To Colborne Masonic Lodge A very interesting and profitable meeting of Colborne Masonic Lodge was held Friday evening, May 21st, 1937, when the District Deputy Grand Master, Rt. Wor. Bro. Arthur J. Cook of Brooklin, paid his official visit, and received an hearty fraternal welcome. The E. A. Degree, was conferred upon a candidate by the W. M., Bro. James A. MacGregor and other officers of the Lodge in a manner highly complimented by the D.D. G.M., and other visiting brethren. At the close an happy hour was spent in the banquet hall, where the usual toasts were honoured. After the toast to the King and the hearty singing of the National Anthem, Rt. Wor. Bro. A. G. Willougby ably proposed the toast to the Grand Lodge, referring to the high character and standing of the distinguished brethren who had and were holding the higher offices. An inspiring response was given by Rt. Wor. Bro. Cook. The toast to the visitors was proposed by Wor. Bro. Thos. McKim, who assured them an hearty welcome always awaited members of other Lodges. Several visiting brethren responded interestingly. A very enjoyable even-brought to a close by the Junior Warden's toast. Visitors were present from Brook-i, Port Hope, Cobourg, Brighton, Belleville, and Warkworth Lodges. New Speed Regulations Also Being Broken In spite of the increased speed allowed motorists travelling on the Ontario highways and through towns and villages, the regulations are not observed one whit better than before. Chief Farrell has been "clocking" motors passing through Colborne and finds the majority are still travelling over fifty miles per hour, through school area as well. On Wednesday a score were penalized $5 and costs of usually £3.25. For next week over thirty summonses have been issued^-all for speed over 50. several over 60, id a couple over 70 m.p.h. Neighbouring newspapers seem to be fond of referring to "speed trap" in Colborne. Such is not the case. Constable Farrell is in full uniform and stands right on the pavement in full view of drivers., but they don't seem to pay any more atteniion to his presence than they do to the large speed and warming school signs. H. A. Grant Buys ~ Business at Scotland Mr. Harry A. Grant has purchased a milling and feed business at Scotland and with his family has taken up residence there. Before leaving Colborne a number of citizens gathered at Mr. Grant's home and presented a beauttiful silver waiter. Short addresses expressed appreciation of the helpful services rendered by Mr. and Mrs. Grant in the Church and community life during their residence in Colborne and also expressing regret at their removal and wishing them success and happiness in their new home. •Mr. Grant recently sold his planing mill to Mr. R. M. Bresee, who has n charge, while Mr. A J. Dance hased Mr. Grant's residence. Mrs. Harry Redfearn Vitamin D. Content is one of the factors making Canadian fish such a good food for children.
