Holm Elected in Normanby There were three in the running for ":19 reeveship of Normanby. Messrs. Chas. Holm. last year‘s head. Andrew Schenk and A. Ovens. Last year Holrn .md Schenk contested the township and the former won out by ,one vote. This year in a three-cornered contest Holin was 153 votes ahead of his last year’s opponent. with Albert Ovens running a poor third. There was quite a rivalry among the Holm and Schenk elements in the township and from the first it. was expected they were the two to reckon with. the candidacy of Ovens not. being taken very seriously. Henry Seim went into the deputy’s chair by acclamation when A. Filsinger, his op- ponent. decided to withdraw and run for the Council. In a ticket of five, with three to be elected, Con. Baetz, John Aitken and J. Hoph were return- ed. with F’ilsinger 46 votes behind the lowest elected member. 8am Koenig polled only 166 votes and was 149 be- hind I-‘ilsinger.

It is generally the im- pression that the vote was a censure on last year’s council and the only reason for the defeat of C. H. Moflat, one oi the newcomes, was that there were too many running in his immedate vicinity to elect them all. 01 the nine in the contest, seven were from the West Ward, and six of them in close proxim- ity to each other.

Howell and McLean, were defeated. almulders of the 1929 body, but there is :1!) reason to fear it cannot rise to any :mnands that may come in front of it, 'lmugh it is hardly possible that they will slip through the whole year and gleam everybody.

The deceased was about town in the afternoon in company with his wife and went home first, his wife follow- ing somewhat later.

Successful in winning their game at Suva, the cap ital of the Fiji Islands, the Canadians went down to defeat at Auckland when the New Zealanders got hold of them. As these latter are con- sidered the best bowlers in the world and on their tour through Canada cleaned up on nearly every rink with which they played, the Canadians while outclassed need not feel disgracedin getting the, small end of the score. run.

He handled through manifest freight trains between Sarnia and To- ronto until 1916, when he entered -the passenger service, running out of Pet- rolia. In 1919 he- was transferred to the Stratford Division, and since 1926 has been on the Goderich-Toronto run.

Wilson; centre, McGirr; r. wing, Elvidge; l. wing, Buschlen; subs. Kress, McIlraith. Rowe. Durham tried the experiment of sub- bing the whole forward line at once, and it seemd to work well. The re- .liefs, with Kress at centre and Rowe and McIlraith on the wings worked well together and were equally effective with the regular forwards. Nuhn was easily the star for Markdale being in on practically every play made. Mc- Crutcheon _on the_ wing and Johnston on the defense also made themselves felt and Noble and Perkins as subs did not seem to weaken the team any when on the ice. Kelly tended the nets in the first period, but was replaced by Wright for the remaining two sessions. Bob Saunders of Durham handled the bell and handed out three penal- ties, one to Singleton in the first period for spilling Wilson in the water, and one to McGirr and another to Singleton in the third for illegal checking. On the whole the game was cleanly played, body checking being conspicu- ously absent. On hard ice we would say ' these two teams were well matched, and look forward to seeing gram play again under better condi- one. CONDUCTOR W. C. TIPPET HONORED ON RETIREMENT The game consisted mostly of one and two man rushes, combination being ignpocsible owing to __the condition of the ice. Carrying the puck at any speed was also diflicult and the play was much slower than usual. The score does not indicate the play how- ever, for while Durham had the best of the first period, Markdale came back in the second and third and had a good edge on the second and a small one on the third. They tested Mc- Donald with long shots from every. angle, all of which he handled per-l fectly. The two that beat him were shots from close in, one an unassisted play by Nuhn, from a face off and the other a combination between Nuhn and Singleton. Before the game was over practically every player was soaked although in the last period the water had been fairly well cleaned ofl. In a recent latte; frgm' our qu f_r_1_end, Refereeâ€"R.

The address was read by Master Wallace Matthews and the presentation made by Master Ray Adams. Miss Mervyn resigned to take charge of a school near Drayton, and her position at No. 12 has been taken by Miss Emily Hunt of Durham. Following is the address; To Miss Mervyn . Dear Teacher: It is with regret that we have learned that you are leaving our school. You have been with us for three and one half years; many of us have known no other teacher and it will be strange indeed not to have you here.

Two newspapermen and Tom Stevenson were chosen as Judges. The trio viewed proceedings from dif- ferent sections of the Arenaâ€"and all three chose little Marty Lauder, bril- liant left-winger, as the winner. Lauder richly deserved the coin. He was the best player on the ice going and coming. He played unselfishly, combining admirably, usually drove a hot shot at Bill Taugher, Buffalo’s sterling goaler, and checked back in such persistent style that the visitors couldn’t get their smooth team-play working effectively while he was on duty. And, to top off a sensational evening’s work, Marty skated through the entire Buffalo team in the last period to score the goal that put the Hams in front by 3 to 2.

A year ago last fall he was forced to give up farming. and on the disposal of his farm stock and implements came to Durham to live, subsequently taking a trip to the West last June in the hope that his health would improve. He was a son of the late James and Mrs. Whitmore, was a most popular young man, and his death is. deeply regretted by many friends and relatives.

The late Mr. Williams was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. C. Williams of Glenelg and was born near Edge Hill. He lived with his arents until about 18 years of age w en he went to work on the railroad and for several years followed this employment in different parts of the country. He subsequently moved to Bridgeburg where he spent several years as yard foreman with the Michigan Central. Later he moved to Niagara Falls and was for 18 years on the police force at Victoria Park, retiring six years ago. No word has been received of th particulars of his death but it is thought by relatives here that he died suddenly, probably from heart failure.

Final estimates of the tourist influx during 1029 indicate that the record in- vasion of 1028 was bettered during the current year. No less than 12,000,000 motorists are reputed to have come to Canada this year, riding in 3,700,000 automobiles. How important is this vast army to the Dominion may be judged by the immense sums left in this country.

There are to be five large, high windows along the south side, with the entrance and four windows of similar size in the front, the manager oifice is to be considerably larger than in the old building, and altogether we are told that the new home of the Bank of Commerce is to be one of the finest buildings anywhere in a town the size of Durham. During the holiday season the public of Durham had the opportunity of at- tending two good dance programs and they took full advantage of it. On December 26 the Daughters of the Empire held forth in the town hall. and on New Year’s night under the auspices of the Red Cross Hospital another fine assembly was held in the Durham Furniture Co. show room. Large crowds turned out for both dances. The local BluBell orchestra supplied the music for the former and the Wingham orchestra for the latter. To the north of the'bank building on Garafraxa street is a lot with 28 feet frontage and it was at one time the intention to erect a store building here, but this plan has been abandoned for the present though it may later be taken up or the lot sold. for building purposes. mmmm 1110dequ TWO GOOD DANCES nuuu ay b83501! bile puuuc ad the opportunity of nt- good dance programs and 111 advantage of it.
