THE No Good Reason "Why Menl Shculd ' Shun Public Life, States Rev.

Criticism Excuse Overworked Says _9l_eric Ailnaugurall To Erect Snow Fence vn;. To Charge in Future UV 090 Rev. Mr. Shortt said he considered it tting that church and state should co-operate in a common work, for whatever the duty_ of the state, it al- ways had a, moral signicance. Those `elected had a prestige in the community and they were entitled to take some .pride in their election. It was a mark `of condence in them as public spirited men. It was an even higher honor to be elected` the chief magistrate of one s community, but the honors could be enhanced by the Imanner in which duties were carried out, just. as Paul had said: Rulers who" rule well are worthy of double honor. , I " i A vote of thanks to the Rev.

Gareld `Rouse, President, Irwin McMahon I i GA.-`Ln.-o OI: The long delayed case of the Royal Victoria Hospital vs James Booth has been set down for trial before Judge Wismer on Monday next, Jan. 21. This announcement was made by .Frank Hammond at the monthly meeting of I the Hospital Board, Monday afternoon. 'This action is to recover the sum of ,$390, being the balance of a hospital` bill for services rendered Albert Woods, (then 17 years old), son of Fred Woods, Craigvale, who was injured `by a rifle shot on Hallowe en, 1925, when a number of young men paid a noisy visit to the farm of the de- fendant. It is claimed by the Hospital that Woods was admitted upon the instructions of Booth's agent. T1 in 'nnccih1n fin.-u+ `lnnd Tlrn...-I- t.. i i nnnn vs \A\4VA\ll..lLl UL JJUUULJD a45C11\A.

If it is decided to keep the county free of debentum debt, as it is at present, a half-mill increase: may be necessary. Either that or car- ry an overdraft. It is expected that the new building, for which tenders {have been called, will cost $35,000 to $40,000. The former gure is the arch- litect s estimate, but does not include iheating.

This proposition is a bigger and better thing than you have ever had put before you," he concluded. Hogs from all over the county will be shipped bytrail or trucked in here. It will bring hundreds to Barrie who do not now come. I would say that 75 per cent. of the hogs will be brought in by truck." What Happened Collingwood? Aid.
