Shopping in Port Credit, she parked her English model car, and went about her business. Mission completed, she returned, failed to notice two of the abbreviated cars were parked bumpér to bumper, got out her keys, got into one of them, and drove home. For the next three hours, police checked and double checked the mystery of the "stol- en" vehicle.

Dipping deep into the old files of the Totonto Daily Mail of 1893, editor Walter Biehn last week came up with an interest- ing historical treatise in his Georgetown Herald The old Mail devoted a four page spread to Georgetown, first settled in 1820, thereby providing Mr. Biehn with a wealth of informative data. It is certain that Herald readers found much of personal interest in Walter's historical delving. Bv= en this commentator, who had never been in Georgetown up un- til three years ago, learned that several of his forbears had located in that centre in 1837, when the settlement bore the somewhat un- euphonious name of Hungry Hol- low. Mr. Biehn's article was the first of a contemplated series. NEW INDUSTRY A. P.
