It is only six short months ago since Durâ€" ham won the Int. B. Championship of Ontario in O.H.A., but the winâ€" ter season is again not far distant, and the boys intend to enter a team that will put up a stern fight to reâ€" tain the laurels won last season after many hardâ€"fought battles. _ ~ Hockey Club Held Reâ€"organization Meeting As a preliminary _ to beautifying Park grounrds, it was deemed desiraâ€" ble to have cattle pens at market building removed, and this will proâ€" bably be done next spring. In the meantime a committee comprising Reeve Hunter, Couns, McKechnie and McQueen, was appointed to meet the U.F.O. Executive to arrange for takâ€" ing over the weighing of live stock. Dr. Burnett was coach last season but declined to continue owing to lack of time to attend to it, and was elected to Executive succeeding M. G. Calder, who retired. A new coach will be appointed by the management later and the players will elect their captain. The 1.0.D.E. presented offer of $100 if Courcil will donate $200 toâ€" wards beautifying Park _ grounds. With already high taxes and many calls for town funds, the Council was rot disposed to make _ any straight grant, but will assist the new Community Club in this project, by supplying relief labor when necâ€" essary. The Fire & Light Com. requested use of one of the cells in fire hall building, which are now seldom used, to convert into a cloak room, _ This was granted. Raybould, the sterling centre player is away to New Ontario, and E. El vidge, the starry left winger is said to be retiring from the game, thus unless he can be persuaded to conâ€" tinue, there will be at least two placâ€" es to fill. The sub, forwards are coming players and may get a regulâ€" ar berth, but it is felt one or two good players will be required to be brought in to maintain the team at its former strength. Council Postpones Action on Tax Arrears At October town council session Monday, treasurer Ramage presented a report of the 29 properties listed for tax sale in the near future. All owners were notified and a number have paid in sufficient to clear theis property from being offered for sale. Almost all have made some payments on their arrears, and if all promises to make further payments materialize there will be only a few properties left to advertise for sale. The Counâ€" cil and town hope such will be the case,â€"that all property owners . will make best endeavors to clear off all arrears on their homes and keep a clear title to them. _ Accordingly, Council passed a resolution holding tax sale over for one month and reâ€" questing the treasurer to produce a list of all arrears l‘sted as to years due, at next meeting.

JOHN GRAY ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO l On Tuesday night in Knox church, under Ladies‘ Aid auspices, Ellsworth ‘ Toll, addressed a wellâ€"filled church, !on his famous travelogue, "Hitchâ€" !hlklng around the world". _ He tells his story with 170 slides, beautifully !clear and tinted. With his brother ‘Leroy (who is also broadcasting his |story throughout Ontario) they hitchâ€" |hiked around the world one year, in ‘ that time doing 27 countries and 30,â€" ‘000 miles. Their experiences were both pleasant and at times not so | pleasant, but looking backward upon ilthem now, they would not have missâ€" Ied any of them. The speaker with his brother are young men, taking | this means to finance themselves !themsel\'es through a _ University ‘ course, and their intentions are to !cross Canada with their story. Ellsâ€" worth Toll also addressed the mornâ€" ilng audience in Knox church Sunâ€" | day last and in a fluent manner, gave Itheir experiences while in Palestine. Three months of their year abroad was spent in the Holy land, and the pictures revealed what the mind canâ€" not so well absorb, the terrible conâ€" citions in which many of the nietives live. In the land of the Pharoahs, in Egypt, Ellsworth Toll describes their experiences in the night hours in the ancient pyramid, and the graphic story and picture, revealing him lyâ€" ing in a stone tomb of one of the anâ€" cient kings, will long be remembered. The two brothers financed their roundâ€"theâ€"worldâ€"trip on $75. each and are now reaping the benefits thereâ€" from.

Many times in their wanderings, they were cold, tired, hungry and frightened. While they purchased a tandem in England for getting over the country, they sold it in France, as they found it a too slow method of locomotion. Hitchâ€"hiking was a new term to the European countries, but the boys found kind and accommodating peoâ€" ple wherever they travelled. Mr. E. W.
