"c', Mp Fig The combination locks recently installed in the Weston post office are being tampered with by the school children. Complaints of a. similar character have been received from ru- ral sections. In both cases investitra- tion has been made and the truth of the statements verified. The post- master has in his possession the names of the several children who are guil- ty of his misdemeanor and intends taking steps to have the rural de- linquents brought to justice. He gives warning unless this practice is stop- ped the names of all offenders will be sent to the postal authorities at Toronto and the matter ot punishment left in their hands. _Sunday, November 25th, was ob- served as Victory Loan Day by all the Weston churches.

PAGE FOUR WESTON Ottawa, Nov. 28rd.-Candy is not on the embargo list and can be sent out without license anywhere. Ar- rangements have been made where- by sugar may be sent through the mails to the postal limits to sol- diers overseas, but it cannot be sent to civilians. -", T A very enthusiastic meeting of the Ladies of Weston was held on Tuesday afternoon in the Town Hall for the purpose ot discussing the question of organizing a branch of the Women's Citizen Association. Mrs. Ormsby and other prominent workers were pres- ent and gave very encouraging reports of the success ot the work. A full account of the speeches will ‘appear in next week's issue. But Not to Civilians Overseas-- Candy Not on Embargo List Stormy weather last Thursday night did not deter the Weston people from turning out in full force in apprecia- tion ot the Weston Fire Brigade's et- forts to provide an evening's first- class entertainment. Reeve J. M. Gardhouse, who occupied the chair, welcomed the audience in his genial way. He remarked on the great pleasure it afforded him to officiate in this capacity for such an organiza- tion, one of the most beneficial so- cieties any town could have, and Weston need take no second place on this score.' Her firemen were men dt brawn and muscle, quick to act and steady of nerve. This year in arranging their annual programme they had departed from the old or- der of professional artists and called upon men who had' left their native shores for duty's sake, and by doing their bit had returned incapacitated for a time at least, of following their previous ‘occupations,. assisted by two ladies these brave fellows having formed a company named The Khaki Follies, so that they might still be in the ranks of the wage earners of our land. A vein of pathos ran through many of their numbers, bringing bat- tlefields and the, soldier's life very forcibly before one, while other se- lections bordered on the ridiculous and brought forth rounds Of applause and laughter. The song service held in the Wes- ton Methodist Church last Sunday evening was very much appreciated by the large congregation present. Se- lections were sung from the new Hymnal, interspersed with solos,duets, and quartets by the members of the choir. As an appropriate introduction to the. address the old familiar hymn, "The Ninety and Nine," was sung. J. w. Stewart then gave a brief outline of its origin, dating back to the early days of Moody and Sankey's ministry. Mr. Sankey came across it in a penny religious pamphlet, had it set to mu- sit and used it very effectively in their evangelistic work. The author, a Scotch girl, grieving over a way- ward brother, had penned the lines as an outlet for an overburdened heart, little dreaming of the guiding starshe was providing for a sin-sick, weary soul. He gave illustrations of how many a wanderer had come into the fold through the avenue of song, therefore music was as necessary to the church's welfare as sermons. On coming down to his store a week ago Sunday' night, W. J. Inch discov- ered the back window broken and the door open: Upon investigation he found several watches, eigars, etc., missing, also all the coppers in both tills gone,” A bowl of a pipe was ly- ing on the floor and the tracing of this clue led to the identification of Jimmy Stewart as the guilty person. The young boy was brought before Magistrate Brunton last Thursday and pleaded guilty. Owing to the plead- ing of his father and mother, also the request of Mr. Inch to the judge to deal leniently with him, he was let off on suspended sentence. This is the second occasion that Mr. Inch's store has been robbed. The first time his loss was several articles of jewelry and between $15 and $20 in money. The Ratepayers' Association of Weston are holding their first retgu-, lar meeting on Thursday, November 29, in the Weston town hall, and every citizen is urgently requested to be present. Unless the people take an in- terest in this organization helping the officers by their presence, also bring to their notice matters of the c0mmu- nity interest, the Society will not be able to perform the duties assigned to such an organization. The pur- pose of which is to carefully analyze all civic questions,specia1 attention be- ing given to details. Necessary town improvements and conditions will be considered and discussed at the reg- ular meetings. The hearty co-opera- tion of all is desired. _ At the present time the Weston' sta- tion is fed from Cooksville distribu- tion station by a 13,200" volt line, but as soon as the new station to be erected south of Islington is complet-. ed, the Weston station will be fed from there, by a 26,400 volt line. This will greatly increase the capacity or our lines, will better the voltage reg- ulation, and will eventually. result in a decrease in the cost of power to the municipality of Weston. Owing to the steadily increasing de.. mand tor light and power for both do, mestic and commercial purposes in the town and surrounding districts served from the Weston system, the local Hydro Commission have had three large Westinghouse transform-. ers installed in their station to replace those installed at the inception of Hr. dro in Weston, and which have been heavily overloaded for some time. In a letter written by Lt. Pat O'- Brien, a German prisoner, but who was a fellow officer in the same squa- dron as Flight Lt. Paul H. Haney, reported missing on August 21st last. He states that the young otticer's ma- chine was shot down in an engage- ment with some German planes at Roulers, Belgium. Lt. Raney was a graduate ot the School of Practical Science. He enlisted with the Royal Flying Corps in February, 1917, reached England in, June and had on- ly been at the front a month. He was the son of Mr. IV. E. Raney, ICC., and a grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Alexan- der Fraser, Weston. He was well known in Weston, having spent several summer vacations with his grand- parents and later years on his Cath- er's farm in Etobicoke. Aprons, dainty, useful and reagon, able in price.

House Phone: Wil How long does it take you to clean your stable? Haven't you often longed for a better -way than cleaning with the wheel barrow? Isn’t it tedious? Don't you often wish you could avoid the job altogether. Dumping the manure right Joutside the windows or doors or into a pit beneath the floor is not cleaning the stable. Your stable isn't clean and the job isn't done until you have the manure away out in the barn yard where it won't rot the walls, where the fumes won't hurt the harness, take the paint off buggies and implements, or taint the milk. There is too much disease, too many dead- ly germs in a manure pile and it's too good a breeding place for the flies that carry disease and torment your cows to have it so near. The manure must be kept a long way from the barn. The stable has to be cleaned every day. It's something you can't neglect. Seven days a week the same dreary task faces you.
