They per formed two successful operations, one this morning and another more serious to-night. It was officially stated at ham Palace at IIJO o'clock that the condition of his majesty so far continues satisfactory. The attend ing physicians, with the exception of Sir Stanley Hewett, who will remain as usual all night at the palace, left shortly before this statement was giv-. A special meeting of the town coun cil was held on Tuesday evening, all the members being present but Couns. Berry and Davis. The town clerk made his declaration regarding the municipal elections, and the voting on the waterworks by As a result of the bulletin issued this evening by the physicians and the' late official palace statement the hopes of the people for his majesty’s recov ery arc rapidly rising from the despon dency of the past twp critical days. This morning a puncture was made to remove some of the purulent fluid around the bate of the King’s right lung. It was indicated that ther drainage would be required. Chief Carter reported five arrests and four summonses. The fees and fines collected amounted to $32.50, and poll tax collected, $155.00. The report was ordered filed. Tax Collector Ostrander reported that a 99% collection of the 1928 taxes had been made, as well as a large por tion of the unpaid one of the previous Several members of the London Lions* Club were entertained in our den on Friday evening, and excellent addresses were given by Lion Hawkins, their President, and Lion Thomas, manager of the forthcoming district "A" convention, to be held in London on June 3rd, 4th, and Sth. A wonder ful program has been prepared and Tillsonburg will be well represented. As one gets about the country one discovers more and more that there is considerable confusion as to just what a Lions club is. Generally it is re ferred to as a civic organization; some refer to it as a luncheon club, and others as a social, fraternal or welfare club. As a matter of fact it is a service club, serving all of these agencies, and meeting two or three times a month for a luncheon. During each meeting there is singing, roaring, speaking and other entertaining features, which de velop enthusiasm, and good-fellowship, to the end that the membership of the club as a unit combines to render a worth-while service. Webster defines service as "the act of serving." This is really a good definition of the object of a Lions Club. Records show the Lions have been engaged in thousands of worthwhile activities. There arc more than 1500 instances recorded where Lions clubs have served the Boy Scouts. From welfare work we go to civic improvements and com munity enterprises. Here wc find that Lions clubs have served their commu nities by providing parks playgrounds and aviation fields, beautifying streets, conducting cleanup campaigns, fur nishing tourist camps, giving attention to traffic regulations, building audito riums, band stands and other public buildings, promoting bond issues for bridges and widening of streets, plant ing trees, and in practically every con ceivable way serving their communi ties. All these activities are .in addi tion to their serving and helping along charitable lines The mission of a Lions club is ser vice. A Lions club is a service club, and the members give in service. Their mission is to bring a person or object needins help to the agency giving aid; or to help worth-while agencies meet their obligations. The mission of a church is to raise the spiritual level of the community. The mission of a Lions club is to help the church accom- Ilish this. The mission of the chanter of commerce is to help every busi ness and civic enterprise in the com munity, the mission of the Lions club is to assist the chamber of commerce in its activities. The mission of a welfare agency is to raise the standards of morality in the community; the mission of the Lions club is to bring to the agency those needing its attention and to help the agency function. The mis sion of a social agency may be to pro mote a more friendly, mutual relation ship among the residents of a community; the Lions club can help them in their work. The Lions club is not * separate and distinct commercial, social, moral or welfare agency; yet it is all these things because it serves all these agencies. Should it happen ths' there is no civic, social, commercial, moral or welfare agency within the community, or should it happen that there is one of these agencies in the town but not functioning, and the Lions are unable to help it function, the Lions Club can then function as one or as all of these agencies. Or, if an agency is not inclined to Uke up a needed activity in the community, and the. Lions believe it should be done, they are in . position to do it For one of the objects of the Lions club is to take an active interest in the civic, commercial, social and moral welfare of the community, thereby bringing health, happiness and prosperity to its community. This is the mission of a real service club. On motion of Couns. Fairs and Young the tax colllector was instruct ed to take drastic measures to collect the amounts of taxes remaining un paid bv the end of the year. On motion of Couns. Fairs and Young the treasurer was authorized to transfer $200.00 from the John Scott special account, and $100.00 from the MA Bell trust funr, accru ed interest, to the general fund, for charitable purposes.

Rangers Buy Oatman The regular luncheon and business meeting of the Tillsonburg Lions Club was held at the Royal Hotel on Fri day evening last, and was largely at tended. Lion Hawkins, president of the London Lions Qub. and several members, being guests. Community singinr led by Lton Stanley Wood, was indulged in during the supper, which enlivened the occasion. After the wants of the inner man had been fully satisfied Lion Presi dent Gibson called the meeting to order and introduced the visiting Lions from London. Lion President Hawkins thanked the Tillsonburg members for their hospitalitv *n< con gratulated the club on its increased membershin since his last visit. He conveyed a message from the District Governor urging every member to make a big effort to extend Lionism in Canada under the new charter. He suggested that the local Lions send a delegation to Aylmer to arrange a date when both London and Tillson burg Lions could meet there with the idea of organizing a club. With Tillsonburg so well situated on Pro vincial highway, the Lions club here were now the connecting link for all clubs between Bridgeburg and Wind sor and advised that this be made known so that visitors from these points would drop in the local den while passing through town. Lion Thomas of London also gave a lively address dealing with the forthcoming district “A" convention to be held in London on June 3rd, 4th and 5th, when a 1(0 per cent, attendance is an ticipated from Tillsonburg. The speaker of the evening, J. V. Buchanan, of Ingersoll, was very ably introduced by Lion Charles Denton and the speaker received a warm ovation as he arose to the introduction. Opening his short after dinner speech Verne congratulated the town of Till sonburg and Lions club especially in having such a clean cut type of young man as their president. Twice before he had spoken to the Lions club here and he considered it a distinct priv ilege to be invited back the third time to the very enterprising town of Till sonburg. He chose as his subject “The Ro mance of an Empire" and believed there was no greater subject for Can adians to-day. Canada now has the control of the peace of the world to day in the fact that she controls the nickel supply of the world and 95 per cent, of the asbestos. "At the present time our dollar is bigger than that of the United States and next year Cana da will produce more gold than our neighbors to the south. Canada sits in the council of the world at Geneva because of the sacrifice her sons made in the Great War." He referred to King George lying ill in Buckingham Palace and his great work among the war hospitals accompanied by his queen. Later he sent a princely Prince as his ambassador from one end of the Empire to the other and the-pulse of the world was running faster in re gard to the illness of the King. No greater romance had ever been enact ed in the world than the scene in the little church in Africa where the na tives who used to hate England had gathered to sing “God Save the King" as the Prince of Wales left on his 14- day trip to the bedside of his father. The speaker’s address ended with the drinking of a toast to the King and hope for his early recovery. Lion President Gibson reported a surplus of $235 from the Lions annual show held on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. The Lions decided to erect their Christmas tree in the market square and decorate it much more profusely than in the past. Instead of giving out the usual candy at the tree to the children the monev formerly used in this connection will be given to the use of the relief baskets. Lion President Gibson heartily thanked the London Lions and J. V. Buchanan for their excellent contribu tion to the evening program and the meeting closed with the Lions roar.

In the city of Milwaukee there is a vocational school attended by 7.0(0 young people. In this school a test was made to discover the reading itbits of the students. The result was illuminating. It was found that the majority were reading the sensational newspaper*. A smaller body were read ing the lurid novels, that would not be permitted in the public library.' A third group were reading the flashy magazines that are flung from the press by the million in these days. Here wa* a problem for the vocational staff, to remedy thi* situation and they were well nigh in despair when the public library came to their help. Class room libraries were opened in the school, and the books supplied by the library staff. The result wa* immedi ate and gratifying. The Undents soon found that Dickens. Scott. Hawthorne. Stevenson. Kipling. Shakespeare, Ten nyson. and other standard authors were worth reading, and the “penny dread- luls" were forgotten. There is also a power for character building in the public library. The writer heard the late Sir John Willison speak at the annual meeting of the Toronto Public Library, and he paid enthusiastic tribute to the library in hi* small native village, from which he re ceived the first inspiration toward a life of social service. Theodore W. Koch, librarian of Northwestern Uni versity, Evanston, HL. tells of a young man who read Bojer's “Power of a Lie," and went at once to a friend whom he had defrauded fifteen year* before and paid the debt with interest. A yet more remarkable case is related by J. J. Dickenson of the American Library Association. A certain man was sent to prison. He refused name or involve his relative grace, which meant that he went with out letters from friends, or any com munication with the world outside the prison. To him came a librarian with offers of reading matter. So helpful was the influence of the book* and magazines sent him. that he was pro moted to the "trusty" das*, which gave him an hour longer of light in his cell Toward the end of his term he wrote: -the prison has done for me what it should do for every man. It has made me over, and I am ready to Uke my place in society." If this man had learned to value reading early in life, he probably would never have been a prisoner.

Warden Andrew Baxter Holl at the Time-Honored Warden’* Banquet— Speakers AU Pay High Tribute to the Warden for Hia Public Service. The time-honored Warden’s banquet was held in the Temple Tea Room, Woodstock, on Friday evening last when Warden Andrew Baxter was host to a large assembly, including hi* past and present associates in munici pal life, member* of parliament and county and his own township official*, accompanied by their wives. Every speaker spoke in the highest terms of Warden Baxter, and it dearly showed the high esteem in which he was held by those associated with him. The musical program was greatly enjoyed by all present and was composed of talent entirely from Brownsville, the home of the Warden, consisting of solos by Mr. James Gay, Mrs. E. H. Barnhardt and Mrs. Alfred Woolley; and a saxophone *olo by Mr. William son. During the serving of the ban quet the Brownsville orchestra de lighted those pre*ent with their music. The Woodstock Sentinel-Review re ports the addresses a* follows: Hugh Alien, M.P. “Today the British Empire is in the makings of a single state—the greatest in the Empire," stated Hugh Allen, M.P., in proposing the toast to “Our Empire and the House of Commons." "Three features," he *aid, "place the British Empire in a foremost position, they being the unity of it* constituent parts; the principle* of government and the results arising from the appli cation and exercises of ciples. Up to 1914, Mr. Allan attempt had been made strength of the British Germany believed the Empire lacked in solidarity against the onslaughts of war. The war was a sign and symbol which will last for all time to come, ol the inherent unity of the British Empire During the first few weeks of the war the Dominions realized that the motherland could not stand alone and it* men came from every province, city, and hamlet and did their part in the greatest tragedy the world has ever known. The Great War was one of the greatest dramas ever witnessed for freedom and liberty. Speaking of some of the benefit* de rived from the conflict, Mr. Allen said that in his opinion the greatest was the proof of the strength of the constituent parts of the Empire. Never before had it been so plainly shown, he said. An other great benefit was the strength ening of the bonds between the do minion* and the (notherland.The gain* made by Great Britain in the war were not all intangible, he said, referring to the territory acquired from its enemies as a part of the settlement following the signing of the armistice. It was foolish to say that no benefit was accrued by the' Empire in the ac quiring of these lands and it was also foolish to minimize the responsibility which rested upon the Empire as the result of acquiring this territory. Vast sums of money must be spent, he said, to restore these lands to their former state, but milions of men who lived under intolerance, greed and selfish ness, now lived under principles of liberty and prestige of the British Em pire. The work of the British statesmen was laqdcd by Mr. Allan, who referred largely to the formation of the League of Nations and the efforts of that body to end war for all time. T. M. Cayley, M.P. Responding to the toast, T. M. Cay ley. M.P., touched on Oxford itself be fore dealing with the broader aspects of the toast. “When I go out into other parts of the country," he said, “people ask me where 1 come from, and when I tell them I am from Oxford county, they say. ’Oh, yes, that’s where they have good cows.’ My reply is to ask them if they know what that means; that back of the cows there must be and are good people. You hear of our cows but you don't hear so much about our pure-bred people, beaten anywhere on "Down at Ottawa, from other parts of Allan and 1 hear of lems which confront them. Wc haven't many of the problems in Oxford and wc realize it is because of the type of people that we have here, and we cer tainly have reason to feel proud of them and of the fact that we repre sent them.” Turning to the county council, Mr. Cayley remarked that, coming as the members were, to the end of their year, they would be thinking things over and undoubtedly would be recalling some of the discouragements met with. "Each of you ha* met with them per sonally, but if you recall that there is another sire, and that it is all of us contributing our shares together that makes up this great dominion and this great empire, you will see things differ ently. The little that we can do individually is no: great. Let us work to gether, for it is that spirit of cooperation that has brought about the development of our country and our empire to where it is today and that will develop it even greater in the fu ture." Dealing with Canada, Mr. Cayley enumerated many of Canada's great resources, including the abundance of her western harvest, the mineral wealth of her northland, her pulp and paper industry, and the power possi bilities of her river*. Of the latter, he referred to the great things being done with the five millions of horsepower now developed, asking his audience to look into the future and »ee what might be done with the forty-three millions which are said to be available for development. “Developing this, w’hat will wc have?" he asked. “Millions and millions of people will settle this country from coast to coast. In fifty years, what changes will be wrought? Wc don't know, but we can be *ure that thi* is Canada's century." Canada's growing importance as a tourist centre was touched on, Mr. Cayley mentioning that last year tour ists brought into Canada $275,000,000. which sum has been greatly exceeded in the year just dosing. “With our mountain*, our rivers and our woods, our wonderful natural at tractions, Canada is going to become not alone the playground of America, but the playground of tht whole world.” he prophesied. "What does all this mean?” he con tinued. "I would not have you think 1 of it only in dollar* and cents, but as a , means by which we can rear up here A , better people —a means by, which we I can give ourselves and thi* great coun- i try in service to the empire. We are a Crt of the empire and what it stands What doe* it stand for? For freedom and justice—freedom for all, justice for all, and development. "Canada cannot be small. We would not be true to the past if wc were, and not true to the Fathers of Confed eration. We cannot even think small things in a country this great” Touching on the recent session of the Interparliamentary Association at Ottawa, when parliamentarians from all parts of the empire met together there, he mentioned the remarks of an eastern delegate, who had said that India had been watching Canada and the development of her federal gov ernment, looking with eagerness to the time when she too could have a gov ernment similar to Canada's. “If we have shown the world what can be done in this respect, wc have given something of real value to the those prin- declared, no to test the Empire and who cannot be the continent. talking with men the country.

When we have lived at peace for a century with our neighbors across the border, we have shown the world something of real value, teaching them how nations can live peaceably side by side if they will show the spirit of comprise and tolerance. Let us instil into our chil dren a pride in the fact that it privilege to be Canadians." D. M. Ro.., M.LA. D. M. Ros*. M.LA,, questioned advisability of the ratepayers of .... county giving up control of their road* to the government during the course of a brief address while proposing the toast to the "Legislative Assembly.” Ten years ago. he said, the town ship councils were directly responsible for the conditions of the road* and the spending of money on their improve ment. Now-, he declared, each town ship has a road superintendent who is responsible to the government. It is safe to say, stated Mr. Ross, that ten years and more ago, no public money was wasted, as it was spent directly be fore the ratepayers and they all receiv ed a good service. There was no dem ocracy in the people giving up control of their roads, he declared. Mr. Ross referred to the increasing cost of operating the county, but did not see that any government could wel reduce the expenditure* with the peo ple clamoring for additional service*. The speaker said he favored the im posing of a gasoline tax. which would most likely come before the next »cs- sionxtf the Ontario legislature. It was but fair, stated Mr. Ross, that those who use the highways should pay for their upkeep. Old age pensions will also occupy the attention of the next session of the Ferguson Government, in the opinion of Mr. Ross. Although no definite in formation is obtainable how the scheme will be put into effect, he said he be lieved the municipalities would be called upon to bear a pottion of the ?ost. A* the result of an interprovin- cial conference at Ottawa, there was the possibility of an announcement from the Federal Government that the personal income tax would be droped as a means of revenue of the Dominion Government and it be given the gov ernments of each province as a medium to raise money. Speaking of the changes in represen tation on the county council forced on the township of West Zorra and East Nissouri, because of the shortage of ratepayers. Mr. Ross said he did not believe it was justice for a municipal ity lacking a few of a thousand rate payers not to have a greater represen tation than the community with a small number of ratepayer*. Embro with a few hundred ratepayers ha* a repre sentation on the county council equal to that of a township, he said. M. E. Scott, M.LA. Making his response to the toast. M. E. Scott, MXA. al*o touched on various of the issues that will front the provincial house in the future. “We little know what is in mind* of the government when wc are called together,’' he commented, "but from what we can gather, the old age pensions bill is coming up. I believe it i* a good thing if taken on by the province as outlined by the Dominion government, rather than to have any change made in it. “There is another matter that I presume we win have before u> that will be of interest to many of you; that is the question of township school boards. I have my opinion on this, but I would like to know the opinions of my constituent* to help me as a guide. It is a thing that interests so many of you that I would like to have a letter from the reeve or someone cl*e of responsibility in every municipality of my constituency expressing the feeling of the people there on this ques tion. “1 believe the tax on gasoline is a proper one. Tho»e who use the roads should pay for them. 1 also believe that the heavy trucks that are pass ing over our highway and damaging them to a great extent are not paying enough license fee*. They do as much harm to a road as 25 or 50 auto*. Also, they are working against the interest* of our own government-owned railway. The amount of freight hauled now by trucks cannot help but militate against the welfare of the Canadian National Railway*." Goo. Sibbiek The tout to "Our County Council,” was proposed by George Sibbiek. reeve ot Blenheim. He spoke highly of the work of Warden Baxter during hi* term of office and referred to him u a man who live* up to the highest the the con near the principles and one of strong integrity and uprightness. Reeve Sibbiek gave a brief resume of the increasing cost of conducting the affairs of the county. Twenty years ago, he said, the total expenditures for the county amounted to $20,000 and now it costs .over $200.- 000 exclusive of government grants. If the rate increases proportionately for the next fifty years, he expressed fears for the ratepayer. The tax rate was higher this year, but it- was an impossiblity, he declared, to keep (he wheels of progress turning without it costing considerable money. He ex pressed the opinion that every member of the council was spending the peonle's money as judiciously, as if it were his own. In closing, Reeve Sibbiek touched on the friendly spirit and the close co-operation which existed among the members of the 1928 county council. Wm. J. Weir Former warden Wm. J. Weir, res ponding to the toast, expressed plea sure at being able to renew acquain tances with so many with whom he had worked in the council during his terms there. He congratulated the present year's body on the efficient manner in which they had carried on their work during the year, with the deliberations being kept harmonious and free from “jangling.” which he had known in some session in the past. He congratulated especially the road committee which, though composed of members new to that work. had done remarkably good work, in his opinion. Referring to a previous speaker’s mention of the rising tax rate. Mr. Weir explained the situation in humor ous fashion. ’’During the first part of the year." he said, “the people ask for roads. The county council believes the people want roads and build* them. Later on .'... people gel their tax slips, and the cry turns to ’Oh, you spendthrifts! Cha.. J. Pearce Reference to Oxford County's great producing records whch had made it famous throughout the world, were made in the address of Charles J. Pearce, former reeve of Dercham, in proposing the toast to "Our County.” There was no county in the Domin ion, he said, which produced such large quantities of milk, cheese and butter, as Oxford County. Mr. Pearce also spoke of the many changes in the county from year to year. There were only three members in this year's council, which sat on the coun cil three years ago, when he was a member. Mr. Pearce said he did not believe it was a poor system to change the honors of representation on the council from time to time as each township only sent its best and most capable men to represent them on the council E. Burpee Palmer E Burpee Palmer, former reeve of North Norwich, responding, commented on the fact that Warden Baxter, has enjoyed the honor of being the second generation to occupy the warden's ofiair, his father, John Bax ter. having been warden of the coun ty by unanimous choice in 1902. Oxford, he said, was not a large county, being about 46,000 acres in extent, with about 4,700 farms, the present tendency being towards larg er and fewer farms. Of the farms. 40 per cent \\erc between 50 and 100 acres, a similar number between 100 and 200 acre* and 10 per cent, larger than 200 acre*. The value of the farm property is estimated at about $56,250.- 000. Dealing with the products of Ox ford’s farms. Mr. Palmer touched on the fame that ha been brought to the county by the men who have spe cialized in Holsteins and by the men who are now developing the Jerseys, making the name of Oxford known all over the continent. He mentioned also the beef cattle of the northern part of the county, the swine and the poultry. Touching for a moment on the tre mendous strides of the poultry indus try, he estimated that the are 500.- 000 or more laying hens in the county. He paid a tribute to the work of the department of agriculture and G. R. Green, the local (representative, for the increased development of this in dustry, pointing out that if these hens laid but one egg more a year through these efforts, it would mean almost three carloads of eggs extra, the value of these at twenty cents a dozen be ing in the neighborhood of $8,500. The work of Mr. Green and his as sociate, Mr. Staples, along these and other lines, came in for strong com mendation by the speaker, who ven tured the remark that he did not be lieve the ratepayers would censure the counts- council for any move the I members might make in an effort to retain Mr. Green’s services. Touching on the question of taxa tion, Mr. Palmer compared the coun ty's $20,000 taxes in 1902. the time of the wardenship of Mr. Baxter’s father, adding that at the same time one must consider the great advances that had been made in the standard of living living during the period. Rcaliznng that the road expenditures were taking a good part of the taxes, he also pointed out to his audience the large sums going for secondary edu cation. “It is costing u* somewhere about $75,000 for secondary education al one," he said, “half of this being paid by the county and half by the town ships. I am beginning to wonder whether wc are not educating our older boys and girls and they do not know what they arc being educated for. If the burden of the cost was borne by the people themselves and carried on by scholarships a* it is done in some countries. I am inclined to think it might be a better way. The scholarships would be taken up by students with a real object in secur ing thes education." R. J. Forbes No one can look upon the county building* of Oxford county without feeling a certain amount of pride and this especially applied to the court house, stated R. Forbes, in proposing the toast to “Our Public Institutions. Mr. Forbes lauded Warden Baxter for his assistance during the past year and expressed the hope that he would again hold a scat on the county coun the L.C. Ecker L C Ecker, superintendent of the Children's Shelter, responding, dealt at some, length on the value of prev entative social work. Citing the pres ence of the county’s various custodial institutes as proof of the presence of social ills, he pointed out that with the prosperity of the country depend ing almost entirely upon the number (Continued on pagt 6) QUALITY GROCERY PHONES 63--64 WHERE PURE CLEAN FOOD IS SOLD Make This Christmas Merrier!

He made a brief review of Woodstock's outstanding position in the county. It wa* practically in the centre of the country, he said, and was featured- splendid streets, well-kept homes and an ideal citizenship. There had been great thing* happen industrially for the city this year, he stated, in predict ing that 1929 had in store Mill greater things for the dty. Mayor Sales, complimented Warden Baxter on his record during the year and declared that it ha d been> pleas ure fur him to work with Warden Baxter when he represented the city on various committee* of the county council "Warden Baxter always act ed in a straightforward manner and wzs always fair on any question per- taming to the city of Woodstock, de clared Mayor Sales. Mayor Brady Mayor Brady, of Ingersoll, replying to the toast, spoke of the close alli ance there ha» always been between Ingersoll and other municipalities of the county, stressing the pleasure it ha* always given him to visit in Woodstock. He congratulated the county official* on being representative* of what he ••dived to be the best county in the Dominion of Canada. “Oxford is noted for her agricul tural triumphs," he declared. "Many coveted prizes have come here and we owe a real debt of gratitude to the men whose effect* have made this the case. The pioneers who blazed the trails and cut down the forest in our county making it possible for the de velopments that have followed and for us to be here to-night—to them we owe a great debt of gratitude ." Jn a speech interspersed with wit ticisms and stories, W. J. Taylor, presi dent of the Scntined-Rcvicw, proposed the toast to "The Press." Mr. Taylor opened hi* remarks by thanking War den Baxter for the invitation to attend the banquet, declaring that if he had failed to be present he would have set a precedent for himself, as he had at tended each warden's banquet for the past 25 years. He said he believed he owed the present and past warden* something for the many free feeds he had secured and then broke into a story indicating a way in which some day he might be warden of the county and would then repay his past hosts by one of the biggest banquets in the history of the council t Mr. Taylor spoke of the cultural and elevating effect the ladies present had upon the opposite sex. In times gone by. there were cocktail* upon the table and the smoke rose in clouds, but on this occasion there were no cock tails. nor wa* there any smoke. Referring to D. M. Ross' complaint that the county council of today had lost many of the privileges which had marked the councils of earlier days, Mr. Taylor jocularly said that Mr Rom forgot that he also had lost many privileges during recent years “Some speaker, Mr. Scott, I believe, has said tonight that he never gets a letter from any of his constituents on public questions. Hundred of mem bers of parliament have told me during the past thirty-five years that they hardly ever received a letter from their constituents, unless it wa* from some one who wanted a job. How can you expect your representative, whether he is on the county council, or is in the government to know the feeling of hi» electors on important public ques tions. if they are not informed by their constituents?" asked Mr. Taylor. “It is said that the press is the tongue of the nation. I wish it wert true, but instead it is of two or three. The people seldom write to the press on public questions, and you are all just a* well pasted on world event* as an editor. In England,.the people use the pres* to voice their opinions on questions of importance, but su«h is not the case here. I wish it were." Mr. Taylor said. H. F. Johneloe At the outset of the address pf H. F. Johnston, business manager of The Tillsonburg News, he spoke of his twenty years and over acquaintance with Warden Baxter and expressed the extreme pleasure he and Mr*. John ston had at being prevent. The speaker also spoke of hi* acquaintance with the Warden's father, the late John Baxter, who was al*o warden of the county in 1902. Mr. Johnston said he would like those present to remember that they were honoring a citizen who had been a leader in every phase of life, in the enterprising village of Brownsville, for the upbuilding of the community. Mr Johnston also stated that Mr. Ross had said that he believed Dercham had had more than their share of wardens in comparison with some of the other municipalities The speaker said that the township of Dereham had plenty of material to produce a warden at any time the county desired one. "We have heard a lot here tonight about our fine public institutions, said the speaker, responding to the toast. "I feel justified in saying that we should be proud of the pres* of Can ada. It stands for the highest stand ard* of citizenship that arc possible. You can take the average Canadian newspaper and throw it down on the table, not afraid to let your children pick it up and read it.

M. Mackay In a brief address Dr. C. M Mackay proposed the final toast of the evening to "The Ladic*." He said he believed he had been selected for thi* honor be cause he wa* a bachelor and therefore could say things and not be brought to task for hi* remark* when he reached home. Arrange Air Trips On European Routes Canadians leaving thi* country for tours in Europe during the coming winter months may arrange, through Canadian National Railway* agents, air voyages by the principal air routes in the British Isle* and on the Con tinent, it wa* stated thi* morning by C.

Until Xmas Reeve Sibbick Reeve Sibbick of Blandford said the council had many things to be thankful for this year, chief among them being that there had been no break in the ranks of the members throughout the rear. "I wish to thank the warden." he said, “for the capable manner in which he has handled the affairs of his office." Deputy-Reeve Pool.Joseph J. Poole, deputy-reeve of Dereham, said he. being a new member •of the council, had great pleasure in aaying a few words to the warden, be cause of the help the latter had given and the manner in which he had guid ed him over the rough spots in the •council work during the year. Rm. Whit. David White, reeve of Tillsonburg. said he was pleased for the way in which Warden Baxter had handled the leadership of the council and he cer tainly deserved the thanks of the council. Deputy-Rm. Eyr. Henry S. Eyre, deputy-reeve of Till sonburg, stated he was much impressed by the way the warden took hold of the problems, many of which were not so easy to handle.

Dec. 10—The meanest individual who cumbers this fair earth of ours passed through the vill age Wednesday night. The night was dark and rainy, and the sidewalks vesy slippery. The veteran minuter. Rev. H. Wood, was making his way down to the church to attend the venison supper. Mr. Wood hat been quite lame this fall, and has been using two canes to help him along. When he was a short distance away from his home, a car stopped, and a voice called out to know if he wanted a ride. Mr. Wood nat- urllly supposed it was one of his many friends .who are always glad to give him a ride, and he left the sidewalk, and walked out into the road. As he reached the car. the do-:r was suddenly slammed shut, and the car drove away, leaving tbe old gentleman to find his way back to the sidewalk, through the mud. Of course everyone knows that there is not a man or boy in the village or vicinity who would be guilty of such a low-down trick, and it ss to be hoped that the next time such "smart Alecks" try any such dirty trick they will not choose for their victim a man who is nearing 94 years of age. A large number of Anglican young people, representative of the A.Y.P.A. of Oxford Deanery, anembled on Fri day evening in the Sunday school room of Old St. Paul’* Church, Woodstock, for the annual banquet, which was a decided succe**. The table* pyetented pretty and bright appearance with their blue candle* burning and the sil ver basket* of mauve ’mum* placed at interval*. Blue and white were the colors u»ed not only on the table* but throughout the room which wa* fes tive with streamer*. The A.Y.P.A. crest was placed in a prominent posi tion at one end of the room, and the place-cards were also decorated with the cre*t. The Ladies* Guild of the church served a delicious banquet which wa* attractive in every appoint ment.During the banquet the singing of A.Y.P.A. songs and the giving of en thusiastic yells encouraged a friendly spirit, the final note of informality be ing given when the chairman. Willi* MarthalL of Christ Church. Hunting ford, requested that each person rhe and introduce himself or herself. Mr. .Marshall, president of the A.Y.P.A. council, extended a welcome to the guests and spoke of the A.Y.PA. as feeing an organization , which wa* a powerful factor in building for the future, for Christ and for the church. Rev. John Morris, rector of Old St. Paul's, welcomed the young people to the parish. The toast to the king and empire wa* proposed by Stuart Robinson and re sponded to by the singing of the Na tional anthem. In proposing a toast to the church. Rev. Ridley Parson* of Christ church. Huntingford, spoke of it as a venerable organization, and a society second to none in social organizations. Rev. £ L. Vivian replied to the toast, speaking of the church as the guardian of the fundamental truth* of the apos tles. and a legacy left by the grace of God. The toast to the A.Y.PA. wa* pro posed by Rev. John Morris and re sponded to by Mis* Beatrice Dent. The speaker of the evening wa* the Rev. W. H. Dunbar, of Tillsonburg. Mr. Dunbar gave a witty and delight fully reminiscent talk of hi* experi ence* in Canada since coming to the country from Ireland. He mentioned his first pastorate in a district not far from Montreal and told of hi* subse quent charges in Ontario villages and town*. The keynote of hi* address was his appreciation of the marvellous influence and support which the young people in every parish had been to him. In concluding. Mr. Dunbar spoke of the wealth of Canada, its rich minerals, its prairies, forests, lakes and moun tains, and rich green valley* and asked that the ydung people of the church in Canada put their whole strength into the work of the church, appreciating their country, and being loyal to the Dominion, while they were enjoying all the blessings which the British Em pire could give.An enjoyable musical program wa* included in the evenii A vote of thanks to the speaker oi the evening was moved by Mr. Parsons, and seconded by Miss Marjorie Rowe, who also thanked those who took part in the program, and D. J. McClellan, who played for the songs. DRAKE’S PURE FOOD STORE BEEF—Round Steak Be; Tea Bone 2Sc; (pedal price, aceordinc tn cut.

During the put few yean quite a number at moving picture companies have "discovered" the Canadian Rockies. With headquartera ray at Banff or Lake Louiac they are within eeey distance of almoet every scenic background which might be desired. The low rolling footbOl* give the color for the cowboy variety. Somewhere, although perhaps high up, snow can always be found. The myriad lakes, streams and waterfalls, high cliffs and rugred trails, the motor roads and the railway, pack-ponies, do^s and wild life, the peaks and pine-clad valleys bridges and tunnels provide varied properties In proximity obtainable in few other location! on the continent. Many of the thrillers one wee now were filmed in the Canadian West and with the establish ment of a Canadian film production company at Calgary, a Canadian Hollywood is in a fair way to becoming built up, particularly as the long hours of runshinc and the clear atmosphere for which Banff is famous are two of the major essentials for succeea- ful camera work.

High up on the mountain side, a short saddle ride from the Chateau they found plenty of snow, and here Mr. Barrymore is raid to have amazed the professional Swiss gulden by his daring.

Each year, with the coming of cold weather, we find that certain diseases return in force a« it were. and. as if refreshed by their summer vacation, they vigorously attack mankind. Many of these diseases disappear com pletely during the summer season. Common Colds. Pneumonia and Bron chitis arc present all year, but in *uch decreased number* that they seem, comparatively speaking, to disappear in the warm weather. It would seem reasonable to suppose that if we could maintain our bodies in the condition in which they are in warm weather, they would be better able to combet these diseases the year round. There is not a* much sunshine in winter, therefore, all the more reas on for u* to make the most of the sunshine that there is. In summer, we are neither outside in the fresh air. or inside with window* open. We live and sleep in air that is in motion <o some extent. In winter, we should remember that a most im portant factor is to work and sleep in an atmosphere which has a certain amount of motion. According to the weather, windows and doors should be opened sufficiently to allow of a gentle circulation of air through the house and the office or work-place. Many who exercise regularly in summer, by plaving games, swimming, walking, etc., give it all up in the cold weather. The result is that they suffer from a loss of physical tone We need exercise and play all through the vear. Living an«l working in over-heated room* are responsible, we believe, for much of the increase in cold*, pneu monia and bronchitis in the winter The best temperature to m»ntain m the home and the office is degree* Fahrenheit. We would recommend keeping a thermometer where it may he easily seen, in order to maintain a check upon the temperature. If oeoj»le would exercise in the win ter. live and work in ventilated rooms of proper temperature, and dress ac cording to the temperature, more of them would esca|»e the usual cold*, bronchitis and pneumonia that prey upon us in winter.

Reeve Silcox chairman *aid that in salary the past gaoler’s salary had remained the same during that period. The committee recommended that the request of the Gaol Governors’ As sociation to the council to support a *ch«me to place gaol officials under the Civil Service Commission be laid over until the January session.

THE CANADIAN BANK IH OF COMMERCE ( THE STANDARD BANK OF CANADA ) ----- ------- --------JIB| MILLIONS THIS GENTLEMAN is busy "talking tele phones to death"—which is merely a way of saying that he is testing their transmission qualities. He is a worker in the telephone research laboratories. He has a rack of telephone trans mitters and a phonograph. He "talks them to death" by means of the phonograph to see whether the transmitters give satisfactory results. There have been 95 different types of trans mitters and 64 different receivers to obtain the instrument you are using today. And man ara at work now to find one still better. IN THE NEXT ROOM another man ta using an apparatus which rubs a pieca of talephone cord back and forth until It frays. He is seeking a better cord. He is the man who found that the brown cord in your tele phone today wears better than the green cord you used to have. You may not have noticed the change from green to brown but it has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars for telephone users. That is the business of these gentlemeo—<o make a better telephone and save money in - doing it. THERE ARE NEARLY five thousand of them at work in the Bell Telephone Laboratories — the largest telephone resarch laboratories in the world — and the Bell Tele phone Company of Canada owns a contract giving access to all the work they do. That is why your telephone system now has the ingenious device known as the "loading coil” which transmits messages over wires fine as human hair. It used to be necessary to have heavy wires, increasing in size with distance. The heavy wires were costly. The loading coil has saved millions in telephone costs. The underground cables developed in recent years are another of a score of similar benefits. They have wires to carry a vastly greater num ber of messages than they used to, but they are so compact and so efficient that they can be pulled through the original underground ducts. If cables and ducts had to be increased in size with the vast new traffic tbe costs of telephon ing would climb sky-high. THE NEW CABLES, like the brown cord and the loading coil, mean millions of dollars saved. These dollars are dollars in your pocket Your telephone is being connected with thousands of new telephones across the country every week yet this increased value does not cost you more because costs are suc cessfully offset by the economics which re search accomplishes. Tbe gentleman testing the transmitter and the five thousand working in the laboratories with him are saving money for you every day and keeping the tele- phone adequate to sene the Ar needs of Canadian progress.

Few beverages are more popular than buttermilk. It is a universal fav orite and extensivey used on account of its flavor and food value. It is often prescribed for babies with weak digestion and for older people, and in a Dominion Department of Agricul ture circular on buttermilk healthy people are advised to drink more of it. Buttermilk may be made out of skim milk. Allow the milk to sour natur ally at ordinary room temperature until it curdles, then shake vigorously until the curd is broken up. It should then be strained, covered and kept in a cool place. If a little whole milk or ■ very small amount of cream is added before serving the flavour will be very similar to old fashioned buttermilk. The souring of the skim-milk may be hastened by adding a small quantity of buttermilk or sour milk, but this starter should be freshly soured and of good flavor. Buttermilk may be us ed in many recipes, and a number are given in the circular which may be obtained from the Publications Branch. Department of Agriculture, Ottawa.
