Mr. McQueen of Stayner, a ' young man and student, preached in the Pres- byterian church last Sunday, so there will not be any Gaelic service during August. A large nun.ber of the con- gregation claim that Gaelic is now unnecessaiy in the church services. A number of years ago at a Presbyterian meeting in Durham the Gaelic. was under discussion, and a leading Highlander from Proton township said that he had studied the history of seioiiil languages to some extent, and he tirmly believed the Gaelic was very ancient, dating back as far as the garden of Eden. At this juncture the Rev. MoN--, who was clever at repartee, spoke up and said : " Well, I'm not surprised that our first oarenis were driven out of Eden for answerini? the Lord in .such gibberish as that." The big Highlander's face twitched considerably when Uie laugh turned against him. Pte. Robert Uonkey ruturoed Irem the Toronto hospital last week and is with his mother at present. Mrs. T. A.

The Fuel Controller'.s uiifullilled promises will not keep Jack Frost under subjection by and by. Tlie outlook is not bright at the present time. Citizens are aiixicus that the Council take up the matter and secure a supply of fuel from some source which may bn available ^n the fall.
