A dance was held in the Town Hall last night, for the purpose of assisting the funds of the Stratford District High School, but unfortunately the bad weather caused a small attendance, and the function will not be as big a success financially as was anticipated. There were about 50 couples present, and all who attended spent a very enjoyable evening. . The floor was in splen- [ did order for dancing, and music was proj vided by Mrs. Bianchi’s orchestra, extras being played by Messrs. C. H. Fox and J. H. Thompson. The M.C.’s were Messrs. D. Clarke nad W. Pinhey. GENERAL Although the town has been very quiet for some time past, local business men are beginning to look forward to more cheerful and busy conditions shortly. Window i displays in the various shops show that good stocks are being laid in, and a local business man expressed the opinion to-day that prices now are fairly stable. Merchants are quickly reaching the pre-war state when they could indent, freely, and latest advices from Home indicate that it is now fairly' safe to buy on the Home markets. With business more optimistic and the milk cheques beginning to come in it looks as if Stratford will soon be showing much more life than of late. Some misapprehension seems to have arisen from the report of the Borough Council meeting in Wednesday’s paper regarding the unsatisfactory condition of meat sales in Stratford. It was stated that, the inspector of public health had reported that the conditions under which meat was sold ■ were unsatisfactory. The incident which gave rise to the inspector’s report was merely seeing a quantity of meat hung up in one of the marts on the day after the sale, for private sale. He also recommended that sales should be stopped during the winter months. The remarks passed by various councillors concerning the satisfactory or otherwise conditions of meat sales were not reported. Particulars of T. Lamason’s weekly sale are advertised in this issue.
