Editoi EDITORIAL NOTES Since curling has become so popular in F'lesherton efforts are now being made to secure a bowling green, through the government relief pro- GTiVin by building it on the level area of the park on Sydenham street Some opposition is being encount- ered by the promoters, the objection being that it si^ould be left as dt is for the enjoyment of the children, which will cn:ible them to be kept off the streets and out of danger from the cars. It would be splendid to have a bowling green in the village Bs at this game the ladies can take their place and enjoy themselves. ,Wc hope that the project can be put a- cross. * • • Recently an advertising agency re- quested information from the weekly newspapers as to whether or not they would accept liquor and beer adver- tising if the law were changed in this regard. During the past two or three years the volue of local ad- vertising in these newspapers has reached a very low level and it would Hot surprise us if many editors jgrasped at this opportunity to help their newspaper pay its way. It has been demonstrated time and again that newspap>er advertising is the best medium by which to lay the store's goods before the people, but many inerchant.s rely on the advertising of Other stores to bring buyers to town. if this policy is continued many newspapers will have no alternative jthan to accept liquor and beer adver- tLsing to keep their plants operating. nient. The cost of government has grown at an alarming pace and is tuki.ng so great a percentage of the t'arnings of the people that it has be- come burdensome. Figures compiled li;,' the Citizens Kesearch Bureau for lii32 show thai the cost of govern- ment in this country for that year was thirty-five i>cr cent of our nation- al income. Between l'J28 and 1932 the expenditures of the Dominion, Provincial and Municipal Govern- ments increased by twenty-three per cent. This is an alarming increase, even if times had been normal and revenues showing something like a proportionate increase. But the Cit- izens' Uesearch Bureau finds that in the same period the national income decreased by fifty per cent. One would think that the sane and reason- able thing to do in a period of national depression would be to endeavor to cut down the cost of government and ease the burden of taxation. This is something that our governments have failed to do. They have gone on bor- rowing and increasing the load on the shoulders of the taxpayers. There must be a stop to this steady increase in the burden of expenditure and debt. If there is not, there can only be one end, and that is national bankruptcy. i Letters to The Editor THE NORTH CKEY SITUATION Anxions For Baseball The boys are commencing to talk baseball now that the snow has dis- appeared and warmer weather ar- rived. In fact some already have had a short workout with the ball, limbering up stiffened muscles. All of last year's team, with one excep- tion, will be on hand for the cam- paign when it opens. If the Centre Grey team operates this year the schedule should commence earlier in order to prevent the fiasco that feat- ured last fear's playoffs. There should be a pre-season series between Dundalk and Kiniberley to decide the winner of the 1933 campaign. Wo should have a local team organization meeting soon to get the season under way. HIGH COST OF GOVERNMENT (Orangeville Banner) We are quite in accord with the Hanover Post when it argues that citizens of Canada need to be awaken- ed to the tremendous cost of govern- Chevrolet Car Displayed The Chevrolet Six for 1934, perhaps the most extensively improved annual model since this car was stepped up to six cylinders, is being announced local ly today. The new Chevrolet has an 80 h.p. engine which, according tc General Motors of Canada Limited, it the most powerful and eflficient ever to be placed in a Chevrolet. The power plant, incidentally, is of a most interesting type and is the outcome of three solid years of research and test- ing. The purpose of all this was to provide smoothness and quietness, and the results seem to be remarkaible. Besides flashing performance from the new engine, the Chevrolet pre- sents a number of distinct chassis im- provements, most interesting of which is the new knee-action front wheel suspension of a type which contnibutes to a comfort in riding never before thought possible in a motor car. This independent front wheel springing gives, not only improved riding, but a host of other advantages. Steering stability is greatly improved and wheel fight completely eliminated. In api)earanco, the sleekness which has been a feature of recent Chevrolets is further accentuated by an increase to 112 inch wheelbase and in the treatment of the car design itself. The 1934 line of passenger cars again features Fisher no-draft ventil- ation in all closed body types. All bodies are approximately 3% inches longer, with the cowl lengthened 1% indies and 2 inches added to the closed body front doors. On the interior of the closed bodies, the increased over- all length is divided to provide more leg room in the front and 2% inches more in the rear seat. Chevrolet, along with many othei improvements, also offers the starter- ator in the 1934 models, a device which eliminates the starting ibutton the latter being coincidental with the foot accelerator. There is the usual range of body models.

Dear Editor:- A great deal has been written especially in your con- temporary, the Owen Sound "Sun- Times" touching the rather singula) action of D. J. Taylor, the local mem- ber, on the vote for "free beer.'' Personally I cannot see wherein the paper has any real ground for com- idaint when we know that they have always opposed very violently the men who ran against Mr. Taylor, two, at least were outstanding tem- perance advocates m season and out of season. I refer to Messrs. Don- ald and Breese, now they get their reward for double dealing and they apparently don't like to take it. How- ever I miss my guess if our good friends in Owen Sound don't again do the face about and support Taylor, beer and alll. The general outlook Ls very inter- esting to me, with the oppo.sition divided, the blame for which can be laid solely at the door of the leader, Mr. Hepburn. We all know that the reason Mr. Sinclair was replaced in the first place was that he could not be bulldozed on the temperance ques- tion. Hepburn and Co. were good and wet and no mistake. So Sin- clair had to go, the more so that he advised against the muck raking cam- paign that certainly has not cast any credit on the once powerful Liberal party. Truly it has been said that Mitchell Hepburn is digging his polit- ical grave with hiis jaw and we be- lieve our friend Taylor is finshed il the temperance people will nominate a good man and we desire to nomin- ate Mr. Quaker, of course John is an Al grit and ran before, but I believe he can break up the gang of double dealers, who have got us dn the mess we are in. Let the Tories back Tay- lor if they care to, but the era oi double dealing should be ended by our friends in Owen Sound now, will the "Sun-Times" accept the challenge. I have my doubts. The North Grey Tories have a lot of weak sisters in the ranks of their would-be candidates, but we are told that in the re-organized cabinet the names of Miiddlebro' or Cooper might be found, in which case ani interesting fight would be on. Our bet how- ever is that the Tories will name Col. McLaucnlan, and George nas a host of friends, being a native son of out northern city. Handle, Christie, etc., all will be scrapped or should be. - Another interesting siidelight to the campaign is the much heralded threat to fire the Tory office holders right and left â€" more power to him, but don't you think this sort of talk is idle to say the least, for I can now sec very well that two can play at that game and the Tories would be very foolish should they not retaliate with interest. In conclusion allow me to mention that our friend Taylor has never run twice on the same platform. He has wandered all the way from U.F.O. Farmer, Soldier Labor, Pro- gressive and no doubt now he has adopted the Government Beer policy. He can go the whole hog â€" we shall see if he is versatile enoogh to get away with his latest "boner" even though he has been able to keep his riding boundaries which arc very much in his favor, of cour.^e D. ,1. was a member of the Redistribution committee and it would never do to jeopardize his chances of reelection on this score. â€"AN ADVANCE READER I RED ROSE I TEA k AT THl", OIJ) PRICE I SOc LB.

Dog Recovers Recently a valuable coach dog own- ed by iMr. John Nuhn became depress- ed, refused to eat very much and appeared quite ill. Medicines ana other treatment was given but there was no change in his condition. After all means of treatment were erhaust- ed it was decided that a decayed tooth was the cause of his illness. Chloro- form was administered, the tooth ex- tracted, all of doggies troubles came to an end and he apparently feels better than he ever did. So human beings are not the only ones to suffer ill health from diseased teeth. Mission Band Meeting The Thankoffering meeting of the Flesherton Mission Band was held in the basement of St. John's United church on Thursday of last week. The visitors were made welcome by the president, IMarion Miller. The Mission |Baaui hymn, ,"I would be true," was sung and the minutes ot the previous meeting read and adopt- ed. The roll call was called and fees were received. The treasurer's re- port for the last quarter was given by Don Scott. Mrs. Murray gavt the preparation for the worship per- iod, which opened with quiet music. The call to worship was replied to by "Praise Him, Praise Hirni." Th< Easter hymin, "Christ the Lord is risen today," was sung, after which Evelyn Leavell led in prayer, followed by the scripture which was read by Ben Leavell. The memory verse w^as repeated and the collection a- mounted to $13.74. The Friendship Prayer was repeated and five girls sang "Lilies of the Valley." Eight children, gave a recitation, one gdving a recitation called, "Easter Resolu- tions." Georgina MacDonald and Marion Miller sang a duet called "Easter Lilies." Mrs. Scott told two very interesting stories. Six cMld- ren sang a song, "Easter Lessons." ''I am so glad" was sung and Mr. Scott closed the meeting with prayer. ± ONTARIO LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA WARNING TO TRUCK OWNERS HALF-LOAD REGULATIONS NOW IN EFFECT Permit card must be carried in vehicle or by operator at all times THE HIGHWAY TRAFFIC ACT PROVIDES that the loads wjiich may be carried by various types of vehicles during the months of March and April shall be limited as follows : SOLID TIRED Solid tired trucks and trailers shall not carry a load of more than half their registered carrying capacities.

PNEUMATIC TIRED VEHICLES HORSE DRAWN VEHICLES In renewing his subscription to The Advance Mr. W. Dinwoodic of Willits, Calif., remarks: We have had a very mild winter here tliis year. I have not seen a flnl-.e of snow and very little frost, bill 25 inches of rain foil. So there is, and has been, abundance of feed everywhere. I have mowed some of the grass on my lota already and measured some of the longest stocks, which were over two feet in length. For the last three weeks the orchards have been white with iblossoms. I had ripe strawlierries for supper and have been eating new potatoes for the last three weeks, but they were shipped in. I sure have sympathiied with many parts of the East this winter. I see by The Advance that it was 42 below â- ero, but the ooldest I ever remember it btasig there was 80 below. During the war I preached at North Bay and one day it registered 41 below. A neighbor here was through Saskatch- ewan last harvest thne and he en- dorsed Ed. Legard's letter you print ed on "The Tragedy of the West. He stated that he stood and looked in every direction, as far as he could see, and there was no feed. I cut the item from your paper and for wnrdc l it to my brother, Joe, as he has 160 acres in Saskatchewan. 1 THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY ONLY ON THE FOLLOWING ROADS, whether paved or unpaved, outside the limits of cities, towns or villages: ALL COUNTY ROADS ALL TOWNSHIP ROADS THE FOLLOWING KING'S HIGHWAYS: No. 2 4^ 6 7 7 9 9 10 12 12 14 15 Belle River to Tccnmseh Clinton to Durham Williamsford to Chatsworth Lucan to Arkona Perth to Peter boro Cookstown to Primrose Orangeville to Grand Valley Dundalk to Chatsworth Beaverton to Atherley Orillia to Midland No. 17 18 19 21 21 24 20 30 33 34 37 Arnprior to Pembroke Amherstburg to Kingsville Tillsonburg to Pt.
