COOK Among cattle in Canada the princi- pal breeds is the Shorthorn, which numbers 53 per cent. of the total. Herefords come next, then Holsteins, with Aberdeen-Angus, Ayrshires and Jerseys following in the order named, as shown by figures compiled by the Dominion Statistician. Owing to peace celebrations being held in Brampton on Saturday. June 19th, the lacrosse game between Brampton and Weston to have been played on the Weston grounds has been postponed till a. later date. As a result of the earnest appeal made by Mrs. Ormsby at the close of the Sunday morning service in the churches, the W. C. T. U. meeting, held at the home of Mrs. Ogden, Lake Shore Road, was very well attended. After the election of the officers for the year, Mrs. Hyslop, Organizer ot the Referendum Campaign, addressed the meeting. The Secretary was re- quested to write Mr. Kettlewell, Field. Secretary of the Ontario Branch ot the Dominion Alliance, asking when he was having a. meeting in this dis- trict, and stating that they had the sympathy of this Union and that it would give all the support possible. The next meeting will be held on the last Thursday of the month at "orm- is Cliff,” the home of the President, at which meeting Mrs. Becker, Secre- tary of the Women's Department of the Referendum Campaign,' is expect- ed to be present and address the meet- Ing. , The many guests were entertained by games and races, for which suit- able prizes were awarded. Mrs. Andrew Dods of Stanley Ave. entertained a, number of young peo- ple last Friday afternoon, the occa- sion being the birthday of her daugh- ter, Miss Catherine Dods. The guests included: Misses Margar- et, Hazel and Clara Barnum, Eileen Bond, Lyla. Loggey, Margaret Lyon, Kathleen Hague, Dimples McAree, Ma- rian, Warner, Phylis Underhill, Bes- sie Hatton, Elsie Doughty, Josephine Woods, Betty Shepherd, Marian Car- son, Ilene Sparring, Joy Morgan, May Finch and Buster Doughty. A weedless Mimico has been, the dream and incidently the demand of the citizens of Mimico. With no weeds on the streets and a better car service, the residents joy would be complete. The new bus line is en- deavoring to improve one and the. Mayor has given the necessary order for the'destruction of the weeds. Su- perior Ave. is one of the first streets to fall a victim to the scythe and from now on Mimico will present a new aspect. The 12th ot July was a grand suc- cess here, as everywhere else, the crop of orange. lilies and silk hats being the best in years. All day long truck loads of loyal Orangemen passed up and down the Lake Shore Road, bands playing, and banners and silk hats gleaming in the sunshine.' Charlie Johnston, of Elizabeth "St., was one of the returned soldiers to arrive home this week. Mr. Johnston refuses to tell anything of what he saw while overseas. "I'm toague-tred in regard to any experiences," was all that he would say tor publication. The Public Utilities Commission met on Monday evening under the chair- manship of Mayor West, Commission- ers Dods and Hele with Secretary Bryer present. The business dealt with was purely routine, the members taking only a short time to transact the business. Mrs. Smith, who was visiting her daughter, Mrs. Inglis, of Station Road, Miniico, died very suddenly last week. Mrs. Inglis, going into her mother's room, found her in an extremely weak condition and after a few hours she passed away. _ ' Rev. J. R. Martino will preach at Christ Church on Sunday, July 20th,- both morning and evening. A special collection will he taken up at both ser- vices in aid of the Rectory Repair Fund. I The “Progressives” held a very en- joyable picnic in the, grounds of Miss Parker, of Queen St., and had a most enjoyable time, Miss Parker gener- ously supplying refreshments. , Mrs. E. J. Hutchins and Mrs. C, C. Hele with their families have gone to Honey Harbor for the summer, There they have taken Mr. William Telter's cottage. Pte. Roy Elliott of Vaneyery St. re- ceived a great welcome, home on Fri- day, decorated autos going down to the city and brought the returned hero home in triumph. , F Miss Elizabeth Brebner is spending u two weeks' vacation at Hotel, Royal, Honey Harbor, Muskoka. Pte. C. Johnson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alec. Johnson, returned from over- seas on Friday last. Pte. Johnson spent seven months in hospital, which delayed somewhat his return. Forty members of Sir Edward Car- son lodge went to Hamilton on the 12th of July in a motor truck, gener- ously loaned by Mr. W. H. Banfield. Capt. Gordon Gauld gave a. very in- teresting talk on Russia. on Sunday evening at the Presbyterian Church. Miss Dods has left for Alton, where she will spend her vacation with her grandparents. Dr. T. N.

Misses Grace and Lauretta \Voods are visiting friends at Stratford. CANADIAN CATTLE BREEDS MIDIICO is building a six house on his When you hear a. motor horn, make up your mind immediately what to do. Either stop or proceed, but do not hesitate. The chauffeur reads your intentions by the first move you make. If you then change your mind an accident is very liable to result. In response to requests sent in from various organizations Mr. R. C. Har- ris, Works Commissioner, has agreed to establish safety zones along the car tracks on some of the business streets both for the convenience of motorists and safety of the public. These safety zones will be established opposite the stopping points of the street cars and will be indicated by a wide white mark. The principle is that the motorist does not need to halt for a, standing street car, providing he keeps out of the marked area. The motors are supposed to keep between the curb and the outside of the white line. The principle has been worked successfully in many other large cen- tres and in order to give it a good try- out the police have consented not to take any numbers of cars passing a standing street car provided they are on the right side of the white line.. Motorists are accordingly asked to re- spect the new regulations and not to do anything to cause the police to protest against the safety zone. The reeve headed a deputation to the Honorable McDermott, asking him to give his aid with the settling of the 20 foot strip on north side ot Lake Shore Road. It means a big uni dertaking, and the honorable mem- ber asked for time to consider the matter. As yet no reply has been Ire- ceived from him. If we progress in this way it will lead to many improvements. We would get better transport facilities with a possible. doqk at New Toronto, and customs office factories are no use to the village unless we keep the money earned in them. right here, and in order to do this, we must have the houses to accommodate the employees. And if We have more homes and more residents,we shall naturally have better stores, better postal service, and better roads everywhere. “Pro- g,tession" is our watchword in New Toronto, and we ought all to give our council all the help we can in their great work. Mr. Herbert Baxter, contractor for the Housing Scheme, has commenced to excavate on Eighth Street. Already nine excavations are finished, and he has opened his office just (opposite Brown's on the highway. Everything is now in readiness to get the build- ings up. The municipality has ap- pointed Mr. Jas. Robertson to look af- ter their interests and as to plans and specifications. The appropriations have all been taken up and the reeve and Dr. Godfrey, M.P.P., have approached Mr. Ellis to arrange tor further loan. Goodyear employees have applied for over 60 houses, and the reeve is giving his advice as to the best way ot getting the matter set- tled with. the Housing Commission, so that other appropriations can be fixed up. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew and family will visit the Old Country ttjnd enjoy a well-earned holiday, and we qne and all wish them a right good time, and askthem to give a thought occasion- ally to the village, on Lake Ontario, where they have both made such hosts of friends by their, kindly actions, and their courtesy in business. Mr. Andrew's business will be tak- en over by Mrs. Sheffield‘ and Miss Reddan, and we wish them the same success as Mr. Andrew has had. They will open on August 4th,, after alter- ing their present premises to suit the requirements 'of a larger business. Ev- eryone knows Mrs. Sheffield and Miss Reddan and we feel that we shall all get the best of service from them. Everyone is sorry to hear of the pending departure of Mr. Andrew and his family from New Toronto. Mr. Andrew has been seven years here and in that time has built up a business second to none in the village and has won the esteem and respect of every- one who knows him. He will be greatly missed and New Toronto will lose one of her outstanding residents. Mr. Andrew has sold his property to the Canadian Bank of Commerce, and they will alter the premises to suit their banking business. _ / The advent of a. big bank with im- posing premises Will, no doubt, hasten the Merchants' Bank and Bank of N0- va Scotia to puCup their permanent buildings, and all this tends to im- prove our village. Nursing Sister Whitham, sister of our postmaster, arrived home on two weeks' furlough on Sunday evening. Sister Whitham has been overseas three and a half years and returned on the Celtic. She was attached to No. 7 Hospital and was in France most of the time. Sister Whitham won the Royal Red Cross for devotion to'duty and was decorated at Buck- ingham Palace by the King. She is looking well and wishes to thank all the residents of New Toronto for their kind thoughts of her while she was away at the front and for the many parcels, etc., she received. The breakwater at the foot of 3rd Street is nearing completion, and will be an immense benefit to Mrs, Fair, at the corner oft 3rd Street and Lake Shore Drive. Her immediate neigh- bors, Mr. Arland and Mr. Cleman, are both working hard on the protection of their property, and it is a very pe- cessary work. It is surprising to note the inroads the Lake makes when she is in a stormy mood. All will be grieved to hear of the sudden severe illness of Mrs. Smart, Rusholme, 3rd St. Mrs. Smart was stricken down with pneumonia last Wednesday and our sympathy goes out to Mrs. Parker, her daughter, with our sincere wishes for her mother‘s recovery. N Mr. Frank Reolley and his cousin, Mr. Mriltrid Terex, motored to Lind., say and surrounding districts during the week end and had a most enjoy- able time. Miss Edgar, Toronto, has been spending a week with Mrs. Cleman, "Meddledrift," and returned home the end of last week. Mrs. Fisher, 5th Street, who has been laid up for the past nine weeks, is now convalescing. Miss Mabel Moolings left on Mon- day tor a motor trip to New York and Boston. Mrs. “feelings with her daughters spent a few days in Buffalo last week.
