Patriotism does not begin nor end with war. We cannot all serve on the, battlefieldâ€"but we can be as truly patriotic in looking after the welfare of our countrymen, here at home.~ i & ‘There is an enemy in‘ our midstâ€" consumption. Lurking in unsuspectâ€" ed places, it seeks but a foothold to drag its victims â€" down to death. Surely it is a true test of love of country to devote our energies and dur means towards exterminating such a foe. 3 TORONTO GORE wWEST YORKS NEWSY WEEKLY The regular meeting of Weston Council was held on Monday night, all the members present except Councilâ€" lor Sainsbury. There was a heap of correspondence and reports which took a long time to read. Mr. E. F. Irwin and Rev. Hughesâ€"Jones asked the council to endorse their plan of preparing suitable honor rolls for the town and a biography of each boy who enlisted from’We’s‘ton. Their plan is to publish.copies of these biographies and place one in the town hall, one in the library. Alsothey will ‘give each boy one copy. To do this there would be some expenge. They thought the council could set aside a sum for this purpose and place a limit on their expenditures. This was done. The council was well pleased with the plans and passed a resolution placing the limit for the total cost at $500. Mr. McKitterick, tax collector, reâ€" ported that up to, date 85 per cent. of: the taxes for the year 1918 had been paid. This he said was due to the splendid response of the ratepayâ€" ets. He‘drew attention to the fact that there are 13 persons in ward 1, 6 persons in ward 2, 10 persons in ward 3,\and"12 in ward 4, who are living in their own houses and have not paid their taxes. He wanted inâ€" structions on how to act, as some Of, these persons did /not think that any action would be taken against them. The council instructed the collector to put the law into force at onge if the taxes are not paid. 1 Mr. Calhoun was present on behalf of the band. . He asked that an effort be made to have ith\\e uniforms of the band returned gq once.. It was also asked that they ibe cleaned up and put in order. This was granted. It led to considerable discussion. It now appears that there is no record or inâ€" ventory of the band instruments and outfit. Some pieces are missing, it is thought. This will all be straightened out by the propeity cotmmittee, which was delegated to find out all they could about the number of, articles belonging to the band and their presâ€" \ Mr. Allan Pearson, secretary of the Water, Power and Light Commission, was present to explain any difficulties in reference to ‘the statement of the Commission. â€" Tl#e statement was the annual clearing between the town council and the Commission. This reâ€" port will be, held over till the special meeting in order that all details will be clearly gone into. It appears that the Hydro Auditor made a wrong enâ€" try of some $2100, which they should have charged _to. construction and have‘ been debentured by the town. This was not done last year, but will have |to be readjusted, this year. It is the ‘desire of the council and comâ€" mission to have this all settled up. ‘ A yote of sympathy was passed by the council and the clerk was instructâ€" ed to send the same to Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Pearen, who recently lost their youngest son, Wilfrid. ent \;'he}@about‘s-. The council . are willing to do all they could to assist the band in their efforts. ‘‘The question of a public reception to the eight soldiers who have returnâ€" ed was decided to be held on Tuesday evening in the town hall at 8 o‘clock. It is hoped that all the citizens will turn out to give these boys a royal welcome. Arrangements will be imade at once for the event. Medals will be presented to each soldier. t Ard you in favor of building, a new school in Weston? This is a question that you will be called upon to anâ€" swer on the first of January. Nw before you can cast your vote you should at least find out something of the conditions. If you don‘t do it now you can‘t kick afterwards at the cost. See to it at once that you find out all the details of the proposed site «and building that is to be bought at a cost of some $60,000. ‘ We need the school badly, but what we want to be sure of ‘. Thg electiqh byâ€"law was passed and, nomination will be held in the town hall on Monday, Dec. 23. is that we are getting the best value for our money. ‘This can only be seâ€" cured .by the closest coâ€"operation of everyone with the school board. They want your help. They ask for your co‘â€"operation.‘ ‘The best. way that you can assist is by coming to the poll with an intelligent understanding of the situation. i 3 WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1918 SCHOOL BOARD‘S WORK wWESTON COUNCIL ,/ibn Sunday evening St. John‘s Anâ€" ghcan Church was overcrowded. It was the occasion of the dedication of 4 brass lecturn in memory of Lt. Robâ€" ert Allan, who was killed in action, and Robert Allan, Sr, who, passed away a short timeâ€"ago. Mrs. Robt. Allan, who made the presentation, also gave the beautiful brass cross that adorns the altar in memory of her other son, Leonard, who was killâ€" ed in action. Lt. Jack Allan, who has just returned home, unveiled the lecturn, which was covered. by the S. O.â€"E. large Union Jack. The vicar, Dr. Archbold, performed the ceremony of dedication. In the sermon. that the doctor preached he drew attention to the neâ€" cessary part that sacrifice played in every phase of life. No life that lives to itself rises above itself. The seed is useless as long as it remain in the barn... It only fulfills its function when it is put into the ground, and dies, to rise again. By its sacriftce, it brings life and fruitfulness. This is. true of all nature., The fun, the stream, the oak, the soil, the flowers, the birds, are all subjected to *‘ this great law of sacrimice. They all sacâ€" rifice everything to produce the highâ€" er and greater result.. In civilization this same law operates.. Without the law of sacrifice society could not exâ€" ist. The factory shows humanity day after day slaving, the mines have their men who suffer hardships to secure the coal that gives heat ‘and comfort to humanity, and every part of, labor is for the purpose of comâ€" fort to some other part of humanity. This is the lgxw that governs\society. All our co/‘mforts and enjoyments have been won by the sacrifice of men,. Love is the true underlying element that prompts \this great sacrifice. Some will say greed, but the true analysis shows that love is the fundaâ€" pnrental. It takes up the best and highâ€" est in man. It awakens the true self. It was this great love that caused men‘ everywhere to answer the call of huâ€" manity in 1914.â€" It was this love that ennobled the sacrifice of our men who gave ufi all to cross the ocean and fight the battles of humanity. No exâ€" ample is greater than that of the brave mother whose three boys crossed. Two never would return, one who is here toâ€"night wounded; and husband, who did all that he could. (It is these noble examples that stimulate us on to greater activities in the welfare of humanity. / _4 Nocl Henry Mackintosh ‘The death occurred last week of Noel Henry Mackintosh, aged 31 years, youngest son of the late Dr. Harry Mackintosk and Mrs. Mackinâ€" tosh, Bournemouth, England.
