Do not make a mad rush, but try and help the dealâ€" ers and) be patient. The local freight train running beâ€" tween Toronto and Stratford has only being going up one day and down the next. The present trouble is caused by the congestion of cars at Black Rock and Mimico yards. Several hundred cars of coal are being held up at these two points.. The railway commission have forced the railway companies to move the freight. Several passenger trains will be discontinued and thus give the freight end an opportunity to work. = Coal is something that few pqohle realize how scarce it is. Some people in town have been rather severe in their talk about the local merchants. They havg‘ complained against the service given and the great shortage. During the latter part ‘of last week coal was being dealt out in‘ 100 lb. lots. This was so that all would have a little to keep them going. By careful and judicial handling there has been coal in Weston right to date. ‘This is the result~ of the excellent judgment used by the local merâ€" chants. * P The Weston Coal & Lumber Co‘s. representative, Mr. Rudolph, <made several special trips right to the head men. He got his orders placed and has secured coal. ‘"‘The Mothereraft Manual," 173â€"5 R 22.â€"Presenting fundamental princiâ€" ples and facts rather than mere rules of thumb procedure. A brand new work.

Holy Days That some day in the years to come they will feel keenly ghis fact that when the Golden Hour arrived for them to assert their manhood, in that hour they were found wanting. This regret from their minds nothing can erase. That there are good and sound reaâ€" sons why they should not enlist seems improbable, and that now after two and a half years of war, without any signs of the insistent call for men touching a responsive chord in their hearts makes their indifference all the more incomprehensible. ST. JOHN‘S CHURCH, GEORGE ST. That they have not long since idenâ€" tified themselves with some branch of the army service is a matter of amazeâ€" ment. That in the County there are many eligible young men who could join the 220th is a selfâ€"evident fact to the most casual observer. The | 220th Battalion start this month an active campaign to secure recruits. It is the intention to cover the whole County of York in a big effort to reâ€" cruiat the battalion to full strength. They Will7 cover the whole County of York during January and Februâ€" The St. John‘s Ohurch â€" had four beautiful services on Sunday mornâ€" Ing at 11 o‘clock. The church was filled.

The president asks that each director will attend, as the Xmas. season inâ€" terfered with the December meeting. There is a great deal of business to. do this month to make arrangements for the coming season, taking up the selection of premiums, the work with our school children, the number of flower shows to be held, and the most important, the canvass for: memberâ€" ship, as without a good. membership we cannot carry on the work so well done in past years. â€"Onâ€" account of war conditions our premiums last year were late in arriving and some were unsatisfactory. The board have deâ€" cided to remunerate those members whose plants failed last year and hope to increase the membership (now 194), considerably and have Weston Society stand as one of the foremost in Ontario. This can only be done by everyone of last year‘s members conâ€" tinuing their interest and help in the task of making our town more picturâ€" esque and a place. of beauty. All members are invited to attend each monthly meeting and take part in all discussions and debates, when, if sufâ€" ficient interest is taken, some topic on Horticulture would be . taken |up, whereby the monthly meetings could be made profitable. A short matins wa: read and then the first part of the soly communion service. The Bisnoy then addressed the confirmation canvidates from the xii chapter of Romains and the first and second verses:. .â€" ‘"I beseech you, therefore, brethren. by the mercies oi Go«, that ye present your bodies & living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. "And be rot comformed to this world; but be ye (rinsformed by the renewing of your misd, that ye. may provée what is that zood, and acceptâ€" able, and perfect, will of God." His words were my :t suitable to not only those presenting themselves for confirmation, but tiso for all presâ€" ent. & 3N ; He spoke on the tiree partsâ€"first, to present your bodies a living sacriâ€" fice; secondly not to be conformed to this world; thirdly, to be transformâ€" ed. The great contrust there was, that of the ideal sacrifice made by the Romans to the‘s dead God. St. Paul calls upon us ‘Sé{_lha.ke our bodies a living sacrifice fo wa living God. Secondly, we mush M0% be conformed to this world.. Adg & mould turns out its own form i{n the material is set, so if we be@Mxme conformed or moulded in the Wor‘gd,'?,t mould, we will turn out thus. St. Paxl exhorted all to fashion our lives ¢om the mould of Christ‘s teaching. _ s the world is again Christ and his teaching we must not be confoimed to the world. Thirdly, we must become transâ€" formed. He spoks to the candidates for confirmation of this great opporâ€" tunity. Copfirmv.t?i‘pn called upon them to surrender self, sacrifice self and become transiscmed. Sixteen candidates were confirmed seven men and ni> > ladies. His Lordship th n read. a special service for the du:nittance of Mrs. Beach as a memhba. of the Church of England. 2 ‘The choir rencered Simper‘s comâ€" munion service very beautifully. Master Geo. Veral sang during the offertory in his vimal good style. The Bishop, assikted by the rector, held‘ the holy commiunion service. HORTICULTLEAL SOCIETY 220TH BATTALION NOTES JNO.

A couple of new men are out practising with both teams and hope to make the teams. They will string .their other team. Let the fans come out: and cheer the boys on to victory.â€" A little cheer and encouragement from the sideline is a great incentive. It acts as a stimulant to the players. The localâ€"team, however, are not to be overlooked... They are very fast on their skates, <but lack experience and.stick handling. . It will come with practice and games. On their own rink the locals will be a hard proposiâ€" tion for the best of them to crack. The intermediate team journeys to Brampton for the second game toâ€" night. On Friday evening the Junior O. H.A. team will play their first game at home, Their opponents, will be the strong 228th Battalion team. They are spoken of as the winners of this group. At the present time it takes too long to go to the Junction. This is esâ€" pecially so when you have just missâ€" ed a car. With more cars running and a ten minute service a much quicker and better run can be made. The better service will pay the comâ€" pany. More people will be disposed to use the line. The Canada Cycle Works have sevâ€" eral departments running in their new plant. The office staff will be out to take up their new quarters on Monday. By the first of February all the plant will be operated from their new plant. When all is running with the present equipment there ‘will be some three hundred men employed and several girls. A firm of this desâ€" cription is a big asset to this town. What .are the townspeople doing to meet the increased population?. A. large number of the people employâ€" ed live in the city. Some have to go to the east end of Toronto. Will they do it? Yes, if they cannot be accommodated here. â€" What is requirâ€" ed is that all who are able should lay plans to induce these people to reside here. Point out the beautiful location, the great present opportunâ€" ity wher prices are low.. Point out the benefits of living outside‘ aâ€" city and yet right in touch with the city. If the people of Weston will all strive to encourage these people to settle here it will be a step to a greater Wesâ€" ton. The pay roll of the company is very big. If these men and their famâ€" illes live. here, most, of it will stay here. If, however, these people traâ€" vel back and forth to Toronto none will stay here. It means that some effort has to be made to secure homes for these people. Think it over and start something. No wild land specâ€" ulation, no boost in the prices of houses is wantedâ€"nothing but good, sane business deals. We now have an opportunity‘of getting 100 new families in town.. Will some éffort be made? : s With the «discontinuing of eertain trains it means more people will use the cars on the Weston Road. How will these extra people be cared for? Are the Suburban going to come forâ€" ward and give us better service? At present the cars are overtaxed. It is a fight to get on a car at nights or during the rush. An extra car each twenty minutes would help a little. Larger cars would be a greater advanâ€" tage, but what is required is a faster service and a little oftener. A company is now being formed to purchase an automobile. The purâ€" pose is to run a jitney service between here and Toronto. At present the car accommodation is bad and the train service is being cut down. Therefore this company is coming into existence. It will mean a big saving of time and one can ride in a little comfort. Let us hope the company is successful in its enterprise. 5 Mrs. T. Moffat Mrs. Thos. Moffat, one of the oldest residents of Weston, passed peacefulâ€" ly away at her home. on Dennison Ave., on Sunday, Jan. 7. Deceased, who had been in poor health for some time, was born in Beith, Ayreshire, Scotland, was married there, coming to Canada‘ some 40 years ago. For the past 25 years «the family have resided in Weston. Her husband preâ€" deceased her 10 years ago, since that time the sons having carried on the large manufacturing plant of The Moffat Stove Co. She was in her 80th year, but up till the time of her illâ€" ness was very active in all lines of church and charitable work, was a member of the Presbyterian Church. Besides a wide cirecle of friends she leaves to mourn her loss a family of four sons and one daughter â€" _ John K., Thomas Iâ€", Freaetick W., Alfred B., Charles L., and (Bessic) Mrs. Thomas Matheson, all of Weston. A private funeral service was held at her late residence on Tuesday, Januâ€" ary 9.. Interment took place at Rivâ€" erside Cemetery, Weston. 4 ,_ An effortâ€"is being made by the Canâ€" ada Cycle Co. to have the C. P. R. run a train out in the morning from Toronto in time for work and return in the evening after work. This is one of the first moves to get away from the wretched street car service that is given on this line.
