In Qrillia, for example, this year's estimate for charity is $3200, which is $2000 more than is required for similar purposes in Barrie, including'the hospital charges paid for poor pa- tients. | Net earnings of the Canadian Na-' tional Railways for 1926 were $48,- 225,029--an increase of $14,781,- 731 or 44.2 per cent. as compared with 1925. Sir-Henry Thornton says that these figures reflect what may be fairly regarded as a satisfactory A position. With `this view the people generally will fully `agree. Residents along the north shore of Kempenfeldt Bay` are hopi-ngi that Oro Council will devote, considerable attention to the Ridge Road this year. This road is carrying an in- creasing amount of traffic every year and a substantial expenditure- would be quite justified. A banquet such as given to the hockey team at Hawkestone, Friday night,.does much to develop the com-, munity spirit. To become possessors of the Drury Trophy is quite a sport- ing honor and the citizens of that thriving village did well to show their appreciation. . \ The `canal aspect of the Georgian Bay Canal project seems pretty well lost sight of in the discussion over who proposed `renewal of this com- pany : charter.
