Just a soug at twilight, when the
lights are lov,
And the flick'llug shadows softly
come and go,
Tho' the heart be weary, sad tine day
and long,
Still to us at twilight comes Love's
old song,
Comes Love's old sweet song.
Even today we hear Love's song of
yore,.

Deep in our hearts it dwells for ever
more,
Footsteps may falter, and. weary
grow the Way,
Still we can hear it at the close of
day.
So to the end, when life's dim
shadows fall,
-Love: will be found the sweetest song
of all.

Three transients from Toronto, the
youngest 17 years of age, were ar-
rested
rested .in Seaforth on a vagrancy
charge on Tuesday morning follow-
ing an alleged attempt to rob the
slot machine in the Star Cafe. The
men entered the cafe about 11 a.m.
and ordered a meal and while the
proprietor, Tom Chong was busy
preparing it, one stood at the kitchen
door watching him while the .other
two were at the slot machine.
When Chong noticed a couple of
small 'holes had been drilled in the
machine themen left hurriedly, and
made for the highway corner. Two
of them were immediately arrested
by Constable Currie, who then went
back in a truck driven by Norman
Knight, to look for the third, They
spotted their pian thumbing for a
tide a block east of Main St. and he
gladly accepted a lift.
"This isn't the way to. Stratford,"
he said as the car turned a corner.
"No," he was told, "It is the way
to the pollee station," The men were
taken to Gederich jail on Wednesday
and will appeal' In court here next
Tuesday. -
It is understood two of the men'
admit having robbed the slot mach
ire in the Star Cafe" here last fall.
They had a gimlet, small screw
driver and a piece of wire which one
of the men threw down outside the
cafe and tramped'into the Snow as
they left, and were found by Albert

tl. About 500 Poet of new hose

The subject of gas masks was die•
cussed. Refrigeration of Ft type not
commonly used was believed to have
been the cause of the lire brigade's
difficulty with gas fumes during a re
cent fire. Masks that protect firemen
from gas fumes were not always of
fective against ordinary smoke, the
council was told, Most masks that
were useful in both smoke and gas
were too heavy and awkward, Some
firemen prefer to work into a fire
without the hindrance of any kind of
mash. The local brigade ]las masks
of the common type equipped with a
wet sponge at the end of a breather
tube for removing smoke, which is
effective many minutes until the
sponge dries out. It was stated that
in the maze of rules and regulations
of the underwriters there is nothing
about masks. The local brigade in-
