Sudbury had a record-breaking snow-storm, and a complete tie-up of street car and train trafl'iCxTwen- ty inches of snow fell on Monday“ followed by ten inches on Tuesday. when there was over 70 inches of snow on the ground. The situation is unprecedented for this time of the year. A dispatch from Sault Ste- Marie on Monday of this week says' that another foot of snow was added to {our feet already filled up the day and night. previous. Being accom- panied ’by a high wind, it drifted badly. \Roads and streets outside of the main thoroughfare, from which quantities of snow have been re- moved, are now." on a level with the fences. The street-cars were dug out again and were running. and with the wind still blowing the mercury is reported falling fast.

When a sufficient number have signed up further in- formation will be given and definite action taken. The compan) “e we in communi- cation With is not asking fo1 favors but before takng any further action must be satisfied that plenty of fe- male help is immediately available. To find this out is the that step and must be ascertained at once. ‘ From sixty to a' hundred persons will be required in a very short time, but for the first couple of months twenty-five to thirty will be sufficient. Are there thirty or forty women in this locality ready to give their services? It so. we. want their names and the answers to the Questionnaire to be filled in at this office. I The assurance that plenty of feâ€" male help can be secured and,main- tained is the only barrier in the way and to overcome that and find out exactly where we stand we have been instructed to open a,'list and receive names of women and girls ready to accept empIOyment at re- munerative wages. Weare not going to give away in- formation, more than to say that an industry similar to those now in operation in Hanover and Mount Forest, engaged in the manufacture of men’s wearing apparel, is in a position to locate here and have it going. in the course of a very few weeks.

ENTRANCE TO NOMAL ON PRI‘NCIPAL'S REPORT The Minister of Education has is- sued a circular’respecting the lower school examinations to be held in ' June. In the case of the lower l school examinations the Minister has made a very important change which will reduce materially the. pressure for examinations. He has decided that pupils in attendance at any collegiate institute, high school or continuation school will be grant- ed lower school standing for en- trance into the normal schools on the reports of their principals. In order to be entitled to credit in any sub- ject. a pupil in a collegiate institute, high school or continuation school ' shall have completed the prescribed course of study in that subject and . shall have passed comprehensiqe . tests conducted by the teacher or the 1 subject with a standing of at least 50 ! per cent. of the aggregate marks as- . signed to the, subject in all the 1 tests of the school year and shall : cover the whole course of study. ,1 In addition to the needed prepara- tions an additional teacher will have to he provided and the Board is to be commended for promptness in; grappling with the situation. With' eight teachers in the Public school and four in the High school it would seem in a town the size of Durham that the rising generation has good educational facilities, yet we must throw out a warning that it will not‘ be long till further school aerommo-l dation will be needed. Fortunately, the Public school building has night rooms and the Board is losing no time in fitting up ’thv extra room and expect to have vwrything in roadiness by the first of May. PUBLIC SCHOOL 18 CROWDED; NEW TEACHER TO BE ENGAGED On re-opening of the Public school here on Monday, the influx of begin- ners was So great that over thirty had to be rejected for want of ac- rommmlation. While the attendance has always been good and the seven rooms have been fairly well tilled, there. never was any shortage of ac- commodation since the establish- ment of the High school in a build- ing by itself. , Among the first pieces of business to be tackled by the committee is the matter of an early cleaning out of the ditches, at least on the main street and the oiling thereof, and also getting the town into proper shape for the inspection of he sum- mer tourist trade which will soon be on the move. The committee will also deal with several matters affect- ing the business life of the town. The following ofl'icers were elect- ed: President, T. M. McFadden; Secretary-Treasurer, J. H. Harding; Executive Committee: J. S. Mell- raith, J. MeKechnie, Jr.. J. A.‘ Mc- Lachl'an, J. Levine. The object of the meeting was to form a local Business Men's Associa- tion that Would include every man in business in the town, every man .or woman in the town who is inter- ‘ested in it, and any from the sur- rounding townships who have the welfare of their community at heart. The object of the Association is to work in conjunction with other. municipal bodies or societies for the town’s welfare and its platform is to. be such that there is absolutely noT excuse, for anyone interested in Dur- ham or vicinity holding back. All should become- members and “boost the community 'you live in.” ’ N um“ 3:13qu “mum GOOD “MING HONDA! A meeting of the business men was held in the Veterans” Star Theatre on Monday evening and was well at- tended.
