Hensall's 50 -mill tax rate might go up two mills for 1951, James A. Paterson, clerk, stated. The high school rate has been slashed by more than half, according to re- quesition received, and the water- works rate of 5% mills will prob- ably be down one mill, due to an increased number of consumers. But the public school rate is ex- pected to rise two mills, and the village rate of 12.1 mills will prob- ably go up, Mr. Paterson said. One mill raises about $550. Village plans call for laying of a new street and possibly a sidewalk repairing pro- gram. The rate for Exeter District High School has been cut from 4% to two mills.

Deachman) A. business man walking down a street in Toronto, stopped to do a bit of window peeping. It was a big store, a ell and favorably known to every person living in the city. In one. window was a display of men's clothes labelled "Harris Tweeds." He raised his eyebrows, moved on a step Or two, entered the store, and went straight up to the presi- dent of the firm. He knew him well. •'1 have a criticism to make," he said. "There's a window down- stairs titled with a display of men's clothing labelled 'Harris Tweeds.' It's a nice show, but they are not Harris tweeds. I was born in Har- ris where the tweeds are made. I have helped to make them, and knowing you I dropped in to tell you that someone has made a mis- take." The Big Man raised the tele- phone: "Take the Harris Tweeds out of the window," he said. quiet- ly; "select some other item for dis- play; will call you later." The guest rose to leave. The head of the store went with him; the Har- ris Tweeds were being moved out of the window. "If you ever see anything else of that kind in our store." he said, "let me know." It's not hard to do right if you are al- ways sure when you are right. "Tell me' something," said his friend "just why do yott do this, you may lose money of these clothes." "To tell you the truth," he said, "it's a tradition big busi- ness is founded on integrity." Off the Road The big truck rolled along. There were two men in it. A car was in the ditch just ahead, and a woman was trying her best to get it out., • The truck stopped; the big man touched his hat and said, "Madam, could we help you with that job?" She would be glad if he would. it didn't take him long, He checked. the gas. It. wasn't there. He went Vela to the truck and brotf;;ht_h couple of gal- lons. He moved the car onto the road. The woman thanked him pro- fusely and offered him two dollars. "It.'s worth it," she said; "there were others who passed and didn't help, and besides you gave me the gasoline." "No, madam, 1 couldn't. take it. The president of this company is a bit of a lady's man himself and would never forgive me if I took money for a little thing like that. It just isn't done." He opened the car door for her, "get more gas at the next town," he said, and wish- ed, her the hest of luck. It was a trifling incident, but it. reflected the code of the bines. There are no little things today everything is important. Big things are only a group of little things which tied together at the end of the (lay mean happiness. The men in the truck just couldn't help stop- ping. It was worth while to every- body concerned. I VitILTON On Friday evening last neigbboris and friends of Mr. and Arn. Pm'!
