Busy But Prompt - The operators down at
the telephone Central had a busy time Mon-
day evening and though there was a whole
multitude of calls from all over the district,
each one received prompt attention and
there was the best of service. If Mrs. Rum -
ball is proud of her staff of young ladies and
of the obliging night clerk as well, it's only
what ought to be expected.
Warden Geiger Caned - At the close of the
county council proceedings last week Mr.
Owen Geiger, Reeve of Hensall, who has fill-
ed the wardenship about as capably as most
of his predecessors, was presented with a
gold headed cane by his colleagues, Reeve
Glen of Stanley making the presentation.
The cane was suitably engraved and no
doubt will be treasured by Mr. Geiger as one
of his most valued possesions.
