I am happy to be able to in- !{ form Percival's many friends that he is well and fit. Percival hates the snow and cold and has therefore remained largely at his home, being rather more ap- preciative of the winter scene looking out from the warmth of his fireside, than by being out and suffering the miseries thereto. f | Honor H. L. Fair With 25-Year Pin Completion of 25 years ser- vice with the Ontario Govern- ment was recently marked by the presentation of 25-year pins by Hon. Wm, A. Stewart, min- ster of agrculture, to Mr. H. Lynn Fair, agricultural repre- sentatve for Ontario County and to the Bruce County representa- tive, G. Gear.

A native of Bruce County, "Mr: Fair attended school in Kin- cardine and received his B.S.A. degree from the 0.A.C., Guelph. Following graduation he was appointed to the Agricultural Representative Service of the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture as assistant agricultural representative in Wellington.

However, with his usual eye | for business, Percival recently | has made a number of forages § into the village and has, result- 3 "antly, asked me to publicize the pA following: FOR SALE -- New and used Good condition. Cedar, spruce & scotch pines. Buy now and save. Phone Per- | cival Thistlewort, 985-0001 (De- livery extra).

Such predictions are not of necessity in order of happen- ing. .
