Finlayson, M.P.P., the number of motor cars registered in the County and the number in each of the ve towns. The number of passenger cars in the_count_v is 7,392 and 478 commercial motor vehicles. Of the /towns, Barrie and Orillia come remarkably close together in the number of motors, Barrie having; 22 more passenger cars than Orillia_ but Orillia has 26 more commercial motor vehicles than Barrie. Both towns have more than one car for every ten people. It is rather >si.;ni- cant to nd that of tl1e 7,302 pas- senger cars in the County of Sim-. coe, only 2,689 -were owned in the ve large towns, 4,703 for the rural districts and villages. As these. towns have 33,000 out of the total population of 80,000, this means that the proportion of cars to popu- lation is greater in the country than in the towns, ibein_n._; one car for every ten ,inhabitants in the rural munici-i palities, as against one `car for every 12.40 in the towns.

Mr. Richardson will submit some suggestions aimed at creating` a uniform system of plant- ing shade trees, and also of pruning them, also the removal of dyilnig trees and of undesirable species, of which there are several along` the street lines. If a uniform system of planting` and spacing trees is adopt- ed, even if carried out by degrees, I am satised it will add greatly to the beauty and popularity of the town. 39194 40162 79356 1923! 1422i 2607 2487 3071i 3055; `2R1| -)l) l 3994 2865 3325 1878 2707 3580 2675 1261 2282 1621 1923 1283 7216 6004 7157 8047 '3945 1030 995 578 630 625 549 1453 G50 IKIWANIS MINSTREL | ; SHOW BIG SUCCESS] Local Artists Stage Fine Ente1`ta'111me11t; Two Full Houses.

The magistrate went on to say that he did not want to comment 111)- on the evidence of Benson Morris because he had been sorry to see the attitude of that witness in the box. As for the evidence of Upton, it was strange that if his evidence was correct as detailed, ;: conviction should have been reg'iste\.'eal by the York County magistrate against the proprietor of the Peek Inn on the evidence of the same two operatives. Several of the f.lefOIlCl1'l`LS had ad- mitted purchasing liquor from Brad- bury before. Stephens had even ad mitted that the spotter had been a friend of the family and had "men welcome at his home. This was the \v:\r.='.t example of the callousness of Bradbury. Chatterson, on the other hand, had been the victim of his friendship with Smith and the lat- ter s trust in the ex-bootleg'ger. In this case the count intimated that it would gladly make the ne less if possible. It was far-rfetched for the defence counsel to state that a con- viction would make Caldwell out to be a perjurer in the Dunn case. Stephensand Lahay had no defence except a flat denial on the pant of Mrs. Stephens and she would na- turally do all she could for her hus- band. The court was convinced that it was the success of Bradbury as a . seller that made it possible to buy . so reanlily.

Mr. Statten made :1 strong plea! for leadership among` boys at the critical age, from 14 to 18 years. This is the time when their decisionsi are made and their future decided. If our boys and girls can `be imbued with high ideals and team play dur- ing; this period we need have no fear for the rfuture of Canada.

Tliousamls and thousands date the most important decision in their lives to a boys conference- This is due, not necessarily to the outside speakers, but to the hard work done by the boys workers and to that mass consciousness which the boys feel when brought to;1`ethe-r. The general trend of the conference would be to have the boys take a forward step in the direction of Christian living`. Many boys will take steps in the Jesus way of liv- ing. They will, because they are of an age when one must expect perm-_ anent decisions. If they were over 20 years old I could not say that amd say it hopefully. But actual statistics gleaned from Christian churches show the period from 14 to 18 years of age to be the _:;`rc~at zlvcision time of life. But the fruit- (Continued on page four) ADDRESS BY MRS.

A large g'ather- `ing-` of represen-tative women attend~ led and listened with a great deal of :interest to an inspiring address by `Mrs. (Re\'.) P. A. Nind of Toronto. li\`I1';~:. Nind spoke on the difference between service and serving". The service of C'l1r.ist made us sit at the feet of Christ, she said, with the .hea1't of Mary and the hand.s of Martha. The W.A. called large numbers of women tog'ether in the `service of the Master. The activities of the large group, both along ma- terial lines and in prayer was vastly more effective than the individual s. Speaking of the W.A. motto, Mrs. Nind said that it was the love of Christ that took the self out of ser- vice. It supplied the motive power of the organization and reminded the members that they must show forth that love in their own lives. The speaker then went on to deal with the objects of the W.A. People shouldnot hold back from joining the organization because they can- not attend all the lneentinigs. T.hey can help and they will be helped in turn even tlrough they only manage to attend a few. Neither should one hold out because of inability to sew. There were innumerable other things that person could do instead of sewing". Many could t them- selves into the girls work and jun- ior work who could do little along other lines. uuuun uupu.
