Mrs. A. W. Gardiner inspired us with her talk' concerning the peace we must win after the war. It is every- one's responsibility to help win the peace. We must educate ourselves into a fuller and broader understand- ing of life and there are four spheres of influence, namely the Horne, the School, the Community, and the Church. • Mrs. Paul Doig read an article concerning the build- ing of the new world entitled, "Six Cheery Facts About the Future."

Minutes of last reg- ular meeting and court of revision were read and approved. Procedure bylaws of the town re- ceived their final revisions and were passed as Bylaw 441 to amend and consolidate these bylaws which have occupied much of council's time at recent meetings.' There was some dis- cussion of a proposed amendment re taking fire fighting equipment out of town. A letter was read from the Fire Underwriters giving their opin ion, Councillor Parke said no change should be made in the old bylaw, he thought Fgmondville should provide equipment of their own as Brucefield has done. Councillor Sills said that under the old bylaw chemical con- tainers could be taken to a fire out of town. Council decided to make no change in this section of the bylaw. Another point of discussion was allocation of certain receipts and ex- penditures to certain committees when striking the tax rate. A change was made in wording the bylaw to provide the finance committee with a detailed statement of estimates from each committee and board be- fore the tax rate is struck. Current taxes received to date is 534,441, Treasurer D. H. Wilson re- ported. This year's total tax roll will be down $1,800. On behalf of the Victory Loan committee Mr. H. G.

The Modern Dorcas I cannot proffer stricken homeless ones, Kind shelter from the winter storm,. But I can fashion sweaters, coats and frocks To keep them warm. I cannot guide the sore, uncertain feet To safety's fold, But I can knit the soft warm woollen socks To keep them from the cold. 0 Red Cross mother, take my humble gifts, These myriad stitches frons my busy hands, Transmute them into warmth and hope and cheer For war-torn lands. And bring new, light and life and love to me, A miracle surprise, From sloth and hatred and self-cent- red thoughts, Bid me arise. —By Ada Sitnpson Sherwood. The local prisoner of war liaison officer, Miss Holmes, has received a letter from the commissioner of the Ontario division of the Red Cross to the effect that while the sending of Christmas cards to prisoners of war has not been prohibited, it is felt that with the difficulty which might be occasioned in getting a large number of Christmas cards into the camps, it would be very much better to advise all friends to write a short letter in- cluding the Christmas wishes to the prisoners. Picture postcards or pic- torial matter of any kind must not be sent.
