speaking to the motion members of
council spoke highly of Dr. Shaw's
youthfulness and agility. Said N. W.
Trewartha, "It is a „pleasure to make
this motion. There is not a more all-
round rnan ire town than Dr. Shaw.
His remarkable vitality is almost un.
believable for a man his years."
Councillor Cook: "Dr. Shaw is a very
young • man and quite capable of
carrying on." Mayor Elliott: "I have
been associated with Dr. Shaw ever
since coming to this country and have
always found $m fair. He certainly
is still active, and like old wine, is
mellowing with age. I am glad that
council is taking this course of
action." ,
After the bylaw fixing time and
place for municipal elections was
read and passed, the question of hold-
ing the nomination in the town hall
instead of the council chamber was
raised. Some members thought that
. the space downstairs was too limited
i as a number had complained last
year that they were unable to at-
tend nomination meeting. No def-
inite action was taken.
1 Following the reading of the re-
port of the 1VI.0.H. Reeve Livermore
rose to give •a brief summary of the
county council sessions. "The county
'council Ito put through considerable
work since -we last met," he said.
•"The T.B. restricted area plan was
' passed and has gone, over good with
about 86% of farmers in favor. It is
a good step When we take into con -
1 sideration the benefit to people's
Ihealth., The farmers will not suffer
any serious loss as they receive com-
pentation." Speaking on the cost of
the equalization work being done by
!Men;g• and, Quinlan he said, "There
has been some criticism on the salary
ithey are getting. I do not consider
1 it is too much. If we want a good
!job we must pay for it" Ile also
; spoke of valuable information re-
ceived front the representative of the
Department of Municipal Affairs.
IFinance Chairman Trewartha sug-
gested that the chairman of corn -
1 mittees get their accounts in for
!payment before the elimination meet-
- ing so that the clerk's report would
,
' reveal as dose as . possible the true
Istate of the town's finances. He also
spoke of some information he had
obtained from Mr. Combo, of the
Department of Municipal Affairs. "I
asked the question, is it proper for
this municipality to have an i.relitor
go over the town's books when that
auditor is employed at a bank where
ost of the town's business is done."

"To have made friends on the

CAR PARKED IN SEPTEMBER IS
STILL IN FARMER'S LANE
Parked in the lane leading to the•
farm of John. Salter, on the outskirts
of Winghem, is an abandoned car,
and Mr. Salter would give a lot if
the owner would return and claim
his property. The machine has been -
there since last September and the
farmer figures the fellow who owns ,
it should get a special kind of park -
Mg ticket.-
-The mystery of the abandoned car
began One fine day when a swarthy
man, drove up in a 1926 model auto
and asked if he might leave the ear
in the laneway while he wenti to
town for a garagemara Oire of the
tires was flat. Just then up drove
another car and from the first ma-
chine several bundles were taken
along with the car tole end battery..
The articles were placed in the sec.,
and auto and off it went in a cloud
of dust. Mr. Salter hasn't seen them.
since.
Police were notified and their ex-
amination of the automobile only ad-
der to the mystery. Serial numbers
and other marks ort the car had been
either filed or chiselled away. And
it was established that the swarthy -
faced inert had driven the car through
Wingham with a flat tire which could.
easily have been repaired in the vil-
lage. •
Mr. Salter says he is sick and tired
of zeeing the car stand in his lane -
way. The whole affair is, no longer
a joke, he declares,

It was Mr. Abeehart's first visit

In an interview, Mr. Aberhart de-
