William Chowns, had paid the supreme, sacrifice durâ€" ing the latter part of the struggle for freedom. He was 29 years of age and before enlisting was employed by the Grenadier Ice Company. A widowed mother and three sons survive. Anâ€" other brother, Pte. Frank, a member of the Imperial Army, was killed durâ€" ing the first year of the war. â€" LONG BRANCH In the coming school elections it is Mr. Horner‘s turn to come before the people for reâ€"election as school trusâ€" tee. It is felt that the northern seeâ€" tion should have a representative on the board, and Mr. Horner is appealâ€" ing to the ratepayers for their supâ€" port. Recently he appealed to the Council to have the roadway repaired and. he has always been willing to give on his services in securing imâ€" provements that lay in his pOwgr as a representative of the people to secure. With . the changing of the tracks nearing‘ completion, the great question of the 20 foot strip on the north side should now be settled. In the present state this is holding up the developâ€" ment of the north side of the street. von‘t delay. Look into the matter at once. It may cost a lot of money to take this over, but history Sshows that it would be a good move.. Most places have made a mistake by permitting narrow roads. ¢ > sible to have the cinders on the job, so that this would not occur? Is it not possible to arrange to have crossâ€" ings made for the people to pass over the mud without spoiling their shoes and tracking the mud all over. Some one is responsible for this condition, and it is up to the council to find out who it is and have it fixed up at once. Pass a motion and rescind the next may seem funny business. .Still this is what occurred. It is always a good thing for a person to know when he is wrong and say so. It is also a great cning for a man to stand by his opinâ€" ion. Yet the council have made the right move in their purchase of the fire truck. It costs no more and will provide a better article. The delivery will be made to Woodstock toâ€"morrow and the truck will be back in 30 days. Thus at last the question of fire proâ€" tection is solved for a time. MIMICO It is starting in early this year. Power off is the old ery in the winter months, but at this time of the year it is a little early to start it. Many people were forced to take all kinds of conveyances in order to reach their work.. The street cars were out of commission. This is liable to happen in any well regulated company, but it is usually repaired in short order by well organized companies. . This should be a lesson to the Radial Comâ€" pany to at once reorganize their forces so that they may be able to take care of their equipment better than they did last winter. Who is responsible for the placing of all the loose clay on the highway ? ;ll‘his is certainly a great detriment to all the homes and stores on the highâ€" Way. . Just note the mud that is trackâ€" éd/‘into their places. Is it not posâ€" Are there any arrangements being made to take care of the men as they return home from the front? Now is the time to get busy. There is a big job ahead of all. What about election talk? Who is in thé field for the council and the school board? This is the time for you‘to make your great kick if you have not been suited. On the other hand, this is the time to register your approval of the present officials who are in power. Give it a little thought. What your duty is in these matters is seen on your tax bills. You are part of the municipality and have to pay taxes. Night school class work is still progngsfiiqg favorably. Each week sees greater interest taken by the pupils in their work. If you want to become one of the leaders in life, now is your opportunity to make good. Canada will need men who can command. You will be better fitted if you have masâ€" tered some of the details of education. There are some subjects that will inâ€" terest you. Look them up. _ _ Well, is it to be or not? For a long time there has been a feeling that the status of this village should be raised to that of a town. As there has been a wonderful growth here in the inâ€" dustrial activities and in the populaâ€" tion of the . village, it was felt that it should have the | same power as a town.~\ This would give more power in many directions and should be carâ€" ried out at once. ‘It will pass the vote if taken hold of at once.â€" Read the wyâ€"iaw over. 1t is in this paper. ; Nomination day is set for the 23rd\ of December.

One thing is to be hoped, that whatâ€" ever the issues, unity and coâ€"operation. will be the two necessary points for the development of the village. We nave the greatest possibilities in this place.. Our industrial life is here. It needs homes to bring the people, and these will be forthcoming.. It needs executive apility to administer affairs and there are plenty of good men in the municipality. Bring them into action and make the place a town of importance.

This is the regular affair, but never has there been such a large and notable gatherâ€" ing held.. Wardens come and wardens go, but allâ€" seem bent upon paying high tribute to our fellow citizen and warden of this the greatest county in Canada toâ€"day, Thos. Griffith. It was indeed a tribute to have so many there to pay him honor, but it was a greater tribute as each speaker told of the many acts that had been acâ€" complished under the present warâ€" den‘s leadership. His ability does not lie in great oratory, though he can express himself in a_most creditable manner. | His power is in the splendid leadership he exerts over those with whom. he is thrown in contact. All pointed out what this county has acâ€" complished during the great war, and all felt proud that they had assisted in the work. : & W. N.

It séems very easy, but it requires great executive ability to pull everything off in order. This was done by the committee, Reeve J. M. Gardhouse, and Exâ€"Wardens Cornell and Keith. These men. put their energy into the affair,. The dinner was well selected, the program well chosen, and the musical part was well taken care of. Each little detail was anticipated and a most successful evening carried out. Reeve J. G. Cornell of Scarboro, chairman of the evening, proposed the toast of "The King." Later that of "The Army and Navy,‘" proposed by Major Brunton, was responded. to by Rev. Captain McGonigle of Newmarâ€" ket, and Captain Wallace, M.P., West York. A W.very interesting meeting was held under the direction of the Uâ€"Goâ€" Iâ€"Go Society on Monday night. The subject of~ the â€" evening is a debate, "Resolved that the Automobile is more of a Necessity than a|Luxury." Miss Rowntree and Mr.‘Usher will take the affirmative and Miss Foster and W. A. Riley looking after the negative. The points brought out on both sides were! so conclusive that it was but a matâ€" terâ€"of public opinion which side the auto was placed upon, that the judges gave the decision as a draw, neither side being the winner. Next Monday will be Missionary Night, Mrs. Rownâ€" tree in charge. Acton has pansies in full bloom. Venturesome youths in Acton have been out skating on the ponds. $ "Our Guest," proposed by Reeve Spaulding of Whitchurch and Reeve Len Wallace of Woodbridge, was acâ€" companied by the gift of a handsome walkingâ€"stick to the warden.
