The musical numbers in chided violin selections by Arthur 'Golding; vocal selections by Hugh (Oke; guitar numbers by a group of the girls. The' topic of the evening, "Scotland's Greatest Son—iRobert ;Burns," was 'ably taken by Mr. Sam Stott, president of the Northside group. Mr. 'Scott recited various .poems of Burns to illustrate the char- acteristics o'f the greatplowman and ,philosopher.

L. :Box), Each New Year brings about New Business, and it is to be hoped that the business gets away on the "right foot,' This year Seaforth has a New, or rather a Council of more or less ex- perience, a1111 by the end of 111934, we concede that some good work will have been accomplished, and pos- sibly soave that an apology might be in order for; however, with the .Div- ine aid on the, undertakings being sought, one 'would expect their best would .be given. Our Mayor, and 'Council, opening ode, is "seeking new officials." If it is true that the Clerk and Treasurer has"nothing to fear about his posi- tion, it is quite 'possible that all other officials have been assured of their respective positions; then why adver- tise, for all, or any. It .is to be hoped that 'App'lica'nts for various offices are aware they are merely making ap- plication for position, and that they are not tendering, or to think by a low price they will get the position. The results of the applications will give us more information. Mayor 'Sutherland suggests a com- mittee to interview Mfr. Cardoo about the starting of the clock. A good sug- gestion but 'who was a party to the stopping of it, and why a change of opinion, About two years ago, following the Broderick iBlack fire it was thought advisable to enlarge on the police duties of night watchman by adding from four a.m, to six a.m, to his hours a'nd making a day and night man, This certainly was a good move, and our fire losses have proved the fact. We might expect increased in- surance rates without a night watch- man. We have yet to record a bur- glary of any importance. Day police is necessary to protect poultry licenses, along with the for- ty other offices Ryan might 'hold, or be detailed to do. IIs is quite possible that if Crozier had reported the loss of his riding plow to Chief Ryan, it would have been found as ,readily as Councillor L. Aberhart's lights, by Chief Ryan. Absence of clerk, might answer for the names of those on various boards; if not, the clerk should be prepared to give the information, ,He has been prepared in past years. Motion. of Broderick and Bolton. for itemized accounts of expenditures of P. U. C., schools, etc. is quite cor- rect, but do not overlook the Fifteen Dollars each the .Auditors get (paid by the P:U.C.) and actually set by the Council, for the work they 'have. been doing. It might be a little more courteous to ask for itemized state- ment of P.U.C., when it has failed to conte by Jan,, 10 of each year, (the date set by statute) than to be a lit- tle previous. This itemized statement in past years has never been pre- pared, but to save expense of audit- ing, and printing of booklet (excessive expense for benefit derived) it has been passed up. A condensed Aud- itors' statement has ahvays appeared in the local papers, a'n'd farther in- formation could always be had from the various secretaries, in fact, an in- spection of books at all reasonable hours. Auditors have to Mar. 1st to complete their stateinent. Where did tiie Mayor of 10133 have the Auditors' abstract printed and distributed? Try and find one. To our knowledge !Hays and Meir is not the solicitor for A -von Chests Ltd. For your information the solici- tor of Avon Chests is the solicitor of the Credit Men's Trust ,Association, Trustees of Avon 'Chests, Ltd., in Bankruptcy. Avon Chests, Ltd., paid ordinary claims, and ;Hydro with 'preferred claim did not. get paid. Quite Correct, The 'M'ayor asks "Whose fault is that ? The Mayor has tried to attach the blame On 19312 P. U. Commission, or their Secy.-Treas. Messrs. Hays` Sr Meir exonerated either the Com- mission or Sec,-Treas. from any blame, After the claim was filed in proper order, which it teas, any responsibil- ity ceased on any other but the Cred- it Men's Trust Association, Trustee in Bankruptcy.

When .Santa Claus w'as real; f wonder if you ever guessed The thrill we used to feel. When swirling s'no'w had shut us in And biting winds were drear; Inside was always bright acid warns, We never felt a fear. Those stormy nights you'd tell us tales Of how the gray wolve€ howl; And one about the grizzly bear, And 'Boy! how you could Growl; And best of all, the big Wild Cat; You almost killed by hand; You were our hero in those days, And you could snarl just grand. And then you'd read the weekly news, And have your 'little smoke; It matter'd not how tired you were, You still could crack a joke. Around the old piano how We used to dance and sing; You'd stop your reading anytime, To watch the highland fling. But now we're scattered far and wide; 'Tis Christmas time once more; And so my thots keep turning back, To childhood days of yore. Tho' times may change, and hearts may break; To us, you still are true, Dad; Through Life and through Eternity; We always count on -Dad! 5, S. S. Shelton, Washington. ed: H, Stewart, J. Kerr, H. C.
