Rowe, of Euclid Avenue Church, Miss Isabel Turner of Uxbrid-ge, to Mr. Charles P. Wiley of Richmond Hill. King and Vaughan Plowmen’s As- sociations have both held‘ their anâ€" nual banquets, and both proved en- joyable affairs. The former was held at St. George’s Hotel, Schomberg, and the latter at Sullivan’s Hotel, Pine Grove. Dr. Brereton was chair- man at Schom-berg and' Reeve Wall- ace of Woodbrid‘ge occupied a simi- lar position at Pine Grove. G00d speeches were made on both occasions and all present seemed- to think that a'banquet is the proper way to wind up the business of the year.

Total of far exceeds 1936. The 262 cars. In addition seven carloads and new clothing and other were distributed. Donations and. goods in kind amounted 15' $20,000. The voluntary relief committee last week at Regina completed a cem- pilation of shipments to drought sufâ€" ferers which indicates 771 cars of foodâ€"stuffs were received during 1937. The Midland Free Press sends out this S. O. 8.: “Will our fellow edi- tors please “tell us the best defence to offer for' printing a story which says that the ladies of the United Church have arranged for a bazaar ‘to be HELL’? We did it last week, and we didn’t dare go to the bazaar for fear we’d get the devil.” A flock of Merganser geese were sighted in Meaford haubour last week. They were jet black on the back and White underneath. Many of them remain during the winter. Good Friday will be late this year, falling on April 15th. In 1943 Good Friday will be on April 23rd, the lat est possible date. It is determined by the phases of the moon'. Bert McEach rn of'Tait’s Corners. Ont, says the triplet calves born to a cow at his farm 30 miles west of London, are doing fine. The calves born last November, were believed so unusual a stock company is feed- ing them for advertising purposes. Up in Simcoe the two district re- presentatives have compiled a state- ment showing- the number of sheep killed in the county in the past five years and the amount of money paid out in sheep bounties. No less than 4,240 sheep have been killed by dogs in the five year period and the a- mount of money paid by t0wns-hip councils to reimburse sheep owners for their loss‘ totals the enormOus sum of $57,234. The coldest spot on earth is not at either pole, says John Theaman in Globe magazine. It’s a town in Siberia known as Werchojarnsk; here the temperature often falls as low as 80 below zero, and has gone as low as 535.6. The natives of this town live in crude wooden huts, With wind-owis of thin ice cemented in place by pouring on water which freezes quickly around the edges. Walking in such cold air causes the breath to freeze, falling to the ground in a white powder. On Feb. 6th, Mr. Alexander Mac- Murchy. of Strange, celebrated his 83rd birthday. As the son of a King Township pioneer the late Norman MacMurchy, and as a citizen» of dis- tinguished public career, Mr. Mac- Murchy is widely known throughout York County, and can count among his friends, the humble and the high from both old and yOung. As ex- warden of York County, Mr. Mac- Murchy was a guest at the recent Warden’s banquet, held in Toronto late in the fall. The Liberal has had many enquir- ies if it is our intention to advance subscription rates. In spite of the fact that all costs in connection with the publishing business have increas- ed, also that all daily papers and many weekly papers have already advanced their prices, The Liberal will remain at $1.50 per year in Can- ada and $2.00 per year in the United States. A judge asked a prisoner if there was any reason why he should not be sentenced to ten years at hard labour. The prisoner told him he could not think of any. but he was sure his lawyer could because that was why he hired him. After people have eaten! church suppers, worth twice what they paid for them, they feel they have made a noble contribution to the cause of religion. The County fathers adjourned last Thursday after one of the longest sessions in many years. General News & Views 771 cars of food-stuffs the total shipped during total that year reached amounted to near- of used articles of cash Reeve Earl Toole felt that certain producers in York County had cause for grievance. He beIieved that an increase of represenrtation on the Milk Board! might improve matters greatly. Man! is not the creature of circum- stances. Circumstances are the crea- tures of man. True friend‘s visit us in prosper- ity only when invitedr, but in advers- ity they come without imitation. “I've been threatened also that I would be shut off from. a market if I‘didn’t keep my mouth shut,” de- clared the deputy-reeve from Mark- ham. “All I want, and all the other farmers desire, is a square deal. We aren’t asking for any special conces- sions.” He contended that certain farmers hadn’t been treated any too well by the large distributors and that he himself was shut off from a portion of his market with only one day’s notice when two weeks should: have been given. Deputy-Reeve Hooper contended many letters were sent to the board complaining against lack of prompt- ness in: payment by distributors but only a few had} Been acted- upon. “The Milk Control Act of Ontario has been of great benefit; to dairy farmers and it would be even greatâ€" er if properly enforced,” stated Mr. Hooper. “I’ve had my battles, but I would like to give the Milk Board a chance. I think an» increase in its personnel would expedite business and: tend towards more efficiency.” Claiming that the personnel of the Ontario Milk Board was too small to efficiently look after grievances of farmers, Deputyâ€"Reeve Charles Hooper of Markham last week moved a resolution in county council, which was adopted, calling for an increased representation for producers.
