e drartoy 12 x i Th AGAT 36 Shbilce M S it 0 t Another judgment: by. Justice Duff shows that exemption is favored for men with all brothers already at the Yronitsorâ€"in service. s . lorlye>cichls Mr. Justice Duff‘s first judgment as Central Appeal judge for Canada on Dscember 7th makes it quite.clear that farm workers are entitled to exemption on the grounds that proâ€" duct.on must be maintained in order to sustain the Military power of the Allies. This judgment of the Appeal judge is binding as law upon appeal tribunals and local tribunals throughâ€" out the whole country. FARM WORKERS EXEMPTED FROM MILITARY SERVICE Drawing for the watch, coal, hand made scarf and chocolates took place on Friday night. Mrs. Kehoe of Pape Avenue had the good fortune of winâ€" ning a very handsome watch, which was donated by Rev, Father Doherty. ‘The ton of coal, a very welcome gift indeed this year, donated by the Busy Bee Club, was won by Mrs. J. Watt, Mimico. Hand made scarf donated by Mrs. Sinnott, New Toronto, was won by Mrs. McDonough, Mimico. Box of chocolates won by Mrs. M. Hennesâ€" sey, New Toronto. On Thursday afternoon many of those present enjoyed a game of euâ€" chre, the prize being carried off by Mr. Roach. The booths were very artistically decorated by the ladies in charge. The apron booth, which was run by Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Roach, Mrs. Sandâ€" ford and Mrs. Renton, was in red and green. The Country Store, under Mrs. Malone, Mrs. J. A. Gormally, and Mrs. M. J. O‘Donnell, was decorated with holly. Home made cooking and tea rooms looked. very inviting and was capably run by Mrs. J. Witmer, Sr., Mrs. Witmer, Jr., Miss Alma Grouse and Miss M. Stock. Fancy goods booth looked very beautiful, the decorations being white and sky blue, colors of the Sodality, the members of which had charge. Messrs. Boulton, Witmer and J. O‘Donnell had charge of the Wheel of Fortune. Ladies at the door were Mrs,. Diamond and Mrs. G. Dunn. All felt that something should be «done by Mimico to assist in the relief of the great disaster at Halifax. The clerk will write Mayor Church and find out what is the best means of assisting. _ _A petition for sanitary sewers on Church Street was granted. The clerk was instructed to prepare the necesâ€" sary construction by law at once. St. Leo‘s Bazaar, which was held in the Public Library on Thursday and Friday last, was a grand success. As all the ticket returns . have not. yet been handed in, it is not known just what has been made. Mr. Gooderham was present with plans of the proposed switches for the "York Radial line. These, while inâ€" wereased, do not take in the length that the railway planned for at first. Some slight alterations were proposed by the council. These will be made and the whole scheme will be presented to the counci lon Saturday by Mr. Goodâ€" erham. A light will be placed at the corner of Dwight Avenue and Struther Sts. This is a dark corner and all felt it was necessary to have better lighting. This closed the business of the evening. e ‘On Monday night the council held their regular meeting. The Mayor, Mr. Harrison, presided and all the members were present. â€" Mr. and Mrs. J.â€".O‘Connell of Hamâ€" ilton spent the week end at the home of Mrs. O‘Connell‘s mother, Mrs. Mcâ€" Elroy, Mimico. . Are you in favor of having the waâ€" iter works and Hydro Electric systems now operated separately, combined and managed by a commission. This is a question that you will be asked to vote upon at the municipal â€"election in January. /It is the system in operâ€" ation in all progressive municipalities. It has provegl a great asset to the €arrying on and developing of the work. Everybody should get behind and «boost it. t Remember your taxes are due this week. By prompt payment you will save 5 per cent. Don‘t give the town this 5 per cent. They do not want it. Give them your taxes in full. It means money in your pocket. It assists the town in cheir work. Don‘t let it slip by. Saturday will be the last day for the €ouncil of 1917 to meet and do busiâ€" mess. On Monday the 24th nominaâ€" tions will be held for the offices. It might be noted . that Superior Avenue south of the Lake Shore Road ground. The water tank, steam shovâ€" ground. The water tang, steam shovâ€" el, etc., and old sewer pipe makes this the important stop in Mimico a very ansightly corner. Surely some effort could be made to improve the appearâ€" ance of this corner. «ed in Mimico that would mean pracâ€" tically a double track. When Mr. Gooderham saw the plans he stopped the work at once by injunction. Work on the moving of the: tracks is held up. The Highway Commisâ€" sion served an injunction upon the sailway. Plans submitted â€" showed that certain switches were being placâ€" Splendid work has been done by the Highway Commission after Saturday‘s great snow storm. Several gangs of men were set to work to clear away the big drifts and thus open the road for traffic Being the first occasion at came with a vengeance, just to let the: Commission know what it means to keep the roadway open. They had «to contend with one of the greatest ‘falls of snow we have had. The next will be handled with a great deal more «case. ito protect the road. The continual washing will undermine the roadway. This will aoubtless receive due conâ€" «sideration. R Commission â€" are contemplating the erection of some protection for those using the road. A further step must be taken. A breakwater is necessary Some protection must be given to the public using the Highway at Mimâ€" ijc0o Creek. At this point the road makes a turn and runs to the edge ‘of a bank at the water front. The drivers of cars coming around this turn at night have to exercise great «are. When meeting another car at this point the blinding headlights make it very dangerous and there is every chance of them running over the edge of the bank. Last Saturday during the big storm the water dashed ap as high as the road and coated it with ice.. This made it even more «langerous than usual. No doubt the MIMICO A pleasant evening is assured all who can attend the social at Wright Bros. on Thursday evening, December 13th under the auspices of the Smithâ€" field War Auxiliary. Games of variâ€" ous kinds will be provided,. also an impromptu programme. Refreshments ‘served at the close. Everybody come. Anniversary services will be held in the Malton Methodist Church on Sunâ€" day, December 16th, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Rev. Mr. McVitty will have charge of both services. On Tuesday night, Dec, 18th, a concert will be held in the hall. Programme will be renâ€" dered by the children, assisted by Rev. Mr. Petch and the Glee Club of Toronto University. â€" The December meeting of Thistleâ€" town Women‘s Irstitute will be held at the home of Mrs. A. Lund on Wedâ€" nesday, December 19th. A very inâ€" teresting programme is arranged on questions of everyday importance, namely, literature in our homes, one of the most essential requirements of the day, and "duties of the guest tc the hostess." Roll call answered by a conundrum. Owing to the inclemency of the weather, bad roads and noâ€" Woodâ€" bridge cars running, Thistiet: wn schoo! was closed on Monday last. Thistletown hall was crowded last Friday nignt when the young people of the community put on their play, "Tre Village Lawyer." All the parts were well taken by the amateur perâ€" formers, and Hiss Angie Barreft, soâ€" ioist for the evex)ling, captivated the hearts of her â€" listeners. rProceeds amounted to ovez $60.00 and will be devoted to Red Cross comforts The Thistletown Skating Rink will be opened on Saturday night, Dec. 15. Mr. Farr has secured the Woodbridge Band, fifteen pieces, and music will be furnished all through the evening. Ice in first class condition. Come and enjoy the first skate of the season. Admission, skaters 25¢, including War Tax. Spectators 20¢, with 2¢ War Tax extra. Mr. Skelton, exâ€"mayor of Palmerâ€" ston, also gave an address which was well worth hearing. Mr. Skelton is a most entertaining talker. He outlinâ€" ed the policy of the Union party in a very ‘clear and concise manner and one could easily understand he spoke from the heart, for he has two sons at the front, so therefore vitally inâ€" lerested. ‘ Mrs. Morris had a great deal to say on the subject of woman and. her place in this great contest. She paid a great tribute to motherhood. She also stated in part that contrary to the popular opinion that woman wantâ€" ed to leave the four walls of her home and enter politics, it was her experiâ€" ence that woman wanted the vote in order that she could legislate matters in such a manner that all women could remain inside the four walls of her home and not have to turn out and help to make the living as a great many of them do toâ€"day. Taken altoâ€" gether it was a spiendid address. He said Union government is the only, salvation. Captain Tom Wallace, the candiâ€" date for West York, was also presâ€" ent and addressed the audience. He spoke in a very enthusiastic manner with relation to the objects and purâ€" poses of the Union government and arew a very graphic word picture of life in Canada provided union governâ€" ment went down to defeat, predicting the closing of all avenues of, indusâ€" try, thereby stifling the labor market, causing"famine and . disease to run fiee 4 & s s After finishing his talk he was adâ€" dressed by several of the citizens who Rad not been placed on the list and were ineligible to vote. He stated that as much as he regretted the fact, it was still a fact that they had no reâ€" course that would be in any way efâ€" fectual. A union meeting was held at Marâ€" shall‘s hall Monday evening. Billy McLean was present and made the policy and purposes. of the Union government very clear to a very satâ€" isfactory audrence. The concert neited a handsome reâ€" turn amounting to over $240.00. He also said that the wery hearty response to this appeal only went to show that the people of West Toronâ€" to and Mount Dennis even in this time of great national trouble, were still ready with an open heart and open purse when a genuine case of d:stress was brought before them. At the close of the programme the Rev. Mr. Hackett tendered a vote of thanks to the artists, to the Chatsâ€" worth Patriotic Club and its president, Mrs. Wm. W. Whitt, to Mr. Lak for his very valuable assistance, and to the business men of Mount Dennis on behalf of the recipients of the beneâ€" fit and the citizens of Mount Dennis. Mr. Wm. W. Whitt, president of the Chatsworth Patriotic Club, is a wizard at organization, for there was not a hitch every detail fitting into place like bricks in a wall. The benefit concert held last Friâ€" day night, December 7th, at Kodak Hall, under the auspices of the Chatsâ€" worth Patriotic Club and business men of Mount Dennis, was a decided success. The talent was splendid, not one dull number. The audience was a record one, in fact the house was crowded, standing room only. In our last issue we predicted that‘it would be the event of the season, and our prediction was fulfilled to the letter. Mrs. Hines of Orville Ave. has been confined to her home by a severe atâ€" tack of illness. Mr. Symes acted as chairman Alf. Miller, Jane St., returned from the front last week. A movement is on foot in Mount Dennis to form a reception Commitâ€" tee to be an institution until the end of the war to receive the returned men and assist them in securing emâ€" ployment, etc. 5 .The Senior League meeting of the Mount Dennis Methodist Church held Monday evening was very well attendâ€" ed. Fifty members were present and special interest was added to the meetâ€" ing through the talk given by Mr. Davis with respect to the missionary work being carried on in China. He will give another talk on Wednesday evening, accompanying his talk with lantern slides. This will be a very interesting affair.
