Times Hue (Thu-zed t When John A. was Premier Inn] an beaver huts were in vogue; when fondamen were broad crawls and all" wore hoop skirts, the pennies they tossed to children were as big " half dollars. Sixty years ago the ladies could go [mopping for dry goods and buy silks that would make you green with envy; linens that were linens, Ind broadcloths that beggar descrip- tion. But what their favourite store \‘did not have they usually got ulong Without. Times have changed. and so have /ptoerehandhse and business methods. Une of the influences that hats helped to bring about so much of change, that has helped to multiply oppor- tunities and increase the spending size of pennies is advertising. Advertitsimt't: Place Every merchant, every manufac- turer, knows that advertising mater- ially reduces selling costs by increas- ing the demand for and the distri- bution of the products of hundreds of thousands of mills. Indeed, many of the things we count today as ne- tessitiey or simple luxuries, could not I THE MAN OnThe Street OFFICERS ELECTED BY ' BLACKWO0D LODGE, 311 I.P.M.. Wor. Bro. H. It. Rogers; W.M, Wot.

When the drain at the memorial fountain blocked in mid- summer, the water was turned off and the pool allowed to stand stag- nant for some time. Finally, the water was removed from the pool, but, instead of fixing the drain, the fountain has been allowed to stand idle for the remainder of the Year. Wasted Assets We are sorry if this blunt state- ment of facts should appear in the light of carping criticism. Main St., ttide-street, park lawns and the orna- mental pool-they could all be group- ed under the heading of "Economy?' no doubt. In the mean time, however, these things have a potential adver- tising value which is plumb going to And the town parks, which might have been show places, have languish- ed for lack of attention. The Fair tttat are calmly resigned to the _ tting Association. Cruickshank Park needs nothing but systematic treatment with scythe and lawn» mower to become a beautiful expanse of park lawn. Instead, part of it is overgrown with noxious weeds and rank undergrowth. The rest of it is usually 1ytlt;hitrh..lush grass. Neverthless, the Kain was only 82 over last year. It is not enough. Wes. m must have more residents. Wes- must advertise. We do not suggest that the corpor- ation or a group of loyal citizens should seek to follow the example of Midland by buying space in the news- papers, or sponsoring radio program- mes. in an attempt to publicize Wes- ton’s unpaid-fur slogan "An Ideal Location For Home and Industry." Though it might be a good ideas, there is certainly no money available for such a purpose Bad Advertising During the past year, the condi- tion of Main Street and the abomin- able state of each and every unpaved side-street have probably done as much as anything else to keep pro- spective residents out of Weston. The streets have certainly conducted a very poor advertising campaign for the town. be made and sold at their reasonable prices except as advertising has cre- ated a broad market for them, mak- ing millions of sales at little prices and little profits. There is no argument about the 'Cope of advertising in commerce. ‘Xost people, however, do not stop to consider that advertising also has a legitimate place in municipal affairs. When Midland wanted a larger slice of the tourist business, the Chamber of Commerce banded the business men together--and Midland suivertiged. Midland got the tourists. Weston Needs Residents Weston needs more residents, in- deed, must have them to Rive stimu- lus to the business life of the town. Last week, Clerk Harry Musson re- ported to Town Council that the pop- ulation has grown to 5040. Deputy- Reeve s. Gordon Harris commented that this is the first time the figure has climbed over the five thousand mark. He made the statement with a satisfaction which we believe we understand.

De. K. U. C'ruickshdnk, Chairman of the Management Committee of the Board, said he had interviewed the lad after his suspension by Principal A.

He was of the opinion that there should be legisla- tion prohibiting the §ale of -catapults Mr. Fuller was at once rushed to the office of Dr. J. Alan Bull for em- ergency treatment and later Dr. James McCallum, Toronto eye special- ist, was called. After examination the latter expressed the belief that Mr. Fuller would not lose the sight of the injured eye. This belief was confirmed a few days later, when the teacher was reported to be getting alyyr Ewell. .. it was decided to hold the annual get-together of the Board and the various teaching staffs on Friday evening, Nov. 22nd. Trustee o. Man- ter an Chairman Arthur Pearson re- ported on a visit to Memorial School which therhad made with the object of observing the classes and teachers at work. '1 he had found halls and elassrooms well ventilated and lighted and the pupils and teachers happy. A fire alarm practice had shown the pu- pils out of the building in two min- utes, with the older girls running quickl ahead and opening the doors. The 'erustee and Chairman of the Board were highly pleased with every- thing they saw and had no sugges- tions to offer or criticisms to make. Further visits to the other schools will be made by other Board members in the near future. H. J. Fuller, teacher of the pre- vocational class at Weston High and Vocational School, narrowl escaped losing the sight of his 'iii), eye on Thursday afternoon of ast week, when he was hit by a piece of bent wire discharged from a catapult in tht.haels..of a pupil. - Finances Good Trustee Oliver Master, chairman of the Finance Committee, reported credit balances for the various schuols to date, as follows: Vocational school, credit $9,380.00; High School, credit, $8,30t.69; Public Schools, $5,772.06.

The Board unanimously passed the following resolution: "Whereas the secondary schools' irants have been further reduced by t e Department of Education, this Board wish to voice through the Associated High School Boards of Ontario, our protst at this reduction of present school year grants." It was pointed out that t ese reductions mean a difference of between $3,500 and $4,000 to the lo. cal Board for this year. from relief families, then the doctor’s bill can be presented for payment to relief authorities.
