There are 138 } domestic services, 48 commercial light I services and two power users. While the above statistics may be dry and uninteresting to some, it shows that the local Hydro System is in a flourishing condition and the Commissioners are hopeful for a re- duction in I'ates for next year, these being set about the mnoth of July.

Deceased was a passenger in his own car, which was being driven by Mr. Ed. Seeley of Maxwell and in which Mr. Montgomery's brother, Mr. Allan Montgomery, was also a pass- enger. There was a heavy snow storm at the time and a mile and a half south of Holland Centre the car left the road and went into the ditch. According to information supplied to Provincial Constable Harry Noble, who investigated the accident, Mr. Charles Montgomery climbed out of the car and proceeded to flag a car driven by Mr. Albert Colgan of Fiesh- erton. Deceased is said to have run into the side of this car, receiving se- vere injuries to his ribs. MT. Colgan's car went into the ditch when he at- tempted to avert an accident, but none of the occupants were seriousy hurt. While Constable Noble was investi- gating the accident another car, driv- en by Mr. Mark Cassells of Meaford, passed the scene of the accident.-!, A few yards down the highway the road curves to the left, with the old road going to the right. Cas.iells stn-ck a telephone pole between the two roads, but no person was .seriously hurt. Following the accident Mr. Mont- gomery was taken to Mr. Seeley's home, but on Saturday was removed to the Orangeville hospital, where his death occurred Tuesday morning. The late Mr. Montgomery was 51 years of age and was a native of Pro- ton, being a son of the Inte Mr. and iVIrs. J. R. Montgomery. Deceased wa.s unmarried, but leaves to mourn bi.s pa.ssiiig two sisters. Mrs. Margaret Stillman of Toronto, and Mrs. Wilfred Thompson of Durham and one broth- er, AUan, of Dundalk.

Ic has been quite a week; the con- glomeration of many matters, odds and ends of legislation which always mark the closing days of the session, was relieved by impoi-tant legislation and interesting incidents. First, Mr. Euler is home, and we are all glad to see him. I last saw him in Canada House, London, on the day that he flew to Moscow. Since then, he has visited many countries particularly the distant dominions of Australia and New Zealand, in the, interests of Canadian trade. The Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett wel- comed the returning traveller wannly, if a bit ironically, and said he wished Mr. Euler would tell the House much of what he had learned. "Particu- larly he could give us first hand in- fonnation regarding dictatorships Chat are not dictatorships and Soviet Unions that are not Soviet Unions. . . . We are glad to see him back so vigorous and healthy and strong in mind to meet the onslaughts which have been made upon jirotection dur- ing his absence (Mr. Euler is a pro- tictionist) . . . His impressions would brighten our days which have been made dark by the attention we have had to pay to our parliamentary dut- ies while he has been enjoying the .sunlight." In his speech of thanks, Mr. Euler replied in the same vein. He dis- claimed having travelled all over the world. He could say a good deal about Russia, but not the dictator of that country, whom he had not seen, "But I did see the dictator in Ger- many, but perhajis I am not quite so well qualified to speak with regard to dictatoi-ships as are some others to whom I might refer." Here Mr. Bennett interrupted to say, "You are returning to the leadership of one." Both these honourable gentlemen ha»e visited New Zealand and Aus- tralia in recent months. "I hope my own leader," said Mr. Euler, will not find fault with me when I tell him that sometimes I described myself as a follower of the Rt. Hon. gentleman opposite, that is I followed him throughout New Zealand and Aus- tralia." "You always have on fis- cal matters," said Mr. Bennett, Mr. Euler went on to pay a glowing trib- ute to Mr. Bennett for the excel- lence of the speeches he had made in the sister dominions "all of which Were good and every-where left the best possible impression." Two important pieces of legislation were considered this week. One has to do with the control of the export of war material from Canada. Wid- ened powers have been given the gov- ernment which will enable a closer check to be kept on both the manu- facture and export of war munitions. Under the new legislation the govern- ment can know promptly and fully who is the manufacturer and where the materials are going, and the Min- ister ma.v at an.v time, by the cancel- lation of a license, stop the export of any particular material to any coun- try. Mr. Bennett and Mr. Woods- worth successfully argued that the t>enalties for violation of the proposed rosrulation be increased from one tn t>n thousand dollars maximum, to- gether with four years imprisonment and confiscation of goods. .Steps to remove the profit motive from traffic in war matci-'.a! may be coupled with the ad<litional power being taken by the government, already referred to. \n analysis of the export of im- portant raw material from Canada last venr showed that .Tapan, Germany. Italy. France. Belgium and the Neth- erlands received the largest quanti- ties of nickel, copper and its products, lead zinc, zinc spelter and scraj) iron. •Tapan's purchases of scrap iron from Canada in 1936 were nearly double those of the nrevious years and her imports of nickel almost twice the a- mount purchased in 1935. Germany and the countries surrounding Ger- many, also greatly increased their purchases of these metals from us. It is surmised that a considerable quan- tity of these important raw war ma- terials eventually found their wa.v to war-mad n.^lions. .^ â-  Th-> seco'ul important piece "f leg- islation had to do with the amending and consolidating of the Combines In- vestigation Act. The Hon. Norman Rogers, who piloted the legislation through the House, said, "A combine of necessity is not declared to be il- legal \fndfii%t,his AcV It is only il- legal when "h operat:&i to the public detriment. The same applies to a merger or a monopoly." When any combination is iniurious to the public provision is niadn for investigation and penalties." Grey Lodge Holds 15th Anniversary Monday evening was another liand- niark passed in the history of Grey Lodge No. 549, .\.F. & A.M., Toronto, when the 15th annivei-sary of its in- ception was observed.

A large number of visitors from almost every Lodge in Grey were present for the occasion, Fiesherton sending down the greatest representation with 22 mem- bers, the number being increased by members residing in Toronto. Out of the 51 chaiter members of the Lodge 11 were present, among whom were three well known Fiesh- erton old boys, F. VanDusen, W. N. Hemphill and Thos. Chard. A most pleasant time was spent in the Lodge room. Wor. Bro.

LeGard, Junior Steward and Thos. Chard. Chaplain, who is also a member of Prince Ar- thur Lodge. A.t the banquet several fine addres- ses wei-e delivered by the Grand Lod. ge officers present and by the re- liresentatives of Grey County Lodges. .Several musical numbers were given, chief of which was a violin solo by R. N. Cornfield, who willingly played two encores. It was a pleasure to hoar him play again. It was a mem- orable night for all who were priv- ileged to attend and best wishes for the success of Grey Lodge were voiced by the visiting brethren, who were appreciative of the splendid recep- tion accorded them.
