Proprietor* District to Load Car of Food For Western Point The loading of the car of food- stuffs for the dried-out areas of our western provinces will be made at Flesherton station on Thursday of this week. Vegetables and fruit are the donations requested. The car loaded here is destined for Rouleau, Sask, and without doubt it will be with expectant hearts that they will await its arrival. Trucks will call Thui-sday afternoon to pick up produce at the following points: Feversham, Maxwell, Wai'e- ham shed, Rock Mills, Eugenia United Church shed, the barns of Ed. Loucks, Milton Bannon and J. T. Best. Please have all contributions at these depois Thursday morning for all will be need- ed to fill the car. The need for food in the unfortunate west is known to everyone and it is Hoped that there will be so much given that a second cor would be needeo to carry the donations. Ontario has been blessed with jrood crops this year and it is only a Christian act to share our surplus goods with those whose need is greater than ours. Every small donation will be as thankfully received as a larger one, but give to your best ability. Record Ontario Vote Indian Sentenced In County Court In County Criminal Court at Owen Sound, Rupert Kewagishig, Chippewa Hill Reservation Indian, was sentenced to 30 months in Kingston Penitentiary on charges of theft and breaking, en- tering and theft. Judge G. W. Morley passed sentence. Kewagishig was captured at Mark- dale following robberies of the Mark- dale Garage and the Markdale Variety Store several week.s ago. .\ppearing in county court he pleaded not guilty but the evidence of Constable S. H. Cooke, Provincial Officer of Flesher- ton, and others involved in the case was such that the Judge gave a ver- dict of guilty and then passed sent- ence. The theft charge was for rob- bery of the Variety Store, while the breaking, entering and theft charge was for robbery of the garage. The convicted man has, according to police, a lengthy criminal record including terms in Guelph Reform- atory and Kingston Penitentiary. Ontario polled a record vote in the general election Oct. 6, with about 100 polls unreported â€" mostly in Northern Ontario â€" of the total of 10.500.

But there is a very simple method by which better newspapers can be pro- duced and that is for those who sub- scribe to them to take an individual interest in seeing that they get more local and personal news. Not that the subscriber is expected to become a reporter when he becomes a sub- scriber, but because the newspaper sitands as the exponent of all that is good for the community and because civic pride should, therefore, lead to encouragement of such an institution. If the subscriber has visitors, if he has been on a visit or if he or she is going on one, the neighbors are sure to be interested in knowing about it. TeTl tliem through the home town paper. Every little item of a local or personal nature helps just that much to make a still better newspaper and getting it to the editor requires very little exertion on the part of any- one. That is how the subscriber can Declares Press Most Potent Safety Force The press of Ontario is the most important single factor in the war be- ing waged against highway deaths and accidents, according to an opin- ion expressed this week by Hon. T. B. McQuesten, Minister of Highways for the province. ".Although conclusive s t a t istics have not yet been completed," said Mr. McQuesten, "there can be no question that the 'fear' campaign which the highways department has conducted during the past several months has had a definite effect on the reduction of the horrible cai-nage and needless waste which has been stalking our highways. "It is quite evident," he declared, "that whatever success this campaign has achieved is due in great measure to the whole-hearted co-operation which has been extended to the De- partment of Highways by editors in every Ontario community, and I wish through the medium of the press to extend to them this department's warmest gratitude for the public- spirited way in which they have used their news and editorial columns to save human lives and pi'event misery and destruction." Comments have been pouring into his office every day. the minister said, both from motorists and pedestrians concerning the effectiveness of the de- partment's campaign. The most sig- nificant, he maintained, came from scores of travelling salesmen and truck drivers. "These men," said Mr. McQuesten. "are driving on the highways every hour of the day and each day in the week. They, perhaps more than any other groups, are more quick to ob- serve changes in the driving habits of the province, and they have been al- most unanimous in commenting on the general improvement in highway mot- oring. They report less cutting in. less passing on hills and curves, and a noticeable reduction in all the bad, careless, thoughtless habits which re- sult in death and destruction on the lighway." iiut there is still much work to be done, pointed out the minister. Peo- ple are still being slaughtered on the roads of the province, and automobiles are still piling themselves up in twist- ed heaps of wreckage. The war a- gainst thoughtlessness, reckl«ssness and stupidity on the highways must be carried on until people can travel in Armless Wiartonian I Can Play Football; Wiarton has a 14-year-old boy who plays football, umpires baseball, is skilled at drawing, writes well, rides a bicycle, and has his share of fun. Nothing unusual about that. But in this case the boy is Bert Rouse, who lost both his arms as the result of an accident seven years ago. When Bert was seven years old he grabbed wires carrying 6,000 volts while playing on a roof. .Amputation of both arms was necessary. "They can who think they can," is the motto Bert holds before himself. It was inscribed in a book written by W. R. Watson, business man, who lost his arms early in life, and who sent Bert a copy of the book. Bert still has trouble eating and dressing, but he thinks he soon will have mastered these arts. He writes and draws with a pencil held in his teeth. He even goes fishing, holding the pole between his chin and the sid â-  of his neck. He has confidence in the future intends to make his own way. "Something will open up by time I leave school," he said, know it will." High School Holding An Election for Lit. Society anil the "I An assembly of the high school students was held on Friday after- noon last for the nomination officers for the Literary Society for the pres- ent term. Mr. H. L. Eubank, prin- cipal, acted as chairman and .\ileen Karstedt was appointed secretary pro- tern. The chaimian gave a general outline of the positions to be filled and called for nominations, with a maximum of tw-o students for each office. Two parties were to be form- ed, the policy and plan of each party to be presented to the students this coming Friday, when each nominee will give a short outline of his or her policy, following which a general elec- tion will he held. .Miss McClean and Miss Pallett conducted a sing-song while the nominated candidates with- drew to form their two parties, with the able assistance of Messrs. Eubank ; and Hutton. After consideral^le dis- ' cussion. two parties were formed and I named, consisting of the "Invincibles"' and the ''Gold Standards."

Bennett & Richards Phone 78, Flesherton Dogs Destroyed Sheep John McDonald, farmer of Melanc- thon Township, had only five sheep left out of a flock of 25 as a result of a raid by dogs Friday night. While some of the sheep were killed out- right by the dogs, most of them were driven into the spring creek which runs through the pasture and were drowned. All the sheep were good breeding ewes, ranging in age from two years upwards. Two are unac- counted for to date, and of the five surviving sheep three are injured. A number of the sheep were so badly torn they had to be destroyed. Dr. T. H. Spence, veterinary surgeon, was called to dress the injuries of Aie flock. A week previously McDonald had two himbs killed by dogs, and other farmers of the district have also complained of raids on their flocks. I To this end, he called for the un- ceasing aid of Ontario editors and every pedestrian and motorist in the province. "The Department of Highways," tated Mr. McQuesten, "is doing ev- erything it can to design and con- struct highways which will be as ac- cident proof as engineering science can make them, but this can be of lit- tle effect unless the human beings who travel the highways take upon themselves the responsibility of con trolling the ever-present "human fac- tor' in accident prevention. Engm- eers can mold concrete and steel to the ends of .safety, but no force more I)otent than the press has been found which can mold human minds into l)at]hs of life-saving thoughtfulness.''

A WHITE-COLLAR POSITION It's time we abolished the silly tradition that some kinds of work are "a gentleman's job,' and others are not. Many a boy who wants to be an aviation mechanic, a chirop- odist, or a saxaphone player is sac- rificed on the altar of his parents' pride. They try to force him into a traditionally higher task: and he be- comes a second-rate executive out of a job. There is a shorta'ge of .skilled labor, yet how many parents are courageous enough to guide a hoy to- ward the bench instead of the desk? The world's largest crops exhibit, the International Grain and Hay Show, will be held for the 19th time in connection with the exposition. Growers from 37 states, Canada, and Au-stralia took part in this contest ast year. The management expecl.-- an even wider and more e.xtensive dis- play of exhibits this year because oi the good crop yields in most sections of the continent. It will be the 38th annual renewal of the largest exposition of farm an- imals and crops on the continent.
