The Caven Presbyterian Manse was the scene of an interesting wed­ ding at two o’clock Saturday after­ noon when Jean Isabel, daughter of Judge J. G. S.

W, Down, was taken Thursday of last week with a heart attack -and to his bed proved at friends will again soon. has sin’ce been confined - He is somewhat im- presen^t -and his many hope to see him around Exeter, Friday, Feb. 26, 1937 A special meeting of the muni­ cipal council was called -by the Reeve and held at his home. All members of the council were pre­ sent, The purpose of the meeting was to consider the granting of a license for a -billiard andi pool­ room. A letter was read from Solicitor -F. W. Gladman pointing out that the prohibition of any law­ ful business, callin® or occupation is beyond the powers of the muni­ cipality council grant a ton for The same was approved by the coun­ cil without motion, The solicitor’s letter is as lows; Mr. Joseph Senior, Village Clerk, Exeter, Ontario Re pool Room Licenses Dear Sir: Referring to your request of 23rd inst., in my opinion the coun­ cil has only the power to license, regulate and govern persons who for hire or gain, have in their pos­ session or on theii’ premises any billiard,, pool or bagatelle tables. They can also limit the number of licenses to be granted and the num­ ber of tables to be licensed, and they can revoke any license that has been granted. These privileges are set out in Sec. 429 of the Municipal Act. I do niot think that the council can refuse to grant a license when the- person applying, for it has con­ formed with the provisions of the by-law that the council passed a few years agio-. Sec. 2\6'3 of the Act ex­ pressly provides that the council shall not confer on any person ex­ clusively right of exercising the municipality any trade, or business, or impose any tax on any person exercising less authorized to do so by the Act itself. It would, therefore, natur­ ally follow that absolute prohibition of any lawful 'business, callin® or occupation is beyond the powers of the municipality unless that power is expressly .conferred by some law or act, or unless the occupation is Unlawful in itself, and in this latter .ecas’e the Act making it would likely provide its alty. It also- seems to me power to revoke a license, although it is given in the Act, cannot be ex­ ercised arbitrarily, but should only be exercised, for some cause, su-ch as a violation of the provisions of the by-law or the character or con­ duct >of the licenses, revealed after the granting of the license. Yours truly, W. F. Gladman therefore the municipal had no alternative than to license to Mr. Nelson Stat- •a billiard and pool room. fol- the within calling special it, un- unlawful own pen- FIRST HOCKEY GAME The first hockey game in the new arena was played on Monday even­ ing when Dashiwood and Exeter played to a one-one tie. A -fair sized crowd turned out to see the game and wepe treated to some good and bad hockey. In the opening periods the play was quite fast biut dfirin® the third session became ragged and -the players roughed it up quite freely. . After a sco-rless firist period the locals notched, the first goal midiway through- -the sec­ ond period when Creech scored on a lone .rush. Dashwood evened the count in the third period: on a goal by Kluimpp. AJ number of minor penalties were handed out by referee Chas. Trie'bner with the locals draw­ ing the majority. The local team introduced a number of junior play- er-s and • they put up a good game. The ice was not in the 'best of con­ dition. The teams were: Exeter — Goal, Ford; defense Creech and N. Wells; centre, Mc­ Donald; wings, Williard and Cor­ nish; sujbs, Hockeyi, Laing, Dinney, Busrweil, Norton, Ryckman. Dashwood,—Goal Goetz; defense, Tieman and Resteymer; centre, K. Wein; wings, W.

McDonald, of Hensail, be­ came the bride of Mr. Russell Y. Love, ot Kincardine, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Love, of Hensail. ReV. Arthur -Sinclair officiated.

COMMUNICATION RBFORESTRATJON The time for the wanton destruc­ tion of -our forests has long gone by and now we see many farms with­ out even a small woodlot to supply the necessary fuel jfor the farm home ar a stick of timber for em­ ergency repairs about the place. The Provincial Forestry Depart­ ment has “ scheme to ta/blishing trees are which are for woodlot and windbreak' plant­ ing.’ These facilities have not been appreciated' and taken advantage of generally as they should have been. Recently some enthusiasm has been seen in many districts and plans are afoot to remedy the lack by exten­ sive planting. It is gratifying to see the Exeter Horticultural Society lending a hand in this movement by having a rep­ resentative of the Forestry Branch as one of the speakers at the -meet­ ing Friday night in Main St. United chuVch. (Farmers, and especially the younger ones, are urged to be present and get all available infor­ mation on the subject. —S. J.
