Thornton Would Like Light, Too `Thereris an old saying misery likes company" so perhaps it will be of some. consolation to our Phelpston friends to know that the C.N.iR. are still using the oil lamps here. The Hydro was installed in Thornton ten years ago this month and while our village trustees have done their best to get the Hydro at the station they have not suc- ceeded. A few years ago when\ the Canada Grain Co. installed their el- ectric chopper it was. necessary to run the wires over C.N.R. property and we thought sure the lights would be put in the station. In fact the Supt. promised to put them in the next year, but that time hasn't come yet. Thornton is the only place between Allandale and Tor- onto on this division that has the Hydro in the town and not in the station, yetgwe have two trains com- ing in every evening after dark during the winter months and it is very rarely if ever, that someone does not get off or on. One visitor from a. large American city was heard to remark that It is :1 won- der the engineer didn't take" the `station light for a` cigar stub and so on." We hope. when Phelpston geiis the lights theywill tell us how it is done. an- .. wcun-cuu WJLU LIICIJUS II] .D'd.I'I'leu The Misses Smith have left Le- troy to spend the winter in Toronto. Mrs. R.

On Tuesday, children's day. the weather was not good; in fact a light rain kept tailing most of the day but this did not stop the schools and their teacherstrom turning out better than ever before.

It formed at the Elmvale school grounds and. headed by the Barrie Band, march- ed to the fair grounds and after passing for inspection before the judges, the children were grouped in front of the grand stand where they listened to short addresses from the local clergymen and others. The principal address was from the Hon. William Flnlayson, who at the close declared the Fair officially opened. An afternoon of sports was then commenced, the children of the various schools taking part in the sports. The horseshoe pitching contests for men were keenly play- ed and some very fine pitching was done.

Mr. Oulton owned an island in the harbor at Alberton, and here it was possible to give the foxes more freedom. He tried constructing pens of wire netting. The rst ones were built upon the island in 1894, according to an official bul- letin of the Canadian Silver Fox Breeders Association, and it was in one of these that the rst litter of silver foxes was raised to ma- turity in captivity.

As an industry silver fox farm- ing in Canada is little more than 50 years old`. Fifty-ve years ago it existed only as an idea in the head of an` unnamed Prince Ed- ward `Island-er, who was promptly d-ubbed Colonel Blackfox by his friends and laughed out of court. Fifty years ago it was a little near- er actuality. "Benjamin Heywood of Tigniish, at the northern point of the Garden of the Gulf. bought a. pair of young silvers, which had been dug` out of the woods. and commenced trying to raise their progeny in captivity.
