That the thief was bent only on securing a supply of cigarettes for- his own use is established by the fact that he had access to the-entire stock of tobaccos, cigars and thousands of other cigarettes, pipes, etc.. which were left as they were. The cash` register drawer was open when Mr. Hamlin discovered his. loss Friday morning. That there was only one. thief connected with the job was ev- idenced by the foot tracks in the_ snow.

Branch, was held in the Police Court j Chambers and officers were appoint- ned and by-laws drafted, followed `by |a meeting of the Executive Commit- tee, when a large canvassing commit- tee was appointed, as a result` of whose efforts 579 members were en-! lrolled. On Mar. 19, Miss Neve ar-I rived to take up the duties of Vic~} torian Order Nurse, and was with us} |until June 30, when her resignation- !was accepted and Miss Laycock ar- rived to take over the duties of nurse. I will not touch upon the work so, faithfully and creditably done during; {the year by both nurses, as this is" now well known to not only the mem- I bers of the Executive but to the pub-, .lic generally. Theraison d etre for? } our organization has been conclusive-! I ly justied and is becoming increas-, ingly evident and we need no argu-3 :ment for our" continued existence. ! Sick, needy individuals have been vis- iited and helped to such an extent I that this side of the work alone war- {ranted the expenditure we have in- curred. The educational work done, {was valuable and is bearing, fruit,` * and the other helpful activities of our-I organization are making themselves | felt. We have no apologiesto make gnor is defence needed. We wouldi are still in -evidence and to all who! are lukewarm, join our organization: and be convinced as to the value of] the work done.

Forty-seven rinks par- 5 ticipated and had it not been for the I Tankard nals being set for Monday,| the- entrants would` have at least equalled the 52 of a couple of years ago. A comparison of the rinks par- ticipating with those in former years shows that a great majority of those I from outside were men who had been here before, which speaks highly for |the management of the local spiel.| IWhen the play opened on Monday} jafternoon, conditions were all that. :could be desired. The extreme cold Shad facilitated building up the ice ! at the skating rink and the ve sheets {there were in ne shape. When the ltemperature rose above freezing `point, Tuesday morning,.it made the! [going pretty sticky at the curling i r-ink, though it remained fairly keen I at the skating arena until late in the iafternoon owing to the high roof.` PSemi-nals and nals in both com- `petitions were played at the skating rink, but even there the ice became} [pretty heavy and made curling more. , like hard work than amusement.
