THE FLESHERTON ADVAMCE WEDNEfiDAY, FEBKUAJIT U, 1»84 • « » t iLWAYS TWO SIDES IN ANY ARGUMENT In commenting on the recent hockey same when Shelburne visited town and took the first of the play-otf gamei from Flesherton 3-2, the Shelburne Free Press and Economist has the following to say: â- 'A very regrettable incident occurr- ed towards the close of the game in the players' enclosure. Several hooli- Srans, together, it is claimed, with two Flesherton players, attacked Harry Crawford, Senator defence-man, and tried hard to give him a good beating- up. Fortunately their zeal was over- done and Harry gave much more than he received. Apparently this was the 'revenge' a northerner was getting for the medicine received at Harry's hands when Reiferee Zinn was attacked during the game with Flesherton in Shelburne several weeks ago." This account is very amusing to the people up here and the Shelburne ed- itor is all wet on this battle. The above may be the victim's version of the affair, but we can assure the F. P. and E. that only one man took part in the scrap, even though the resulting damages may have appeared to lead one to suppose the opposite. No other players were embroiled in the one sided melee, although there were- three or four Shelburne players in the timekeeper's box at the moment who CO i!d have helped, but didn't. One blow was all that was needed by the Flesherton assailant to make his Shelburne victim fold up, hide his face by leaning over the railing and fly to the dressing room to repair the dam- ages inflicted by a smaller man. The Flesherton man grave plenty of wam- â- ing of his attack, which was opposite to what Crawford meted out in Shel- burne, according to the victim, when the first attack took place a few weeks ago which Crawford should have been penalized for and wasn't. The writer was an observer of the last little contretemps, while the Shelburne editor has his authority from reports presented to him. presented to him. We would like to see the Shelburne paper give justice to their opponents, but the citizens cannot judge properly when such er- roneous statements as the above are circulated. Writes.

Leagse Since hockey has been laid on the she'.f in Durham .,pc-t fans in that tov.-n are now a lv.)c.-itinor che foriniris CI :•. baseball t?aiii for >;(.nrpLtitic.n this summer. The Review advocates t'lc forming of a team to enter the Ce..tre Grey Baseball League with Dundalk, Kimberley, Markdate and Flesherton as opponents, clau-iing that plenty of material is runnins around loose in and about that town. We are sure that Durham's entry in the League would be readily accepted an J Would make the Centre Grey League race more interesting. Softball, ap parently, is falling flat in Durham as it has in other places and it is though that baseball would be given the glad hand by the sporting fraternity. Go ahead, Durham! The following are excerpts from a letter received from our townsman, Mr. Geo. Mitchell, who is wintering in Lynn Haven, Florida :- We left home on the 25th of Nov- ember, IC'33, when the road was very icy and it took one hour and a half to reach Shelburne; after which the rocd was excellent to Toronto. We left Toronto at 9 o'clock a.m. on Saturdaj^ going through all the large cities, Hamilton, IBiantford, Woodstock, London, Chatham and Windsor. I was more than surprised at the size, importance and apparent wealth of those cities. The farms all the way are excellent, none better, with first class homes on every one, principally brick â€" I sure thought of a poem rn the old fourth book (The stately homes of England how beauti- ful they stand.) You very likely would remember this poem. The road between Toronto and Windsor is excellent â€" well marked No. 2 â€" no trouble going through the largest cities. We had given us by courtesy of the motor leag^ue the shortest route and the different numbers we were to use, also the best hotels. We reached the wharf in good time and had not any trouble in getting across the border â€" asked us a few questions, no head tax, which pleased us immensely. We had a trunk and two large grips on the back of the car well strapped and tied on, which. I thought would have to be taken off, opened and examined. Not one thing was disturbed and the officials were just as courteous and efficient The W.MJS. met in the Unit/id Church on Thursday of last week, with Mrs. Geo. Mitchell's group taking the program. Mrs. O. W. Phillips occupied the chair, and the meeting opened with the hymn "I lay My Sins on Jesus," which wsa followed by prayer. Mrs. J. J. Thompson read the Scripture lesson and Mrs. Boyd the devotional leaflet "Among th^e Multitudes." Mrs. W. J. Scott gave a resume of chapter 3 of Living Issues in China," the subject being "Tampering with the Social Roots." Mrs. Scott then took the chair and the minutes of last meeting were read and signed. Mrs. W. Moore was the only Herald who responded. Mrs. John Heard responded for the temperance cause. The President called an ex- ecutive meeting for Monday. Mrs. J. Wright, supply secretary, read the re- quirements for the bale and Mrs. Wright and Mrs. W. Inkster were ap- pointed to purchase materials. Mrs. Jos. Blakeley's group will take the March meeting. Seventeen members answered the roll call and five paid fees. A hymn and benediction closed the meeting. Road Committe Meets Minister Of Highways V t CAN VOTE IF TAXES ARE NOT PAID Maxwell, February 14, 1934 The Advance: Dear Sir,- Please publish the fol- lowing letter, which is a reply to a letter on request to the Minister of Education from a ratepayer at S.

Some days here are cool until about ten o'clock, then quite warmâ€" to-day 72 in the shade but generally warm. I do not think this city is growing as, it should, although there are two hundred tourists here from the north- ern parts. Panama City, only seven miles from here, is growing rapidly into a flourishing city and seems to be doing a real good business. Every time we go in I wonder where all the automobiles come from, as it is almost impossible to get parked in a good place. Yesterday we went golfing pronounced illegal. â€"RATEPAYER. Toi-onto, Feb. 5th, 1934. Dear Sir.- I am directed by the Minister of Education to acknowledge your letter of recent date, aiid in reply to state, that in the case oi: a rate- payer in a Rural Public School Sec- tion, whose taxes for school purposes are not paid, there is no clause in the Public Schools Act which would debar him from voting at the annual meet- ing of the school electors. Further, his eligibility to attach his signature to a notice of the ratepayers is not affected by the Act, nor is there a with the mayor of the city, Mrs. Clipp- ,.,„„,„ ,_ .v^ a .f „u- v, • t erton, Mrs. McAleer and myself.

On Tuesday of this week the Grey County Road.s Commisaion had an ap- pointment to meet the Minister of Highways at the Parliament build- ings in regard to the projected ex- penditures this summer on the King's l| Highways in Grey County. The County has been forced in the past to issue debentures to pay for con- struction with which they were not acquainted with early enough and it is to remedy this policy that the in- terview has been desired. In the past the County Council has requested that highway work be discontinued in the County and the Department went ahead with work they had con- templated within the County. T'le Roads Commission was then forced to pay their share of the expenditures without having made previous financ- ial arrangements for the money and they desire to have all proposed ex- penditures at hand to p-.c '. e for the 1934 construction program in the spring and to present it at the June meeting of the County Council. Reeve H. A. McCauley is a member of the Commission and left on Monday for Toronto, where he will also attend the convention of the Ontario Good Roads Association which convenes Wednes day a-^.d to last three days.

As in beef or pork, the demands of the market call for young meat and comparative- ly light weights in carcass. The premium paid for baby beef and ba<;on hogs applies with even greater force to sheep. Thick, fleshy, but rather light joints are what the cook calls for whether for the home table or the restaurant. The tastes of the con- sumer have been cultivated to dis- criminate in favor ctf the tasty, tend- er lamb until we find that from 70 to 80 i>er cent, of the sheep that reach the market are less than one year old. The age of heavy mutton is past â€" a condifion nio.st favorable to the sheep raiser, who is thus en- abled to reap quick returns from his flock. The increasing demand Sor lamb mutton this season augurs well for the future of the industry, pro- vided care is taken to keep up and im- prove the grade of the product. Planting Early Cabboge While hogs have been climbing to the best price reached since 1931. Clark Young of Milliken, Ontario has been busy establishing a world's rec- ord for cheap production. He re- ports a hundred pounds of gain foi every 281 pounds of feed used, which is eight pounds better than the recoro of the Indian State College previous holder of the record. .Authorities at the Ontario Agricultural College con- sider one poud of pork gain for every four and one ha'!"" pounds of feed de- cidedly above the average. Mr. Young gives his total cost per hundred pound of pork for the entire six months feeding period as $4.78 which repre- sents more than $13.00 net profit per 200 pound hog at present prices. Not only have Mr. Young's hogs been fed cheaply and quickly (they were mark- eted at six months) but the quality according to the grading at Toronto and the bacon reports from Great Britain, where the pork was marketed, has been the best. Mr. Young fig- ures his costs from weaning to six months as follows: 2,050 pounds of mixed home grain, 400 pounds of shorts, 1,650 pounds of special con- centrated feed, total cost $69.57 for one lot of eight hogs.
