The letter and the order which accompanied it stated plainly that the company fully guaranteed their product, and the inference was there at any rate that the user was to be the sole judge of the merits of their product.

He had notified the company that} 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. , In this case defendant produced let- ters and order form in which the paint company had agreed to send him any paint required with which to repair his roof, he was to give it a four-months’ trial, and if unsatisfac- tory it would cost him nothing. Grant of Walkerton was acting for ?the plaintiff and had asked for an ad- ‘journment owing to the defendant being ill and unable to attend and also that the court was sitting in Walker- ton on the same day. Judge Suther- land decided to take the evidence of the plaintiff and witnesses, but as the case progressed ruled that the plain,- tiff had no action and that sufficient evidence had been heard to warrant him in dismissing the case. Sued For Paint Account The only other action was that of the Franklin Paint Co. of Cleveland; Ohio, for paint shipped to D. M.j Saunders of Durham and for which he refused to settle. 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. The first case was an action by Fred Noble of Egremont against George J. Ball of Normanby for damages to his car when one of Ball’s horses kicked at it, damaged a fender and broke one of the lights. The accident occurred at the Allan Park crossing of the CP. 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. Division Court was held here Tues- day morning, His Honor, Judge Suth- erland, presiding. While there were several cases on the books, only two were given a hearing, the rest being adjourned to future sittings. Only Two Cases Before Presid Judge and Both Were Dismissed. Division Court Was Held Tuesday of which is paid by the county. In the whole province there was only one instance on record where any munici- pality complained of having to pay.

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’ Allowancei 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. ', . 1929 A Graded Scale The amount to be paid under the Act differed. 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. iin turn, had been further worked out and perfected by the Ferguson Gov- ernment since 1923. The Commission consists of five members. Of 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. It was this feeling that led the Hearst Government in 1918 to formu- late the plan of assistance to those, especially the mothers and children, which finally led to the Mothers’ A1- 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, Should Do Our Duty It is the duty of those of us upon whom fortune has smiled to do some- thing for those poor unfortunates who have sunk into poverty, and Dr. Jam- ieson thought it would be no credit to Ontario were her poor to be allowed to shift for themselvs when there was so much wealth in evidence. the general taxpayer as had been ari- ticipated. had always been a preponderance of poverty as well. “Progress and poverty go hand in hand,” said the speaker, and it has always been the case that where there was a preponderance of wealth there Dr. Jamleson commenced his ad- dress by referring back to 1918, when, at the close of the war, there were many who thought that our war debt of two and a half billions of dollars The work or the Commission ap- pointed to carry on the work of the Mothers’ Allowance Board was most fully dealt with by Hon.

Mrs. Hamilton has released the bird and it will be in- teresting to know whether it continues its journey or remains at its new home. On Saturday morning Mrs. J. C.

The pigeon on examination was found to be branded, and marked “A. V. 28 04.719”. 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.
