Tuesday night a committee of the church presented the evangelist with a substantial cheque given by the people who have attended the services as a thankof- fering.

The dis- cussion developed into an argument over a box drain which was causing water to enter Mr. Dean's cellar but no satisfactory solution was reach- ed. Mr. Matthews thought the village would be in a good position if they remained in the Towaship. Coun. resentative for that section, received $45,000 each year to be spent there and necessary improvements could be made. Mr. Doyle objected to the meeting being influencéd in this manner. He did not propose to stay in the same position for ever and ever without any samitary convemiences. Four- fifths of the cellars were flooded with water and it would net be long before the private drains would be stopped. Chairman Matthews aver- red that if four-fifths of the cellars in Cedar Dale were in that condition nine-tenths of the cellars in Oshawa were in a similar position. Amendment Carries At this juncture C. Gibson made a motion that the agreement be for- warded to the Township Council which was seconded. Joseph Staple- ton contended that the meeting was out of order. He was of the opinion that the ratepayers shduid vote on the annexation gquestion® before any representation was made. E. Pow- ers followed this statement with an amendment to the motion to the ef- fect that the agreement be withheld and let the Town of Oshawa come 10 them with terms. Mr. Stapleton averred that from personal observ- ance, SO per cent. of the ratepayers were opposed to annexation and in that case the whole thing was out of order. Mr. Pankhurst seconded the the amendment carried by a small | majority. Ladies' Patent one-strap Shoes, low heels $3.95 Ladies' Brown, Black or Patent Pumps and.

THE CASE OF THE EDITOR The Press, Lomond, Alberta-- A youngster whese father was edi- tor of a small town daily, was asked to write a composition on Profes- sional Men. i "When an editor makes a mistake | there is a lawsuit and swearing and a big fuss; when a doctor makes one there is a funeral, cut flowers and perfect silence. A doctor can use a big werd a yard long without him or anybody knowing what it means: bait if the oditor uses one he has to spell it. A doctor can 50 10 see al- other man's wife he charges for the visit: but if the editor goes he gets | a chatge of buckshot. When the doc- tor gets drunk it is a case of being overdone by the heat and if he dies | it is from heart trouble; when the H editor gets drunk it 1s a casc of 100 i much booze, and if he dies it is the jim-jams..
