A NEVW SRA IN GRIMSBY During the month of December as I watched the good citizenry of Grimsby thmducrimbymflntbouhtnub- ed through my mind that Grimsby was on the threshold of a new era.

The law that was broken came into efâ€" fect last July 2nd. Under the authority of the administrator of used goods it is providâ€" ed that noâ€" person living in Montreal, Toâ€" ronto, Hamilton or St. Catharines, or within fifty miles of those places, "shall wilfully deâ€" stroy damage, contaminate or throw away any basket, hamper, or orange box, except with the consent or by order of the Adminâ€" ‘strator." Yet, we all broke the law when we startâ€" ed the furnace, and do still if it happens to go out while we are at the show, the arena or the bowlaway.â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" 4y,.

Reading, or merely looking at pictures, uses up 0.003% and shaving takes a microscopic 0.0014%. Fighting is uncomâ€" mon, using up a mere 0.0005%. In the remaining 0.05% he finds time to sew on 300 buttons a year, using 166 yards of thread; swears 144 times a day and is swern at 288 times; lhmr his feet 200 times daily, wearing out 4.7 inches of leather .yur;huhlsstimfllw;m“ times a day. «# t # # ON GoING TO BED 5 Under a democratic form Of SOVeInâ€" ment, the people are encouraged to have opinions. It is natural and eminently fitting and proper that citizens have firm predilecâ€" tions on such subjects as redâ€"flannel hash, Ond Un SWer We e N c 0 Om l pumpkin versus squash pie, and the authenâ€" ticity of ingredients for johnnycake, comâ€" ments the Ch:ilfill.l Scie:lee H‘on!tor â€" These things, we repeat, are underâ€" standable. It is, however, mildly surprising that the controversy over t*~ hest way to go to bed has grown to such proportions. Not that an academic discussion of the subject is out of order.
