As a member of the Ross Memorial Hospital Auxiliary she was active in this respect. The funeral service held Tues- day afternoon lacked the pomp and ceremony of those of her bus- band and son, but it was marked by the attendance and sympathy of hundreds of residents of Lind- say and other communities who since her death Saturday morning had gathered at her late resi- dence to pay their respects to the lady who was "Lindsay's most gracious hostess." The simple ser- vice was held at the family resi- dence and was conducted by Rev. J. J. Black, minister of Cambridge Street United Church, of which congregation Lady Hughes was a member.

This increase, if made effective, means that the average motorist, driving 10,000 miles in a year and getting 18 miles to the gallon out of his car will pay over $10 ad- ditional to the gasoline tax of $33.33 which he is now paying. Figure it out for yourself.
