The advent of these young men will no doubt do much to liven up the council proceedings and their young ideas should be worth listen- ing to. Messrs. Cook, Livermore and Walk- er are old war horses, men who have borne the burden and heat of the days Lhat are pant and having served well have been re-elected by the citizens to continue their work. Mr. Coale headed: the park and by- laws committees last year and was 'al- so a member of the'cour't of revision. Ile gave his best attention to the work of these committees, and, •In- deed, to the entire work of the coun- cil. M:r. Livermore was chairman of the property committee and was also a member of the court, of revision. He is -a conscientious public servant, is seldom- absent from the meetings and owing to the fact that his illness ,pre vented him taking much part in the campaign, his return by so large a vote is gratifying. Mir. Walker headed the charity com- mittee and it is . doubtful if a better man could have been chosen for the position. He was actuated by chari- table motives and yet had so .con- scientious a regard for the public funds that he .could be counted on to 'waste no money. He also gave freely of his tune to administering the at - fairs of the committee. The town owes something to his faithfulness and the ,citizens seemed to realize that when they returned him by so goot a vote. Of the two defeated candidates' it need only be said that two men .had to be left, as only six are required. But they are both young men and another election may tell a different. tale altogether. Neither made a bad run for a start. M. Thomas Churchill won out in the contest for the Public Utilities Commission over Mr, Hawkins, who has beld the position since 1923. Mr, Churchill is a new man, and will bring some new ideas, perhaps, to the administdation of the affairs of the commission, which now consists of Messrs Churchill, W. E. Perdue and Mayor Holmes. ELECTIONS IN HURON Goderich Monday's voting in the municipal elections brought a grist of surprises for when the ballots had been team- ed only three of last year's town tcountal of nine members renrainoa and one of the three had been return- ed by acclamation. From. the time the first returns were received, it was apparent that the electors were out to do some housecleaning. 'Outstanding is the sweeping vic- tory of J. J. Moser aver Reeve B. G. aft -innings. Mr. Moser, a former de- puty reeve, won by 303 majority. Last year Reeve Miunnings defeated M'r. Moser by 46 votes. For council, W. J. Baker, a new- comer in civic politics, headed the poll, while ex -reeve J. W. Craigse and J, E. Fluckins, Ieader of the "solid five" majority group in the 1934 council ran a dead heat for se- cond place. Mi'. IIuckins is the Ione survivor of the six 1034 council men. Frank Bingham, also a newcomer, was fourth and ex -Councillor E. D. Brown, fifth and C. C. Lee, who step - pod down from the mayor's .chair to run for council, brought up the rear of successful -candidates.

Inaugurating branch banking in Canada, it was the first bank In the capital of Lower Canada, first in the capital of Upper Canada, and first of the present banks in Bytown,` afterwards Ottawa, the capital of. the Dominion, It was the first permanent bank to be established west of the Great Lakes and the first to achieve a transcontinental system of branches. It was also The first institution to provide Canada with a domestic currency, both bills and coinage, The first bank to assist in financing the foreign trade of Canada; The first banker for the Government of Canada, The first bank to help finance the improvement of the St. Lawrence Waterway, through the assistance it gave to the building of the first Lachine Canal. From its inception the Bank of Montreal has held the confidence of the Canadian people. Today that confidence is expressed in the fact that the Bank holds more than one million deposit accounts, equal to a deposit account for one in every ten persons in the entire Dominion. Canadians naturally expect, as the sequel to such a record, that this Bank will retain the spirit of the pioneer in co• operating with the future business life of the nation.

Featherston, who was driving past noticed the smoke com- ing out from under the eaves and went to her assistance but they were unable to save anything upstairs aa the two rooms on fire were just at the head of the stairs and smoke pre- vented them going further.
