Wearring. , The nomination -for three public school trustees Monday aught failed to attract a very large crowd, owing to business places being open, curling at the rink and meeting in the\chur- ch. But with so much criticism of the board and teachers by some of • the people of the village you would na- turally expect they would come out to a public meeting and express them- selves but none of there appeared. Mr. T. W. Henry, secretary of the Board gave a statement of low the grants .were arrived at. Inspector's report and report from Department of Education, all showing an excellent state of efficiency in the teaching staff management of the school and the cost per pupil was at this school below the average. He also showed how those who are continually knock- ing the school help to keep the cost per pupil up as the grants to the Con- tinuation School are based on the at- tendance of county pupils and gave an example of a parent who intended sending his boy to this school, but af- ter hearing such poor reports of the school from a party in the village de- cided to send hint elsewhere thereby loosing that much on the grant. But as usual the ones that don't help pay the taxes do the most knocking. Had they come ais,d heard the Secretary's Report, unless they were prejudiced must have been convinced that there was nothing much the matter with the school. - • The' Trustees elected by acclamation to fill the vacancies were, Bert Mar- tin, George Paulin and Nelson Lout- itt. Mr. Henry refused to run again and Mr. Durst was away frons home, Wroxeter, Dec. 18, x925 Council met in regular: meeting in. Council Chamber on above date, Members all present except Alex.

Chiming sweet when the night wind swells, - Blest is the sound of the Christmas Bells ! Dear are the sounds of the Christmas In the land of the ivied towers, And they welcome the dearest of fes- tival tines In this Western World of' ours! Bright on the 'holly and mistletoe bough The English firelight falls, And bright are the wreathed ever- greens now That gladden our own hone walls! And hark! the first sweet note that tells, The welcome of Christmas Bells! The owl that sits in the ivy's shade, Remote from the ruined tower, Shall start from his drowsy watch afraid When the clock shall strike'the .hour; - a And over the fields in their frosty 'rhyme The cheery sounds shall go, And .chime shall answer unto chime Across the moonlit snow How sweet the lingering music dwells The music of the Christmas Bells.
