Large Pullet Eg^s One of the largest pullet eggs ever to startle our optics, was that which was brought to this sanctum by Thos. R- Hunt. The egg, laid by one of his 1945 Rock pullets, measured 7% inches one way and 8% the other- It was hefty for weight too, tipping the scales at 5% ounces- Tom, while he has an eye to businesfe, wouldn't sell the egg or any others like it, as he purposes salt-and-peppering them to feuit his personal taste. â€" Thorn- bury Review-Herald- CANADA WILL SELECT VICTORY DAY DATE Canada likely will select a formal date this year to celebrate als Victory Day as Nov- 11th was marked for the first great war, officials in Otta- wa state.

Financial Position Osprey Township Excellent The Osprey Municipal Council had a busy day at their regular session held on Saturday, Feb. 9tb. when the tenders for the crushing ajid haul- ing of gravel for roads were opened and read by the Superintendent, Mr. Jas McKenzie. These were received from J- A. Dickey, iStayner, who partially completed his contnact in 1946, from L- Turvey, Flesherton, from Sandy Construction Co-, God- erich, and Seeley & Araill of Dunr dalk- All tenders were fully di^uar sed and the merits or demerits of each considered- After a vote by the members of the Co\mcil, the decision was to award the contract to Seeley & -Arnill of Dundalk. Thib youns firm is well acquainted witi the conr ditions under which they will \mpn to work, and it is expected that ex- cellent satisfaction will be the result of this award. The maintainence of township roadfe for winter motor traffic is one more of the problems with which the â- Council ib confronted, as a num'- her of ratepayers were present to present their petition that certain roads be opened and snowploughed, providing weather conitionfe would make t feasible. This will be done after procuring the consent of the Department of Highways to pay the same subsidy paid on other work on roads. The Reeve and Deputy-Reeve were authorized to attend the Good Roa<ft Convention in Toronto, and the CTerk was authorized to attend the conven- tion of the Ontario Assoication of Rural Municipaliies being held dur- ing the same weelo Assessment also came in for a very spirited discussion, as the results of the assessment made in the previous year was anything but satisfactory either to the Council or to the rate- payers- Certain regulations were agreed upon as to the procedure which an Assessor will have to ob- serve, and the Clerk was instructed to advertise for applications for the appointment of an Assessor to do the work for this year. The financial position of the muni- cipality was reported uipon by the Treasurer, and the Council was in- formed that up to the present time no money had had to be borrowed under the Borrowing By-law. It was not expected that this would have to be resorted to for some time at least, as ample funds were on deposit in the bank account to meet current expenses. This is somewhat of a new experience for the municipality, as it is now only reflecting a policy adopted a numbers of years back, which has been strictly adhered to- The Road Superintendent present- ed his voucher amounting to $310-40, which was ordered paid- He was authorized to order a quantity of wire fence to be erected in a number of places where snow collects on roads and causeS considerable ex- pense to open for traffic. General accounts ordered paid were: Mrs. J- Smith- care E- Miller, for January $46-50; J- k- Davidson, car hire to Hanover $7; D. Mclntyre, refund dog tax $2; Treasurer County of Grey, hospital accounts $17-40; Ontario Blank Forms, supplies $70â€" 41: F. H. Xettleton, watches as gifts $67-50.
