Already President Runciman of the
Board of Trade has told the hotel
proprietors that they will have to
eliminate gala dinners and the usual
entertainments. Some of the leading
hotels had already prepared elabor-
ate dinners for Christmas and New
Years at from s. to $40 a plate. Still
others had applied for an extension
of the closing hours until or 3
o'clock in the morning Just as they
do in New York and other cities Of
the United States.
But the Liquor Control Board put
its foot down on this. This body
which regulates the hours at which
drinking may be INDUCED in set its
face sternly against all extensions Of
hours. II refused to even tilt the
lid. Thus the restricting hours in
effect almost since the beginning Of
the war, namely - o'clock to 2:30
in the afternoon and $50 to . in the
evening, will remain undisturbed dur

To say that this refusal OF the au-
thorities to "listen to reason" as the
hotelmen and caterers put it, has
been disappointing is putting il
mildly, and the result was frequent
