North York police said they did not sce or hear anything, but had several telephone calls about it. Fred Dupuis, 60 Avenue Road, said' he watched the big ball of fire in the sky while walking near Pears Park on Eglinton Ave. He said the meteorite was throwing off bluish-colored flame while travelling from east to north- west, It did not appear to be high in the sky.

PORT PERRY GENERATORS STARTERS FIELD COILS REPAIRED and EXCHANGED BILL TAYLOR :: Proprietor Council Briefs The Council gave the Water Works of Port Perry a thorough going-over and under the chairmanship of "Bill" Chapman, we are going to see some action in regards improving our win- ter water supply. The one big difficulty right now, is whether to do a tem- porary job, or to start on a programme that will give permanent results. The pumping of oxygen into the intake wells will be started in a few days. There is one point which every citizen should know and that is, that we have not received one guaranteed plan to follow from any engineer who worked on this project and that the town. paid out $200.00 for this service. We- have received many suggestions, which ones will work, we cannot say, but "Bill" has already started to try them out, one by ons, What more can anyone do? * bs : A meeting of the "Palmer Memorial Park" committee of the "Chiroprac- tors of America" 'is being held in Toronto on March 3rd, and after this date, Mr. Gerrow will have more and definite information on this project for publication, EE The Council agreed to send a dona- tion of $10.00 to the Salvation Army. ' * * ¥ As soon as our new Engineer, Mr. Sulman, gets his town routes working, the domestic meter readings will be taken near the same date, 'bi-monthly, as possible, . * * J Regarding the parking of automo- biles all night on' the streets, the shovelling of snow from the sidewalks, and the dumping of ashes on the streets, are all being taken up with our Chief of Polige, ¥ o* 0% It is a little early to promise any- thing about cleaning up the shore- line of weeds, but we will try and get some action this summer. * 0% J I know there are going to be a lot of very peeved car drivers when the streets begin to thaw out, but Herb. Brooks is not altogether to blame for this situation. He didn't order the snow, but he's doing the best he can with the equipment he has to work with, Next year I hope he has better equipment--it's going to cost money, but we need it. : .. - --E .G. MICHELL. Dorothy Balfour, vice-president, presided and opened the meeting with A hymn (662) was! an Invocation. sung, after. which Jack Whitmore led in prayer.

It was regretted that owing to an extended illness, the secretary- treasurer, Mr. Reg. Fallis, was unable to be present. Acting in his absence was Mr, Jay Whittington, one of the keen, younger supporters of the Fair. The President reported a very fa- vourable balance, after which he dis- cussed improvements made to the grounds, as well as many more that are needed, The election of officers resulted in the old slate being named for 1945. It was the unanimous decision to hold the fair again this year in June, with the date chosen being Wednesday, June 13th. For the last few years the Millbrook Fair Board, with the co- operation of the stockmen in the di- strict, have held one of the finest horse and cattle shows that has been staged east of Toronto. Some of the reasons for the success are: (a) an enthusiastic Board, (b) the fact that 'an early summer show meets the approval of the people, and (c) the system where- by all livestock ig shown in one ring which is surrounded by seats for the tomfort of the spectators. The Board is also planning to hold its second annual banquet, sometime during the week of April 16th, with the location likely to be the Presby- terian Church, Millbrook. ' Anyone who delights in a good horse and livestock show should mark the date June 13th and plan to spend the day at Millbrook. . od 5 it HA -- Do You Own:a Revolver or Pistol?

'the first letter received was from Bro. Harold Burton in which he said]. . he wanted to be able to continue his work in the Lodge and was looking torward to again attending. He goes on to say: "i want to thank you for your Kindness in including me on your list for Christmas parcels, I'm indeed very grateful, 'I am hoping that it will be my luck to return to the home town again in the very near future, 1 am in line for leave to Canada. It has been a long time. At that time I hope that 1 may be able to be with you all again." "The second letter received was from Bro. Harold Gray, who was wounded in -.the leg while in' action and con- valescing in England: - "Just a few lines to-night wishing to thank you and fellow members of Warriner Lodge 76, for the lovely parcel which 1 received 'to-day. We are having a little winter here now. --It snowed all day yesterday so it has been terribly slippery around to-day. But-no doubt it will rain to-morrow and so take it all away. I hear you have had a lot of 'snow and cold weather this winter. But I guess that is to be. expected. Thank goodness, we haven't got any more here, as we are terribly short of fuel, I hear Merl. Dowson is here but I have not seen him as yet. 1 think Archie Anderson is out at Alder- shot, which is only a short ride on the train from here, It won't be very long before we are all back. in the show again, This time to finish it off, we all hope. Well, I will close now wishing to thank you and fellow members of Warriner Lodge once again for your kindness," ; The third letter was from one of our past grands, Bro, Merl, Dowson, who arrived in England on New Year's Day: "We had a very nice trip coming over, a little different from sailing on Lake Scugog. As the weather was very good, we enjoyed it very much, The Christmas situation was very poor to us, as of course, we never knew when we had to move and had expected to have been able to spend it in Can- ada which would have -been much better than on the boat. But there is nothing we. can do about these things so we have to make the best of it, however, I hope to be able to spend the next one at home. "Have been getting around a little bit over here and seen some of the country. I am sure it would be very pretty in the summer time with the hedges and vines. It is so very dif- ferent from home, The dampness seems to bother us but we are getting used to it now. When one gets used to the ways of travelling by buses and trains, they are very efficient. "The money situation was quite-con- fusing for awhile but now I can figure it out O.K. There are so many things rationed over here such as eggs and milk, ete, We miss them as they were 80 plentiful in Canada. "Glad to hear the Blood Clinic is being well attended as the Lodge and everyone has put so much time on the cause, With the cold weather and so much snow it must be hard getuing around. Hope the Lodge is having as much success in 'obtaining new members and good attendance at the meetings. Wish them the best and remember -me to them all.
