GARBAGE COLLECTION In many towns and cities garbage collection systems have been estab­ lished for some time and in others consideration is now being given to this problem. In Wingham, garbage collection facilities are available to any who 'desire it at a very small cost —about $4.00 for 12 months. 'This, we believe, is a very satisfactory ar­ rangement for a town such as ours. It is somewhat surprising, however, that a great number of homes do not use this service, as it is the most sani­ tary way of disposing of refuge. In summer garbage draws flies and the flies carry germs. As far as possible all refuse should be kept in covered containers.

One of the laws requires that every car driver has a permit and that such permits must be in possession of the driver at all times when he or she is driving a car. People wdre get­ ting so careless in regard to having their permits with them that the At­ torney-General has issued a special warning in this regard. When driving be sure that your permit is in possession. When driving use courtesy and common sense and avoid accidents. * # * * SINGLE JOBLESS > We notice that soup kitchens been set up for 700. single -unemploy­ ed at Port Arthur and recently in Toronto a large number of these men were ousted from the Coliseum.

Boyle “SPRING FIRES” that THE DOMINION BANK ESTABLISHED 1871 Wingham Branch X tt M. Spittai, Manager Brussels Man 93 Andrew Tennant, of Brussels, cele­ brated his 93rd birthday Thursday. Although advanced in years he pos­ sesses an astonishingly clear memory. Born in Milverton he lived in Milver­ ton for four years, In 1851 his par­ ents moved to Elma Township and Jarmed for 16 years. In 1867 he mar­ ried Rachel Jane Sack'rider, of Bur* gessville. Five children were born to this union, All, have passed on. In 1870 he went to Nevada, but returned two years later. In 1922 he moved to Brussels, Mrs, Tennant died in 1925. What is there about Spring makes a woman want to start a bon­ fire? Is it some throwback from prim­ itive days, when the caveman ventur­ ed forth and while the •animals had a glossy hide, slew one, skinned it, and brought it home to make a new Spring outfit for Mr. and Mrs. /Caveman. Theft I suppose they had a bonfire, feeling that it was safer to burn the old hides, than to venture sending them out to a local cleaning and pressing emporium. It was at dinner-time today that I foresaw what’ was coming. Mrs, Phil, usually one who takes time with her meals, was hurrying through, I was still on meat and potatoes when she drained the last of her tea, and then with a hurried excuse went out in the backyard. An errant Spring breeze supplied the answer to whatever cur­ iosity I may have had, by sending a huge cloud of smoke, When I finished my meal it was find Mrs, Phil raking all the chips sight into the bonfire. Now that’s all right! I like to see everything tidied up for Spring, but what I hate is when she starts looking for material itt to lit Lucknow Post Office Opens June 15 Word has been received by the local Liberal Committee from W. R. Tom- linson, MJ?»> that Thursday, June 15 for tliait fire in the house. SUi:q enough, when I was halfway through a pipeful of tobacco, she came out with the first armful of stuff . . . and the battle was on . . . “Look at that good hat, why arc you burning it?” “Because it’s no pos­ sible. use to you, and besides you haven’t worn it for two years.’’ For fully ten minutes the argument raged about the hat. True enough the hat is too small for me, and it does look sort of faded, but my contention was that it was too good to throw away. Books, magazines, papers, an old overcoat. She was the prosecution and I was the defense lawyer.. My strongest argument Was that the stuff was too good to throw away. The papers . . well I saved then! to read a certain article. The fire waxed stronger, and the pile of stuff that I had retrieved grew bigger around me. Then came the umbrella. About three years ago, 1 Was walking home from the village when I saw this umbrella lying in the dump, down by the first swale. I pick­ ed it up and because it looked not too bad I brought it home with me. Mrs. Phil scoffed at the idea that it could be any good, because the cloth all came off the ribs when I put the thing up, but I maintained that an umbrella frame was better than no­ thing, Each year we have a row over whether that umbrella should be kept or not, Last’ year we came danger-, ously close to a real row. Well, sir, that umbrella showed up today and there was really fireworks. In desperation at my arguments to keep the umbrella, she walked into the house and told me to do whatever I wanted with the whole mess of junk *— as she termed it. I had time with cooler reason to ex­ amine the whole thing in detail. Im­ partially I examined the twhole af­ fair, and somehow there didn’t seem to be much reason tor keeping a lot of it. So I weeded it out. Ah old pair of shoes without soles . . . the old torn coat . . . the old hat . . . the old pap­ ers because I couldn’t think of what there was in them that I wanted to see . . . the old magazines because some of them were musty . . and be­ fore I realized it I was back' down to the umbrella. Now to throw all of it in the fire would be conceding defeat. So I slip­ ped into the back woodshed and hung the- umbrella frame up in there. I made a mental note to cover it with cloth before next year, but I have a suspicion that it will bob up next year when the spring fire season comes around. A person does gather up a lot of stuff in the year,, and I guess if Mrs. Phil didn’t take it in her head to have a fire in the Spring, I'd have to rent another house to store the stuff in. Anyway I still have the umbrella frame! It wasn’t all defeat! 10 cents each. Every effort will be made to supply the public, demand. At least one person in every family should obtain one of these artistic and carefully wrought souvenirs which will be cherished in years to come as mementoes of an unique occasion in the history of our country.
