This resolution pointed out the services and ben- efits chargeable to taxpayers which enure to the advantage of all residents of the ToA some of which were: street lighting, re- creation council ($3,00.00) over $2,000.00 net paid by Municipality, roads and streets debenture in- terest, maintenance and renewal, police and f ire protection, various grants and others. The Munici- pality alsà pays debentures for sewers and disposai plant. The Public Utilities Commission has again refused to entertain this request. Actuaily there are no reasons except the myopie view point of the Commission wvhy this consideration shouid flot be given. The excuse given this time xvas some expenditure for new hydrants and maintenance of old hydrants. Aside from these recent expenditures there has been little money spent on hyd- rants for years past. The new hydrants will also be charged ta the Town at $42.001 per annuim and there are about 110 of these old and new at present. The Public Utilities Commis- sion consists of the Mayor (who supported the resolution of Coun- cil) and two others, one being el- ected annually.

If so, your own experience should tell you that many af the things you expect ta hap- pen won't happen at ail. Or they will turn out quite dif- ferently. The chances are you're warrying needlessly. And this takes a greater toli of your efficiency and zest for living than you realize. If you must worry, do so on a daily basis. Concern yourself only with what may happen tomorrow. Then take any steps you can take now ta deal with these problems. You probably know a num- ber of people who always seem to be happy and appar- ently have no worries. Actu- aIly, like everyone else, tbey have their share. But they've learned ta, put "long-distance worrying" in its proper place - out of their minds! Imitate these people and you wiII find new happiness and greater success! 0 0 There is ane thing about the future you can be sure of - it is uncertain. But you can always provide for your fam- ily's financial security in days ahead by means of life insur- ance. Anticipating the future in this way is flot oniy wise - i brings you peace of mind today!

The' Council has done everys thing within its power to,keep the tax rate dawn as has the School Board. At the sacrifice af neces- sary. expenditures for Toaw n equipment the general Town rate wîll .not be increased'. Purchase of new doors for Fire Hall was even postponed. With xeluctance the Cauncil has requested the School Board to further consider its estimates ta save one rnill on the rate. But the County and Debenture rate tagether wili in- crease over .5V2 milîs this year. Not only should this absurd rental of hydrants be discontinued but the Commission should take over sewers and disposai plant and ahl outstanding debentures connected with themn. It is my intention to request that this be done. The Commission should have the front of the cow as well as the back.

PIGEON The oniy Pigeon of which Can- ada east of the Rockies can boast, since the Passenger Pigeon be- came extinct, is the 'bird that nests on our big buildings and struts around in parks, asking ta be fed. Bird watchers &re flot agreed as ta its status: some claiming that having originated from domestic stock it should flot appear on the field checking list; others insisting that whatever its ancestors were, iA is now wild, and should bc classed as such. But from whichever angle we look at it, the fact remains that the common Pigeon, which seems ta be fear]ess in the midst of city traffic, is descended from the Rock Dove of Europe.

Five good reasons why seed s¶uld be well cleaned: 1. You are taking the first step towards your obligation of meeting Ontario's urgently nceded 50 million bushel increase in 1948. 2. You get more bushels per acre by using better seed which means greater profits for you. 3. You save valuable hours at seeding time by having your seed cleaned early. 4. You should Jhave your seed cleaned while you have a larger quantity to dean from. 5. 43 per cent of the seed sown in Ontario in 1947 was rejected seed on weed content alone, reduce your losses, inecase your profits by sowing only seed free from weeds with a high germination.
