brought to that sanctuary by a lady who found he was lost The Chief wants a word of thanks expressed to the firemen and we are very happy to obey such a request Mark should start a with this clipping of his early happy adventure in a good stote STRAW IN THE WIND from Page Why should the taxpayers of Aurora be called on to foot such an unnecessary expense Excel lent work can be done with the right men and good materials No better proof of this is needed than the construction of side walks which has been so effi ciently carried out by town fore man Jim and his staff in past years It may be that the Banner is a balloon to bolster council proposals behind the scenes and for that reason only its presence is worth noting AURORA SOCIALS from Page Hotel Among other ladies present at the Guides and Brownies ban quet at Trinity Anglican parish hall last week were Mrs retired Commis sioner and Miss Lemon hon orary member of the Ladies Au xiliary Mr and Mrs P Moffat have returned from a weeks
