VOL. LII. The troubles of some dairymen on our line do not come single handed) Of late two have been notified that their milk is not up to proper cream test. Following this the man to Whom they Were shipping deliberately took about forty dollars apiece from their cheques. This looks like gen- uine daylight robbery and we think shippers of whole milk to this dairy had better keep their eyes open. PLAYED TRICK ON‘ COASTABLE Not' only do dairymen have troubles with their test, but a constable who had occasion to visit Gormley on Sat- urday With his motor car, found on returning to it after some absenw that the contents of his radiator was far below test with the result that Jack Frost had his car well in hana. Some busy body had apparently re- placed his antifreeze with water while the constable was away on business. Mr. William Klees rather unfortun- ately lost; fifty dollars in bills from his poaket a few evenings past. The following morning as Mr. Gerald Lyon was travelling to the corner he spied LOST FIFTY BUT FOUND FORTY NINE a green back in the snow and on close examination he found it was a five “lucky” though he a few yards farther and luck was again his. History kept repeating itself and the farther he journeyed the wealthier he became. A limit was reached at forty nine doll- ms. Mr. Klees soon had his lost treasures in safe keeping. To scatt- er fifty dollars to the winds and re- gain all but one seeins rather lucky. Lucky to have an honest man find it.

A thoroughly pleasant evening’s en- tertainment is the general report of the many who attended the play In the Public Hall here on Friday even- ing, presented by the Victoria Square dramatic club. The play from begin- ning to end was clean, wholesome, re- fined, some instances quite serious while in others very tragic. Every artist acted his part very creditably. Messrs Thomson and Chadwick supâ€" plied several instrumental selectlons between the acts which were thorou- ghly enjoyed by all. A pleasant event of the evening was the presentation of a handsome pen knife and chain to the director of the play, Mr. E. J. M. Hitchcock by the members of the club, as a slight token of their appreciation of his efâ€" forts in training and assisting them to develop their talents in this sphere. ‘ Messrs John and Glenn Smith, Rolph and Earl Empringham, James Dennie and Misses Pearl and Eva T-ennie enjoyed the play in the hall on Friday evening. Neighbouring communities who are looking for two or three hours good entertainment we think would consult their own interests in calling the di- rector for terms.

Charity.” 101:0: County Prepares For Court Action On The Radials night, Controller Claude Pearce re- aifirmed the stand taken by the City of Toronto that the Metropolitan Rad- ials will be abandoned on March 15th. The County Council on the other hand remains firm in its stand that such will not take place and are going a- head with preparation to fight the proposal in the courts. A. G. Slaght iimminent counselvof Toronto has been ‘appointed to act for the County in the place of Col. T. H. Lennox who canâ€" not act on account of his association with the Toronto Transportation Com-1 misswn. ‘ It will be two weeks to-morrow sin- co the York County transportation committee met the Board of Control and were given time to come back to the Board with some proposition. Why the City which owns the line and has been operating it had no propOSltlon to offer is difficult to understand. It Speaking in Toronto on Wednesday| is understood however that the City wants the County to either take over the road ,or accept responsibility for deficits. Just how much the City would be Willing to take for the line or what agreement regarding deficits the City would consider has never been stated. ' ' The County Council has shown little interest in the deficit sharing propo- sition or in the purchasing of the line and will go to court to compel the op- eration of radials on the strength of existing agreements. There has been no public statement from Hon. G. S. Henry, Minister of Highways and member of the legis- lature for East York and under whose department the gesponsibility for bus permits rests. During the last pro- ' \‘incial election campaign Hon. Mr. Henry stated that he favored a radial ‘service and would do all in his power 1to have the service continued. He stated moreover-that/the permit issu- ed about a year ago for the operation of busses was issued in his absenCe and on the assumption that it was of no particular moment of the radial service. It is quite apparent now that that permit issued by the Depart- ment of Highways Was of very great moment to the radials and unless something is done very quickly it will spell the doom of this service which means so much to the residents of. York County. In view of the serious- ress of the present transportation sit- uation on Yonge Street it is hoped that Hon. G. S. Henry Will give a practical demonstration of his concern for the residents of this district by cancelling the existing permit for the operation of busses and thus end the controversy which now threatens to rob the North Yonge Street of a rad- ial service and substitute a bus serVIce which the people do not want. CITY STILL DETERMINED TO ABANDDN â€"â€" HON. G. s. HENRY STILL SILENT 0N BUS PERMIT The regular monthly meeting of the Women’s Institute held last Thursday at the home of Mrs. Taylor, was most interesting. The programme given by members of the Aurora Institute, took the form of a “Radio Broadcast” consisting of community singing, voc- al and instrumental numbers; also two splendid papersâ€"“Making yourself interesting” by Mrs. Grey and “Curâ€" rent events” by Mrs. Welsh. The programme closed with a humorous ‘sketch, entitled “The business meet- ing'.” A social hour brought this de- lightful meeting to a close.
