Christmas Weather For Christmas Contrary to early and oft -repeated predictions, we did not have a green Ghxiatnvas, or any weather which by any stretch of the imagination could be called 'gree'n. :Plenty of snow an plenty of'cold made a real old time C ristmas. Per- haps the abundance of other old time Christmases was not as apparent this year, but after all it was not too bad and we should be thankful. There was more of the Christmas espiri't in the air too. Service clubs and the well-to-do made Christmas more than just a name to the less fortunate and brought joy into many a home. And business was 'better. That helped a lot. Te be sure the Christ- mas shopping did not create a re- cord, but it was much better than a year ago and going up is far more pleasant than going down from the. standpoint of the business man. No one but the weather 'man knows anything definite about the weather, and the wise men who so freely pre - i cted a mild open winter are shoveI- ngg coal the same as the rest of us. It takes snow and cold to make a real Christmas. But we have had it now and the majority of people would be satisfied with a little less winter for the next two or threemill s: More Trouble For Mr. Henrp Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. No doubt Mr. Henry, Premier of Ontario, has realized the truth of that old saying long ere this. In fact Mr. Henry's life as Premier has not been, any bed of roses. His elevation to the Premiership was not taken with any too good grace by certain mien high in the party and perhaps particularly so 'by certain memlbers of the Cabinet who are said to have possessed strong premiership aspirations of their own. As far as the rank and file, of the party are concerned, Mr. Henry has always had a loyal following. All recognized his ability and integrity, but the Cabinet and some !n:,cm'bers of the House, missed the strong hand of former Premier Ferguson. All has not been well at Toronto's seat of government. Cabinet Jacks have considered themselves as good' as their master and have been play- ing a lone hand. The statements of the Preirier have been, contradicted by his ministers and statements of the, ministers have been contradicted by the Premier. 'The Cabinet has. got rather out of hand and as far as he general pub- lic can see or. judge, the Cabinet or certain 'members of it, have made rather a mess of things. They have not helped th`e'ir own cause, the P'rem- ier's, the party's or the country's, either. The latest trouble development for the Ontario Government is the" Me- Caughrin case, where the Hun. Wil- liam Finlayson and Attorney General Price are reported to have sought t'he resignation of the Police Magistrate of Orillia by means of • purchase, whereupon the Orillia magistrate spilled the beans. • One would imagine that the buy- ing and .selling of judicial offices was a somewhat dangerous proceeding to ,indulge in, but both minister" claim , it is quite a common practise at To- ronto and has been for some years. It is stated, in fact, that the prac- tise originated over thirty years ago daring the Liberal regime. That may be quite..etrue, but it does not alter the fact that The, practise is a vicious one and one which the country at' large will not tolerate. What the Conservative government at Toronto should remember is that ft was what the L`rerals did while in power over thirty years, or rather some of the things they were sus- pected of doing, is, what put the late Hon. J. P. Whitney into power. ' And it is things like the 'McCaugh•- rip episode and others that have tome to lvg'h't, in connection with the ad- ministration of Ontario government, during the past few years, that have made the route of the Henry Govern- ment mere than a possibility at the next general eleetion. • Under the` rp esent fire neither Mr. Price ,or 'Mr. Finlayson appears to advantage and when Premier 1llenry seeks to right matters by announc- ing art -investigation in -the Legi'sla- , 'w iieit is nothing more or less the nlltttvmi rg MS Ministers 0 try thet'nialvds, lie will lose more in the eati> ,bi'° e of the country than he i t 'tgaliin; in patty od^r ntstge. f., k f f: t4^Yt SEEING ENGLAND (Continued from page 1) Winchester used to be the capital of a England long before London. Its' fact, it was not far from the city walls that King' Alfred burnt' the cakes. Over one of the city gates we discovered .the gruesome evidence of war in the good old days -on top of the gate was a narrow trough with intermittent holes through which it was the custom to pour molten -lead on the enemy' as they would seek to dash through or storm the entrance. Nice idea, isn't it? That Round Table in the banqueting room of the Great Hall couldn't possibly have be- longed to the m!vthical 'king, but it's a jolly good table just the same, di- vided into the proper number of divisions according to .the number of Knights.. The keeper of the door re- verently informed us that it had been hanging there for over five hundred years. Now back to the Cathedral. "Come along, girls! Can you tell me the difference between an abbot, a bishop and an archbishop?" Of co•Cirse, we couldn't! "There are the caskets of the seven early Kings of England. Look at that reredos, each figure, is as high and half as high again as the average moan. Look there, at your feet, that's the tomb of Jane Austen." My head was just whirl- ing. "Sit down there," exclaimed Mr. Adams, pointing to a queer little wooden flap seat, "if you don't keep your feet well placed on the floor you'll fall off. Those seats were :for the monks who would come here be- fore dawn to pray. You see they had to keen awake or they'd fall right off!" Look down that transept -per- fect Norman architecture. See the little gallery? That's the 'minstrel's eallery built at the command of Mary `Tudor at the time of her wedding. She thought the choir music was, too serious. On thait great day, every one of the hundreds of guests that packed this Cath-•' .al wore white vel- vet by her command. The bride wore black velvet, a very sad omen. , I could see it so vividly. "Now, girls, I must go to dinner. I hope you have enjoyed your visit to Winchester Cathedral." Indeed I had. Dinner -time. There was no other place for us to eat but the: famous "Ye Olde Hostel of God -Begot." By the look of the place it would seem' to • date aback to the Old Testament clays, actually, I believe it was erect- ed. in ,1052 and restored by the Tu- dors in 1558. All the rooms upstairs were named Stephen., Judith, :Mary, etc. But the roast beef.. downs -tains and the Yorkshire pudding. and the apple pie -well, England still expects every man to do his duty. After dinner we bade, farewell to some of our pals, and Jean and Roxy and I took "Lily" on to Windsor, the last lap of a glorious, eventful holi- day. My, but it'was a scorching day, so hot that we simply had to stop and revive our drooping spirits with one of those limp English sodas. How I did .feel for those poor red -coats; slicking their heels so bravely on the Castle Esplanade. We didn't care two pins to see the royal bedsteads, but we all wanted a peep at the Doll' House. Once again I was a six-year old, fascinated with the tiny kitchen, the "real live" motor cars, the weeny pictures. It was a dream come true! Ore other thing we did want to see was St. George's Chapel, the Chapel ,Royal, It was after four, the closing hour, but u'e are so lucky with our vergers! This handsome, kindly char let us in the back door, and there we had the lovely little chapel all to ourselves. The choir is just a gem. The afternoon sun simply flooded through the scarlet, blue and gold panes of the beautiful historic. windows. Very carefully, the verger pointed out to us the erneblazened em- blems of the Order of the Garter, on the south side of the choir. Just behind the screen were the royal pews, one for the King, one for the Queen, separated by s stuffy blue cur- tain, so that His Majesty might have a little snooze without being told a- bout it when he got home. • After a hasty, visit to Stoke Poges, where Jean and Roxy absolutely dis- graced me, we drove on past Eton College for London. I was appointed chief map reader to take us into the Mawible Awch, and 'ususally called out the "turn left" just when Roxy had passed the spot. I 'became very unpopular,,:'It was so good to see London again -dirt, grime, heat and all its people, but still London. "Lily" peacefully, sank to rest in the musty old garage in Berwood Mews and three travellers sat themselves down to collect a few thoughts. Now we have just come in from our "last night" -"Richard of . Bor- deaux." I was• simply transported - eh, the splendour of those stately -Cos- tumes and the adorable little queen, Anti of Bohemia) I think 1 was just as thrilled as on the night of "Cav- alcade" at Drury Lane. New as I must drop my letter in the post box, I am sad and glad too. To -morrow I sail for home. Will I ever come again? As ever, MARION. - Gravel, Truckers, Taxes, (Continued frons page 1) "The side' streetswere in poor condition and it was decided to put 500 yards of gravel on them," said the Reeve. "The work commenced !early this month with gravel from McKillop pit at 75 cents' a • yard on the street, and to date 285 yards have been distributed:. Some 85 yards mare will be placed." Mr. G. Lilly questioned the policy of 'procuring' gravel from McKillop and asked what drifferen'ce there was between Tuclkersmith and (McKillop. "Tu'ckersmith grayel is not as good," answered Reeve Smith." "Is it a good 'policy to put gravel on the roads at this time of year," asked J. A. McKenzie. "Possibly{ not," said the Reeve, "Ibut we. must put it on When we can get' it" Wilson Haw'kinls asked why Mc- Killop w'ou'ld rrot allow Seatforth truckers to draw the gravel and the reeve explained the .township had a contraat • with certain persons to haul all gura+vil feent-'•M'eKillep pits.

"It seems to nye, !Mr. Reeve. you were over- stepping your mark when you order- ed this: gravel." "Any more questions?" asked the Reeve. "I would be glad to answer any questions from ratepayers or any financially interested in the town." J. A. McKenzie: "I paid my tax- es." Reeve Smith: "I know that, Mr. McKenzie, and I appreciate your questions." "Could you give us any informa- tion on Gordon Young's bond," co'n- tinu'ed Mr: McKenzie. "We elect men to look after county affairs. Ane they not responsi'bl'e?" The 'Reeve explained the county's position in regard to the 'bon and thought a very favorable settle ent had been made, considering all thi He then reviewed at length the co n- ty affairs of the past year. 'Councillor Crosier, nominated fe, Reeve, was the next speaker. "This is the third year in which I have stood here," he said. "Last year I was sickamrd-unable to do much 'but if I had been well -it -is -doubtful if I would have been allowed to do much. At the first council meeting I was as much as told to sit down and be good." 'Mr. Crosier congratulated Mayor Sutherland on his work as Mayor and relief officer during the past year, "and despite all this extra work," he said, "he was not given a cent for his trouble." Voice from the audience: "Do you mean 'to say he was not paid for that work 'VI- .Me. "'Mr. Crosier: "No." Voice from the .audi'en'ce: "Wfefl'I', you are• a cheap bu'nc'h." ' In conoluding (Mr. Crosier promised if elected, to look after all interests and to see that everyone got a square deal. 'J. F. Daly, 'nominated for 'Reeve and for Public Utility Convmission, was tlhe next speaker. I will run for anything" said Mr, Daly. "`I have, spent 24 years in mun(►eipal life in .Seaforth, '18 of those years being on t'he P. U. C." The speaker congratulated Mayor Sutherland and renilarked that it was not necessary to 'be on the council to help the town. "Keep a stiff upper Hp, every ci'tize'n help and conditions will i'mlptrove," she concluded. W. H. Golding, M.P., Chairman of the P. U. C. was the Dalt speaker. He reviewed -the work of the P. U. C. during the past year and told why the 'Co mission had not collected the Avon Chests power hill. "The onus is on the trustee. He failed to carry out the terms of the agreement," he s'ai d. !"There has helve somle inquiries about the fiat rape water heaters!," said Mr. Gekliq g. He then explain- ed the terms, prices, etc., of these heaters and: said the Comnvite:ion would undertake to 'h'andle them if s'ufficien't citizens were interested.

It was hoped by the great majority of our v'o'ters that there would be no election as both !Ute councillors and 'sch'ool trustees were elected by acclamation. and it would have saved considerable money es well as trouble to the 'ratepayers in being called upon to vote and de- cide between friend had the reeve - ship also gone by ,acclamation, as we think it should have done, when there we're no burning issues or very spe- cial matters to attend to.

'W,e are sorry that space will not permit us to particulise on each program, but needless to say all did their parts exceedingly well. A great many parents of the children were present also to enjoy the 'pro- gram. On Thursday evening last lovers of music had a great treat in listening to the , arolina Jubilee Singers in the United C'hii"rch who might be said to have excelled themselves for a couple of hours in giving fine numbers of good old plantation and other songs, delighting an audience that filled the spacious. church and whose only re- gret was when the last number was rendered. The troupe were introduc- ed by the Rev. A. !Sinclair, pastor of the church, who 'briefly referred to the excellent satisfaction the Caro- lina Singers had given wherever they appeared and how they were so fre- quently recalled which spoke for it- self. 'The church was beautifully de- corated for the occasion which was under the auspi'ces of the Sabbath school and did great credit to the committee in charge, and two fine large Christmas trees were the cen- tre of attraction, particularly for the members of the 'Sabbath school, the younger classes being the particular recipients. Santa Claus entered with all the holiday dress an'dparticular charm. As he entered into the church after having put up his reindeers for an hour or so, he was hailed with de- Iight and' rapture and was not long in distributing all that `brought good cheer and happiness to the young peoplje. The proceeds were most gratifying to the Sabbath school as well as affording a fine musical treat. Christmas Day passed over very 'pleasantly in the village • wi•th favor- able weather, and a large nunvber of visitors spending the day; many com- ing on Saturday by the regular and !special passenger trains, while others carne by autos, so that there was quite a stir in both village and rural districts. The services in the three local churches on Sunday were well '.at- tended and' fine discourses given by the ministers and splendid music by the choirs. At the Unitedur Ch ch, 'services were conducted both morning and es -ening.' by the pastor, Rev. A.

Smillie; evening service: Solo, "O'er Manger Bed," Mrs'. Geo. Hess; solo, "Behold, the Morning Cometh," Mrs. Hedden. 'Special parts in the !anther s were, taken by Mr. W. 0.
