Took Robin Into Home We reported the other week that a robin had been seen at the former Dr. Brown office on Victoria Street, and apparently the bird remained in that vicinity, for the family of Jfr* Joseph Tflker saw it last Thursday, starving and nearly frozen. They took it into the house, placed it in an empty canary cage, and gave it some- thing to eat. Now they find that it has become a household p4t, has gotten "thawed out," and enjoys the dry crumbs and other food which has been given to it. Every once and a while, the cage door is opened and it is allowed to fly around the house for exercise, but it never fails to re- turn to the cage and has made its home there. The bird has become quite tame and domesticated, and the family figure on keeping it in the house until the severe winter weather comes to an end, and it will not freeze when allowed outdoors, and will also be able to secure something to eat. â€" Hanover Post, WORLD DAY OP â-  PRAYER FOR WOMEN The Women's World Day of Prayer will be observed' Friday, Feb. 9'th, at 3.00 p.m. in the Baptist church.

BUCKINGHAM The weather this morning is grand considered to what we have been treated to the past couple of weeks. It certainly was nice and sunshiny on Friday for bruin to see his shadow, but they say all signs fail sometimes, so here's hoping. Some of the roads in this pai-t have been opened for fhe cars, so travelling will be much bet- ter for a time at least. Mr. Ross Davidson has secured >vork at Camp Borden. Mrs. Herb Hawton spent the pas.1 week at Collingwood, at the home of her uncle, Mr. Sam Parke, who has been very ill for two months. At the time of writing his condition was no better. Very little hope is held for his recovery. '{'he Rob Roy Ladies Aid met on January 26, at the home of Mrs. Neil McDermid. After opening and devot- ional exercises, the election of officers which had been postphoned, was held. Some of those retiring were re-elect- ed. The election resulted as follows: president, Mrs. Neil McDermid; Treasurer, Mrs, Clifford Bristow; Sec. Mrs. Arthur Brownridge. The bal- ance of the afternoon was spent quilting. Mr. Bruce Taylor spent the past week end in Collingwood. Mr. and Mrs. George Dixon of To- r<>nto visited with Mr. and Mrs. Will Conn, and then went on to Eugenia to enjoy the skiing, for which con- ditions were ideal over the week end. We are very glad to know that Mr. Stan Preethy is recovering nicely, having undergone «n openvtion ^n Collingwood hospital two weeks ago. Mr. Jim Conn Jr., spent the week end with friends at Battean. Officials of the Health of Animab Board of the Dominion- Department of Agriculture have commenced testing cattle in Derby and Sydenham town- ships. These T.B. tests are part of the work for prepairing Grey Cownty for a T.B. restricted area. Much work has already been done, but work has yet to be started in six of the county's 16 townships, and in only one town- ship, Osprey, has the work of testing cattle been completed. Work in Derby and Sydenham is the first undertaken in the northwestern section of the county. Kepple and Siftrawack, the other two townships adjacent to Owen Sound, have not been touched. The other four town- ships in which work has yet to com- mence are, St. Yii^cent> Holland, Ben- tick and Proton. Results of tests to date have been very gratifying as only 0.318 per cent of the cattle tested in the county have been reactors. Osprey is the only township in which the work of testing has been completed, but work in Normandy is nearing conclusion. In Artemesia over half the cattle have been tested, while in Sullivan township approxi- mately half the work has been done.
