J; F, LAVERY TENDERS RESIGNATION AS MANAGER OF THE HOUSE OF REFUGE : Dr. F. Lavery, since Ocober 1907, a period of 26 years, man- ager of the County House of Refuge, will retire from that position at the end of June." With considerable regret the County Council ~ on Wednesday accepted his resignation when of his own accord he tendered. it in writing. Dr. Lavery has been a wonderful servant . for the county, as was also his late wife who labored with him for so many years until Jan. 1, 1931 when death intervened. = the co-operation. ef the council members, ~~ had been, The resignation of Dr. Lavery was referred to the Finance and County Property Committees jointly and after a conference a recommendation was reluctantly brought in recommending its "acceptance, to take effect on April 1st, 1934, if Dr. Lavery insist- ed. Later on, however, on the suggestion of Warden Grant L. Christie, and after a further conference with him, Dr. Lavery "was persuaded to carry on until the June session, so that his - resignation takes effect on July 1st. The Council will now advertise for applications for the posi- tion, and these will be dealt with at the June session. : {3 At the afternoon session of the council, Dr. Lavery who was called on-to address the mémbers, expressed his thanks for the treatment the council had accorded him during his twenty-six years in office.. He had always tried to give the institution every possible attention and care; and in doing this he had always had Dr. Lavery expressed himself as willing to carry on his duties until such times as his successor took aver the duties. He said that at his age it was only * right that he should step out and allow a younger man to take over the position, (lh : Expressing the appreffation of the council to Dr. Lavery for "his long years of faithful service to the county, Reeve John Ross, of Thorah, said that it was not possible to estimate the value of the services rendered by Dr. Lavery: Reeve Ross contended that the County would not get another servant who was as faithful as he MANY BILLS FOR INDIGENT CARE IN THE HOSPITALS ~~ There seems to be no end to bills from hospitals for care of indigent patients from the. municipalities of Ontario County. Thousands of dollars were paid at the three sessions last year, and on Tuesday when the January session opened the clerk had another long list amounting it is said to over two thousand dollars. The bills acknowledged are paid half by the municipalities from which the patients come and the other half by the County. This year, as decided upon in November, a move. may be made to check up on all patients in hospitals from the county with a view to cutting down if possible the length. of their confinement to these institutions, also to ascertain if some patients could not be treated more economically at home. At this session, it is ex- pected, some move will be made along this line, for the Council Rs of the opinion that hospital bills in many instances are larger than they should be. The care of indigents on account of trying times is now be- coming oie of the larger expenditures of the year. gen * SHARE OF SUBURBAN ROAD COSTS H. L. 'Pascoe, chairman of the Oshawa. Suburban. Road Com- mission, addressed the County Council yesterday afternoon ask- "ing that the sum of $2,500 be levied for 1934. his is the same | money was needed, more particularly to permit more amount as last year, it was pointed out, and while much ore led, n ula > paving, the Commission had not pressed tor at on account of hard times. - "In addition to: tie amount voted by the County, the City of Oshawa contributes another $2.600, and the Ontario Department ' of Highways $5,000, making in all $10,000 available for the Com-' mission. 'Lhe Suburban area covers 13 miles, with 11 miles to! maintain outside ot the pavement, 3 pA + Mr. Pascoe thought that in the matter of suburban road ex- penditures the city of Oshawa was getting oft rather easy, and he wished that the suburban road area under the 'Comission's juris- diction might be extended so that Oshawa would have to pay-more. He pointed out that if the city was in the county today it would be called upon to pay about three-eighths of the total amount levied by the county on goods roads account, which would mean to Osh- awa about $15,000 or $16,000. Instead, the city which had the added beneiifpyot all the county roads, paid only $2,500, ~~ Mr. Pascoe would like to see the Ushawa Suburban road area extend back to Port Perry, and have more money voted by Oshawa and the county in order that further paving might be possible. He pointed out that it was expensive to maintain the unpaved 'portion of 'the area, the bill for oil alone being no small item, The use of crushed stone taken from one of the best pits to be found had helped a great deal, he said, in road maintenance, - With the present expenditure available it was not possible to undertake any paving work, | : 4 Last year, acording to the report of the County : ) Road Super- intendent, the expenditures of the Commission were: : Roads, bridges and culverts. ....... vee s $6,200.81 Machinery and tools ....... sos aa a "rane 304.46 Fuel and oil .........

VER ; Mr. Henry went no further with his definition of policy, but the implication drawn from his words in legislative circles was that beer by the glass would be obtainable, only at restaurants and hotels. Grocery store sale, the other major feature of the Quebec policy, has scarcely been considered by the Ontario Government. Denying an evening paper report that he had announceed pat- terning Ontarie's law after the Quebec model. Mr. Henry said: "All IT told the reporter was that if any wider distribution were 'decided on, it would certainly not be along the lines of the old licensing days. I don't think any one wants to see a return to those conditions." : The Premier recalled that he had "quite definitely intimated", Tuesday, to a large deputation of clergymen that so far as the Government was concerned nothing had been decided, but that in any advent Government control of liquor would be maintained. He repeated, too, the significant statement that "in many quarters it was felt that to replace the drinking of liquor by the drinking of beer would be a step in the direction of real temperance." : General opinion in' legislative circles last night was that beer and wine sale would be confined to restaurants and hotels, at din- ing-room tables and in guests' rooms; that a measure embodying this change would come before the Legislature early in the session which opens next week; that, once carried, the bill would not be enforced until or unless the Government were re-elected. Meanwhile, Opposition policy on the beer issue had not crys- tallized into any definite announcement. - Leader Hepburn and House Leader McQuibban were expected to confer in Toronto this week and to settle what course wouldy\be pursued by the party when the Government legislation came lore the House. Official Liberal attitude was condensed by Dr. MeQuibban last night into the statement: "We're letting Mr, Henry tell all he wants to tell, and, meanwhile, we're thinking quietly and seriously about the matter.

Not to be out done Bobcaygeon succeeded in sliping in another during .a scramble in front of the net, 1 In the last period Bill Cawker took a long shot from outside the blue line, the goalie dropped on it but the puck striking his stick glanced between his kneés. When Port gained this lead they played a defensive game and Bobcaygeon were unable to- score. This made Port the winners by one goal--3-2, Port Perry versus Lindsay On Friday of last week Port Perry played Lindsay in their own Arena; this was to have been played in Oakwood, but Lindsay requested the game that be played at Port Perry, hoping to get a larger crowd than they would in Oakwood. : - Lewis- Vipond scored first goal after receiving a pass from Fred Switzer. + Switzer scored the second from a pass out from behind the net. The period ended 2-0 in Port's favour. In the second period Lindsay scored their first goal during a scramble in front of the net. A. Cawker picked up a loose puck at Lindsay's blue line, broke through to the net and scored a third. Lindsay then sent four men up, but this did not help, when Bll) Cami broke through he was able to go in and score a fourth goal. g hh ' Before the period ended Lindsay scored a second goal ,making it 4-2, .

Port came Back 'hard but no more than the one goal was scored in the' second period. . . In the third period, Port Perry finally did tie it up, but right after the face off, a Fenelon man who went to shoot was checked; the puck went sailing high into the air and unfortunate- ly came down on L. Beare's back to fall in the net for a second goal for Fenelon. oo : This. did not stop Port, for Switzer got through and scored again, making it 2-2, EVR Then Port Perry in their eagerness to win (for this game meant their staying in the play offs) played four men up leaving their defence very weak thus enabled Fenelon to score two more goals which ended all hope of winning for there was but little more time to go. They did not stop trying and more than once came very close to getting it back; but just couldn't make it, although the puck hit the goal post and every other placé but in the net, teams trying desperately to get a goal or two lead while they were|- fresh.

Port Perry Arena is the place to see stars. Honeydale, Prince Albert, and Greenbank are having one royal | battle for supremacy, with seven other teams tagging along to ~ see how the fight comes out. Port Perry Hornets have gather- ed up some new stingers and it may be that the tide will turn in their favor. Even the Three Star Team won a game on Tues- day night from Seagrave. Thore bady is taking much chances to declare the name of the cham- pion team. The team standing is: "P.W.L.T.F. A. Pt. Honeydale . 44 0 0 12° 4 10 P.

There were few lone handed pldys. Prince Albert has a stone wall defence,, but Smith doesn't alway have 'good luck. Goals were scored by Lyle for Prince Albert and by Wagg for Utica. There was a good crowd and splendid ice at this game. ~ Scugog and Seagrave came to grips and the result was a goal 'score being 3-2 in favor of .Sea- grave. It was a good clean game with fine combination play. Scugog protested the game, so that is a matter to be settled. [oneydale and the Hornets had too much for the Hornets and the periods ended with a score of 3-1 in favor of Honeydale Deshane and Brock starred for the Hornets and Switzer and Kidd for Honeydale. The surprise of the evening was the play put up by the "Three Stars" against Seagrave. You see the Stars gathered up a couple of Cawkers which went a long way toward piling up that score of 5-8 in favor of the Three Stars. A wild time was enjoy- ed by all.
