All would welcome electric lighting and many would use power could they but get it. The local power company has made no serious effort to serve this community. however, and it would apâ€" pear hcpoless to arouse the company to a sense of its potentialities, The township is crisscrossed by power lines, passing by the doors of many farm, but the farmer is denied the benefits of electricial energy. The local company has ample power at hand to take car> of requirements in Mountjoy. In round figures this power may be tabulated as follows: Eandy. Falls .......... 3000 kw....... 3600 hp Wawiatin ..........10000 kw........13000 hp Sturgeon ............. 6000 kw....... 7200 hp that the suggostion of power shortaze need not be raised. Of coury farmers‘ business is not big busines which may or may not be the reasor for the company‘s indifference to reâ€" quests for electrification of the townâ€" ship.

Another two and a half miles in Mountjoy township as far as Stefano‘s farm has been in use for soeme years. There is another mile and a half across the bridge west from the towmn and it is intended to extend this line another mile. IS will thus be seen that the power company has given service to Mountjoy township and further extensions will be considerec from time to time. At the present time, power company officials said, the matter of the extension suzgested by Mr. Brewer was und>r consideration and if practical the service would be extendeod to meet the situation.

In past years Motor Vehicle Permits and Drivers‘ Licenses expired on December 3lst. In order to afford greater convenience and service to motorists in Ontario the Government has extended the expiration date three months. This extra period of time should, we feel, be ample for every motorist, and this year therefore, there will positively be no extension of time past March 31st. Your prompt coâ€"operation and action in purchasing new plates and securing your operator‘s license is therefore expected. Secure your new plates at the earliest posâ€" sible moment. By postponing action you run the risk of being turned away in the rush of the last day or two, and thus become liable to a fine. You can save yourself worry and time wasted standing in line if you will decide now to purchase your new 1939 plates well in advance of March 3ist. This woman suffered for many vears. Pain sapped her strength until she lost hope of rscovery. Many reâ€" medies were tried, but nothing broke the grip of her crippling rheumatism. At last her husband persuaded her to try Kruschen Salts:â€" "My arms and feet were swollen with rheumatism." ‘she writes. "I sould nost walk nor get regular sleoep, and nothing did me any lasting good. I was so hopeless of ever getting betâ€" ter, I lost my good nature entirely. Then my husband persuaded me to try Kruschen Salts, After two weeks I began to feel better. I persevered, and in six weeks, I was doing lLouseâ€" work. Later, I was able to go for a walk. Now I am free from pain and I feel grand."â€"(Mrs) PW. Rheumatism is commonly caused by deposits of uric acid crystals which lodge in the muscles and joints. Krusâ€" chen helps to break up these deposits of troubling crystals and to convert them into a harmless solution, which is removed through the natural chanâ€" nelâ€"the kidneys. (From Toronto Telegram) Edouard Benes, former president of Czzchoslovakia, firmly refuses to be disheartened by the effects of the Munâ€" ich government. When it was made h: predicted a new psriod or progress and development for his country, and he has repeated that confident prediction She Could Neither Walk Nor Sleep ays Munich Agreement Justified by Benes‘ Hope Arms and Feet Swollen With Rheumatism New York. Asked aocut the posâ€" sibility of war, he said nobody could foretell what would happen but that ho would not believe that was was inâ€" evitable. The position of the westcrn democracies, he said, was "solid." All this is in direct disagreement with thoss who denounced the peate as a dcsathblow to the republic and who have ever since prophesied calamitous conâ€" sequences for the world. It is, in fact. from one who knows the circumstancos and who has bsen sxtollsd by Mr. Chamberlain‘s cirtics as Europe‘s most sazcacious statesman, complete justifiâ€" cation of the action taken by the Briâ€" ‘ish Prime Minister. Jan Masaryk said rezsenutly in Toronto that the Czochs were contsnt to pay the pric> if peace were preserved and if there is a posâ€" sibility that peacs may be preserved, the bargain must be considered gocod. Theo alternative course would have meant world war and the destruction of Czecholsovakia instead of a situation in which there is at least hopg. It is eviccnt that neither Dr. Benes nor Mr. Masaryk, ‘if either had besn in Mr. Chamberlain‘s position, would have taken a step that would have dostroysd all hopse. Man, said Dr. Benes in his New York speech, "must n:verâ€"even if he sees the situation in dark colorsâ€"csase to hope for better times, and he must, most of all, never cease to work for them, never ceas> to struzgle for them and never be discauraged on his way by any ill success." That is the gospel Premier Chamberlain has preached, it is by that creed h> has lived and it is owing to his unceasing struggle and indomitable faith that Dr. Benes, and the world, ars enabled to hope today. Toronto Telegram: Destructive poâ€" wer ‘of the Brogn gun will be admitted by taxpayers who note the cost of that enquiry. All trucks and trailers operated as Public Commercial Vehicles must display P.C.V. 1939 License Plates after March 3lst, and while this is the regular expiry date for this type of license, no extension of time will be granted. PUBLIC COMMERCIAL VEHICLE LICENSES ALSO EXPIRE MARCH 3ist \Purpose Was to Call Public Attention to Fact Charges i Can be Laid, Says .Crown Attorney. _ One Charge _ Against David Bastien Dismissed, One Withdrawn, Anâ€" \ _ other Adjourned. Charged With Refusal â€" of Work Three Freed "These charges were laid to bring public attention to the fact that there is a charge ‘under which such offenders can be prosecuted," said Crown Attorâ€" ney Caldbick in police court on Tussâ€" day, speaking in the case of three Timâ€" mins relief recipients who were chargâ€" ed with failing to accept work when it was offered to <them. "The convictions registered last week have served the purpose and Relief Inâ€" spector Fred Martyn is satisfied to give these men another chanse," concluded the Crown. Accordingly, charges against Noel Venn, Nelson Longpre and Lucieon Groulx wore withdrawn. Trio of Charges There were three charges against David Pastien, one of reckless driving, which was dismissed, one of obtaining cre@it under false pretences, which was withdrawn and a third, of the theft of three cords of wood, which was adâ€" journed for a week. In the hearing of the reckless drivâ€" ing charge, Lawrence Larivee, who with his wife was riding in a taxi cab, driven by Bastion, said that the car struck a post on Mountjoy St. He did nos see how the ran into the post, however, and could not say if there was reckless driving as he was in the> back soat. Mrs. Larives could tell the court no more than her huskand so the charge MINISTER OF HIGHWAYS PROVINCE OF ONTARIO THURSDAY. FEBRUARY i6TH, 193 was dismissed. Complaintant in the theft charge was Mrs. Lily St. Aubin. She said that she sold Bastien three cords of wood and that he gave her the balance of the money for it on the day before the court. At that point the Crown interâ€" rupted to ask for an adjournment. A very important witness was missing, said Mr. Caldbick. The third hharge, whith dated back to 1934, was withdrawn by the Crown on the recommendation of police. Two Vagrants Two men were sent to jail for thirty days on charges of vagrancy. The first was alleged to have been begging from door to door in the Hollinger Townâ€" site and the second came into the poâ€" lics> station and asked to be sent to jail. Police were ordered to execute a warâ€" rant for the arrest of Vernon Johnston, who is wanted on a charge of for:ery and another of obtaining by fa‘ls> preâ€" tences. Johnston was not in‘ court although he had been summoned. When a serâ€" geant said that he saw him at a hockey sgame on Monday night Magisrate Atâ€" kinson ordered that the warrant be exâ€" seuted.
