Increases the total amount of alcohol sold with the tend-1 eney aJso to sell more hard liquor and less beer.

The more lax and wide-1 spread system of liquor sale has re-created a vast private ownership interest In retail sale of alcohol which did not exist between 1917 and 1947 in Ontario and which does not exist now in B C.

But now, after a week spent in delving into the background effects, I am quite clear in my own mind: I snail vote NO.

At last some-yV thing is to be done for their maintenance . . . planting, cleaning up debris and keeping grass down should do much for beautification. Parks'are not alone for tourists to look at with wonderment. A park should be a place where the eyery-day worker, our city's citizen can walk th ough, or sit down and admire nature in the raw ahd relax. Relaxation plays a big part in keeping ourselv'es stable a balance of body and mind. The fever of business throughout the week, the hiistle of work on any job, is apt to tire us mentally. Relexation is the answer, and just to take tfiings easy for a few minutes as nature does her-st-lf is relaxing. We can learn much from Mother Nature let's stroll through the park. Gommemorate Our Sailors THE Battle of the Atlantic fought to a large I extent by Canadian sailors against lurking submarines, torpedoes finding their mark in the hulls of merchant vessels and warships is to be remembered tomorrow. ' . "Battle of Atlantic Sunday" commemorates the sacrifices and triumphs of more than five years of anti-submarine warfare. " But there vvas much more to it than blazing guns and the slam of depth charges. Often the elements provided as bitter a foe as the human enemy. And in these perils of the war-torn sea, many a Canadian sailor and some from Prince Rupert gave up their lives for their country. These we will remember Sunday, with a silent prayer, a kindly thought, and a realization of that for which thev died. Rupert Radio & Electric ing their own bottles of hard liquor. This is certainly to the good. 4. But the new system has not abolished the bootlegger. Juvenile delinquency is a more serious problem in Ontario right now than it is in any part of the Canadian west. The Globe and Mail for May 9 reports the case of a school principal who called police after bootleggers had sold three bottles of wine to 14 and 15 year old girl pu-'('nnlinuefl on 5aue 3 a setback to our province at the very time when we should bo getting ready to go forward. HERE Is how the local option system has worked out In Ontario. In centres of over 50 000 the liquor control commission can license any or all of eight different kinds of drink selling outlets REGARDLESS OF THE WISHES OF THE PEOPLE IN THE ACTUAL VICINITY. In the suburb of Toronto in which this is written over 90 per cent of the people signed a petition against granting of hard liquor licences. Yet the board granted them. In centres below 50,000 the law says there must be a local option vote, which must carry by a 60 per cent majority. I have spent a good deal of time studying the actual working out of this law. The plain fact Is that in all the combined local option votes to date the total dry vote outnumbers the total wet vote. But the net effect is that there are more liquor selling outlets in Ontario than there ever were mmmmm MM imimm t .... iiHii ii WILL BE USED IN THE COMING ICELAND FARMERS ANCIENT CITY.
