An informal question period followed the speech and every question received a most satisfac- tory answer, even to the one re- garding the blight on the coni- fers. No one, however, had a favourable word for the poor rose chafers. Ontario Agricultural College had only pricked the conscience of his audience by the one statement, "Don't leave a lawn-mower on the grass and tell your children to get to work, even with a cash re ward, and expect them to love a garden," he would have been worth listening to. But he had a great deal more to say than that when he addressed the Arts and Crafts Wednesday night, and all of it constructive. He told by many little stories how to interest a child in flow- ers, a garden, and a general love of nature. With coloured chalk and a witty and intelligible stream of conversation, he made a cot- tage beautiful from a blackboard drawing of a bare new house, He illustrated what shrubs to plant, where and why. He simplified the Scene from "The Huck- sters" starring Clark Gable --Starting Monday at the Gregory el We have a Perfume That's just right World - Prof. Weall Address Arts and a Ling as captain. So, girls, you can take your choice. A girl can be enrolled as a Guide in a month after she starts to attend meetings. That is if she learns the tenderfoot test. There is nothing difficult about it. The 10 Guide laws and the Guide promise have to be memor- ized. A Guide must know the construction of the Union Jack and how to fly it. It would be a very good thing if all adults would learn to know when the Union Jack is upside down. There wouldn't be so many places in distress. There are also wood- craft signs to learn. These are usually learned in the woods on hikes. Of course there are knots to learn, too, which are always useful. o After a girl becomes an en- rolled Guide, she starts on her 2nd class tests.

Reeve Chambres said that had he been present at the meeting Where the motion was passed he would have expressed the opin- ion that the public should have been given a chance to express their wishes. "While I am not against anyone taking a drink, I think we should have found out if the retailers were against it," he stated. Councillor Milne said 'he had talked to over 100 people and had only found two who expressed a mild dislike for the store. He said figures published by the board revealed that a shopping population of 48,000 people with- in 25 miles would buy at the Store. "They will buy other things while they are here," he Stated, "Surely the retailers would not be against such an in- crease in their shopping popula- tion."

There would be a driver-testing truck in town that week, he said, and the motion pro- vided that all members of the police and fire departments be required to take the test.
