Tho T. Milburn Co., Ltd., Toronto, Ont. Johnny Pinktoe and his Tricycle Dr. p. A. Anderson In our last story about Johnnie we told you about his new snow shovel, and what joy it brought to his life when he used it for the good of a poor old crippled lady. The snow has all melted now and Johnnie has put away his heavy overcoat and his cheeks glow with the joy of Springtime. He has had rather a long anxious -winter of waiting, for a few weeks before Christmas he wrote a letter to San­ ta asking him for a tricycle. Santa got the letter on the first day of December and he laughed till his little fat sides were sore for John­ nie had spelled nearly every word wrongly, but Santa knew what he meant, so he went to Johnnie’s house one night while the little boy was asleep, and he said to the spar­ row bird, “now you watch Johnnie and see if lie is a good. boy. You just see if he does everything that his Mother and Daddy and sisters tell him to do. See if he smiles and is good natured.” •So after a few days the little sparrow bird flew away up to where good old Santa lives and said “You bet Johnnie is a good boy, he is never cross, and he does everything he is asked to do.” So Santa brought Johnnie the new tricycle for Christmas, and he has piad a hard time waiting for Spring to come so that he could try his new wheel. But now the snow is all gone where Johnnie lives and he promised his Mother that he would not go off the sidewalk if she would let him take his wheel out. The wheel is a red one and it looked so nice that all the men and women stopped to look at it. And all the little boys wanted to try it to see if they could go as fast as the little bow-wow puppy dogs on the street, And when the other boys were trying the wheel Johnnie just clapped his hands and laughed to see how fast they could go. And when he brought his wheel home he was so glad because he had been nice to the other little boys, that he went straight up to his Mama and gave her a big hug and a nice sweet kiss. Then he put his wheel away so that it would not get lost. And he told his sister that he was always going to be good. He would always clean his shoes before coming into the house, and he would never say bad words nor get cross, so that every (Christmas Santa would like him and would bring him something nice. iHis sister smiled and asked him if he was going to shave every morning to please his wife, but Johnnie said he was not going to have a wife. He was goiijg to live always with his Mother and Daddy. Johnnie plays on the sidewalk every day with his wheel and he never forgets to bring it in at noon or in the evening, and he always keeps it bright and shiny. Once I heard of a nice little boy losing a fine sleigh that Santa had given him and he was awfully sorry. But Johnnie never loses anything, and all the boys and girls like him because he lets them ride on his wheel and he never cries or gets angry with them. And if the tricycle doesn’t swal- law Johnnie’s snow shovel and make itself sick so that the doctor has to slap it on the seat to keep it from choking, I’ll tell yen next time about “Johnnie at the Picnic.” HAY COUNCIL The regular monthly meeting of rhf council of the Township of Hay was held in the Town Hall, Zurich, on Monday, August 18th, with all members present.

Council Enjoyed Authority Given to. Rule Selves New Experience to Settlers who Killed Up Anfield and Wawamosh Towj|i>hi]>s MEETING AT PORT ALBERT TO ORGANIZE CIVIC BODY It is paradoxical that, Lucky Teter and his Hell Drivers who defy death a dozen limes every afternoon, are earnest advocates of safe driving. Police departments and safety or­ ganizations all over America, have availed themselves of Teter’s ad­ vice. He even goes as far as to suggest modified crash helmets for motorists taking extended tours on high speed highways. On one oc­ casion he was “given” a ticket by an officer who said his carefulness constituted traffic impediment. Tet­ er will be at the Canadian National Ehlbition for two weeks.

All coast defence troops are equip­ ped with gas nnmks and Canadian production is geared not only to fill Canada’s requirements but also to furnish a substantial number to Allied troops. Immigration to District, Late In Starting, Proceeded With Rush of British By AV. H. Johnston in the London Free Press In the million-acre grant of land given to the Canada Company in the Huron District, extending from Guelph to Lake Huron, the town­ ships of Ashfield, AVesl and East AVawanosh, were not included and therefore did not share in the great influx of immigrants in the early 1830’s, but as the company’s large area filled up, settlers turned their attention to vacant lands to the north. Immigrants were enthusiastic over the hope of owning a farm for themselves from which they could not be driven at the wim of a land­ lord, and they came in such numbers that the Government of that day hastened to have areas surveyed to receive them. In 1837 AVilliam Hawkins laid out the town plot of Port Albert, and farm lands were also surveyed. Between 1837 and 1841 the first settlers came north from Goderich by water or by following the shore line. The first were Andrew Mc­ Connell, Jerome Sharpe, Stephen Martin and John Hawkins and fam­ ily. Sharpe did not remain long and McConnell was drowned in 1842 while on his way in a boat from Goderich, though his descen­ dants and those of the other men still occupy an important place in the townships. Soon after the coming of these men they were followed by others who located along the Lake Range up to the Bruce boundary. The first were John Dean, Maurice Dalton and Jeremiah Flynn, who formed rhe nucleus of the Roman Catholic parish at Kingsbridge. Then north of that the first settlers were Alex, McLean and Roderick Finlayson, who were followed by a large num­ ber of Scotch Presbyterians who lo­ cated from Kintail to Amberley and Lochalsh. The area is still occupied by their descendants after the lapse of almost a century. From both the Irish and Scotch settlements have gone, out possibly a larger number of distinguished scholars than from any other rural area of the same size in Ontario. From St. Joseph’s parish at Kingsbridge 18 young meit have entered the priesthood since 1860 and since 1875 30 young women have joined the sisterhood of the church and are to be found in convents in many remote points on this continent. Turning to the eastern side of the township we find that the first settler was AVilliam Mallough who drove through from Hamilton in 184 3 and settled on lot 12, conces­ sion 5. Next year Robert Davidson took up the adjoining lot on con­ cession 4. Half of the present Vil­ lage of Dungannon is located on these two lots. During 1848 and 11849 Richard Treleaven, Thomas Anderson, the Altons, Hacketis and others came. In 1845 Henry Phil­ lips and his three stalwart sons were to be found settled on the Sth and 9th concessions. The centre of the township filled rapidly as newcomers came pouring in from both sides about this time and with­ in four or five years almost every lot was occupied or bought. The first mill was built by the Government at Port Albert wheie on account of the water power on the Nine Mile River it was believed a town would be established before long. In 1842, Ashfield which included also East and AVest AVawanosh was formed into a municipal district and when an area was surveyed in the southern part of Bruce it was added to Ashl'ield also. On January 3, 1842, a “town meeting” was held in Sharpe’s Ho­ tel, Port Albert, for the purpose of electing a council to manage the af­ fairs of the new municipality. After Maurice Dalton was voted to the chair it was moved by AVilliam E. Higgins seconded by John King, that John Hawkins. Sr., be council­ lor. DONATIONS TOTAL $5,000 ONE AVEEK Free-will contributions to Can­ ada's war effort during the past week amount *o about five thousand dollars according to figures made known by the Department of Fin­ ance. By far the greater part of this amount is made up of donations, small and large, from individuals motivated by a desire to help 'he war effort outside of contributions made Uirough regular channels ox taxation. Numerous donations coni'* from the United States. An American sends in five dollars *o help refugee children with the comment; “Trust­ ing that the British Empire will soon conquer Germany and that the children will be able to return to their homelands.” “Being Canadian born, though living in the U.S., 1 find it my duty to make this contrihu'ion,” says a nurse, the contribution: $10'). An American citizen who enjoy­ ed a pleasure trip through the Can­ adian AVest last year sends along $luo as part of the money he would have spent had he been able to re­ turn to Canada for a vacation this year. From Nova Scotia cames rhe wi­ dow's mite in rhe words of the lady who sent along the donation; "As you know my salary is not lai’ge . . . I am a widow. I would like to give more hut really can’t see my way clear to do it - (the widow's mite.” ISAAC E. HODGINS DIES IN 83ND YEAR aT LUCAN Isaac Ensley Hodgins passed away at his home in Lucan on Aug­ ust 15th after a lengthy illness in his 82nd year. Mr. Hodgins was born in Bid- dulph Township where he farmed on the 5th concession until 1920 when he retired and moved to the village. He is survived by his wife, the former Anna McDougall; one daughter, Mrs. A. B. Schinbein, of Vancouver,. and three sons, Dr. G.
