But . eternal vigilance is the 'watchword. Unconscious -for soma forty straight hours after receiving a fractured skull in a harvesting accident on Saturday morning, the condition of Mr. Ed. James at the first of the week was expressed by a medical attendant to be “more encouraging”; Mr. James was struck a terrific blow-on- tiie—foreheaj by an irori' pulley which broke away from U beam in tiie barn as a sli&g lift of sheaves wks being hoisted from the wagon. -It is' thought that Mr. James then toppled from the wagon to the barn floor striking his head a sec­ ond-blow.

So critical’was his condition that it was feared it woulfl iprove fatal to move the injured mail and for many bouts he lay on the kitchen lounge,,, at times unconsciously striving to get up, while it was all two men could do to restrain him. Mr. James is highly regarded in his community. He is a quiet and hard working farmer and his many friends are hoping for a continued improvement in his condition.

The village tax rate for 1936 was struck on Tuesday night at 43 mills an increase of one mill over last year’s rate, but the same rate that prevailed in 1934. Several causes enter into the one mill increase. W»th Councillor MacDiarmid ab- j sent, Councfl__scanned! the Clerk’s summary of expenditures to date and: on basing their estimates for the re­ mainder, of the year decided that tiie! one mill boost was required to ade- quatdy complete the year’s finan­ cing. ; Various causes have tended y to boost the rate. The assessment is ■down about $3000. Completing . the. streets cost about $200, which. was paid out of revenue, while last year the cost of the work was covered by issuing debentures. The County rate is up over dver half a mill and the ! increased Library grant accounts for, another half miU. A individual rate has been struck for both'relief and library expenditures. They prev­ iously were covered. by the general; village rate. A min and a half Ims1 been loped off the school rate bring-; ing it down to 143 mills.

Council rescinded a previous mo­ tion and granted The Fire Cd, per­ mission to conduct Saturday night dances provided they closed them at 1L30. The action followed a written' request from Harry Nixon and Dave Milne, as dance committee. Reeve Anderson vacated the chair to make the motion, which was not supported by Councillor Bushell, who felt that “the Council had been brought toi its knew” in tins regard. . In making the motion, Reeve An­ derson pointed cut he had not liked the Company’s attitude when they ; tried to take matters into their ;own>t hands after Saturday night dancing had been banned. There had been no support coming from any who might have favored the Council’s first mo­ tion, jMr? Anderson pointed out, so that he felt the Fire Company winch did so mueh good work in the vil­ lage, should not be denied an oppor­ tunity to raise money so long as they properly conducted thete dances. Users of town water for sprinkr; ling purposes were granted an extra hour for watering daily from 5 to 9 oMock P-m. Council expressed ap­ preciation for the co-operation of. water users in generally observing the previous order limiting the hours; There werd a few instances when the order was disregarded, they were aware, but the majoirty tried to co-operate.
