I have four wildlife cameras set up and I have your picture on my third one. I don't know you but some peo- ple I showed them to knowyou. I have three pictures of you. Just return them to gate #36311 off Blackhole Road, no questions asked. If not then I'm taking the pic- tures to the police and you can deal with them, or you can call me at 519-955-0406.

There was a continual downpour of ram nearly all day, and instead of snow and ice there was lots of mud and slush, and the atmosphere was more like the dawning of spring than mid- winter. The town was, conse- quently, very dull, and most people had to seek for enjoy- ment in their homes. • Notwithstanding the unfavour- able weather, the Christmas trade was fully as good, if not better than in former years. On Saturday and Monday the town was filled from end to end and our stores and other business houses were throngs from early in the forenoon until late in the evening. But great as the rush was it would have been very much greater had there been good sleighing. We hope for better things before New Years. • Those tobacco chewers, who persist in "chewing" tobacco during church service and spit- ting upon the floor, should remember the advice given by a lecturer who was touching upon tobacco chewing in church. He said, "Take your quid out of your mouth before entering the house of God, and lay it gently on the outer edge o the sidewalk or on the fence. It will positively be there when you come out - sure pop - for a rat wont take it, a dog won't take it, neither will a hog. You are sure of your quid when you come after it. Not the filthiest vermin on earth would touch it." III The flouring mills at Dublin were completely destroyed by fire on Thursday night of last week. The fire was clearly the work on an incendiary, as the mill had been unoccupied for several months. Jan. 9,1913 • Skating in the rink commences on New Years Day. III The Collegiate Institute and public schools commenced work after the holidays on Mon- day with all on deck and in good working shape. • Our hardware men, Messrs. H. Edge and George Sills are creat- ing quite a sensation through- out the country and their stores and thronged daily by people from near and far who are anxious to profit by the reduced prices offered. They are turning over a lot of goods and taking in a lot of cash, but whether the profits go to them or the pur- chasers is a matter on which we are not prepared to give a deci- sion. They bring a lot of people to town anyway and help to keep things moving. Dec. 30 1938 • The district is slowly digging itself out of a December bliz- zard that since Monday night had completely tied up traffic and stranded hundreds of motorists homeward bound after spending Christmas here. • Mayor John C.

IN The regular Legion Christmas concert was held in the Legion Hall Sunday afternoon with over 300 in attendance. Chair- man for the afternoon was legion president Ron MacDon- ald. Mrs. Keith McLean was pianist. • Seaforth's Main Street has been a fairyland of light during the Christmas season. Row after row of coloured lights provide a ceiling throughout the length of the street and intersections. Individual stores have pre- sented special effects, while a 40 -foot Christmas tree in front of the Town Hall is a blaze of light. Adding to the effect are gay figures suspended from lighted supports on each lamp standard along the street.
