THE LISTOWEL BANNER - Horse Shoers Must o * Know Their Business IF PROPOSED BILL GOES INTO EFFECT THEY WILL BE RE- QUIRED TO REGISTER. If the bill now before the Legis- lature goes into effect, it will be unlawful for any person to carry on the business of horseshoeing in-On- tario unless he has obtained a ‘“Cer- tificate of Registration.” The law, however, is not intended to af- fected those any actually. engag- ed in the busines The bill Lavreaiinl to have all ap- plicants for certificates examined by a board of five examiners, composed of four master horsesho- ers and a veterinarian. All practising horseshoers must file an affidavit, stating the time he has practised his trade, and, on payment of a fee of two dollars, he will receive his “Cers tificate of Qualification.” Any other person desiring to ob- tain a ‘Certificate of Registration” must make application at least three ‘months previous to examination, pay an examination fee of five . dollars, and present himself at the next meet- ing of the boerd for the examination of applicants. If he shows -to the sat- isfaction of the board that he stud- fed and practised the trade of *horseshoeing for a period of three ‘years as a horseshoef, aa a prac- tising horseshoer, and that he is pe- sessed of the requisite Kilt ‘in said trade to properly perform the duties thereof, he will be given a certificate and allowed to practice in the pro- vin ce. All places of business where borse- shoeing is carried on must obtain a special shop license, which will be granted, provided the equipment and sanitary —— of the place are approved by the board. The fee for this license’ will be $5.00 a year. Failure to register will entail a fine not less than $25 or over $100.

To Wieussae aie Tire Thie Because of the epidemic of stealing, especialiy new ones, w naturally bring much higher prices than ones that show wear, motorists make a mistake when they carry new tires as spares. The most sensible thing to do is to use a new tire for a few hundred miles. ° . * Auto Preparcdnes This is the time of rnin year to plan shop repairs on the car.

THE RIGHT TO WORK (London Advertiser) A Kitchener man poisoned himself, nd passed away before medical as- istance could do anything for him Scanty information points to the fact that he was worried because he could not secure employment For that reason there ne _ wood in the’ house, there w coal, clothing for his wife and "ahiideen Was scanty, and food was the same. We are at the stage now where we speak about the problem of unem- ployment as though we were partici- pating in some academic discussion. It has ceased to cause us to shud- der as though we were in the pres- ence of a thing that should have no place in this country. We even speak of men as though they didn’t want to work, and inti- mate that their troubles are the re- sult of their own indifference. ow for all the exceptions, and the fact remains to face us that the average man does want to work— he does want to provide for those who are dependent onshim—he does want to feel that he paying his way. These cases that come to the sur- face in the tragic light of an empty poison at the side of a man who has in him the possibilities of ead-winner are not to be passed ‘over lightly. They are horrible blots on our system of doing things; they are a reflection on our methods that pile wealth high here and_= spread poverty thick there. afoforonfocfoeloforfecforteoforlenfeafortoaiontoefontoninatecteatecteniecte * + > MONKTON % . *, . _ .. s fos™ oe 0s % eel coteotoctcslocloo’. afoefoefonlesfocJoofecfetaatrolestooteatealeetestoclecleate te .
