331‘! EW/j, Mr. F. W. Kidd, who returned from England the 12th of October, has made application for an extension of V furlough or exemption from further , service.. He enlisted in the 4th C.M. C a It. on November 16th, 1914, was stret- ' Cher bearer in the trenches and went through the battles of Messines and Ypres, was wounded while our troops were shelling Lens. They were at this time back of Louvain. Mr. Kidd has some mementos which are really worth seeing, among them may be _ mentioned a pair of crossed swords from General Mercer's uniform, and a German pistol. This pistol is Opel'- ated on the principal of the machine gun. He also has an old time double barrelled pistol, muzzel loader fired - by the-cap and nipple principal. Mr. r Kidd dug this pistol up while filling sandbags. It must be very old. Mr. Kidd’s family consists of five children and his wife. The wife is expecting to enter the hospital any day, and in the opinion of the writer here is where T the real ground tor an exemption ex- ists/, tor with the mother invalided, who will take the same interest in the children that their own dad will, and they are just at the age that they need a tather's care and control. As I saw him last night sitting in his easy chair . (presented to him last week by the Orange Lodge) and surrounded by his little family, I could not help think~ ing to myself what a, great injustice l it would be to remove from his little, flock this man who at the first call to _ Iarms had jumped to it and done his bit,. for if the father is taken from them the government must stand sponsordor this family, so what has the government to gain? It is my fimiopinion (arrived atyrtter mature v,-i-"gleliberation) that the community at large should take this matter up them- selves and use every effort and influ- ence to obtain this exemption. Mr. Kidd is a man who stands very high 'in the estimation ot the community, he is a skilled sheet metal worker and has all the tools and appertainances of his trade, even including a wagon. . Therefore I feel fully warranted in stating that the community would be _ immensely benefited by his addition to our complement of business men.

God grant, with her allies, She'll win for the right. _ Among the heroes of mythology and of ancient legend no grander charac- ter appears than St. George of Merrie England. He saved his people from destruction in their greatest hour of need. He had lacked character and courage. they'd have been in a sad po- sition indéed_ Mother England has been called again _ in her great might To arm hey sons as in days of yore And send them forth to fight, For a scrap of.paper and freedom, ' W. W. Cook, Buttonwood Avenue, had a Hallowe‘en decoration in his store this week, which, to say the least, was very unique. The window setting was skillful. It represented an old witch sitting at her fire stewing her herbs. She had a live kitten rest- ahurdirst on one shoulder and then on the other, giving it quite a natural ef- fect. The same scheme was carried out in the store, yellow crepe paper devising witches and other quaint fig- ures. Mr. Cook deserves credit, as it nlust have entailed a great amount of extra work, and one has not seen, even dn the city, a display which showed any better, if as much, 'advertising ~genius. . A surpise party was held for Mr. Sam. Waller, 27 Boulevard Road. He was presented with a gold ring, and everyone enjoyed themselves to the full. These are the events which make life worth living. Twenty-tive couples were present. Reeve Griffith and the members of York Township council accompanied by Engineer Wynn Roberts, made an inspection last week of the construc- tion ot the water mains in the 1ocali- ties of Eglinton Avenue, Vaughan Road, Weston Road, Jane Street, and Baby Point, and found the work sat- isfactory and progressing favorably. It is understood that Buttonwood Aven- ue will mark the limit of work done this fall in the Mount Denhis section. A linen shower was held at the home of Mr. Rose, 18 Nichol Street, a Week ago Friday. A large crowd of people were present and everyone vot- ed the affair an unqualified success. A meeting of the Baptist friends will be held on Wednesday evening to tur- ther perfect plans for special services to”be held a week from this coming Sunday. Particulars will be given in next week’s issue. Watch for them. They will be extremely interesting. Mrs. Ranesbottom has received an- other communication from her son, Charles, who as was previously stated, is a prisoner in Germany. He re- ports that he is enjoying good health, Thursday, 25th, a social evening was held by the young people of the Mount Dennis Baptist Church. Cap- tain Patterson, M.A., gave an address ‘relative to the camps at Shorncliffe and Folkestone.. He spoke very feel- Tingly with respect to the transcendent courage of our boys in the trenches. In speaking of the destruction of the Cloth Hall and other notable build- ings in Ypres he drew a word picture so vivid that it filled one with loath- ing and disgust of the Prussian army. A free will offering of $30 was col- 'lected, which will be used in sending Xmas parcels overseas. The business of J. Ranesbottom, blacksmith, Weston Road, has grown 1:0 such an extent that he has been <ybliged to erect an addition to ac- <tommodate his wagon work. The Canadian Nitro" Products Co intend starting a night shift shortly. Kingscourt Lodge S.0.E. will have a musical evening November 7th in Marshall’s Hall. Knowing the com- mittee as we do, We feel warranted in “stating that everyone present will have an enjoyable time. They have 'Secured some splendid local and out- side talent for the occasion. A nom- "vial charge of 200 for adults and 10c :for children will be charged. MOUNT DENNIS Will the ratepayeig of Triton kind- ly assist the councilr in the discharge of their financial obligations by the prompt payment of all taxes on No- vember 20, 1917. _ Twenty ot our Weston boys now journey to Silverthorne district to at- tend the scout meetings. An effort will be made to organize a troop in Weston. This would give all the Wes- ton boys a chance to become more ef- ficient for the struggle of life. Those interested are calling a meeting for Thursday night tor the purpose of or- ganization. All men interested in the welfare of Canada and future Cana- dians should get in touch with this meeting and assist in the great work. With the great cry for conservation of food being directed to our people, there comes a still greater awakening. Food is not Canada's greatest asset. Mineral wealth is not our greatest as- set. Vast undeveloped wealth in our forests, grain fields and mountain ranges is not our greatest asset. Can- ada's greatest asseth in her boys and girls. What is the use of this vast heritage it we do not have men and women big enough to hold the posi- tion? What we want to conserve are the boys and girls. To do this, one of the greatest agencies of the day is the Boy Scout movement. The boys are trained to look on life in a practi- cal T7ayh, and develop true manhood. The ideals set before the boys are ot the greatest value. The training 9an- not be over-estimated. The develdp- ment of physical, intellectual and mor- al life is our greatest accomplishment. This will produce men who chn han- dle our great assets. _ The soldier picked up his empty sleeve with his hand and peered anx- iously into it. "Say, map!" he said, looking up in great surprise, "I believe you’re right." "Say!" he said, "I see you lost an arm in the wary' A returned soldier entered a street car and sat next a man (one of those who are always minding someone else's business). The man noticed that the soldier had but one arm. HEARD ON WESTON STREET CAR Special attention should be paid to the cleaning of crossings on the back streets. It is hard at many points to find a clean crossing. A little care and attention by the authorities of the town will help these matters along. With the extra heavy rains our roads are all in bad condition. One of the most deplorable conditions exist right in the centre ot"the town. The Toronto Suburban tracks are filled with water. Any person wanting to cross must go through water over their boot tops. Could this water not he drained oft? Is it not up to the railway company to put in a proper crossing? This should be attended to at once by the company. Some effort ghth'1Rptirg6' ber made to have all'the fallen leaves and rubbish removed trom-the ditches. At present this de- brispnly holds the water and slush 'bacrt tind' makes the roadway bad. When the water is drained ott there is an opportunity for the road to dry much more quickly. Considerable money has been spent upon our roads this year. A little time spent now in proper draining will save a lot of bad roads. James Williams James 'Williams, brother ot the late Thos. Williams of Weston, passed away at his home in Orangeville at- ter an illness of two weeks. Deceased, who was 64 years of age, was born in Ireland but came to Weston with his parents when a small boy, receiv- ing his education in the Weston schools. He entered the service of the Canadian Pacific Railway Co. when quite young and rose rapidly till he received his appointment ot sta- tion agent, which position he occupied at Orangeville, when death called him away from earthly duties. His wife, two sons, one in Toronto and one in Detroit, and one daughter, Miss Wil- liams, at home, survive him, Inter- ment took? place in Riverside Ceme- tery, Weston, upon the arrival of the 11 a.m. CPR. train Tuesday, October with. Ret,. Mr. Robinson of Toronto, Airr"trld thri'tcuy friend, conducted the services, assisted at the grave by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Last year Etobicoke Township had over 200 cases of lots in arrears for three years. They advertised the sale of these lots and secured 95 per cent. ot the amount before the date of the sale. Thus they were able to collect their just dues. When a municipality strikes a/rate it includes all the assess- able value it can realize. If 20 per cent. bt the amount is not collected it means an overdraft for that amount. It requires an extra tax or higher rate next year to make it up. Is this fair to the man who pays his taxes? In town we have some taxes for 1913 that hare not been paid. There are a lot more in 1914 still unpaid and also 1915, 1916 and 1917. Should these places be carried by the town? Should the citizens of Weston be asked to. car- ry all the burden and let these delin- 'yuintssqtt? No, Weston should set the‘mach‘inery to work. Sell the lots it they will not produce the necessary money to pay the taxes. All extra ex- _ penses incurred in the sale and its preparations are to be borne by those in arrears. l This is a great opportunity for the council to collect a lot of money due to our town. Once they see that you mean to collect the taxes they will pay. _ Toronto" each year advertises those lots and lands that are in three years' arrears and sells all that are not re- deemed on or before the date. All the neighboring municipalities do the same. As a result they do not have to carry over large arrear sheets. Every municipality has those who are hold- ing the land for speculation. They do not want to pay the cash out. They figure 10 per cent. is a cheap way to carry it over from year to year. As a result they will not pay until they have to. We find that as the year draws to a dose there comes to our minds the old sgtement in regard to two things a ma is sure ot--'Cluxes and death." The law orthe land was so complete that every man is required to pay the taxes. In case of default after three years his land is to be advertised and sold. This has been a great Protec- tion for many municipalities. CANADA'S GREAT ASSET THE ROADS ARE BAD TAXES IN ARREARS DIED Wfifigyg psy.) far 'v.')'),'?"?': See T imes Si?

Evans will attend to South Etobicoke. These men will or- gani'ze their district and will set out to secure the objective for their sec- tions. To do this they will have to receive the co-operation of every manufacturer, merchant and employee in the district. They will also have to receive the assistance of,the retired men in the county. . A hearty support of this great issue is eai‘riestly anticipated. Canada has never yet failed to realize her duty. She will not fail now. WEDNESDAY To carry out this big campaign each county is organized. Mr. W. II. Pug- sley is chairman and ff. E. Ramsden secretary of the County of York. Mr. H. A. Sifton is the organizer. He has opened an office at 312-313 Ryrie Building, Yonge St. One of the great necessities to a successful termination ot the War is money. Every dollar must be utilized to this end. Our calls are great, but the dire necessity is greater. Canada must have money to "carry on" in this great struggle. The flotation of bonds in Canada'to finance Canada's requirements was never thought of. Previous issues have been over-sub- scribed, yet everybody has not used his money for this purpose. Big trusts and corporations supplied most ot the money required. The object of this loan is to raise the money from each and every person in the Domin- ion. Every person who can do so is asked to contribute to this loan to the country. 5:33 il1lElClfil BEAVER THEATRE ...........
