A couple of weeks ago we referred to a dance at Woodford where swamp whiskey was found by In- ’ specter Beckett in a rig belonging to Harvey Burns. At the police court in Owen Sound on Friday last Burns pleaded guilty to the charge and was fined $200 and costs. VOL. Staâ€"N0. 2905. Wm om firming. Mr. Alex.

Thursday afternoons will be the. uummer half holiday for Durham merchants during the 1923 season. This was the decision arrived at last Thursday evening at a meeting in McLachlan‘s store, and it was carried unanimously. This summer, howâ€" ever. the stores will be open every Wednesday night in an effort to ac- commodate the surrounding country and make their shepping as easy as possible. That it may be also made as pleasant as possible, the Band will give a band concert Wednesday ev- ening. As the Band has been reorgan- lzed and is now being run jointly by the Town Council and Furniture Company. who will see that it is properly financed. this musical instiâ€" tution will now prosper as never beâ€" fore and a summer series of first- class concerts can safely be predict- ed. It is to be hoped the surround- ing territory will appreciate this move on the part of the band and cit- izens and take at least one night a week on for enjoyment that will cost them little or nothing. ‘ lil'vsomt‘. Hotel In Died Suddenly. Mr. E. E. Lyne, manager of the Queen‘s Hotel at Midland. passed away very suddenly on Wednesday morning of last week. He was about 70 years of age and according to published reports was born at New- market. He was a son of the late Henry Lyne. who kept store in Clarksburg over 50 years ago. The, deceased, we believe, kept hotel for; a time in Clarksburg and was after-! wards for years manager of the: Globe Hotel in Collingwood, where he was well and favorably known to the travelling public. Only a few days before his death his daughter, Miss Marguerite, left on a trip to California, going by way of Winniâ€" peg. An eflort was made to inter- cept her at Winnipeg, but the mes- sage did not reach her till she got to Melville, where she stated in reply that the train was snowbonnd and ‘rhe Chronicle attended private school together for a short time when boys. Interment was mndo in NEWS AROUND TOWN ! Died at Winchum. Mr. George Thompson received word on Saturday night that his mother, Mrs. James Thompson, had died that morning at his old home at Winchester, near Kingston. She was 86 years of age. As the funeral was held on Monday afternoon, it was imâ€" possible for Mr.’ Thompson to make train connections and arrive in time for the obsequies.

Dr. Jamieson’s prOperty fl at the Lake has been more than once in the spotlight and there are few in this locality who do not now know that he is a reforestation advocate and is practising what he believes to be the right thing. Since acquiring the property he has planted out in the neighborhod or five thousand trees and this spring will see him hard at it putting in three thousand more. The doctor’s original application was for ten thousand pine trees but he has been informed that his allotment has been cut to three thousand, or, if possible as many more as can be spared; Needless to say the doctor is proud of his pine forest in the making and never loses interest in his scheme to make the old Wilder’s Lake property both a reforestation area but a bird and game sanctuary as well.

HAWAII NEEDS BIRDS 'l‘he importation of birds has been resorted to in Hawaii in an attempt. to check the ravages of the horn-fly and the cntworms. Four species have been apprm'ml and now the dif- ficult and expensive task of catching the birds in other parts of the world and transporting them to the island is troubling the authorities. Meadow and pewee lurks, the straw-necked ibis and the shepherdâ€"bird are wanted. The greatest of precauâ€" tions are said to have been taken that no imported birds may prove a menace in coming time. A widely-known business or- ganization sent out to certain of its correspondents a copy of the Ten Commandments. One of them wrote back and said : Hawaii is disgracefully plundered of once abundant bird life. The fea- ther pirates raided this “Paradise of the Pacific” and left her poor indeed. Presentâ€"day Hawaiians know that the absence of birds means an uncon- trollable host of insect pests; that a country without birds is unflt for human habitation. It will be a dit- flcult and costly undertaking to res- tore nature’s balance in Hawaii and restocl; the territory with alien birds. Meanwhile, the preservation of our Canadian birds should be the object of every citizen in the Dom- inion. “This is one of the best things I haw ever seen. Where did you gotit?” THE 121! GOIILNDIENTS GOOD PMZBS mm: OFFERED AT LAST HIGHS MIVLL The carnival in the rink last night is pronounced as one or the best that was ever held here, at least from two or three angles. To start with, the prizes were of a superior quality to any ever before put on at a simi- lar event. The races, too, were the best seen here in a good many years and with the exception of the lady’s race were all well filled and keenlyl contested, furnishing many thrills for the spectators. The attendance, however, was not so large as in pre- vious events, although this may be attributed mostly. to the prevailing epidemic of colds and flu and also to the condition of the roads. The :maskers, too, though there were plenty of them on the ice, seemed loath to enter in some of the events and as a result some of the classes offering the best prizes were unfill- ed. « Taken altogether, however, it. must. be said that the carnival was a sucâ€" cess when considered from every standpoint. The next carnival vyill be held the second week in March, the date of which will possibly be Friday, the 8th. This will be the last of the season and should draw a bumper attendance and also a full quota of maskers. Following is the prize list as awarded last night : Fancy.--Lady, Frances Hopkins; Gent” J.

The Band was also advertised to he ’ present, but with the exception of,- mm tune, they were conspicuous by; their anence. The Band, like all thef rest. of us, have their troubles, and as several of their members were laid up with colds, and a. COUple Oi" others away. it was found impossible j to carry on successfully. It is hep-j ed, however, that they will be intact by the time the next carnival is pulledeff and will furnish a good: pm‘gram. i Piper William Troy of Orchard, was there with his pipes and fur- nished a good program that was enâ€" joyed by all. EGREHONT TRUSTEBS’ ASS'N Rev. Mr. Bell of the Department of Education addressed a meeting of the Egremont Trustees’ and Ratepay- eds’ Association in the Public school, Holstein, on Friday, February 16. Of fill the problems, church, political, social, or educational that confront us tO-day, he said that the educa- tional one was undoubtedly the greatest. Those living in the coun- try have not had the same Opportun-- ities in educational lines as those in the city but the time is coming when we may and the question is, Will we accept it?" The school should be an all-round preparation for life. Where there is life there is gowth. There has not been much growth In the Public schools in the country‘ al- though everything has grown. He pointed out how education has brought power to individuals and nations, illustrating from Denmark. Japan, Scotland, New Zealand. Mr. Bell led in round table con- ferencc when many questions were discussed. The Association expects Dr. Phair from the Department to lecture on Health Inspection some time x in March. Miss lo.
