Relief Cut Off to Permit Holders
Two important decisions were
made by the Welfare Board when it
was unanimously decided that no
person holding a liquor permit and
using it could receive relief from the
town. Chief Rocher was consulted
in this regard and he consented to in-
vestigate the liquor permits. The
same thing applied to cars being driv-
en by those on relief. If they could
afford to buy gas they should not
need relief,—Listowel Banner.

Child Swallowed ' Safety Pin
Early Sunday morning Drs. Tye
and McTavish were called to the
home of Mr. and Mrs, Sam Steckley,

the throat of their four -month-old

Tracks Appear to be That of a Bear
Tracks, which have been seen by
different parties at various times in
the Langside community, appear to
be those of a bear, probably a cub
of last year. The Scott boys and
others in the neighborhood have been
on the trail but, so far as . we can
learn, have failed to locate the in-
truder. A sparse covering of snow
with stretches of bare ground has
made tracking difficlut. — Lucknow

Poor Syrup Season
Mr. Jas. A. Garland, maple syrup
king of Bruce, informs us that while
he has had some 2600 trees tapped
and functioning for a month, very lit-
tle maple syrup or sugar has, so far,
been boiled down. There is still a
possibility that the season may re-
deem itself before closing, but to
date 1933 has been a lean year in
this respect. Syrup is selling, with
the can thrown in, at $2 per gallon,
while maple sugar is bringing 25c
per pound on the local market-

been troubled during the summer
months with the neighbor's chickens.
Now that in a couple of months gar-
dening will

haps the following' schein.eof getting.
rid of the nuisance may be valuable,
It is the old scheme of tying 'a card
or piece of paper by means of a short
thread, to. a grain of corn. When the
fowl swallows the corn, the cards,
dangle from their beaks, thus fright-
ening them home. A message is writ-
ten on the card similar to the fol-
lowing: "I have been in Mr. Smith's
garden, where I should not have been

not bring results, a loader message

one.—Mitchell Advocate.
Coal Gas for Cars
In England they are now running
heavy trucks and the heavier auto-
mobiles with compressed coal gas in-
stead of gasoline and are said to be
getting good results. The reason is
that England has been experiment-
ing: for years along this line and now
leve it nearly perfected. The new
fuel is said to be more economical,
with better pick up and less damage
to engines. The ordinary engine is
used, the only difference being a dif-
ferent carburater and storage tank.

Canadian Cheese Export
Reports to the Department from
London, England, state that there is
little indication of doubt that the
price of Canadian cheese can be fair-
ly held, and that stocks will be out
•
of the way before the new season's
make arrives.
This statement was based on the
fact that at March lst., approximate-
ly 4,000 tons of Canadian cheese was
on hand, with further arrivals esti-
mated at 300 tons for March, and
200 tons for April. In 1931 old Can-
adians finished on September 4th at
70s. per cwt: In 1932 old Canadians
finished on July 15th., after a rapid;
upward swing in price to 84s per •
cwt.
In the present year, from January
1st. to the beginning of this month,
the price has continued constant 60s.
to 68s., being just two points under
the corresponding period of last year..
