I sincerely trust _that, in the light of our experience with ‘prohibition for ten years, of the over- whelming declaration of the peopleâ€" including tens of thousands of ardent prohibitionistsâ€"in 1929. and of the utter insincerity of such a great mass of ‘drys’. the delegates to the conven- tion may entirely disregard the threats levelled at them in advance and vote as they think best for the country in gen- eral and the wishes of the Liberal party as a whole.” Senator Hardy says he does not wish to impugn the sincerity of Dr. A. J. Irwin nor of his colleagues at the head of the Prohibition Union. Senator Hardy says the Liberal con- vention is called upon by the prohibi- tionlsts at least to declare for a plebis- cite or some similar reference. “If the maple of the province are not satisfied with the results or the last two elec- tions. carried as they were on the plat- forms of ‘wet’ and ‘dry’ to the real ex- clusion of all else,” says the Senator, “Indeed,” he asks “would not a third party be even better than the betrayals the Liberal party has been subject to for many years on their part? Then, at least, we might know where they stand.” “Better Than Betrayals” Looking back to the elections of 1926 and 1929, Senator Hardy comments upon the amount of support the Liber- als received in those contests from prohibitionists. Senator Hardy had not returned to Canada from EurOpe when the state- ment of the Ontario Prohibition Union to which he alludes, was published. He has now issued from Ottawa an open letter in which he replies to the union’s statement. He speaks of the Union’s statement as an ultimatum of the prohibition forces, both within and without the party, and a less than veiled threat that a third party will be formed if the approaching Liberal con- vention does not adhere to a prohibition platform. With bitter sarcasm he suggests that, ii the Liberal party can receive no more support from prohibitionists generally than it did in 1926 and 1929, it can have little to fear from their opposition, whether organized or not as a third party. Therefore he urges the dele- gates who will attend the forthcoming convention in Toronto to disregard the threat of the Prohibition Union and vote as they think best for the good of the country and of the Liberal party as a whole. form, has evoked sharp reply from Senator A. C. Hardy. president of the Ontario Liberal Association. In that reply Senator Hardy lays a charge or insincerity against “a great mass of ‘drys’ ” and complains of “the betray- als the Liberal party has been subject to for many years on their part.” h--. ‘ NOT RULE!)

Provin- cial Constable Mennie and Constable Gill took charge of Bailey, who had been nabbed by the Fergus chief. l They were leaving the village to return to Guelph with the prisoner, when they spotted a stolen car, in which Hamilton had made his getaway from’ the store. They turned and gave chase, and the car swung out on to the Orangeville road. At 50 miles an hour on the slippery surface or the highway» the chase went on and it was only after risking the danger of being forced into- the ditch on several occasions that they anallyforcedthecar toastandstill and placed Hamilton under arrest. A thrilling motor car chase over icy roads, north of Fergus, in which pro- vincial and Guelph police participated at an early hour Monday morning, re- sulted in the capture of Ross Hamilton, 18, of Fergus, who, with Bruce Bailey, 21, of Orangeville, arrested earlier, pleaded guilty in police court to charges of burglarizing three places in West Garatraxa and Fergus, in addi- tion to the theft of a motor car. Both were remanded to the Wellington County jail one week for sentence. The second petition was from the In- ternational League for Peace and Free- !dom, supporting peace, and requesting the support of the United Farm Women of Ontario.

Should we not be prepared to cape with the: situation? May We take courage ml the fact that depression was the whip which drove farm people into organized action?” NAB THIEF AFTER THRILLING CHASE It registered a protest against the spirit of war and requested those sign- ing it to pledge themselves to do ev- erything in their power to abolish war and by thought and deed to foster in their homes and communities a spirit of good-will towards people of every race and creed. 'mo petitions for world peace were introduced by Miss M. J. Macpherson, Toronto, secretary, and were accepted by the meeting.

Last week’s Goderich Signal recalls the “big squash” of that district, grown in that neighborhood twenty-five years ago by the late William Warnock. The Signal says the squash weighed 403 pounds, and was the biggest ever grown in North America, if not in the World. Mr. Warnock was at that time a resident of Goderich and specialized in growing this kind of garden stuff. The fame of the Warnock squash is still spreading, and a recent issue of the Salt Lake Tribune had a picture of Mr. Warnock standing beside a 362-ib. squash, somewhat smaller than the record which weighed 403 pounds and a photo of which appears in the Signal showing Mr. Warnock standing behind the big cucurbita. upon which his two daughters are seated.
