Hosie and son, Gilbert, of Belvedere Height, Los Angeles, Cali- fornia, are visiting with Mrs. E. Hen- derson and Mr. and Mrs. J. Snedden, 150 Nile Street. * *s * Another C. N. R. excursion has passed into history and the verdict of the thousand or more local citizens who attended it is the same as in for_ mer years--"it was a great success." From the moment the first special train pulled out of the local depot headed for . Ridgeway, from which point the picnickers tok busses for Crystal Beach, to the moment that the last tardy dancer raced out of the dance hall to catch the bus back to Ridgeway, the picnic was all that a picnic should be. The C N. R. Band was on hand to add to the enjoyment of the outing. In the evening, the National Maids who have earned a large following as a snappy girls' softball team, defeated the Port Colborne girls by a 14-12 score. y Too much credit for the success of the affair can not be given to the committees which had charge of the arrangements, namely: The executive committee, J. B. Dun- lop, chairman; S. W. Rust, J. Baxter, H. L. Powell, C. McDonald, J. A. Mott, Geo. McKellar; transportation com- mittee, J. O'Donoghue, chairman; C. E. Skirten, W. Carter, C. I. Pratt, Geo. Sherwood and E. Currier; sports committee, W. W. Carr, chairman; W. Marks, W. T. Salmond, P. De- Lafranier; grounds committee, W. Osborne, chairman; C. Dean, N. Siegel; publicity committee, E. W. Brown, chairman; J. Weis, D. M. Ross and W. H. Bexon. Ra * * Ald. R. A. McDonald we believe was quite a singer at one time, and one of his favorite pieces was entitled "Way Down Yonder In The Corn Field."' That's the only way we can imagine anyone thinking of selling corn as a means of making money for the un- employed. There are only a few peo- ple who know how much thought and how much time Ald. McDonald spends in the interests of those in need. Mr. McDonald, chairman of the city's re- lief committee, sure has struck a nov- el and practical way of doing a real rservice, and the boys are making good selling the corn from Dublin. Heard one of the salesmen say the other day that he made the best week's pay he had in a long time. If heard cor- rectly this unemployed young man made $26.00 this week. And maybe he wasn't feeling good. Corn week so far has been a real success, and while Mac is turning the corn over to the unemployed at just what it cost him he is feeling richer than he ever did in his life before. And let us all buy corn for the sake of dividends, and whether we believe it or not divid- ends do not always come in the form of coin. Time has wrought many changes in Stratford's business houses, Improve- ments and renovations have so chang- ed the appearance of most of the downtown stores within the last ten years that a person who had not been in Stratford during that period would searcely recognize them. The latest contribution to the ever- improving business section of the city is Jack Fox's new jewelry store on Wellington Street. Mr. Fox's store on Downie Street has been well-known to Stratford citizens. Business expansion has made it necessary to have larger quarters, and Mr. Fox has chosen the store on Wellington Street formerly inovations are rapidly nearing occupied by J. J. Crosier and Co. Re- com- | pletion, and when Mr. and Mrs. Fox and staff receive their friends in their new business home they will see a |modern jewelry store which would be \a credit to any city in Ontario regard- jless of its size. * a = | Stratford's market by-laws, framed |to meet the demand of the days of | the horse and buggy, are almost ob- |solete, according to Ald. R. A. Mc- | Donald. The by-laws need redrafting, Ald McDonald told the committee of |the whole of the city council last jweek, and a small committee was 'named to consider the changes which |should be made. In the meantime, se- |veral important amendments are to |be made to protect the Ontario grow- |er-from competition by persons seil- jing American-grown fruit. "The market place shall not be used | for the sale.of imported foreign fruits, inuts, vegetables, or dairy produce, or ' " * : jany articles not herein otherwise ex- pressly specified as being permitted" to be sold thereon"; this is an emer gency clause which will be added to the market by-laws to shut out Am-=~ erican fruit. Other clauses will read: : "All criers or callers are prohibited © and no one is allowed to distribute dodgers, bills or advertising matter" of any kind on the market." : "No persons having scales OF weights for their own use in the market shall weigh or suffer to be weighed with such scales or weights any article whatsoever for other im- dividuals." : "During market hours, no cars al lowed on the market except those" containing produce or other articles for sale." The clause covering the use of seal- es is meant to turn revenue toward the city scales. An interesting situation regarding the market place which was revealed during the discussion on the by-laws was that a farmer 'would be perfectly within his rights in selling his goods= on the square behind the city hall. * LJ * HER SUSPICIONS Wife (at 2 p.m.).--If I only knew where you've been!
