MOOREHOUSE DIES IN TORONTO The late William Richard Moorehouse quietly passed away after a lengthy illness, in the Toronto (leneral Hospital on January 25th. ; Born in Sheffield, England, in 1876, he came to this country in 1920 with his wife and family and settled in Dryden, where he lived for ten years. Leaving there, he spent a year in New the last two years. Besides his widow he leaves to mourn him three daughters and a son: Mrs. H. Phippen, Ft. William ; Mrs. S. Lawton, Michi- gan, US.A, and Elsie and Wil- liam at home, not there somewhere, some justi- fication of a faith, and hope for survival and subsequently easier days?

The Duff report and legislation in- troduced by the Government to implement its recommendations, so far as the employees are con- cerned, means the amalgamation of the operation of the railways. It may mean the abandonment ployed on the railways in 1929, last full year of the Liberal Government and 1931, first full year of the Conservative admin- istration, Mr. Heenan said there was a decrease of 33,286 with salaries and wages showing a reduction for the same period of $73,894,500, "and now on top of that, a reduction of ten per cent.,"" Mr. Heenan said.

Well, it seems that the news about that big egg that Joe Ernewein's Plymouth Rock laid, got all the way across town to the flock of Black Minoreas belonging to Art Tew and there was much cackling and clucking among the black tribe. Their reputation was at stake, so not to be outdone by their Plymouth brethren or sistren, one of those black dames laid an egg of the following demensions: 8 inches in circumference in length, 614% inches across and it weighed 4 cunces. This all happened on Friday, January 27th.
