Increase in penalties for breach of these laws. Exemptions to firms for exceptional conditions should be abolished. Regulation of hours of labor. Many Provincial laws now per- mit women to work normally 55 to 60 hours a week, and as much as 72 hours under special circumstances. These laws are obsolete, and revision is badly needed. Teed Maximum hours for men should be established by law. Federal laws should be amended to enable the Dominion to enforce fair-wage clause in all Government contracts.

A. Koch, the contractor, and the carpenter. The woodwork is an evidence that good workmanship is still available when you discover a man who loves his work. A pleasing feature of the project is that the building commit- tee have been able to do all that was expected with the money that was available. That does not say that they have completed the building in all its details. At the outset a careful estimate was made as to the cost of the building, and it was distinctly! under- stood that only such work should be done in the basement as the funds allowed. It was not expected that this part of the building would be finished immediately. The Committee has kept within the estimates as promised. All the work that has been done has given us a library of which we should be proud. It would be quite possible to move in almost at once and "carry on", This, however, is not likely to be done during the severe winter weather. ; . In the meantime we should like to call to the attention of those interested some needs which this community could supply. - First comes the Book of Rememprance. For some months the Veterans have been gathering data for this book. They have the names of some fifty men from this locality who gave their lives for us in the Great War. To them will be assigned the place of honour in the Book of Remembrance. It is proposed that to each of these men shall be devoted two pages in the Book. The left hand page to have a picture of the soldier and the right hand page to carry a brief life story of him. ! In order to carry out this purpose it will be necessary to obtain accurate information from the next of kin or from jnear friends. Of course the story must be brief and accurate. Tt should tell the names of his parents; his place of residence, date of enlistment, date and place of death, official standing and decorations, if any. Where special circumstances have been learned as to this supreme sacrifice, these should be related. Each of these stories should be accompanied by a photograph of the soldier. Of course this should be as good a picture as it is possible to secure. The photos are to be used for making cuts so that the picture may be reproduced in the book. Each of these: cuts cost from $4.50 to $5.00, and they are necessary in order to obtain uniform- ity in size and style of the picture. In some cases the photos have been supplied. from platoon photos. Friends of some of the dead soldiers have promised to bear the expense of the cuts. But some twenty or more will have to be supplied by the committee. In this matter small contributions will be gladly received by the committee. Donations of one dollar or moré from a number of persons will solve the financial problem in this respect. - While discussing the Book of Remembrance, it has been sug- 'gested that some persons might like to have a simply 'bound copy of the work for their personal possession. If any person is inter- ested just let us know at the Star Office and the idea of printing extra copies of the book will be considered. One other matter needs consideration--the finishing of the Some of our townspeople have already con- $400 is yet needed to finish the rooms so that they may be used for community purposes. . Everything that has been done so far is in excellent taste and the result is a building of which Port Perry may well be proud. Just a little more money is required to complete the work, and we feel sure that the necessary funds will be forth coming. The amount expected from the individual will not be large. A Great Game Port Perry Wins from Bobcaygeon 7-5, but Loses in Second Game at Bobcaygeon: 9-2. Monday night's Junior O. H. A. game was one of the finest of the season, and there was a good crowd out to see the boys at their play. Four times throughout the game the teams were tied and at the end the score stood--Bobcaygeon 5, Port Perry 7. This took Port Perry to Bobcaygeon with a two goal lead. Here is the way the goals were scored--Harry DeShane for the first; Depew the second, Brandon the third, Bill Cawker scored one, and Vipond put in the final goal. The game was exciting throughout. The first period ended 3-8. The second period was 4-4, and you can guess the wildness of the fans in the last period. For once Port Perry did itself proud in the Ho Selig eon ance, and the hockey team put on a game that has seldorfi been equalled in the Port Perry rink, THE INTERMEDIATES "5 Those who have been following the fortunes of the Inter- mediate series will be interested to know that Whithy won from Peterboro in the play-off.
