THE COUNCIL MEETING Clit)ton town council met on Mon - day,evening,all members being pre- sent, ,_ A petition was read from several of the merchants along the east side of Victoria street, asking that a cem- ent step be placed below the sidewalk in front of their places of business,. This matter had been discussed at the last meeting of council but no action was taken, as some members of the council were opposed -to hav- ing the step placed. Councillors Langfcyd: and Holmes opposed it a- gain, contending that if the road were levelled the step Would not be need- ed.p Reeve Elliott .thought it Wright be left over this year, while Coun- cillors Cook, Livermore and Crich thought the step was needed. It was argued that the levelling of the road would cost as touch pr more than the step and that the cement step, when the road came to be rebuilt, would serve as a water level at the side. Finally a motion was carried, spon- sored by Councillors Holmes and Langford, that tenders for the build- ing of this step should be sought by the street commute and a special meeting of the council called to con- sider same.,Mayor Cooper was anx- ious that thwork should be done as soon as possible, as the season is on when the convenience' is needed. Councillor Holmes explained that the reason he was making the motion was on the understandingthat the step should be permanent as a part of the new roadway when it is built. On notion of Reeve Elliott and Councillor Langford a grant of 3400 was given the town band for thirteen concerts to be given weekly during June, July and August, Any con- cert postponed on account of rain or other reasons to be' played.in Sep- tember. Chairman Livermore of the park committee - reported considerable work done on the recreation park, saying that the baseball diamond has been so much improved that it will be one of the best in the district. Chairman Cricb of the street com- mittee reported a number of repairs having been done on the streets. Some discussion followed regarding the removal of crossings, some had been removed and some should be, according to the opinion of several members of council, Reeve Elliott said it had cost money to put in these crossings and now it cost money to take thent out. He thought they should be left alone: But others contended that it was impossible to keep the road built up to them.

After the trans- action of general business, the presi- dent,' Mrs. N. W. Tr+ewarthe, in the chair, Miss •Sreith spoke on "The Four -Square Women's. Institute." Miss Smith said on • arising that this was the` subject chosen by the local branch but that if she had been choosing 1terself she Wright have chosen differently, as she felt -from hearing the ieporte and learning something of the work of the' local branch that it was already a four- square institution and -that she could bring little in the way of new sug- gestions' to it, The four departments which are stressed under the heading of the subject taken ase the Head, the Heart the hand and Health. Taking up the first Miss Smith said that ' every homemaker should be intelligent in her management of her home and in her work in the community. She should study her job and administer her work in -an intelligent way. She should avail herself of the assistance given by the Department in the way of literature, she should study cur- rent. events, she should be a regular patron of the Public Library 'end should make herself well informed on a great variety of subjects. 'Every woman, she said, should have the blue books on health, hone econom- ies. etc., which are for her use. She should study the history of her com- munity and understand its historical resources. Several of the branches, she said, were doing very important - work in bringing to light and pre- serving historical matter in their communities. Demonstration classes were another source of intelligent interest. Women must train their beads if they were going to contri- bute of their best to their homesand communities. They should also develop their hear•ta, their individualities.

She urged the use of young girls in the Institute, the putting m' of short courses in sewing, nutrition, etc. And the homemaker can do much to raise the standard of health - in the com- munity by using and urging upon the community the use of sanitary measures. She closed her address by reciting a little poen by Edgar Guest.
