He termed ‘the Tariff Board as ‘a buffer excuse for the Government in not taking care of their proper responsibilities towards {theâ€"aims »of. safeguarding the: indusâ€" ‘tries of the"country.‘ As he told in jocular terms ‘of the methods. used I to arrive at understandings on the \ part of the Board and 8s. the Hon. | Mr. Robb. ‘"The Government tells us they can prove by figures" said Mr. Bell, "that the country is prosperous, but there is only one guide to this that is infallâ€" ible, the pockets of the working man. The condition of the man who makes his living by labour for what is known as a living wage. They point to the condition of the labour market and say everyone is working, but at what a wage, nothing is said of that, you are not told that there are thousands of postal employees, in the Governâ€" ment service getting less than $980 per year. A rank outrage and a gross injustice to declare these and many others employed at this figure and less are working and that the country is prosperous, because they work." Conservatives Must Gain Control Of Dominion Guidance _ He concluded with a review of the past experiences of the Hon.

These are industries that must be maintained, if we are to carry on, there could be no enduring prosâ€" perity if this or any Government were to cut then down. tawa he said the situation in which the Government there found themselâ€" ves was serious for the Hon. The Premier, Mr. King, was retaining his majorities in the House in a peculiar manner, by the persistent policy of area legislation which they followed. Treating with Tariff revisions and adâ€" justments to meet the contingent reâ€" quirements of widely divergent disâ€" tricts. "The Government has through this form of administration and is now" said Mr. Bell, "and will continue to be in such a postion that it is imâ€" possible for them to carry out any legislation of a worth while character, that will be of material good to the whole Dominion at large." In this connection stating that the King, Govâ€" ernment could not advance legislation for the west that would be objection= able to the east, and viceâ€"versa. He went on to declare that the King Government would endeavour to show that they were doing something of an outstanding character, when they obâ€" tained the British Government recogâ€" nition of Equality of Status, as a Naâ€" tion. "But," said Mr. Bell, "as a matter of fact this equality of status was granted the Dominion many years ago in the time of Sir Robert Borden‘s period, when he obtained such recogâ€" nition of position from the hands of reluctant England."

R f Some alterations will eventually be necessary in the buildings and there is talk of damming up a section of the river as a swimming pool, but the sugâ€" gestion at present is to leave the changes until the camp has been lived in fora year. A number of officers expect to visit the farm today for further inspection. Guides will be glad to learn that possession is to be given at once and the intention at present is to hold the camps this summer. There is already a large frame house and a splendid barn with \possibilities as a playroom or workroom in wet weather. Further delights for young campers will be the woods and hills and the fact that the Humber River winds about the propâ€" erty. The result of the official efforts was announced last week that negotiations were practically complete for the purâ€" chase of the Nightingale farm, a propâ€" erty of approximately 100 acres, sitâ€" uated about a mile and a quarter from King, a short distance west of the highway and quite near to Sir Henry Pellatt‘s farm. .Word having been received by the officials of the Toronto Girl Guides that they â€"would have to give up their camp site at "Holyrood" in the Oakâ€" ville section, they have been for some time exercising theitr time in endeavâ€" oring to locate another suitable_site for a camping area. .

There was a large turn out again for the evening service when many formâ€" er members of the Parish and friends of the rector and his wife were presâ€" ent. Among them was Rev. Canon Fidler who assisted in the service. Mrs. S. Wilson read the lessons and the Rector gave a most inspiring serâ€" mon on the everlasting and loving arms of our Lord Jesus Christ. In the course of his remarks he pointed out that Jesus was ever willing and ready to lift us up if we should stumble and fall. If we but turn to the Lord we will find Him waiting with open arms to receive His chilâ€" dren. Mr. H. Musson and Mrs. Geo. Verral, who. were wardens at.

He is keenly interested in ireal estate, and has negotiated many daring transactions. He is proud of his United Empire Loyalist ancestry in that his ancestors proved their loyalty and attachment to the English crown in the trying days of the Amâ€" erican Revolution. He is firmly conâ€" vinced that the monarchical form of government is the best form of govâ€" ernment for a nation. The dog nuisance is beginning to show signs for alarm as backlot garâ€" deners are planting and sowing. It is not our intention to vilify the dog, as he is a faithful friend and comâ€" panion, besides he is a useful animal where needed and properly trained. He is of inestimable value on the farm when taught to do things. â€" He can be trained to round up cattle in the pasâ€" ture field, and drive the herd into the yard at milking time, In fact he can be taught to do most anything in seasâ€" on of »carefully handled. But on the other hand he can be most destructive if allowed to roam at will, unconâ€" trolled and untrained. It is largely because of his behaviour that sheepâ€" raising has ceased to be profitable with the farmer, yet he seems to be preferred stock, and is allowed . the freedom of the country where he carâ€" ries on a warfare of destructiveness. He may be needed on the farm, but we are unable to see why he should be allowed to roam unchecked in towns, villages or other congested. communiâ€" ties, roaming through garden plots and flowerbeds, scratching up loose earth and destroying plants. It is a hardship sometime, to lock your pet up, but it is necessary. In 1913, he was again elected as Reeve. The council was composed of Oliver Master, H. Coon and Sidney Macklin. During their term of ofâ€" fice, this council originated and carried out many radical schemes of improveâ€" ment. A proposition for the paving of Main St., at.a cost of $47,000.00, was submitted to the people, who reâ€" jected it, preferring . a waterâ€"bound macadam which lasted only five years. Durin gthis year, Weston was incorâ€" porated as a town. y Dr. E. F. Irwin has been on the Hydro commission for a number of years, in fact, he has a much longer record of service on this body than any other citizen of the town. Weston is regarded as one of the best Hydro towns in the province and this is largely due to his progressive ideas in such matters. He was a member of the school board and was chairman of the Board of Education at the time the present commodious High School was built. . Under Dr. Irwin‘s leadership, the Council went to work in an energetic manner.~ ‘Fheâ€"energetic policy encounâ€" tered strong opposition, but in spite of that, the Council was able to lay four and one quarter miles of cement sidewalk, erect a town bell, and make arrangements for watering _ Main Street. At the end of 1907, he ran for reâ€"election as Reeve, but, after a hot contest, was defeated by three votes. He arrived in Weston on December 31st, 1890.. The population of the Vilâ€" lage of Weston at that time numbered seven hundred. However, the country was much more thickly populated, large families being the rule.. He reâ€" calls that in the first month of pracâ€" tise, he did business to the extent of $60.00.. The feet for a visit was two dollars; no matter_how far he had to travel to see the patient. Dr. E. F. Irwin has been prominent in the~municipal affairs of Weston. In 1907, the year the local option was passed in Weston, he was elected Reeve. The council in :that year was, compased of the following men: F. W. Moffat, Wm. McFarlane, H. Coon and W. Griffith. On the Armitage side, Dr. E. F. Irwin is descended from Amos Armiâ€" tage, who left the State of Pennsylâ€" vania and settled in Whitchurch Township in 1795. Thus, on both the maternal and paternal sides, he is desâ€" cended from Unitéd Empire Loyalist stock; and bears a name that is well known and identified with much of the development of the County of York. E, F. Irwin was born at Schomberg. He received his early education in the local schools and the Newmarket High School, after which he entered Vicâ€" toria University and graduated from that institution with the degree of M. E. F. Irwin is wellâ€"known throughâ€" out the County of York as a medical practitioner of high repute and abilâ€" ity. The Irwin family is of English extraction; one of his ancestors, Jared Irwin, having left England with that famous colonist, William Penn, and assisted him in laying out the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Thomas Irwin, the grandfather of the subject of this sketch was born at Newmarket, in 1810.. His wife, Philâ€" adelphia Pearson, was the daughter of a wealthy farmer of that district, who had, as one of his guests,. Lord Durham, when he came to Canada on a special commuission from the English government, to investigate and report on the causes of the rebellion of 1837â€" 38. Jared Irwin, «the father of our subject, was born in the Township of Tecumseth, Simcoe County in 1840. He was married in 1860 to Miss Eliza J. Armitage. D. C. M. in 1889; He received his Bachelor of Medicine degree from the University of Toronto in 1890. Prominent Figures In Weston‘s History THE DOG SITUATION DR. E. F.

School Children in Weston, of course, are particularly fortunate in the Community . Gardens which do much towards instilling into . their minds a true love of beauty and neatâ€" ness, and which educates them in the training necessary to well kept homes and surroundings. j The school children can be taught how to grow some annual flowers around their homes, even if it is only, a window box or small bed they can call their own." The drive is one now to make Wesâ€" ton a place of beauty. But it is not the gardens alone which will accomplish this. . It is clean, wellâ€"painted, well< kept storeâ€"fronts and buildings, nicely painted homes, well arranged lawns and gardens, and no halfâ€"dilapidated fences, or vacant lots overgrown with weeds or strewn with rubbish. It is a clean, bright, and shining Weston in our homes and outside. ‘ Largely Attended Meeting in Cen,. Unit. Church.
