Osprey To Hire Operator For Township Maintainer Saturday, Feb. 8th, was a very busy day for the members of Osprey Mtmicipal Council, as owing to it being of somewhat typical weather, it proved difficult for all to be on hand at the the appointed hour of 2 o'clock. Mr. Moore and Mr. Thomp- son appeared and after a wait of some time Reeve Hale and Mr. Mc- Ctitcheon made their appearance. As Mr. Buie had c°nt word that he '.vould be delayed, it was decide that the business would proceed as usual until his arrival, so the minutes and proceedings of the former meeting were read and disposed of, and mat- ters of only general routine were dealt with. In the interval from the former meeting the salesman of the Adar road maintainer informed the Reeve that tbe machine would definitely be delivered on or about March 1st. This information called for consid- erable discussion and it was decided to authorize the Clerk to advertise for applications for an operator. The Good Roads Association an- nual gathering will b« held in To- ronto, so it was decided that the Reeve and Mr. Thompson should at- tend, especially in view of the fact that the before mentioned main- tainer will be on display at that gathering. Owing to the Assessor not having completed his assessing for the year 1947. it was decided to adopt the 1946 -•Vsseisment Roll as the Rail for 1947, an the Clerk was author- ized to nisake and mail by ordinary post all such notices.

Risen From The Dead Public Library To Seek Extension To Quarters Fiesherton Public Library Board has appointed a committee to ap- proach the Village Council with a proposal to enlarge the library's quarters in the Town Hall. Increas- ing demands for new books and ful- ler use of current periodicals pro- vided by the library will necessitate more shelves and reading room fac- 'lities. In co-operation with the Council, the Board hopes to be able to meet these requiremetHs, and to inaprove greatly the library services offered to the comanunity. The Board for the current year is composed of Mrs. Geo. Boyd, con- vener of book committee; Mrs. J. A. Richards, Miss E. Oliver, Rev. k. G. Macpherson; R. B. Heard, treasurer; K. G. Goheen, secretary, and Reeve K. G. Betts. The book committee is now en- gaged in making selections for early purchase. Reading patrons can as- sist the committee in maiking popu- lar choices by leaving with the librarian the titles and publishers' nam«s of books desired. Former Eugenia Resident Loses Son In The West Conditions In Germany Described by John W. Cook In A Friendly Hour Address SpeaKing before a large gathering at The Friendly Hour in St. John's L'nrted ChuiTch basemeaii Sunday evening, Mr. John W. Cook of town^ gave his audience a word picture of the conditioaa in Gemoany as he foundt hem during his ten months in Germauiy with the Canadian Army .•Vuxiliaiy Services. Mr. Cook's ad- dress occupied an hours time, but all greatly enjoyed his talk. We give a short review of his remarks. Mr. Cook remarked that there was no outward manifestation of N'azi rule and the great majority of the common people weie untouched by it ail, the plots were all 'natcbed in Berlin andl Berchtesfearten by tie top Nazis. When the stories of the horrors of concentration camps were first given out, the Germans refused to believe it, but later by press re- ports and special movies oi condi- tions at Belsen, and other camps, were completely dumfounded and amazed. The people learned only what Goebells wi-hed them to know. Possibly t'ne most J.\S. McKENZIE HO.VORED BY MEMBERS FEVERi4H.\M L.O.L. (By Feversham Seporter) Feversham L.O.L.

Robert Rae vice-president and general manager of the Omnia- ion Baiik said recently. C. M. Short, chief statistician of the Canadian Biank of Commerce, said, however, that it would be diffi- cult for Canadian banks to close on Saturday unless there was wide- spread closing of bcsiness on that oav. Moreover, 75 percent of Bank branches were in rural districts* where the busiest day of the week was Saturday, ^eleton staffs would have to be kept on.

Many of the chatps took matters in their own hands and organized small raiding parties of their own in which they held up the people at the point of a gun and lit- erally robbed them of every treasure they possessed.

If any or\.ii has had any doubts as to whether tht Gorman people have not paid in biuo^; and tears a thou- sand times for their dangerous e.x- periment in Nazi doctrine of domin- ation and aggression, Mr. Cook as- sured his audience for all time on that score. He stated we can safe- ly as.ame that the German people are back about where they were be- fore Hitler came to power, and this time there must be no mistake. It is the joint responsibility of the Great Powers to see that this people are led through the present dark vale of tears upon the right road that will lead in tim« to a new era cif economic prosperity, a new en- lightenment in th-' democratic way of living.
