General MacBrien proposed the toast to Fallen Comrades and stated that he had always put forth his best efforts to obtain support for the militia of Canada. eee QO Oe We can afford to let Premier Ferguson alone. The O: T. A. situation in Ontario is as "clear as mud" just now. Whether there is reason to fear the imposition of "government control" upon the Province is difficult to state. We have many prophets, but they seem to be guessers rather than persons of vision, and party bias does much toward painting the picture of the future. It is a shame that this matter is constantly being dragged into politics. * The O.T.A. is law and should be- enforced.

The recent election in West Midlesex seems to be a most unnecessary proceeding. Why should a man who is elected to be a member of Parlia- ment have to undergo the expense and trouble of re-election just because he has ability enough to be a cabinet minister? Why should the country have to go through the turnmoil and expense of this second election? We believe this practice has been discontinued in Great Britain, and there seems to be no reason why it should not be discontinued here. Of course Mr. Elliott was elected by a big majority--2681. ----O00 The Public Library as a War-Memorial. About a year ago now, the War Memorial Com- mittee and Library Board met in conjunction with our Town Councillors: Plans were discussed for the raising of funds to build a Memorial Pub- lic Library to commemorate the lives of those who served and those who paid the supreme sacri- fice in the Great War. It was suggested by the Town Council that the committee raise $2500 during thé summer months "and then appeal to the Council for further help of some kind. This suggestion was accepted, but owing to the deaths of Dr. S. J. Mellow and Mr. P. Figary, all plans were suspended for the time being. We are now desirous of carrying out the plans made a year ago. 'The time has come for an active campaign. Mr. H. G. Hutcheson, a few weeks ago published in this paper, an article which set forth the plans of the proposed building and also the present condition of our finances. We have about $1300 on hand and $300 more promised. This means only $900 to raise in order to obtain the $2500. We feel sure that.-all good citizens will want to have some part in the errection of this Mem- orial. Any contributiens will be gratefully ac- cepted. The ex-service men of this community have re- cently re-organized with a membership of over 100 men. They are keenly interested in this memorial. The Scugog Chapter, LO.D.E.\ have shewn their sympathy by their generous contri- butions. The High School also gave a very fine contribution and many private citizens have signified their willingness to co-operate. With all these forces working together the matter of raising $900 should be an easy victory. The plans for the memorial feature of the Library are receiving careful and lengthy re- flection on the part of the committee and they hope soon to publish a complete and perfect plan. Let us then be up and doing so that the spring of 1927 may see work begun on a Memorial Public Library that will not only be a credit to our town but will help us to hold high the torch.and keep faith with those who sleep in Flanders Fields.
