Whose views does "Vaâ€" _paus" think it expounds in its libelous articles? Not the Canadian Finns. ‘That paper, and its Communistic platâ€" form (orientated according. to Mosâ€" ‘cow) does not represent more than a mere fraction of them.

"The loyal Finns of Canada are deeply sorry that the reputation of the Finnish people has thus suffered much in the eyes of the English speaking world, and that the drawing of the authorities‘ attention to these matters had to be through such cruel and deâ€" spicable articles." munism has not and never shall have the slightest chance for success here. They that want it, can very easily move to the Soviet‘s paradise and leave us here in peace. It is hoped that the auâ€" thorities at last have had their eyes opened in regard to "Vapaus" through this regrettable but inexcusable libel act. "It is significant that "Vapaus" is forâ€" bidden to enter Finland by the Finnish government, and yet it is freely allowed to be published here. Perhaps the auâ€" thorities are of the opinion that a very limited number will read it. But I am not mistaken in saying, that among the 75,000 Finns in Canada, the great maâ€" jority would rejoice if its publication was prohibited, and thus an end be put to the poison that it constantly pours among the Finnish immigrants.

Under climatic conditions in Engâ€" land a cottage might be built for $1,000 but in Ontario, he feared, no such structure. properly insulated, with proâ€" per cellar etc., could be erected for that price. The result of the conferâ€" ence was the immediate despatch by In many ways, it would appear that Ontario is inclined to favour this plan over and above the "cottage" agreeâ€" ment, which it has not definitely acâ€" cepted, nor will accept it is understood, until it is submitted in its entirety to the Cabinet. and only after effort has been made by the British Government to increase the $1,000 scheduled "buildâ€" ings" allowance. The limit of expenditure in such an agreement has been set by the Federal authorities at $1,500 per settler, and that, too, on the condition that the Province spend an equal amount. An agreement covering the entire negotiaâ€" tions will be submitted to the Ontario Government at an early date for its approval. In the plans, however, which were discussed at the Ottawa conference the suggestion was raised that Ontario, for a cash consideration, might take over the task of bringing out the settlers. W C. Noxon, Agentâ€"General for the Province in London. reported to Mr. Martin, less than a week ago, that he had more firstâ€"class Britishers than ever clamouring to locate in Ontario, and this situation is said to have actuâ€" ated to some extent the feeling that the Province might also look after the settlers‘ "end" of any bargain that might now be fashioned among the three Governments.

While the proposal involves the occuâ€" pancy of the farms by Old Country settlers, it will not necessitate, howâ€" ever, the establishment by the Provinâ€" cial Government of houses or buidings. Both are "on the spot," so to speakâ€" standing where their former owners left them, when, for various reasons, they gave up agriculiture and sought employment in other. linesâ€"most of them still in good repair, and in localiâ€" ties favoured with both roads and school sections. Despatches from Toronto last week say that if an agreement satisfactory to the Dominion and Ontario Governâ€" ments and the Overseas Settlement Board can be worked out,. some 300 unâ€" tenanted but partially developed homeâ€" steads scattered from east to west throughout the northern half of the Province, will again be occupied and operated. Intimation to this effect was supâ€" plied at Toronto on Friday by Hon. John S.

A resolutions was unanimously passed by the council thanking Mayor | Longmore and Councillor Pritchard for the effective and generous services given 'the town in the municipal field. Both ihad been earnest, able and publicâ€" | spirited, and their good work had been of great value to the town. __In replying to the vote of thanks, Councillor Pritchard said that his health had not been the best lately and so he wished to retire from public serâ€" i vice for the present. He had found the ia.ssociatlons very agreeable, however, ‘during the time he had sat at the counâ€" icu board, and he particularly thanked ;the other members of the board of works and the town foreman for the unfailing and generous support given | him during the time he had been chairâ€" \man of the public works committee. {He referred specially to the good work of the town foreman, Mr. J.

Some 1926 taxes and taxes for previous years were rebated in the cases of widows with children, the widows not being able to ‘meet the tax payments in these cases.

The acting mayor called attention to the fact that this would be the last regular meeting of the town council for the year and so it would be fitting Routine accounts were ordered paid and a number of rebates on water rates were authorized where water had not been used on account of removal or for A number of rebates in taxes for the year were granted in cases where vaâ€" cancy of premises made this necessary. Capt. Evendon, of the Salvation Army asked for permission to have boxes on tripods on street on Monday, Dec. 24th, for the taking of a collection for the Army‘s relief work for the winter. This had been gllowed last year and counâ€" cil granted the request for this year. Mr. C. G. Kemsley was named by coun- cil as the other appointee. Mr. D. Ostrosser was reâ€"appointed to the High School board as one of the council‘s appointees to that body, and A letter was received from Mrs. Thos. Demers, asking for consideration for expenses incurred through injuries reâ€" ceived from a fall on the icy sidewalk on Wilson avenue. Mrs. Demers pointed out in her letter that the accident was due to the condition of*the walk and so the town appeared to be liable for damâ€" ages. In view of the fact that the town carries indemnity insurance for acciâ€" dents on walks, etc., the matter was referred to the agent carrying the lia@â€" bility insurance for the town. The regular meeting of the town council was held on Friday of last week, the schedule date falling on Christmas Eve and so it being considered better to advance the meeting to Friday. Those present for the meeting were Councillors Geo. S. Drew, W. H. Pritâ€" chard, A. G. Carson, R. Richardson, C. P. Ramsay, and P. Dougall. In the abâ€" sence of Mayor Longmore, Councillior Geo. S.
