COUNCIL IN SESSION DISCUSS RELIEF PROBLEM. WILL AID IN ANNUAL CHRISTMAS TREE The regular meeting of council was held in the council chambers on Monday evening, Mayor W. S. R. Holmes presiding. The following members were present: Reeve Liver- more, Councillors Walker, Nediger, Paisley and Cook. Following the reading of the min- utes of the previous Meeting, com- munications were read and discussed. The first communication was from the Clinton Bicycle and Motor Sales re- questing permission to erect a rifle range. Permission was granted with the stipulation that the range is to be trade perfectly safe. The next request was from. Wil- liam's Bakery asking for replacement of plate glass window broken some time ago by a stone said to have been thrown by a passing car. On motion of Messrs. Cook and Paisley the let- ter was filed, Mr. Williams was present at the meeting and requested to knowwhy the letter should be filed. A somewhat stormy debate fol- lowed in which all members entered freely. It was brought out that the streets were in good shape and that the claim was not on the town, but on the motorist. Mr. Williams felt that the claim was on the town, and pointedout the menace to those walk - frig on the street who were endanger- ed by stones thrown from the wheels of passing automobiles. While he would not swear that the stone was thrown by a passingcar, there was no doubt in his mind that such was the case,, and his parting remarks were that he would obtain a definite ruling from the court as to who was to blame in this respect. The members then settled dawn to • routine business. Bylaw No. 11 re- garding nominations, appointment of poll clerks; and officers was introduc- ed and read, and passed on motion of Paisley and Livermore Councillor Nediger reporting for the special committee stated that he had contacted a party for the Christ- mas tree and that it would be here at the end of the week. Walker -Cook— This council will furnish the tree and ask Public Utilities •Commission to light same. Carried. Livermore—Paisley This council will cooperate with the Lions Club in furnishing Christmas baskets up to the sum of $15. Carried. The relief problem next came •up for consideration and was introduced when Reeve Livermore asked about issuing meal tickets to transients. A general discussion followed which brought out some amusing stories in line with the subject. Mr. Walker stated ane instance in which a man came to his home asking for a meal. He definitely stated that he wanted meat andpotatoes, but when none were forthcoming, left in a huff. An, other chap called twice in; three' weeks at Glen Cook's. The first time he was so hungry that he cleaned up all the potatoes which had been prepar- ed for the next day's business; The next time he called he resorted to glasses as a disguise, but was recog- nized. It was brought out that relief of this kind was being Overdone, and since the government is trying to stamp out this kind of thing, pan- handlers should be discouraged. While it is a hard thing to, turn away a hungry man, work is being provided for able-bodied men in the north, and as much as possible relief should be discouraged. As a fitting climax to the meeting, Mayor Holmes spoke briefly of the pleasant associations of the past year and stated that financially the town was getting along fine.

Addison, formerly Miss Esther Trewartha, of Clinton, laughed, "No we didn't scream. If you've ever been in a bank robbery, you know that one just doesn't scream" she answered. "We were too worried about our hus- bands. We knew that Mr, Graham couldn't possibly open the vault of that bank because there was a time lock on it, and it was set for 9 o'clock ' neat manning: We were afraid the robbers wouldn't believe Mr. Graham when he said he couldn't open the p vault, and we didn't know what they would do to him to make him talk," Mrs. Addison added that she believ- ed the two were amateurs.
