(northern sec- tion) held in King on Wednesday, September 18th, was attended by sev- eral of the ladies from the Richmond Hill United Church, who report a very helpful conference. Reports from different departments showed pro- gress in all lines of activity and soc- ieties are meeting their allocation. The following resolution was read and adopted; “That this Conference of the oflicers and members of The Women’s Miss- ionary Societies of the Northern Sec- tion of Toronto Centre Presbyterial of Toronto Conference of the United Church reaffirms its position as be- ing unalterably opposed to the manu- facture and sale of intoxicating liqu- icrs for beverage purposes. We deplore the fearful loss in char- acter, life, health and money by the use of intoxicants. We are certain that the system of liquor control op- erating through Ontario Government liquor stores has enormously increas- ‘ed the use of intoxicants and that still more deplorable results would follow its continuance. We, therefore, urge upon The Leg- islature the total prohibition of the traffic in strong drink within our Province. We would call upon all citizens to unite in efforts to destroy the liquor traffic, which is a fearful menace to our homes and to our youth.” | An unique and notable event was celebrated on Friday evening last when about three hundred residents of Vaughan township were guests of the Vellore VVomen’s Institute at a ‘complimentary banquet tendered to ‘the young men’s and young women’s judging teams which competed at the Canadian National Exhibition and to those who competed and won prizes at the spring County judging competâ€" itions held at Richmond Hill in May.
