Powell, manager of the Silverwood's | plant here, is being transferred from Stratford will be received with regret by a wide circle of friends and busi-| ness associates in this city.

Mr. Powell has been an active member of . the Lions Club, and a valued member of the Stratford Tennis Club. The new'\manager of the Stratford plant will be Leo A.

WHAT'S WHAT Chief interest around the city hall during the past week has been centred on a long-range battle between the City Council and the Board of Edu- cation. The City Council called a meeting of spending bodies in the city hall for the purpose of outlining the city's position financially and urging the need for economy in pre- paring estimates. Nothing very exciting happened until Ald. W E. Goodwin told the meeting plainly that in his estimation this was no time for a mutual admir- ation meeting. The Board of Educa- tion should bear the brunt of the nec- essary paring, he felt, and he brand- ed as outrageous some of the salaries which were being 'paid to collegiate teachers. Well the Board of Education held a meeting on Monday night. Chairman Harry Patterson took the chair for the first time, but the highlight of the meeting was an attack by Trus- tee A. T. Capper on the meeting which had been held in the city hall. It was just a farce, he said, and the City Council had not been ready to give the representatives of the spending bodies any information as_ to the amount which should be clipped from the estimates this year. 'CHOOSING A WIFE" EVANGELIST Alexander Torrie B.A. Evangelist Alexander Torrie, B. A. (of Toronto) **Canada's Premier Evangelist" will address a great Mass Meeting Sunday Afternoon, Feb'y 14th at 3.45 o'clock in the Central United Church Subject--"Choosing a Wife" Evangelist Torrie has packed the largest theatresin Canada aud United States when he has given this address. He will tell young men what kind of a girl to marry. He will also tell young ladies what kind of a young man not to marry. Male Quartette and Mr, Leon- ard, singing evangelist, will provide special music. Plan and come. Early comers, good seats. Mr. Gotby will preside at organ. , Chairman Patterson and Trustee R. | J. Easson also expressed their views, | which were not very commendatory to ithe Council. Chairman Patterson |wished to point out that the teachers lhad not received proper credit, he |said, for the five per cent of their |salaries, which they voluntarily con- itributed toward relief work. These contributions had been voluntary, but _ those of the civic employees had been | forced, he declared. And that's that. How about a local League of Nations? The Board of Education also de- cided to. buy a new filing cabinet for the secretary's office, so Dr. EHidt will not need to don his overalls and go crawling about in the attic of Anne Hathaway School when he wishes to consult old records of the Board, The City Council has taken one step nearer to the safeguarding of the Huron-Mornington Streets inter- section. The unemployment commit- tee of the Council is to proceed with the work in the Spring, and an at- tempt will be made to have it includ- ed in the unemployment relief work program. The Parks Board held its inaugural meeting on Monday night, but as there was no quorum present, the members of the Parks Board will have to rally on another night for another meeting. > A peepee | THEATRE The Best in Talking pao.
