Thurs- ton waited on the Council with re- gard to a grant to the Agricultural Society for 1932. Mr. McCauley stated that the King Paving Co. bond should read for five years in place of three and the .bond was for 'the Provincial connecting link in place of the county. It was left over for correction. In respect to the tree cut down in front of Mr. C. J. Crossley's residence Mr. Dargavel stated that he ordered its removal as it was dead and was a menace to traffic. The letter was filed. The matter of membership in the Good Roads Association was left over to the next meeting. The account of the Dept. for cal- cium chloride of $65.32 was recom- mended to the county for payment, but the account for tiling of $60.85 was ordered paid. The other accounts presented were al-ao ordered to be paid. Bylaw No. 187, to appoint the vill- age officers was read the required number of times and passed, the items being as follows: John Wright, assess- or at $25; C. J. Bellamy and F. W. Duncan, auditors at $10 each; Jos. Field, sanitary inspector at $10; W. A. Hawken,, member Local Board of Health and F. Duncan as Secretary; Mark Wilson as meiriber of the High School Board; A.

Turney were appointed to attend the Hydro convention in Toronto on February 21st. A grant at $50 was made to the East Grey Agricultural Society on a motion of Messrs. J. 0. Dargavel and C. N. Richardson. The committees, as operated last year, were re-appointed for 1932, viz: J. 0. Dargavel, roads and sidewalks; G. B. Welton, fire and park; C. N. Richardson, Hydro, and J. F. Math- ewson, town property. With respect to adequate fire pro- tection for the Village it was sug- gested by Mr. Welton that the mattei of reduced rates on a proposed fire proctection installation, should be put before the Fire Underwriters' As- sociation for their consideration, as insurance companies could not give any reduction. Considerable discussion took place with regard to the sale of debentures for. the street paving. One idea was for the village to carry the bonds and lay a sinking fund, the payments each year to be reinvested. It was thought that it would mean a con- siderable saving to the village. It was decided on a motion by Messrs. Richardson and Dargavel that the Reeve and one other membmer of the Council meet several bond dealers in Toronto in regard to the sale of the- street paving bonds. S. M. McLecd Held Up By Gunman Four dollars in change wae the most a youthful gunman could ob- tain when he held up "Snowdy" Mc- Leod, T. T. C. bus driver at Glenview Avenue and Avenue Road, Toronto on Thursday evening last. He had come to the end of his run and had opened the door of the bus, when he was suddenly confronted by a youth with drawn gun, a white scarf covering his face and cap pulled low over his head. At the -same time Snowdie was told to hand over his money, while the gunman grabbed the change box on the seat. As he arose from the driver's seat as though to comply with the request, as the bills were in his trouser's pocket, he suddenly grabbed the gun with his left hand and got the thief by the neck wit his right and they scuffled in the doorway and finally landed onto the sidewalk. In stumbling he lost his hold on the gun and as the gun- man turned the gun on his victim, Snowdie ducked in front of the bus to escape a shot. He circled the bus to come up from behind, but the robber ran towards a car parked a hundred yards away. He followed and again the gun was turned on him as the gunman entered his car. As the light was out on the car the license number could not be seen and Snowdie yelled at a young couple to secure it, which was done. Immediately Snowdie reported thf theft to the police and detectives were on the trail at one-*. He finished his run before irepor.ing to the T.T.C. office. Snowdie is a Great War veteran and if he had secured the gun from the robber it would just have been too bad for the thief. Snowdie is a son of Mr. ami Mrs Donald McLeod of the west baekline Artemesia, and has been a bus driva; with the T.T.C. for the past five years. He joined the 147th Battalion and spent a couple of years in France He still had a little too much fight left in him to hand over the money meekly, and while it was a dangerous move for him we offer our congratu- lations on his nerve and we are glad the outcome was not more serious. Geo. Ross President Of Co-Operative Co. The annual meeting of the Osprey and Artemesia Co-operative Co., Ltd., was held in Flesherton on Saturday a/fternoon. George Ross was elected President for 1932 with Garnet Mageo continuing as Secretary-Treasurer. The other directors elected were: Mtessrs. Dougald Stephens, Thos. Sled, Wm. Beaton, Peter Muir and George Cairns. President A. F. Pedlar called the meeting to order and conducted the routine of business. Secretary G. Magce gave a report on the year's business of the board, the purchasing of the scales at the stock yard and an account of all overhead expenses con- nected with the Company. F. R. Oliver, M.L.A., gave the auditor's re- port, which was very satisfactory when the depression of the times wa? taken into account. During the ycr.- '"ore were 3,433 head of live stock sh;;.ried with a mon- ey value of $48,9(54.34. The store department showed that the money value of eggs sold amounted to $5,- 543.92; poultry $1,377.65; cream,$50; groceries, etc., $23,136.47. Stock on hand amounted to $3,572.66, and there was a money value turnovsr of $30, 111.04. Mr. Harold Spoffard, manager of the store since it was started, gave a very interesting address on his year's work in connection with the store. Incidentally Mr. Spofford hand- ed in his resignation as manager at the first of the year and tenders are being asked for the position. The auditors appointed at the bus- iness meeting were D. Stephens and F. R. Oliver. There was a splendid attendance of shareholders at the meeting, show- ing the interest which is held in the enterprise. The meeting came to a close with the singing of the National Anthem. Plowing Last Week Our mild spring like weather came to a close on Sunday and several inches of snow covered the ground Monday evening. Last week Mr. John Porteous af town was plowing on his lot here and the ground was turning over nicely. Caterpillars were seen on the ground and Mr. James Dargavel saw a large dew worm cavorting on top of the earth shortly I in ff er P s - Salt > he P inted out > ald ' ed greatly in preventing fires. He also advocated that fire extinguishers PREVENTING FIRES Fire Marshall E. P. Heaton recently issued! a warning to farmers that they should exercise greater care In harvesting and storing their crops if they hope to avoid spontaneous com- bustion. At the close of the inquiry into Wentworth County barn fires, he suggested that farmers revert to the old-time custom of using salt in cur- after a rain storm. Such occurrences at this time of the year were never known in this section and it is more than likely that it will be many years before we have such a mild wintei again.

Static electricity in the blower of the thresher, which can be over- come by grounding wires, was the cause of at least one fire in Went- worth. FEED SUNSHINE COST OF MOTOR LICENSES V ' In at least two provinces of Can- ada, motorists now buying their plates for 1932 are paying more for them than they did in 1931. The cost in one province was increased on a flat basis, and in the other on a cylinder classification. No recent changes in gasoline tax rates have been announc- ed, and rumors from various provinces that there might be increases have not been confirmed. New County Judge Mr. G. W. Morley of Collingwood last week received notice of his ap- pointment a-3 County Court Judge of the County of Grey, to succeed Judge Sutherland, who died a short time ago. G. W.

AUCTION SALE We suppose we'd be calling this a January thaw if there had been any- thing to thaw. Meaford High School teachers are returning 5 r /r o.f their salaries to the town for relief purposes for four months, and at the last session oif Meaford Council a cheque for $81.49, representing the amount for Decem- ber, was received and gratefully ac- knowledged. Mrs. J. A. Taylor of Singhampton will hold an auction sale of household furniture and effects at her home on Wednesday, January 27, 1932, at 1 o'clock p.m. Cod liver oil, the sunshine substi- tute, i-s one of the most important items in the properly balanced poultry ration. Where birds are closely con- fined during the winter months, as i-j the case in most parts of Canada they receive very little direct sun- light, and with the rations usually fed they do not receive all the vitamins they require. Calcium and prosphorus are two minerals specially required for laying pullets and hens in the manufacture of eggs. The digestion and assimilation of materials, espec- ially calcium, require one of two things; an abundance of vitamin D Cod liver oil is rich in vitamin D, and is one of the reliable sources of this type of food.

Duncan Old Store , January 28th At the U.F.O. annual convention in Toronto recently, Miss Mcphail. M.P. said: "One of the most curi- ous things I've heard im quite a white is that in Saskatchewan there are doctors getting relief." It would havo been still more curious if the doctors had been prospering when the farmers had a three year crop failure in many districts and haven't enough to live on without paying the medical men. That would have been a miracle. The doctors who visit the sick in the dried out areas of Saskatchewan with but little prospect are as worthy of hc/-!or;-- ( ble mention 'for their selT- sacrtficing spirit as the clergymen who are shepherding their flocks and depending on mission funds for their support.
