He is an old timer of the West, having come to Western Canada yearsa go and after a. short stay, re. turning East for a while. then mow in: westward again. and anchored; himself on the prairies for good. For the last number of years Mr. Burnett hos specialized on telephone contracting work and has made good at it. He formerly belonged to Dur- ham where he received his schooling and later went into business. For a sfew years he taught school, having 'ttttMed the destiny of the old Brick *School. two miles north of Dornoch. .He knew North Bottleiord in the iearly years.

Dufferin and Grey Counties. impressed upon the township omeials the. necessity of having some definite program in view and urged them to get away from the old hit and miss system, which nev- er got them my place, and suggest- ed that their program cover a period of years. He also suggested to them that they inaugurate an organized system ot patrol work, as it was on- ly by such a system that the roads could be properly and adequately maintained. He outlined the duties of the townshp omcials with regard to the details of the work. how to keep in touch with the work, keep an accurate account of all the ex- penditures, etc.. and how to malt-n their annual returns to the Dept. of Highways at Toronto. He said that the Dist. Engineers mould spend a great deal ot their time this year in getting the town- ships started on this work and that his services would be available any time they were wanted. Pamphlets will be issued trom time to time from the triT.ices of the Department, in or. der that all may be kept in touch with what was going on, and full ire stmctlons would lie given in them. New Body Truck Factory will be Kept Busy To I reprmouttttiro gathering or municipal omeera, (Reeves, Council- lors, Clerks, Treasurers and Road Supts.) of Bentlnck. Glenelg and Eg- remont Townships. also others into terested in road improvement, Mr J. H. Dawes. District Engineer of the Dept. ot Public Highways, Toronto, gave tt half hour address in the Lib- rary on Wednesday afternoon, main. ly explaining the Government's plans and requirements tor township road work, in tho townships where stat- ute labor had been abolished. Such townships receive a. 30 per cent gov- ernment grant and Bentlnck being the only township thus qualifying, his address was more timely to its representatives than to those from other townships. ' As some ratepayers in townships which voted to retain statute labor believed tho former 20 per cent gov- ernment grant would be continued, Mr Hawes made it clear that this was now entirely out oft. A munici- pal council may yet vote to abolish statute labor, but it is unlikely Glen- elg or Egremont would do so after the adverse vote ot the ratepayers. The Voker Bodies, Ltd., are got- ting well squared away in their new factory here and now have about a dozen men at work on machines al. ready in the building. New machin. ery is yet to arrive. The manage- ment are also repainting two or three local can. Discussed Township Road Building Problems All truck bodies are made piece/ meal and assembled on somewhat the same principle as cars in the large factories. For some orders shipment is made knock-down. to be assembled at destination. Mr J. F. Parker, one or the members of the firm, is now here to look after the production end and Mr A. Forsyth, another of the firm, is also here at present. Mr Parker assured the Re. view that both the Toronto factory and local one would be rushed turn- ing out orders now on hand and more large ones were anticipated. In a couple months they hope to have forty to titty employees on the pay roll. . It is the intention later to build a switch line from the C. N. R. track south of the river, direct to the tae. tory. The bulking here is a little larger than the Toronto factory, and considerable remodelling of the im terior has been done. MR6. JOHN WELLS in tho death of Mrs John Wells. who passed away Friday last at Dur- ham Red Cross Hospital, one of the early residents and pioneers of the district passed "over," at the age of I 74 years. For the past seven months] Mrs Wells has been an inmate of the hospital where she was tenderly car- ed for by matron and nurses. About two weeks ago she sum-red a. fall” hurting her leg somewhat, sad it itr thought was instrumental in hasten- ing her death. I Deceased's maiden name was Mar- garet Charlton. born in Weston. and daughter of Mr and Mrs Jae. Cheri- toh. When quite young she married Mr John Wells, and the greaterpart ot her married life has been spent in (i'id'iidi'r' Tp., where she raised a family ot eight children. seven of [whom are living and respected to day.

Mrs Trattord, Chos- ley; Wm., Thos. and Miss Eliza Walker. Sullivan; Wm. Corlett, Sul~ llvan. The sons and daughters were also all present with the exception of the son Will. The Review wishes to add its m0as uro or condolenCe to the family. Word has come toer John Me. Queen of town. of the death in Mit- don, Sash. of Miss Ada Wilson, youngest daughter ot Mrs Noble Wilson, formerly ot Boothville. Do. ceased young lady has been in ling- ering health for some time and her death while a cruel separation to her people. was a happy release for her. She was about 25 years of age. or a large family ot brothers and sisters. she is the eighth to pass a- way from the same trouble. With her sorrowing mother, there also re- main {our brothers and one sister to, mourn her demise, viz; James, V thur, Jack, Joe and Lizzie (Mrs Geo. Lawrence.) The funeral was held Monday from the home or her son John in Bere tinck, and a. large concourse of old friends and neighbors gathered ttt pay the last respect to the departed.) Rev. J. E. Peters conducted the burr' ial service at house and grave, the; pan bearers being the three brothers i and three sons of deceased, James, Robert and John. Lacrosse to be Revived Here The Review wishes to add its sym- pathy to that ot the many old friends, in Egremont. who wlll mourn own- the demise of this young lady. Also three brothers and one sister survive Mrs Wells, viz; John and Robert Charlton ot Chatham; James Charlton of Bentinck and Mrs Chas. Trattord, Cheater. The snow's disappearance and mild weather recently has inclined the thoughts of Durham sport-loving fraternity to summer sports. and there is a strong desire to see. la- crosse ro-established here. Last year Durham players Joined with the two Hanover teams. Seven of them were the backbone of the Hanover Jun- iors, and they were good enough to reach the O.A.L.A. finttltt. Harry Stevens, Chesley); Mugme, (Mrs Dawson, Toronto); Junes. of Hanover; Carrie, (Mrs Swift, Hano- ver); John in Bentinck; Robert in Durham and Will in Cruk. Sula. Another son Alex., gave his life tor Freedom's sake in the Great War. These last year's Juniors along| with some of the stalwarts or sever- al years ago, who carted Durham into the semi-finals, should round out an excellent Intermediate team. No steps have yet been taken towards organization, but a meeting should‘ be called before Good Friday, whcnl the annual o. A. L. A. meeting takesl place. Last year no one was suma- iently interested to take up the man-l agement, with the result that lacrosse‘ was left to slide. and the local tans had to ftivpr elsewhere to witnas‘ the games. This condition may be avoided by early organization. I Another promising outlook is tho organization ot a local Juvenile team. There are plenty of lads in town be- tween 14 and 18 to form an aggres- sive line up and a few subs. as well. Some are already out with sticks getting into shape. Among tho pros- 1pects are Martin Lauder, Bill Wilson lBill MeClymont, Fred Vollet. Clar- lence Elvidge. Leonard McComb. os. Icar Moon, Alvin Snell and others not Iin mind " present. All the lads re Iquire in management and some older players to coach and develop them. Walkerton is entering Juvenile and Midget teams. Dr Lynn Grant, in Durham boy, is taking an active in- tterest in reviving the game there. lHanover will doubtless, have teams watered in all the series as usual. Robl. Wilson Has a Nasty Crushed Hand While assisting at a. sawing at Mr. Wm. Pinnittan't' on the Gravel Road. Mr Robt.
