Propnetort Splendid Program For Civic Holiday A splendid program of sports has been drawn up for the annual picnic of Flesherton Old Boys' and Girls' Association being held here on Civic Holiday, Monday, August 2ud. From morning until late at night there will be entertainment for everyone and it will be well worth while coming miles to join in the celebration and at the same time it will be an opportunity to visit friends who will be here that day from distant points. Q^e program commences in the morning with water sports at the pond, for which events have been pro- vided that will be very interesting. In the afternoon two softball games between four good teams are the feature. Singhampton and Maxwell, finalists in the Badgeros men's soft- ball league, will meet, and Dundalk and Markdale girls will attempt to battle out a win. The basket picnic will commence at 5.3o to be followed by a softball game between the old boys visiting and the local old timers. This should be lots of fun, if nothing else. The feature of the evening will be the amateur program at the Park pavil- ion. Three classes are being provid-, ed vocal, instrumental and dancing, with prizes of $50 being offered to the winners. There are also age limit classes and the younger people will compete in their own group. Any person wishing to compete may in- form Mr. F. H. W. Hickling at any time or at the pavilion by 7.30 p.m. concert night. Any person will be welcome to take their place on the program. Following the concert, dancing will be held in the Park to the music sup- plied by Don. Blackburn's 8-piece or- chestra of Toronto, who dish out real syncopation for the enjoyment of the dancers. All in all, it is going to be another great re-tmion so be sure and be on hand for the celebration. The town will welcome everyone to the sport- ing events of the day. Lets go, and make the event another red-letter day. Browsed On Tin Cans A farmer informs The Advance of a peculiar incident in the life of a cow which he owns and which goes to show that even animals have their tragedies as well as human beings. This animal developed a lump on her jaw. The vet was phoned to and the swelling described. The Dr. said it was probably lump jaw. The swell- ing got worse and the Dr. was called to examine it. He forced the an- imal's mouth open and then asked the farmer what he was paying for sal- mon can tops. He then pried a sal- mon can top from between the cow's jaws, where it had become wedged so tightly that it was difficult to dislodge. The swelling has now disappeared. That cow will probably not browse any more on tin can gar- bage heaps. Had that cow been able to talk she would probably have explained that her thought was that it was a con- densed milk can instead of a salmon can, and that it would help her to give condensed milk for her owner.

The revised interim rates arranged for 1937 take into account impending additional capital costs to be incur- red for additional power supplies for the Georgian Bay System municipali- ties. Of the 59 cost municipalities 16 will receive reduction in interim rate, 3 a slight increase, and the re- mainder no change. In addition to the above-mentioned rate reduction, refunds to consumers in 19 municipalities were also auth- orized. The total estimated refund to these consumers will amount to $47,268 Refunds will be made in 29 munici- palities in respect of power for mun- icipal purposes and the total amount to be refunded will amount to $11,591. The consumers in the Georgian Bay System will, therefore, benefit by $110,591. Of this amount^ $47,268 will be refunded to them by a reduc- tion from their monthly bill; $52,132 •vill be deducted from their monthly bill by means of rate reductions. The refund to the municipalities of $11.- 59 1 will benefit the taxpayers in gen- eral.
