'One of the chief items of business was the descussionl centred around the closing of service stations on Sunday of each' week from 12.30 in the afternoon until' five o'clock in the morning of the following day. Seven of the eight operators agreed to. the plan and a delegation waited on council requesting them to pass a bylaw putting it into effect. Our German friends seem to have taken a .step in the right, direction. The service station operator is en - ,titled to and could have Sunday off if the motoring public filled up on Saturday instead of Sunday. It could ;be done with little inconvenience, but When all stations are wide open all day Sunday nobody thinks of such a thing (excluding ministers :possibly). '1'1 1'+I!

Improved methods of handling eggs; which at the sante time mat. crially conserve the quality, have been initiated in Truro, N. S. Early this year the Brookfield Creamery of that town opened an egg station which includes several new features un the candling .room. While of modest construction, the rponn is equipped with a ventilating system that makes it possible to changes the air at frequent intervals.' The ventilator shaft is constructed in the ceiling, and a large fan, operated by an electric motor, is installed direct- ly beneath the candling. bench.. The eggs intended for sale to re- tailers aro packed in .cartons and placed in a special compartment equipped with refrigerator :facilities with built-in shelves. The tempera- ture is maintained at 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

The funeral services were held in First Presbyterian Church, Seaforth, on Sunday after- noon. Rev. Duncan Guest of Wheat- ley and Rev. Hugh Jack of Seaforth officiating. Court Clears Thresher, of Damage to Roadway Dainage caused by spiked tractor wheels to the shoulders of a newly - constructed stretch of road between Bayfield and Grand Bend highway, highway no.. 21, was desleribed by Traffic Officer Webb last Thursday afternoon in the prosecution of W. F. Jamieson, a thresher. The traf- fic officer said that already pro- vincial graders and road workers were out repairing havoe done by these tractor-dratim threshing out- fits. It was the first prosheution of its kind in this county and evidence de- veloped that there is a. difference of opinion between thresherinen and the department of highways. "The farmers, too, have some rights," said Magistrate Makins as he hesitated and finally . declined to convict. He urged threshers to use discretion. The defence called three witneses to prove that the attaching of pro- tector bands on spade lugs of tract- ors was a slow and costly operation. It would use up two hours a day on short Hauls, said Mr. Jamieson, and in this he was corroborated by P: Ireland, another thresherman. The traffic officer pressed for a conviction but the magistrate said that things had not yet reached the skage he Huron County when 'far- niers would be penalized 'for going about their wont- trying to make a livinng. Include Itegiment in British Alliance The alliance of the former Mid- dlesex Light Infantry in the Canad- ian militia, with the Middlesex Regi- ment (Duke of Cambridge's Own) in the Imperial army, has been continu- ed with the new amalgamated Mid- dlesex and IIuron Regiment. The orders read: e`,IIis Majesty She King has been pleased to approve that on the am- algamation of the Middlesex Light Infantry(' and the Huron Regiment, non -permanent active militia of Ca- nada, the alliance of the Middlesex Regiment (Duke • of Cambridge's Own) with the :former may be con,- tinued to the new unit formed by the amalgamation and designated the 'Middlesex and Huron Regi- ment." Pheasants Released on Kent County Farms One hundred English Ring -neck pheasants were released last week in Kent County -50 at Highgate, 25 at Thamesville and 25 at Chatham. These birds, ordered by the Ontario Department of Games and Fisheries, came from the Rauch Bird Farms of Dayton, Ohio, and they are of a somewhat different strain than the pheasants already released in this district. It is learned that a further ship- ment of pheasants to the number of 250 will be sent to Chatham by the Ontario Department of Game and Fisheries this week. They will be distributed by game overseers Suth- erland and Bray. Game Overseer Johnston will likely meet the ship- ment in Chatham. At the same time a shipmeet of. 250 birds will be made to Essex County. BRIDGES TIHAT BIND Boundary bridges. between Canada and the United States are increas- ing in numbers, in beauty and utility. Tourist traffic is being given fresh impetus as each new span is reared abovethe rivers that divide the two countries geographically, but across which sane neighbor- liness flings : its own friendly greet- ing. International bridges bind nations together.. Behind their practical value is the symbolic tie of faith and understanding. Among many fine expressions of this thought, we quote hereunder one from across the border, the Detroit Free Press. "The ' strongest ties that hold Canada' and the United States in the bonds of warm friendship are not of &tee] and concrete. "They are forged by similarity of aims, understanding of each other's' problems, faith in each other's hon- est and friendly intentions: "When great countries in Europe are watching with anxiety the man- oeuvres of millions of men ,in arms, Canada and: the United States, watch with deep satisfaction the opening of a new avenue of travel• end coniznerce 'between them." Pottery and Flint Located ' in Indian Mound The excavating of the site of the • Indian village on the John Pound farm, four miles northeast of Ayl- mer,' is rapidly nearing its condu- i sion as only two weeks remain for the archaeologists of the Royal On -1 lark. Museum, Toronto, to complete their work. During the past week, a trench 10 feet wide has been inserted into the largest mound in which it is l hoped valuable specimens will be unearthed. A quantity of small bits' of pottery, bone and flints have been: discovered .so far in this mound but' better specimens are expected. . The archaeologists were somewhat disappointed to find thatthis mound was'not as deep as they had at first thought. There is a natural rise in, the surface of the soil here leaving only a foot of humus, soil above the sandy sub -soil. This dark Iayer will contain any relics which are to be found. The area of ground containing the parallel dark streaks thought by the archaeologists to be lines of decayed flooring of a hut has been expanded revealing the area covered by the floor of the but to be a large one. 1 Visits Far North Port Headed by a Government party going north to inspect development wocic the Sixth Annual Tour to Can- ada's northernmost seaport at Chur- chill has just been concluded. The party visited Riding Mountain .Na- tional Park, The Pas, and at Flin' Floii the largest of Manitoba's min- ing centres. After a day and night at Churchill on the Hudson Bay, the special train returned to,, Winnipeg. The popularity of the Northern trip among Americans was attested by representation` of virtually every large city in the United States in the : party. ,,. DOG TAX OFFICIAL HAD AMUSING INCIDENT The Fergus council is at present putting on a drive to collect dog tax- es. At the meeting recently many excuses were heard for not paying dog taxes, and Clerk Hamilton Gib- son told the following story, along a somewhat different line: A little girl came into the mun- icipal office to buy a tag for her new dog. She was carrying the puppy with her. As there is a eer- tain discrimination between the sex- es in the amount of dog taxes charg- ed, Mr. Gibson inquired of the little, girl if she knew whether the dog was male or female. "No," she replied, "I don't think so. I think its a 'thoroughbred, Seek Shocking Wire Reformatory Fence Despite --strong opposition which once before. greeted the suggestion, the idea of erecting a fence at Guelph Reformatory with electrified barbed wire strands at top, again is under" consideration, Hon. Harry Nixon said last week, He is Pro- vincial Secretary. Such a plan was recommended in the report of Judge Madden,follow- ing his ,commission investigation in- to the reformatory riots. "It should be understood," Mr. Nixon said, o'tliat electrieity would be brought in from a battery system. If an inmate did attempt a break, it is not likely be could hang on to the top of the fence long enough to complete his climb. He would get a good shoek. There would notbe the slightest chance of him being electrocuted. It would not be dan- gerous." LUCKNOW GIRL GRADUATES FROM SCHOOL FOR BLIND Eleven blind students graduated Last week from a Canadian National Institute for the Blind school as teachers of the blind. It was the first such school held in seven years' and students attended from many' parts of Canada and Newfoundland. l Graduating students included Gwen Ackert, of Lucknow, Ont, SPONSOR SPARLING I£)1LLLIVt* CONTEST Since early in the spring several bays in the Fullerton neighborhood have been competing in a contest which is being sponsored by .the Fullerton Women's Institute, with the object of combatting the stead- ily growing starling nuisance.

Bunny Too Fast for Cricketers An amusing incident oceurred in the Nationals and Woodstock game at Sackville street on Saturday, when a rabbit appeared on the field with the game in full progress. The appearance of the bunny was the signal for the players to forget cricket and go .hunting, and every one of the players joined in 'and eventually the spectators could not resist the desire to go hunting. Despite so many hunters ,the elus- ive cotton tail won, but the game was resumed with Mr. Rabbit hay- ing won his own game. HOW TO EMBALM MICE A man who was annoyed with mice one night mixed some flour and sugar together in a shallow tray and placed it where mice could get at it. They had a. good time. The next night he did the same thing, and all the mice were happy once more. The next night the blooming rascal put out the same tray, with sugar, but substituted plaster of Paris Inc the flour. The mice came as before, ate freely, drank cop- iously, and lost interest in life. PAY AN ammar Aar IV FUSS IVO 'L .0 v PE You'll like our easy pay Budget PIan of time payments.
