They have again advertised, this time for $1,100. The Board will meet to- morrow to consider applications. The craze for collecting junk can be carried too far. Over at Wingham, the story is told of the little red schoolhouse of School Section No. 3, Grey Township. The school bell is mysteriously missing. It seems the bell was there when the janitor clos- ed Vup the building at the end of school, but when the trustees came to make their tour of inspection the bell was gone. Just where it is gone nobody: seems to know, and the un- happy janitor, thinking that perhaps some of the school bad boys had re- moved the bell, rounded them up. However, the lads advaned the argu- ment that it w0uld hardly be worth their while to remove the bell when no school was being held. So, the only explanation left is that some junk dealer took it, since every piece of metal has a value these daysâ€"Shel- burne Free Press. Mr. F. McConaghy is adding to the appearance and comforts of his home by erecting a veranda on the side facing Yonge Street. He is also lay- ing a cement walk from the sidewalk to the veranda. At the last meeting of the Board of Education the estimates were struck for the year as followszâ€"For Public School purposes, $1,550; for High School, $300. Principle LamOn’s salary was raised frOm $600 to $650 a year. Mrs. Charles Duffy, who was on a visit at her nephew‘s, Mr. William Carley’s, King City, died at that place on Sunday last after an atâ€" tack of pleurisy. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon. WAY BACK IN LIBERAL FILES After a lot of hard work and a good deal of money judiciously spent, East Centre Street may now be said to be in a very satisfactory co‘ndition. The members of the council are to be commended on. the great improve- ment of the road leading from Yonge Street to the C.N.0_ station. First a strip of land had to be purchased on the south side to widen the street, then it was all enclosed with wire fence. Next it had to be thoroughly underdrained. This has been done, and the road is nicely graded and levelled. The council hope to put a coat of gravel on this street be- fore the fall work commences, and later a sidewalk will be laid for pedestrians. a heavy crop and a good yield were never better, but the heavy rain has inflicted seTious injury. Some of the farmers in- Maple sec- tion of the country are naturally- feel- ing blue over the continued rains which have flattened corn, barley, oats and nearly all kinds of grain, level with the ground. Prospects for From our Issue of July 25th, 1907 From our Issue of July 29th, 1897 A new band stand on the corner of Yonge Street and Lorne Avenue, close to the Metropolitan Waiting Room, is the latest acquisition to our Village. It is octagonal and when finished will present a neat appear- ance. It was occupied for the first time on Saturday evening, and it was remarked by many that our mu- sicians never played to better advant- age. The band purpose occupying the same quarters every Saturday evening during the summer months. A special joint c0mmittee of the Commissioners of York and Feel Counties met at the Court House on lTonday morning to make definite arrangements for a new bridge over Mimico Creek. Those present were Warden Davidson, Councillors Chest- er, Woodcock, Evans and Engineer Macdougall, of York County, and Warden Graydon, Councillors Burton, Norval and Sir Melville Parker of Peel County. Tenders were opened and the contract for the superstruc- ture was awarded to Mr. J. H. Hamâ€" blyn, of Toronto, for $347.50. Sev- eral accounts were passed and other routine business transacted before the meeting adjourned. At the last meeting of the Board of Education the contract for the brick and mason work for the new High School was given to Mr. John Kelly. THIRTY YEARS AGO FORTY YEARS AGO GOING TOO FAR The city assessor’s department of Glasgow, Scotland recently sent a document to a lady in which her occupation was listed as “French ‘pol'isher.}’ The department, in turn, received from the lady her coagra- tulations on their describing so aptly her occupation, adding however, that for official purposes it would prob- ably be more convenient it it ap- peared as “Lecturer in French at the University of Glasgow.” The strangest civic custom of mod. ern times is still practiced in Lhasa, Tibet. The privilege of being mayor of the city for the first 23 days of the year is sold» by auction. The highest bidder takes over the mayoral duties, rules the city as he thinks fit, and keeps all the money he can raise through additional taxation and fanCy‘ fines. Summer is slipping past â€"â€" only: a few weeks until Exhibition open- Under new Department of Educa- tion regulations, schools will reâ€"open after the summer vacation on Wedâ€" nesday, September 1. Two school days later there will be another holi- day, the first Monday of the month. The opening date is earlier this year in view of the fact that the first falls on a Wednesday. Had it come later in the week the classes w0uld have been closed until Tuesday after Labor Day. Loans under the Home Improve- ment Plan made a total of slightly over six million dollars up to June '15. Of this, about 14 per cent have been on 2404 farm properties. 0n- tario farmers borrowed the most, $330,666.41. Alberta was next with $123,000.63, but Saskatchewan took advantage of the Plan only to the extent of $25,196.17. Little Prince Edward Island had 86 loans for a total of $18,762.85. age. It is no wonder serious acci~ dents grow more common on our highways when drivers of this type are permitted to operate. Long term cancellation of driving permit afte: two offences is the :best cure for such law breakers and the safety of the public demands that it be ap- plied. Between June 16, 1932, and July 7, 1937, one Toronto motorist was convicted eight times for various in- fractions of the traffic laws and was mixed up in three accidents involv- ing either personal or property dam- ing. Farmers throughout York County report a bounteous crop, which should spell a lot of prosperity. White strawberries that taste like bananas were found by Dave Gal- braith of Meaford, growing in a patch of long grass within the town limits. At first he thought the berâ€" ries were unripe, but on close in- spection they proved to be quite ma- ture. The late George R. Gray used to tell of an Algoma lumberjack who 'applied to St. Peter for entrance. But the keep'er of the heavenly gate had ‘had‘ lumberjacks before, and had exâ€" perienced considerable trouble with them. Heaven didn’t agree with peo- ple who wanted to sit up half the night shouting and throwing things around. So the request was met with a firm refusal. But Pete Lajoie, who had had a long foremanship in lumber camps to his. credit pleaded for the man. “Aw, let him in," he said, “he’ll jump in a couple of days, anyway.” â€"â€"Sault Star. General News & Views The prairie provinces have receiv- ed less rain this year for fall and ‘growing season combined than at any other time in the past sixty years. Calculations, worked out in a per- centage of the longtime average, show that Saskatchewan has receiv- ed 48 percent of normal rainfall. Man says a mosquito can fly 14 hours without settling. Then Why doesn’t itYâ€"Sault Star. Some idea of the difficult-31 that the western municipalities are hav- ing with their financing, may be gained by the fact that the city of Winnipeg has acquired one-third of its- total area, through tax sales for nonâ€"payment of municipal rates.

Increase your tire mileage? Cut down your oil bills? Get more miles to the gallon of gas? Such questions may seem far removed from accident prevention programs, but in appealing to automobile operators through their pocketbooks, the Indus- trial Accident Prevention Associa- tions is pointing out, in a special 'report just issued, that when you keep your speed down you save lives,” since lower speeds give great. er control of the car amt help avoid accidents. GRANDMA WORST OFFENDER Denouncing the “indecent” dreSS of women and young girls of to-dayn, Rev. John Dodds, pastor of South End Baptist Church, Owen Sound, also claimed that there was a general weakening of morals throughout the country and that the sanctity of the home, with its family prayer and meditation, no longer existed. “This is something to think about;” the report concludes, “drive at a rea- sonable speed and save money â€"â€" and save lives.” At high speeds, oil is consumed faster than at reasorxable speeds; tire wear is greater; gasoline con- sumption is much greater; and there is a greater wear and tear on the car itself when running at unreason- ably high speeds. He cited a case where the father of a family came home at midnight; the daughter at 1 a.m., mother an hour later, and she was greeted with the words from daughter, “Don’t lock the door yet, Grandma isn’t in yet.” Excessive speed increases the cost of operating a car, whereas the thinking motorist who drives at a reasonable rate of speed is not only reducing- his costs .but obeying the law in his consideration of all who are travelling on the streets and highways.
