Feversham Auction Sale Will Be Large Affair The committee in charge of the Auction Sale to be held in Fever- sham on Thursday, June 5th at 1 p.m., has received such an enthusias- tic response to its request for artic- les that right now the sale is certain to be a huge success. We are glad to announce that Hon. F. R. Oliver, Minister of Public Works, will be present to deliver a patriotic address to the gathering which is expected to exceed 700 people. Great as is the part being played in Britain's war effort by her army, navy and air force, equally great is the part played by the civilian popu- lation men women and children. It is as important that the spirit and morale of these people be maintain- ed, as that the fighting forces be supplie'd with arms. Eveything we can do to help the victims of the war by our gifts, will be a source of strength to them and thus have a direct bearing upon the outcome of the war. Will you help us with your gifts and your patronage that we may help those across the sea who are not in a position to help themselves. (Oont.) YOUNG PRICEVILLE BOY WAS DROWNED Tragedy visited Priceville Sunday afternoon when Russell Wilson, Sbn of Mr. and Mrs. John Wilson of Prieeville was drowned in the pond near his home. Russell went to the pond to fish in the early afternoon and he was last seen at three p.m. on the dam with his pole in his hand. When he did not return home for supper his parents became alarmed and commenced to make inquiries among the neighbors and at the home of his grandparents, 19th of Proton. When it was found that he was not there search commenced at the pond and the 11 year old lad was found near the dam in about 15 feet of water. It is surmised that Russell climbed a tree when his line became caught in the branches, and in some manner slipped and fell int the water. He was unable to swim. The funeral is being held this Wednesday afternoon, with service at the home of his grandfather, Mr Herb Harrison, 19th hf Proton. Interment will be made in McNeil! Cemetery, Priceville.

At the time of writing wt- are glad to announce a definite am- ount of $235 on hand from the auc- tion sale and cash donations by people who were unable to assist by labor or their attendance It -would be hard to single out any individual* in the whole area for special men- tion. A horse was up for auction, a yearling heifer, hogs of various sizes, live and dressed fowl, eggs, furni- ture, dogs, vegetables and grains and potatoes in quantity. In fact John O'Neil, was, even for a versatile Irishman and auctioneer, fairly well taxed to name some things, and was seen to scratch his head several times, not from itch, but from lack of words. We have never heard of any such a thing happening in Jack's career previously. The truckers re- sponded splendidly, six of them, be- sides ears with trailers. We feel sure that 50 or 60 men were kept busy from early morning to late afternoon. The result of the day was any- where from 25 to 40 tons of good scrap. At present this is only guess work, but it looks like three or four hundred dollars as an estimate by those who should know. The program in the afternoon was- ably handled by Rev. Dr. Campbell, who presented the speakers: Hon. F- R. Oliver and Lieut. Pierce of the Armored Brigade, Camp Borden, who brought three armoured vehicles and four men with him. After the sale the boys gave a pleasing demonstra- tion of what armored vehicles could do on the hills. The Priceville pipe band gave liberally of their best ir the intervals. At night a crowded hall listened to- some splendid music bv the local orchestras -and they kept the floor filled with enthusiastic dancers until 11.30 p.m., when the management called it a day and what a day! Mr. F. G. Karstedt, president, has; reason to be cheerful and thankful for the splendid co-operation ne re- ceived. A day full of much work for the gang and trucks, a day when everyone gave unstintingly of goods, time and good fellowship and, we hope, a good measure of help to the Motherland. The committee ha* every reason to be grateful over the result.
