Now we are informed that we are 'â- kely to be obliged to pay a larger censu fee for nur radios. This is the <ult of allowing the government to rb the radio and make of it a sec- Senate for sick and infirm sup- 's. The government which cau- -un a series of radio stations .i Canada and balance the radio .^ijugft is not likely to run the larger bu.siness of the Dominion any more satisfactorily. Even a novice who has studied the situation can understand why this state of affairs exist*. Toronto has a powerful station erect- ed at a ccst of about $260,000.00, discarding the station originally pur- chased at Bowraanville, and forty miles away, in Hamilton, squandered a lot more money by purchasing a private station there. They also pur- chased small stations from the Atlantic to the Pacific. All these, though perhaps not money-makers, were paying their way, but the government cannot make them do bo and asks radio users to come across and hints that they want 60 cents or $1.00 in addition to the $2.00 now chargedl 1m the United SUtcs the radio is free of any license fee and the two trreat systems over there are certainly not running their business without a profit. And they handle programs for which they pay big money. These programs are available to all Can- adian radio owners, without interfer- ence from the Radio Commission, although the Commission charges ua a big license for listening to them. Toronto has a powerful privately owned station which pays its way â€" i commentary on the ability of a costly Commission of highly paid people. By the way, before the government adds to our radio tax burden, it might inform the country just how much of our money goes towards the payment of salaries of the Commission. We fancy the details would be an eye- opener. Let the people in on the real reason why a license of any kind has to be charged users of radio. Most people consider it a racket which the government fosters lor the sake of its impecunious friends. EUGENIA Kugenia United Church annual meeting was held on Monday, Jan. 10, HI the afternoon, with a fair attend- ance. Mrs. Tudor read the report of the Sunday School, which showed a balance of 6.40, while the Woman's Association showed a balance on hand of over $30.00, after paying the salary of the caretaker $40, and $26 to the njinister's salary, also paying for the tables and benches for the church basement, besides other expenses. Mrs. C. Martin, W.A. secretary, read a detailed report for the year, while the Y;P.U. report, read by Winnetta Martin there was a balance of $5.00 in the missionary treasury after pay- ing to the M. and M. fund. Election of officers and other business.matters then took place. Rev. Elliott closed the meeting with prayer. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Martin attended the funeral of the late Robt.

Save the "blue" front of each box with the words "Royal Yeas Cakes Makes Per- fect Bread." Each front counts 10 votes. He is eager to earn a Univer- sity education and will certainly be grateful to all tho.se who will help, and it won't cost you a cent.

Mrs. Angus McLacblan left on Mon- day morning to visit her brother, Mr. Joe Black, who is seriously ill at Ni- agara Falls. PRICEVILLE Hot House Raisiog To maintain the Dionne quintuplets and their household requires no less than $2,000 per month, and if plans lor the girl.'*' future are consummated it will require considerable more than this to take care of them in the career the guardians are choosing for them, according to Judge J. A. Valin, one of the official board. Currently the annual levenue from money invested for them is ;J17,U00, I)lus royalties and income from other things. The famous children are worth over $.'(00,000 now and their forlunc will be increased to a million dollars before ihey become of age. 'I'o the ordinary mortal this is a lot of money, yet to carry out the schedule which the guardian.-; have in view there is little doubt that a large sur- plus fund will be required. "Instead of going to public school and having a rough and tumble time with the other kids, they will have to 'buy their privacy,' '' observes the New York World-Telegram. "Their school will be a private institution, their class- mates 'selected' village children, their 'contacts' guarded as closely as their health to keep them from becoming self-conscious. In summer time extra will be necessary to ward away the sightseers. What a life for little Yvonne, Emelie, Marie, Cecile and Annette! To save them from living in a goldtlsh bowl they must spend their youth "ift the hothouse. Many a youngster lucky enough to be born singly will envy them all their wealth and glamor! At the age of 15 '^| years the Dionnes are trailed about by a doctor, teacher, two nurses, three iruards, two maids, a housekeeper and a janitor. No wonder they have be- come so sophisticated that they are Bald to entertain doubts about Snntn Claus." On Wednesday afternoon the ann- ual congregational meeting was held in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church with Mr. A. Hincks in the chair. Mr. Allie McLean acted as secretary while the various reports were read ail showing a balance on hand. Mrs Wil- fred Watson was elected the new sec- retary and Mr. Allie McLean was ap- pointed to the Shed Committee. Mr. J. A. NichoU was appointed trustee for the McKinnon Hall. Rev. A. Sutherland closed the meeting with prayer. Priceville Old Boys' and Girls* As- sociation invite you and your friends to their annual euchre and dance to be held in the Pythian Ca<!tle Hall. 247 College Street Toronto, on Friday, February 4th. Come and enjoy an evening of cards, dancing, refresh- ments and chatting about the good old days in Priceville. Mr. and Mrs. Jack McFarlane of Toronto spent a few days last week with relatives here. Mr. Neilburt McKenzie is spending n couple of days at Dromore assisting his brother Bill in the bush. Our compliments are due the senior editor, whether in the festive season or not, for the fine write-up in the Globe and Mail. But the picture! Have you any notion of taking out a libel suit How does the good lady of the house take it? This reminds me of a social meeting held in a neigh- boring town, the question was asked if they knew we had sung before Royalty? "No, and what did the Queen say?" She said, "God Save the King." The report of the annual congrega- tional meeting of St. Columba United Church was held on Wednesday even- ing last, appears in another column. It is not necessary to enlarge upon it, but to say that it was splendid. All debts are paid up and a fine balance is in the bank largely due to the stirring enthusiasm of the treasurer, W, G. McBrido. He, together with the re- tiring managers, were re-elected. Thanks were extended to all who had helped. The hocky game held Saturday evening here by the school boys from Durham and Priceville, resulted in a score of 6-4 in favor of the latter. Wm. Noble of Durham refereed the play satisfactorily. Some good mat- erial was found, notable Elmer Turn- bull, who is slated for higher company. Back roads are terribly pitch-holey for rapid driving. Wm. Buskin Passes There passed away on January 12, in the General Hospital, Guelph, William Buskin, a highly esteemed resident of that city. He was the second eldest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. George Buskin, former residents of Markdale, and pioneers of Arte- mesia township, where he was bom and grew to manhood. He learned the blacksmitbing trade, at which he worked for several years, entering in- to the employment of the carpet mill in Guelph 35 years ago. He was a cap- able workman, efTicient in every way and won for himself the position he held far so long. He was in his 80th year and had enjoyed good health. He was very active and alert for his ad- vanced years and has visited here every summer for many years. He attended the Civic Holiday celebration here two years ago and met many old friends, which he thoroughly enjoyed. He was keenly interested in public affairs and was an active member of Norfolk Street United Church. In politics he was a staunch Conserva- tive. Three weeks previous to his death he suffered a heart attack while at his work at the mill and the following day he was moved to the hospital,: where, with other complications, he suffered, resulted in his death. He was married 50 years ago to his now bereaved wife, who is in frail health, and with one son, Willmott, and one daughter, Annie (Mrs. Taylor), are left to mourn a kind husband and father. He is also sur- vived by one brother, Wesley, of To- ronto and one sister, Maria, (Mrs. P. R. Blair) of Rocanville, Sask. The eldest brother, John, of Euphrasia, passed away almost nine years ago. The funeral took place on Friday afternoon and was very largely at- tended. Rev. Kenny, his pastor, had charge of the service and also the Masonic Order, of which the deceased was a member. Interment was mad* in the Guelph cemetery. The floral tributes were beautiful, showing esteem and sympathy of many friends, neighbors and co- workers. Mrs. Clara Wiley, Mrs. Willard Wiley and Mrs. Gordon Wiley of Markdale are nieces of the deceased. The two former, with Mr. Gordon Wiley and daughter. Miss Elsie, at- tended the funeral on Friday.
