Miss Blanche Hammond and Ruth -Stuart of Kimberley visited their grandmother, Mrs. MucMuUen, over the week end. Quite an excitement was caused in the vllage on Saturday morning when it was learned that the Munshaw House was on fire. There being only a few men in the village at the time, the ladies all turned out and played no mean part in extinguishing the flames. The fire was caused by a spark from the chimney and the wind being so high the fire soon made headway, but was got under control by the bucket brigade. The men of the pipe line were phoned for and were on the scene in ten minutes from the time they received the message. Very little damage was done outside of the roof itself, which was badly burned.

CAR ACCIDENTS HERE Two light car accidents occurred this week in this vicinity. While driving near Kimberley on Monday afternoon something broke on the steering gear of Dr. TurnbuU's car, and it unceremoniously headed for the ditch where it suffered consider- able damage. It took a few hours for repairs to be made. Tuesday at the noon hour when Mr. John Fawcett, mail carrier, was at the station a front wheel came off his car while crossing the railway track. No special damage was done although some hustling had to be done to get the car out of the way of the noon train, which was approaching. The man who trots around the room all night with a crying infant in his arms and happen.s to remember that of such is the kingdom of heaven is likely to backslide. B. H.

Commercializing Mother's Day That Mother's Day, which was observed last Sunday, is being so commercialized by <he florists and others that the true sentment of the occasion is being threatened by greed, was quoted from the Angli- can pulpit here on Sabbath morn- ing last by the rector. Rev. R. Per- due, as being the open charge made by Miss Anna Jarvis, of Phiadel- phia, founder of Mother's Day and Prosident of the Mother's Day Inter- national Association commercia- ization of Mother's Day is grow- ing every year," says she. "Since parts of the world, many things have tried to attach themselves be- cause of its success." | "The white carnation is the emblem of Mother's Day because it typifies the beauty, truth and fidelity of mother-love. But it does not mean that people should wear a white car- nation. This false idea has led to florists flagrantly boosting the price of white carnations for the Mother's Day trade." "The red carnation has no connec- tion with Mother's Day. Yet florists have spread the idea that it should be worn lor a mother who hag passed away. This has boosted the sale of red carnations."-. That the real spirit of Mother's Day may survive the greed and commerc- ialization. Miss Jarvis suggests that it be observed in the true sense, as a day of deed and sentiment â€" a day to inspire deeper feeling toward the home and especially its motherhood, â€" Bruce Herald and Times.
