: e algke The members of the 500 Red Cross Club of Mimico, New Toronto and â€"south Etobicoke, have been supplied with attractive Red Cross Service Cards, showing that they are contribâ€" uting towards the Red Cross Auxiliary ‘of. Union Jack Chapter, L.O.D.E. On \the other side of the line, amongst our neighbors to the south, it is only in very rare occasions that one can find a house from the palatial resiâ€" dence to the most humble cot withâ€" out their Red Cross Service Card proudly displayed. We who> have gone through four years of indefatigâ€" able war work should be more than proud to show that we have been and are still doing our bit for ourâ€" boys overseas. 3 Albert Brown, of Robert Street, Mimico, was knocked down by a moâ€" tor car at Stop 14, between 6 and 7 o‘clock last evening, sustaining a comâ€" pound fracture in his left leg and a bad shaking up. He was riding his bicycle west down the highway, and was just turning into A. D. Morris‘ grocer store, when a five passenger motor car, driven and owned by J. L. Crooks, 303 Wright avenue, ran inâ€" to him. The young man was thrown several feet in the air and landed heavily on the side of the highway. Two airmen carried him to the veranâ€" d@ah of Mr. Morris‘ store, where they proceeded to administer firet aid wntil Dr. Godfrey arrived. Every resident of this district should be able to show a Red Cross Service Card. It is up to every member of the 500 Club to place their Service Cards in a conspicuous window facing the street, that they may be seen each day by those who either from neglect or lack of that spirit of loyalty and love of fellowman, fail to do their duty. s Sidney Eaton, while mowing hay last Saturday had the misfortune to get his foot caught in the knives of the machine, almost severing it. Dr. Forbes Godfrey was called and attendâ€" €ed the injured man and reports that, although the cut was very~ serious, does not think it will be necessary to amputate. The object in displaying the Service Cards is not so much to advertise that fact that a contributor "lives herein" as to remind those who do not seem to realize that the emblem of mercy is calling for aid, The demands upon the Red Cross are growing more inâ€" sistent as each day goes by and every resident of the community â€" should contribute something towards this the most humane work in the world. Efforts are being made to clean up the streets and roadways by cutâ€" ting the long grass and weeds, but the progress is slow owing to the rank growth. A number of valuable dogs have been poisoned recently in this viciniâ€" ty. A thorough search will be made for the guilty party, who if found will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. This morning the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board heard arguâ€" ments from the Toronto â€" Hamilton Highway Commission, the Toronto and York Radial Railway and the county authorities regarding the reâ€" moval of the tracks at Mimico. After hearing the arguments of all sides, the board gave an order that the rails are to be removed south â€" about four feet six inches towards the conâ€" crete roadway. The apportionment to be made for the cost of removing the tracks is the one suggested by the three parties concerned. The Mimico town council had a conference with Mr. George Gooderâ€" ham, chairman of the Toronto and Hamilton Highway Commission, on Monday evening, when several matâ€" ters of importance to the town were brought up for discussion. The prinâ€" cipal matter was the expropriation of lan%"s’ required for the widening of the highway through Mimico. An open air barber shop operatâ€" ing on Sunday does not look well in a respectable town like Mimico. If our summer visitors have to have a hair cut, they might try to find time during the week to have it done. Mrs. Rf)se, wife of Corporal Harry Rose, has received a telegram from. Ottawa to the effect that her husband has been gassed and is also suffering from shell shock and is now being eared for in a military‘ hospital in France. 5 \â€" The decision that the council would take no action as a result of the reâ€" solution sent them by the I.0.D.E. was sent to that body, together with a copy of the resolution. The answer of the Daughters of the Empire as decided at the executive was sent to the council and states that, "In view _Of the last clause of the resolution so unanimously carried at the annual meeting of the I.O.D.E., I am instructâ€" ed to notify you that the affiliation of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire with the National Council of Women is now severed." This was signed by Gertrude‘ McGaffin, assistâ€" ant national secretary. â€" Notification of this was sent to the National Council of Women, who conâ€" , sidered it at their annual meeting in Brantford, and after a good deal of discussion, a resolution was adopted and given to the press. The purport ‘0f the resolution was that the work of women in internationally organized association, with the exception of the Red Cross, had since the beginning of war been in abeyance. The stateâ€" ment was made that the International Council of Women was in the same position in regard to international afâ€" filiations as other associations, includâ€" ing the Young Men‘s Christian Assoâ€" ciation, Women‘s Christian Temperâ€" ance Union, International Council of Nurses and the International Suffrage Alliance, and that, like these associaâ€" tions, the council would wait until the war was won before pronouncing _its policy. ; It will be recalled that the matter came up at the late annual meeting of the L.O.D.E., when a. resolution was brought in which in substance declarâ€" ed that unless the National Council of Women officially severâ€"connection with Germany, Austria and Bulgaria, that the I.O.D.E. of Canada would sever affiliation with the council. At the last meeting of the L.O.D.E. President Mrs. Gooderham announced that the Imperial Order Daughter of the Empire had decided to sever its affiliation with the National Council of Women., PAGE TWO NO LO.D.E.

Pitcher Orr of the Humber held the New Toronto team down to a couâ€" ple of hits until the sixth inning, and then he went wild and hits were gathâ€" ered freely." Pitcher Janes of New Toâ€" ronto held the visitors down securely throughout the game after they sucâ€" ceeded in passing the uphill score of Humber Bay. A return game will be played at Humber Bay on Wednesday evening, July 17th. «â€"Mr._R.â€"Schafer, the general superâ€" intendent of the Brown‘s Copper & Brass Rolling Mills, met with a painâ€" ful accidents, in which he lost a thumb whilst trying out a punch press. This unfortunate accident was followed by another similar one, when Mr. Levi Duncan, who is employed by the same firm as a millwright, also had a thumb. taken off. The superâ€" intendent was able to be around the plant again the following day. Mr. E. Paylor, foreman steamfitter, had his hand injured on Saturday. Mike Kendora, a Polish resident of New Toronto, got in wrong when he took an early morning trip to Mimico Station on Tuesday, to claim a barrel labelled sauerkraut. Constable Myers had his eye on the barrel also, and did not appear to like the idea of a barrel with a German label on it comâ€" ing into such a patriotic town as Mimâ€" ico, and resolved to investigate. Mike decided he didn‘t want the barrel so much after all and made a hurried exit, but Myers says, Not so, my good fellow, and promptly set off after Mike, finally landing him and bringâ€" ing him up to open the barrel. The opening revealed a covering of sauerâ€" kraut on the top of about nine gallons of whiskey. Next scene in this little drama opens at Magistrate Brunton‘s Court in the city and Mike has the pleasing option of $200 and costs® or three months in gaol handed out to him.s~ f The members of the West Point I. O. 0. F. were entertained by members of Prospect Lodge at the "Odd Fellows‘ Temple on Wednesday evenning, when the installation of Officers took place. An enjoyable time was spent. "The Building Byâ€"law. will‘ probably be tested in the near future, on acâ€" count of an alleged infraction by the erection of a frame dwelling in an area which, according to the byâ€"law, only solid brick or brick clad houses are supposed to be built. Councillor Dyer has the contract and is a member of the Building Committee, and, acâ€" cording to the opinion of Reeve Loveâ€" joy, if Councillor Dyer is satisfied there is no infraction of the byâ€"law, that should be sufficient. Some resiâ€" dents, however, hold a different view, and will certainly protest vigorously. The long contested suit of the New Toronto Board of Trade against the Corporation of the Village of New Toi- ronto regarding the moving of the street railway tracks and the payment of the cost of removing same, came to an‘end on Thursday, when a decision was rendered against the Board of Trade. The village was upheld in view of the matter, and now the memâ€" bers of the Board of Trade will have the question of law costs to think about. Who isygoing to have to proâ€" duce the money? Since the entering of the action last winter, the Board of Trade has lost several members and this blow from the Judge will probabâ€" ly be the deathâ€"blow of the associaâ€" tion. Chief Justice Falconbridge has givâ€" en judgment dismissing the. action brought by the New Toronto Board of, Trade against the village corporaâ€" tion, the Toronto and Hamilton Highâ€" way Commission and the Toronto and York Radial Railway.. The action was to prevent the removal of the railway track from its present position toâ€" wards the permanent pavement on the Lake Shore Road. The estimated cost of $26,000, and the Board of Trade was of the opinion that this should be borne entirely by the railâ€" way. The joint meeting of the Mimico and New Toronto Councils, which was to have been held on Friday evening, has been postponed on account of the absence of Reeve Lovejoy, who is in New York. In a letter written to his parents, Pte. J. Walton of New Toronto pays a splendid tribute to the work of the Â¥. M._C. A. in France. Coming as it does at this time, entirely unsolicited, it shows that the Y. M. C. A. is unâ€" doubtedly doing a great work over there, and in his own words, Pte. Walâ€" ton says no better treatment could be given to the men as they come out of the trenches or on their way in, than | is given by the Y. M. C. A. Pte. Walâ€" ton has been in France since 1915 and has been through many hard batâ€" tles and up to the time of writing has come through unharmed.

I did not. I might say I have had a measure of success in that the Premier, Sir Wm. Hearst, practically forced the Board of Governors of the University of Toronto to make the German _ lanâ€" guage optional iqstead of compulsory in the moderns course, for why should any boy or girl, suffering through the ravages of the Hun, be forced to study this language, which is guttural, archaic in text, and diffiâ€" cult to learn? I should like _ to ask any man who thinks the, German language should be taught, what modern Germany has given the world? Not a poem, not a single book of high and prominent inspiraâ€" tion, not a painting, not a statue, not a musician to rank with the German masters who wrote before the poison of Prussianism blighted the soul of the German people. In the last general election Gerâ€" man communities "used the secrecy of the ballot box to show that they were still German." He told. how the little village of St. Jacobs, in the riding of Haldimand, in 1911, gaveâ€" Frank Lalor 105 majority, but last year, because he was the Unionâ€" ist candidate, he got only five votes. In the village of Heidelburg, North Waterloo, six miles from Kitchener, old men, middle aged men, young men and boys, marched up and down the street while the Unionist meeting was going on, singing the national songs of Germany.â€" This is a British country fighting for the freedom of the world, and on election night, . in the city of Kitchener, returned solâ€" diers in the street were hissed and spat upon by voters of German descent. The highest ideal of the loyal Orangeman should be to uphold Briâ€" tish institutions. ‘"Iâ€"do not believe a single foreign newspaper should be published in Canada. Do you realâ€" ize that at the present time that there areâ€" seven newspapers pubâ€" lished in Ontario in the German lanâ€" guage, two of these in the city of Kitchener?" he asked. "Ontario has been the melting pot for the various peoples coming from continental Europe, and to make good Canadian citizens of these people all foreign communities should be broken up. We should have all English newspapers, with English ideals of democracy and freedom."
