So far the weather has not been such as to permit of the work being done. but last week the big scarifler was sent up and has been busy between here and Mount Forest.

Do not let petty things bother you; smile even if someone does hurt you a little. Look on the bright side of life. Mrs. Towriss concluded her’ excellent address by saying that Unity in the Community depended on the women to be in unity with the Divine. The . Mrs. Towriss’- address was on “Unity in the Community”. To make her ad- dress more interesting and easily un- derstood she made use of a small blackboard for illustration purposes. She explained that the Institute did not necessarily belong to any church. but tried to bring them all together into one body. In her illustration by dividing the word Comm-Unity, we have the last part of the word making Unity. The larger part of the word community makes unity, which means that in every community the majority must be united before they can accomplish very much. The main thing in life that counts is unity. Mrs. Towriss told the little story of the father with the sons who were always quarreling and to teach them a lesson he tied a bundle of six sticks together and told each of them to try to break it, but none of them succeeded. He then took the bundle apart and gave each of them one stick to break which they did easily enough, thus showmg that in union there is strength, whether in community or work. A community united- accomplishes wonders, and div- ided accomplishes practically nothing. Take the «very ending of ~ the word unity “ty”â€"to speak this word is “tie” meaning to bind. If we bind our dif- ferent ideas together, the commuity as L_‘__ the remaining letters “uni” of the word Unity and they make “you and I” which it takes to complete any community.

Mr. McKinnon is a brother of Charles McKinnon of Bas- sano, Alberta. whose wife is a daughter of Mr. J. P. Hunter of Durham. Very little is known of the circum- stances surrounding the burglary. The garage was not open on Sunday, but members of the firm were there up to some time after 10 o’clock at night and the theft was discovered about 7 o’clock Monday morning by one of the employees who came down to open up. A rather unusual feature is that no tires, which generally are taken, were removed from their storage, but the entire stock of spark plugs and all the Ford car parts were loaded up and taken. It is thought the robbers may have had only a closed car with them and could not handle the tires, but as no clues have been picked up there may be difficulty in establishing their identity. _ TEN DOG OWNERS SUMMONED T0 COURT The Smith Bros. garage at Mount Forest was entered late Sunday night or early Monday morning last and goods to the value of between $1,500 and $2,000 taken. So far there is no clue, but the Provincial police _ from Guelph have the case in hand and may be successful in bringing the guilty parties to justice. On Sunday, May 11, at the Wesley United church, Calgary, Alberta, a pleasing ceremony took place when a' newly-erected gallery in the church was; dedicated to the pioneer mothers of Southern Alberta. The dedicatioh or the gallery was of paramount interest to Southern Albertans; but it will be of much interest to residents of South Grey to learn that the funds necessary for its erection were the gift or Mr. Lachlan McKinnon, a former resident of Priceville. and a cousin of Mrs. Burgess and the Weir families here. _ LL - “AA“A-‘ ‘t‘. ‘tflV‘n The thieves evidently gained entrance by way of the front door, picking the lock and sacking up the repair parts and the spark plugs.
