Editor Old Osprey Resided Passes In The West EDITORIAL NOTES. There is nothing like soap, it has been well said. The estate of the| lato Lord Leverhulme, of "Sunlight 1 i fame, has turned out *o well that his ; trustees have been able to pay over a large sum a? scholarships for the London school of Economics. The advantages of Thursday as the weekly half-holiday is bein^ rc-cogniz- i-d, Palmcrston falling in line this year. Like Flesherton, they will keep open two nights a week Wed- ! nosday and Saturday to accommo- date the public. The Norwood Register, published by J. G. Keefer & Son for the past I 39 years, has been sold to Mark W. Bailey of Jaspar, Ont. J. G. is an old Flesherton boy who made good in the newspaper game and we are' sorry to see him retire, but the high standing of The Regjster 'will no doubt be kept up by the new editor. John Masefield, the well-known author, commenting on the prevailing depression in business, asserts that people have been asking too much from life, demanding greater wealth than life, ought to offer. The authoi in probably right. There is the add- 1 ed trouble that many persons are not contented with demanding more wealth from their fellows but resort to all kinds of expedients mainly crooked to beat their fellows out of their hard won earnings. It is this lack of contentment with little that brings about the crashes in business and the downfall of the adventurous and un- scrnpulus manipulators. It is true 1 that some of these gentry are punish- <<! l>y imprisonment, but far too many manage to escape while a crisis pre- vails, always ready to resume thoii nefarious trickery when good times come around the cnrnnr. Mr. Wm. Duncan of Armstrong, B. C., a former resident of Osprey town- -hip, and a reader of The Advance for a groat many years, passed away at his home in the West on April 17th The late Mr. Duncan resided on lot 7, 10th Line, Osprey. for many years He served as President of the Osprej Agricultural Society and also as a director of the Osprey Milling Com- pany and was a highly respected citizen. Mr. George Lawlor of Max- well is a brother-in-law of the deceas- <<!. The following is the report a* taken from the Armsrtong Advertiser: At the ripe old age of almost four score years, the death occurred, at his farm home one mile north of Armstrong on Sunday. April 17th, ot Mr. William Duncan. His death was the direct result of a stroke which he suffered ten days before when ai his work as usual, and on that day he had partaken of his usual hearty noon-day meal. From this stroke he never fully regained cemsclousness. although at times he was able to recognize the family. The late Mr. Duncan was born in Mulmur township, Dufferin County, on July 17th, 1854. When but a lad he moved with his parents to Osprey Township in Grey County, where he resided until coming West, anc settled in Armstrong in 1911. He lived a quiet life and though keenly interested took no part in public af- fairs. A successful farmer, he was held in the highest esteem and respect by all who knew him. He was mar- ried twice, his first wife, Caroline Hanley, predeceasing him over forty years ago. Later he married Martha Lawlor, also of Grey County, wh<. survives him. Besides his wife, he is survived by one daughter, Mrs. F. G. Bannister of Winnipeg, Man., and one son, Robt J. Duncan, at home; also one brother living in Collingwood, Ont., one sis ter in Erie, Pennsylvania, and another sister in Seattle, Wash. Mr. Duncan's death makes the first break in that family of two brothers and two sisters. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon from Zion United Church interment taking place in Armstrong Cemetery. Armstrong Advertiser. F. H. S. Oratory The annual oratorical contest of the Flesherton high school was held on Thursday afternoon last at 4 p.m., when splendid addresses were given by the various pupils of the school. Mr. R. G. Holland officiated as judge and before giving his decision spoke on the advantages enjoyed under the present educational standards. He pointed out that learning to deliver a public address was an oustanding ! privilege, and that even the beginners I had made a great step forward. Herb 1 Aikens, who spoke on "Mahatma I Ghandi" was awarded first place with Iiene Martin a very close second, | speaking on "Disarmament." The former was given the honor of speak- ing at Owen Sound the following even- ing, while the latter will represent the school in Miss Macphail's contest I on Saturday next. A silver medal i was awarded to Monica Lambert for her fine treatment of "Soviet Russia" and fourth and fifth place honors were won by Earl Johnston and Mar- i ion Shaw respectively. Jas. Radley Passes Just as we go to press this Wednes- day morning we learn of the death of Mr. Jas. Ernest Radley of Osprey I township at his home on Tuesday [night, at the age of 63 years. The funeral will take place on Friday, May 6th, with service in the Maxwell United Church at 2:30 p.m., with the ( interment to take place in the "amily plot in the Maxwell cemetery. JOS.

Hurley, an Owen Sound Colleg- j iate Institute student, took first place I in the oratorical contest in Owen Sound on Friday evening last to win the Daily Star trophy. Miss Marg- aret Donovan of Chatsworth took sec- ond prize, while James Palmer of Dundalk was third. Milton Hunt ot Allenford and Herbert Akins of Flesherton were also in the contest Herb won the cup last year The judges were W. S. Middlebro, K.C., of Owen Sound, A. B. Gardiner of Mea- ford and Rev. J. V. Mills of Wiarton. Mr. S. Thibaudeau, principal of the Flesherton school, presented the cep to the winner. While our own representative. Herb Akins failed to place in the competi- tion thus year he was far from dis- srraced, as his address was a real oratorical effort for the simple reason that he did not write his speech out and memorize it. but set down head- ings and spoke from them. A re- port appeared that Herb hesitated at i sevc'-al places in the speech, which ' , ounted atrainst him, but this was al- together to his credit, considering the circumstances and he will gain more experience and sm-enss by his his attempts to speak without com- mitting his speech to memory. The final debate in Group No. 1 In the Young People's Series in Grey Presbytery of the United Church, was held in St. John's United Church on Friday evening last, between teams representing Dundalk and Kimberley [Young People's Societies, and won by ' the former by a narrow margin. The subject of the debate was re- solved "that further steps toward disarmament should be taken im mediately by the leading nations ot the world." Miss Dinsmore and Miss Opal Weber of Kimberley upheld the affirmative and Misses Margaret Russell and Rt'by Fell of Dundalk supported the negative. The judges were Mrs. (Rev.) Scott and Miss Grey of Flesherton and Miss Armstrong of Meaford and their de- cision was two to one in favor of the negative. Both teams did excep- tionally well and brought forward some strong arguments. Mr. Howard Graham, County convenor, presided.
