A large number gathered in the old school, Lambton Mills, last Friday night in appreciation of the efforts of the WiliImg Works to provide a musical evening. Mr. LleW. Rees oc- cupied the chair and extended a cor- dial welcome to all. The visiting friends contributing to the program rendered several selections to the de- light of everyone present. The home talent deserve thanks for the numbers given and the 1society have every rea- son to congratulate themselves upon the success of the entertainment. Lenten séirviees'wi11 be c'ohducted by Rev. C. W. Holdsworth in the dif- ferent homes: Tuesday night in Is- lington and Wednesday night at Lambton. Anniversary services held in the Is- Iington Methodist Church last Sun- day were well attended at both ser- vices. Two very inspiring addresses were delivered by Rev. George Rob- inson of Toronto And Rev. W. A. Rod- well of Weston. The concert given on Tuesday under, the direction of the Faculty of West Toronto College of Music was one'of exceptionally high class selections and much appreciated by all present. At the meeting held last Wednes- day with Mr. Gooderham and the Etobicoke council no progress was made. Mr. Montgomery, who had certain recommendations to make re the highway on the Lake Shore, did not receive a very good reception. All items seemed to displease the high- way commission. All came away feel- ing that little redress is in sight tor the ratepayers in this section. Monday night, February 18th, will be devotional night at the A, t P. A. meeting. On Sunday night, February 17th, Rev. H. L. Partridge will continue the review of the “Principal Mission Fields of the World." China is the subject for this week's discourse. During Saturday's sleet storm all telephone wires between Dixie and Is- lington were laid low. The heavy casing of ice on the wires caused them to break away from the poles. Evan's Ave. is also badly affected. The Islington branch of the Wom- en’s Institute are entertaining the Lambton friends to a Valentine social at the home of Mrs. B. Johnston on Thursday night, February 14th. An interesting program in keeping with the honored saint Cupid is arranged for. The members and friends of both societies are cordially invited to come and enjoy the evening.

From a hovel in the rear of more pretentious buildings comes a ghastly tale, one that in this fair Province of ours seems almost incredible; yet, to those who know the ravages of con- sumption, it is but a typical case. The city of Toronto might be inju- dicial to take over the whole line as a civic proposition. It is a public utili- ty and, should be governed by the public who 'Use it daily. The Toronto, Niagara and Western Radial are making an effort to get the support of Etobicoke and York Township and the City of Toronto to bring their railway line through these municipalities. A meeting to discuss the details will be held in the council chamber, city hall, on Friday. Re- presentatives from these corporations will be present. If you have any ob- jections, file them at' once. There is some talk of a scheduled jitney service over the highway when the spring comes, but the ratepayers feel that unless the Highway Commis- sion are prepared to waive the pro- posed licensing of public utility ve- hicles on the road, there is small hope of a good service. Otherwise they would welcome the jitney. Long Branch is ordinarily) short half hour run from Sunnyside. This winter it has been"iifrserable to take this short run. First you wait for slow connection .at Sunnyside. Then you board a car that is only tit for the car barns. It crawls along at a slow pace. After waiting at the several switches and nearly frozen you ar- rive home tired out after a, day's work. This winter's snow has been very hard on The company and their tracks. Yet in view of this, the company could easily have a better Service maintain- ed. Other lines carry on under the same conditions on ”Scheduled time. Some strong representation should wait upon the company and force them to give good service. Now is the time to prepare if you want to secure some changes in the legislation re the Toronto and Hamil- ton Highway. During the present ses- sion this will come up for revision. Will you be ready with your requests? Will you all be united on what you want? These are items that you must look forward to. Dont"put it off. Get your committee together and instruct them what they are to do. As usual the unsatisfactory service of the Toronto and York Radial Com- pany was roundly discussed, several of the ratepayers complaining of the time it took to get home in the evening. One man stated that he was two hours getting home on Thursday evening and one hour and three-quarters on Friday night. It was too bad that the proposed rink in the school grounds did not materialize this year. After the plan was first proposed great enthusiasm was shown. This soon died out when it was realized that it meant work. As a resultthe rink has not been operated. No doubt better luck will occur next year. Long Branch ratepayers had a very quiet session at their February meet- ing, and only about nine members were present. A discussion came up re the closing of the school to save fuel, but a member ot the board stated that it was necessary to keep some heat in the building to prevent damage from frost; that it only took a little' bit more to make it warm enough for the children and ~that fuel was saved in the homes if the children were at school. It was decided to continue classes the same as New Toronto and Mimico. of-the Islington League on Monday night, Owing to the illness of one of the members, the quartette were un- able to sing. Mr. A. J. Johnston gave a solo, which was appreciated by all. Mr. Stewart's little daughter Mar- jorie, was operated on on Wednesday tor appendicitis. Her condition is as well as can be expected. t Family Almost Wiped Out By Consumption. Mr. Frank Lockwood is still confin- ed to his house. Progress is very slow. No doubt with the brightening up of the weather conditions he will be once more out and around again. On account of the weather condi- tion on Tuesday night the concert to have been held in the Methodist Church was postponed. It will take place on Tuesday evening, February 19th. A big attendance is looked tor. FIVE. FUNERALS IN THREE YEARS LONG BRANCH FTOB] COKE At the last regular meeting held at Mrs. Wright's, three quilts were fin- ished for the Belgians and on Mon- day last a bale containing quilts and other articles of comfort was sent in to headquarters for this cause. Mr. J. M. Gardhpuse was elected president of the Canadian Pony So- ciety, direetor"ot the Canadian Hack- ney Society, director of the Canadian Shire Horse Society, life member of the Dominion Shorthorn Breeders' As- sociation, a delegate to the Canadian National Exhibition and Provincial Winter Fair, also a delegate to the Record Board, Ottawa. This shows the'high esteem in which our worthy reeve is heldsby the live stock men. _ Coroner Dr. George Graham con- eluded the inquest last night concern- ing the death ot the three Belleville trainmen who were burned at Mimico on the morning of January 12th, when two freight trains collided. The in- quest was adjourned previously in order that the jury might get further information regarding the block sys- tem as applied to freight trains. The Toronto dispatched and the Mimico and Sunnyside operators gave evi- dence,1ast night to the effect that at the Toronto terminals the block sys- tem only applied to passenger trains, and freight trains had to look out for one anoiher. l‘he verdict of the jury was that death in all three cases was due io negligence on the part of the men who lost their lives. _ The regular meeting of the Smith- field War Auxiliary wiWbe held at the home ot Mrs. Garfield Ella on Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 19. Mr. Earl Rabjohn had his ankle broken on Saturday last at the High Park slides. He will be laid up tor some little time, but everything is mending nicely. He is employed by the Warner Bros. The customers are anxious for a speedy return of Earl, whose cheerfulness and prompt at- tention have been much appreciated. The residents of Mimico in the vi- cinity of the Lake Shore Road and Stop 12 are having considerable dif- ficulty with their water supply. The old main used has been frozen and is burst. The highway took all the earth covering nearly off this main, then the railway dug a big trench. Is it any wonder it would freezer. The town and residents are put to the in- convenience of having no water be- cause of these people's work. Mr. Lewes is doing all that is in his pow- er to have the work rushed so as to give the people service. It is nearly time that the officials of the Toronto and York Radial Line and their employees paid a little at- tention to the citizens who use their cars along the Lake Shore Road. Con- ditions are booming worse. Each day shows up some new phase of their in- dependence. The latest occurred on Thursday night at stop 14, Superior Ave., at the 7.20 car and the 7.50 car. About tea persons were waiting to board the first car at this stop. They had already waited a long time and were chilled. The car came sailing down at 25 miles an hour. It did not stop but ran right through. On in- quiry at the office over the phone as to why it did not stop, the answer was that that car was going to the barns. An investigation showed that that car took its passengers to Sun- nyside. Is it any wonder accidents occur. Again when the next car came along half an hour afterwards there were nearly 20 people waiting. About half were on when the motorman started the car. A young girl slip- ped under the step. It was only the quick action of some of the men that saved the situation. They pulled' the trolley pole off and thus saved an ac- cident. We are informed that this is a usual occurrence to run past stops or leave some behind. The council, ratepayers and boards of trade on the Lake Shore should take concentrated action against this company. Every public body should unite and demand more consideration than they are at present given. It can be done if you get together. No cars should run through New Toronto or Mimico at 25 miles an hour. No motorman should start his car till every passen- ger is aboard. This matter must be adjusted. The Jews and foreigners who con- tinually pass up and down the Lake Shore are no doubt responsible tor this work. It has been going on along the Dundas Road, but was stopped. A close watch should he kept upon these men. Lake Shore Road residents have been missing chickens for some time past, and it is believed that the thief drives around with a horse and sleigh. Only one "tyr two are missing from a coop at a time, but thieving has been going on for C quite a while, and people at New Toronto, Mimico and the Humber have com- plained to Constable Simpson. All industries and stores were clos- ed up tight on the heatless days. Mr. Telfer, the town clerk and treas- ure?, has been confined to the house with an attack of bronchitis for the past week. He is on the mend and will be around again in a. few days. Miss Tinny Crewe spent the week end visiting in Guelph. On Thursday evening St. John's Lodge, A.F. and A.M., will pay a fra- tetinal visit to the members of Con. naught Lodge, Mimico. SMITHFI'ELD MIMICO ET Several of the new members of West Point Odd Fellows' Lodge jour- neyed to Toronto on Thursday-sight-s They were given a further insight in- to the mysteries of Oddfellowship and true brotherly love. This lodge is very progressive .under its new officers. Fire of unknown origin started in the enamel room of the Canada Cycle & Motor Factory about 8.30 Fm. Tues- day. An alarm was sent) in and one, three and four divisions of the Wes- ton Fire Brigade responded and were soon on the scene. The factory spriniir ling system, operating automatically, put large quantities of water overlhe whole surface, and with the prompt assistance of the firemen and their hose the fee was soon under control. On account ot the lights going out everyone was seriously handicapped, also the firemen were inconvenienced by the continuance of the water from the sprinklers, and not knowing the layout ot the plant or where the shut off of the system was placed. A larger' quantity ot water than was necessary was thereby put into the building/The quick action of this system no doubt was a great factor in the saviptof the building, keeping the fire ddirrt till other assistance arrived. Theuirt brigade used 540 feet of their oWn hose and some 800 feet of the com- pany's hose. Too much credit can- not be given the town brigade on their prompt and efficient aid rendered at a time like this. \Vhere are the firemen of New TD.. ronto? It takes time but work is be- ing done. An organization will-,' be formed at once. The need of such is felt by all the citizens. A fire can be easily and quickly fought if you have a set of men trained to do the work. Each man becomes acquaint- ed with his fob and the details; He knows the equipment and how it is to be used. He knows each part and where it belongs. He learns where the hydrants are and how they are oper- ated. All this detail is essential at the time when excitement runs high. Five minutes delay means a lot to the headway a tire can gain. No doubt special efforts will be put forth to organize at once. :. 'str-i-tses-ces: 'e/Cro-ttire-xy-ir-e-er' 'tist, C "a' r ' 'd p,N T. c" b. - (e' 3; "/2 ' . . _ _ 'l , . .
