(It was moved by C. Lorne Fraser, seconded by W. R. Martin, that Reeve Wm. G. Jackson be elected Chairman. Moved by Reeve Jackson, seconded by C. Lorne Fraser that J. A. L McPherson be appointed viceâ€" chairman, and moved by J. A. L Mcâ€" Pherson, seconded by John Armstrong, that S.; Barratt be elected Secretary. The Secretary was authorized to proâ€" cure a seal also instructed to write the directors to find out if any provision has been made for a returned soldier or resident who has already purchasâ€" ed a house and made a small payment thereon being able to procure the balâ€" ance of the purchase money from the Commission. An application has been: made for a loan of $200,000 as Etobiâ€" coke‘s grant fro mthe Government. It was decided to advertise a special meeting for Saturday, June 21st, for the purpose of receiving applications for loans, plans, etc. The meeting then adjourned. The Islington Pastime Club held . a successful dance at the West Toronto Masonic Temple on the evening of June 11th, with a goodly number presâ€" ent. . The orchestra rendered excelâ€" lent music and a very enjoyable time was spent. w The W. A. Conference in connecâ€" tion with the Deanery of Peel will beâ€"held at St. George‘s Church on Thursday, Jure 19th. The morning session opens at 10.30, with a comâ€" munion service followed by a missionâ€" ary address.. The afternoon session opens at 2 p.m. Addresses on Forâ€" ward Movement work will be given. A cordial invitation is given to all 12â€" dies to attend. % i Mr. Harold Wright of Brown‘s Line gave an informal dance at his home for the Young People‘s Club of Humâ€" berside Collegiate last week. The evâ€" ening was very much enjoyed by the members of the club and other fritnds present, Foolish spending is the father of poverty. Do not be ashamed of hard work.. Work for the best salaries and wages you can get, but work for half price rather than be idle. Be your own master, and do not let society or fashion swallow up your individuality. Do not eat up or wear out all you earn. Compel your selfish body to spare something for profit‘s sake. Be stingy to your own appetite, but merciful to other‘s necessities. Help others, and ask no help for yourself. See that you are proud. Let your pride be of the right kind. Be too proud to wear a coat you cannot buy; too proud to be in company that you cannot keep up with in expenses; too proud to lie, or steal, or cheat; too proud to be stingy; in short, be a man of integrity and individuality. ‘ In the article re tag day last week it was very indistinct aboutâ€" the amount. The school children collectâ€" ed over $12.00 and the total was $200.â€" 08. There was a special collection of $101.00. 5 If the parents are as considerate as Mr. Mole, they will then, after the midday meal, let the children have a rest in the afternoon, then they can enjoy the cool of the evening beforée retiring for the night. Mr. Mole is alâ€" ways trying in every way to consider the welfare of the school children and we do hope the parents will thoroughâ€" ly appreciate this act of his,. Of course, one or two may complain about it beâ€" ing too long for the children without a meal but surely they can have a light lunch with them or a little fruit and it will be so much to the benefit of the children that no parents will grudge the earlier breakfast or the later dinner. New Toronto School Beginning on Wednesday, the 18th, our school will open at 8 o‘clock in the morning and with one recess {will close for the day at 1 o‘clock. This is the first time we have heard of such a ‘thing being done by a principal and we are sure the parents and pupils will appreciate the wonderful thoughtfulâ€" ness on the part of Mr. Mole. At nine o‘clock, the usual time of opening, the heat of the day is just beginning and the scholars by two o‘clock are ready to go to sleep. From 8 till 9 it is cool and so Mr. Mole has hit upon this exâ€" cellent plan of utilizing this cool hour and then letting the children home for good at one o‘clock. The weather, so far, has been unusually hot and it is trying for both scholars and teachers. The tracks are being moved at last. Unfortunately, the men walked out at noon after working only half a day. They insist uf)on 40 cents an hour and were getting 35 cents. So until the Ra:â€" dial Board make terms the tracks will not be finished. This is worse than ever. A job urgently wanting doing is bad enough, if not begun, but the same job, begun and left not complet: ed, is worse. Let us hope the men and their employers will agree, soon and let us get our tracks moved. i We are sure there are some old Glasgow and district people residing in New Toronto and neighborhdod. These people will be interested to know that there has been an association formed in Toronto of those coming from Glasâ€" gow and the district. . This association \has already almost 1,000 members,and the qualification to join is the fact of belonging to dear old Glasgow or withâ€" in 20 miles of it. In the summer the association has picnics every month and in the winter dances and concerts, and as all Glasgow follg,s know, these are thoroughly enjoyable owing to the good fellowship which ekists among old country people. The membership fee is small and there is also a choral society being formed under the leadâ€" ership of our old Glasgow tenor, John Noeill. Anyone interested can ‘have particulars from Mrs. Cléeman, Middleâ€" drift, Lake Shore Drive. Mr. Hucker‘s new premises are nearâ€" ly completed. He will then have a fine large confectionery store and ice cream parlor, which will be a great asset to us. The Ladies‘ Orange Lodge will hold a box social and concert on Friday evening, June 25th, in the Lodge room of the Municipal Buildings. . Anyone wishing to join will be cordially inâ€" vited to be present. LONG BRANCH NEW TORONTO ISLINGTON A soldier returned from the war was relating to an acquaintance an account of the very hospitable treatment acâ€" corded the Canadian soldiers by the people of the Oldâ€"Country, which imâ€" pressed him very favorably as he had never visited the old land before, but he added, for all that the Australian and New Zealanders were the prime favourites with the old Country peoâ€" | ple. Why? asked ‘ the acquaintance. ; ‘‘Well," said the soldier, "T‘ll tell you | whai a lauy.said to myself once when i this question was being discussed in a ,‘I‘ricndly way at her home. Yes, the f Anzacs are no doubt favourites with i us, because you see they are British fxom the crown of the ucud to the sole The shooting of Mr. Pettinger, of the Victoria Industrial School on Satâ€" urday by one of the boy inmates causâ€" ed a feeling of horror through the town on Sunday when the news got abroad and many expressions of symâ€" pathy were made on behalf of the inâ€" jured man. It is alleged that the boy made a determined attempt to injure Mr. Pettinger and shot with intent to kill, Coming as it does, immediately after the McCullough episode, one is led to wonder how much the ‘great publicity given to the McCulloch case and the extraordinary amount of misâ€" placed sympathy shown to the murdâ€" er without evidently considering the death of Williams, the murdered man, influences the crimes of such boys as Gallanger, who probably regard such men as McCulloch as heroes. When a murder is committed the penalty is death and the murderer knows it and if there is any sympathy to spare, the sympathy should go to the near relaâ€" tives of the murdered one and the maudlin sentiment. which inspires sympathy with the murderer should ‘be discouraged. The news of the successful flight across the Atlantic made by Capt. Alâ€" cock and Lieut. Brown was a joyful surprise to many who had no knowâ€" ledge of the preparations being made by whese daring aviators. Another triumph for old England and Britishâ€" ers, the world over to rejoice with the Britishers at home in the capture of the great prize by an Englishman and a Scotchman,. A sixteen nour trip to the Old Country is something beyond the dream of Jules Verne, At the Court of Revision held in the Library Hall on Monday evening at which Mayor West presided, a ni@mâ€" ber of appeals against the assessment of their respective properties were made by owners of Mimico, boph resiâ€" dent and nonâ€"resident. Y A Cadets Reviewed The Cadets of the Victoria Indusâ€" trial School of Mimico were reviewed last week by Lt. Col. Barker, v.C. Eighty of the older boys wore the regâ€" ulation uniform of the Public School Cadets, consisting of red coats and blue trousers, made by the boys of the school in the tailoring department, The smaller boys wore khaki blouses. }About 148 boys took part in the drill, an insufficient number of rifles keepâ€" \ing a number of the boys from taking ‘part. At the conclusion of the inspecâ€" tion the guests retired to the assembly hall, where a brass tablet was unveiled in memory of the late Herbert Mason, a former director of the school, from whose bequest an excellent swimming pool was erected at the school in 1915. Mrs. Mason, assisted by her son, Major Douglas Mason, who recently returned after four years‘ service overseas, unâ€" veiled the tablet. But quite the most interesting part of the afternoon was when the guests gathered on the lawn for tea, and Mr. Beverly Jones, presiâ€" dent of the Industrial Schools Associaâ€" tion, celebrated his eighteenth birthâ€" day, cut the huge birthday cake baked for him by the boys, and presented every one of the guests.and boys with a slice. d 10 Sitting around om the grass, the hoys enjoyed the picnic tea that they had prepared, and were complimented by the guests for the delicious food; which was worthy of the best caterers. Mr. Chester Ferrier, superintendent of the school, and Mr. Jones, made brief speeches, in which they spoke of the splendid work accomplished by the boys in different branches of trade, and of the progress they were makâ€" ing. The farm also came under inâ€" spection, and showed some good work in the growing of vegetables. Some 800 boys of the Industrial School were with the C. E. F., and from all acounts‘ proved themselves excellent soldiers. There are about 320 boys in the school at the present time. Mrs. S. Watts and daughter are visitâ€" ing friends at Earlscourt. Mr. and Mrs. Durnham have moved to Regina. Since last week‘s edition on the subâ€" ject of the stoney beach at stop 14, the lake has gone down several inches, exposing some of the worst rocks. There is still room for improvement. Mr. and Mrs. A. Pearce and chilâ€" dren are visiting Mr. and Mrs. F. Bolâ€" ton of Simpson Ave., Mimico. The new bridge may be completed almost any month now, as several men have been observed near there acting as if they might be working on it, and some wooden structures have been erected. Last Saturday evening the condition of the bridge over the Mimico Creek resulted in the stopping of all cityâ€" bound traffic for fifteen minutes. By that time there was a lineâ€"up from the bridge to the curve of the road past stop 15, a distance of nearly a mile. 12% MIMICO TEAs good tea Sold only in sealed packages REDROSE 24 Years the same "good" tea _ Also a water main on the Lake Shore Road from Mimico Avenue to Louisa Street and intends to assess the sum of eighty cents per foot frontage upon the lands abutting upon each side of the said street upon which the said water main is located, under the provisions of Ontario Statutes 7, Geo. 5, Chapter 77, and of the Local Imâ€" provement Act. A Court of Revision will be held on the 16th day of June, 1919, at 8.00 p. m. at the Mimico Pubâ€" lic Library building for the purpose of hearing complaints against the proâ€" posed assessment or the accuracy of frontage measurements and any other complaint which persons interested may desire to make and which is, by law, cognizable by the Court.

If McCullough‘s first escape set an exâ€" ample for the boys of this school, sureâ€" ly his ultimate fate should prove a warning. Take notice that the Court of Reâ€" vision will sit at the Public Library building, Mimico, at 8.30 p. m. on the 16th day of June, 1919, to hear and determine the appeals filed against the assessment roll of the Municipality of Mimico, for the year 1919. Dated at Mimico this the 3xd day of June, 1919. Take notice that the Municipal Corâ€" poration of the Town of Mimico has constructed sewers on Main Street, Symons Street and Burlington Street and intends to assess the sum of 75c per foot frontage upon the iands abutâ€" ting on each side of that part of the said streets upen which the said sewâ€" ers are located, under the provisions of Ontario Statutes 6, Geo. 5, Chapter 80, and of the Local Improvement Act. ___â€"_ Instructor Shot by School Boy W. E. Pettinger, sports instructor at the Victoria Industrial School, lies in Grace Hospital in a seriously wounded condition from a rifle shot fired at him at midnigHt last Saturday when, with other officials of the school, he. was attempting to round up three boys who had run away from the school in the morning.. Cyrus Gallanger, of Wiâ€" arton, who shot the instructor, stole the rifle from Frank Merdon, a returnâ€" ed soldier living with Mr. W. Livingâ€" stone, whose home is about a mile northwest of the school. The soldier also had a pair of boots and a new suit of clothes stolen by the boy, who, when finally caught, were in a disrepâ€" utable state, They were valued at about $50.. Mr. Livingstone states that $100 was stolen. The boys denied the stealing of the money but when quesâ€" tioned told several places where the money was hid. These places were searched but no trace of the money was found. Gallanger was sent to the school for stealing but was parolled on a farm home after spending a year and a half at the school. Here he was again found guilty of stealing and of setting fire to an outhouse, and as he was considered a menace around the house, he was returned to the school. After three months at the school, he made this dash for freedom. He is considered to be mentally defective. After Gallanger had got away he was joined by Ian Josh and Alfred Gimâ€" perly, who had escaped on a pretence of not feeling well and had, therefore, been allowed freedom from work. Gimperly returned to the school beâ€" fole the shooting but Josh joined GAlâ€" langer in the woods. When caught they were turned over to the police. This is the first time in the history of the school that shooting has been used to aid an escape. Dated at Islington the 2nd day of June, 1919. _ The Mimico Industrial School was really never intended for a home for menl#ally defective boys. * MUNICIPALITY OF MIMICO Miss Janet Jiles, of Vanevery St., had a close call on Monday evening whilst out , for a swim at ‘Mimico Beach. It is supposed that the girl was seized with cramp and was imâ€" mediately rescued. Dr. Serson was sent for in a hurry and shortly afterâ€" wards the girl was taken to her home. of the foot, whilst we get the idea that the Canadians are more Yankeefied than the British and even their money is dollars and cents, where the Anzacs still use the English sovereign as their coin and most of all she concluded, they play cricket and play it well. Well what do you know about that, said the soldier‘s friend. A dog fight in a‘ local ice cream parlor on Saturday evening caused some excitement whilst it lasted, seyâ€" eral tables being upset and a number of fair patrons who were enjoying the coolers, made a hurried exit, The owners of the pups managed to seperâ€" ate them and peace reigned once more.
