We are laying off this week and open on the 19th in Cleveland, Ohio, at the Palace, from there we go to the Palace The- atre in Chicago starting on the 25th, ifor three weeks.

On return home we found our mo- ther in fine shape and she is better than she has been in some time, and she is fully recovered from the gan- gerine in her toes. _ Please give our best wishes to all our friends in dear old Bob.

Mr. Butterfield reports having a wonderful trip. Mr. Charles Moffatt is home thiS‘ week owing to the death of his father H. E. Moffatt. The Village was shocked on Mon- day when word was received that Mrs. Albert E. Bottum had died suddenly at ,Stouffville, from a stroke. Mr. Bottum had just came out from the hunting camp on Saturday, and had decided not to go back owing to the lwet weather, when he received the [sad message. Verulan: Council will meet in the Council Chamber, Bobcaygeon, Mon- day, Nov. 29th, at 10. 30 a. m. Parties having accounts against the Township please have them in not latei than Dec. 15th, or for this meeting. VERULAM COUNCIL PROBE URGED TO STUDY EFFECT OF PUBLIC SPENDING ON TRADE Government expendituure and pub- lic debt, taxation, socialservices and interprovincial barrier to commerce to commerrce are four questions the Toronto of Trade is suggesting the Rowell Commission should study. Itwould be of the greatest value if the public could be informed of the effect public expenditure has on bus- iness profits, wages and the location of business, the Board of Trade brief forward-ed to the Commission states. “An important consideration with respect to any tax is the extent to which it increases consumers costs, the report suggests. Such increase oc- curs in form of taxation which consti- tute a direct price increase or cost of production. Illumination of the extent to which different forms of taxation are having this effect would be -most enlightening to the public as consumers, and might incline public opinion to support forms of taxation ‘more discernable to the taxpayers and reflected less sharply in consumers costs. BUTTUM STABLES OFF TO ROYAL There will be four entries at the] Royal Winter Fair this year from they Bottum Stables. These four entries were taken to Toronto on Monday and will be in charge-of Mr. Roy Junkin. Local horse fanciers believe that a number of these animals should go a long way. Included in the entry is Bobcayg‘eon King, a beautiful 2-year iold stallion, also a year old colt, Bob lc‘aygeon’s Surprise. Claude expects this young colt to develOp into a won- derful show horse, The Botturm stables has been very successful this year at Fairs such as Lindsay and Peterboro, and the people of this district will be anxiously a- waiting the results at the Royal Houses are sometimes judged by} the appearance of the front door. If the door is cracked and the paint peel- ing, one does not eXpect to find any- thing beyond it. But; if the door is well-kept, the visitor expects to find the whole house in good order. If the door is the rugular type, with a large plain or leaded window, it can either be painted a solid colour or grained. A more modern solid wood door with a very small window can be scraped and stained. A knocker adds materially to the appearance of this type of door. Then, of course, the doors inside the house should be painted or stained from time to time to keep them in a good state of preservation. Light woodwork is very much in fashion A swinging door between the kit- chen and dining-room is a great con- venience. and helps to keep the aroma of cooking from going through the rest of the rooms. An attractive open doorway be- tween the living and dining rooms of a summer home was of field stone and HOW IS YOUR FRONT DOOR.. AND MIDLAND COUNTIES HERALD . TAYLOR, Clerk. CANADA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18TH, 1937 ONTARIO ARCHIVES A. R. BOTTUM SHUOTS BEAR Mr. A. R. Bottum, a member of the Bottumâ€"Thurston Hunt Club, had the good fortune this year to shoot a‘ bear while hunting deer. Roy was watching a run-way, when he heard something coming his way, which he thought was a deer. Imagine his sur- prise when a 2371b bear came in sight Roy recovered from his surprise quick enough to bring the big fellow down with two shots, so its is expected the Bottum living room will be adorned :with a bear rug, a constant reminder iof the 1937 hunt. This party also ihave two deer. Dr. W. D. Thomas, another enthus- iastic sportsman, shot a fine buck just a few miles from Bobcaygeon. Mr. A. E. Woollard, local druggi‘st, also secured a nice buck. Many are wondering if these gentlemen have a special drugâ€"or are just good shots. Henry Kittle and party returned frcm the north with .1 deer each. Hen- ry says the deer roam in droves like cattle back thereâ€"the only trouble is to pick out the biggest one. Hort Nichols and some of his party are still shootingâ€"not huntingâ€"as H'ort says he shoots at about five deer every day and has not touched a hair yet. He is still optomistic, for he thinks he can’t do all that shooting and not have an accident and kill one sometime before the season is over. LATE H. E. MOFFATT The Village lost a prominent and well-known business man on Saturday when Horatio Edward M )ffatt, (Harry) as he was familiarly known, passed away in the Lindsay Hospital. Harry had been ill all summer, and it was thought he was on the road to recovery, when he was inched to the Lindsay hospital, where he underwent an operation which pro- ved to much for his weakened con- dition. Harry has conducted a tinsmith and plumbing business in the Vil- lage for many years. He was an en- thusiastic hockey fan, and in his younger days was goal keeper for the local team, as well as manager and coach of a number of later teams.

Sunday morning breakfast is a‘ charming meal and deserves special consideration, It might be a special treat to the family to have the meal served in an unusual way. A large upstairs hall could be made into a most interesting breakfast room for this purpose. A sunny window seat might have ‘a small table placed in front of it, convenient to electric outlets for toasters or percolators. bright walls and cheery furniture can change a dark hall into a gathering place for the family. Funds to be used for redecoration may be obtained from any Canadian bank under the Domonion Governâ€" ment sponsored Home Improvement Plan. FAWN USES CANOE TO MAKE ESCAPE Leonard Nicholls of: Bobcaygeon‘ Second Unusual Experience Mr. Leonard Nicholls of Bobcay-; geon and Mr. Steve Nicholls of Buck- horn, have just returned frOm their hunting camp, which is located about 30 miles north of Buckhorn. Each fall they spend about a month at their camp, hunting and trapping, and they always return with an interesting story of the wilds. This time Leon- ard tells of an experience he had with a fawn. While paddling along shore, Leon- ard was much surprised when a fawn which was being pursued by wolves, leaped into the front of his canoe. His companion, Steve, also arrived up- on the scene with a camera and quick- ly took a snapshot of Leonard hold- ing the fawn by the tail. INTERRES’I‘ING BREAK FAST ROOM East year Leonard had another wild experience when a large buck deer attacked him and he was forced to use a knife to rescue himself. Many who listened to Leonard’s story last year, would not believe his tale; but this year he has absolute proof of his experience. In Toronto, on Wednesday, Novem: her 17th, 1937 William Garden.
