long in a big city and so far as the writer could see it took just as long to remove it fred castle and his helpers did a good job in town opening the main streets after the last big storm troubles of this week this issue of the tribune was produced under trying conditions since our last paper went out fluorescent- lighting has been in stalled in the workshop and the interior of the shop painted a suit able green such as is recommended for school rooms not that we operate a school room but we do require the best of light during the painting operation no other work could be carried on and this placed us at a disadvantage in keeping up with the publication of the paper add to the absence of a reporter and a linotype operator and you can imagine the trouble we have experienced with a better shop to work in and a fully organ ized staff of six or seven regular hands we hope to be moving along for the junior game monday night a horse barn needed the need for a horse shed in waterloo was so keenly felt that the farmers banded together and with the aid of a few business people purchased an unused build ing and are rebuilding it in a con venient dlace in that town since a similar situation is arising in stouffville the same idea might well be followed here it is more than likely that a suitable shed could be bought and erected in a convenient place for use by the horsemen who are developing a christmas show here such a build ing would be very convenient on numerous occasions and the town business men would undoubtedly be glad to help finance the small cost councillor hugh boyd has been interested in the idea and we hope he will follow the matter to a successful conclusion sportsmen in renewing his subscription to the tribune r g brown midland says i would like to add my con

cement kidd we were shown the two cells built receptacle for the dead is just where prisoners are kept when as lasting and durable as steel it is j brought to the building for trial said and is entirely water proof in construction at stouffville cemetery l e oneill funeral director supported the claim made that cement vaults are more in use just now than steel because of the shortage of materials however only three or four have been used in stouffville cemetery in the last five or ten years but the number of steel vaults are considerable and could not readily be reckoned most burials use what is commonly known as a wooden rough box but when it is of steel or cement it is designated a vault and adds about 250 to the funeral costs and were agreeably surprised with the splendid clean condition every thing was in the cells are warm and quite comfortableeach provid ed with a toilet and hand washing hasin the whole building is heat ed by a large gasburning furnace mush like an oil burner prisoners are not kept in the cells for any length of time only when awaiting trial one cell was occupied so we entered the other one but were able to get out immediately arriving in stouffville that night it was brought to our attention that a middleaged man was living in an unheated chicken pen which wasnt half as comfortable as the county cells
