of hair et down ttulde our shirts they itched and pricked us half to death and pulling boys hair hurts sometime a boy would peep aloud and sometimes pauierd swear but bauits would do no less than that had they to cut boys hair then when the job was finished and the wreckage cleared away hed take the littlest on his lap and coll us round and say hes sorry hed displeased us then hed soberly declare that life held far worse hurts than thatl when father cut our hair and wed hang round and listen to the wonder tales hed tell bottvetlnies we laughed and sometimes cried for rather told them well and when he kissed us all ooodnleht and sent us toward the stair we loved him sot why any time wed let him cut our hair i how fathers gone the kitchen too the days are grown to years i and sometimes when im all alone my eyes grow thick with tears ah oodl could we turn back again i rd love to hear him swear to sit in that old kitchen and let rather cut my hair i edward ormerod halton rifles the volunteers op lttft continued front last week it u fitting that the first chapter of this book of chronicles should be dedicated to the four independent companies of red coats that formed the basis of the organisation of the halton regiment in 188 colonel noble and llajor grant have provided me with records as to the dates and organisation of these com panies as well as the personel of the original regiment and from these re cords i am drawing the material for this chapter on the 18th of december 1m1 the ookvllle company was authorised with george k ohuholm in command and with john barclay and wm b chls- holm the subaltern officers on the oth of january 183 the stewarttown company was gaaetted with john murray in command and john johtt- ston and oeorge w black the subal tern officers it is an interesting commentary that tuewarttown in these days was capable of supporting a company of forty five all ranks but that was before the economic and industrial changes hod depopulated the rural districts and concentrated the population about the cities and larger centers the georgetown company was gts- etted on january 30th lies and its officers were captain james young with wm w roe and john r bar ber his subordinates in the nerval company gaaetted peb ttth lies the officers were joseph kyle in command and oervsjsep power the ensign as second lieuten ants were called in those yatmysv the acton company wis organised in lsas and william allan was in command and james bymon and alex brown were the lieutenants with the organisation of this company be gan the service of major grant sendee that covered nearly forty years the greater part of it as quar ter master but more of this honorable service later according to these records com panies were established in milton nelson and nassagaweya in ism and the regiment was authorised on a seven company basis though they did not get together till 1s6s when the companies assembled at oakvule and a decision was reached to make it a rifle corps clothed in rifle green port of which was paid for out of the mens pay the original regiment was officered as follows 188- 1871 cot geo k- ohuholm major john murray adj john rait ing

compbellvule capt j lyons it would seem that the four original companies were oakvule georgetown nerval and bteworttown and many of these men were in the companies that volunteered for service during the trouble of 18w when canada with a poorly organised multla force was sud denly called to defend her frontier against an invasion that must have looked foraldswe in those days when the defences were so inadequate in 1000 the british government is sued a medal for oeneral service in canada in un and itto end the presentation of these directed the attention of the service of these stalwart men who had volun teered without lirotuurc and offered their servlcm at a time when the sit uation looked very serious and who after tluit service had been rendered tifld fitted back into uve economic sit uation laying aside the rifles and knousacks and addressing llvemselves to uve aria of peace it is doubtful if any group of men were more active in tit industrial and economic life of die county uton uiee veterans of ibm their history is the hutory of the development of the county during tlvose decades before tlve close of the century many of them went into business some of them went to their trades but most of them like cinclnnatus went back to their farms it was my privilege to see a parade of utoee veterans in 1001 just after they had been decorated and though samewliat declined into uie vale ot years they were a noble looking body or men a worthy basis of organisation for uie halton regiment captain johnston was in command and every inch o captain he was too and like bear with that something in his face that men would fain call matter au thority they added much color to the life or the country with the scarlet and white ribands that bore testimony of a voluntary service to the empire and tlvey gave a living promise utat should the empire again need men the county would be ready with a full measure of service and in uie years to come that promise was fully deemed it is a long way bock to 1880 and these veterans are for the most part a memory a state into which all things pass even wars but they formed tht background of the hal ton regiment it was their hands and hearts that buut the foundations on which the present institution rests the work was well done continued next week notes and comments a man wul go out and buy half n dosen cigars at ten cents each lose one of them and break two in hla pocket and laugh it off but let his taxes bo increased by 00 cent and he loses nine hours sleep and does enough grousing to postpone a war taxes ure regarded as lifes worst calamity pensions roe everybody quite a lot of discussion has been caused in england over the applica tion 0 the earl of birkenhead for a pension of five thousand pounds 1 year which be is entitled to as an ex- lord chancellor lord birkenhead has forsaken politics and gone into dutlnes where he appears to be al ready on the high road to earning on enormous income the prevailing view of the noble lords conduct in demanding his rightful pension while till able to earn a tnsgnuieent income is that he is playing the game some what low down and taking advantage of a position in which he is technically right but socially wrong apart altogether from lord birken heads attitude to pensions it is well to consider the question of pensions from the standpoint of all of us when all is sold that might be sold in favor of pensioning public servants lt all holds true about everybody else by what straining of right is the usually well paid dvu servant more deserving of a pension at say sixty than the ordinary worklngman or worklngwom- an the clerk the bookkeeper the sten ographer the coouieavcr the miner every one of these and all the other workers not mentioned is a public ser vant most of them have been engaged in the productive occupations or it may be reproductive ones by their labor and the fruits of their toll they have been helping to maintain the army of public tervsnts tram prime ministers down or up as the case may be at a fairly high level of com fort and ease having maintained these various dvu and civic employ ee while working in the public ser vice the general body of workers must also continue to maintain them or most of them after their retire ments but nobody thinks of pen sioning those who hove paid the pen sions of the other people i the ctvu service at ottawa the servants of our several provincial governments the employes of our various municipal authorities our judges and policemen oil these and many others directly or indirectly receive pensions even the senate is composed of a number of noutlclons who have been pensioned by the county for their services to a party let the pensions go all round i all cltisens reaching the age of let us say sixtyfive should receive a pension from the country provided they are engaged in no occupation that keeps another person out of employment the cost of it in comparison with the benefits securing would be slight a trifling readjustment of the incidence of taxation would finance pensions for everybody while the saving in the up keep of institutions for the aged and decrepit the lessening of calls upon private charity and the financial re lief brought to the relatives of those unable to work would far outweigh the burden of expense of pensions to the country incidentally this would do more to solve the problem of se curing population for canada from the british isles than anything else we could do people wul not leave the old country for canada if it involves forfeiture of

through those who delight in rushing out a few minutes before an entertainment is finished seems bound to conunue to laugh and to jeer at uie small town and at main street is consid ered smart in literary circles main street may have its faults a narrow vision and backbiting but after all main street is a grand old place what do the youths who grow up in chicago or new york know of the glories of life experienced in a small town the great city in addition makes for supreme seulsnness a man lives to himself and for him self he does not know nor does he want to know his apartment neighbor he may be able to go to the theatre and hear great lectures but after am he lives in a narrow round where main street exists one rejoices in the happiness and the good luck of his neighbors and sympa thises with them in their sorrows and their misfortunes main street frelndshlps are worth more than all the acquaintances of broadway or state street after all there is no thing so worth while in life as friend ships the kind of friendships which can be developed only in the intim acies of main street now that thrills ore in style with uie younger generation why not make them popular among those of us who boast or apollglse of thirty forty fifty or even sixty birthdays many an eye will sparkle and many a heart wul throb with delight if a gift of candy from hubby be found on the breakfast or dinner table or slipped lovelshly beneath the pillow it will bring back old times and prove to be more valuable than many a gift ten times as expen sive it may be a box of candy a bag of candy a jar of candy or a collec tion of bars each woman has her favorite and each man knows what this favorite is even though time has allowed him to forget the thrill such gifts brought during sweeuieart days there lsnt even the excuse of its not good for you that was formerly given in all sincerity for we have learned that pure candy is a good food and that something else is re sponsible for the sins once laid upon its tasty shoulders so give the good wife a thrill this week by presenting her with a gift that you have almost forgotten how to present you will be amply repaid when you see the smile that
