Editoi EDITORIAL NOTES The- Advance tender.s it.s .sympathy to the family of S. Roy Wesley, editor of the Port El^in Times, who passed away last week in his 40th year. « * • A uniform half holiday is needed in Ontario, is the claim made l)y com- mercial travellers. Difficulty is ex- perienced in making their calls with the Wednesday and Thursday half day vacations. But the fact remains that the towns havinjf Wednesday as the half holiday do not wish to change and the Thursday crowd see no use in changing either. So what is go- ing to be done about it? • • • The plight of the tobacco growers in Ontario is being aired at Ottawa with the special Parliamentary com- mittee investigation now proceeding and shows an appalling condition of affairs. It appears as though the manufacturer is grinding the littlt fellow under his heel with low prices, considerably lower than the market called for. If the investigation re- sults in raising of prices to the grow- er it will have served a useful pur- pose, if not it is so much time and expense wasted for nothing. V • • A contemporary wishes to know why do people always wish to move in the spring or on May 1st and why do so many lea.ses expire at that time. Man is a funny animal. .-Vftor hciiig cooped up all ^vinter, practically hib- ernating, the warm spring days send the bloo<l flowing more swiftly through the vt-ins and a restless de- sire to travel and leave the presemt surroundings is infused in the mind. The wish to move is a natural re- .â- ;ult of the restlessness which spi-ins weather causes in a human being and no doubt the landlords have realized that condition, too, with the result that leases arc drawn from spring to apring. * * • An item appeared in this paper two weeks ago stating that only one school board in the county had grate- fully acknf>wle<lged the receipt of tht- liistory of Grey County. It appears : hat these volumes were sent to the 'I'achers in the (chool imd not to the lioardg, who were not advised of the lact and so were unable to forward ;i letter of appreciation. Again most <if the schools in Olenelg township have not yet re eived their copy and nl.io arc not able to express ,theii ' 'lanks. The booki ^;hnuld have been • -?nt to the secretaries of the school •loard.i and ro doubt the county of- ficials re-|>onsible would then have I ad no reason to feel hurt at th» ! light given by not nekiiowledirinK i!ie receipt of so valuable a volume.

Marie Star) On Monday, May 14, Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Madill, 42 Hawthorne Avenue, celebrated the 60th anniversary of their marriage. Ten years ago when they celebrated their golden wedding, many friends hoped for them many more happy years to- gether, and this wish has been real- ized. Monday many of these same friends and neighbors came in to congratulate this elderly esteemed couple who have lived in their homt on Hawthorne Avenue since the day they went to the Sault, almost 32 years a<',o. Families Came From Ireland Many years ago in the early days of Canada, two families left Ireland and came to Canada One family, the Madills, settled in Artemesia Town- ship near Eugenia, County af Grey, the other, the McKees, took up land at Fergus, Ont. Here Mary McKee was born, August 18, 1853. While yet a young girl her family moved to the County of Grey, not far from the Madill farm, where young Alex- ander Madill, born March 20, 1851, was quite a young man, helping his^ people to clear land, carving with the steady blows of an axe, a home in primitive |forest. Residents any- where in Grey County now as they motor swiftly over good highways, could give a passing thought to the.so pioneers whoso transportation was by ox-team over corduroy roads if at all. Owen Soun<l was the largest town, and consisted of a store or two, a mill, a church, and a few houses. Yet hard as work was there was a little time for romance, and finally a wedding in Artemesia Township at the home of the bride's parents, and Mary McKt-e became the bride of Alexander Madill, May 14 1874, Rev. Charles Cameron of the Presbyterian church at Priceville coming to perform the ceremony. ViHited Sault in 1889 Like many another lad before and since, Alex. Madill tired of farminfi and the young couple decided to seek better opportunities. They located in Mentor, Ohio, looked about and found work â€" with a farmer. Latir of course other work came his way l)Ut after a time they returned to the old homo and took up an adjoinini; farm. Forty-l'ive years ago Mr. Madill made a trip to the; Canadian West by boat, and got his first glimpse of the Sault. As there were .'â- cant ducking facilities the boat did not call there but went up through the American locks. But an im- pression was made and in August, 1902, the family arrived in the Sault. at that time being quite widely dis- cussed for its steel plant and papei mills. Livi-d in, home 32 years Residence was taken up on Haw- thorne Avenue. There was no num- oer on the house, and there was only c.To other house near. Between t!<3m arnl their neighbor, and the railroad track, was a tangled bush of alders and scrub trees. Among these the children played and many a quick run was made for home when tramps loitering along thle- railway were encountered. Water had to be carried from the spring at the head of Brock Street, and each had has shoulder yoke and pails, (iuits Work at 80 Mr. Madill's first work in the Sault was a drayman. One day coming from the government dock and cross- ing the street at Pim, he was struck by a street car, his horse killed and himself badly injured. When he recovered be obtained a position with the government, as mail man for the ship canal and this work he did foi six years. Then he went to the steel plant to work, retiring in his 80th year with honor and the highest commendation paid by his fellowmen with the presentation of a handsome easy chair which he is still much too busy to use often. Conservative and Presbyterian It is a pleasure to visit with Mr and Mrs. Madill. Their years of varied experience has given them a mellowed tolerant outlook on life and they have many interesting and a- niusing anecdotes to tell of their lives both in old Ontario and early days of the Sault. Mr. Madill is keenly interested in the events of the .day. He is a staunch Consei-vative and his many years of voting have given him keen judgment in most mattevs. He thinks the Sault has done wisely in being loyal to the present Membei and that any change now would be a grave mistake. In religion Mr. and Mrs. Madill are Presbyterians. Both enjoy good health and abounding cheerful spirits. Mr. Madill has never been ill except for accidemts which he has suffered two or three times. Mrs. 'Madill, although a frail little woman, still does her own work, tending her household with the same beautiful care that she has made it so long a real home, smiling at vis- itors' enthusiasm over quaint old dishes, handsome beautiful furniture that has been in the family for a century or more, all the lovely thing? that have been gathered about them and taken on a permanence rare in these days of uncertainty and mad hurry. Eight of 10 Children Living There were 10 Children, five sons and five daughters, of whom two have piussed on. Four live in the Sault, Mrs. F. Walton, Tarentorus, Mrs. J. W. McDonald, 18 Hawthorne Avenue, Mr. A. W. Madill, 53 St. Andrew's Terrace, and Mr. S.
