A WORTHY CASE 'Strange cases brought to light ev- serY once in a while show how the other half of the world lives.... Over in Simcoe county the Mothers' Allow - ranee Board was asked •to grant an• al- lowance to a 28 -year-old eldest sister -who is trying to keep together a amily of 16 children; with both par- •ents having passed away, The chil- dren range in age from four to 28 years. The Board, after due consid- ,eration, felt that six of the older chil- ,clren could earns their ottnn. living, but :approved a mother's allowance for line oldest girl and the 10 younger children... , The girl would seem to be one of- the countnry's "unsung' her - roes" if she sacrifices her own career to bring up a family of 15 btethers :and sisters.., .

Cook who thought that now'that $53,000 had been paid off in debentures, some reduction would be possible. This matter is to to be taken up in the commission in the near future. A point worthy of consideration was brought up by Mr. Rumball who stated that no provision has been made for depreciation of the system. The plant is supposed to be worth '484.000, allowing nothing for depre- ciation. He advocated the setting up of a reserve fund to take care of un - looked. for emergencies. Suitable votes of thanks were ten- dered the mayor by Rev. McGoon on behalf of the council, and by Mr. H. E. Rorke on behalf of the press, to which his worship replied fittingly and pointedly. His closing -remarks were there is nothing hidden which shall not be revealed, The council of 1938 is open and above board and nothing is concealed. HOT DOGS This story is from the Orangeville Banner: N t t In a church not far frim here the men of the congregation were enter- taining the .ladies at a banquet. The hour' of the banquet had arrived and the ladies were all in their places, when the outer door opened, and in marched the men dressed as chefs, each carrying in, his hand a huge but- cher knife and each one dragging on a leash the mangiest dog he had been able to find in the neighborhood. In , solemn procession they filed back to the church kitchen and closed the (loon•. Immediately there arose a mournful wailing and furious bark- ing. They kept up for about five min- utes, while the ladies waited with white faces and glassy eyes. Then the door opened and again the chef.: filed out, each bearing aloft a huge platter of hot dogs! There is no re- cord as to how the women enjoyed the supper. TREE PLANTING ON ESTATES With driveway trees, points out the Departinent of Agriculture at Ot- tawa, close planting shouldbe avoid- ed, at least 40 feet being allowed be- tween varieties such as the maple, and 50 feet between elms. At these distances such trees make a beautiful street, and when they mature do not overshado lawns, shrubs, or flower beds. It is absolutely' essential that pro- tection be provided. The young tree 'is an irr•estible temptation to the small boy, while caps, animals, and even lawn -mowers are liable to cause damage. Staking is necessary and the Protection should include at. boxing of iron, wood or wire. Watering of newly planted trees in dry weaker is pa}rticularly important, suite ill with not much improvement BRU'CEFr IELD Rev. John. Richardson of Arkona will conduct Divine Services and: teach the Adult Bible class in the United Chinch next Sunday. There will be a special offering by envel- ope for the Chinese famine fund.

The two teams that may be of in- terest to Clinton fans still in the run ning are the Elora Rocks and Chat- ham Queens. Elora is still very much in the running, having won their group, and since then having drubbed Bolton in the first 'game of the play -downs. 9 to 0. Clinton eliminated both• these teams from the running' last year, finally losing out by the narrowest of mar- gins to Thorold, who in turn lost out in the next round to Belleville for championship. There has been some talk of trying for an exhibition, game with Tavistock but so far nothing definite has de- veloped. A return match between these two closely -matched teams might create quite a bit of interest as most local fans would still enjoy one more good hockey match. The Brucefield Fire Department held their annual meeting in the I. 0.0.F. ball on March 3rd. A full report of the year's work was given and a;lproved by all pre- sent. The engineers reported the out-. fit in good condition and the inspec- tion each week will be continued throughout the following year.

The officers meet on the second Monday of each month and the public is invited to attend and take part in the meeting. Tavistock. Greenshirts Lose To :Chatham In beating the -Clinton Colts on Wednesday night of last week in the deciding game of the group fin- als Tavistock won their first group championship. Little wonder that the players and fans from that dis- trict were so jubilant over the vic- tory.

The young cow is called a calf,- and is used in the manufacture of chicken salad. The cow's tail isv mounted aft, and has a universal joint.

Persons who milk cows and conte in contact with the tassel, have vocabularies of peculiar and impressive farce. The cow has two stomachs. The one on the ground floor is used as a warehouse and has no. other function. Whon, this is filled, the cow retires le a quiet mace where her i11 man- ners will occasion no comment and devotes herself to belching. The raw material is thus conveyed for a se- cond time to the interior of her face,. pulverized and delivered to the auxil- iary stomach, where it is converted ,into cow. The cow has no upper plate) All of her teeth are paired. in the lower part of her face. This arrangement was perfected :by an efficiency ex- pert to keep her from gumming, things up. As a result, she bites tip and gums down. A slice of cow is worth 5 cents in the cow, 1,4 cents in the hands of the packer and $2.40 in a restaurant that specializes in atmosphere.

LITTLE BANKERS: AND BIG BANKS (A true story) Bunny's father gets his pay cheque twice monthly, and Bunny's mother deposits it in one of the branches of The Royal Bank. Along with his mother trots four-year-old Bunny with a little iron bank tucked under his arm, into which he carefully put his savings. 'While his mother ie waiting for her book the bank manager lifts Bunny on to the counter, opens bis bank, and counts his money, and then enters the amount in Bunny's savings bank book. To Bunny these semi-monthly visits are but pleasant interludes in the active, days of childhood; but to his father they have deep significance, for he sees, in the light of his - own mature experience, the cultivation of a habit of thrift that will prove of great value to the boy as theyearsgo oa.

Cook who thought that now'that $53,000 had been paid off in debentures, some reduction would be possible. This matter is to to be taken up in the commission in the near future. A point worthy of consideration was brought up by Mr. Rumball who stated that no provision has been made for depreciation of the system. The plant is supposed to be worth '484.000, allowing nothing for depre- ciation. He advocated the setting up of a reserve fund to take care of un - looked. for emergencies. Suitable votes of thanks were ten- dered the mayor by Rev. McGoon on behalf of the council, and by Mr. H. E. Rorke on behalf of the press, to which his worship replied fittingly and pointedly. His closing -remarks were there is nothing hidden which shall not be revealed, The council of 1938 is open and above board and nothing is concealed. HOT DOGS This story is from the Orangeville Banner: N t t In a church not far frim here the men of the congregation were enter- taining the .ladies at a banquet. The hour' of the banquet had arrived and the ladies were all in their places, when the outer door opened, and in marched the men dressed as chefs, each carrying in, his hand a huge but- cher knife and each one dragging on a leash the mangiest dog he had been able to find in the neighborhood. In , solemn procession they filed back to the church kitchen and closed the (loon•. Immediately there arose a mournful wailing and furious bark- ing. They kept up for about five min- utes, while the ladies waited with white faces and glassy eyes. Then the door opened and again the chef.: filed out, each bearing aloft a huge platter of hot dogs! There is no re- cord as to how the women enjoyed the supper. TREE PLANTING ON ESTATES With driveway trees, points out the Departinent of Agriculture at Ot- tawa, close planting shouldbe avoid- ed, at least 40 feet being allowed be- tween varieties such as the maple, and 50 feet between elms. At these distances such trees make a beautiful street, and when they mature do not overshado lawns, shrubs, or flower beds. It is absolutely' essential that pro- tection be provided. The young tree 'is an irr•estible temptation to the small boy, while caps, animals, and even lawn -mowers are liable to cause damage. Staking is necessary and the Protection should include at. boxing of iron, wood or wire. Watering of newly planted trees in dry weaker is pa}rticularly important, suite ill with not much improvement BRU'CEFr IELD Rev. John.

The two teams that may be of in- terest to Clinton fans still in the run ning are the Elora Rocks and Chat- ham Queens. Elora is still very much in the running, having won their group, and since then having drubbed Bolton in the first 'game of the play -downs. 9 to 0. Clinton eliminated both• these teams from the running' last year, finally losing out by the narrowest of mar- gins to Thorold, who in turn lost out in the next round to Belleville for championship. There has been some talk of trying for an exhibition, game with Tavistock but so far nothing definite has de- veloped. A return match between these two closely -matched teams might create quite a bit of interest as most local fans would still enjoy one more good hockey match.
