WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1932 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Scorns The Big City For The Small Town Census bulletins issued by the Do- minion Bureau of Statistics indicate & trend toward the big cities. Many rural communities and towns have dwindled in population, to the advan- tage of the industrial centres. Well, you can take the big city. John A. Fisher, a former Canadian Weekly Newspaper executive, thinks he is getting the better of the bar- gain to be in a MI. all town. Many years he scribbled for city news- papers, travelled far before returning to his home town to edit the Picton, N.S., Advocate. And, having re-estab- lished himself in the towri, here is what he has to say: "Bless the small towns of the world. Many who have answered the call of the big cities have been glad to return to the friendliness and less strenuous pace of 'main street'. It is heart- warming to be greeted by your first t.an.v by those you meet, rather than with an impersonal glance. It is encouraging to count for something in the community enterprise without being a millionaire. It ia stabilizing to live in a neighborhood where all tho houses are occupied by their owners. It is a social asset to h.-> able to see your friends easily and frequently. It is good to establish your children where your name means something. It is sweet to be in your home town when the inevitable sor- row enters your life, and when you reach the mountain-top of happiness.' SHIP APPROVED COCKERELS Under the federal policy of cockerel distribution arrangements have been made to ship male birds which have passed inspection to Ontario points to supply demands for the coming breed- ing season. One lot of 200 cockerels is being shipped from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to Ontario, while another lot of around 500 birds is being shipped from the Western Pro- vinces also to Ontario. Most of these bird-J are Barred Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes. FLESHERTON HIGH SCHOOL REPORTS A Woman's Privilege as Well as a Man's HPHERE is not a reason in the world *- why women in business or at home should not enjoy the szme banking privileges men do. In fact, they do at all branches of The Canadian Bank of Commerce. If you open a Savings Account at this Bank, every courtesy and consideration will be extended to you; and you will find the prac- tical business experience gained in this way extremely helpful. A Savings Account is very con- venient; and, once begun, with regular deposits and interest added, soon grows appreciably. It means greater enjoyment, comfort and confidence.

RETURNED CHEQUE TO TWP. Robert Lennox, Councilman for W. Luther, created a little sensation a* the nomination nieetir;: at Damascus on Monday afternoon when he tore up his cheque for $30 which he had re- ceived as his commiaion allowance for his division of the Township. Mr. Lennox claimed he had not earned the money and so refused to take it. He had kept an accurate account of the time, and found it amounted to twenty-six and a half hours. His di- vision was well looked after, but he did not feel justified i.i accepting over ii dollar an hour for his services. Mr. Lennox states that he believes com- missions should be paid by the hour. Evidently he is opposed to charging u clay's pay, as is so often done, for the work of an hour or so. Arthur Enterprise. Presbyterian Church Held Annual Meting, Chalmers Presbyterian church of Fleshcrton held their annual meeting at the home of Mr. Chris. Thompson's on Thursday evening, January 7 and was well attended, the reports show- ing a successful year. Sacrement was observed four times durng the year.

The Treasurer's report showed the total receipts of $555.59. The women's Association report showed total receipts of $209.49, and the Sabbath school report showed a balance on hand of $4.82. After the meeting the ladies pro- vided lunch and a social hour was en- joyed by all present, with many ex- pressions of the services enjoyed dur- ing the past year.

James Wood Dies After an illness of several years Mr. James Wood passed away at his lute home on George Street, Mark- dale, on Thursday, Dec. 24, 1931 He had suffered from hardening ol the arteries and while he wa-3 failing for some time the end came suddenly. The deceased was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Wood and was born in London, England, 88 yeasr ag. In 1853 he came to Can- ada, settling first at Brampton. For several years he resided at Mitchell before settling in Euphrasia 43 years ago. Here he married Miss Kath- erinc Heathers, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Heathers. Until a few years ago they resided on the 7th line, Euphrasia. He i-s survived by three daughters and seven sons, namely: Mrs. Alex. Laing, Niagara Falls, N.Y.; Mrs. Alex. Moody, Flesh- erton; Mrs. Gordon Bennett, Euph- rasia; Roy Wood in Markdalc; Wil- fred at Saginaw, Mich.; Thomas in Flwherton; Delbert at Niagara Falls N.Y.; Gilbert in Pittsburg, Pa.; Will- iam at South River and Raymond in Toronto. One brother, George in British Columbia, and one sister, Mrs. Lougheed in Florida, also survive as well as 35 grand children and two great-grand-children. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon to Markdule Cemetery and was largely attended by friends and neighbor?. Rev. A. Milla conducted the services at the house and grave. The pallbearers were Messrs. John Bennett, David Lee, Robt. Fitzsim- mons, John Thibaudeau, J. J. Richaril- son and James Irving. The floral tributes included a pillow from the family and a spray from the Grand- children, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Wood of Flesherton Markdalc Standard. 5ei%ice OF THE (Sanabtau Jftritrut AnHanalmn GRANT FLEMING. M.D. ASSOCIATE SECRETARY PROTECTIVE FOODS A properly balanced diet is needed by all, both old and young, in orfoer that their bodies may be adequately nourished and thtt they may njoy good health. To secure a balanced diet, it is necesary to use a wide variety of foods. No normal person need worry about the lack of this or that partic- ular substance in his diet if, in ad- dition to usiv? a wide variety of foods he include regularly in his diet each day, milk and the leafy vegetables. The name "protective foods" has been given very aptly to milk and the leafy vegetables because of their ability to make good the deficiencies of other foods. This may be ex- pressed more directly by saying that the t'se of these protective foods makes certain that the diet is prop- erly balanced and that the person us- ing them will not suffer the loss of health and strength which occurs if the diet is not so balanced. Milk is one food for which we have no satisfactory substitute. It is the most important food for young child- ren. It is not, however, a food whose use should be limited to children. It is valuable throughout life and, there, fore, milk and milk products should form a regular part of the diet at all ages. Milk is food containing about 12: per cent of solids. From one quart of milk is secured about half a cup- ful of butter fat, milk sugar and small amounts of different minerals. We do not see these substances in milk as we use it because they are dissolved. They are there, however,, and when we take milk into our bod- ies, we receive all the nourishment which conies from food elements. Milk gives us the food substances which build up the body and repair worn out tissues. Milk is rich in calcium (lime) and phosphorus. The green leafy vegetables are also a source of calcium. The use of milk assures the body of sufficient calcium which, if deficient early in life, re- sults in the improper formation of the bones and teeth. Vitamins are present in milk. Their- importance in promoting growth and development in children in keeping both children and adults well is recog- nized. Vitamins are essential in our diet, and we can safely rely upou milk and green leafy vegetables for a large proportion of the vitamins we- require. One of the simplest and most ef- fective ways of protecting health is through the regular use of the "pro- tective foods" milk and the green leafy vegetables. Change Bonus System It has boon suggested that the Car- rick council should now abolish the wire fencf bonra system and substi- tute a bonus for plowing, levelling and cultivating of roadsides, for the pur- nose of combating the Teed nuisance. One ratepayer suggests that the 2nd vear potatoes could be planted 01 tho roadsides, and the cultivation of this crop would completely destroy all trrns and weed crops. The following spring the plowed roadsides might be seeded down with nlfnlfa at a rate of 20 pounds to the acre. This crop is cu* down two or three times a season and would thus keep all weeds in check A liorht bonus would be sufficient to induce the farmers to undertake thin means of fighting weed nuis- ance. Accident Was Fatal W. J. Matheson, Canadian National Railways yardmaster and veteran railroader, was instantly killed in the railway yards, at Gravenhurst, on] Wednesday last, while preparing a a freight train, the paper special for Mimico. Mr. Matheson was last seen by a railroad employee when in the act of switching a car off the main line. It is supposed he stepped on the rails to watch the caf go on the side track, while in the meantime two cars broke away from the rest of the train attached to the engine, striking him in the back and dragging his body about 40 feet. The above unfortunate man was a nephew of Mr. Thomas Bannon. His first wife, Mrs. Mabel Matheson, was a beautiful singer, and more than once delighted the congregation in town by giving her best in song. The sympathy of the people here will go to his relatives in this vicinity. CLEANING OUT COUCH GRASS The eradication of couch grass, otherwise known as quack, twitch or scutch grass, is one of the hardest problems with which the farmer has to deal. Few pepole realize the en- ormous quantity of couch grass roots which exijt in infected soil. Tests conducted by the Central Experiment- al Farm at Ottawa weights of roots ranging from 1.531 to 6997 pounds to the acre as much as a heavy crop of hay. No wonder it is hard to clean out when it spreads by roots as well as seed. Thoroughly cleaning out the roots is the one effective way of getting rid ol courh. In small areas this may be done by hand. In larger ^rcas by shallow plowing and working thoroughly with the cultivator to keep the roads turned up to the sun long enough for them to "kill." Only as large an area as can be thoroughly cleaned up at one time should be undertaken, as half-way measure! are only lost time and effort.
