This was a spe- cial benefit concert, and there was no charge made for the theatre.

Mr. Sweet adds that as there were 825 seats occupied, the average amount given by each person present was only a small fraction over six cents. Against this he quotes the time given by the members of the band in rehearsals and practices, to say nothing of the concerts themselves. As the expenses at Kirk- land Lake run around $30.00 for each concert, it is easy to see that the band does not profit much.

Lethbridge Heraldzâ€"A Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church down in On- tario tells ministers that if they preach for a call, they must be prepared to accept; there's to be none of this mon- key business of preaching for it and then turning it down when it actually arrives. We don’t agree. If a minister preaches so‘ that, a. congregation can size him up why shouldn't he be al- lowed to size up the congregation. And if he doesn‘t like the look of the people or the size of the collection they put on the plate. or the singing of the chair behind him, or the noise of the babies and the snores of the men in front of him he should have the liberty of re- Jecting r. callâ€"Md in the strongest language he wants ~10 use.

Cobalt may not be as lively or crowded with events every evening as Timmins or Kirkland Lake or Schu- macher, but anyone who thinks that there is any town in the North Land that is dead is of the same type as the lad who deserted from the army in France in the late war because he was bored stiff with the monotony and the lack of liveliness. Yes, you're quite right, first time! That fellow was just a common fabricator and a deviator from the truth, and to the son of the fellow who says Cobalt is dead the reply i may well be made, “and so is your old? man!" “1 here as well as skating in the afternoon. Frequently here, there are three. four or seven dances all on the one even- ing. As for fraternal and social or- ganizations there doesn't seem to be an evening in, the week that two or more of them are not meeting. Whe- ther there is any virtue in all this liveliness is open to question. The chief effect seems to be to give people jor mement. Anyway, there has! been a general idea. given out that Cobalt is more or less dead i:hese days. Of course, it may be a. matter of contrast with the lively days that once were in Cobalt. In any case, though. it may well be asked, “How dead is dead in Cc-balt toâ€"day?" Take a look at Cabal“: one day last week. or rather one evening last week.

Consequently during the present year the Govemcr-General would voluntarily contribute an amount corresponding to the general reduction throughout the public service. The Governor-General will contribute voluntarily a proportion of hL'; 1932 salary equivalent to the 10 per cent reduction which is being made through- out the public service. Announcement of this was made in the House of Com- mons last week by Rt. Hon. R. B. Ben- nett, Prime Minister. Mr. Bennett said that recently when the proposed reduction was under con- sideration His Excellency intimated that he wished to make a. voluntary contribution of the Dominion treasury in proportion to the cut. He had, wd Mr. Bennett, taken the Opposite View from that of His Ex- cellency, basing his position on the fact that Governor-Geneml‘s salary was fix- ed by statute. “In police court Fri-day ' morning Slotinsky, who has confessed to a. charge of arson. was again remanded for sentence by Magistrate McKessock."

One Lwitness said that Slotinski was in the taxi stand at 11.30 o'clock, while the night bus driver, George Rangelofl,,ad- mitted that it was 'Slotinski’s nightly habit to ride from the terminal to the garage with him at 12 midnight, and it was possible he did that on the night of the fire. , “At all times during the inquiry George M. Miller, K.C., counsel for Mr. Mason and for the Sudbury Transit: Co., and Mr. Mason himself, stressed willingness to coâ€"operate to the fullest extent with the authorities in probing “The high lights of the probe were the accusations made against W.
