The nancial statement shows that nine paid the tax, for a total of $45. Re`- ferring to the matter, the Packet wants to know why single women, who now are on equal footing with men as far. as the franchise in con- cerned, should not pay thistax. Ev- en if they were, the collector would probably be even more ditfident about asking the fair delinquents to pay up than he seems tobe of tack]- _ ingthyejmen. . f ' ' t Barrie extends hearty congratula- tions to Collingwood on theavery ac- ceptable Christmas gift it received _in the shape of a contract for the construction of a.big' boat -at the shipyards, which will give employ- ment to 900_Amen. Collingwood has been rather hard hit industrially the| last few years and itis pleasing to` know that prospects are so bright for the coming year. ' A contemporary is of the opinion that if Home Bank depositors are to be' reimbursed` because of the failure of the system of inspection to reveal the risk and"loss topwhich they were exposed, then, on the same principle; people whose houses or places of business are burglarized would be entitled to hold the au.th- ` orities responsible for feilure to give them the protection whicll the police system is supposed to" aord. The by-law to provide $65,000 for improvements and extensions to Orillia collegiate is meeting some vigorous opposition, mostly because of the tax _rate.. It is pretty safe to predict, however, that the `money will be voted if the Board of Education can show the ratepayers that the ex- penditure is absolutely necessary. ` Barrie s nancial position does not suffer in comparison with that of Or- illia; Our neighboring town had a decit of $3360 for 1923 as'com'- pared with our surplus of $5418. Its outstanding taxes amount to $39,- 982.14, its` funded debt to $1,100,- `695, with bank loans on capital ac- count amounting to $74,000 in ad- dition to this. BLOOD TRANSFUSION TRIED In the last effort to save the life of Mrs. Turner, Craighurst, a patient at the R. V. Hospital, Drs. Ross and McMaster on Saturday morning per- formed an operation that `is unusual at the hospital. A pint and a half of blood was taken from a son of the patient and infused "into her veins. The same operation` was per- formed in the evening by infusing a similar amount taken from a daugh- ter. Mrs. Turner seemed much.re- vived by the operation but on Sun- day she began to sink again and died in the evening. A It is well to remember that the happiness and prosperity of. the New Year depend largely upon the effort each and every one makes to bring about these conditions. ' . _ \-.. .

In one "town notmore than one-third of the avail- l able. vote was polled. Much`. is heard thesevdays about ' community service, and this is a healthy sign. . Sometimes the-_ ques- tion is heard:-`.`What is really meant by communityservice? Frankly, it is exactly what the name implies- service for the community in" which we live. It is high and noble service because it is inspired _by the impulse of being friendly, helpful a and neighborly. _ It is service given vol- untarily and with no thought of re- compense other than the satisfaction of having done something, even in a small way,,that will add to the com- fort or redownd to the betterment of others. good old place many- of us like to think of as our neighborhood-is the .place we naturally cherish, be- cause it is the place where we" live.

We are not strangers `in our community, nor do we wish strang- ers long to remain so. We want to know them and want them to get ac- quainted with us. The` community spirit is not a new thing.

The reason is not far to seek. Farming has been unprotable. This is a well known fact. The trouble is the want of price adjustment. The farmer gets too little for what he_sells and has to pay too much for what he buys. The farmer continues to pay war prices for most of the things he pur- chases, while the price of" his pro- duce has declined to pre-war values. | The result is that farming as a bus- iness is unprotable. This is the real cause of ' the present unsettledvcon- dition` of the farming industry.

Cash Sy/stem Best Hanover Post: Pay Cash,is one of the best slogans for a household. One of the bestvagents for lling the poor house is -a charge account. Pay- ing cash puts a, constant check on buying, whi-leajcharge account en- courages reckless purchases. `It's so easy to buy and have it charged, but when the _day of reckoning comes it is not so easy to settle the bill, and many a conscientious mer- chant is accused of adding to the bill simply because the customer cannot realize all his moments of past foolishness.

If you I. have, you were probably struck by the number of _circular and form letters `dud hand-bills that littered .the floor.- In fact, you doubtless were struck with the fact that many of them had been thrown in-the bas- ket as soon `as they were removed from the envelope, the recipient nev- er even takingthe trouble to give 'them'a second glance. But did you also. notice that you do_n t see anyone throwing the newspapers, and espec-- ially the home town newspapers, in the waste basket or on the oor? Did you notice that newspapers are al- ways carried away instead of tossed away? We1l,.right there is a mighty good argumentin favor of advertis- ing in the newspapers.
