However, 1 was still unable îo locate bîîn. One neighbour narned jennifer called to aleri me that she believed Ebony was around ber bouse, and then followed up with me later in the day îo sec if Idfund bim. She was sad to ha ehadn'î been reunited. 1 continued searching every day for him, hoping that he would respond 10 my whisîles and calîs, or maybe even find hus own way borne. Afîer our 13- year fniendship, I was devastated to think that Ibis could be how things would endl.

JOHN DINNER HOLY ROSARY CATHOUC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 'rime Capsules' are gems of infor- mation extracted finm past issues of Thse Champion and other publications in order to provide a window into Miltonk past. Explanatory comment is sometimes provhded to place the situa- tion in context. September 1907 Several complainîs bave been rnade to Thse Champion ibis week about tbe town durnp on the side of the road and bilI near tbe old cerne- îery (Broute St.). Rags and paper fly across tbe road wben the wind blows frous tise nortb-east, frigbîening borses so tisat tiseir drivers find it bard 10 make thiise pass the spot. On account of tise steep iliI and crooked, unfenced track, the place is an awkward and dangerous one for a runaway. A (armer ays that somte tixne ago lie counted aine rolla of putrid bacon there. In short, the dump is a public nuisance for which lise corporation lnay be put on ils defence. Tise town authonties shoulti make arrangements for a cleaning up, a big bonfire heiow tise bull and for strict supervison in the future. Until lately tihe people of Hornby neigbboursood were well satisfied witb tise accommodation given theus by tise *C.PR. Thse Gueiphs speciai stopped there at about 9 a.m. and camred practicaily ail passengers and express parcels for Toronto. Under tise new arrangement this train starts (rom Godencs, reacbes Milton at 10:02 a.m. and does not stop at Hornby Étber going es in tise morning or returning west i tise evening. Homby passengers for tise east can get no train until sisortiy after Il a.m. mnd returning bave to leave Toronto at 4:15 p.m. No express parcels go by any otiser trains. A prominent Hornby mnan was in Milton yesterday te look into tise ternis of the bond given by tise Credit Valley Railway Co. to tise County of Haiton in consideration of tise bonus of $75,00given by thsecounty to tise company. Tise C.ER. baving absorbed tise C.VR. must, it is claimed, carry out tise conditions of tise bond, mnd if these provide for more accommodation aI Hornby than is given, tise county council wiil Time Capsules be asked to take action.
