For many years they have been a drag on our business. Doing a credit business as we have been, some customers take advantage of us in making us wait for our money, consequently we have had to go to our banker and hire money and pay 7 per cent, interest, which cuts down our profit. Besides, some never pay, caus ing a big loss to us. Under the new plan, which we will put into effect on the first'of January. 1929, our customers will reap the bene fit No new accounts will be opened. Customers running monthly accounts must pay monthly, with no balance left All old accounts will be considered due on January 15, 1929, and any re maining unpaid at that date will be closed until settled. All past accounts must be settled in some way by Feb ruary 15, 1929 Then there will be no favoritism shown. All customers will be treated alike and pay the same price. By selling on these terms we will be able to take advantage of any discount offered by the wholesale firms, cut down the interest we have had to pay the banks and pass the reduction on to our customers, as all goods win be marked at the lowest possible prices.

Sir Hector Cameron, one of the most brilliant surgeons in Scotland and a pupil of the great Lord Lister, has died al the age of 85. A great deal of attention and com ment has been aroused locally by the display of toys in the window of the C.P.R. Telegraph office. These toys, over 100 in number, were broken and discarded toys, collected by the Boy Scouts of Avondale Church and re paired and painted by them for dis tribution at Christmas time. The boys are t5 be congratulated for their en terprise and for the remarkable way in which they have done their work. They have made the toys look like new, and they have spent a good many hoyrs at this work. It is a piicc of work which shows the real Scout spirit, and also what boys can do. Fifty of the toys have been sent to twenty children living in south-eastern Saskatchewan, children of new Canadians who are spending their first Christmas in Cansda. The remaining toys have been given to the Lion's Club for distribution locally. The boys wish to thank those who have donat ed toys and money for postage, and especially they wish to thank Mr. Nor man for hit kindness in exhibiting the toys, for the display signs which are his handiwork and for the use of his truck, also The Tillsonburg News for the use of their columns. Next-year the boys expect to repeat the venture, on a large scale, and they ask that you will save broken toys for throughout the year.

(Brantford Expositor) The appointment of a strong radio commission, with such an outstanding national figute as Sir John Aird as chairman, indicates that the Govern ment intends to give considerable at tention to the radio situation. It is understood that the commission will visit the United States. Britain and Europe as well as study conditions here, with a view to determining the best method for the regulation of broadcasting. The main choice in this regard is between the American sys tem of private broadcasting under li cense and regulations issued by the Federal commission, and national broadcasting, as in Britain and Ger many, where the stations are all owned and operated by a central organiza tion controlled by the government. Owing to geographical conditions. Canadian broadcasting resembles that in the United States more closely than that of Britain. In the latter country, distances arc so short that there is only room for a few stations, and a strong station easily covers the whole country. National broadcasting lends itself to these conditions very well. But in Canada the difficulties of such a policy would be much greater, though not insuperable in view of the develop ment of the chain system which links the stations of various part* of the country together, and which facilitates high class programs for all districts at reduced cost*. Perhaps the greatest danger in national operation is the possibility that the radio might be used unfairly for political purpose*. But this could no doubt be avoided by a strong, independent controlling body. However, the system of private own ership appear* to work fairly well on this continent, if the authorities arc strict enough in making the various stations keep to their own wavelengths and power maximum. The difficulty, of course, is that more and more firms are desirous of Operating stations with the result that wave channels arc not available for them all. This trouble would not be acute in Canada yet. if the United States commission would agree to leave an 'adequate number of wave channels free for Canadian use. Evch these, however, would eventually be overtaxed. It is well, therefore, that the new commission ha* been ap pointed and it will no doubt have a permanent solution worked out in the near Dr. Henry McQueen Dr. Allan McQueen DENTISTS .

Discovery of a boy's cap on the ice on tbe Irvine River near Salem, on Sunday morning, led to the discovery of the bodies of George and Harold Sanders, 12 and 8 years old, respectiv ely^ sons of Mr. and Mrs. G.

It is felt that if I such persons have money for liquor they should not be receiving public aid. The following circular has been issued : "From time it can be dis- cancelled on the . ground* that the bolder is not in any position to afford the luxury oi pur- I chasing liquor, and on the ground* that I the purchase* arc really made at the expense of the home. Liquor ought to come after, and a long way after food, clothe*, fuel and other necessities of life. 1 am a!*o of the view that in some instances the necessities of the poor are taken advantage of and liquor ob tained on their permit* by cither men on the large list of those who have taken liquor to excess, or those to whom liquor ought not to be sold. viz., the keepers of dive*, etc." Dr. Harvey J.

Why is it so joyous? “I. Partly because no other day re minds us so persuasively of the infinite love of God toward* Hi* erring and rebellious human children. "God so loved the world"—the whole world, white people, black people, yellow and red— so loved them all that He sent Hi* Son to save them from missing the glory for which He created them. I* not that cause for joy? “1 Partly because He who wa* born a* on Christmas Day showed such love and good will toward all, and especially towards the poor and unfortunate, the weak and the helpless, as had never been seen in the world before, and ap proximately since only in Christian countries. This attitude was entirely new; and yet so compelling has it be come that even those, who have not accepted Him personally as their Saviour, feel the constraining power of Hi* example to be »uch that they, too. must at this time show something of Hi* good will and love for the weak and helpless*. This, too, is cause for joy. "3. Partlv also because He who was born as on this day was and it the Almighty Son of God—able to save to the uttermost all who will trust them selves to Him—save them from evil in life and from hople»*ne»s in death. For is He not the “Dayspring from on high who hath visited us. to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death and to guide our feet into the way of peace?” “‘O’come, let u* adore Him. Christ the Lord.' ” "Wishing you all a happy Christmas. "Believe me, your* faithfully, David Huron."

BROOK® Pho~ M# The following from a Philadelphia Bper refers to a former Tillsonburg y, who started hi* playing with the Little Red* and the Pan Dried team* of thi* town. He is a brother of Mrs. W. L. Armstrong: In baseball we find the veterans hit ting their »tride when the *eason is in fuH swing. In the early stages of the race the "old man" just comes along gradually.It seems that the same condition ex ists in other sport*. It take* the vet eran more,time to gvt in proper shape and longer to reach his peak than the younger man. There is no difference between base ball and ice hockey in this respect. Take Andy Andrews, centre man of the Philadelphia Arrow*, a* an ex ample. Andrew* is no youngster. He is in I hi* thirties, but he still know* how to play the game. However, it takes Andy a little extra lime to hit hi* »tride and now it seems the little centre man has found himself. The short face-off man broke out in hi* real style at Providence la*t Sat urday, when he wa* instrumental in the Arrow* winning by a 3-1 count. And he ha* been hitting on all cylin ders since then. Wednesday night, when the local* took the meature of the Springfield Indians. Andrews wa* all over the ice. breaking up the play of the champion* before they could reach the blue line. And Andy wa* performing under a severe handicap. In the battle with the Newark bull dog* at Providence last Monday a rival stick found it* way into Andy’s right eye. It ripped off the eyelash and half dosed the optic Andrews admitted he could hardly see out of the eye Wednesday, but showed gamenes* in keeping hi* team in the fight. Andy came dose to being an Arrow last year, but the officials of the team figured he was through as a player, be cause in 1926 he broke hi* ankle. The centre ice man came back last year with the New Haven Eagle* and play ed in fine style.His performance* last season made the Arrow* realize he was far from through. So much so that Irwin P. Wcncr, managing director of the team, and Manager Norman Shay didn’t hes itate one moment in purchasing An drew* when the deal wa* presented to them.Andy it rapidly recovering from his eye injury and expects to show his real style next Wednesday, when the Arrows hook up with the New Haven Eagle* for the first time at home. Fortunately for Andy and the rest of the boys, the Arrow* do not have a game scheduled until next Wednesday.

On Tuesday evening last a very pleasant event took place when two of the employees.

The presentation was made by Misses Ann Clark and Edna Walker, while the ad dress was read by Mr. J. S. Morris; To Mr. and Mrs. Goes: On this, the occasion of your launch ing on the sea of matrimony, we feel that we could not let the ship get sailing, without in some slight way showing the friendship that we have held towards you both while working as co-cmployees with us at the C.M.P., and where those who have worked, with you know of the friendship that has existed, and we join in wishing you both many hap"” years of mar ried life, and all the sunshine, and little of the shadows cross your path along this voyage. At this lime we would ask you to accept this silverware as a small token of the friendship expressed, and we trust that as the years go by in its use it may bring back to memory the pleasant times spent amongst those who arain wish you well and that hap piness and prosperity may be your lot through life. The Employees of the CM.P. Health Service of the Canadian Medi cal A»*ociation. There have been time* in the history of man when physical perfection was regarded a. an end in life. There arc to-day a few persons who think of phvsical development in ii—*' something worth striving for, they devote considerable time and effort to attain the condition of physic al development which they admire. Most people, however, regard physi cal develpment and health in general, not as an end in life, but rather a, a mean* to an end. Heahh is '.he step- ping-stone which make* it possible for us to reach the height* of personal achievement* and service, which, gen erally speaking, are not attained by those who do not possess health.

In spite of all that is being said about Canada’s need for more people, it is much more important foe Canada that the people who are now here be given every reasonable opportunity to attain health. The protection of the health of the live* of Canadian Mother*, the safe guarding of the native-born in infancy and childhood, arc our first duties, and they are the best foundation for national pro»penty and happiness.The expenditure of money on Public Health is an investment that give* cood return*.

He was tjorn in Roche, Cornwall, England, in 1842, and when ten years of age his father died, and shortly after his mother and her two boys, James and John, came to this country, where Mrs. Pollard had brothers, and where they thought op portunities were better than in the Old Country. They settled in Dereham, near Mount Elgin. At that time the late Richard Williams, who had known Mr. Pollard's father in Eng land, and who came to Canada many years before, resided on the home stead this side of Mount Elgin, and it was there that Mr. Pollard met the daughter of the house. Miss Martha Williams, who has been his helpmate for nearly 65 years. They were married at the Williams homestead on the first of March, 1864, and for a time Mr. Pollard followed the occupa tion of farming. This was not con genial to him, however, and he decid ed to take up the work of photo graphy. He had a natural gift in sketching and painting, and he opened a gallery in Tillsonburg in 1871. For a number of years he employed a photographer, and thus learned the business. At that time the business section was on Oxford street, where the first gallery owned by Mr. Pollard was situated. He afterwards bought a store about where the Dominion store now stands. This was a three- story wooden structure, and the fam ily had onlv been in it a year when fire destroyed the block from Oxford to Ridout streets. The family ther. consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Pollard and their two eldest children. They lost everything in the fire except the clothing they had on and it was neces sary for them to make another start in-life. Mr. Pollard then bought the fine property on the corner of Broad way and Ridout streets, where he erected a new gallery, and has since carried on business. Great changes have been made in photography since the days when Mr. Pollard opened his first gallery in Tillsonburg nearly sixty years ago. At that time the photo most commonly taken was the tin-type, costing 25 cents each, and' most of the business came from -per sons who dropped in through the day and had their pictures taken, which they waited a short time for and took away with them, as each tin-type was finished up at once and given to the customer, who sometimes had several taken in different poses at one sitting. Deceased was a faithful member of St. Johns Anglican church, where he was a regular attendant as long as his health permitted. Besides his wife he is survived by five children—three sons,'Fred., who was in partnership with his father, Albert of Buffalo, and Harry, photographer of Calgary, Al berta, Louisa and Florence, at home. There arc also fourteen grandchildren Mr. Pollard’s death was the first break in the family, truly a remark able record. He also leaves one brother, John, of Dereham. The fun eral was held on Sunday, with service at St. Johns church, conducted by the "rector Rev. W. H. Dunbar. The Ell-bearers were Messrs. John Mc- tyre, William Brown, W. H. Jackson John VanLoon, William West, and Charles H. Parker. Interment was in . the Tilllsonburg cemetery. Mr*. Harold Boughner The funeral of the late Mrs. Harold Boughner was held on Thursday last, and was the largest ever held in his vicinity, many friends and relatives being present from a distance to pay their last tribute of respect to her memory. A short service was held at the house, after which the remains were conveyed to the Langton Baptist church, where service was conducted by Rev. W. O. Bristol of Brantford, a former pastor, assisted by Rev. Chas.Saunders of Langton. The pall bearers were Messrs. H. S. Card, Leo. Mabee, Stanley Deeg, George Deeg, Arnold Fletcher and Frank Chambers. Six members of the Philathea class, of the Langton Baptist church, Mes- dames W. Cowan, Stanley Deeg, Leo Mabee, Arnold Fletcher, Jos. Brown lee, and H. S. Card, acted as flower bearers. Interment was made in the Langton cemetery.

Hamilton, Simcoe; Warden Townsend of Wal singham; officers of Walsingham Mas onic Lodge, Port Rowan; officers of Delhi Athletic Association. The I ate Mrs. Boughner was born at Kokomo, Ind., twenty-six years ago, and was married to Harold Boughner of Langton, at Mortlacb, Sask., in 1917, and has resided in Langton ever since. She was of a loving and happy disposi tion. and gained for herself a very wide circle of warm friends, who were greatly shocked at her sudden pass ing, and will sincerely mourn her loss. She was an active and consistent mem ber of the Langton Baptist church where she will be greatly missed. Be sides her husband she leaves five small daughters, Eileen, Alice, Fran ces, Mary Beth, and Dorothy, also her mother, Mrs. J. D.

Pastors’ and Paopla’s Conf«rvnc«__ “Annual meetings for fellowship may be quite enough for those whose hearts are hard and whose love is cold, but churches who enjoy the blessing and power of God in all their services crave opportunity to rehearse to others what they have seen of the wonderful works of God, and delight also to hear of ike wonders wrought in sister churches. The Pastors' and People s Conference is just such a fellowship. It is made up of groups and churches within a given radius who have united with the Union of Regular Baptist Churches of Ontario and Quebec About once a month they gather at one church for a day of fellowship. Meals are pro vided for all who come and hospitality extended to those who desire to stay over night. Three sessions are held, morning, afternoon and evening, when one of the visiting pa«tors bringsa message rom the Word of God. A(ter each message the meeting is thrown open for praise, prayer and The twelfth conference was held at Courtland, in the Baptist church, on Tuesday. Dec. 11th.

St- Thomas, Dec. 14.—At the meet ing of the Southern Ontario Highway Association at St. Thomas, Thursday, called to discuss the future of the North Shore Trail, it was revealed that the department of highways has given its assurance that No. 3 highway will be completed by July 1. About 20 miles of road are left to be paved, from the west boundary of Elgin county to within a few miles of Blen- hiem. Considerable work preparatory to paving is being undertaken this fall The meeting presided over by the president, J.P. Coyle, of Aylmer, was unanimous in its belief that the North Shore trail would soon become one of the most popular of Canadian drives, if not the most used short cut from Windsor to Niagara Falls. The com pletion of the Windsor bridge is ex pected to bring a new flood of tourists to Canada, and it is therefore supposed that No. 3 highway, with its scenic beauty and minimum mileage, Will be come a popular route for tourists. Plan Publicity The meeting discussed the advis ability of employing a man full time to advertise the highway and reach the tourists. His duties will not only com prise organizing the route from border to border, but will include traveling the principal thoroughfares of the United States and distributing litera ture concerning the beauties of lake drive. The meeting went briefly into subject of the west end entrance assurance was given by Aid. G Smith, of the St. Thomas City Coun cil, that the matter was well in hand and that solution can be expected early in the new year. Aid. Smith and City Engineer Miller have been work ing on a new approach for the west end entrance and believe that they have found a solution which will be acceptable to all parties concerned. Another meeting of the organization will be held on January 10, when a rep resentative gathering of all the muni cipalities on the route is contemplated the the and II.

A OSTRANDER Otterville, Dec 14.—Much interest and enthusiasm is centring around Gypsum Ridge, at the present time, owing to the fact that more gypsum has been unearthed on the farm own ed by A. Lee, which is two miles ,east of the John Ryder farm, where a valu able deposit of “the material was dis covered three years ago. The latest find is in the neighborhood of thirty feet in thickness and as several feet are pure white and it is near both hydro and railroad, it makes it one of the richest in the province. Assays of the deposit taken from the Ryder farm show the mineral to be of high quality. Exoerts have been at work to as certain the real extent of the deposit and to get samples. There is a ridge of ground running through these farms for several miles cast and west.

Oe loyal Sank of ttanaba' Internal and External Pains are promptly relieved by DB THOMAS’ ECLECTRIC OIL •<FO“ ,T1 She’s always ON THE JOB THIS YOUNG LADY is coming to work. She is an operator. She is always on the job whether it is stormy or not And at what ever hour you call her she is pleasant and efficient The people in the telephone service make cour tesy a habit. It is part of the efficiency with which they serve. There are 15,000 men and women engaged In the telephone system of Ontario and Quebec. They handle over four million calls every dav and, in spite of the constant cry for speed, there is scarcely a case of conscious discour tesy or neglect THE COMPANY IS PROUD of these 15,000 men and women and has endeavor ed to make their work as agreeable, healthful and stable as possible. Several hundred present employees have been with the system for more than twenty-five years. This stability of staff maintains high standards of operation and is encouraged by the Em ployees’ Pension and Benefit Fund, established in 1917, to protect employees in illness or acci dent, and to provide for their future and for their dependents. There is also a plan of Employees’ Life Insur-’ ance, by which out of salary, employees may carry without undue burden insurance to care for their dependents. This plan has been ar ranged in co-operation with Canadian insur ance companies at regular rates. IN ADDITION to this factor of stability an active interest in the telephone system is encouraged by the plan of employees’ purchase of shares and.by the plan of employee repre sentation. Some years ago telephone employees were given opportunity to become shareholders m . the company and i0,390of them hive subscribed for shares on instalment payments. For some years also; spokesmen selected by the staff have met with representatives of the manage ment to discuss such matters as wages, hours, tools and working conditions. This has not only stimulated interest but promoted effici ency. HESE THINGS are the basis of the alert ness and enterprise which have become a tradition of telephone w’ork. It is demonstrated among the 4,900 men in the plant department. Over 3,500 of them have qualified for St. John’s Ambulance Corps first aid certificates and because of their outdoor duties they arc frequently nearby when acci dents occur. There have been many instances in which their voluntary response has saved life and relieved suffering. The same spirit has become familiar in the enterprise and courage with which operators rise to an emergency. CORNELL There are a number of cases of "flu in the village. Messrs. M. Clifford and I.

Experiment* carried on at several Dominion Experimental Fann* have shown that clean eggs which graded 75 per cent specials and 25 per cent ex tras before storage, graded 85 per cent, extras 12 per cent, first*, and 3 per cent weak and watery after six months storage. Dirty egg* grading similarly when placed in storage came out prac- tically on a par with the dean eggs. Washed eggs, however, stored under similar conditions graded only 45 per cent, extras. 24 per cent, firsts and 31 per cent, weak and watery, or nearly 50 per cent, inferior to both the dean and dirty eggs. Evidently the washing of egg* de tracts from their keeping qualities to such an extent that it may be consid ered to be bad practice. It is advisable by cleanliness and sanitation on the poultry' plant to avoid the producing of dirty eggs. Dirtv eggs, when obtained, should be marketed as such. By wash ing them the poultry-man is placing a product of inferior quality upon the market. Dereham Lodge Instal Officers Considerable damage was caused by Mr. John Miller, who has iu.t re*:.
