GRIl1'ALIS-- Stock Scales 14.00 As Councillor Holmes was most anxious to have something done in the way . of mapping out a program of work, in accordance with an offer of assistance from the Federal and Provincial Governments, it was a, greed that a special meeting be held immediately after the adjournment of this regular one, and it was done. We have been free from any epi- demic of Contagious or Infectious diseases during the year. One case of Typhoid Fever imported, but un- fortunately four cases of Undulent fever developed.. This is a'rare dis- ease foe this locality due to the Bac- illus Abotus which lurks in Milk, Butter and Cheese not pasturised. The Milk problem called for a good deal of attention and "•worry, many inspections by myself and the Sanitary Inspector were made. We found the Dairies clean and sanitary but this does not control Undulent Fever. Samples of Blood of all Dairy Cows was sent to the Provincial Health Department for examination so that all infected cows were isolat- ed. • The Veterinary has also given Tuberculin tests to all cows and pro- nounced them free from Tuberculosis. One dairy has installed a pasturis- ing plant and others will follow. Samples of water have been sent to the Ontario Health Department for analysisand reported 10d per cent pure. On three occasions we have had visits from 'various Departments of Ontario Health Office in reference TO our water supply, milk and drainage system. The drainage system is 'due for a remodelling. The school chil- dren have been given Toxoid for Dip- theria prevention. The citizens gen- erally have cooperated with the Board of Health on their instructions and suggestion's.

ST, PAUL'S BAZAAR The annual bazaar held by the Ladies' Guild on Thursday afternoon last was in every way a decided suc- cess. The day was ideal, overhead and underfoot, and many ladies of other congregations as well as the local one cane to patronize the af- ternoon tea and the booths where articles were on sale. The untiring efforts of the ladies were displayed in the numerous ar- ticles for sale in the various booths, and also in the very attractive decor- ations of each booth. The hall look- ed very lovely, indeed. There were eight tea tables and the waitresses were kept very busy, as the tables were filled to capacity all the time during the tea hour. Much credit is due to everyone who helped in any way, because effic, iency and co-operation were shown by all. The various booths in operation during the afternoon included the following: The Fruit and Vegetable Mart; The Pantry Shelf; The Sweet Shop; The Mystery Booth; The Fish Pond; Ye Olde Gift Shoppe; The Kitchen Booth; The Doll Booth and The White Elephant. MOTORIST GIVEN FINE The minimum penalty of $10 and costs was assessed against William Collison, of Blyth, who was found guilty of reckless driving by Magi- strate Reid in Clinton on Saturday, The charge was laid following an ac- cident which occurred on November Gth, about three miles south of here, when a car owned and driven by the defendant skidded after overtaking two girls roller skating on Highway No. 4 and crashed into the ditch. Mrs. Hassen, Blyth, a passenger it the car, received rather serious in- juries, while other occupants escaped with minor bruises. Mr. Collinson carried passenger insurance, which no doubt will pay hospital and doc- tor's bills, as Mrs. Hassan had to re- ceive treatment and care. Wesley -Willis United Church Sermon subject Sunday morning: "The Forerunner of Jesus." In the evening a service of sermon and song from the United Church Hymn- ary will be conducted by the pastor.

An open meeting of the Mission Band League was held on Friday evening, when all members of the congregation were invited to attend and when a number did come out to hear the young folk give a very pleasing little program. This program consisted of a Bible Study drill,, by the whole Band, re- citations and vocal and instrumental numbers by the boys and girls, all of which were much enjoyed.. Some of the musical numbers were given by little music pupils of Miss B, Greene, and their ability was remark- ed upon by some of those in the aud- ience. The leaders of the young people, Mrs.. E. Paterson .and Miss D. Cant- elon, are to be congratulated upon the success of their entertainment. On Thursday evening, l4ovember 80th, Miss Mary Andrews' group served a goose supper to the other members of the Eveready Mission Circle, the feast being spread in the church dining room.

Cor, -Secretary: Miss Isobel Chow At this special meeting much discussion was indulged in and it was decided to map out a program of work, submit it to the Department for approval, and leave it for the 1934 council to deal with. The mem- bers thought that time might be sav- ed in this way inthe b'eginnin'g of a new year and, if troat:ner permits, the work might be gone on with. - PASSING OF MRS. J. COX The doath oceurred on Monday morning at the home of her daugh- ter, Mrs. W. J. Stewart, Huron street, of Mrs. Frances Elizabeth Cox, widow of John Cox of Goderich town- ship in her seventy-eighth year.

She was brought up in the Metho- dist Church, being a member o9 Bethel church later, after union, be- coming a member of Grace United church, Porter's Hill, with which Bethel became amalgamated.
