Editor Johnston of the Mildmay
Gazette knows something about the
cattle business now. Last July he
bought a carload of cattle and put
them out to pasture. They cost him
$1,250, and when they were sold iii
the fall he got $1,368. He calculates
that the difference of $118 would just

Carbon Monoxide Dangers
With the approach of winter, • the;
danger of carbon monoxide gas pois_
oning from motor cars increases:
Although warnings have dbeen Widely
broadcast in recent years, the pre:.
cautions that must be taken against
the insidious action of the gas which
gets in its deadly work when a motor
is allowed to run in a closed'gareeei.
csanrnot
cause carbon monoxide is a colorless
odorless and tastless gas it gets in its
killing work frequently without warn'
ing of any kind to the victim. Motor
vehicles, therefore, should never be
started and wanned up, or run in.
closed or, public garages while adjust-
ments are being made. The wise
procedure is .to open the garage do-
ors always before starting the eng-
ine, and to shut off the engine before
shutting the doors.

Thursday of this week is the an_
O nual Christmas day, and everything
0
a points to this being one of the mer-
• riest of the merry Christmas that we
.have se -en in many a year. There is
enough snow on the ground to make
the picture real, and then we can
have our choice of either driving in
the cutter, buggy,or the auto runs
about as well as anytime in the sum-
iner, so nothing is to stop us from
dejoying the aay to its full. But
as we are celebrating this popular
event, shall we not forget what it all
means th the world in general, to our,
nation, our community, our homee,
and last but not least, to our indiv-
idual life which is immortal and will
live on forever. Do we ever stop to
realize what and who we would be if
this babe were not born 1930 years
ago in a humble manger in Palestine,
by very humble parentage. WC might
at present be worshiping some big
idle or animal or what not, as prev-
ious to this date the religion of God
was observed by the Hebrew people
only. But after the corning of this
great Prince of Peace, all peoples
and races were invited •ie the fold. af
worshiping the God who is Lord over
all. So in passing through this day
• please give the real meaning of the
day some thought.

Financial Reports
The Treasurer's annual financial
statement of the business transacted
by the Council of the Township of
Hay for the year 1930 is now print-
ed and the treasurer, Mr. A. F. Hess
leas the same ready for distribution
to parties interested. The Township
has had a rather strenous year finan-
cially, owing to the various drains
• which were constructed, and which
caused several bridges to be built,
that would have otherwise not been
necessary at present. to rebuild. Most
of us wonder in the fall of the year
just where all this money goes that
is being collected' in taxes every year

and this year the tax acount in the
township is $61297.94, taxes paid,
to date of Dec. 1,5th $57706.09, un-
paid taxes $3591.85, and for the in-
formation of those who will not re-
ceive a copy of this annual statement
we will give only a few quotations
that we trust will be interesting as
to where our taxes go: Total receipts
for year $128240.,97, Total payments
$124023.48, balance on hand $4217.-

goes to the County Rates as follows:
General County rate $8842.22, Co.
Highway rate 5052.70, Prov Highway
rate 2526.3:5, Old Age Pension rate
$1263,17, total $17,684.44; Our total
Township road expenditures is $12,-
143.37, while the schools cost us
$12,933.13. The Hey Municipal Tel-
ephone Systetn is in a very healthy
condition, with total receipts of
13,804.65 and total payments of
$12453.17, and a balance on hand of
$1,651.65.The people during the past
