Another change which the depart- ment is making is to not forward ap- plcation forms to individual owners in the province. Experience in past years has shown that these forms are, in a large percentage of cases, not treated seriously, but regarded as ad- vertising matter from the department. The policy is being adopted, there- tore, forwarding the forms to every garage and trutrmybile salesroom, where they may be obtained upon ap- plication. Hell may be paved with good in- terrtions, but at least bonds did not have to be issued for all the paving. Toronto, Dec. 26.--Respite until February 1 is being given this year to motorists by the Ontario. Govern- ment in the matter of securing their new license plates. An order-in- council, passed Wednesday at the Parliament buildings, extended the present year licenses until this date and announcement was made at the same time by the motor vehicle branch that new markers would not previously be available. That one class room at least must be added to the accommodation at Winona's public school and that the present staff must ‘be increased by at least one teacher is the substance of School Inspector Robinson's report to be dealt with at a ratepayers' meeting, called at the school house this Wednesday morning, December 31, at 10 o’clock Mr. Robinson points out that the present accommodation isrentirely inadequate and that the enrollment is far beyond the maxi- mum tor three teachers. There is a suggestion that temporary quarters tor an additional room might be ob- tained while arrangements are being made tor an enlargement to the build- mg. Certain changes in the issuing ot markers are being made this year by the motor vehicle department, with a view to increasing the efficiency of the issuing service. Divisions are being created in the department each separately staffed, tor the handling of the various classes ot licenses issued. This policy is expected to achieve greater expedition in the distribution ot permits, and in order that it may not cause confusion to the govern- ment, motorists are being asked to send separate cheques tor each class ot permit which they secure, and not to forward one cheque to cover pay- ment tor tees tor {passenger cars, trucks and possibly chauffeur licenses. Other business to engage the at- tention of the meeting will be the ap- pointment of a trustee to fill, a term which expires this year. EXTEND MOTOR LICENSE YEAR In view of the importance of the business to receive consideration at this year's school, meeting, the trus- tees are hoping that the ratepayers as a whole will make an. effort to at- tend. _ WINONA SCHOOL __ IS CROWDED One wonders if it occurred to the man who chose the subject it he real- ly, fully realized the comparison he was drawing? Practically everything in the picture of that time has chang- ed so so tar as manners and condi- tions. But the banking system of) Canada-the solid foundation ot The} Royal Bank of Canada--is much the same now as then. "The painting depicts activities at- aniums.

"The commonplace of yesterday is Romance today, and so, before living memories of those early days are gone forever with the passing of the older generation, we have endeavored in our picture to recall a familiar spectacle in the Halifax of 1869." [HALIFAX IN '69 jawâ€"rim“; IS PORTRAYED! Slats’ Diary "The Citadel Hill-flag decked on occasion-the ancient clock tower, the Post Office and the old Bank building are still there, but those lookers-mr-the officer from the garrison, his contemporary of the Scottish Rifles with green tunic and tartan trousers, the Town Major, self-important on his mount with sword of office drawn, the Seaforth Highlander and the modish lady have all passed on, to- gether with the trio of prosperous traders, the captain and his pic- turesque crew, all clad in the vogue of the times. Gone also are the brig they are unloading, the. gas lamp on the corner and the ox cart at the cross street. N The picture hears the caption "A Merchantman of 1869 Unloading at Halifax. Trade with the West Indies --even in the early day of The Royal Bank of Canada-was a most irp- portant factor in the commercial life of Halifax. The Grimsby and Beam'sville branches of The Royal Bank of Canada are is- suing calendars for 1925, with a pie- ture that appeals to' any who take an interest in the development ot Can- ada, or the history thereof. "The Royal Bank of Canada had its origin during an important period in the history ot the Mari- time Provinces. In retrospect, halt a century seems but a short span of time, but already pietor- ial records of everyday life of fifty years ago are rare, and our painting is dedicated to the me- mory of those stirring times. "How long is it going to take to get through with this case?” asked the client who was under suspicion of hous-breaking. "Well," replied the Young barrister, thoughtfully, "It'11 take me about two weeks, but I'm afraid it's going to take you. about tour years.” Drain gasoline tank and thoroughly clean strainer and gas lines. Clean out oil pan, oil lines and strainer on oil suction line. Repair any. top or side curtain de- fects and see that curtain fasteners are intact. The literature of today and tomor- row must be protected from waves of reform which change not only the spelling of the words but their mean- ing, it is claimed. New words, of course, are welcomed, but the ones of long established usage should bear some resemblance at least to the original. q "Colour" will still be spelled as "color" in the revised book. The word "through" will not be reduced to "thru", and "skipped" will not in tu- ture become "skipt." Naturally "killed" will not be "kilt." As far as the actual study of spell- ing is concerned an effort is being made to include only those words in the spellers with which the child is likely to be conversant in everyday conversational English. For this pur- pose a chart pt the thousand most common words in speech has been pre- pared and is being consulted in the preparation ot the next text book. Check breaker point and spark plug gaps. See it brakes need relining or ad- justing. Is battery full of electrolyte and properly charged. Change transmission and axle oil while weather is mild. Look tires over tor breaks that should be vulcanized. Clean battery terminals by washing with boiling water. Clean out water system, installing new hose it old is at all worn. Two aims are in the minds ot the committee working on the spelling reforms. In the first place it is de- sired that the words conform to the written needs and be adapttable for natural use in writing. Secondly, it is intended to take Gbgnizance of the in- vestigations which have lately been made into the subject ot orthography. Historic Use One of the rules by which the com- mittee is being guided is that the his- torical derivation of a word must not be lost by contractions. THINGS TO CHECK Tighten car all over. Repack water pump. See that hot air connection is in operation. Replace missing oiling devices and lubricate all around. Reforms in public school spelling are now under way by the department of education and will be incorporated into the texts in a short time, it is learned on good authority. Although there has been considerable agitation for simplified spelling, as fostered in the United States, no radical revision will be approved.

Hoping to have your active support and wishing you all a Happy and Prdsperous New Year. I have served the Township as Reeve for the past five years and, while your taxes are high, they are no more so than in other Townships of the County who have not the side- walks and good roads which we enjoy. We spent $4,000 less on roads during 1924 than in the previous year, thus showing the Council was cutting down expenditure and, as I said at the Nomination Meeting: it wilrbe possible to further reduce expenditure on roads in 1925, owing to the improved condition of the roads and culverts. Having again been nominated for Reeve I take this portunity of soliciting your votes and influence for my election.
