WEDhTESDAY, JANUARY 17. 1983 THE Pl/BORWRTDN ADVAN"CE -JU.-^- Carry A Light When Driving At Night His Honor Judir« Owens made an important dt»cision at the Division Court sittingr^ here last week, a decis- ion that should clear up a very conten- tious question and establish a hard and fast rule concerning the use of Jights while driving cattle on the highway after dark. In giving judg- ment to a motorist for damages sus- tained when his car crashed into a cow on the highway at dusV, His Honor pointed out that when cattle are being driven on the highway after dark they must be accompanied by persons carrying a light, one in front and one behind. That tho farmer in the case, who had failed to comply with this rule, was elected to pay the damages is a clear indication of what can be expected in similar cases in the future. Since the law compelling all vehicles to carry a light after dark came into force there have been num- erous accidents because of failure to comply with the law. Judge Owens dcci.tion places the onus of blamt squarely on those who disregard the aw. It is hoped that all those who have occasion to use the highways after dark will realize their responsi- bility and carry lights. â€" Southampton Beacon. -HAVE YOU RENEWED?

Donald McDonald Dies Suddenly In Hospital Death came suddenly to Donald MacDonald of the 8th Line, Arte- mesia, at the Markdale hospital on Friday, January 12th, while under- going an operation for goitre. His genial disposition and sterling qual- ities made many friends here and throughout the Eugenia district, who were shocked with the news of his sadden passing. He was born in Proton township 62 years ago and came to his late home with his parents, the late John and Catherine MacDonald. In 190:3 he was united in marriage to Miss Lucy Sherwood of Eugenia, who predeceas- ed him in 1916, leaving a family of five young children, Selena, John, Sam, Neil and Lucy. With the as- sistance of his eldest daughter, Sel- ena, he succeeded in continuing the home and raising his family, who are a credit to him. Selena, Neil and Lucy reside at home, John at Codring- ton and Sam, a teacher, in Toronto, who are left to mourn a loving and devoted father. Besides his family he leaves two sisters and two broth- ers: Mrs. Wm. Cudmore of iWareham Mrs. Matthew Wood of Markdale, Meil and Archie of Froude, Sask. Another sister, Mrs. Wm. Barcley predeceased him. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon with service at his late residence at 2 p.m.. Rev. MacNeil, pastor of Eugenia United church, of which the deceased was a member, officiating. The choir of Eugenia United church rendered "He's the Lily of the Valley," and also assisted in the hymn "Asleep in Jesus." Rev. MacNeil delivered a very comforting sermon taking his text from Genesis 28: IG. Interment took place in Salem cemetery, the pallbearers be- ing friends and neighbors of the de- ceased. The floral tributes were beautiful and included a wreath from the fam- ily, sprays from Mr. and 'Mrs. Wood and Miss Etta Rowe of Markdale, Mr. Jos. Sherwood, Mr. and Mrs. Will Hawkins and family, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Martin of Eugenia, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Porteous and Joe, 8th line friends and neighbors, Miss Marjory Davis of Toronto, Mr. and Mrs. iW Carr of Codrington, Mr. and Mrs Edward Phillips of Toronto. Besides his family and sisters, the following friends and relatives from a distance attended the funeral: Matthew Wood, Miss Etta Rowe, Mrs. Robt. Burrell(, i Mrs. Archie Leitch, Mrs. Geo. Burrell and Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Harvey of Markdale and Miss Marjory Davis of Toronto. I Other Paper's :: I . Opinions . ;: ^ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦»»»«»»t»»»»»»»» HAVE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND (Shelbume F. P. & E.)

PLAY WONDERFUL PART (Creemore Star) It should be a source of pride and inspiration to every farmer to read the achievements of Canadians at the International Grain Show held in Chicago. The outstanding fact is apparent. iWe have the soil and the climate and if we make use of these Gtod-given opportunities we can keep the name of our beloved country ever in the front ranks. Fairs and exhi- bitions play a wonderful part in thus bringi'.ng before the public, facts that might othti-wise be unknown. Un- fortunately many good farmers have grown careless about making exhibits. This should not be. Let the boys and girls be encouraged to show the re- sult of their labors by placing it in competition. If it lacks in quality it is evident a better variety or im- proved culture is needed. In this way standards are created and the possibilities of our land are mad« known.

Hunter at her home in Collingwood on Monday, January 1st, 1931, shortly after noon. For months she had not been in Rood health and for several weeks had beon confined to bed, but it was the hope of many friends that a recovery would soon be realized. Mrs. Hunter was born eighty years ago, near Kingston and later came with her parents, the late Mr. a.-.d Mrs. Thcs. Perigoe, to Osprey town- ship, where they pioneered. About thirty years ago, following the death of her iornier husband, Hugh David- son, she moved to Collingwood, where she has since resided. Some years ago she was married to George E. Hunter, who now survives. A de- voted mother, a kind and thoughtful neighbor and a woman of fine char- acter, the passing of Mrs. Hunter has created a feeling of sincere regret. Besides her bereaved husband the deceased is survived by six sons of hor former marriage: William H. and Dow of Collingwood, Thomas, Jack and Harry, Toronto, and George H. of Sudibury, all of whom acted as pallbearers at the funeral which was held on Wednesday, January 3, at the late residence.

Baseball Dangerous A record of 4,400 "recreation accid- ents," not including motoring, publish- ed by the Fidelity and Casualty Com- pany, shows baseball to have caused the largest number of these mishaps, 18 per cent of the total. Swimming was responsible for 13 per cent, wrestling and "scuffling" for 6.2 per etnt, tennis 4.8, fireworks 4.4, hunting 4, golf 3.7 per cent. No figures are given for football. Even so harmless a game as pingponar is included anions causes of accidents but was respons- ible for only three out of the 4,400. qVEBWORKED MINISTERS (Durham Chronicle) The death of two Ontario cabinet ministers from worry and overwork in the discharge of their duties as heads d thoii- departments is to be regretted. Something more to be re- gretted is the ingratitude of those who sec nothing good in this class of citizen, who devote their lives to their country's service and give their best no matter what the cost. It is easy to criticize, but the fact remains that being the head of any governmental department, in Ontario or elsewhere is no sinecure these days. People who state that cabinet ministers or governments do not care for those who have elevated them to high positions are either making these statements for their own personal advancement or they do not know what they are talk- ing about. Politicians are human. It hurts them just as it hurts you or me, to know that their people are struggling along in want, and that nothing they may do seems to allev- iate their condition. The idea that anyone can get satisfaction out of the trials of others is a foolish one, and it is our further opinion that what hurts most is the apparent thankless- ness of those whom they serve. The Egg Market Egg prices in Flesherton Tuesday were as follows: Extras „. 20c Firsts 18c Pullet Extras 16c Cracks and Seconds _ 13c . ! Profit And PuUets At present, prospects look bright- for the poultryman and farmer who has a good flock of well-matured pullets. The cold snap will probably stiffen egg prices that are now offer- ing a fair margin of profit over cost of production in flocks that are lay- ing satisfactorily. At the present prices and with bet- ter prospects in view it will pay to- feed a good balanced mash ration liberally and to give sufficient grain at night to ensure a weil filled crop. Plenty of fresh water, with the chill off on cold days should always be provided. A frozen water pail left' too long means a serious crimp in production.
