Rogers had delivered, on that well-remembeyed Sunday, a wonderful sermon, a ser- mon which dwelt upon the miracle of the loaves and the fishes. After the church service some of the members of the congregation lingered and discussed the sermon. It 50 happened that an elderly Irish lady overheard what was being sald, especially the part connecting Reverand Rogers and the loaves and the fishes. She stood it as long as she could, when she exclaimed: "Sure and that must be the young Rogers I used to know. He never did anything élse but loaf and fish." --N. T. Laughlin. A Future Fun Shopper. Mr. and Mrs. Bllson went calling with their four-year-old daughter. The family they called on had no children at all. The child, after look- ing around for a few minutes, asked the host: "Where is your little girl?" "We have no little girl," he re- plied. .

Readers are req Can Provide Funds. The property committee reported "That on account of the decisions of the city solicitor, and the cost of submitting a by-law to the people, that the necessary exterior work on the City, Buildings, as shown by the estimate of the city engineer, and $1,000 towards repairs to the build- ings at the fair grounds be made, and that finance committee provide the funds." . Ald. Nash wanted to know where the "nest egg' had been found to provide for the work, and Ald. Kent explained that when the work was carried out in Memorial Hall, under the War Memorial Act, a by-law could be passed for the expenditure. No by-law had been put through, however, and the money had beén provided for in the current revenue. It was the intention to raise the money when the work had been com- pleted. The cost was $10,000 and the sum had been provided for this work to within $1,600 of the amount specified. Thus the council had the money now to undertake the repairs as mentioned. The council in dofng this was acting on the advice of the city solicitor. Ald. McCartney sald he was sorry to see the council take the action proposed. He would rather have the people vote on the entire expenditure as at first proposed, in spite of the cost of taking the vote, which had been placed at $600. Ald. Craig said that as the funds could be provided for the exterior work at the city buildings, and also the other work, that it should be un- dertaken at once. Ald. Laturney said that it would be better for the council to take the money that dvailable and go ahead with the work proposed. After considerable discussion, the report of the committee was adopted. -- Matter of Concessions. The recommendation of the prop erty committee, to accept the offer of George Palavgs, of $60, for the ex- clusive right to erect a booth and sell ice cream and soft drinks at the fair grounds at the baseball games caused a great deal of discussion, and was eventually sent back to the committee. During the discussion, Ald. Laturney stated that since com- ing to the meeting, he had a tele- phone message from B. Noble Steacy, president of the Kingston club in the Central Ontario League, stating that the club's executive had decided to give the same man the permission to sell ice cream and soft drinks 43 had that privilege last year. Ald. Latur- ney sald it was not the intention of the counefl to give the ball club the right to give such a privilege, and reading the minutes of a meeting of the courneil of Feb. 4th, 1934, point- ed out that the ball club was given the use of the ball ground at the fair grounds "for baseball purposes only," and before council adjourned, the property committee held a meet- ing and brought in the following supplementary report, whith was adopted: "That tenders be called for the concessions at the fair grounds for the baseball games, to sell ice cream, soft drinks, confectionery and re- freshments, and that this committee be given power to act in selling the concessions, and that the president of the baseball league be notified that this concession is not included in their agreement to use the fair grouids "for baseball purposes." : At a recent meeting of the coun- cil, the application of Mrs. Darling, SRE Ik Eikliii i! £5 I ef I the finance committee were adopted: "That the auditor's report be re-|f§ ceived and filed, and the usual mum- ber of copies printed "That the application of the G.
