Pedestrians crossing the railway tracks on John, King and Church Streets have been in the habit of lifting the gates and passing under when they are down for the safety and protection of the public. In lifting the gate the lever at the power house is thrown out, and if the operator's eye is turned, “then it is liable to strike him, break- ing an arm or causing some other serious injury. Accidents of this kind have been 'ayerted several times recently _by the prompt action of the man in catching thtf lever as it lifts from its socket. These {gates have been placed tor the public safety, and all should stand on the outside ot them when down. But it a per'son is going to take the risk of crossing, when the gates are down (which is alcs ways a, danger) then they must stoop low enough to pass under without touching any part of the gate. The authorities intend to prosecute all of- fenders, as it is necessary to gate- guard the man at the helm. So please take friendly warning in time. The comforts, pipes, tobacco, muf- tJers,1 flannel shirts, thick woollen stockings, ete., were duly'distributed from the Canteen, H. M. C. Dockyard, Halifax, thence to Sydney, Cape Bret- on, St. John, Newfoundland to the va- rious ship patrols, cruisers, and mine sweepers, drifter-s, etc., amidst the bit- ter gale. and snow of our North At- lantic winter. They were indeed much appreciated, and I wish these ladies could hear some of the nice things that were said by our lads who were so immensely pleased at this kind and loving thought. kt I have the honour to remain, Yours most. gratefully, Gerald E. Bridge, R. D. Commander, R.N.R. Need is Felt During the last two weeks there has been overcrowded meetings held. At these, the Methodist choir concert, the Firmen’s concert and the reception to the returned boy there was not enough room to accommodate the crowd. In each case there were a large number of persons turned away. At the Town Hall there was a considerable amount of unrest among those in the hall. It was so filled that many persons thought only of the great talk that has been current in regards the hall. This report regards the safety of the hall is not true. During the recent altera- tions extra supports were placed in the building thus making it safe. The great fact that these meetingss has demonstrated is the need of some big public auditorium for this town. It is now time that there was in the town some hall that would seat 1000 people, This may seem a little large but we must look to the future. Weston‘ will need a hall of this size in a short time. In view of this fact and realize the great shortage of a large sized, build- ing at the lair last year would it not be a good venture to build such a place at the fair grounds? This would be the ideal and the whole town and dis- trict will reap the benefits. It could be utilized tor all sorts of meetings, picnics, dancing, concerto, conventions and exhibitions. There would be rev- enue that would make such a. venture pay for itself. It also would be mak- ing our park the centre for such ac- tivities. l The following letter of appreciation has been received in acknowledgement of the Christmas parcels sent to the Navy League. In this matter, Weston sent a large donation: From Commanding Officer, H.M.C.S. Bethalma, H.M.C. Dockyard, Halifax, N. S. To Commodore Aemilius Jarvis, Pres. of the Navy League of Canada, Sir: I beg to request that you will con- vey to the ladies and members of the Royal Navy League of Canada the most grateful thanks ot the officers and men of H. M. C. Atlantic Fleet for their generous and kindly New Year and Xmas gifts received, from them. They were apparently sent from Toronto, Fort William, Winni- peg, and in fact, from every branch them.

The time is now approaching when you are called upon to think of the spring time. Spring-time with all its beauty of life can be made still more beautiful by the couoperation of the members of the Horticultural Society.

Collections will be made on behalf of the missionary work of the church. There has been‘several thinking men of the town' suggest that we should have a'central club house. The need has been felt.for some place tor the men to congregate. The one big difficulty was that there was' no cen- tral property that was available for this purpose. There is in all propa- bility a place that wilt meet all the re- quirements. It is ideally situated in the centre of the town; its rooms are large and can be easily adapted for club purposes; its grounds are large and will give room for a little out door sport. This place may be on the mark- et shortly and there should be some effort to get it. If there is still the, feeling that we should have such d club house now is the time to get it. Through the generosity of the late Mr. James McLenaghan, of Toronto, two more endowed beds tor consump- tives have been established, one at the Muskoka Free Hospital for Consump- tives, the other at the Queen Mary Hospital for Consumptive children.

The executive of the Weston Horti- cultural Society were pleased and gratified last Thursday night at the splendid representation pt the citizens on the occasion of Miss Blacklock’s visit to the society. The gathering showed the increased, interest which is taken by the people in this important branch of, public responsibility to- wards beautifying home and local sur- roundings. The speaker, an expert on perennials and with a, practical know- ledge gained from personal experi- ments in her own beautiful gardens at Meadowvale, "Rowancrott," the name conjuring in the minds of many a Westonite pictures of rows upon rows of bloom, gorgeous reds and purples, delicate pink and yellow, dainty blues and mauves, intermingled with white pure and unsuilied by smoke, as the driven snow.

In her address, illustrated by slides, which gave one the needed coloring and effect you were trying to work out for the particular nook or corner you were planning to decorate this spring or in the near future, she gave many points of information to the prospective. planter. At the close of this address Rev W. M. Mackay, re- cently appointed representative ot No. 4 District, spoke a. few words strongly emphasizing the need ot cultivating theHove ot the beautiful in the minds of the growing child. In the matter of vegetables create In the youthful mind the impression that it was worth while to cultivate that particular line till it reached perfection. In days gone by reading, writing and ciphering fitted a boy or girl tor the problems they would confront in every day life; not so now, and it was the duty ot the people ot to-day to see to it that the generation of the future were prepur- ed to grapple with the questions that would confront them. Education and Christianity must be united. The churches away back in ancient history had founded colleges and built schools, and to-day we must build along reli- gious and educational lines if we are going to build strongly enough to last for the years to come. So he would urge a widening out of our en- orgies along all lines of horticultural work. Mr. Dockary of Toronto, who has always taken a great interest in the Weston branch, spoke a few words as to the great things accomplished by them, and hoped that this year would only mean greater success and increas- ed activities, which he was confident would be the outcome with the pro- gramme drafted out by the commit- tee, namely, increase of membership from 544 to 1000, help rebuild the or- chards and gardens of devastated Bel, gium and France, also to plant shade trees in honor of our fallen heroes, Vocal solos rendered by Miss Clarice Packham in her usual pleasing man- ner were much appreciated by all.
