Now that the streets are nice and dry, wouldn’t it be a good scheme for the said brigade to indulge in a little practice occasionally? Other- wise, what particular use is the fire- brigade more than the old way of every man for himself? Of course during the winter it was not expected that' the brigade would ' hold regu- lar drills, but now that the winter is past they should lose no time in brush- ing up on the various things on which they have perforce grown rusty during their idleness. There is considerable work about a fire drill, but fire brigades are for use, not for ornament, and any member of the fire brigade who would refuse to turn out to practice on ac- count of the work it entails should be replaced by a worker. It is not necessary to make as much work of a drill as has been done in the past, either. It is not even necessary to wet the hose. In case of fire it is not the turning on of the water that takes the time and requires thc‘fpracâ€" ticc, but it is laying the hose. The fire brigade is one of the most neces- sary and useful orginizations in the town, but its efficiency depends entirely on the amount of drilling it receives. The “ “terry Widow ” a Life Saver. Score one for the “ Merry Widow." In New York on Easter Sunday a dangerous blaze occurred on the altar in a Roman Catholic church, but the tremendous hats of the women in the front pews (themselves unable to see the flames on account of their position) prevented the other members from seeing the fire, and a panic was averted. The priests, who succeeded in extinguishing the flames almost immediately, state that the van- ity of the women, which caused the ones wearing the largest hats to sit in the front seats, undoubtedly saved many persons from injury or death. This oc- currence will no doubt be hailed with delight by the fair sex, as it will prob- ably give a set-back to the agitation which had been started to forbid the wearing of the “merry widow ” and other hoadgear monstrosities in the churches.‘ But suppose the .fire had broken out in one (if the “ merry widows ” instead of on the altar l Perhaps, after all, they had better be ruled cit of the programme of worship. as; Mating,“ The annual vestry meeting of St. James' church was held in the church on lion- day evening. The Rev. W. .[-I. A. French occupied the chair, and there was a fair attendance. The Roctor’s report showâ€" ed a very gratifying increase in the atâ€" tendance, in the number of comm uniâ€" cunts and in the ollertories, and the fi- nancial statement presented by the churchwardens was of a most satisfac- tory character. The Parish Workers, in their report, also showed excellent re- sults for their year's operations, and the Women's Auxiliary sent in a very good report. The election of oilicers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: Peo- ple’s warden, Mr. R. M. Hamilton ; Rec- ‘ tor’s warden, Mr. G. E. Wiggins ; Sides- men, Messrs. E. English, Thos. Cashoro, C. W. Burgoyne, H. J. Townley, Thos. Shane and W. J. Cassidy ; Lay delegates to Synod, Messrs. C. W. Burgoyne and E. G. Hand ; auditors, Messrs. G. H. McGee and G. J. Nic; Vestry clerk, Mr. G. E. Wiggins. A committee was appointed to look after the old church property. Hearty votes of thanks were tendered the organist, the choir, the Parish Work- ers, the Women's Auxiliary, the Literary Society, the retiring warden, Mr. E. G. Hand, and all others who had assisted in the church work during the past year. Much sorrow and regret was expressed at the loss the vestry had sustained in the death of Mr. Thomas H. Roberts, and the following resolution was passed : Moved by Mr. Cashore, seconded by Mr. McGee, That this vestry of St. James’ church, atits annual meeting, (le- sircs to express its deep sense of the loss it has sustained by'tlie death of Mr. Thomas H. Roberts, and desires to con- vey its deepest sympathyto Mrs. Rob- erts and her family in their bereave- ment. The vcsl‘ry also desires that a copy, of this resolution be placed on the minutes, and that the Rector send to the- widow and her family an expression of our sympathy. Pure-bred Stock Assoc'n is Organized. An important movement for the ad- vancement of the pure-bred live stock industry in this county was launched on Saturday. In the county of Victoria there are now many prominent breeders of pure-bred live stock. Also there are a number of young breeders, who have one or two pure-bred animals, and are gradually building up their flocks and herd-s. The smaller breeders are at a disadvantage in making sales; and for some time a plan has been under discus- sion for the holding of a joint sale of stock contributed by numerous breed- ers. Further, it has been felt that an, organization of breeders might in. many ways further the interests of the stock» men of the district. In accordance withthe idea, a meeting 'of stock breeders'from all parts of the d ' counlv was held on Saturday afternoon, semifinals. MABQedfs. once mugs- The Fenelon“ Falls Gazette. ‘ Say. Mr. Wm. Chanuon was appointed chairman of the meeting, and Mr. Reed acted as secretary. After an expression of opinion from many of those present, it was decided to form an organization. On motion of Mr. W. H. Cullis, of Powles’ Corners, and Mr. Johnston Ellis, of Lind- say, it was decided that the association be called “ The Victoria Pure Bred Live Stock Association.” The following offi- cers were then elected : President,â€"â€"G. Clarence Channon‘, of. Oakwood. ’Vice-President,â€"William H. Cullis, of Powles's Corners. Secretary-'l‘reasurer,---F. H. Reed, B. S. A., of Lindsay. Directors,â€"â€"Jas. Casey, Valentia :Jno. Campbell, Woodville ; Robert H. Read, Reaboro ; Alfred Varcoo, Little Britainj; A. E. Swain, "Valentin ; J. J. Ward, Lind- say ; J. F. Graham, Lindsay; Wm. Chan- non, Oakwood. After considerable discussion, it was decided that the association should un- dertake the holding of a stock sale ; the date to be determined by the executive. This date will probably be late this year or early in the next year. It was also decided that the first sale be limited to Shorthorn cattle. Should the rssocia- tion meet with the success which is cou~ fldently looked forward to, the associa- tion will later conduct sales of the vari- ous breeds and classes of live stock. The association has for its purpose the im- provement of the live stock industry of this district. The association should re- ceive the hearty support and co-opera- tion of, every farmer and breeder, and if this is given Victoria county will soon win an enviable reputation for good stock and good pricesâ€"Post. ril‘i’ééé‘bthhbif Fenelon Falls, April 20th, 1908.

It took some time for the people along the way. to become interested, but now that they have “ got going " they do not intend to lose any time. The poles are already bought and the contract for digging the holes is lot, so the line will probably be in operation within a month or six weeks. The prime movers in the enterprise are' Dr. Gould, of the Falls, Mr. Geo. Isaac, of Fenelon, and Mr. McDonald, the con- tractor in charge of the construction of the canal at Roscdalc. A four wire line. may be put up, as the contractor and the Government officials at Rosedale naturâ€" ally<prefer not to be on a party line. Mr. Isaac did most of the canvassing for the new line, and found the farmers along the route wait-ing for him in many cases. The line will commence business: with about fifteen subscribers. Winn IT WORK ?â€"â€"It is asserted very solemnly each spring by a number of‘ people who take an interest in the man-- agemcnt of the weather, that .whatever direction the wind blows from on Good Friday, the prevailing wind will be from that same general direction for forty days following. Per contra, our wind editor states that this rule holds good only when the wind blows from the west on the day in question, and that he has the papers to prove what he Says. For.“ instance, last year the wind blew from the east on Good Friday at least, until well on in the evening. In the following forty days it was from an easterly dirr. cs tion on first eleven days, blowing from other quarters. principally westerly, on the other twenty-nine. Last Friday the- wind was from the south. The afore~ mentioned wind editor will bet any wise guy a new hat that the prevailing wind for the next forty, or any other number of, days he likes to specify, will not be. from that quarter.
