[ Wednesday, Febntary 14, 1945 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE .i. We regret that thousands of applicants liavc had to "line up" for telepliune service. Telephone equipment has liccn critically short because tliis is a "communications" war. And of course the armed forces, the government and war industries still move automatically to the head of the line; their needs come first. Only as material becomes available for less urgent needs can we take care of our waiting list, and on a first-come-first-served basis. We realize it's no fun having to "stand in line" this way. Applicants have been surprisingly cheerful about it â€" a fact we deeply appreciate. We just want them to know tliat we will be every bit as glad as they when we can once again meet every request for telephone service â€" fully and promptly. CEYLON Mr. and Mrs. Huston and Archie and Ruth of London spent the week end at the home of Mr. Peter Muir. Mrs. Jas. McMullen Jr. spent last week end visting friends in Toronto. Mrs. Gto.

KEEP UQUOR BOOK IT'S STICKER JOB A warning to liquor permit hold- era not to destroy their present booksi, because they are to be renew- ed this year instead of issuing new books, was given this week by W. G. Webster, qhief liquor commissioner. 'On April 1, when the old books run out, a sticker costing $1 will be pasted in the old books makinig them valid for 1945. Since these books cost six cents each and there are over 1,500,000 of them this will be, a saving of $90,000, Mr. Webster siaid. Goetoibels and the Japs notwith- standing, this time the Allies intend to fight it out until there is hope of an enduring peace. (Barrie Examiner) If members of municipal councils can vote pay for themselves, why cannot school trustees, who are al- so performing a public service, do likewise? This question came up at the annual meeting of a school sec- tion in Toronto Township, when the ratepayers voted an honorarium of $150 to each of the three trustees'. One member of the board, who was not present at the meeting, declined to take any pay, giving as his rea- son that it would not be in accord with the spirit in which he volun- teered his senrices. But aside from that altogether is the fact that the Municipal Act makes no provision for paying school trustees. It pro- vides only for payment of council members. Municipal treasurers have no authority to make payments other than those set out in the Act.
