Evans, Islington, the genial postâ€" master, and was well worth the trouble and time given by the many who conâ€" tributed flowers to help make this a success The success of these shows depends entirely on the people of the district giving their support and coâ€" operation.

In the course of the session of the ‘Etobicoke Township Council _ when some discussion was aroused in regard to the issue of Dog Tags it transpired that in the days prior to the present system the revenue derived from this source amounted to the sum of apâ€" proximately $300.00 annually. Years ago this sum was not considered as in keeping with the number of animals known to be in the municipality and a change in the collection of the tax was instituted. The tax was collected by the assessâ€" or, who received one dollar of the amount assessed as payment for the work entailed, this was productive of complaints from some areas that the tax collector was making more money than the office called for, and the system was further revised and the present system inaugerated. _ An interesting item on the program was a pageant staged by the Maple Mission Band. Mrs. A. Waltington, of Maple, delivered an address of welâ€" come to the visitors. The Canadian Pacific Railroad Co., as well as many citizens. are using the paint brush quite liberaily these days. Most everything that needs paint is going through a touching up process. Now the tags are sold by the Townâ€" ship through its accredited represenâ€" tatives appointed as assessors who disâ€" pose of them in the course of their inspection trip over the particular area, or they are dispensed through the Township offices. As a result of this more recent system it transpired that.the revenue now derived amountâ€" ed to the sum of approximately $3,800 per annum, which was all directed to the Township coffers as a source of material revenue towards the reducâ€" tion of general taxation throughout the municipality. From this it would appear that the interests of the taxâ€" payer throughout the Township would be well served in seeing that every dog has a,tag, if for no other reason than that the revenue due shall be reâ€" ceived while the municipality has a check on its dogs. > Mr. and Mrs. Robert Paul, son Henry, Will, and Tom, Kersey, motorâ€" ed to Owen Sound last week where they visited friends.

Her score was in the neighborhood of four score‘ and ten. The rolling pin contest was won by Mrs. Strachan, who cracked the old man‘s head open with the pin first clout. Mrs. Cassidy was second, and believes in knocking the wind out for best results. The winner, Mrs. Harry Bates, pushâ€" ed a spike into a 6x6 beam in eleven taps. Mrs. John Reid, a close second, did the trick in 12. Mrs. Reid made a slip or two which lost her the first money. _ The nail driving contest open only to married ladies, resulted in some wonâ€" detrful scenes.

Though the grounds and school of those days have been changâ€" ed considerably, the doctor recognized the old spot and no doubt many a though drifted back to his mind of the bad little children of those days.
