Well I guess the commissioners of pur telephone system forgot that the subscribers passed a motion that the premiums of the telephones were to i>e five dollars each for the' year 1933.

(Alliston Herald), The report of Hon. W. G. Martin, minister of social welfare, contains some very interesting and valuable in- formation. At the end of October there were no fewer than 6,525 On- tario families with approximately 19,- 575 children receiving assistance un- der the Mothers' Allowance Act. The total amount expended during the year was $2,806,239, which is a con- siderable increase over the previous year. There were also at the same date, 45,229 old age pensioners, an increase of 3,671 over the previoiis year with a gross expenditure of 19,- 097,496 of yrihich the Dominion gov- ernment provided $6,805,052; the province $1,466,888 and the municipal- ities $825,556. During th« year 2,- 690 crippled children received bene- fits by way of treatment and ortho- paedic equipment. Since the child ren's Protection Act was passed in 1893, 32,000 children have ibieen made wards of the Children's Aid societies, all of which is one answer to the question sometimes asked: '^Why have taxes increased." FARM FOR SALB LEAD HALF DOLLARS ARE INJIRCULATtON It was noticed in town on, Tuesday that several counterfeit fifty (tent pieces were in circulation, when one was noticed as it was given in change. They resemble the legal half dollar in design, but are consid- erably duller in appearance and smooth to handle, being made mainly of lead. When dropped they have not the ring of the silver piece and are also consideralbly softer and easily marred. A number of these pieces have been- discovered in various parts of Ontario, but this is the first in- stance of them being found in Flesherton. The annual school meeting was held on Wednesday, but it was poorly at tended. W. Ramage was v^ieJ to tht chair, and Elmer Watson as secre- tary. It was decided to countenance the school fair. Owir.^ to ii-.differ ence of the ratepayers in attending the meetings it was decided to not send a delegate this year or cont.i-:l)nte the customary $2.00 application feu W.

They are Misses Donalda Nichol, Marion Muir, AUie Mclnnnes, Alex. McLean, and possibly others. What was a narrow escape occurred on the farm of Mr. Angus Mc.\rthur on Friday last, when his two sons J. D. and Douglas, making some fix- ings about the car with the aid of a lantern resulted in a fire which de- stroyed cushions, the top, and a hole in the roof of the garage. An orchestra dispensed sweet music on New Years eve at St. Colranba, in "Silent Night," "Star of the East,' and accompanied the vocal selections as well. They were Mrs. J. C.

J** *' Seeking The News Because a paper is constantly seek- ing news to make its columns inter- esting to a wide circle of readers, many persons attempt to take ad- vantage of the editorial staff by hand- ing in advertising readers in the gfuise of news. When these are re- tumed^or do not appear in print, the readers invariably take it upon them- selves to hurl abuse at the paper. They consider the humanitarian ser- vices rendered by their special organ- ization as worthy of all the "free space" they can get. If these per-. sons would only stop to consider where the paper would be if every organization received the same a- mount of the "free advertising" they expect for their own society, the criticism would cease. There are still people, too who think the price they pay for their paper covers its cost of production. The amount paid does not pay for even the cost of the niaterials used in its printing. A newspaper's chief source of revenue is its advertising. And if this ia to be given free to -averj- organiza- tion whose members are enthused on a cause, where will the publisher turn for money to pay his expenses T^-r^' Petrolia .-Advertiser. ** PHONfifi: NIGHT OR DAY- KIngsdale 4344--345S •^ Modem Private Chapel J.
