The mill was owned and op- erated by Thomas liemphill for many years in the production of split peas and flaked wheat berries. later, a sideline of handling coal was added. In 194e t-corge Walkey purchased the business which continued until about ten'e, and the mill has been idle 'ince that rime. Wes Paulin, associated with the Ilemphill tinn since 132, and made foreman in 1040 when Mr. Walkey purchased the mill has remained in that cap- acity until the present time. Mr. Brink has not disclosed what use he will make of the m ill. It is also good to see the sawmill in Wroxeter working again atter being idle for a few years. John Gibson Jr. Is now running the mill and has many logs and a supply at lumber in the yard. G. A. WILLIAMS, 0.0. Optometrist G. PATRICK STREET W.

Now therefore it is telt that if assistance in its present form is considered to be necessary, and if it is to be rendered on an impartial basis. Now therefore be it resolved that in designating areas of slow growth it is recommended that total areas as opposed to indi- vidual municipalities be so de- signated and that all munici- palities in such area shall be entitled to the same type of as- sistance, and in particular, that the area extending from Code- rich to Orangeville, lying north of provincial highway number 9 and extending to Georgian Bay, he so designated. This resolution was circulat- ed throughout the area and prompted the meeting which brought together representatives from more than 34 communi- ties in that area. I was rather surprised to.find in the minutes of the meeting that representa- tions had been made by two or three of the communities with- in that area, who had come to Ottawa asking that they might he included in this designation and participate in the special privileges given to communi- ties within those areas. They were not too happy with the re- ception they were given and were sent home feeling there was just no hope .for their ever being able to participate in this type of program. I suggest to the Minister that once again a committee will be coming from that area to Ot- tawa asking that when the final reassessment is made of what are to be the criteria for desig- nated areas, this formula per- haps should be changed and some consideration given to slow growth and to the young high school students in order that their names may be added to the number of people seeking work within that community, giving some hope that these areas will conic within the spe- cial designation that is set up by the Department of Industry.

Treasurer James Allan con- firmed this week that Ontario will have the use of $20, 110, - 000 from the 1‘• oruary opera- tions of the Canada Pension Plan for university and school construction loans. He pointed out that a crown corporation will be established to lend money to municipali- ties and school boards for school construction in the same man- ner that the universities capi- tal aid corporation inakesloans to universities. Ontario will be able to bor- row the money from the pen- sion plan fund this month at an interest rate of 5.29 compared with 0 3/4(r/oon the bond mar- ket. It will be lent to the uni- versities and municipalities at close to the rate at which it borrows, but the rate will vary from month to month.

He urged the government to appoint a select committee as a step toward curing a problem that is growing more serious every year for a great many of our citizens.

The vessels were retired from passenger service by their owners, Canadian Pacific Rail- ways, because of a simple case of too much wood in their con- struction to meet new safety regulations. The Assiniboia, however, will continue in freight service. It's a sad occasion, as many crew members of the Keewatin -- for some their home for 25 years -- now are idle. And pas- senger bookings tripled for a nostalgic final cruise. During a season the ships car- ried more than 11,000 passen- gers, 1,600 cars and tons of freight. Their passing leaves just one cruise service in On- tario, from Tobermory to Mani- toulin Island, operated by the Owen Sound Transportation Co. Harry Press Continues to Operate Store BELMORE—The end of Febru- ary, 1900 marked the end of 25 years' service for postmaster Harry Press of Belmore. Mr. Press, who operates a general store in the village, will still be continuing that business so we will continue to enjoy his sun- ny smile and cheery disposition! Needless to say, we have appreciated Harry's service in the post office this past quar- ter-century and look forward to having him around in his store for the next 25 years! After all, our Culross corner wouldn't be the same without 'good old Hat- ry' ! Taking over the post of- fice duties will be his daugh- ter-in-law, Mrs. K. C. Press.
