The Flesherton team, while a bunch of hard workers were no match for the speedier Durham boys, and with the exception of the second period, the play was about as one-sided as the score indicates. In the second the Fleshertonites made their bid for a place in the score column, but the good work of McDonald in goal, and Ole- ments and Wilson on defense, turned them back scoreless. With the excep- tion of perhaps a half dozen, all the shots McDonald was called on to handle were fro moutside the blue line and there seldom was anybody‘ there to handle the rebound.

He had notified the company thati their product was unsatisfactory and produced several witnesses to show that his roof had leaked all during the fall until subsequently temporar- ily repaired. He had had another material applied the next spring which ,had proved satisfactory, and this was one more evidence that the product for which he was sued was not up to the standard claimed.

Sued For Paint Account The only other action . was that of the Franklin Paint Co. of Cleveland, Ohio, for paint shipped to D. M. Saunders of Durham and for which he refused to settle. l The plaintiff claimed the defendant was negligent, but after the evidence was all in His Honor ruled that no negligence had been shown and dis- missed the action with costs.

R. some time last fall. , Ball, the de- fendant, had been loading stock at the Allan Park Station and when coming out of the gate near the cross- ing Mr. Noble came along. The latter was forced to halt his car until the defendant got across the road and when attempting to pass him a few feet south of the railroad crossing one of Ball’s horses became frightened and kicked, damaging the car as stated.

This was due to some extent owing to many who were entitled years ago to the grant not having heard of it until recently. Those Entitled to Grant The public sometimes gathered er- roneous ideas of the workings of the Act and oftentimes were not aware of the requirements to receive the grant. .Grants were given to ' widows, to those who had been deserted by their hus- bands and nothing had been heard of them for a period of five years, foster mothers, but not to widows with only. one child. The Mothers’ Allowance Act was costing the province from $6,000 to $7,000 a day, and the amount was increasing faster than the popular _There had naturally been cases where unscrupulous mothers had at- tempted to send some of her child- ren out to work and also collect the grant, but the introduction of a card system had pretty well put a stop to this practice. Now the mother was required to send in a card monthly showing the number of days each child attended school, and this card had to be signed by the principal of the school. A Graded Scale The amount to be paid under the Act _ diflered. To secure aid a mother had to have two children under 16 years of age. The maximum paid her was $30 a month in the country dis- tricts, $35 in towns and $40 in cities. The difference in living conditions made the graded scale necessary. A mother received $5 a month for each additional order that each child receive a proper education, it was required by law that no child not attending school could receive any benefits. Hearst Government in 1918 to formu- late the plan of assistance to those, especially the mothers and children, which finally led to the Mothers’ Al- lowance fund. The Hearst adminis- tration was defeated when the Drury Government went into power, but they had carried on the work and worked ,out a good many of the details which, gin turn, had been further worked out and perfected by the Ferguson Gov- ernment since 1923. The Commission consists of five members. 0f the five, two must be women. Assisting these were local boards of five in every county or larger city, who worked without pay and have a secretary and a president elected from amongst the members. Amongst the improvements in the administration as the 'Act be-' came better known were the additions of investigators, usually trained nurses, who visited the homes seeking aid, ob- tained their family history, their fin- ancial standing and other informa- tion and reported to the head office in Toronto. These nurses did good work and the administration of the Act could not be successfully carried on without them.

The work of the Commission ap- pointed to carry on the work of the Mothers’ Allowance Board was most fully dealt with by Hon. Dr. D. Jam- ieson, the chairman, and the man re- sponsible for the success of the work, at a gathering held in Knox church Tuesday night under the auspices of the Men's Club of the church.

The marking with the exception of the 28 was horizont- al, while the latter was vertical. Mrs. Hamilton informed us of her capture and asked what the markings might stand for and if we knew the probable home of the bird, but we had to con- fess complete ignorance. On Saturday morning Mrs. J. C. Hamilton of Glenelg found a stray pigeon in the oat box at the barn and captured it. The bird appeared very hungry and tame and was easily cap- tured. The pigeon on examination was president of the club, presided. In his address on Tuesday night he indulged in no oratory. He told his story in his own simple manner, but behind this manner was a sincerity that was unmistakeable. His story of the work of the Commission has done more than he knows in furthering its aims in this community and many who possibly entertained the idea previous- ly that the Mothers’ Allowance Com- mission was a Government hobby went away knowing that they had been mistaken and had misjudged one of the best and farthest-reaching of Ontario’s charities. At the close of the address a vote of thanks was moved the speaker by Mr. J. A. Rowland, seconded by Mr. W. R. Alder, and heartily concurred in by the audience.
