Ferguson notifies an open inquiry as to the efficiency of continuing picture shows, A. and P. Shows, sporting (chiefly horse racing), and whether it is in the interest of the community to discontinue this above while the war is on. Could you inform your numerous readers if the Efficiency Boards will take evidence in regard to the sale and consumption of alcoholic liquor, and how it affects the efficiency of the people? If we are to win the war, don’t let us lop of the leaves, but get down to the root and destroy the main evil first. If won’t take long to clear lip the other litter.—l am, etc., C. W. SOLE. Stratford, March 28th.
