He said the board would make a great mistake to change the rulings of the annual meeting on the spur of the moment. Mr. Cook spoke in defence on his Mr. John Ridden said the matter had been fully considered at_ the- an- nual meeei-ng. Mr. Riddell's opening remarks were interrupted by Mr. Cook, who said that a buyer and salesman, acâ€" cording to the rules of the board, had no voice in the management of its affairs. Mr. Ridden resumed his seat, and the president decided that he should be allowed to express his opinion. A motion of Mr. Buck seconded by Mr. Moore, was made to the ef- fect that the resolution adopted at the annual meeting of the ‘board be rescinded. not financially in a position to ful- fil his obligations, but that he bought the cheese legimately and with honest intentions. This was, of course, 'an offence against the regulations of the board, but Mr. Cook explained that he was E It was not a sensation that was isprung at the opening meeting of the iCheese Board Wednesday morning at 'the Bank of Montreal chambers for the matter of the suspension of Mr. 53215. Cook had been decided upon at Ethe annual meeting of the Cheese Board. But it was the subject of a great deal of discussion and Mr. ’Cook strenuously objected to the ruling passed at the annual meeting going into effect. He said he had not committed any greater intrsc-i tion of the rules, nor as great, as} other buyers, and claimed he should, not have been suspended for three months without being given a hear- ing.

Mr. Ross practically decided at the conference to send on an architect at once to go over the grounds with a view to the erection of a nurse’s home in Iconnection with the hospital.

The fine weather which has pre- vailed during the last few days has been a great help to the men work- ing at the locks. The water is now lowered considerg-bly, and it will not be long until it will be low enough to allow the workmen to proceed with the pier work. Some thirty men are now employed on the work, and morewillbetakenoninthenesr future. And they should get home that night and go to work as usuaJ next morning. Young people ought to be taught to holiday sanely and save themaelzv- es a headache or a heartache the next day. And the booze is always bad on a big holiday. The ten thousand flasks in ten thousand hip pockets are in a class with concealed weapons. The holiday bottle of booze never misses fire and always‘; hits someone. The curse of a public holiday is canned salmon sandwiches} immature fruit, ice cream, ice water from the car tank, cheap fares .and booze. The last two are the greatest. If there were cheap 'iares all year round, or even cheaper fares, so very many people would not be induced to crowd into not. unsanitary boats and trains, and risk and lose the happiness of one sweet day at home. The trouble is that people don't holiday rationally. They go too tar away from home for one thing; they get excited or overheated or chilled, as the case may be. They get lost. or lose someone else, and many of them eat too much and others drink .ar more than is good for them, who- ther it's beer, milk, iced tea or pop.
