Says It Is Moral Suicide For Ontario To Go Back on O.’l‘.A.â€"â€"Explained Working of Government Control in British Columbia and West. There was no mistaking the mes- sage. delivered by Rev. W. W. Peck of Vancouver. in the town hall here last Thursday evening. He spoke in favor of the retention of the O.T.A. 'in Ontario and in detail, by facts and figures. argued that so-oaslled gov- ernment control is a myth. In Bri- rtish Columbia, where he has gone Ithrough all the campaigns, govern- ment control is the sorrisest measure yet put on the statutes for the con- rnl of the liquor traffic. and, accord- ing to the speaker, a good many who voted for the measure in 1920 are but awaiting the chance to reverse their decision at the next election. UIIk'II ‘JLI‘JU‘J- -â€" Mr. Peck said that numerous ardent supporters of government control four years ago now see their mistake and have ofl‘ered their services to the prohibition committee when nemied Instead of promoting sobriety government contrOI has increased drunkenness. necessitating the in- creasing of the police force, moral laws are being openly broken, and taxes are Higher than they were un- lil‘I‘ prohibition. The speaker gave the evidence of men prominent in the politica‘l life of British Columbia who have stat- cd openly that government control is the worst thing that ever struck the Pacific province. He accused l . “‘r‘ I the moderation league as being the puppets of the brewers and distillrrs and gave instances to show that while many reputable men of the province} were won over to the moderation league side. when they found out what it stood for they were not long in deserting their new friends and returning to the prohibition fold. He! said that every hotelkeeper in On- tario should get out and work for the O.T.A., citing instances in his own province where hotelmen were accused of breaking the law when they were entirely innocent. Gov- ernment control gave men the priv- ilege of carrying a bottle and oftenâ€" times hotel bedrooms were used for the holding of debauches, for which the proprietor was blamed but who in reality could not be held responsi- ble. ;ei'y much enjéyed by all pres- .1 Mr. Peck’s address was one that hit straight from the shoulder and we are sorry that circumstances, ex- pmained on our editorial page, will not permit us going more fully into his address.

Satisfac 300‘ Run On Tuesday lamina. The 'new chemical fire truck or- rived in town Monday afternoon and on Tuesday morning was given its first tryout, when it did good work in extinguishing a fire set with box- es and oil placed on the commons at the rear of The Chronicle office. The fire was started and the first. alarm sounded at 10.38. The engine arrived at. 10.40, and the blaze was out at 10.46. The new outfit is a handsome af- fair, mounted 'on a'Ford truck chasâ€" sis, and is capabie of combatting a fire with a continuous stream or chemical for an unlimited period. On the truck are mounted two 35-gallion tanks, either of which, or both, may be used. When one tank is dis- charged, the other can be turned on and this will furnish a good stream for about eight minutes, during which period the discharged tank I-.. can'fi'e 'réb'tiéimd and be ready for operation by the time the other is empty. The outfit is painted the regula- tion red, and besides the chemical engine, there is a carrier capable of carrying about six hundred feet of the regulation fire engine hose. We feel that the Council made no mis- take in purchasing the outfit, and, with a proper alarm system install- ed the town has comparatively good protection from fire.

DURBAI ”RESIDENT VISITBD BIRTBPLASE IN VAUGHAN Mr. David Kinnee of this placei spent a pleasant holiday in Vaughan Township a couple of weeks ago when he vie 'ed, probably for the first time in! is memory, the place of his birth. The farm on which Mr. Kinnee was born is situated near Maple, and though he moved from that loaality with his parents when only three years of ago, he assures us that it was to him a great pica- 'sure to return and view the place in which he first saw the light of day. Close to Mr. Kinnee‘s birthplace is also the birthplace of Lord Beaver- brook, better known in Canada at one time as Sir Max Aitken, and which the British peer recently vis- ited while on a tour of Camda this summer. llama uuuuua , ms GIVEN favour PLEBISCITB ELECTION KISS EVELYN SHARP}?
