A rush trip to Toronto had to be made to locate Judge F, J. MacRae to sign the papers. * "I accepted it willingly because I have no desire to evade the issue," Mr, Bain said today. "If after talk- ing it over with my council, I feel that it would be better to with- draw year, then I will send my resignation to the county clerk, So far, our council has felt the same as the majority of my rate- payers -- that I have been elected legally and am entitled to sit on County Council.

Yesterday, Mr. Bain consulted with his solicitor.

Honor Memory Of Robert Burns At St. Andrew's They bore the haggis aloft, re- velled in the time - honored music of the pipers, and heard a pro- gram of Scotch and other num- bers at the annual Burns night in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, all in honor of the lowly Scottish bard whose memory is revered to- day throughout the warld where- ever sons and daughters "o the heather are to be found. Further- more, the address to ¢ haggis, de- livered as only Matthew Kerr can deliver it, and as he had for many years at similar functions, added just the right touch to the festive occasion. The event was sponsor- ed by St. Andrew's Men. The evening began with a tur- key supper with all the trimmings, which over 300 from Oshawa, Whit- by and other places, enjoyed. The | tables were spread twice to take care of the crowd, and to the fine repast all appeared to do ample justice. Those who had to wait in the auditorium while their num- bers were called were entertained by Robin Nicholson who played Scotch and other numbers on the fine Casavant organ. Later, tween the supper and concert, Mrs, George Holliday rendered organ numbers. The haggis was carried in, with full ceremony, on the shoulders of A. Walker and James Ross, pre- ceeded by Pipers Donald MacLel- lan and George Bell and Drummer John MacLachlan, of Oshawa. Over the gathering in the Sun- day School room after the supper the minister, Rev. David Marshall, presided, and his well sense of hu- mor added to the enjoyment and spirit of the occasion. Numbers on the program includ- ed a solo by J. Reid; song, "Pretty Baby', by Louis Davidson; solo, Jon Wilson; selections by pipers and drummer; Scotch dance, Nan- cy Reid; duet, Jack Frost and Mar- ion McClement; brief address, Rev. D. Marshall; solo, Marion McCle- ment; dance, Nancy Reid; Scotch reading, Matthew Kerr: selection by J. Frost and A. Crawford; song, Louis Davidson: solo, Joan Wilson; duet, Joan Wilson and Marion Mec- Clement; skit, J. Frost and A. Crawford; the pipes and drum; Scotch reel, an old time hoe down by a group from the church; Auld Lang Syne, Mrs. P. N. Spratt was the accompanist for the evening.

"The biggest accident fac- tor is the human element our, own habits and attitudes.

It is an established fact that cro- codile worship was for a time a definite part of the religion in some parts of Egypt. In fact, notes the National Geographic Society, EI Faiyum was once known as Cro- codilopolis and was the centre of reverence for the reptiles. The main temple of Souchos, the Egyptian Sobk or crocodile god, was at Crocodilopolis. Other small- er temples were scattered through- out the area. The Greek geograph- er Strabo describes these buildings and the care and.feeding of the sacred beasts. TEMPLE ANIMALS Each temple, however, had only one pet crocodile at a time, and Strabo indicates that after death these were mummified and buried in special tombs, or Soucheia, These individual tombs, none of which have been found, apparently were elaborate memorials to the sacred reptiles. In contrast, the simple family graveyard for cro- codiles has been uncovered for three decades. There are no markings over the crocodile cemetery. It consists of a series of shallow graves dug in the desert sand. In each grave are {found two six to eight foot croco-| diles, presumably the father and mother, 'and a varying number of babies. All are elaborately mum- mified and wrapped in yards of inen. The rhummies of the young are frequently fakes, bundles of straw containing a single crocodile bone Montreal Foursomes Top At Seignory SEIGNIORY CLUB, Que.
