KEEPING SCRUB STOCK Is WASTE OF FODDER Mr. John Gardhouse advocates conâ€" certed attack on nondescript sires. 1 In his presidential address at the annual meeting of the Ontario Catâ€" tle Breeders‘ Association held last Thursday at the hotel Carlsâ€"Rite, Mr. John Gardhouse declared that the catâ€" tle business in Canada, and in Onâ€" tario, was in a very flourishing conâ€" dition. Foundation stock, in all brecds, was selling higher than ever before. On the other hand, Mr. Gardnouse said, feed was selling at an unpreâ€" vedented figure, and it was na@;flng but sheer waste of valuable fodd.~ to be feeding nondescript animals. USâ€" ing this as the basis of his remarks, Mr. Gardhouse made a vigorous plea for hearty coâ€"operation of all \the members in furthering the plan for the elimination of scrub sires. In:. this matter Mr. Gardhouse was supported by. Prof. Wade Toole of| the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, and R. W. Reek of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. T ML 7 & Noae oR i Pode Acain en bewa es Prof. Toole stated that, in visitâ€" ing the Union Stock Yards on one occasion this week he had been disâ€" gusted with the quality of the stock to be seen there. The elimination of serub sires would go far towards improving this state of affairs. It was announced that. the _ Assoâ€" ciation would be in receipt of a Proâ€" vincial grant of $1500. for the furâ€" therance of its business. wESTON VOLUNTEER FIRE BRIGADE ANNUAL REPORT Following is the report of the Wesâ€" ton Volunteer Fire Brigade for.

Myr. Pritchard, Treasurer, acted in the Clerk‘s place.. After the reading of the minutes were approved, the corâ€" respondence was read. Dr. C. Brown, of Toronto, wrote asking the Council if they would pay the rent for the house occupied by Fred Hands, who is under quarantine for some time. This request was made as the town were paying: other . expenses, she thought that they â€"should pay this acâ€" count also. The council did not see it that way and as a result this money will have to be ‘eollected from other sources. CoOMMUTATION RATES TAKE ATTENTION OF THE COUNCIL At the regular 'meeting of the Westâ€" on Town Council held Monday night The appeal from the Sanitorium for funds, voiced by Mr. Gage, was given consideration and the sum of $25.00 given to this worthy cause, Communication from the Clerk for an increase in salary on account of the great increase in costs and the extravagant amount. of work in the town‘s affairs. This matter was left over till all the niembers of the counâ€" cil would be present and discuss the question. Application from Mr.: Jas: Clark for the position of assessor was received. As this was the only apâ€" plication and as Mr. Burrage, the former assessor, would not take the position, the necessary byâ€"law . was passed appointing Mr. Clark as asâ€" sessor for the year 1920 at the sum of $300.00 for the work. An appeal was read from Mr. Williamson callâ€" ing upon the . coâ€"operation of â€"all councils and citizens to buy Canadian. made goods and keep down the imâ€". portation of unnecessary articles. This is the result of the high exchange. _ The Council settled with the Dicken family for the sum of $145.00. This sum goes as follows, to the child $100, Doctor $25.00, law costs $20.00. This was the case where the little girl fell on the sidewalk of the town and broke her arm. The firemen presented their annual report to the Council which was a very creditable showing for the year. The details are. on another page. Apâ€" plication was made to have the town fake over Victoria Ave. This matter did not meet with a very welcomed reception but will be fully discussed at the next meeting. Mr. Gibson wrote asking that the town complete the improvement of Eagle Ave. to the 5th in coâ€"operation with the York Counâ€" N cil. â€"It was agreed by both Councils that they would fix this road up. Our Council are willing to do their. part and will interview the York Township Council as to their part. As the Mayor and Councillor Bell had to catch the evening train for Otâ€" tawa, the matter of commutation tickâ€" ets an‘d improved service on the radial line was introduced by the Mayor. He pointed out that as he had several of our citizens draaw his attention to the incréease in <the commutation rates to go into effect on March 1st. This would be a detriment to the town. He therefore had the solicitor write to the Board and make an appointment with the Railway, Board to hear this matter," ‘This was . done. , and the meéeting will be held about the middle of this month. The council instructed the ‘Solicitor to make the necessary applications for the hearing on the question of the rates and also for the ‘petterâ€"service on the radial. The reâ€" quest will be made for an interchange of the tickets from the two railways or a 55 ride ticket for a period of three months or 40 rides good for two months on the one railway. or good for one month on the one railway at 7.00 or a real suburban train service with a stop at Mount Dennis. The extra cars on the radial line will also be heard. This will bring up the whole service on the electric railway. It was ‘ pointed out that under the new rates that are said to go into effect on the ist of the month it will not be posâ€" sible for a number of persons now usâ€" ing the train‘ to pay the increased rates. â€" This "will increase the street railway traffic and will also prove a detriment to Weston, untess the Board will grant them some ‘redress and force the suburban to carry out the order of the Ontario Railway Board. | The Mayor will have a talk with the Board while in Ottawa on the other â€"I business. The question of smoke masks for the firemen was presented by ‘Wm. Shiell for the firemen. It was decidâ€" ed that the property committee should look into the detail and merits of the Mr. Cousin presented facts that the Commission felt that the town should instal an Auxiliary plant at the water works for pumping in case there was any interruption in the hydro power,. The cost for installing this engine would amount to about $500. It would make the town independant of the hydro in case there was no power OT a fire. â€" As it is now, with the amount of ice in the tanks, the pressure is low. Early in the morning it runs down to about 35 lbs, This would put the town in badly if the power was off and there was a fire. 3 masks and get two if necessary Mr. Peirson, Secretary of the Comâ€" mission, in speaking of the need also drew attention to the need for econâ€" omy. He also pointed out that so far the town had got along very well. No great fire had occurred and in all cases the pressure had been very good. The Council will take up the question again at the next meeting. The report of the Rev. Hughesâ€" Jones on the postal situation . was presented. ; It showed that the town could hardly expect a postal delivery according to the way that the postak deliveries are given out. The report, however, showed that we were entitâ€" led to a post office building. The full report is given in detail inside. The Council passed motion â€"appointâ€" ing a committee of the Mayor, the Reeve, W. J. Gibson, T. L. Moffatt, Percy Harris, Thos. Griffith and Rev. Hughesâ€"Jones to wait upon the memâ€" ber for the Dominion House to secure a post office here and customs"office. The question of having the office open till 8 p.m. was also â€" discussed at length. It was felt that this should be done. The matter of a mail colâ€" lection in the town will also be gon* into The Council will give‘the same asâ€" sistance to those taking out building permits this year as they gave last year as regards the exemption â€" of taxes. This will be taken up at the next meeting in full. The F‘ire'Chief, James Gardhouse and Pollard were paid their fees fot the yvear 1918 and 1919. BAPTIST CHURCH The annual meeting held on Tuesâ€" day, January 27th, was in many ways a happy and successful one. The reâ€" ports from the various church organâ€" izations, the Sunday School, the Woâ€" men‘s Guild, and the Young People‘s Union, showed that. these departâ€" ments carried on their activities. in a valuable and appreciated manner. The splendid reports give us great promise that "the best is yet to be." The church clerk reported a presâ€" ent membership of 64, being five more than last year. Although a total of 16 had been received throughout the year, the dropping of eight names from the roll and the removal of two by letter andâ€" one by death reduced our reported net increase in a marked way. A summary of the church tfreasurâ€" er‘s report shows that for all purposes the sum of $1710.21 passed through the treasury,. The entire receipts of the Sunday School amounted . to $352.42, of which $80 went to misâ€" sion work in Bolivia and $93 to the church mortgage. Other contribuâ€" tions through the Women‘s Guild and Young People‘s Union amounted to $58.41,. giving a grand aggregate through allâ€"agencies of $2121.04, a sum greatly in excess of any former year. It should be said to the glory of God that not a cent of all the above moneys was raised by suppers, rumâ€" ma,?e sales, or any other questionable method so much in vogue toâ€"day for. the financing of church enterprises. f We have no schemes for raising monâ€" ‘ ey. Every branch of our service for Christ is supported entirely by the voluntary offerings of the people who worship with us. The Council adjourned The , regular meéeting of Young People‘s Association of the Methodist Church was held on Monday night under the auspices of the Missionary Department and in spite of the disâ€" agreable weather was. very well atâ€" tended. The President occupied the chair and conducted the routine busiâ€" ness. The opening prayer was given by. Rev. Stewart. A paper on Paul‘s work and travels, read by Miss Davâ€" idge, and a musical programme, conâ€" sisting of a vocal number by Mrs. Cross and chorus singing, provided. a very interesting meeting.
