Constable Ford picked him up and escorted him to No. 6. He was fined $10 and costs. Constable Ford‘s Heroism |_ On Thursday night at 9 o‘clock Conâ€" stable Ford discovered the two notorâ€" ious bootleggers, Joe Burke and Jack Blake, at the top of Eighth St. with 6 gallons of whiskey. He tackled them singleâ€"handed and after being knocked down and struck by Blake, Constable Ford handcuffed Blake and secured the whiskey. The ConstaUle shot at Burke who decamped, but as it is very dark, it is not known just what damage, if any, was done to Burke. It is a great pity "it was so near and yet so far," as Burke is a dangerous and wily customer and deâ€" serves all that he will get eventually. Blake was brought before the magiâ€" strate on Friday and remanded until the 23rd Dec. Both Burke and Blake are wanted for assault and bootleggâ€" ing in Toronto. School Savings We think it worthy of note and we are pleased to publish the following interesting items re our school chilâ€" dren‘s savings during the past four months. Through the Penny Bank the amount stands at $789.75, through loâ€" cal or other banks $951.88, purchase of Thrift and W.S.8. $105.00, Victory Bonds $3050.00, in various other ways $154.32â€"$5050.95.. This item speaks for itself and Mr. Mole has every reaâ€" son to feel himself the benefactor of his scholars in instituting such saving propensities.. Rev. H. Toye has announced for a special men‘svmeeting on Sunday afâ€" ternoon next in‘ which he desires to have 100 men present. Surely men who have come in contact with the Rev. Mr. Toye will not turn down his kind invitation, «as he has always something good for men. Try and reâ€" member his pleasant eye and smiling face and you will not turn down such a request nor regret your acceptance of same. Elections are getting the rage here, but Tuesday will let us know who is going to stand for the Municipal honâ€" ors. _ We wish our candidates the best success. We have noticed several times our correspondent asking for correct statements and we find in last week‘s issue through not being able to attend the Council meeting, a correct stateâ€" ment was not given. The deputation that visited the Council was a deputaâ€" tion and consisted of ratepayers to asâ€" certain the whereabouts of the equipâ€" ment of hose, boots and coats, helmets of the old fire hall to be able to form an idea of what was needed for the new brigade and the meeting did not close till 12 o‘clock and not 9.30 as stated. Such a thing puts our corâ€" respondent out and we deem it wiso for any one giving the detail$ to give them correctly. An air of friendliness and also of patience is remarked at the Merchâ€" ants Bank here. An incident this week was worthy of note in which Mr, Conn, the manager, had the patience of job and préved himself a man. Such things are worthy of recognition as some men would get on their high horses. We trust it will not be repeatâ€" ed. Rumor has it that our Constable, Mr. Ford, has received a blow from one of our citizens. We trust he is better and hope that warfare among men shall soon cease. * The first New Toronto Troop of Boy Scouts will receive their charter in a few days and an evening will be givâ€" en to its presentation. Their colors ‘chosen are green with red border. A good time is looked forward to and we hope to see a large turnout on the announcement. Owing to Xmas eve there will be no meeting till Jan. Tth, when all the boys must be preâ€" sent. We hope they will not forget the seventh Scout Law but obey the request of their Scoutmaster, The last meeting of LO.L 328 for the year 1919 was held on Friday eyâ€" ening, Dec. 19th, but as arrangement hadâ€"been made for a reception of reâ€" turned soldier brethren, the business was quickly done and the members, with their families, settled down to an enjoyable evening. A splendid proâ€" gramme of songs, readings, musical selections were rendered by the folâ€" following artists: Miss Westerman, Miss Campion, Mr. W. Campion and J. Walton, string band; J. Shannon, recitation; J. @riffin,. reading; J. Chessnagh, song, "Home Again;" Bros. Stole, mandolin and guitar seâ€" lections. This was followed by a preâ€" sentation of Royal Arch pins to each ‘ The butcher boy who. met with a: accident some time ago is still im prov. img although’; confined to his bed. Th Scouts, hearing of it, got togyether ant bought a basket of fruit and took it t« him:. ‘Bbis already shows the gooc Scout fieeling.among the boys here anc a true scout spirit in trying to comâ€" fort another injured Scout. We hop that our injured Scout will more thar ever stick to his Troop on getting ou again. We wish him speedy recovery of the following returned brethren who, were in the service of the Kihg during this great war: B. Cambray, J. Walton, H. Walton, W. Campion, N. McCallum, C. McCallum, W. Hayes, W. Hewton, J. Gibsen, W. Harlock, N. Harlock, A. Laughlin, C. Fetterley, P. Elint. After the presentation a game of euchre followed, the prize winners being: Ladies, 1 Miss J. Mcâ€" Callum, 2 Mrs. I Walton: gents., 1 W. Campion, 2 J. McCallum. After the games all present sat down and enâ€" joyed themselves by filling)the â€"inner hungry man which was done credit to after such a display on the tables. Such a display of cakes, etc., were very tempting to the hugry Adams and Eves. Speeches concluded a most sucessful and pleasant . eyening. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. King and family belonging to Toronto lodge?_ The committee were congrat ulated on the suceess of the exvening. which was a great credit in so shortia notice. 4 4 Ritchie & Ramsay‘s whistle soundâ€" NEW TORONTO to ed about 11â€"o‘clock Saturday night and our brigade were on the job. Such a run, everyone thought there was really a fire when it merely consisted of a practice. RKeep it.up. Whistic Works Well Tuesday was the first real test that cur local fire brigade have had. They answered the call and did the job well. In the first place, the new fire whistle whistle brought all the fireâ€" men to the scene with very little deâ€" lay. The men were all on the job and soon at the fire on 6th Street at Mrs. Hodge‘s. They, however, found that the nearest hydrant was at the corner of 5th Street. Extra hose had to be secured and attached. All this was done in short order and the fire put out. The damage will amount to about $50 and was chiefly bed clothâ€" ing. At the regular meeting of Court Derwent 3976 held in the Municipal Chambers, Fin. See. Brother T. C Barrett was presented with a beautiâ€" ful tapestry rocking chair by Brother J. F. Stewart on behalf of the comâ€" panions and brothers of the above mentioned Court. In one of his usual straightforward, racy speeches, brothâ€" or "Jack". complimented . Brother Barrett for his zeal and energy,which he had displayed in carrying on this work, and hoped that he would be long spared to enjoy the companionâ€" ship and comfort of the gift. Brother John Mohan, without whom no Forâ€" esters‘ meeting is complete, also paid a high tribute to Brother Barrett. Our School Board One of the great questions of> the day is, why does not our school board meeting be held in the evening. If this were done it would give all the ratepayers an opportunity to see iust what is being done on the school board and at the same time to take an active part in the election of the trustees. The council has made an effort to have this meeting called at .30 or 8 o‘clock, but there seems to be no other hour except that set by the law. With the new addition to the school and many other questions that might be discussed, the ratepayâ€" ers couldâ€" have a very interesting meeting. As it is now no one knows just what is going on. It is up to the present board to meet this year in the evening and give the ratepayers an opportunity to attend the mecting. It could easily be arranged if the trusâ€" tees are willing. + The following officers were elected for the coming season: Court Deputyâ€"Bro. Street. C. Rangerâ€"Bro,. H. Hallam. V. C. Rangerâ€"Bro. Launchbury. Court Physicianâ€"Dr. Forbes Godâ€" frey. quoted as notâ€"going to stand for anâ€" other year. This will not be known until the day of qualification is past. One new name is mentioned as comâ€" ing out,> Now there should be a little more interest taken in the affairs of the town. Men who have to pay the taxes and are always on the war path should be ready to do their share ana not leave it to a few men to accept all the burden. Stir up an interest in the municipal life of our community by getting out to the nomination meeting. 4 bury Look out for the big event of the season to be held in the School Audiâ€" torium. Posters and tickets later. The Mimico Council completed its business for the year on Monday night, all the members being present. Rouâ€" line business was transacted. One of the items that was passed upon was the acceptance of the resignation of Mr. T. Lowes as engineer. It was with the deepest regret that the counâ€" cil accepted this resignation,.

CANADIAN BACON PROVES ITS SUPERIORITY Canadian bacon during war so esâ€" tablished its superiority over compeâ€" titors in the British market that it has become chiefly a question of how much this country can produce: that is the only limit to the field. Export values have increased sixteen times over preâ€"war figures. Canadian Wiltâ€" shire side became a favorite on the British breakfast table. The quality was severely tested recently, when owâ€" ing to vast conges\tion at the British ports, large quantities of American bacon products, unable to stand the unfavorable conditions, became unfit for food, Canadian bacon under the same conditions because of its better curing process came through . with very little loss. ¢ Mr. Henry B. Thomson, lately Chairman of the Canada Food Board. while in England made a canvass of importers of bacon, all of whom enâ€" thusiastically praised the Dominion product and declared that there will be a demand for it only limited by the supply. Regularity of production to keep up a steady market they considâ€" ered requisite and agreed that everyâ€" thing should be done to encourage a steady supply of hogs. Canadian packâ€" ers, impressed with the national opâ€" portunity in the export market revealâ€" ed in the last two years, and convineâ€" ed that in many Imes Canadian farmâ€" ers can compete with other sources of meatâ€"food supplies, have formed the Industrial and Development Council of Meat Packers with headquarters in Toronto, to foster and extend liveâ€" stock farming. As progressive busiâ€" ness men the yare convinced that liveâ€" stock farming and meat packing are indust{ies so intimately bound togethâ€" er as to be vital to the growth of agâ€" ricultural Canada. The one finds the best markets on the largest scale for what the other can produce.
