NEWS OF WEEK IN KIPPEN DISTRICT A clever pair, posing as antique buyers. were operating in the Kip - pen vicinity last week, when Mrs. Lydia Doig, of the second conces- sion. of Tuckersmith, was victimiz- ed in a clever manner, It, is reported thht a lady enter- ed Mrs. Do'g's home pretending to be in search of antiques and rare pieces of china, and Mrs. Doig very eourtesly,,entertained 'her, taking liars 'from room 't0 room, displaying her wares, so to speak. After hav- ing purchased a few articles of value, she paid Mrs. Doig, so that she might know where Mrs. Doig kept her money. At this stage the lady called her male partner, who was reposing comfortably in a luxurious ear out_ side. While the lady was pretend- ing to be in quest of antiques, the male member was apparently per- forming his end of the game. It was not until after they had. de- parted that Mrs. 'Doig missed her handbag, containing a sum of money and a gold wrist watch, a I gift from her son, John. Police are now working on the case, but it is doubtful if the pair can be located, and whether or not the guilty parties can be brought to dustice remains to be seen. Mrs. Whitcombe and family, of Ingersoll; are spending a week in Kippen in the late Mr. Moore's residence. Lorne McBride, of Windsor, is spending his holidays with his. parents, Mr. and Mrs Robert Mc- Bride. i, Jarrott Bros. are at present er- ecting a new modern milk house on their main farm, which will ' be equipped with a new electric cool- ing unit.

Subscribers in- stead of receiving a paper of 56 columns each week, will find at least 64 columns in each copy. The change was made pos. sible by increasing the over- all size of each page and at the 'same time adjusting the width of individual columns. to a standard 12 -em measure. As a result, the increasiiag number of advertisers, Siitio recognize the value of The Expositor as a .medium for their advertisements, can be accommodated without semi - the news -content . of • the paper, and-: at. the-fsame time additional features, can be carried. A more effective arrangement of ' advertise- ments can also be arrived at. Despite the increased value represented in the larger sized issue, it is not intend- ed to increase the subscrip- tion price of $2.80 per year. ELIMVILLE W.

Mayor M. A. Reid presided and all members of council, except Councillor B. . F. Christie, were present. Auxious to lay out the -sub-divi- sion in a manner which would pro- vide the most lots, but at the same time lend itself to an econ- omical arrangement for services, led council to postpone a definite. decision until a survey of the area had been completed. The Public Utility 'Commission was requested to provide tentative estimates on necessary water main extensions. As the area is now laid'out, two streets extend from Goderich to Market Street, one on each side of the Shell Service Station. It was suggested by rearranging the lots and streets, access to property owned by Dr, E. A. McMaster and adjacent to' the town -owned prop- erty, could be gained, Dr. McMas- ter told council he was prepared to provide necessary land for a street allowance. If the street went straight through at this point it would be necessary to acquire an allowance from the Geo. Ferguson property. If this was not possible, the street could be curved to enter Goderich Street, east of the Shell Station. It was suggested the Shell Station might be moved to a point further west. Council was informed no further information had been received from Central Mortgage and Finance regarding a building program. It was agreed the organization should be pressed for a definite decision. No action was taken on an an- onymous letter addressed to May- or Reid complaining of payment for hospitalization of a former- resi- dent, since deceased. Approval was given an application for a building permit from J. Boshart & Sons covering improvements to premises occupied by Thos. Pry -de. Treasurer D. H. Wilson told council that $4,000 had been pre- paid on taxes and that tax arrears stood at $5,001, the lowest amount in many years. During the preced- ing month dog taxes, amounting to $228, were collected. Council granted a pedlar's lic- ense to Roger J. Bedard, Zurich, limiting it to the sale of fresh fish in Seaforth. Councillor E. H. Close expressed doubt as to the neces- sity of -the license and pointed out a license to peddle bread had been refused an outside firm. It was ex- plained no local concern handled fresh fish. The Clerk is to reply to an inquiry from Goderich con- cerning the recently amended ped- ler's by-law. Reeve Frank Sills told council considerable , work was necessary t the C.N.R.scales.H Threshing operations were brought to a halt in the Staffa and Cromarty neighborhoods Wednes- day' after a long run of ideal liar - vest weather.

Installation of necessary. equip- ment to provide. two-way radio communication between provincial police patrol cars and headquarter stations at Mount' Forest, Goderich and Stratford, is almost` compiet- ed.

Work on'the build- ing of a reservoir and the laying of mains is to begin this month, and it is hoped that the new sys- tem, which will give Brussels a public water service for the first time, will be completed in 1948. The contract. for the laying of 25,720 feet of mains was let to E. K. Booth, Toronto, at a tender price of $32,258. The contract for ' construction of a reservoir and pump house went to Duncan Mc- • Dougall, Wingham, at a price of a re . a recon - mended temporary repairs of wood $15,000, A debenture issue of $25,000, in - because of the s�h'ortage of cement, tended to finance the work on the and also since it is possible Jarvis water system, has been sold to the Street may be opened south across bond house of J.
