Qua^tlcns bl" timtly iotereat to patents and teachers were discussed under the leadership of Messrs. K. G. Betts, Bert Sparks aad John Codi. The most lively discuss u.-i took plaroe around the subject of recrea- tion for youth. It was ro'rngnized that FIeid]«rton was fortunate in bein^ able to provide its youn? people with good facilities for jwfi»- zning, baseiball, tennis, skating and dancing, all under favorable auspia- ea. Some concern was expre'^sed over the long hours kept by some restaurants, leaving young people exposed to rowdyism and iiimora!- ity. Some hope was held that this nadght be remedied by earlier clos- ing. It was. recognized, however, that the primary responsibility rest- ed upon the parents, who could co- operate in giving their young people » good time without unnecessary risJES. Rev. A. G. Malpherson conduete*! the meeting and announced that the subject of his sermon on January 22nd would be "The Conquest cl Our Social Life,'' dealing with re- creation and amusement.

Plan Is Devised For Uniform Assessments .A plan to standardize oj-sessaieni procedure throughout Ontario muni- cipalities is in the final st-iges of revision ac Queen's Park and wiH handed to the Caifoinet for approval within the next few days. Queen's Park officials hope tkit the pljG will go before every muai- cipaiity in the next two weeks to give each an opportunity to put it into operation for 1951 taxation. General practice in the municipal- ities is to commence work on asses r>- men'CS early in Febiruary for taxation in that year. There has been a widespread d."- mand from municipalities and coanr- ty officials for a uniform system â- >£ assessment^ which w-'uid place eaclt on an equal basis in determining i"* taxation methods. The majority of municipalities niaintian chat any provincial govern- ment subsidy based on the mili rate* â- jueh as educational grants, is boun<i to be inetjuitable uicder the present rule of thumib assessment practices in vogue in most mrvmicipalities. It is pointed out that today assess- ments vary from 40 per cent to as rrruch as SO per cent of the actual value of properties. St, Andrew's Organ Fund Officers Were Elected Transients Fare Well At Dundalk Hotel Transients are again cramipiiig rround the country, simikir to the days of the early thirties wheT every village and town in Canada had soup kitchens for the undfor:- unate. Some of their demands were not very great, but ochers wanted better accominMjdation. We wonde* if Shis was »;he case recently in Dun- dalk when The H«raild reports that :i hotel keeper in that place was paid §265 for e.xpenses of a ti-aiisien:. The Dundaik hotel keeper must give wonderful service to warrant thi-j expenditure. We wonder if it was just a men-hanical slip on behalf of The Herald in tt'.>t ntafcing the am- ount dollars and cents or was rh^t the ciirrect chai-ge'; We don't thia'v for a moment chat somebody was receiii."ing a rake-off on transient ijccommodation.
