THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 1934 Grey Presbytery Mel Grey Prasbytery of the United church of Canada met in Annesley church, Markdale, on 'I^lesday, when there were three sessions lasting un- til 11.00 p.m. The chairmam, R«v. Sidney Martin, M.A., oi I»ieaiord, pre- sided, and there was a large repres- entation of members present from all the Pastoral Charges. 'ijne feature of the morning ses- sion was the devotional address by Rev. W. H. Smith, B.A., of Durham, on the subject, "Listen to Your Own Sermon." It was a heart-searching deliverance to ministers, Sunday school teachers, and others e.-igaged in religious work, that they take to themselves, and apply to their private lives, all that they recommend or preach to others. The silence which prevailed at the close of the address was the most eloquent testimony to its worth. Applications for superannuation were presented by Rev. A. McNeill, of Maxwell, and Rev. J. R. Wilkinson of Temple Hill, the former on ac- count of ill health, the latter because of years of service rendered. Rev. Thomas Snowden spoke kindly words to these brethren who have so loyally sei-ved the church, and wished them well during their future lives. The Non-Ministerial Representa tives of the Charges organized them- selves as an association affiliated with the Conf-rence organization, and elected as tl'.3ir first officers, Mr. J. McQuaker, of Owen Sound, as Chair- man, Mr. William Martin of Syden- ham as Vice-President, and Mr. T. W. Findlay of Meaf ord, as Secretary. The afternoon session opened with an address by Mrs. E. C. Murray, of Flesherton, who delivered a gracious and tactful message in regard to the work of the Woman's Missionary Soc- iety, of which organization she has the honorable position of President of the Grey Presbyterial. Rev. Sidney Martin, M.A., of Mea- ford, and Mr. John McQuaker, of [Chren Sound, received the nominar tions as Commissioners to the Gen- eral Council of the Church, which is to meet in Kingston in September; Rev. T. F. Heeney, B.A., and Mr. M. E. Peacock, of Meaford, were nomin- ated as alternates. Rev. E. W. Jewitt, B.A., of Owen Sound, and Mr. John McQuaker were nominated as members of the Settlement Com- mittee of the Toronto Conference for the coming Conference Year. It was decided that the allocations to the charges for Presbytery and Conference Fund be at the rate of 12 cents per resident Member for the coming year, and that the mileage allowan;e be at the rate of 5 cents per mile one way. The necessary arrangements for the election of Non- Ministerial Representatives to Con- ference, and the placing of ministers and laymen on the committees of Con- ference were made, and all these rep- resentatives are to receive notice of their appointments when arrange- ments are completed. It was a matter of great satisfac- tion to the Presbyery to have tht pleasure of recommending Mr. W. M. B. Metcalfe, B.A., B.D., to the Con- ference for ordination as a minister of the United Church. Mr. Metcalfe who is the son of Mr. James Metcalfe of Hanover, who is himself a mem- ber of the Presbytery, has just com- pleted his college work with great credit to himself, and was present to give a short account of his religious experience and call to the ministry. Rev. A. L. Atton, B.A., of Owen Sound made several very interesting refer- ences to the grandparents of the can- didate for ordination, the grandfather Big Trout Caught In Eugenia Hydro Pond Flesherton fishermen took the premier honors in the fishing com- petitioin held by Frank Slater of Owen Sound the first two days of the speckled trout season. J. 0. Dar- gavel took first prize and a fine split bamboo fly rod. Harold Best and Bob Dargavel were tied for fourth place and received brake linings a.s a prize and Miss Velma Fisher was the only entry in the ladies' section and received a prize of $5 in coppers. Other winnei's were R. E. Stout of Owen Sound second place, Geo. Me- Ateer of Clarksburg third, R. B. Sudden of Chatsworth fifth and the winner of second place was also a double winner taking sixth place Vernon Lamson of Owen Sound won the special prize for boys. Both tht i'irst and second place fish were larger than last year's winner. , Master Evison Wilson, 9 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Wilson ot town, so far has taken premier honors with a 3 lb. 6 oz. trout caught on Thursday evening last at the 8th Line bridge, but too late for the Slater competition This beauty put up quite a battle and Evison, who was standing on the cement abutment .ind leaning against the iron railing was very nearly pulled in. Mr. I. Smith, who was beside him, landed the big fellow over the side of e bridge as it cleared the railing the Ift-ail fish line broke. This one measured 18 inches long and was 13% inches in girth. The tackle used in landing this prize was only a bamboo "pole" with an ordinary cotton line. Evison has turned out to be quite a fisherman. Mrs. O. W. Phillips of town was another who landed a large one Fri- day evening that weighed 2 pounds, 6 ounces and measured 16 inches. A gentleman from Orangevillc also caught one about the same size, while Ross Smith of town secured a nice one measuring 14 inches. Fishermen have lined the bridge on the 8th Line the past few nights, but only two or three fish have been taken, which left quite a number of disappointed nimrods who hope for better luck next time. Ernest Davidson has caught the largest trout yet, word reaching this office since the above was written. It measured 20 inches in length and weihged 3% pounds. It was caught on the south branch of the Beaver River on his own farm. MAILING LIST CORRECTED The Advance mailing list has been corrected and all payments made up to Saturday last are included in the changes made. Look at your label now and see if it i-eads correctly. If it shows that you are in arrears we would be pleased to receive your re- newal. K you can't pay all of the arrears, give us part as it all helps to keep the paper circulating. Work On Highways May Cost Half Million While n^ oiTicial figures are avail- able as to the probable cost of tht new pavements it is proposed to con- struct in Grey County this year by the Provincial Highways Department it has been estimated that the total amount to be spent in the county will be very close to $600,000. This in- cludes the pavement between Thorn- bury and Collingwood on No. 26 high- way, the strip between Chatsworth and Dornoch on No. 6 highway, and the work on No. 10 highway south of Markdale to Dundalk. If all of this work is undertaken it will mean that the county's share ct the work will run very close to $120,- 000, although these figures ai-e only an estimate. Up to "^'e present time the county council has not been ap- proached by the Department of High- ways regarding the matter, but it ha» been taken for granted that when the Department called for tenders for the work it was the intention to go ahead with the work, and no objection ha? been taken. When the county council convenes for the June session the question ol paying for these roads will come up and it is probable that payment will be spread over a period of years without interest, thus making it un- necessary to increase the tax rate which would have to be done if pay- ment had to be made all in one year. There is considerable criticism re- garding the construction of the ten- foot concrete strips on some of these roads, the feeling being that the wider road is safer, especially where the traffic is always heavy. No official action, however, has been takjn with regard to this matter.

Stauffer, Prop. had been a very acceptable local preacher in the days lang syne. A good deal of time was spent in the consideration of the Report of the Committee on Evangelism and Social Service. As finally adopted the Report reads as follows, 1. That the Presbytery urges upon the people within the care of our Church the Christian duty of supporting those candidates most likely to oppose the proclamation of the present Beer and Wine legislation, and to oppose any other tendency to widen the facilities for beverage liquors. 2. That Presbytery deplores the action of the Senate in the advocacy of sweepstakes. We urge upon the members of the House of Commons to refuse to endorse this measure believing that it would result in great moral degredation of our i>:ople. 3. iWe commend the courage of Hon. H. H. Stevens, Minister of Trade and Commerce, and his direction of the investigation into industrial con- ditions in Canada. We hope that this will be fruitful of necessary re- forms in the economic life of oui country. Rev. A. M. Pope, B.A.. B.D., pre- sented a very interesting verbal re- port on the life and work of the Church, and displayed a very sug- gestive set of posters which had been prepared by himself, and by some ol the scholars in the public schools on his charge. Rev. W. J. Scott, M..\.; B.C., S.T.M., of Flesherton, Chairman of the Summer School, in a short re- port, urged that one student from each charge, at least, would be sent to the Summer School this year. The date for the meeting of Pres- bytery in September was changed from the third to the fourth Tues- day of the month, and on that date the meeting will be held in First United Church, Owen Sound. Presbytery adjourned to meet in Westminster-Central Church, TVron- to, on Friday, June 8th, at 2 p.m. Lady Fell From Train Mrs. Alex. McDonald, a resident of the South Line, Artemesia, is in the hospital at Markdale suffering from a broken and dislocated wrist and severe body bruises when she fell from the night C.P.R. passenger train while it was travelling between Sau- geen Junction and Flesherton on Sat- urday evening. Mrs. McDonald was on her way up from Toronto to visit friends and relatives and it is believed that she became nervous when in- formed after the train left Saugeen that Flesherton was the next stop and wandered out to the coach platform. Conductor Frank Ryan of Ttorontt missed her when he went to assist her off the train shortly before it came to Flesherton Station. The train was backed down the line with the train crew watching the right- of-way for any sign of the missing woman. She was found half a mile north of the Saugeen Jet. Station, conscious, but suffering considerable pain from her injuries. She was immediately taken to the Markdalt hospital without stopping at Flesh- erton, later backing up to discharge passengers, mail and express. Tihe train arrived in Owen Sound over an hour and a half late. After an examination it was found that one of her wrists had been brok- en as well as dislocated, and also suffered a number of cuts and bruis- es. It is expected that she will be able to leave the hospital in a few days and that she will have a com- plete recovery. E. N. Cooper Candidate i Mayor E. Newton Cooper of Mea- ford is the Conservative candidate in North Grey for the coming Ontario general elections. He was chosen at a Conservative convention at Owen Sound on Saturday. Mayor Cooper was chosen on the first ballot. Four names were sub- mitted. They were Miss Alma Thompson of Derby and former Mayors T. W. Thomson and D. A Christie of Owen Sound and Mr Cooper. Emerson Brown of Clarks- burg and Thomas H. Randle of Mea- ford withdrew their names before the ballot was taken. Mr. Cooper has been Mayor of Mea- ford four times. He made it clear in his acceptance address that ht would not be found to support any or all legislation brought in by the Government, and he made no an- nouncement with regard to his stand on the beer and wine policy of the Government. He felt that the man chosen should be big enough to repre- sent all the people of North Grey. He attacked the record < .' "". J. Taylor, Liberal member for North Grey in the Ontario Legislature since I'JIU. The candidate accused Mr. ijaylor of "double-crossing" the elec- tors on the temperance issue. Mr. Taylor, he said, was aware he had retained his seat in the Legislature through the support of the temper- ance people, and had at the same time voted for the wine and beer bill. W. Earl Rowe, member in the Houst of Commons for Simcoe-Dufferin, de fended the Government of Pi-imt .Minister R. B. Bennett, and dealt with tariff measures. He declared the trade agreements entered into at the Economic Conference had been of im- mense benefit to the country. Mr. Rowe said Mitchell F. Hep- bum, Ontario Liberal Leader, was not sincere in speeches he had made. The Liberal Party, he added, was "hope- lessly divided." HIS BOTH BIRTHDAY Congratulations are extended to Mrs. Patrick McKee of Nottawa who passed her eightieth birthday on Sun- day, IMay 6th; Mrs. McKee, who was Matilda McComb, is a native of this locality and is enjoying fairly good health. Mr. McKee who is the eld- est son of the late John McKee, has passed tiis ninetieth year. May the evening of life be a very happy one| to this estimable couple. Saint Making .A clergyman came at a newspapei man this way: "You editors do not tell the truth. If you did you could not live; your newspaper would be a fail- ure." The editor replied: "You an right and the minister who will at all times and under all circumstances tel the truth about his members, dead oi alive, will not occupy the pulpit mort than one Sunday, and then he finds it necessary to leave town in a hurry The press and the pulpit go hand in hand with white-wash brushes and pleasant words, magnifying little vir- tues into big ones. Tthe pulpit, the pen, and the grave stone are the great saint-making triumvirate." .And the editor turned to his work and told of the unsurpassing beauty of the bride while in fact she was as homely as a mud fence.

H. Perigoe & Co. 506 National Bldg., TORONTO I am associated with Mr. I. H. Perigoe: in tlie placing of a limited number of shares in the Phoenix Molybdenite Corp. among people in whom we are personally interested. 'N«ver in our experience have we seen a speculation offering the possibility for greater dividends or more appreciation in capital. The Company will come into production about the first of June 1934, with no debts and ample capital to facilitate production. I would be pleased to give my friends in and around Flesh- erton more complete details concerning this proposition which believe offers such great possibilities. Although having been associated with several different Brok- erage Houses in Toronto during the past seven years I have never until now discovered a speculation or investment which I could with implicit confidence recommend to the people at home During the last few months due to my association with I. H. Perigoe I have had an unusual opportunity to study the manag«ment and poesible earning capacity of the Phoenix Molybdenite Corp. which presens the greatest opportunity I have seen in all my experience in the investment business. I would be very pleasd to pass along this information to any of my friends in and around Flesherton. G. C. MITCHELL CO. I. H.
