fight for his position, certain to be unpleasant at least until October, 1928 unless recall petitions become a re- ality; 'or whether he will decide that the hand writing on the wall is plain enough, and resign, remains to be seen.
 Certainly. neither the counciI-man- ager nor Stratford is profitine by the present series of experiences Many believe that Hunter may as we'll leave new as a little later, and feel that he will be framed somehow or other eventually. Many voters, Hunter ad- vocates. or at least opponents to cer- tain Of the councilmen, believe that he should go, and that the voters can later circulate recall petitions to sat isfy grudges against any of the coun-
 cilmanic body.
 That Hunter still is manager in the meantime, despite what some of the council would try to make the public believe, was demonstrated last night when Hunter was quietly given at tertion while he read a. report per taining to the Fire department show ing loss of S19, for the first six
 months of the fiscal year, as against SS4,420 during the same period the year previous.
 An ordinance introduced at the meeting of the council last. night would change the names of several streets in the Honeyspot section, to avoid repetitfOns in other and older parts of the town It is not believed that the ordinance will meet with any opposition on the next. and final. req ding.
 The dress rehearsa1s for the next meeting of the council are expected to start immediately. An audience of capacity proportions is expected Council meetings are one form of amusement on which the spectator doesn't have to pay any tax.
 The prolonged agony is hurting Stratford. It is wasting time and time has been wasted in Stratford too long already. Spring is about here the time when a definite road and sidewalk program, should be in order. Some streets will have to have atten- tion, irregardless of any carefully laid plans of previous dating. Looks like Hunter will have to go. If all the council has to go to please him, the men might well prove real martyrs.

ROMANTIC DIAMOND IS
 PURCHASES BY CHINESE


 (By International News Service.)
 London, March 1.-The mas stve diamond, which once dazz1ed the eyes of admirers of Gaby Deslys, has passed into the hands of wealthy Chinese, according to dispatches received here from Shanghai.
 The famous stone which weighs 1O2.63 carats and is over an inch in width. has romantic history. Centuries old, the stone is said to have glinmered as the eye of an Egyptian goddess in an ancient temple and to have been q motive in some of the smaller wars of world history. More re- gently it has g1ittered in the tur- bans of court beauties.
 Recently the jewel was taken from Paris to China, where it was shown to a selected group, and eventually purchased for ap- proximately $60,000 by a wealthy Chinese
