Mr. Moon 5in W111 was 89 years of age and father of Mr. F. W. Moon of Dar-ham. The deceased was a cripple for the later years of his life, suffer- ing a stroke of paralysis which left him partially helpless. He was born in Glenwale, near Kingston, was a respected resident of Keppel Township for many years, and later moved to Wiarton. He also lived in Hanover for a time before going to Owen Sound.

The Hon. David Jamieson, M. D., of Toronto, chairman“ of the Mo- the1s“ Allowance Commission of Ontario, was the guest of the combined St. Thomas and Elgin Mother’s Allowance board at a din- ner arranged by the St. Thomas board at the Empire Hotel on Tues- day of last wéek. Dr. Jamieson, who has been visiting a number of the Mothers’ Allowance boards in the province, was accompanied by Colonel Murphy, also of the Mothers Allowance Commission, Toâ€" 1 1onto. --vv- In his address following the dinâ€" I ner, Dr. Jamieson, who is a re- 1‘ markahly interesting speaker, spoke F in comprehensive manner. of the I work being accomplished by the I Mothers’. Allowance Commission and a various boards throughout the pro-' f Vince. Dr. Jamieson pointed ~out -. that it is practically impossible for a government to frame a law which will not need some amendment in 1 its application and stated that sug- gestions .in connection with the law covering this work are welcomed. At present assistance is not given to 1 the mother with one child. If this ‘ were done, it. would add another million dollars to the two million already being expended annually in this province in this work, but the speaker did not see why in a prov- ince as wealthy as Ontario. where $9,000,009 have been collected from succession duties, there should not be sufficient funds to administer efficiently so important a departâ€" ure as the Mothersj Allowance. It was suggested that there might be. a flat rate given' under the Mothers’ Allowance for what is known as the metrOpolitan dis- tricts. There had also been an agitation tor a flat rate for the whole province, which would mean the same rate for city and country. At present on acocunt of the higher living costs in the city, the rate for the latter is greater than that for the country. as a result of which it has been found that many are mov- ing from the country to the city. Ottawa ,has also found cause for complaint. in the fact that mothers residing in Hull. Quebec. in whiclw province there is no mothersC 5 Alio-wanm). have been moving to Ot- 3 tawa, thus setting up residence in , Ontario and qualifin for assist- (5 - ance under the act in this provmce. t The speaker also pointi‘rd out. that there is nothing at. present to 1 cover the case of the family where 1 the mother is dead. the father in 3 prison and. a foster mother support~ ing the children. There are many ~’ things that are discouraging in the 3 work and considerable room for S tlox'vloliment and improvement. as it progresses. but Dr." Jamieson pomt- 1 ml out. that there are also many cn~ ' features. 11:: was most couragmg leauues 111 pleased with all the boards he had visited and the work they “111113 111: ('0n1111ishi1111'.

Jamieson was introduced by Frank Harding, chairman of the city Mothers’ Allowance board, who spoke of the great interest of the work being accomplished and of its value in the community. He also referred to the fact that the requirements of the fact for a fam- ily to qualify for assistance from the board were not well enough un- derstood by the people in general. Assistance can be given only to a ~wirlow or to the wife of a man who is a British subject. by birth or nat- uralization and who is totally (lis- abled.

DURHAM WON 0. H. A. MATCH WITH LISTOWEL Local Team Had Reversal of Form Tuesday Night and Won Well- played Ontario Association Con- test _Hand.ily.â€"Ha.nover Should Play 'Here Next Monday Night. TheDurha‘ms, smarting from their defeat by Walkerton in a Northern League fixture here last week, were a different outfit when they met Listowel‘ ‘ on the local ice surface last Tuesday night. They won their game 5 to 3, and but for some had work about the nets and the spec- tacular saves of Johnston would have cleaned up on Frank Kelly’s kids with an even greater score. When Listowel comes to town it is a‘ signal for all the hockey fans to go early and secure a good seat, and there was a good crowd present at this second game of the season. Play was commenced about 8.30 when Referee Johnston of Palmer-I ston faced the teams and let them away. The first period started off with a.rush and there was some neat work done by both teams. The ice was not too fast, but both teams travelled at ‘full speed and for the .first four minutes it was anybody’sy “game. The Durhams had the most of the play and kept the puck pretty well past centre ice when the forward line combined in on the Listowel goal and Buschlen netted the rubber for Durham’s first counter. It was another eight minutes before McGirr found the twine when he worked in on the defence and fooled Johnston, and four minutes later. on a pass from Elvidge scored Durham’s third goal of the period. This ended the scoring for the first 20 minutes; â€" â€"A-- “\n QUVL Jun 5‘! ya. --â€" ~ The second period was much the same as the first. The play was fast, and little could be chosen between either team for the first ten minutes, except that the Dur- ham forward line got in closer than their opponents and the fact that there was not more scoring can VIA“ unov- v be attributed to the fact that some of the shots were wide by inches, and the others were gobbled up by Johnston. Durham’s first counter came after fifteen minutes on a nice piece of combination by the Dur- ham forwards, who worked through the Listowel defence and Johnston had little chance. Five minutes later saw Robbie score for the vis- itor's when he broke through the Durham defence line and heat Mc- Donald. Two minutes later Listoâ€" wel scored another, but had the re- feree had' his eye on the play it would not have been counted. The paly that ended in the score was play that ended in the score was an ofi'side from just inside the Durham blue line, and another Listowel man, who had been in the corner behind the Durham net came out and, with offside No. :2. shot the rubber into the twine. The second period ended with the Durhams up At the commencement of the third session the referee called both teams to the centre of the ice and warned them that no rough stufl' would be allowed. Evidently he thought that the game might do- veloi.) into anything, and the best time was to speak before the final session got under way. Judging from the commencement it was to be a walkover for the Durhams, for Elvidge scored in less thana quarter of a minute‘on lUDD U11 u; [L w \aw- v- a high lit! f10n’1 centm ice that. soared so high that it went beyond :H‘A Dualou UV “.0" v”..- __ , v the line of vision and flonped into the net before the Listowel goalie knew what was happening.

They were as a team not so fast as the locals. but with the old veteran Kelly to coach them put up some real good hockey and kept the Durham six working all the time. 1“ Anf‘ lvllllU. It was a clean game, too. and while eleven penalties were. handed out they were for minor infractions. During the whole game no question- able tactics were used by either sextette, though at-the speed at which it was played there was ample opportunity. Kelly, as of old, was always dan- gerous, and played his usual bril- lint hockey, while Robbie packed a wicked shot that took some stopping to keep out of the net and Creighton was always dangerous.
