' i . * ? * j J. ; . . j Wester'ville, Ohio, Aug. 14.-7-: The general council of the United Churches of Canada, at its closing session recently at Montreal, adopted a resolution urging prohibition within "Canada of the manufacture, importion or exportation-bf liqour for beverage purposes as 'the pTrfy; .-uuMaciory way ol controlling the liquor tratlin " The resolution contained a pro test to the government and people against "the continuation of tjho .tffyame of rum running across the borders- to the' United States," and.urged both more e'f fective laws against such exportation and more honest and eflb cient enforcement of thfs law. The general council of the churches warned that while through .out, the civili/.ed world an inrnos ingly successful attempt-was beng made to lessen the sale, and consumption of alcoholic bever-_ ages, "in Canada there are those who would increase such* sale ajljL;consumption rby substilutlrrg prohibilion in (lie four provinces now enjoying the ben efits of a provincial prohibitory | law." f . ? 1 ?t . ' ,' - j "The laj^e. of Kuwait-; animura, ovw in Isfhkawarken un the west coast decided last winter that" it needed a new school for, its children. The school wanted would cost about 45,000 yen, but only about one-j third of that was in sight. ThU| other 30,000 yen would lie bor-i rowed from the prefecture, jbut the villagers dredaed placing such a heavy burden of indebtedness upon the..xillage, writes Mark R.

The' idea met with approval. At the first town meeting this"year the action was formally passed. The regu 1 atiotdlng for the dry village are as follows: 1. The purpose of the prohibition is to incufcate habits thrift and to. save the village THE PALMET1 1 from heavy indebtedness on ac-1 counT of its new, school. ! * 2. The inhabifants"sh?ll~ob- " | serve total abstinence for five i years, except that sake may be : used in connectioa with religious ceremony At village festivals, corner stone layings and wetfa ding ceremonies. , ??? 3.
