Essa has a feature not seen at other municipal nominations in that all the movers and seconders are given an `opportunity to speak before the can- didates are called upon. Brevity was the order with these. each saying a few words in favor of his man. Board of Health Dr. West of Angus, M.O.H., caused some amusement by saying that he . would prescribe a blood transfusion for the council, it being in dire need of some new blood." He then went on to speak of health matters. Hearty co- operation by the council and ratepay- ; ers in the carrying out of public health . regulations was acknowledged. The township had been threatened by two minor epidemics, but prompt action by the Board of Health and provincial authorities had headed these off. Some criticism had been heard of a diphtheria outbreak at Camp Borden having caused quite an expense to Essa. Dr. West said it didn't amount to two cents per ratepayer. Twenty- ve positive carriers were found in 'the Camp but the outbreak was kept down to three active cases. With the whole area under strict camp regula- tions. everyone was immunized and `the spread of the dread disease pre- vented. Had the disease started with `the same virulence in any other part `of the township. God only knows where it would have ended, declared the speaker. Reeve Denney Reviews Affairs When the chairman of the meeting, ' Township Clerk Dinwoody, announced ` that he would call the candidates in ` the order nominated and asked the "Deputy-Reeve to speak.

' v-\___._ r\._._.--.. .x..........1 4.- 1.1.. ....a. 31l.lDU- Reeve Denney jumped to his feet, said he was quite prepared to do so and took the platform. Before start- ing he invited the audience to ask `questions when he was through. Mr. Denney devoted the major portion of his time to county council matters. `In connection with the roads he show- ed Essa/s contribution to be $4,489 this year. This was quite a lot of money but the township had return- ed to it $4,000 for maintenance of the 4th line (county road). and there was Ithe work done on the townlines which quite offset the balance of $489. He and Deputy-Reeve Bell had succeeded in again having designated as a coun- ty highway the portion of road from Angus to 30 sideroad and then north. other townships had also had certain roads designated. but none of these stretches restored .to the bylaw had Dept. one of the Dept. officials spoken to did not hold out much hope. say- ing, You had better fix up- the coun- ty roads you have before you take ov- `yet been approved by the Highways er any more."

He had opposed increases to omclals given last June. He had a novel suggestion regarding salary increases. If an of- cial thinks he's worth more money. let him submit his resignation with his appli tion for more pay. Were this done here would not be so many re- quests for increases.

Everything is in shipshape order. for the opening of the annual show of the Barrie Poultry Association which` takes place in. the Armouries next Tuesday, January 8. and continues; Wednesday and Thursday. As has been repeatedly pointed out the show; this year is to be much larger thanv formerly. with entries from greater distances and generally the show will take on the nature of a county exhi- bition. _ ' This desirable condition is the` fruition of years of effort on the part. of the local association but chiefly due to the eilorts of the Provincial Gov-f ernment, which desires to have fewer and better shows throughout the pro- vince. Instead of helping to finance l.-..............-.mn llffln shows the depart-: } didates. One of the largest crowds ever seen at a municipal nomination packed the Orange Hall at Ivy last Monday after- noon. Some reworks were expected (which may have been the reason the caretaker carried a pail `of water to K the platform in addition to the pitcher placed on the chairman's table) but in the two hours of speaking there was little that could be so described. There were few personalities and very little heat manifested by the opposing can- As far as could be judged from applause the reeveship battle seemed to be of most interest to the `audience, though every speaker was given an excellent hearing.

The running board, front render and two doors of the War}: car were con- siderably damaged and the owner- intimated he proposed taking civil action.

Scores have paid nes for this offence in recent weeks but Ferry s case was different. Traffic Officer Buck said he chased him into a garage in West Gwi1lim- bury on Dec. 16 to have his lights xed and that he failed to do so, driv- ing away after the officer had left the garage.` ,This evidence was not corroborated and was atly denied by Ferry. He did admit one headlight was out when the traffic officer stop- ped him, however, and for this he paid $5.75. Had the original oence been proven the ne would have been much heavier.

It has been found necessary to build extra coops. An- r'orns and Chinchillas are to be fea- tured. This industry has been grow-5 ins`: steadily in Simcoe County and els:~\vl'1ere. The demand for an annual exhibition has been insistent. Com- {)if'HiiOl'l promises to be keen. , The Barrie Poultry Show of late has taken on more of a provincial-wide, status rather than that of a local' show. It will be considered a real] honor to carry off prizes offered, they igwiniz regarded as being of great com- mcrcial value to the breeder. For in- stance. the exhibitor who this year wins the Eckardt Trophy will be con- sidered to have the best Barred Rocks in a wide area. The same applies to: other divisions. ] There are twenty-ve special priz- es this year and eleven miscellaneous specials. many of which are for addi- tional cash, to augment the regular prize list. As an additional incentive the Association has made a cash don- ation spread over various divisions. I n-ui.....~. nutx hnnlna nnna and n chin]:-I I I
