horsedrawn buggies and wagons and bicycles on the highways and rural roads be comes even greater than during the summer months the law calls for such vehicles to carry lights which are clearly visible both from the front and rear certainly this is ont law that is frequently broken one does not have to travel far before encountering some unliglited buggy wagon or bicycle on the roads dark wet evenings become particular nightmare to the motor ists as they drive along never know ing when some object may luom up in front of them with startling sud denness driving loses all its plea sure and becomes a drudge buggies and wagons and for that matter bicycles are particularly hard to see on a wet dark road the driver and his companions must strain every nerve all the time to avoid them grim pictures of road side death scenes and resulting court cases loom up in his or her minds eye the pleasure is gone with a great many it is apparent ly the idea that the sole responsibility rests with the car driver he must avoid the buggy wagon bicy cle or pedestrian as best he can what great failh some people have in the car drivers under other cii cumstancos doubtless the drivers would bo highly

served up in the averago families for several days but now tho housewife and her family want meat that is more ten der and they want more variety in their moat dishes they do not want a roast to last

miles of stouffville in the township ot whitchurch opens an interesting question or two first is there another wolf in the neighbor hood and secondly how many sheep if any have been killed by the maurader experienced wolf hunters tell us that these animals do npt stay long by themselvesthey usually go in twos or in packs a wolf had been sighted at- various points in whitchurch the past year or two and this would strengthen the belief that more than one of them is abroad in the vicinity the nature of the killing this past summer among the sheep has more than onco been the subject of comment dogs mostly have their own way of destroying a sheep but much of the killing the past season appeared to bo of a vastly different nature causing the impression that some animal other than a dog was do ing it at any rate tho whitchurch council has expressed themselves in this way although in tho case of the brodie slieep tho owner is firmly of the opinion that his sheep were never attacked by any animal other than a dog whitchurch council offered a re ward of 50 fgr tho killing ot a lynx hoping that the liberal amount would induce hunters to got out at that time and if they wero successful re- duco the number of sheep being kill ed there wero no animals shot how ever but now that a wolf has been destroyed it might bo a good thing to offer a roward again perhaps not so largo but a liberal reward none theless this added to tho bounty should induce a real hunt to be made this winter in the swamps where the wolf was believed to havo its haunt tho first intimation by the postal authorities regarding parcels up to 25 lbs being allowed to go by mail turned out to bo premature the heaviest weight to go by parcel post is still 15 bs s oz tho only chang es are those by which the charger will

two pound charge now it comes under the one pound rate the second change is in regard to insurance all parcels for delivery in canada may be insured up to 50 free of charge if the sender requests it

to start promptly at an early hour in the morning and work reasonably late iu an effort to keep the cost of tho session as low as possible thure is almost a unanimous feeling throughout ontario that we are very much overgoverned there is also a pretty general feeling that the county council is one of tho expensive branches of government which possibly we could get along without this is a very debat able question and we believe that tho county council can serve a very useful purpose but if it is to con tinue to serve that useful purpose it must give tangible evidence of its usefulness and
