volxlvii no u j telephone company to redeem 7 pc bonds taking advantage ot the very low interest rates now prevailing and which have prevailed for some years the bethesda stouffviue tele phone company are calling in a 40000 issue of bonds which bear interest at 7 per cent and will re price them with a similar issue at 5 per cent interest is due on the issue on the fust day of march this year and by that date holders of this security are requested to get in touch with the company with th view to cashing their holdings or replacing them with the new issue the bethesda stouffviue tele phone co since its inception have never defaulted on any of its obliga tions and its bonds are really in good demanu locally and the seven per cent interest rate looks to be out of all proportion to the cost of money for an investment of this nature we predict that the compan will find ready sale for any bonds that might be cashed for present holders but the likelihood is that present holders will take advantage of the privilege of converting their holdings into the new five per cent issue a meeting of the directors held in the company office in stouffviue on january 5 at which were present a d bruce president and james ratcliff treasurer dr w a sang- ster and t patterson the decision to convert the issue was formally passed and investors may get in touch with the head office at the first

time of year farmers and township councils must give heed o the condition of those roads over which the rural mall courier has to pass if they wish the daily service continued the regulations provide that roads on which rural mail de livery is established must be in gojd condition at all times the highways for the effective performance of the service they must be kept passable for vehicles at all seasons of the year either by the municipality or the residents wiho are being served rural mail boxhofders should under stand that it is not the duty of couriers to break the roads after storms streams gullies and ditches must be bridged when necessary failure to maintain in a passable condition at all times the highwys travelled by a rural mail courier will be considered sufficient reason for the department withdrawing the service pending the completion of the necessary improvements during the winter season the roads must be kept open and the approach to the box sufficiently clar of snow to enable the courier to cov er his route without being unneces carily delayed or inconvenienced new school wing under view victims of lake simcoe tragedy greatly mourned in sutton sutton jan 19

stouff viue it was always a close break oe- tween the number of visits paid by the stork and the visit ot the hearse in our community however this year the stork is leading the hearse by more than two to one the vital statistics issued last week by the village clerk indicate that the number of births totalled 50 whereas the number of deaths was only twentyfour there were twen tyfour marriages also indicating that dan cupid is abreast of he death rate the figures indicate that the vital statistics are the largest in 1937 than any year since the village was incorporated and is due in largo part to the establishment of the brierbush hospital while such institutions are of necessity the way out for many people they are also the way in for many more and so we have a record of births and deaths
