This may be accounted for, in part. by the fact, that, relatively speaking, the year has been a very healthy one in the town, l'cen are down, somewhat, and an increase is moted in the num- ber of free bedside nursing visits, This is not to be wondered at when one takes into consideration the prevalent depression which has by no means passed Whitby iy New Patients . 1930 1931 Ww.

Miss Percy pointed out, however, that in view of the poseibility of having at some fu- ture date te appeal to the eiti- zens for support, the importance and necessity of keeping the pub- lic continuously informed about the work of the Vietorian Order gliould not be overlooked, It was suggested that the Com- mittee might well consider the possibility of "featuring'" the coming annual meeting of the Asscciation, and of obtaining for it, if possible, an outside speaker, Respectfully submitted, Elizabeth L.

Presents Town With Bill For Year 1921 A bill for $1,463.14 from the Onturio Department of High- ways for oil alleged to have been supplied to the Town of Whitby in the year 192], ten Jean ag. as presented to the own neil on Monday even- ..g and occasio much sur. prise. No member of Council was able to throw any light on the bill, but naturally it was thought strange that t government had never billed the town be- fore for this amount. The oil in question, it is un- derstood, was put on town streets. Some s of the C il thought that the account was outlawed, Town Solicitor Duncan Mcintyre when for an opinion asked for time to think the matter over, inasmuch as it was felt that the old adage "The King can do no wrong," might apply to the Ontario as well as the Dominion Govern: ment, both representing the Crown. At any rate, the Council de- cided to take no action, and on motion the bill was laid on the table.

The concert was under the joint auspices of the Christmas Cheer and Legion Relief Funds. Three outstanding artists were Mrs. P. N. Spratt, well known local soloist; Mr, Marshall Pren- tice, an artist of rare talent, who recently made his home in Whitby, and Mr. Ragnar Steen, vioiinist and talented musician, of Oshawa, Of all three artists much could be sald, The audi- erce in unmistakable terms after each number showed its appreci- ation, demands for encores being fasistent, The reportoire of the company lacked nothing in the way of variety ,rangiong from the ridicu- lous to the sublime.
