There was a period of two centuries or more in England in which the Norman conquerors spoke only French, the language which they brought across the channel with them, and Anglo-Saxon was spoken by the conquered population.’ The nobility, of course, was almost without exception of the former race. Hence in the castles, where the port- »ers’ duties lay, oniy French was spoken, and naturally the French title prevailed. Later, of course, owing' to the political severance of Normandy from England, the two tongues com- bined into a mixture that was basical- [ly Anglo-Saxon and from which mod- 'errn English has dweloped. But by hat time the word "porter" had be- ome thoroughly fixed. The name was, of course, purely Bescriptive at first and it is found in be old records in the form “‘Nicholas ie Porter." rmm'arcakey's Used Car Mar‘i I03 Tonga 5m - The first Niagara Peninsula Scout Officers’ Rally will beheld in St. Catharines on Friday and Saturday, March 11th and 12th, according to in- formation obtainczl from Provincial Scout Headquarteis. Bloor and Sher- boume Streets, Toronto. It is expect- ed that there will be a large attend- ance of Scontmasters, Assistant Scout- masters and other senior officers to participate in the programme, which will include conferences on troop or- ganization and management. training progx‘am‘es, recruiting leadershlp and general Scout activities. The 1st Exoter Troop (Thomas Pryde, Scoutmaster), won the honor of receiving the first of the new char- ters now being issued to Troops by the Provincial Council for Ontario. In order to receive a charter for the con- duct of a troop, the institution or group of people responsible for it must definitely accept responsibility for pro- viding suitable leadership ,and ade- quate facilities for carrying on its work. It also appoints a Trolop Com- mittee of three persons to co-operate with the Scoutmaster in his work and to help in every way possible to ad- vance the interests of the troop and its members. In those days the word had none of its modern meaning. The porter was not a bearer of burdens. He was the military oflicer in charge of the guard at the gate, or “port,” of the castle. The Anglo-Saxon equivalents of this title were “dove-ward” and “dore- man” (door-ward and doorâ€"man), and family names developed from them are frequently met with. On February 22nd, the birthday of Sir Robert Baden-Powell. founder and Empire Chief of the Boy Scouts, liter- ally dozens of Boy Scout concerts. dis- plays, dinners, etc., were held through- out the province, many of then: largely attended by parents and friends. Other As might be expected, the family name of Porter had its origin in the occupation of porter. Title, however, would really be a better term than oc- cupation, for in the middle ages, under the Norman-French feudal system of military-social organization, the porter was a person of military importance.

I' have used them for my baby and would use nothing else." What Mrs. Lefebvre says thousands of other mothers say. They have found by trial that the Tablets always do just what is claimed for them. The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach and thus banish indigestion, constipation, colds, colic, etc. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine 00., Brockville. Ont. Thus, ’Roger atte Ley ("at the Ley”) would have really the same surname as “Richard de’ la. Leye” (“of the Ley”). It is easy to see how all of the modern variations of this name have developed from one or the other of the following old forms: The words are “Iey” or “lee,” mean- ing a shelter, and “lea” or “lee,” meaning a pasture. The shelier, like the pasture, was given up to the use of the livestock. It was, in fact, the medieval counterpart of our barn or stable.
