Macdonald and the period of Confederation Canada as re- presented by her sons in the South African and Great Wars on behalf of the Empire. The reproductions found an apt company in the zealous student body of both schools, who entered whole- heartedly into its staging. It was di- rected and arranged by Principal Auld and the full school staff, w. J. Stew- art, W. J. Mitchell, Misses Comber, Wilson, Wheedon, Adams, McIntosh and Clarke.

Relief Requests The deputation from the county council that went to Toronto on Thurs- day for the confirmation of certain relief projects, including the Ontario street ditch filling, met with complete success as far as the Ontario govern- ment is concerned. As soon as the project is authorized by the Dominion authorities work will commence. On Friday afternoon Reeve Osborne called an informal meeting at the council chamber, which some 30 rate- payers attended. The object of the meeting was an outline by the reeve of a relief project which was nothing more or less than the extension of the waterworks to the lake; an intake, til- tering well and pumping outfit to aug- ment the present supply fed by springs on the mountain. As the hour was getting along to 7 o'clock it was thought advisable that the council procure an exact estimate of the work, the spread of debentures, addition to taxes, if any, and lay the whole pro- position before a general meeting of ratepayers next week. The regular meeting of the village council was held, with all members present. The reeve outlined a plan of the county council for the tiling of the ditch on Ontario street, which was approved by the council. The organi- zation of a local welfare board was approved. The township council met the vil- lage council in an effort to secure a reduction in the price of stone pur- chased from the Beamsville quarries, but the matter was left to be decided after a meeting in Toronto, in which representatives of the various municipalities are to meet and out- line plans for proposed work to be undertaken as a relief measure. Reeve Osborne suggested that the village still needs a more ample wa- ter supply, and would never have a better chance to go to the lake for water than at present, providing this work could be done as a relief meas- ure and would be approved by the provincial authorities Nomination day was set for Friday, December 22, at 7.30 p.m. The report of the relief inspector showed seven families comprising 37 persons on relief. The police depart- ment reported an increase in tran- sients sheltered. The regular meeting of the West Lincoln branch of the Canadian Leg- ion was held last week in the L. o. L. hall. Arrangements were made to hold a. memorial service on Sunday, December 17, Arthur Currie J. W.
