Just as the timekeeper's warning' sounded another goal was' scored but it was not allowed. The Winthrop team declared that in the first goal D. Sills was offside, but the referee, Emmet Malone,of St. Columban, did not uphold their stand -and allowed the game -to continue.

Hibbert Native is Host to $eIatives and Friends here COMMENCE JULY 2 Seaforth citizens will pay taxes at the same rate as in 1937, members of the town council decided on Monday evening as the rate was set at 43 milia. While the rate was not re- duced, the council has financed its work in such a way that it will be enabled to nearly complete the Main Street sidewalk's out of „current rev- enue, rather than issue debentures. A resolution from Kitchener city council suggesting changes in the assessment act to provide for the levying of a head tax on all citizens between the ages of 21 and 60, not now appearing on the assessment 1.011 and earning more than $100 per year, met with little favor frorn the council and was ordered filed. The resolution appeared to be directed mainly at young single women earn- ing good wages, but not contributing anything for municipal services which they erOoy. Single men now contri- bute through the poll tax. "We might approve it in theory, but 'how are you going to prove the individual has earned $100?” asked Councillor Sills. "How are you going to collect it?" "The idea is to make these people bear part of the burden, but whether it would be workable or not is an- other matter," commented Mayor J. J. Cliff.
