FIREMEN RECEIVE GRANT AND REBATE 'The matter of post office 'box rents occupied council's attention for some time at the December meeting Mon- day evening. The Mayor occupied the chair and Reeve 'Snaith and Coun- cillors Fergueon, ;Scott, Beattie, Sproat and Crozier were present. IMayor Sutherland introduceel the matter and said that the rental charges for boxes at the post office which during the good or rormal times were respectively $1, $2 and $3, while presen,t rates were $2, $3 and $5. This, he considered, ueireason- able and said that the prices shade be reduced or no charge made other than for the price of the keys. In the cities and even in the country, mail delivery was -free, but the citi- zens f the town were 'penalized. De- livery and collections were made im- medietely outside the town limits, while the town ratepayer was requir- ed to go to the post office and pay for 'the privilege. He asked the coun- cil to pass a motion asking the Post- rnaster General to have a reduction Made, dating from January J. 1934. Councillors were agreed with him and Councillor G. D. Ferguson mov- ed, seconded by iCouncillor J. H. Scott, "That the Postmaster General be asked to reduce rental of post office boxes to $1, $2 and $3 from January 1, 1934." On Motion of Councillor Beattie, seconded by Councialor Scott, the Lions Club was given permission to erect a community Chrietmas tree at the corner of Main and Goderich Streets. Firemen received attention from the council, their grant of $300 and the rebate of poll tax to meinbers and the chief's salary of $76 being pees - ed. Councillor Beattie made the ino- tion, which was • seconded by Coun- cillor Crozier. Arrangements for a municipal elec- than, if such was needed, were made.

Dear Jean: Well, the holiday jaunt' is fast coning to an end and again I ask the question, rWhere has the' time gone?" In a little over a week I'll be boarding the good ship "Aseania" at .SoutharopteM and then you might say the summer spree had taken wings. By now you'd think I should know the Old ;Country pretty well. •01 course I've seen a great deal, prohebly infinitely more than the holidayelearist ever sees, but Duly eneurged to make me want to come again some other time before I die, to wake up and behold the buttercup and the daisy in the spring time, ' and bo hear the nightingale, sing. The mileage since last writing from Tintern has not been so much but dear me, we've had many ex- periences and a great 'deal of fun. This is bank holiday week -end, when everybody, man, 'avernan and child, packs his goods and chattels and de- parts for one of the various nooks and corners of this little country. You might say it was a real exodus, and London, they say, mdght just as well be the Sahara Desert. I guess our .Labor Day would be the Can- adian equivalent. There's sernetherig rather comfortin.g about being part and parcel of a great holiday -making crowd. From -Tintern we drove through the loveliest country following the Wye Valley lei making a big curve around the mouth of the Severn Riv- er to •Gloucester—the famous ,Glou- cester where Dr. Foster vrent ih a shower of rain and stepped in the puddle, etc. Another claim to fame is its Cathedral, a most inspiring structure. It boasts the oldest4and largest nave window in Europe and still has its original fourteenth cen- tury glass intact. Maybe it's be- cause the • pious Edward II put his weary bones to rest in 'the choir of the Cathedral, but the most heaven- ly feeling •seems to seize you the minute you stand under the cathedral roof; to go beyond ento the cloisters and beneath into the crypt is simply to experience a miracle. I know of nothing to equal the exemisite per- fection of the fan vaulting in those cloisters to -day exactly as they were in 1100. 'Middle age wealth is evi- denced by this intriguing memorial. John Bower had nine sera and sev- en daughters by his, wife, Ann Bow- er. I remember, too, that we got hopelessly lost in the tsck alleys, while looking for the front entrance to the Cathedral.

MUSICAL ,ISITMBERS The Home and School Club pro- vided a rare Christmas treat for its members and friends when it brought Dr. E. J. Pratt to speak to them on Wednesday evening ;n tho Carne' Libreky Hell. Reading from his poem, "The Roosevelt and the An - toe," graphically relating the in- tervening events, Dr. Pratt transport- ed his audience to a world eibratire with emotion ancl sympathy, the drama of 'am .epic rescue at sea. Following the leoture-recital, came bwo most acceptable musical numbers, a violin solo by Eugene Demean, ac- companied by Miss Alice Daly and a vocal solo rby Mr. James Scott, ac- companied by Mrs. 'Munn. . Mrs. C. Holmes presided at the meeting and the guest of the even- ing was introduced by Rev. I. B. Keine. A most appreciative vote of thanks was tendered Dr. Pratt by Mr. John Forrest, to 'be seconded by Rev. W. P. Lane. ; • Speaks At School In the afternoon Dr. 'Pratt was the guest of the Literary Society of the Seaforth Collegiate Institute. The president, Miss Winnie Savauge, was in .the their and the speaker lees in- trocleced by Miss Markin Bell. preceding Dr. Pratt's enteresting talk, a piano solo by Miss Helen Brit- ton and a piano duet by Miesee Jes- sie and 'Margaret Smith added much to the meeting. Before introducing the erst num- ber entitled., "The Reverie of a Dog," Dr. Pratt spoke of the Newfoundland .degs which, he said, possessed cour- age, intelligence. affection and devo- tion to human being that is -unsur- passed and told of some remarkable instances of their ability to save life. •The dog Carlos by name, had been the means of rescuing 93 people by carrying a rope in its teeth to a boat that was stranded near the coast in a terrific gale, succeeding after five different attempts„ just 'before the boat went down. He also gave a vivid portrayal of the tragedies connected with seal fishing in Newfoundland. Being himself a native of the island Dr. Pratt has captured the spirit of the sea with all its romance and ad- venture and his poems, which are both virile and fascinating, are a valuable contribution to Canadian lit.
