IMPORTANT NOTICE Re Hydro TO facilitate in wiring the streets for Hydro it is very' necessary that Council should know at once who ineend wiring their houses (if not already wired.) Those who do should leave their name with Clerk A. H, Macdonald or Reeve Banker, It is also itnportaut that those who propose putting in Electric Ranges before Hydro comes should inform Clerk or Reeve also, Bruseele Stove rate compares favorably, and in some cases is cheaper than such places as Wingham, Kincar- dine, Listowel, Seaforth and Goderich. If you intend putting in an Electric Range and do not let Council know the line on the street will not be wired for Stove service, Would also ask all business places to be wired for Hydro as soon tie poseible as no place will be connected to Hydro un- leesproperly wired.

A Spring Boquet for the Editor MR, EDITOR,— The occasional copies of THE POST wbich reach me are always read with interest as they often record matters of which I was familiar in other days, and also, alas 1 the record of the pass- ing of some with whom I was familiar in earlier years. It may be an easy matter to run is newspaper for two or three years and sustain the interest but to do so for over 40 years is an achievement of which you, Mr. Editor, may feel just- ly proud. What a variety of prose and poetry, fact and fancy, and what numbers have been helped by this weekly argosy of moral and intel- lectual blessing 1 THE POST is not run on the "Scissors and paste -pot" pian, but the individuality of the Edi- tor is strongly in evidence every week. The brief editorials on page 4, column. 1, are always bright, up-to-date and often humorous, and his descriptions of local events, .Fuc, are of the most breezy character. For instance, in last week's issue who would not laugh at the old stable with a broken back— the futile effort to c0uvert mere syrup into the real stuff by singing "The Maple Leaf Forever," the unfortunate pedestrian being dry-cleaned ere his return to consciousness, and the economy practised by the Editor in heating bre office from the contents of his wastebasket, The latter reminds me of the poet who sent an effusion to the Editor for publication. It did not appear, and the contributor wrote the Editor saying that if he did not pub- lish it he wished it returned as ire had other irons in the fire. The Editor returned it with the suggestion that he take one of the irons out of the fire and put the poem in its place, I must not trespass on your apace. Wishing you continued health and blessing, and that your nutnerous readers may adopt the following as a line of action— Of the Brussels Poet we will ever make our boast, And work with zeal and deter- mination To extend its circulation, Yours DA ever, D.
