There has been a feeling for some time that urban municipalities are im- posed upon in 'the various equaliza- tions, and are called upon to pay taxes far in excess of what they are capable of paying or entitled to pay. i In the past few years taxes paid into the United Counties have become an Wabasso Prints in new patterns ever increasing burden. Each new equalization has brought added tax- N n ation, particularly to the urban muni : ao1ast, y &UC, ) cipalities, and such a move was bound to result, In Bowmanville $25,000 is paid into the treasury of the Counties and it is likely to be higher this year, due to the indebtedness of the ditch digging work before the last Provincial elec- tion, the cost of which the government has saddled upon the two counties. Northumberland and Durham must pay $73,000 for this work, which was supposed to be done by the govern- ment relief measure. Cobourg is required to pay this year about '$35,000 into the Counties, and Port Hope a little less. In the event of these two towns being granted separation, there is no doubt that Bowmanville would im- mediately demand like treatment, We hope this move for separation will become widespread and thus 'he the means of starting a movement to aboish county councils, which are be- coming more and more a rubber stamp for provincial governments.

Philp on the. afternoon of the 26th. The President, Miss M. Madden, pre- sided and the meeting opened with the singing of Tell Me the Old, Old Story. In memory of Miss F. Hiscox, a late and much loved member our our W. A. ¥ ki 7 5 ~, a County has been made a restricted area except for the two northern townships of Rama and Mara. This means that by a majority vote of the 1 ™ we sang that old familiar hymn,"In the Sweet Bye and Bye." The pro- gram consisted of a reading by Miss Madden, guitar selection by Mrs. P. Raymer and Miss L. Murphy, reading by Miss Aileen Hope, and a duet by Mrs. S. Hope and Mrs. Luke. Mrs. S. Hope and Mrs. Luke served lunch to about thirty. Mrs. W. Ettey and Mrs. H. Hope are in- charge of the next program. : "Sanctions should be imposed against an aggressor nation in time of war?, was the conclusion reached by the judges in our League debate last Wednesday night. Probably what impressed some of the audience as.be- ing one of the main thrusts for-the affirmative was the example of how the British Empire, the greatest of all times, has been built up--by warfare * unhindered by sanctions. - The nega- tive clearly showed that .the League of Nations would not be performing its duty of "the world policeman" if it did not prevent the nation attack- ing another country from so doing, any more than would a common officer of the law carrying out his work if he assisted a violator. The debators, Miss Laird and Miss L. Murphy for the affirmative, and W. Lyle and A. Harper for the negative, had géne tu considerable lengths preparing for the debate and rendered their material happily and audibly. These people de- serve a "pat on the back" and without a conceited "if we do say it ourselves attitude" we believe our debating team will go far in the series. E. Wagg, W. Heayn, and J. Hope rendered en- joyable music on their stringed in- struments. The League was well at- tended and we are glad to report is steadily growing, and interest is be- ing aroused in its activities. Every- one, both young and old, is heartily welcome to come and be one of the "fellowship of kindred minds." It is gratifying to have a continued good atténdance at Sunday School. For the missionary program on Sun- day Mises Olive and Myrtle Bond read an article along that line. The women of the village are cord- ially invited to attend Sunday School and be one of the Ladies' Bible Class "with her parents. 3 while points to remember. The Forum Topic was "Does God answer prayer? and how", which was ably led by Mr. H. Wagg of Utica, and was = topic well worth pondering. To show ° how well the interest the men are taking in the class, a member unable to be present owing to illness, sent a' very encoufaging letter with 'a dona<! tion to help carry on and expand, We' thank Mr. Warren for this: ' The| class also appreciates the offer of Mr. ! J. T. Vickery of a load of wood for the ' classroom, and will do their part. The forum topic for next Sunday will be' "Why is a Christian a God fearing | man?" led by Mr. A. MacGregor. We | hope for a good attendance. + (The Class Scribe, H, Toombes) Miss S. Laird spent the week end - Visitor to Oshawa from here were Mrs. H. R. Murphy, Miss L.

He died the next day. Mr. Heard, who was in his 77th year, had been caretaker of the church for over 43 years. Well known in the district, where he had lived all his life, He had planned on retiring this year. His wife predeceased him about nine months ago. One year ago they cele- brated their golden wedding, ° Born at Prince Albert, Ont, Mr. Heard hdd been a life-long member of the United Church. He is survived by five daughters, Mrs. G. W.

'Tarmers in all other townships, the cattle on all farms will be subject to' periodical inspections by Department of Agriculture inspectors, and that cattle found to be suffering from that dread disease which takes a terrible! toll annually on Ontario farms, will have to be destroyed. If after their destruction is ordered the meat is deemed fit for human consumption, it will be returned to the owner, but if complete destruction is found neces- sary, the owner will be allowed an amount of compensation to be fixed by government valuators.. The new reg- ulation will be the more easily en- forced in Ontario County because the farmers in the najority are in:fayor of it, and also because "it; has been adopted by other counties such as Durham, Northumberland, Halton, Peel and York.

Butterworth, of Woodville, visited her mother Mrs. Todd and cther friends here last week. February made its exit in a very boisterous way, but March came in like a lamb with beautiful warm sun- shine and a frosty air, Miss Laurine Bradley, of Brooklin, visited her parents Mr. and Mrs, Hugo Bradley, on Saturday. The three boys from here who are attending Brooklin Continuation School had quite a novel way of get- ting there one of the icy mornings last week when it was very dangerous for motoring. They strapped on their skates and glided down the Highway, no doubt on reaching their destination it was one morning when they wished High School, as Bob said it was "swell", south of Myrtle. Fortunately no one was hurt, and the 'ladies were picked up by a passing cutter and taken home. Little damage was done to the horse and cutter. Fach time the snow plow goes along driveways are banked up, and it is almost impossible to use them until they are shovelled out. The World Day of Prayer was ob- served in the Church basement on Friday afternoon, the President of the W. M. S., Mrs. Honey, presided. The program, which was prepared by Senouta Laura Jorquera, of Santiago, Chili, was followed throughout, the theme being "On earth, peace, good- will to men." The Scripture lesson was -reads by Mrs. Roy Thompson, prayer for the League of Nations, was offered by Mrs. D. Luery, for the widespread interest in the cause of Temperance, Mrs. Hudgins, for mis- sions and missionaries, Mrs. Honey, for the Church and the Spirit of Grace by Mrs. Cross. The story of the World 'Day of Prayer was given by Mrs. E. E. Mole, vocal numbers were rendered by Mrs. Cross and Mesdames Leury and Harrison. After the offer ing, the meeting closed with prayer. On Friday afternoon, as a motorist was driving through the village with an Oldsmobile car, he struck a rut and his ear jumped into the ditch between the embankment and Mr. Parks' fence, and completely overturned. As this is about the deepest ditch along the highway, it was a miracle the driver escaped uninjured. Pengally's tow truck from Brooklin was called and after being hauled to the pavement, the car was able to proceed on its own power little the worse for its summer- sault, Mrs. Robert E. Hoar, of Toronto, visited her father Mr. W. S. Parks, and other friends here last week. MANCHESTER Mrs. Jas. Masters is in Collingwood, attending the funeral of her aunt.
