Previous to the advent of pensions in their various forms, the people exercised frugality and were able to lay away sufficient funds to provide foi' old age, but since that time taxation has made it impossible for them to do so. Then the taxing of industry has made in- vestments in industrial enterprises unprofitable, as a result of which industry has suffered and conse- rjuently tinemployment is rampant. Thus the worker sees the little sav- ings he had made dwindling to the zero point and his power of earning also vanishing. It is claimed that sixty thousand of the people in Ont- ario who have been on relief are ni'W at the point where they could not work and save if employment were to be had.

Was ever a dress that simple? â€" Toronto Star. We doubt it, as we well re- member when the Bishop of Kings- ton solemnly indicted the girls of his day with "flirting with their petti- coat-s." Such a charge, fashion re- port has it, could hardly be made against the fair sex to-day. "They are not worn,'' is the declaration. • • « .\s evidence of the modern versa- tility of women is the announcement from the old land that Ishbel Mac- donald, daughter of the former British Prime Minister, has become landlady of the Plow Inn, at High Weycomb. She has, it is intimated, started in on a wave of popularity, as was doubtless expected, for she serv- ed an uni(iue apprenticeship as hostess for her father at 10 Downing Street, London. • * • Further fame has come to Dr. .â- \llan Dafoe of Callendar. His name has been added to "Who's Who," which sets the seal on renown honorably acquired. Thus the indefatiguable medical manager of the quintuplets gets into the British record of the world's great. With him is to be found '.Mtissolini, Hitler, Ghandi, Franklin D.

HKLL BE THKRE EDITORIAL NOTES Premier Aberhart of Alberta says the newspapers have given him a lot of trouble, so he pro|)oses to publish a newspaper of his own to i)ass the ti.iiibie nil to the (general public. • • " The Ethiopian soldiers fight bare- footed, and they do not wear much clothing of any kind. Their fuel bill is also small; even their butcher meat is consumed raw. However, the Italians have promised that if they <lefeat the sturdy .Xfricans they will reform their habits, and see that they change the menu to macaroni and olive oil. "Dinner." said the rector to his i;uest, "is at eiglit o'clock, but I give five minutes' jfrace." "Thanks for the warning,' an- swered his iireverent friend. "I'll be with you at H.D't." The first schedule of the Club is at present being played and many stirring contests are in vogue. Dr. Little defeated Roy Piper's rink last week by one point, playing an extra end. For the past week or so the mild weather has not been productive of much curling. Four Flesherton rinks took part in the Markdale bonspiel held Monday and Tuesday. TViree of the rinks were eliminated in the first day's play while G. B. Welton's rink went to the fciintli round in the second competi- tion. Some splendid games were held. Fleshorton's bonspiel is to be held on February 5th and 6th. HARNESS AND LIFE "He died in harness, poor chap." "Yes, and, by the way did you ever notice how much like harness life is? There are traces of care; lines of trouble; bits of good fortune, and breacheis of faith. Also tongues must be bridled, appetites lieined, impul!»es checked, passjons curbed, difficulties collared and everybody has to tug to pull through so as not to Ix' strapped.''

Beatty 1.11.â€" Kenneth Teeter. though things were going to run a- long smoothly, then things began to happen and both teams, a little hot under the collar, dug in their toes and played with all the best they had. At the very first face-off, Dundalk went down into the Flesherton zone and Acheson scored, facing-off again, Gorrell, as if for revenge scored one for Fleshorton tying the score, one all. Flesherton, not satisfied at be- ing classed with the enemy team sent two more calls along the line, by Patton and Smith, to end the period at 3 â€" 1 for Flesherton. The second period, the wildest of them all, registered both on the play- ers and on the tallies, with Smith and Johnson scoring for Flesherton and Acheson and McGuyrk for Dun- dalk. Smith of Flesherton and Thompson of Dundalk were taken off in this period, both being laid out with facial or head injuries. In the tnnd period, Dundalk had the best of the scoring, with three tallies, one by Copeland, another by McGuyrk and one by Acheson, Flesh- erton scoring one more, by Phillips, to tie them at six all. Dundalk could not see the last goal a? having gone in, when referee, Bert Hamilton over- ruled the goal umpire's decision, and there wa.s <iuite a dispute, which ended in Dundalk refusing to play overtime. The referee therefore centred the puck with the Flesherton team on the ice, Smith scoring the seventh goal to give Flesherton the game with a score of 7â€"6. The line up was as follows: DUNDALK â€" Goal, McCullough; Def., C. Thompson and Lyons; For- wards, R. Acheson. G. .\cheson and R. McGuyrk; .Alt., Copeland, Mc- Guyrk and M. Thompson. FLESHERTON â€" Cioal, Ferris; Def., Phillips and Johnson; Forwards, Gorrel McCutcheon and Sled; Alt., Patton, Smith, Boyd. ».

Works Fool Head OIF jThe other evening we had read to Us one of those apt (luotations that went something: like this, "A public spirited citizen is one who w-ill wurk his fool head off if made chairman of anything." We don't know what kind of an individual w-rote the item, and we're not absolutely certain why it was read within our hearing. But we've often wondered what could hap- pen if all the public-spirited citizens decided to refuse to become chairmen or acceiit public office and work their fool heads off for those w'ho sit back and find fault aiul refuse to acceiit appointments unless there is "some- thing in it for them." There isn't any doubt that there is some truth in the above (piotation. Perhaps too much truth for it to be repeated. .\nd again perhaps not even the whole truth, because many public-spirited citizens will put a lot of effort into commun- ity work in smaller offices than chairmanship. We've often wondered why and we've never yet been able to solve the iiroblem. .'\lways, however we've thoufrht how s|ilendi(l it was that so many citizens were public spirited enough to work their heads off for others. We don't agree that they are fool heads, but w-e do agree that they are usually unselfish minds who realize some responsibility to their fellow men. And we do notice that the.se citizens who work for others do seem to be getting some pleasure out of their effort as they pass along life's roadway. â€" Acton F'ree Press. • SENIOR GAME Chatsworth at Flesherton THURSDAY, JANUARY 16 SENIOR GAME : MARKDALE vs DUNDALK Monday, January 20th Semi- Pro.
