_eiiitljiq $3 ble: 2222 Jiiliil, (id v If, i"it The vote was taken yea and nay, as follows: Yea, Councillor Elana and /Councijior Harlock. Nay, Reeve Bry- er, Councillor Johnson and the May- or. Amendment defeated. , The Mayor put first. The resolution was then put and carried by the year of the Mayor, Reeve Bryer and Councillor John- Alon against the nays of Councillor Harloek and Councillor Eland. The meeting then adjourned. _The action of the members of the town Council in rescinding at a spe- oial meeting the resolution passed at _ e regular meeting ot the Council on onday, November 25, and substitut- "i, tr, another resolution therefor, sets back the possibility of Mimico POS- sessing a fire engine at least one month and probably more. "s,': The American La France Co. Were prepared to deliver the engine in 30 days, whereas the representative of the Chevrolet required at least ten days in which to deliver the truck to Woodstock, to' the B. S. Bickle cd., and theR. S. Bickle Co. require from 3.0 to 4rdays to equip the truck and deliver at Mimico. This means that it will be near the end ot January and probably into February before the engine arrives, and in tht meantime in the case ot fires occisrrirur,' 800 ft. of tire hose will be lying useless. An amendment was moved by Councillor Elana, seconded by Coun- cillor Hemlock, that the resolution re purchasing tire equipment from the American La France Co. passed on Novemtoer,25 be Irphtyrea to and the contract with the Ahrdrican La France Co. be carried out. 1ittiii, action taken also involves an expenditure of $125 more than the or- iginal resolution called for in the ijurchasing of the American La France engine, and it also means that the Mimico council has gone back on its given word and possible a charge of unfair dealing. _ The honor of the Council should be as jealously guarded as the honor ot individuals. _ , ~“It was evident that as the discus- gigg proceeded that a rescinding ot the resolution ot the previous meet- ing would take place, and after two or three hours had elapsed, Reeve Bryermoved a resolution to the effect that the resolution passed on Monday ejrenins, authorizing the purchasing of a chemical fire engine from the American La France Co. be rescinded, and that the Corporation of Mimico purchase a, Chevrolet truck through Mr. Lamphier at the price of $1675, and that the truck purchased be sent to Woodstock to be equipped by the BickIe Company with chemical fire engine, etc., according to specifica- tions submitted in May, 1918, at the price bt $1050, making a total of $2725. . , l The resolution was moved by Coun- cillor Johnson. The regular meeting of the Elp- worth League was held in the Meth- odist church on Monday evening. Mr. S. Batstone occupied the chair and Mr. Wm. Le Drew of Toronto was the principal speaker, and gave a very in- teresting and instructive address on “Seventeen Years' Service for the Lord.” The'address was much appre- ciated and Mr. Le Drew added to the pleasure of the listeners by singing a solo. There was a.' good attendance. The young Salvationists of Mimico are enthusiastically rehearsing for their annual Christmas entertain» ment. Capt. McLean, who is at pres- ent in London engaged in the million dollar drive campaign, expects to be with the Mimico Corps by Christmas. The street railway company came in top a lot of adverse criticism on Fri- day and Saturday by the crowds who W'é're delayed on their way home from vibrk and some who were on their wiiy to work. "Power oft" was all the e,oirsotation they got when asking why. PAGE FOUR The discussion then became general, during which the representatives of the Bickle Co. and Chevrolet gave a repetition of what their had given at previous meetings. A special meeting of the town coun- cil was called by the Mayor and held in the Clerk's office on Thursday ev- ening, November 28th. The Mayor, in opening the meeting, stated that he was not satisfied with the action taken at Monday evenirur's aneeting with regard to the purchas- ing, ot an American La France chem- ical fire engine, and had called this meeting to reconsider the whole situ- ation. ' Miss Irene Elgnd, daughter of Mrs. M. Eland of superior Avenue, enter- tained a' number of friends and rela., trlrsr km Saturday evening in honor or her twenty-first birthday. The young lady wrrs the recipient of many beautiful and valuable presents, and th‘é' congratulations of her friends. A pleasant evening was spent. The members present were Reeve “Bryan Councillors Johnson, Harlock ami Eland. _ The, Mayor then asked Mr. King of the Bickle Co., Woodstock, and Mr. Lamphier, a representative of the Chevrolet Co., to address the Coun- cil. Councillor Elana protested that the matter was closed and that the reso- lution passed on Monday was passed in open meeting by a majority, and that he saw “no reason whatever for calling Mr. King from Woodstock or, :e-opening the matter at all. t ‘The Mayor said in reply that he was not satisfied with the American Lgs- Francq equipment and wou.ld abso- lute‘ly refuse to sign any agreement or contract with them. The home ot Mr, and Mrs. C. Fer- rier, Main Street, Mimico, was the scene of a very pretty wedding on Fri- day at 7 p.m., November 29th, when Eulilie Stuart, daughter of the late Robert Rutherford of Glasgow, Scot- land, was united 'in marriage to Cap- tain Gordon John C. Ferrier, R.A.M. c." The bride, who was dressed in white crepe de chene with a bridal veil fastened with orange blossoms and carried a bouquet of white car- nations, was given away by her bro- ther-in-law, Mr. George Nicol. The ceremony was performed by Rev. G. J. MaeKay of Mimico Presbyterian Church and was assisted by Rev. J. Morgan, Mimico Methodist church. The bridesmaid was Miss Irene Fer-. rier, sister of the groom, her bouquet being pink carnations. The grooms- man was Lt. Manley Chisohlm, pri- vate secretary to General Mewburne. Miss A. I, Ferrier played the wedding march. The groom's gift to the bride was a beautiful pearl and amethyst pendant and to the bridesmaid a pearl ring. Supper was served in the home and immediately after the bride and groom left amidst well wishes and confetti. Capt.

Mr. Paul, who was expected to preach, but was unable to be present.) The pastor took for his text Jeremiah 1:7, "Say not, I am a, child." He spoke of the possibilities that lay dormant in the; prophet and also in the people of to, 1 day, and how these possibilities were' brought out in usefulness and activi- I ty, first by responsibility being thrust) upon us, second by love of God and humanity, and third by illumination, The enlightment orthe Holy Spirit working upon- the hearts and minds enabling us to see the needs of others brought out, the possibilities that were in each.

How many had been able to go to that refuge and receive the help that they need- ed to bear up under the sorrows that had come and to find it just what the Psalmist found it to be, a refuge and help in every time ot' trouble." The sermon was one that was much ap- preciated and one of comfort and help to many of his hearers.
