After the glamor of romance wears off they would find they were living in misery. I think that’s the kind of thing that is reSponsible for so many separations.” “If they couldn’t live on.that a- mount weekly in the Isle of Wight, they certainly couldn’t live on it here," said the mother of a family of three girls. “It would be more than frugality they would have to practise, and then they wouldn‘t get away with it. Why such earnings would no more than pay a very mod- est rent in Richmond Hill.” A woman police magistrate in the Isle of Wight refused a license to such a young couple when the moth- er of the girl asked the magistrate to Sign): them permission. Marry On $14.

One price quoted Islington for the laying of 11,500 feet of sanitary sewer on the Queen Elizabeth high- way was $99,919 while another ten- der for the same job called for $213,110. The proposed sewer is 24 and 30 inch and there were six other tenders for it, the prices quoted ranging between the two foregoing figures. Tenders were also opened for 7,400 feet of storm sewer of the 54 ilch type. The lowest was $55,752 and [the highest $180,710. The fact that it is almost imposs- ible to make a satisfactory contract for the installation of sewers was made evident this week when the Is- ling‘ton council opened tenders for the laying of sanitary and storm sewers. $100,000 Small Change Now In Bids On Sewers The dance which featured music by the famous Bob Gimby and his orchestra attracted a crowd of near- ly a thousand, and was a must suc- cessful event, reflecting great credit on members of the Youth Council who sponsored the event to mark the first anniversary of the organâ€" ization. The Bob Gimby music and special numbers delighted the large crowd of dancers who showered con- gratulations on the sponsor: with the wish that? the event be an annual affair. Novelty games on the mid- way provided fun in between dances and the members of the Women’s Institute served dainty refresh- ments. . In introducing Miss Canédu, J. E.

The 5.30 pm. radial laden with passengers for the Richvale and Richmond Hill districts approached, and when the operator saw what the trouble was ahead, he announced the cause and added that there would be a delay. Folks whose regular stop was near- by left the car and started to walkâ€"â€" and to make their walk truly enjoy- able what had been a drizzle became a genuine rain fall. Others remain- ed on the car. Then in about ten minutes up came the repair truck. Ten minutes more and the crew decided it was a major repair job that ,was involved. Ten “Car ‘off the tracks!"

'Discussion on the projects throughout the day was led by N. J. Thomas of the O.A.C., Guelph and Agricultural Re- presentative W. M. Cockburn. Farms visited included Dalton Rumney, Victoria Square; R. Bay- croft, Gormley; R. Pearce, Aurora; J. H. Wallwork & Son, Ballantrae and Jack Petrie, Sharon. Pasture plots were located on all these farms except the latter who along with Messrs. Wallwork had potato plots on which an extra application of potash showed excellent results. The demonstration mixtures for pasture seeding aroused a great deal of at- tention having stood up so well through the dry weather. Lunch was enjoyed at Percy Ash‘s picnic grounds overlooking Lake Wilâ€" cox where short addresses were made by Frank Marritt, Keswick, President of the York County Crop Improvement Association; Charles Hooper, Gormley, Chairman, County Agricultural Committee and Capt.

They will be placed with farmers on a yearly con- tract but of course both parties must be satisfied. These men who have been- screen- ed carefully by Canadian officials should arrive early in OctOber and our Agricultural Representative, W. M. Cockburn, of Newmarket, has asked for at least 30 of these veter- ans for York farmers.
