THURSDAY. DECEMBER 19TH W. E. Brady, of North Bay, has an unusual Christmas on the veranâ€" dah of his home. It is a revolving Christmas tree. The trunk of the tree is set in the hub of an automobile wheel and the latter is made to spin by the use of a small motor. As a reâ€" sult the Christmas tree~turns round and round and being brilliantly lighted with coloured bulbs, it certainly makes an unusual picture. «0+ But nevertheless it does seem that there should be a law against itâ€" especially in North Bay. Imagine A typical North Bay man coming home from a party and seeing that contrapâ€" tion! Once some North Bay men SsaW two moons in the sky and they have never the same since. What would an honest North Bay good scout think on his way home from the party when he would see, not only the gates and the houses going round a little, but a Christmas tree apparently outside and turning round and round?~ The poor North Bay Christmas Tree is Going Round and Round Shirts of the moâ€" ment in styles that can‘t fail to please. _ Palternâ€" ed and plain materials.

TWENTYâ€"FIVE APPEALS FRON l\bbEbSMhNT AT COCHRANE There were no l%.s than 25 appeals against the assessment at Cochrane this week, the number of appeal, and especially those of T. N. 0. employees creating more than usual interest. The T. N. 0. men pointed out to the coult of revision that an agreement for a fixed assessment for them had been in effect for some years. After hearing the details of the matiler the Cochrans council granted the appeals of the T. N. O. employees, placing the assessâ€" ments at former figures. Few other apâ€" peals were granted by the council. » Tre Imperial Oil Co. appealed their busiâ€" ness assessment claiming that they should have been classed as manufacâ€" turers rather than as wholesalers. The court of revision in this case, however, upheld the assessment. The case is expected to be taken before the judg>.

Hospitals Not to Succumb to Highâ€"Pressure Guys A despatch this week from Toront3 says that Ontario public and private hospitals have been warned to refrain | from lending their names to promoters| of fake or unetHical charity drives unâ€"| derâ€" penaltyâ€"of license cancellation. A letter was addressed to all hospitals over the sigrature of Dr. B. T. McGhie, | Deputy Minister of Health, Dr. Mcâ€" Ghie said the warning was issued fol-‘ lowing "complains from the Toron‘o. Business Men‘s Protective Association{ and other individuals," that numerous, small hospitals had been "tools" of prcâ€". moters. One of the most shocking stories to come over the telegraph wires for som® time is that of the horrible death of a sixâ€"monthsâ€"old baby at Washago, the youngster being badly burned through being dropped into the kitchen stove. On account of the condition of the mother it is impossible to learn what happened to the youngsterâ€"whether it fell into the stove from its mother‘s arms or how it came to fall into the fire. The story so far as can be learned until the mother is able to give an atâ€" count herself is tolqg in the following despatch from Orillia yesterday:â€""Mrs. Colin Cudmore, 40â€"yearâ€"old wife of the assistant station agent at nearby Waâ€" shago, slept under a powerful sedative in hospital here toâ€"night while proâ€" vincial police investigated the strange death toâ€"day of her sixâ€"monthsâ€"old boy, Jackie.

"It is gratifying" he staid, "to tell the mem-' bers that transient relief has fallen to such an extent that I have not had many callers at all during the past month." The policy adopted this year by the branch of dispensing with the Christâ€" mas parties for the children and provi_ ding focd and assistance to the exâ€" servicemen‘s families, met with enthuâ€" siastic approval of the members.
