; / THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE IWEDKESDAY. MABCH 21. 1934 J I «* W. N. Hemphill New Head of Association To Hold Picnic In Old Home Town In Sumnivr â€" New Ocicers Elected The annual meeting of Fl«sherton Old Boys & Girls Association was held at the office of Burton E. Field & Co., 53 Yonge St., on Friday evening, March 16th, President C. E. McTavisb occupying the chair. Mr. McTavish retired from th« Presidency of the Association in favor of Mr. W. N. Hemphill, who was un- anlmoosly elected to succeed him in the above capacity. Messrs. A. M. Gibson, W. B. Fetch and R. Maddocks were elected First, Second and Third Vice-Presidents respectively, and Messrs. F. W. Murray and Burton E. Field were again elected Treasurei and Secretary respectively, and Miss Jean Hemphill as Assistant Secret- ary. On motion of Burton E. Field, it was unanimously decided to present Mr. W. H. Fenwick with a Life Mem- bership in the Association. Unfor- tunately, Mr. Fenwick has not been enjoyinsr good health for some time and has not been able to take an ac- tive part in the affairs of the Assoc- iation as his enthusiasm for the work Impels him to do, btrt he has always been a tower of strength to the As- eociation and it was deemed fitting that some mark of our esteem be shown by the members for his able assistance in the past, and it is the sincere wish of the members of the Association that he may recover his health promptly and again take his place side by side with those who are endeavoring to foster good fellowship amongst their old friends of Flesher- ton. Dr. F. W. Murray presented a very concise report of the financial affaii of the Association, and was duly con- gratulated thereon and a vote ol thanks extended for his able services during the past year. Mr. C. E. Mc- Tavish was also extended a vote of thanks in appreciation of his untiring services on behalf of the Association since its formation in the year 1929 and replied fittingly. It is good to know that while Charlie is retiring from the Presidency, he has no in- tention of severing his ouiinection â- with the Association, and can be de- pended upon to be with us on every possible occasion and continue his as- sistance and advice which has been 60 helpful in the past. i"We were pleased to welcome Ex- Alderman, W. J. Wadsworth, who at- tended the meeting and (became a member of the Association at the same time, and was also elected to membership on the Executive Com- mittee, which committee was reelect- ed to serve for another year with some additions. The motion adopted at oiy meeting of a year ago with regard to the holding of the Annual Picnic in Flesherton on Civio Holiday August 6th., 1934, was reaffirmed and we are looking forward with much pleasure to another joyful re- union with our old friends and neigh- bors in the good old home town we just can^t forget. No doubt in the near future a committee will be ap- pointed to arrange a meeting with the Flesherton committee with a view to making the necesasry arrange- ments for the staging of the Picnic, in order that everything may be car- ried out smoothly as in the past, and it is hoped that the attendance this year will exceed that of the two previous picnics, and with some hard work on the part of the members to this end this can be easily accom- plishedâ€"Burton E. Field, Sec. CoBDty Road Foremen G. E. Henn- and W. Gordon Look After Valley and Singhampton Roads Appointments of road foremen for the south-east comer of the Gre> County Road system have been made. Mr. G. E. Henry of Flesherton has charge <rf the road east from Flesh- erton to Singhampton, south to Maple Valley and west through Badjeros to the Dufferin-Grey County line. Mr W. A. Gordon of Eugenia has charge of the road from the Betts' comer, east of Flesherton, to Clarksburg, known as the Valley Road. Both these men were foremen last year, but their territory is now extended, eon- formring to the recent retrenchment policy of the road committee in cutt- ing to seven men the number of road formen in Grey. Their duties will comprise almost entirely work on then: respective beats and not road dragging, as this will now be done by the heavy road maintainers pur- L-hased last year. The Durham-Flesh- erton highway has been taken from the county system and will be kept in shape by the province as part ot the provincial system. Lawson Wtiitihearf Sr. Died at Toronto Home F. W.

Clark of Flesherton â€" 111 For Long Period Following a long illness, Lawson Whitehead, a former lacrosse star and hockey referee, died yesterday at his home, 16 Pryor Avenue, in his fifty- eighth year. Mr. Whitehead started paying- lacrosse at the age of fifteen and continued playing until he was over thirty. In 1906 he was a mem- ber of the Tecumseh city champion- ship team. For many seasons he played on the home division of the Indians with such well-knowji stars as "Dolly" Durkin, Charlie Querrie, Archie Adamson, and Harry Murton for his partners. The record of his starry attacking division stands out in lacrosse history. In his later years with the "Tecs." he was shifted back to the defence. He retired from lacrosse shortly aiter this, but con- tinued to help along the younger fellows, and in this connection coach- ed many teams. He was appointed to the O.H.A.'s staff of referees and when Teddy Oke organized his Mil- lionaires Mr. Whitehead was given the coaching assignment. He was a tailor by trade, and a member of Victoria Presbyterian church. Sur- viving are his widow, Catherine â- ^Tiitehead; one son. Grant: three sisters, Mrs. Geo. Clarke of Flesher- ton, Mrs. Edith Schweitart of Detroit. Mrs. Stanley Hoskett of Brampton, and two brothers, Thomas and Wil- fred, living at Lanibton and Chicago respectively.

Johnston, who is a powerful and forceful speaker, will have a special message for the oc- casion. A STRANGERS OBSERVATION A visitor to Flesherton noticed that one of the inhabitants of this place was treated with deep respect by the others. "I observe," said the visitor to an aged inhabitant, "That you all treat this man with marked defer- ence: "Yes, he's one of our early set- tlers." "Early settlers," asked the other "Why he can't be much above thirty?" "That may be," replied the ola man. "But he pays all his bills promptly on the first of ever> month."

Armstrong, formerly of Flesherton, passed away m Well- esley Hospital, Toronto, on Saturday March 17th, after a short illneas caused by an attack of appendicitis which later developed into periton itis. A funeral service was held in Sherboume St. United Church, Toron to, Sunday evening', and the remains were conveyed on Monday to the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. W. Hickling, Flesherton, and on Monday afternoon placed in the chapel to await burial in the family plot in Flesherton cem- etery in the spring. When quite a young man the late Mr. Armstrong was in the employ of the late M. K. Richardson, going to Toronto forty-one yars ago, where he secured a situation in the hardware store of Mr. Thos. Aikenhead, later becoming manager. Mr. Armstrong developed a fine Christian character, in his early youth kind, generous in a large degree to those who needed his help, a man who gave largely, through his church, of both money and time. .A.t the time of his passing he was an elder in Sherboume United Church, also an usher, and was secretary- treasurer of Sackville Mission Sab- bath School, where he was always in his place. In quiet unobstrusive ways he served his church and his Saviour. He is survived by two brothers, Joseph H., in Toronto, and George in the West, and four sister.;, Misses Elizabeth and Charlotte and Mrs. Sarah McTavish in Toronto and Mrs. W. C. Strain (Clemina) in Nemis- kam, Alta.; one sister, Emma, died about a year ago. Those who attended the funeral were his brother and three sisters from Toronto, Mrs. Joseph Armstrong, Miss Ruth and Kenneth and Mr. J. Wesley Armstrong, Mrs. Alan Keith, Miss Ruby and Mr. Wilfred Aiken- head of Toronto, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Armstrong, Miss Nellie Armstrong and Mrs. Jos. Armstrong of Markdale. The profusion of beautiful flowers bore silent testimony of the love of a host of friends and expressed sym- pathy to the loved ones who are bereaved. The pallbearers were Messrs. Thos. Clayton. F. H. W. Hickling, George .\rmstrong, W. J. W. Armstrong. Wilfred Aikenhead and Chas. Arm- strong. The service was conducted by his cousin. Rev. Bert Armstrong of Meaford, assisted by Rev. W. J. Scott, pastor of St. John's United Church, Fesherton. War on Warble Fly The meeting called in the town hall for Friday afternoon last by the county Department of Agriculture to discuss the warble fly, was well at- tended by a representative gathering of farmers from all sections of Arte- mesia township. Two representative; of each school section were appointed to place the matter before their rate- payers with a view to securing uni- versal action throughout the country The warble fly does immense dam- age to herds, but it is claimed that it can be controlled and even eradicated if an united front is made to fight it. Senator Lynch-Staunton of Hamil- ton said he favored the addition of a deparment where character should be taught. He was. by the way giving an address to a number of lawyers. Too many persons learn from hind- sight that they should have reasoned from foresight. Two dogs were shot by farmers near Guelph when the animals were in the act of chasing sheep. It can only be hoped that a farmer with a gun and a good aim might be present ,>n other such occasions. DIED SCOTT â€" On Thursday. March 1-5 UKU. at his late residence.

With so many smokes on his person he would look all puffed up. How often has it been said that an ounce of prevention is worth a pocmd of cure. How often have we pointed out to parents the importance of pro- per care for their child, in order to prevent disease and to sectire for him robust health! Undoubtedly, prevention is bettet than cure and, too, care is required bu* like all good things when carried to an extreme, they defeat their owt porpoee, and may cause actual harm In this connection, we think of tht parents who display such undue con- cern over their children as not to al- low them to play with other children for fear that they might contract some disease from their playmtaes. This type of parent 'â-  -s hei young daughter in, and in the presence of the child, tells how she has been delicate from birth, remarks that the little girl is nervous like herself, and that she has to stay home from school frequently because of pains in her head and side. Upon questioning the parent, tht doctor finds that the child does not play with other children. She tires easily. She has no interest in school and i* allowed to stay home when she compains of a pain. That the mother is worried is evident to the doctor and also to the child. .A. thorough examination of the child fails to reveal any abnormal physical condition which would account for her pains and other complaints. The physician clearly sees that the child has drifted into this condition because of the over-protective attitude of the parent. We all like to hold the limelight, and this child has been able to do so simply by appearing unwell or tired, or by complaining of pain. We all like to have our own way and to get out of doing unpleasant things or meeting difficult situations. This child has found an easy way; through her supposed ill-health, she has been able to stay away from school when she wished to do so, anl to escape any undesired work. â-  The situation is explained to the mother. She is encouraged to treat her daughter as a normal child, and when the little girl complains of not feeing well, to ignore it and not to display any worry or concern about her. The child' is to be encourged to play with other children and helped to find an interest in life outside herself. Quite simple when it is pointed out but many children, particularly one who is an only child, pass into adult life unable to meet the problems of the world in which they must live. because over-protective parents, doing what they thought was best, have done what was fundamentally wrong for the children. The child has a right to propel care. He has a right to protection from disease and to a fair chance tc grow into a healthy adult. Thes* rights are not secured from a parent who goes to the extreme ov over- protection.
