The members of the Toronto Groc- cers' Association showed themselves in favor of shorter hours and more holidays at their monthly meeting in the Temple Building, Toronto, rec- ently. A. White spoke strongly in favor of both early closing and half holi- days on Weanesday afternoons dur- ing the summer months and made a plea to the association to make some effort to make it more general... Oth- er members of the association also took the same 8tand, believing that employees in stores should have shor- ter working bours. It was shown that in some neighborhoods while the majority were in favor of such a step, it was held back by one or two dealers who refused to fall in line. However, many of the dealers did not let that stop them, but closed anyway. Mr. White suggested that this should be brought- before the public through the newspaper or in some other manner, and believed that it would do a great deal of good. It was stated that in one district the dealers that did close sent out a pam- phlet to their customers in which they explained they thought the clerks should have shorter hours, and asked the public to co-operate with them in the movement.

The annual meeting of the fire de- partment of Atwood was held in the C. O. F. hall on Friday evening, but was not largely attended, seemingly the people of Atwood are dead when it comes to attending a meeting of such importanee, however, the num- ber that were present, made it a good rousing meeting, and many good suggestions were given. Among the number was the supply of water not being sufficient, especially for the {main part of the village, where it is most needed, and to keep the pump in good repair. During the most part of last winter the town pump was frozen up, and if a fire had oc- . |curred, the water supply was prac tically shut off. It was also discuss- ed as to the advisability of having another well drilled or to the raising of a tank, which if could be accom- plished would mean a great factor in the way. of protection against fire.

The occasion was the graduat- ion exercises and the ladies were the fair graduates. The ceremony was as pretty as it was impressive. The five disciples of the immortal Florence Nightingale were all very becomingly gowned and each of them curried a huge bouquet of American beauty roses, the gift of Miss Street, the head nurse of the institution. The pleasant duty of presenting the diplomas fell to Rev. Mr. Tovell, who made a brief congratulatory ad- dress in doing so. Dr. Chabot, of Ottawa, presented a handsome class pin to each of the graduates, and brief addresses were given by Dr. A. T. Hobbs, the super- intendent, as well as by Dr. Barnes and Dr. Robinson, of the Homewood staff. After the formal exercises a very enjcyable evening was spent in music and dancing. - Ethel.
