My equity in my car to my son -he will have tr go to work to keep up the payments. Give my good will to the supply house -they took some awful chances on the and are entitled to, something. My equipment you can give to the junkman -he has had his eye on it for several" years. I want six of my creditors for pallbearers --they hay carried me. so long they might es well finish the job.' , Telephoning for a new ukelele ,trimg, miss asked the music store clerk to tune'the thing before sending it out. 'TOWN' COUNCIL (Continued from page 1) 204 cases' had been cared for last Year at tl Home rein London. On motion of Councillors 'Holmesmos and Cook a grant of $25 was voted for this purpose. The report p of tfie auditors was read and on motion of Councillors Paisley and Walker' was accepted as read, receipts and 'expenditures to be published. These will be found. on. another page of .this issue. Bylaw No. 7e amending bylaw No. 6, 1923, reducing pool table licenses was read Three times and passed. Councillors Cook arid Inkley intro- duce a notion i in M r d v 111 . L. Law- son son use of the town :'park on Mary street foe the growing of grain or vegetables . but other member,•s of council thought the matter should receive more consideration and the motion was held over. A motion .sponsored by Councillors Livermore and Inkley, to allow the cutting of two trees on the proper- ty of Mrs. Watt, Felton street, caes- ed some discussion, Councillor Liv- ermore, who said he was very much 'apposed to the slaughter of trees a: a general rule, favored the cutting of these, As he said it would result in the improvement of the property IIe said one was already down and took responsibility for it. Mr. A. T Cooper, who was in the audience, asked permission to address the council and on its being granter' asked that the council or the street romniittee look into the matter be- fore the remaining tree be cut. It took a least forty years to grow such a tree and he thought it a mis- take to cut it. Had he known the matter was to come up he would have had a delegation present to protest against it. Councillor 'Cook said the idea behind the cutting :cf the trees was not to spoil property but to im- prove it, and on Reeve Elliott's sug- gestion that the street committee look over the situation the matter was laid over for the time. Councillor Paisley complained of a leak in the watermain on Princess street but Chairman Livermore said the Waterworks commission was a ware of it and would look after it as soon as it was thought practic- able. Councillor IIolmes thought ar- rangements should be made for road improvement "paving the way fm pavement," he called it. Draining might be done on some streets and residents' wishes regarding the put- ting in of curbing 'obtained. Chairman Inkley of the cemetery committee reported that Councillor Walker, the superintendent of the cemetery, and himself had gone over the cemetery and lie wished to make seine recommendations. Fleet that the,sum of approximately $100 be set aside in the estimates for thep aint. brig of fence and other small jobs of repairs; that something be done a- bout sone plots which have high and unsightly evergreen hedges which are encroaching on adjaaen' plots, 'also some stone fences whicl- are broken down and out of re- pair. _ He also wished permission to thin a row of maples which are too thick to grow properly. After some discussion it was decided: that the matter of communicating with the owners of the plots with the too• wide hedges, the broken down fence es and the thinning o.f the trees be left with the cemetery committee with power to act. On motion of Councillors Holmes, chairman of the property committee seconded by Councillor Walker, hat and coat hangers will be placed at the west end 'cif the town hall for the convenience sof those at':. !cling gatheriit'gs there, Chairman Walker of the charity committee reported most of the stuff donated for relief had already been distributed and he relented that the Home and School Club wished the use of the hall for a repetition of the play recently put on by the On- tario street young people, the pro- ceeds to go for relief. On motion of Councillors Liver- more and Cook a grant of $25 was voted to the Horticultural Society. Councillors Inkley and Livermore; speaking ,to the motion, said that as $132 had been expended upon the town plots looked after by the So- city last year, that nothing of the kind could be done on $25. But they would do the best they could. The Public School will attend to, its owr flower beds. Councillor Walker thought something should be done to clean zip the place across from Levis' garage, which was an eyesore on the public highway and in the centre of the town. He was, remind-. ed that this was private property. On motion of Reeve Elliott ane; Councillor Paisley a grant ,of $1.00 was voted to the 'Spring Show. On motion of Councillor Paisley and Reeve Elliott $800 was granted to, the Kiltie Band, the usual sum- mer concerts to be given. On motion of. Councillors Paisley and Cook the Town Clerk was auth- orized to grant dear and cigarette licenses to those having 'then. last year and at the same fee. Om ' motion of' 'Councillors Holmes and Walker the finance committee of the Public School and Collegiate boards are to be asked to meet the finance eemmittee of the council todisco es expenditure for the t p e pre- sent year, Chairman Paisley to con- for with the other committees and THURS., MARCH 9, 1933 arrange date. Reeve Elliott suggested that as the 'work of levelling at the ceme- tery road last year, work undertak- en in conjunctionwith the reeve of Mullett township, was so satisfac- tory, if the council approved he might 'continue it. The council greed and after some discussion it was suggested that the boulevard thus' built up might have a coating of fine gravel, as being easier to ap- ply and less trouble than grass which must be kept cut.

WALKERTO'N WINS The Bruce County team won from Clinton Colts, in the second game of the, semi-finals, by a score of 6.4, securing a four goal margin in the home and home series, thus qualify- ing to meet the leaders in one of the other intermediate O.H.A. groups. The ice was soft Friday night, mak- ing playing heavy work. Clinton opened: the 'scoring in the first period, McEwan connecting on a three-man combination with Elliott and Gibbs, ten minutes after the game commenced, but Reybould and Blulnn equalized in another five minutes. The period finished 1-1. The second period began to look like a blank with 15 minutes gone and no goals, *when Walker found an opening and slipped one -past Twy- ford, making it 2-1, and put the Bruce boys three up. In the third the visitors made four goals in twelve minute's, the goal - getters, being, Rudgeon, Walker and Reybould, and with their substantial margin put everything they had in defending their goal. The Colts made a grand rally however, and with five minutes to go, in the best bit of combination of the fixture. got through Oberle's guard for three counters. Gibbs, McEwan and Ken, meow each bulging the twine. The Colts were outclassed on1p1' by a narrow margin and at that showing more 'stamina in the dying moments of the frame than the heavier Bruce county stalwarts, and would have evened up the score in five minutes more of play. The boys have put up a strong fight for hop, ours and deserve credit. Johnny Jones of Guelph had the game well in hand throughout. While the arena was not packed as close ae: when the Colts beat the Goderich Sailors, there was a crowd of. 1,000 fans to Witness the game, at least 200 of them hailing from the Bruce County town.

ODD NAMES OF CANADIAN TOWNS A traveller whose curiosity led him to analyse the names in the timetable published by the Canadian National Railways, comments on the oddness of some of the names which appear in it. Among them are Char- coal, Petrel, Glass, Jelly, Water Tank, Solid Comfort, Paradise Hill and Ha Ha Bay. The shortest one - syllable names include Ens and Ops. I£ is evident that explorers' imagina- tion runs in one groove only. Those who tacked the above names on to unlucky places, with the exception of one or two, must have chosen them from the article nearest their eyes at the moment. The man who named the station Ops may have cone from one of the hop -growing counties of England and had visions of planting a field of them in the vicinity. • It is au- thentically told that the village of Hepworth, up in Bruce, was so nam- ed by an Englishman who wished the village named Epworth. Wheh the place was to be named those who had it in hand gave the honor of choosing the name to this English- man, an old settler and highly es- teemed in the community, and a friend, knowing him to be an ardent Methodist, suggested that it would be nice to name it Epworth after Epworth Rectory. where .Tehn, Wes- ley was born. The' Englishman at once agreed and when asked what name he had chosen answered "Hep- worth" and so it was named. "He gives me a pain in the neck," says Jones, "this man from India who hasn't spoken a word for several years. ,Gosh, I've been married twice that long." FOR FUNDS cued him and solomnly presented him After the merchant hadeco e r v red Diocesan workers organise to replace. lost . endowments of Anglican Province of Rupert's Land Intensive activity in the various Anglican dioceses in Canada has re- sulted from the appeal • of the Exe cutive Council of the General Synod of the Church to prevent discontin- uance of missionary enterprise in the province of Rupert's Land. In Huron diocese a large and re- presentative committee is at work with Mr. Walker Whiteside and Judge Morley as chairman and vice. chairman and Archdeacon Doherty as General Secretary. Bishop See- ger is chairman of the Executive with Col. Ellis and Col. Carling as Vice-chairmen. VALUING ITIS LIFE Robert Burns arrved one day upon the quay at Greenock just in time I hethanked t heailor s who had res ' cued him and somenly presented him with a shilling. 'The crowd which had collected, protested loudly . at this too -Scotch parsimony, but Burns stopped them, saying: !'Leave him. alone.
