Once again thanking you, I remain Yours truly, "Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said, 'This is my own, my native land.' " Thousands upon thousands of men hare met untimely deaths during the past four years; never has the love ot home and country called tor such a saeritie, Patriotism does not begin nor end with war. We cannot all serve on the battlefield-but we can be as truly patriotic in looking after the welfare of our countrymen here at home. There is an enemy in our midst-- consumption. Lurking in unsuspect- ed places, it seeks but a foothold to drag its victims down to death. Surely it is a true test ot love of country to devote our energies and our means towards exterminating such a toe. . We have Just learned of a family, once quite comfortable, now in the grip of poverty and misery. The father developed consumption; after a, lingering illness that exhausted their savings, he died, leaving the mother and four little Ones penniless --WorBe still, all the children have contracted the same disease.

Dear friends I can assure y0u it was very much appreciated. I wish you and your so- ciety every success. I also received one a short time back, but am not quite sure whether I acknowledged it or not, but it is one parcel that I shall always remember receiving, as it was handed to me about one hour before the big' drive started around Amiens, and there is nothing like a piece of good cake and a good cigarette to fire a barrage on.

Frank McCullough, who is in To- ronto Jail, charged with the murder of Detective Frank Williams, is sus- pected of being concerned in the re- cent robbery at the barber shop of Mr. Sam. Robinson, when'gooas to the value of over $800 were lifted. It is further reported that a local res- ident is also implicated, and Constable Myers is following up what is re- garded as a certain clue. l The Horticultural Society, which is being promoted in New Toronto by Mr. Mole, the public school principal, and Mr. Charles Barrett, seems to be progressing favorably according to re- cent adeounts. The two gentlemen named are working enthusiastically on the project and are deserving ot much credit. Mr. F. Paylor moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Brown, which was heartily endorsed. Mr. Harcourt, at, ter asking each person present it they had anything to add to what had al- ready been contributed, declared the meeting adjourned. . The meetings hereafter will be held on the second and fourth Friday of each month. Previous to the opening of the business meeting an excellent supper was served, and which was very gen- erously provided by the president ot the company, Mr. J. F: Brown. A general, discussion followed upon various phases of the couneil's useful, ness. Mr. Alex. Lentz afterwards spoke, and in a few well pointed sen- tences showed where the scheme could be worked to the muttual adn vantage ot the employer and employ- ee. Mr, Lentz’s remarks were receiv- ed with applause. In a tew words the chairman out- lined the object of the proposed Coun- cil as submitted ’by Mr. Gordon, and l the idea meeting with the approval of the men present, namely the welfare 'ot the work people and the co-opera- tion of the many varied branches ot the works, a plan which enables the employees to make any suggestions that might lead to the bettering ot VVOi'Killg conditions or add to the et- fiCIency and earning capacities, re- sulting in greater production, an exe- cutive was formed consisting of seven members.

Bell of Mil- ton has been cured of Ioc‘kjaw by Dr. Jos Telter. _ _ Little Mary Creighton gave l birth- day party to "about fifteen of her lit- tle playmates last Thursday afternoon. The time passed plrsasaa1tly in games ot various kinds, and during the ati, ternoon the children were delighted to see an old gentleman coming in who on account of grey locks and white board they thought must be Santa Claus, ind all rushed to greet him as such. He informed them that Santa was not due yet for another months, but that he had left his home up in the north and would arrive with his usual supply ot toys and good things at the right time. Supper time brought its usual complement of goodies, and each child enjoyed the cake, which made such a. pretty Cen-' tre piece for the table, but when cut found it tasted even better than it looked. Amid their enjoyment the spirit of the good Samaritan was not forgotten, and the little tots contrib- uted of their dimes to the amount of $3.00,whioh was handed over to Hurri, bervale Red Cross Society to be used in relieving the suffering of some boy aeross the water. We are pleased to report that Mr. Eward Seely, who has been seriously ill, is recovering, and we trust will soon be out again: The Ladies' Aid ot" rHumbervale church are holding a social at the home of Mrs. Wm. Alley; on Wednes- day afternoon, December 4th, at three p'cloek. A ten cent tea, will be serv- ed in aid ot Red Cross funds. Visitors are cordially welcome. Come and bring your friends with you. Last night the new canteen build- ing at the cadet wing, R.A.F., Long Branch, was opened. The room, which will serve as assembly-room; theatre, and canteen, is centrally situated in the camp, and is approxi- mately, 50 ft. x .150 ft.,, and the counter, which will be installed shortly, will extend, along one side, and the rest of the room will be used for purposes of recreation. Cadets McGregor, Lovely, Myres, Ball, Beauchamp-Hobbs, Paton, Penn, and Miss Stanhope were responsible for last night's clever entertainment of songs, stories and a bright sketch entitled "Who's a Coward ?" At the close, Major Hodson, officer com- manding, made a brief speech, in which he discouraged any belief ot early demobilization, stating that nothing authentic had been received from headquarters, and the order was to carry on as usual. ‘ Hostess House Attractive After the concert a number of cadets and friends who had come, out from the city for the affair, en- joyed an impromptu dance and sup- per at the new cosy and attractive hostess house which the Y.W.C.A. have built on the grounds facing the highway. l church 'otfsunday' lasf, to the appeals of the municipalities to order the tracks moved, favored the radial company, and in connection \with the liability of the tracks hot conforming with the new highway,this was a matter for the commission to take care of, which, would eventually revert back on the municipalities as a local improvement. Rev. Mr. Taye rrreaeiled a very in- teresting Summon to _ey well filled It would appear that the deal which certain ratepayers held up by injunction last fall, and which they finally lost, will mean money out of pocket to New Toronto, as tho cost of doing the work now has increased over last years' estimate. "The price of tickets alone has in- creased 3(Y per cent., and notwith- standing other increases in the cost of operation, we have maintained a rate below what we are entitled to charge," said Mr. Wilson. The Track Moving Mix-Up In regard to the 25 per cent. of the cost of the track-moving and road-grading proposition between the radial company, the Tpninto-Hamil- ton Highway C6mmission, and New Toronto and Mimico, being shoulder- ed by the radial company. Mr. Wil- son stated it was a splendid deal for the municipalities concerned, as the actual amount liable to the company would be considerably lower than 25 per cent. ot the entire cost. The Rail- way and Municipal Board, in answer The present schedule is as follows: Transients are charged 15 cents re- turn to Long Branch, but five tickets for a quarter are sold to people living at the Branch. New Toronto and Mimico have a seven-for-a-quarter rate, while eight tickets are sold to Humber residents. Where Township Failed , When the. first term of the tran- ‘chise with Etobicoke _township ex- pired, the Radial Company appointed its arbitrator, which the township acknowledged, and asked for a little time to make an appointment before going on with the arbitration. As yet no sittings have been held, and it is the opinion ot the general man- ager that this matter may be taken up by municipalities concerned any time they so desire. At the time of the original franchise only the Town- ship Council were concerned, as Mim- ico was only a police village, and New Toronto not incorporated. Fares Are Below Agreement T The section ot the agreement re- garding fares reads: "No higher fare than fifteen cents shall be charged for the conveyance of each lyaSSer1- ger the full distance (then only to Long Branch) one way on the line in the limits described therein." Municipalities en route along the Lake Shore Road are waking up to the fact that they are in the neck of a bottle, and if nothing is done. to improve the service over the section ot the road controlled by the city of Toronto, there is very little hope of any time-saving scheme. The, radial manager offered the suggestion that the City of Toronto double-track to Keele Street, and in this way avoid congestion at Sunnyside by cars passing west of the bridge. Frequently tour or five minutes is wasted at this point during rush hours waiting for tour cars to line up, load, and un- load. “We have no agreement to give ser- vice between Sunnyside and the Humber, and could cease operations to-morrow," said the general man- ager of the Toronto and York Radial Company, yesterday.
