Merchants on the west side of Al- bert street claim: the weatherman is favouring the other 'side., Every time the wind blows, and.. it blows often, snow piles uta on their side and they don't think it fair that they should' have to do all the shovelling. The two snowstorms of the past week have made it hard going for those who have to be on the streets before eight o'clock in the morning. The suggestion has been made. that those in charge of snowploughs should be on the job earlier so as to have all sidewalks • clear before the kiddies leave for school.

Cement abuttments and new joists, were. necessary to make the building firm and substantial, and the interior has been entirely cede-- orated. All the work has been done by local workmen assisted by the local officers, Captain McDowell and Lieu- tenant Titcombe, who have worked along steadily with those who have been doing the work. The building is now in good con- dition and well equipped with the exception of the lighting system. At the present time the old-fashioned lights suspended from a cord are in use. The cost would be only about $15 to put in a `modernized system; but unfortunately the i:unds avail- able have all been used up in the work which Inas already been done.

Such an event of course could not be observed with- out the serving of haggis. The serv- ing of this tasty dish was observed with all the ceremony due the ancient custom. The haggis was carried in by Lions Oakes and Ball, followed by Piper Fred Mutch and Drummer Bobby Morgan, who twice circled the festive board. The oration was given by Mr. Weir of Goderich: Anyone listening to him would have no doubt as to his ancestors, his rich Scotch burr and dramatic - talent being ef- fectively used in the ceremonies. ,At the conclusion of the banquet Period Dr. P. G. Thompson was in- itiated into Lionism, Lion Frank Pen- nebaker administering the obligation and Lion M. Counter pinning on the badge. Then the gathering enjoyed a musical programme. D. C. McNeill contributed Scottish solo numbers and pipe :and drum numbers were given by Piper Mutch and Bobby Morgan. Then followed the receiving of greetings from the Exeter Lions Club presented by Lion Ill. Southgate of Exeter. Lion Dr. McIntyre, toastmaster called on Dr. Shaw to propose the toast. Rev. A. Lane was guest speaker for the evening and touched' on the variety of style exhibited in Burns' poems in all of which the soul of the man was expressed. He readextracts from several of the poems from the pen of ;the writer whose memory the club was honoring. Dr. Shaw contributed an interesting item to the meeting when he rose to say that when on a visit to Scot- land he had been given the lines of a poem written by Buns which had never been published in any book of his poems, and ho asked that Mr. Weir might recite it. The poem ex- pressed the poet's distaste of treat- ment accorded him on an occasion when he had been asked to entertain air a banquet among the so-called nobility and had not been accorded the courtesy of being asked to sit with them at table but Was given a table by himself in another room like ,a common servant.
