STOP 14, MIMICO BEACH It is welcome news to Mimico that at four o’clock on Tuesday traffic from stop 16 to Sunnyside has" been re-opened. This Mmes with great joy after many weary', rough rides over Queen Street and the other roaris. The whole road will be officially op- ened on Saturday afternoon, by the powers that be. It has been a hard- ship, on the Lake Shore merchants, They, however, will now reap the benefit, . Dr. Rochester spoke on Sunday ev- ening in the Presbyterian Church to a goo& congregation. He emphasized the necessity tor a greater protection of the Sunday. The tendency is to drift from the strict observance ot' the Lord's Day. By concentrated efforts this can be overcome. The Women's Guild of Christ Church are busy preparing for the bazaar to be held on Tuesday, Decem- ber "th, in the Sunday school room of the church. Bishop Reeve of Toronto was/pres- ent last Sunday evening in Christ Church and gave a very interesting missionary address on the work in the Mackenzie River district among the Indians and Esquimeaux. On Sunday morning a very impress- iife service was held in the Mimico Presbyterian Church. Mr. T. Fer.. guson gave a very tine and inspiring address on the opportunities for ser- vice an elder has. Mr. Gould spoke very kind yords of welcome to the three newly inducted. elders, Mr. R. Reed, Mr. A. Cranor and Mr. J. Fray- er. One good system installed to take care of the town and district would not only be a, benefit to the people here, but would also be a help to the company. By the erection of a cen- tral station the whole district could be, given a service that would be equal to the demands. To secure this the case must be carefully prepared and presented. Considerable effort and work would be required. Yet by a careful gathering of statistics and de- tails a case can be made presentable to the railway board tor considera- tion. Every step to meet the Toronto authorities of the Bell Telephone Co. have been met with a gracious court- esy and let drop. The whole district should arrange the case and make it strong enough to appeal to those in control. This district is such that we should have telephone communica- tions with Toronto at a much cheaper rate. If the board of trade would make this matter up some important work would be accomplished. St. Leo's It. C. Church, Mimico, was the scene of a very pretty wed- ding on Wednesday morning, the 14th, when Clara Mary, third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. Benton, was married to John McElroy, second son of Mr. and Mrs. R. McElroy, Mimico. The bride,' who was given away by her father, looked very charming in her travelling suit of Burgandy gabardine, black pieture hat with "black turse,and carried a corsage bouquet of American beauty roses and wore the gift of the groom, a pearl necklace. Miss Ada Benton, sister of the bride, acted as bridesmaid and wore a. Russian green suit with black hat and furs and carried a bouquet of pink roses. Mr. J. O’Connell of Toronto was best man. The" groom's gift _ to the bridesmaid was a pearl and ruby ring, and to the best man gold cuff links. Mrs. J. Ma- lone played the wedding march and during the signing of the register Mrs. J. A. Germany sang; "O Love Divine." After the ceremony _a reception was held at'the home, of the bride's par- ents, Cavell St., Mimico. ‘Later in the day the happy young couple left for eastern points. On their return they will reside in Mimico. The bride was the recipient of many beautiful and useful gifts.

Should not the telephone, being a public utility', be made for the public? It will never be until the people demand it. At present one half the telephones in Mimico are city phones and the other local. It is necessary to ring in long distance to talk to your neighbor. The cost is not the only bad feature of this. The long wait and incon- veniences are most annoying. What is being done by the Mimico Board of Trade? At the present time some effort could be put forth by this body to secure better telephone ser- vice. This district is not getting what it is entitled to. As long as the pri- vate corporations are not looked af- ter they will not move. No steps were taken by the Bell Telephone Co. to service this district until the Vaughan line came into being. The Bell closed them out and at once stopped there. As a result this district has suffered. We have a phone system and we have not.

He is now in Norwich Hos- pital suffering from a wound in the shoulder. ’It'occurred when a Ger- man shell hit their gun and exploded. A piece of the gun hit Chester in the shoulder and cut the main artery. An operation was necessary in France and then he was returned to Norwich, where he is doing very well. Word was received last week by Mr. Chester Hughes that his son, Sergt. Chester A. Hughes, who was severely wounded in the shoulder on October 6th, has been removed from Camiers Hospital, France, to Norfolk, England. He went overseas in Sep- tember of 1915 with the artillery.

Some of tls-cosy'-)); received about the télephotfir Service in New Toronto and district have revealed the fa6t that connections are not so slow. ttjs, the subscribers who will not an- swer their telephone ikcalls that are holding up the lines. The telephone is a great convenience, yet it must be answered promptly. If the line is held, up for two or three minutes beniuse you do not answer your telephone call, the whole system is delayed. Thus when you ring and ask for a number you find-the line busy. It is only by a; hearty co-operation on the part of both the subscriber and the company that ideal conditions can be attained. The local conditions are such that to get the highest service every sub- scriber must answer his call promptly on the ring. It means only a few sec- onds in most cases and the lines are released for the next party. Thus the operators are able to give good service. and quick connections. A careful study of this detail and a considera- tion for the local office will no doubt rhelp considerably. Try and co-oper- ate with the company-and make the local service give the best results, The New Toronto Council met with the iMimico Council . on Thursday night.' The Suburban Railway Com, pany made certain propositions inure- ferencerto' the moving of the tracks and putting in long "switches. They presented a plan whereby they pro- pose: to giveja six minute service'to Sunnyside frOm.New Toronto. To do this it, is necessary that three long switches be built in New Toronto be- tween lst and 'Sth Streets, 8th and 15th Streets and,1st an,d 4th Avenue-s. They also:r,equAre the town’to ‘payn large sum as their share towards the moving of. the present' track; After consideration by the council of New Toronto, it was decided to accept the agreement. All of the'council 'felt that it waathe best and only way out of the difficulty. A better car ser- vide is required, as the district is growing rapidly. The present service during rush hours is not at all ade- quate for the. requirements. There- fore the council. felt that in accepting this agreement they did so in the best interest of the corporation. Since the acceptance it has been pointed out that the acceptance. of this by the railway will mean practically a double track through' New Toronto, as the first switch-measures 1350 ft., the second 1950 it, and the, third 1050 ft., making a. total of 4350 ft. of switching track and leaving only 2,000 ft. of single track in New Toronto. If this is the case, why not have a double Brown’s Brass Rolling; Mills have moved into their large/pew offices. The building, which stands'at the cor- ner of the Lake Shore Roa‘d ane 8th Street, is a. beauty. There is' ho build- ing ot its ’class on the whole of the highway. In building no expense has been spared.that would add to the general appearance of the ‘building. The interior is also finished with that same excellent taste and care.

Every dollar spent should get dollar value‘in return: To do this one must, sit down and think out, where will I get my best value for the dollar. Good value can be received by giving groceries for Xmas presents this year. With the assistance of the local mer- chants. nice little hampers can be made‘up.

Kgain, in considering this, it would be well for you to consult your local grocery. Why go to Toronto to spend your money.
