A VISIT FROM THE ATTORNEY- GENERAL We were pleased to receive a recent visit from Attorney-General Hon. G. D. Conant. He had taken a day off to visit local friends, and looked very fit, as if he were enjoying the inform- al day's holiday among the people he knows. In the brief conversation we had with Mr, Conant we were impressed with the importance of maintaining the local Civil Guard or some similar organization as a defense measure. Attack is quite possible ,and we should be prepared to meet emer- gencies, particularly in case of fire, and in providing first aid." We are at war, no matter how peaceful it may seem here, EGG BONUS Continued from Back Page at the time the agreement was made. In the meantime labour and product- tion costs "have risen, consequently making it difficult to secure the maxi- mum quantities of eggs requested by The bonus will be limited to Grade A since the British Ministry is asking that no less than 87 per cent of the eggs under the spring contract be of that quality as contrasted with a division of 60 per cent-A and 40 per cent B taken under the 1941 spring contract. . The effect of the bowie assures egg 1942 for top quality eggs.

Peterson, Doreen and Gwen.: Dear Friends, -- It is with sincere regret that we have learned of your lintended departure from our Church and Community, Ere yoy leave us, , cerning our fec)ings toward you all, Dr. Peterson, we wish to thank you ! for the dignity and manliness with which you have pursued your high calling. As a physician, you have brought health and good cheer to 'many a home. As a member of the Stewards of this Church, you have "been faithfyl and helpful, and attend- ance nt meetings must often have in- volved sacrifice on your part. On the Board of Education, and as a citizen, you will be remembered for good ser- vice well rendered. © To you Mrs. Peterson, we wish to express our high esteem, As a doctor's wife, confidence 'has heen safe in your keeping. As a mother, you have com- bined discipline with love and fine understanding. As a Chr istian leader in thig Chpreh and community, you have left a lasting impression, Out of a Christian background of home and Church and leadership training, vou have brought culture, a high sense of purpose, and yndeviating re- soluteness to your task, ip the Sun- day Bchool, the Canadian Girls in Training, and the Woman's Missjon- ary Society, Chor and other Church activities. Your foundation work with girls Is bearing fruit to-day in the Young People's Union, which is second' to none we have ever enjoyed. Your Church membership has been of a high order; and- the successful grad-|a uation of our girls into the Young People's Union and Senior ~ Work, bears witness to that fact. Doreen, you have unfolded through thie years into a teen-age girl of promise, and Jaye taken your place as pianist in our Young Penple's Union, with the quiet Hhoroughriess of your mother. We all have a warm place in our hearts for Gwen, whom we have seen grow from babyhood into one of the best known girls in our village. Gwen will find it hard to leave the home of her early years, yet we feel that she will transplant herself more easily than the older members of the family. Our best wishes go with you all to Toronto, and through life, We know you will give a good account of your- selves, and we hope that the happy associations of the years of Christian Fellowship will cause us often to meet in mutual good will and pleasure. Newspapers Merge The 'Oshawa Daily Times and the Whitby Gazette and Chronicle are to be amalgamated under the pame of "The Times Gazette", the firat jssye of the combined papers to appear on Saturday, Janpary 3rd, 1942, This amalgamation is being effected as a war-time economy measure, The mechanjeal, éditorial, and reporting facilities of the new paper should glve effective and desirable sepvice to its subscribers. - The management has experience of Jong and successful standing. in the Oshawa-Whitby dis- trict, and as is pointed 'out in the an- nouncement, the interests of hoth Whitby and Oshawa are growing closer all the time, The combined papers will set a good pace in the Ontario press, serve McLean Radio Service ! ing both city and country, All municipalities throughtout On- tario are experiencing. this year the same lack of interést at financial and nomination meetings, particularly at meetings to receive the annual finan- cial statement, where there are no nominations, as Councils had been elected for a two year term. At the Port Perry meeting, only twelve were present including Reeve and some of the Councillors. Under the circumstances it was thought wise to adjourn the meeting. However, there are some high lights in the Financial Statement (a copy of which way be secured from the Treas- urer if you are interested) which de- serve notice. In the first place 91% of this years taxes was collected. Arrears of taxes continue to be reduced. A fine picce of road construction was done on. Cochrane and Caleb streets, This annual permanent im- provement of cross streets has been a fine policy. Next year we are hoping to sce the work done on Ella and Rosa streets during the summer holidays. That is a bad on going toward the ANNUAL MUNICIPAL MEETINGS PORT PERRY Feit the village' has pro- gressed favorably. The final payment oh the consolidated .debt debenture, not due until 1942, was paid($1463.60) out of current revenue in 1941, at a considerable saving in interest. In the further matter of debentures, our outstanding is as follows: Hydro $7119.02, due in 1946; Old School, 617.99, due in 1943; New High School, $27,008.98, due in 1956; Public School, $16,880.60, due in 1956; Sup- plementary Schsvl, $4000, due 1957; Watermain Bichon $1389.63, due in 1944; Public Library $671.31, due in 1945. Port Perry has now a population of 1235. Its tax rate is 47 mills-- County 9.21; Schools 21.90; General Debenture 2.30; Relief .47; Tax Re- serve 2.30; General 10.82. Total tax roll, 1941, $31,057.15. - The Waterworks shows the very favorable balance of $5016.26, Hydro has no outstanding accounts, The whole veport speaks well for good work of the Council, and the efticiency of the Treasurer, Mr. G. F. school, As was the case with other muni- cipal meetings, the attendance at Manchester was comparatively small, A few names were put forward for Councillors in addition to the 1941 men, but none qualified. There was no opposition to the Reeve and De- puty Reeve, so that the whole Council was re-clected by acclamation. A few figures are here quoted from the list of expenditures. Total sal- aries including tax collector, assessor, TOWNSHIP Scugog called its statutory meeting for Monday afternoon to receive the Financial Report, The Reeve, three members of the Council, Assessor, Tax Collector and Clerk-Treasurer were on hand with a carefylly prepared printed statement to distribute and yveady to answer question, meet critisism and give an account of thelr stewardship, Not a ratepayer turned up at the meeting. This may be interprbted as a compliment to the elected servants of the township but it is not a sign of live interest in public affairs. We are sure the reeve and council would have puch preferred a large attend- ance of the ratepayers so that ques- otions of interest might be: discussed to mutual advantage. This is the year in which statute labor was abol- ished and also the General School levy was doybled this year, this also being statutory. "Jt would reqyire a round- 8.00 Saturdays, 8.

Special Government grants amounted to $6,345.12, Printed reports may he secured from the Treasurer. OF SCU COG table discussion to aides fairly the value of the work done by the road commission, also value of the labour saved by the farmer at a busy time from being absolved from work on the roads in relation to the small addi- tional tax he has to pay and it would further require a statement from the several] school sections as to the bal- ance they have on hand at the close of the year which will be reflected in a smaller requisition in 1923, The statement showed a surplus of over $2500 provided tax arrears were paid up and it scemed to be -the opinion of the councillors that this situation should be righted while money was fairly easy to obtain and it looked as though word would be passed out to turn on the heat. A quantity of statements were left at the Hall and a sypply taken to the Sweetman store where it is hoped they will be distributed.
