Is Dropped
The Spinning Mill By -Law which
was„passe.d by the council and adver-
tised, iii the last issue of The Advance
has been withdrawn by the mutual
consent of tile town Cotincil and Mr.
Idattliewmran, While erthusiastic
about the/passing of this By -Law, the
council felt that Mr. Matthewman
was, holding back facts regarding the
purchase which the citizens of Wing-
• harnesliould know before voting on a
bylaw gu'aranteeing him $25,000.
After due consideration and the send-
ing of Mayor Willis and town solici-
tor I-lohnes to Toronto, it was deein.ed
advisable to withdraw the bylaw.
The council do not wish to think
, tbat Mr. Matliewman was anythhia
but honorable but we wouldu'tlike
-
to say that they were very much in
presse,c1 with -some of the men with
whom' he has unfortimately had busi-
ness dealings since coming- to On-
tario. - •

Friday morning- about 9.30. Mr. Rob-
inson had gone to work leaving Mr,
Robinson, who was sick in bed. Her
oeighbor Miss Anderson noticed the
smoke and got Mrs. Robinson out,
Willing hands carried out most of the
furniture and after hard work the fire-
men got control.
A mistake was made in • announc
ing to the fireinen where the fire was
and they were sent to Mr. Alex Rob-
inson's on. Patrickastreet. Chief Cran-
dell and Fireman Jobb state that when
they did get to the eight place the hy
drant at the corner of Victoria and
Catherine St., was frozen, ' Probably
it is hard to keep 'hydrants from freez-
ing but we belive if they do freeze
that our town would have been' in a
pretty plight' if a lire would have been
raging during the gale the first of this
week,
Atiother improvement, which could
be made would be In the hauling of.

School Nurse Resigns •
Many will regret to learn that Miss
Robb who has been the effi'clent
school nurse in this district for thc
past year has handed in her resigna-
tion. This resignation is, no doubt,
brought on by a marked indifference
on the part of parents and some rur-
al trustees
The old belief that "What was good
enongh for us older people is good
enough for our children" is entirely
wrong and many of Us would have
been the better men and Women if
sehool nurses had been invented soon -
et. 'Many a life was ruinedbecause no
one cared if the boy or girl ever liad
a clean face or if their teeth were
lean. A child with weak eyes sitting
in the back of the room could not be
expected to stand as high in his class
as one who could see every letter on
the board. They used to be just
putedowe as slow and dull and their
nYes did not have to be tested, An-
other thild cotild sit in school with
