"After the reading of the minutes a number of eommuni cations were read: One from It. S. Smith and others asked for a light to be placed at the'south side or the C.N.R. track and another from resi- 'dents on Fulton street asking For e light at the end of, that street. ,Sev- eral members of the council discussed` this platter and Councillor 'Cooper pointed out that for years; W. Jaelt- son had had a light in front of his house and thought it hardly fair that private. residents should have to light the -streets. Councillors Livermore and Thompson said there should be alight near the track, as it was inepossible when driving to - Wards town to see a train, until you- were ouwere nearly upon it. On motion of Councillors Livermore and. Thomp- son it was decided to place a light over the track some little distance and to see the C.N.R. officials re-` garding thelacin of a ht at P g light the crossing. ,-,- Mr. _Mr. C. Patterson wrote asking for a cigarette license for his bowling alley and on motion of ,Councillors Holmes and Thompson this was granted, Councillor Cooper demand- ing the yeas and nays, he and Coun- cillor Livermore voting nay. Mr. Cooper asked how Mr. Patterson re- ceived his bowling license, Clerk Macpherson explaining that .the mayor had authorized it. Mr. Coop- er thought such matters ought to oome before the council. He had no, objection to the granting of this license, he said, but thought it was the business of the whole council to consider such matters. Chief Stong wrote the council ex- plaining that he had consulted with Ilii: Stanbury about the pool room which is running without the con- sent of the council, who said if his witnesses stood their ground the council had -a good case. Council- lor Cooper thought this natter should have been cleared up long ago and blamed the town officials for the delay. He saidIt'was the intention last month to have a special meeting of the council to consider it. On motion of Councillors Thompson and Paisley the council decided to ask Chief Stong to meet them on Friday evening, November 8th, to discuss the natter and deeide what to do. C. .Allison and Son wrote asking that certain portions of their pro- perty be assessed as farm lands, this, on notion of Councillors Pais- ley Cooper, and Coo er was referred to the assessor, to report back to the coun- cil. The Bell Telephone Company wrote asking for written records of permission given for trimming some trees some weeks ago and the clay, was instructed to send same. Councillor Cooper of the street committee reported that Mr. Weekes of the Evaporator had asked that something be done with the road leading to the evaporator, as it was in very bad condition. He thought something should he done and recommended action. Council- lor Thompson said he had been over some of this road and that it ser- tainly.needed attention. It was de- cided that the street committee loose into the matter and give needed at - tion. Rheve Trewartha read a commun- ication from the Coveter Engineer regarding snow fences which willbe available soon and it was decided that the reeve, after consultation with Road Supt. Carbert, should see that needed fencing is erected. Chairman Holmes of the fire and Water committee explained how the chemical fire engine is to be kept warm during the winter months. ,Chairman Thompson of the cetoe- tery committee reported that the cemetery never looked better than at present and, with .Councillor Liver- more as seconder, moved that one or two park lots be opened during the coining winter, if necessary. Reeve Trewartha, chairman of the property, committee, reported that all the town hall windows had been tightened up and made ready for the cold weather. Councillor Cooper said he had had complaints- about rest room, that it was in a filthy,; state, Reeve Trewartha said he had, not lied any late report but had been informed conditions 'theta had been. much improved. Mr, A. Cantelon ' addressed the council regarding the condition of drains near his residence and thought something Should be done about it as he could not keep his cellar dry. On motion of Councillor`s Paisley and Thompson the chief was in structed' to clean out tile at corner of North and Huron streets and see if the cause of the trouble could be located.- If this does not mend the matter something elso will be tried.

It is supposed that the robbers were looking for phoney or liquor parcels, neither of which are ever shipped on the late train. .The express is stored at the ,end of the station bunldinn• and, after the late train, goes up, the building, is isolatedto some extent and, were valuable goods left there it might look like a very easy matter to break in the door and make off with them, Parcels of great value are never stored there over night, however. Although there were a number of parcels of more 'or less worth were not molested. COLLEGIATE NEWS Be it known to all that, the Col- legiate Literary society has been reorganized, and started on its third successful year. To every student, whether' he be an active participant, or 'a mere 013 looker, the society is of boundless benefit. For in the past, it has ac- complished much in the producing of fine programmes, discovering of„ new talent, and promoting interest in lit- erary and musical work throughout the school. Now, this year, with competent officers, even greater success than ever before is desired. The executive consists of President R. Noble, lst vice, I. Chowen, 2nd vice, J, Gandier; secretary, a Glean, Treasurer, A. Carter; Press. Reporter M. McLeod. Form representatives: Upper school, D. Match, A. Fraser; 3B,,- S. Livermore, B. Middleton;, 3A, D. Watts, R. Carter; 2, M. Ross, H. Johnston; 1, J. Cameron, R. Do- herty. ' All those who are interested in the school and its work, are cordially invited to attend the Literary meet- ings, and encourage the staff and students by this evidence' of their support. On October 31st, the first meeting • this time a Hallowe'en Party, was Held. It was an unqualified success. right from the ,spooky ent'rance'cer- emony do the last dance. After the .many costumes of which somewere weird, others com- ic, others beautiful, had been judged a fine progrannne was given. As first number, the "Sleep -Walk- ing Scene," from "Macbeth" was, presented, and' well received by, the audience. Those taking the var- ions parts were, Lady Macbeth, M. McLeod; her lady, -in -waiting, D. Mutch; the doctor, E. Rorke; Pro- logue, Frances Mossop. Several pleasing mouth organ selections were rendered by E. Reynolds and B. Do- herty. A pretty musical play "The Wedding of the Painted Dolls," fol- lowed, which, under Miss Lawson's direction, was put on by members of 3B, $A, second and first forms. Al- so Mr. Coombs, editor-in-chief, read tine school paper, p p r, which was more entertaining• and enjoyable than ever. After suitable refreshments had been served the school orchestra pro- vided music, while for an ]tour or so the pupils were allowed to dance. !The following are extracts from "Tho Broadcaster," which should be of interest to everyone, ' especially the editorial: "The editors of this paper wish to extends their bast wishes to all students, past and pres- ent of the C.C.I. To last year's students especially, - we offer all hopes for success in their new life outside our doors, which so reluctant- ly opened to their departure. Ob- stacles and disappointments, we know, will come in their way, but We doubt not, that they will win a goodly measure of success and add to the many distinctions won by former C.C.I. graduates, To the present students of the school, we wish,a, year full 'of hap- piness. and hard work. Doubtless some will ask how these two may be reconciled but it our contention that nothing brings more satisfaction and happiness than work well done. We • are prepared to admit that 'all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'. but we feel still more assured that 'all play and no work' will make Jack still snore dull, and much less useful to his community or school. So aur advice is, work hard, and play hard. Be an active member of your school, take part in everything When the basket ball is being tos- sed about in the gym, get into the game; when the school orchestra is rendering harmoniousstrains,step out on the dance floor and join iii the struggle. And when, in the class room, the teacher is .making music of less harmonious sort, be present inspirit, as well as in body, The 'happy boy or girl is the one who fills every warding moment with activity." Wle also' have budding poets, es- pecially one in second form who pro- duced' this cry of exultation: "We've passed our longe sought 'teileetone, We've had two nrionths of rest; .We've stood our June's anxieties' This lap 'we start with, zest. Thotgh we are still in lower school, We do not give a rap - We're loftier than those first-year We'rcbabones, the second lap!" ' 1VIany other splendid" contributions were also read but space does not permit' that they be printed. The next meeting will be "Com- mencement," Com- monceinent" "watch' for further ' not - 83.00I ices, and come to the Commence - "11.13 ment Exercises.

THE OFFICIAL COUNT .On another page of this issue will be found the official returns of the Ielection in South Huron, which gives Mr. W. G. Medd, Progressive candi- date and member of the Last legis- lature, a majority over Mr- G. H. Elliott, Conservative candidate, of 06 votes.. On election night Mr. Elliott was thought tobe elected and a number of his more 'enthusiastic supporters staged a bit of g celebration, and, although it was soon found that a mistake had been made in counting•. Bayfield vote twice, •,once as a mune icipality and once as No. 8, Stanley, there was still some doubt as to which candidate was elected. - Tho' figures given us last Thursday morn- ing, the .most aeoarate obtainable at the time, gave Mr. Medd' a major- ity of 23 but just before going to ' press we were assured that Mr. El- liott had a majority of 11, and one of itir. 1Vledd's supporters called this office on Saturday and gave figures giving. Mr. Medd a majority bf 54, so there seemed to be a good neater different sets of figures going about. 'However, the ones published this week are the' official figures handed out by the returning officer. The mistake ,regarding Bayfield was an excusable one, this being the first parliamentry election in over fifty years that Bayfield was not counted' as a separate municipality. But while Mr. Elliott has been• "counted out" he made an excellent run, having reduced his opponent's majority of 1628 in 1926 to 26. Mr. Elliott is papular amongst those who know hint best, as his majorities in the home communities show. Mr, Elliott, ' however, has entered an appeal for a recount, as it is runr- eused that there were some irreguls arities practised, Mr. Elliott said' before the election ' that were he• elected he "would not be a swelled head and if defeated he would not be n sorehead," and this morning he ,told The News -Record that did lee believe himself fairly defeated he would have nothing more to say than his thanks for the support given - 15 is not known yet when the recount It bo made,
