In the first race they were only 2 and 1/15 seconds behind Paris who won first money, and in the hook and ladder their time was only 2 and 9/10 seconds more than Niagara Falls who" won first prize. FIFTEEN YEARS AGO From our Issue of August 19, 1926 Among the many enjoyable little affairs arranged in honor of Mrs. Stewart Williams who is leaving for her home in Winnipeg on Thursday were a bridge party by Mrs. Mc- Donald and a verand‘ah tea at the home of Mrs. A.

He then made the presentation on beâ€" half of the city. It consisted of a handsome case of silver, standing about four feet high. A plate on the case bears the following inscription: Presented by the Mayor and Coun- cil of tne Corporation of Toronto to lWilliam J.

There’s been “runs” on ladies’ stock- ings for a long time. To laugh is easy, so they say, So don't but be glum...instead be gay. And practise laughing every day For humour is a habit. Harvest operations throughout York County are pretty well com- pleted. In the main the grain crops in this district have been good. Crops were much easier to handle than last year. A boy had fallen into a river and the kind old lady stopped until he was safely on the bank. “How did you come to fall in?" she asked. “I didn’t come to fall in," he said, “I came to fish.” North York Township is consider- ing the change of building restric- tions. It was felt that more smallâ€" er-sized homes were needed in the North York area to house low-wage earners. Bicycle sales have increased away beyond normal expectations in To- ronto. The request of the Federal Government that gasoline be con- served, has been the cause of the increased demand. Education and military training will be linked together at the Uni- versity of Toronto when the fall term opens. Some of the students will be trained for the various posts and duties in the R.C.A.F.

That four-yearâ€"old story about the Japanese and Chinese might be told now about the Russians and the Ger- mans. Remember it? A Chinese general wrote a letter to a friend about the Sine-Japanese war: J- “vao years ago 1,000,000 Chinese died, and 500,000 Japs are killed in this war. Last year 1,500,000 Chin- ese die and 1,,50E‘L0010 J'aps. This year maybe 2,000,000 Chinese die and 1,500,000 Japs. Pretty soon war overâ€"No more Japanese.” â€"â€" Sud- bury Star.

A dcnizcn of the hills of East Tennessee, who was appearing as a witness in a law suit, was being questiomd as to his educational qualifications by the plaintiff’s law- yer. “Can you write?" asked the law- yer. “Nope. “Can you read?" “Wa‘al, I kin read figgers pretty well. but I don’t. do so good with writin’.” “How is that?” “Va’al, take these here signs a- long the road when I want to go somers; I kin read how fur, but not whurto.” u down consumption by fifty per cent, not just to change gas buying hours. A “bareleg beauty bar” was open- ed in London last week for women who wish to save clothing coupons. For threepence a leg, they can have artificial stockings of rainproof sunâ€" tan lotion sprayed on. A certain editor in an obituary of a man who died in the commun- ity said: “A long procession follow- ed the remains to their last roast- ing place.” Of course the family rushed to the newspaper office to have the error corrected. The editor explained he could not do it until the back subscription the deceased owed had been paid. Prices of most farm products have been gradually increasing states the Current Review on Agricultural Con- ditions in Canada, and in June, 1941, were considerably above those of a year ago. Most rapid increases have been in animal produce prices, particularly cheese, butter, hogs, beef cattle and eggs. Several of these products alâ€" so receive price bonuses from either the Dominion or Provincial govern- ments, or from both. Grain prices generally have shown little change, the market beinlg dominated by the wheat situation. The shepherd's daughter was go- ing to marry a town~dweller.

I wear a 16 collar, and I know my head is bigger than. my neck.” Muskcka Herald: One interesting fact gleaned from the Patrolman’s| Conference in Bracebridge recently was that all these men, who patrol the roads of Muskoka under direc- tion of the Department of Highways are qualified to give first-aid in case of highway accidents. All of them have passed St. John Ambulance tests, and have taken the various re- fresher courses. The safety of the motorist as far as the road condi- tion itself is concerned is in their hands, and beyond that they are prepared to give extra service when, any of the travelling public get into trouble through accident. Credit is due to the men and their superiors who have brought into effect this feature of the Highways Depart- ment services. Teacher: You all know what a mirror is for.
