DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOL Over the Top Lizzie Schaefer, Teacher Che AQurhaom Revier | _ Dr. A. M. Bell, Medical Officer of Health, presented a concise reportl. 'The Provincial Board of Health had | adopted a new system of sending out | questionaire forms as to information twanted, and much they asked did not affect small towns like Durham. The | medi¢al year ends Oct. 31st. _ With | a population of 1627 by assessor‘s | census, there were 29 deaths during ithe year, an average of 17.8 per |1000, whereas the Provincial averâ€" | age was only 10.8. There were 23 | births, an average of 14.1 per 1000, [while the Provincial average is 23.3 | per 1000. . As far as known, there | were eight cases of scarlet fever, but : no deaths. l On Tuesday the Grand Jury comâ€" mitted her for trial Wednesday, and | the hearing @Wened at 10 a.m., with | Crown Attorney Dyre in charge of | the prosecution, while Barrister H. G. ‘ Tucker of Owen Sound, defended Miss | Knisley. Quite a number from Durâ€" | ham were present, several of whom | gave character testimony. Witnesses xtalled by the prosecution were Mr. | and Mrs. Ernest McDonald, Mr Frank |Irwin, Postmaster Smith, Miss Kate Ritchie of the local staff, Mr. Eddie McQueen of Windsor, who was on Durham staff the time the cards were sent, Post Office Inspector May, Conâ€" stable Jones and a hand writing exâ€" pert, Mr. Sutton. M. 0. H. Reports Unsatisâ€" factory Water Tests All members of the Town Council were present at Monday‘s session, except Coun. Croft, who has removâ€" ed from town. Among the accounts passed, was the County rate of $3425. This is aâ€" bout $200 less than formerly, as are sult of the new equalized assessment of Grey County made last January, and is an agreeable change to the ratepayers. â€" and asked â€" them if they had any| doubt in their minds, to give her the! benefit. | The jury were not out longer than‘ half an hour whert they brought in their unanimous decision in favor of | the accused. The verdict, in freeing| her from the cloud on her character: in recent months, will give general! satisfaction to the citizens, who | have always held her in the highest; respect. | The defendant absolutely denied | that she had written any such cards| or letters, she had never seen one ofi these cardg until shown her by Conâ€" stable Jones and knew nothing whatâ€"| ever of them. Mrs D.C. Town testiâ€"| fied that she hat@l been employed dressmaking at her home the day cards were posted and except for one| fifteen minute period, had not left; the house until going to her own | home in the evening. Messrs E. D.; MeClocklin, Thos. Allan, J .Kelly; R.\ MacFarlane and Dr. Grant all gave | evidence of her excellent character,| when at school, in church life and as a citizen, having known her all her| life. Her lawyer, Mr H. G. Tucker,| put up a strong defence and madeul splendid address t o the jury, asking | for a clear verdict. His Honor, Judge| Sutherland also addressed the jury, showing sympathy for the defendant, and asked â€" them if they had any| doubt in their minds, to give her the! As regards water supply, the M. O.| H. gave an unfavorable report. He had submitted six samples taken to the Dept. for analysis, and all were: more or less contaminated. Two specimens were. taken from the, springs at the north west of the| town and two were‘ reservoir sampâ€"| les from springs east of Trinity Ch.! The spring samples had been of Watâ€"| er not a minute out of the ground,‘ still they showed the presence, of| colon bacilli. He believed the time, was coming when to ensure a pure, water supply, a municipally owned waterworks system would be essenâ€" tial. _ No samples from wells were taken this year. â€" P The prosecution brought out eviâ€" dence that the defendant had purâ€" chased marked postcards which were received back at the local office on Saturday, March 21st, some days la ter. The prosecution failed to prove, however, that the defendant had postâ€" ed them. Evidence taken at prelimâ€" inary hearing last June, was used by both sides. Unsigned defamatory letâ€" ters were also produced, which the expert thought to be the defendant‘s writing, but ‘would not swear to. The sanitary inspection of the two schools proved them to be in a satâ€" isfactory condition, excepting one small detail in the High School. The premises of the two milk yvendors were better than formerly and satisâ€" factory, but there was room for imâ€" provement as to sanitary conditions at the slaughter houses. A great interest was manifested in Durham in the trial of _ Miss Ruby Knisley of town, in Owen Sounrd on Wednesday, on the charge of sending obscene cards through the mails and practically everyone is delighted to know that at 7 p.m. Wednesday, the jury brought in the verdict ‘"not guilty‘", freeing her from the charge laid last spring.

Women‘s Institete hear Address from Dr. Smith Presentation to Mr. and Mrs Geo. Newell On Friday night last, the friends and neighbors of S.S. No 9 section, (Glenelg, tendered a reception to a recent bride and groom of that vicinâ€" ity, Mr. and Mrs Geo. Newell Aâ€" bout one hundred wellâ€"wishers gathâ€" ered and spent a pleasant evening with the newlyâ€"weds. At an appropâ€" rite time in the evening, Mr. Alex. Aljoe was voted to the chair and conducted® proceedings in an able way. He called upon Mr. E. Wep pler, who read a congratulatory ad dress to the young couple, followed by a presentation to them of a hand: some china cabinet and fernery, preâ€" sented by Messrs Ben Whitmore and Geo. Collinson. The young couple thanked all for the good wishes emâ€" bodied in the address and for gifts bestowed. _ Short impromptu speechâ€" es were given by Messrs Robt. Mcâ€" Fadden, Reeve Weir, (the bride‘s father) Geo,. Collinson,‘T. V. Bell and John MceGirr. After an appetizing lunch the evâ€" cning was given over to tripping the light fantastic. . To Mr and Mrs Geo. Newell, Jr. Miss Elizabeth Scott who was the delegate chosen to attend the Convenâ€" tion, brought back a most interesting report. She gathered much educatâ€" ive material for moral and social betâ€" terment of everyone in general. Her gleanings from the various addresses were concise and well chosen. Dr. Smith was the speaker of the afternoon and gave a most instruct ive address on "Community Health." A community that was unhealthy, could not be a prosperous one," he stated. Our government recognized this fact and hence the appointment of the Medical Health Officers, who are given the power to take care of the communities. Dr Smith pointed out how we may assist these officers in their work, first for trying for health ourselves, by giving atteation to proper food, rest, relaxation and fresh â€" air. Again, invaluable help may be given by reporting any susâ€" picious cases that we may suspect are contagious. If these are quarantinâ€" ed in time, much money and time may be saved, through the prevention of the spread of the disease. The speaker congratulated the work of the Women‘s Institutes in general, and noted improvements done by these, women in schools and churchâ€" es and stated that "by> their fruits ye shall know them." It was a notâ€" ed fact that since women have taken more interest in work outside the four walls of their homes, there were fewer melancholics. A hearty vote of thanks was given Dr. Smith for his interesting address. The meeting closed with. the sing: ing of the National Anthem, after which the hostess served lunch. The Women‘s Institute held their December meeting at the home of Mrs Jas. Mather on Thursday last, with a good attendance, After the usual business was dealt with, a disâ€" cussion took place as to how some money could be raised, and it wa. decided to hold a sale of baking and have a tea on Saturday of this week. Lizzie, having been one of No. 9‘s popular young ladies except for a short space of time | spent in Toronâ€" to, where she made many warm friends, needs no recommendation from us. George has proved his worth as a friend and neighbor in our communâ€" ity and is to be congratulated on winning such a prize. We will now ask you to accept this china cabipet and rattan fern stand, not for their value but as a mark of the esteem / in which you are held. May you live long to enjoy them. Signed on behalf of your friends and neighbors by * Miss M. Whitmore, Ben Whitmore, Mr and Mrs Geo. Collinson.
