Remembered by Employee: Mr Pete Gagnon, manager ot the Durham Furniture Co., received an agreeable Christmas surprise last week, from the employees of the F'ur. niture Co,, which took the shape of a handsome leather roll, containing a complete travelling outfit in ebony. It is needless to say that the gift as well as the spirit of the affair was appreciated by the recipient. Dr. Alex. Boll, Glonolg’o M. O. H. . The new Medical Health omcer for the Township of Glenelg for 1925. is Dr. Alex. M Bell. The past year the term of the late Dr. Hutton has been completed by Dr's Jamieson and Smith. While the position carries re- sponsibility. the amount of work at. tached ls not excessive in an ordinary year. However should an epidemic arise in the township. the young doe tor will doubtless earn his salary ot $150 many times over. Where the Churches Got Together The well-earned holiday which Dr Grenfell is now taking revives witha church union story connected with his work in Labrador. A letter in Boston Congregationalist desiring an artificial limb for one of his patients was answered try a Baptist lady, her- self the widow of a Methodist, who am! a leg that her deceased husband had lo-I't behind. "Thus," said Dr. Grenfell. "an Episcopalian doctor has secured from a Baptist for a Roman Boy Scouts Appreciative On Tuesday evening of last week, Mr. and Mrs C. C.

The firgt two did hot qualify, so the latter three are re-elected. Mr Allan Bell had approached thrpe of his follow councillors and when they stated they were not standing ho was in the field for Mayor. However since Mr Murdock now desired to run he would not oppose him. Mr Jno. Snell was voted to the chair and first called up on the retir- ing Mayor, Dr J. L. Smith. He was pleased to see such a large attend- ance of the ratepayers. In several ways our town could be eongratulat. ed: our debenture debt was going down, good tire protection had been provided, our factories had been air le to run full time this year.' The Hodtict1ltural Society were making a beauty spot of Federal Square and he likewise hoped to see Memorial Park beautified. He had served two years as Mayor and three in Council and would now retire. . Mr J. N. Murdock had no intention or running, but so many had pressed him, that he had changed his mind. He had served 8 years in Council un- der 5 mayors. There was no money in the Mayoralty, and it' any honor, he felt he was entitled to it, and if elected would give his beat service.

Two bridges had been built, the Anderson bridge, costing in all $5476, and Pomona costing $2000. Both were needed, and the second was proceed- ed with because it was done so much cheaper. 34000 was borrowed to pay for Anderson's bridge and 51990 is owing on Pomona one. He didn't think it good policy to pay all in one year, so debentures were being issued for $5000 for 5 years. repaying " $1000 and interest annually. Those running for ot11ce are : Rm-vo ---Arch MoCualg, Wm Weir. Council --Alex, Aljoe, T. J. Brodie, Malcolm Black, J.J Black, John McGrath, Jno. McKechnle (4 to be elected.) Jno O' Neil and Geo. K. Peart were also nominated but withdrew. With a 40 per cent increase in ass't there were but 20 appeals and only 1 was lowered. He was again a candi- date : until now, he and MeCuaig had given each other a two year term : Mr McCualg must think time is too short to allow this now. Kx-reeve McCualg was not present, With badly filled-in roads and 29m weather, only fUty electors attend-d Glenelg nominations in Township Hull on Monday. There was little excite- ment, statute labor and new bridgus forming the chief discussions. and Conn. Mal. Black next called up- on, gave a resume of work done in his division. Court. Thus J. Brodie came 8 miles on snowahoes. He told of his divis- ion expenditures and was decidedly against abolishing statute labor. He believed in a through outlet for Coun- ty roads, advocating a continuation of the 10th con. through to Garafraxa. The chairman contended high tar- or: was driving young men out of the township. His had increased from MS to $50 odd in 19 years. Conn. Al. ex Aljoe said his had mounted from its to $110 in 10 years. Mr Aljoe had spent $551.20 in his ward, and be lieved ratepayers should do mon- gratuituous work in keeping winter roads open. If no statute labor this year, the 30 per cent gov't grant would have been $3000. Coun. McGrath had spent only 8432. 30 in Ward 2 .and thought dragging roads toolishly spent money. Too much money was spent in winter work and the wire fence by law should be amended. Weir and McCuaig Again Contest Glenelg Reeveship The new issue of 1925 auto mark- ers for Ontario are Just the reverse in color to those in use this year. The numbers are yellow on a black background. The size and style is identical with the 1924 platus. Mr Edwards from his 29 years ex- perience as auditor, gave some Tp. statistics. He was proud ot old Glen- elg and the Council's record. and stat- ed better statute labor had been done the last three years than ever before. The Reeve rpsumed the platform to read a. paper on the workings of the new Gov't road system in Tp of Yar- mouth, which were decidedly satis- factory there. Mr Geo. Binnie said statute labor question didn't interest him till grant was cut ott. He favored abolishing it, and with everything un- der council control, roads would be more of sum? standard all over town- ship. Mr John McGirr also upheld abolishing statute labor and Mr Brod- le again spoke a few minutes against its abolition. New Geese and Duck feathers wax:- ted. Highest prices paid. - Robt.
