tost municipal councillor appointed to office under the amendments to the municipal act passed last year by the ontario gov ernment commenting on the appointment which was made following the resignation of a member of council the arthur enterprisenews says mr anderson will no doubt make an excellent muni cipal legislator and his election will in all probability meet with the general approval of the electors generally neverthe less he really has no mandate from these electors to transact their business and his election while perfectly legal owing to manipulations of hon mitchell hepburn and his associates is not in accordance with the good old democratic principles which are now at stake in the present war coming closer to home we learn that three members of the acton council have for various reasons tendered their resignations from public office a h maodonald has moved from acton to flesherton w j o oakes is recuperating from a severe illness and j h creighton finds war work at the beardmore plant takes all of his time the voters of our neighbouring village turned thumbs down on the twoyear term bylaw when it was voted upon last december and con tinuing under the old system they will hold a regular nomination meet ing and election we can only too well imagine the howl which would go up if had acton voters voted the same way as georgetown the mayor and remaining

of maodonald hall where the girfe stud household science this comprises a total of about eighty girls and it may be that those who desire to continue their training in this field will be able to carry on at the kempuille school dormatories a few classrooms and the main dining hall havt been turned over to the rcaj to be used for a wireless school which will bring 1500 airmen to the city thls means that students at the college will have to find boarding accommodation in private homes in the city no easy job since there has been an influx of workers emplojed in the zephyr looms and other war factories it is not however an impossible situation and no doubt guelph homes will be opened to the students who put many dollars into circula tion in the city the one hundred professors at die college will also breath a sigh of relief after two or three weeks of wondering what the future held in store for them 68 years ago this month agricultural college history dates back to march 1873

the old farm buildings while a subsequent blaze in 1888 swept some of the newer structures erected in the meantime was after the second fire that a building program was started which over a period of years led to the construction of the present modem build- inn among the finest boasted by any educational institution on the con tinent and worth mflho or dollars the most recent f these was the
