Neelin, ithe ip_ur- ees who left bete recently for service In the overseas military hospitals, fen the gifts tendered them by the zitizens of Seaforth, on the, eve of their- de-. parture. Miss Best Writing frorhitTo- ronto, says: Will you please convey to the citizens of Seaforth my deep ap- preciatien, not only for the lovely gift but also the kindly feeling which prompted them to remember me so generously. It is very pleasant for me to know, that, as I leave for the front, where I hope to do something towards making our boys more comfortable, that the good wishes of my home people; are with me. But it is very hard for me to express on paper my really deep appreciation. I would like everyone to know, however, that we, as a body of nurses, do not consider that 'we are making any sacrifice in going, but feel it to be a great privilege to, be allowed to be of service to the ,soldiers, who are malting such tremendous ;sacrifices to defend our country. -Miss Edith Neelin writes from the Chateau Laurier, Ottawa, and says: Words cannot express my appreciation of the kind thoughts that prompted etou to give me such a royal send off and in fulfilling the ardous tasks which will come in the daily coutse of events, it will be a source ore great comfort to know that the citizens of ,the dear old home town are thinking of me and praying that the protection of the Al- mighty will be granted to me in what- ever danger I may be called upon to encounter. I should like to congratulate the Citizens' Band on their fine ap- pearance and our town should be justly proud of this organization. The music they played on this occasion was well rendered and appropriate and the hymn, "God Be With Thee 'Till We .Meet A- gain" wee like a solemn benediction.

Many of our most worthy citizens and in fact eorne of our prominent town officials have been in the habit .of wheeling on the sidevralks when the roadways were un• fit for such purpose- and have not been molested in so doing, although our maintainer of law and order must have been aware of their illegal acts. In fact the practice badebecome so COM • moo that many of our citizens were not eadare that a law against this practice existed. Under such circumstances it •Would appear that even before- taking extreme measure against any of our town -folk it would have been an act of wisdom .and justice to have the local 'g efficiency of some of our old-time papers warn the citizens of there be - bands when they were under military lea penalty 'attached which would auspices. • be enforced in case they persisted. n - stead "of issuing any such warning:he ibad two of our Hi.gh School pupi4 from the country who were not aware of the 'possibility of their being fined Or eo- doing, summoned to appear before magistrate Holmstead, where each was convicted and compelled 'to pay $4,75. Under such circumstances I think our 'chief constable should explain why these two youths have been selected to be disgraced and convicted as law breakers and have had to pay into the coffees" of the town and its officiate so much of 'their meagre educational allosvances.-A Citizen of Seaforth. Jones TS. Tuckersmitie-This is a case which has ereated a good deal of in- terest in this vicinity. It was heard before the Court of Appeal in Xoronto, some weeks ago.

T e -by-law is open to the objec- tion that the Council had no authority to sell the Attie of the vied without first offering it to the abutting own- ers at a price fixed by the Council, and that it is only in the 'event of , the abutting owners declining to pur- chase that authority is given to pen to anyone else, and then authority is .giv- en to sell at that price or a greater one: 'Section 2 of the by-law should Jie quashed and the conveyance t� the ap- pellant, Kruse, should be set aside and the registration of it vacated, ,and the action and the rnotion, as far as sec- tion f of the by-law Le concerned, should be dismissed. As success is tdi- vided, there should be no costs through- out to either party. The eomplete Judgement will be given next week. Have You Amy Pictures To Be Framed?
