In other words he would organize and hold a Community Chest drive every Auâ€" tumn. Every business place and home in the town and township would be thoroughly canâ€" vassed, much on the same basis as the Red Cross campaign. The lum; sum of money thus secured would be divided pro ratio among the various organizations concerned. Councillor Erwin Phelps has come to the front with an idea that is worth considering, in view of the fact that the city and county officials do not deem it necessary to provide sufficient funds for the carrying on of organâ€" izations that are really municipal bodies. He suggests that all tag days be prohibited and in their place a sort of Community Chest idea be worked out. As an example, Why should the officials and voluntary committee people behind the Children‘s Aid Society be compelled to hold tag days all over the city and county in order to keep the Society floating. This Society is an out and out city and county institution and should be wholly surported by funds from the two municipalities. _ of only partially as at present. Then every person in the two municipalities would be paying their share of the costs, through their taxes. There is no doubt that the tag day reâ€" ceipts, on the whole have taken a decided dnp.boeuultl-tbcumroplowumd over again who get grabbed.

For the first time a real scientific investigation was reâ€" cently held into the subject, and it has shown up some surprising facts. We have been told that fried meat and fried potatoes and fried eggs were the most indigestible and unsuitable of human foods. Every disease from total blindness to mumps were caused by excessive use of these oldâ€"fashioned delicacies. Some historâ€" ians of the American Civil War even claimed that the defeat of the South was due to the Southerners‘ incurable habit of eating fried chicken and hot biscuits and other foods of the deepâ€"fat school of cooking. For quite some years dictitians and others who claim to know, have been telling us that the frying of food was most injurious to health and a practice that should be imâ€" mediately discontinued. Otherwise, we would lose our stomachs, and a man without a stomach is indeed to be pitied. Confirmation of our true national spirit will be forthcoming in the Ninth Victory Loan campaign.

Continuing in a northerly direction on the builtâ€" up portion of land, the track crossed a bridge at a point where the creek separated to the north and cast (as it were), until it reached the lake beach, then it turned east on the sand strip (along a row of willow trees) until it reached the present outlet, where it crossed over another bridge. ‘Then a double track continued east to the old grain house at the foot of Maple Avenue then turred north and entered upon the old pler, which was built of timber and flled with stones and had five cribs extending out into the Leaving the park property, the track continued northward, through the "flats" and properties of the late George Hughes, Joseph Graisley and Walt.

Leaving the turntable there was a double track or switch leading westward, to a blacksmith shop or repair shop, midway in that block on the south side of the road, where repairs were made to cars and the tools of the quarry were tempered for the drill work, when blasting. From that shop a single track continued westâ€" ward, on the south side of the road, and turned north on Mountain street, on the west side of the road to Main street, where there was another short switch; then a single track:crossed ‘Main street in a northwesterly direction to the east side of Elizaâ€" beth street and continued along the side of the two plank walk, on the cast side, until it reached the G.T.R. subway, then under that bridge the track crossed northwesterly again before it reached the south gates of the Farrell home on the west side of Elizabeth street, then continued along the west side of the road to a point about one hundred yards south of the old bridge that crosses the Forty creek, then crossed the road again in a northwesterly dirâ€" ection, to the north west section of Victoria Park and along the bank of the creek, where a break water was built to protect the bank of the track Huge stones were carried on the cars to the lake by their weight and commenced their run, manâ€" ned by an expert car driver who controlled the cars speed by the hand brake.
