PubWshert Kimberley Won Hockey Game From Fledberton (By Kimlberley Reporter) Thursday night Flesherton and Kimberley played the second game oi their series, reaulting in a 7-8 win for Kimberley, in a last, hard fought game. Laveme Morwood, playing his first game in several years, in the Kimlberley nets turned in a suipeilb performance while Bruce Hodgninbon played a brilliant game on defence. All seven goals for Kimlberley were scored by their first line, Gord Chard getting four, Bill Lawrence, two, and Ken Chard, one- Although the second line of Harold Graham, Den Graham and Garry EUis failed to score, they turned in a fine game, particularly in view of the fa«5t that the two Gra- ham boys were playing their first game of the season without previous practice. For Flesherton, Roy Best, Teeter, and goalie, Eddie Ferris were the outs.tanding players. Teeter scored two goals and Best, ^me. Referee, Harold Best handed out two penal- ties, one to each team.

J. Stauffer, PHONE 57W FLESHERTON; Family Allowance Picture Canada's Family Allowances have been in operation now for ju&t over a year, and statistics covering the full picture are being released by the Department of Health and Welfare. Some 1,363,000 families have re- ceived allowances to date. The Min- ister reveals that while the larges:t Single payment actually made to any one family has been f65 a month the avetrage ipaid per tfamily has been |14.27. Two-thirds of Canada's families receiving the allowance average be- tween two and three children each- There are only 3,644 families in Can- ada having two or more children- This represents only one-third of one percent of the families in Canada receiving Family Allowances- Families containing between five and nine children under sixteen total 122,300, and are 11 percent of Can- ada's families. ThoSe having four children or less total over SS per- cent of the families receiving the allowances. Families with income below '^.000 annually derive some revenue from the allowance, though income tax exemption^ are lowered by the amount received in allowances. The general picture of Family Allowances in Canada is that the payment of this money each month is achieving the desired result in terms of better nutrition, better houl^ing, better education, and better opportunities for the children of Canada.

The special leave permitted them to leave school as early as April, providing thoir school work waS up to the mark. In the memorandum from the De- .partment of Education, the state- ment was made that the students of the province who assisted on farmS had made a noteworthy contribution to the national economy- Hog Carcass Demonstration Held At Feversham A hog carcass demonstration was held in Feversham last week, the hogs selected having been shipped from the district in which the dem- onstration waS held- Hence fanners attending see their own hog sold the previous week, dressed and ready for sale, returned from Toronto on the day of the demonstration- The dis- cussion was conducted by H- D- Scotchmer, B^S-A-, of the production service of the Dominion Department of Agriculture, who was brought up on a farm and spent fve years aS a government hog grader- Some striking facts and figures were presented at the meeting. Mr- Scotchmer stated that overflnishcd can be corrected by feeding a bal- anced ration at all timeS. but using a ration for growth in the growing period, that is consisting of larger quantities of protein; and a fattening feed in the fattening period, or one containing a lower amount of protein. A more careful selection of breed- ing stock and eradication of cross bred andn on registered breeding stock would correct much of the bad type, Mr. Scotchmer stated. Wrong weight was. he said, simply a matter of securing scales and weighing pigfe periodically, then shipping when the hogs weighed approximately 200 libs. empty. A hog maikes the fastefet gain in the finishing period, but also it is the most expensive gain, therefore the producer loses due to the extra coSt of excess finish, and loss of bonus for grade A, Mr. Scotchmei remarked. Former Maxwell Resident Writes From The West Kelvington, Saak. Dear Editor :- When I get the mail, put bobm wood in the stove, turn on the lijibt and with feet up on the table, peruse the old home paper, I regret to learn of the passing of old tiniMi whose names bring many pleasant recollections- I sincerely extend my sympathy to the bereaved and thote who are sick- I am pleased to not* Willie Scutt still votes arod Geois* Ross preside over the Agricultim Society, the last place I saw him ma in The Advance Oififice revising th« prize list- Thankfe George, for tb* address of Rev- E- T- Douglas, our Methodist minister at Maxrwell fifty years ago- I had a grand visit wtth him at Swan Lake laSt fall. The »•• cent account of Ab Burke's visit to his old home, after 6i years sway* brought to my mind the many timM he crossed the old Beaver River on his way to Maxwell end the odd Stone we fired at the old Miller shanty, for which we were chased with a shotgun. Of the victims ol run-away accidents we tried to as- sist, including Charlie Kerton, hfc- parents and grandmother and team and democrat, whom I witnessed go thi-ough the old bridge into the river. But gee. the fire's out and I nearly forgot to renew my subscription, so, with best wishes to all the old tirrers and "The Advance". Yours for. the days of Auld Lang Syne. â€" C. M. (Mill) Brownridge. Plant Maple Trees In Great Britain Cemeteries When Youth Faces Life Every boy and girl reaches the age at which fairy tales and childish de lusions are laid aside, and they face the age-old problems of life. These are momentous problems â€" the prob- lems of themselves, their reactions to life, the course they are to chooSe, and to what distant goals they are to aspire. Mistakes made in these early de cisions may prove tragic in later year?. Yoiith needs guidance as it comes into this phase of life in which it acquires a 'sense of moral and u- man responsibility for its acts and aims and the course it pursues iii "life. It.s best guide is religion. There i!s no sur r way to fortify boys and girls against the pitfalls of life, and teach them to make wise de- cisions than by bringing them up under the influence of religious trachinj'. When people think right, they are very apt to choose right and act right- They go wrong when they think wrong. The Church i.s an aSset c.f price- less value, not only to the individual, but to the community and the State. It is the vespository o' hose moral and spiritual teachings which build character and promote fjood citizen- ship. It inSpires faith, which is the substance of things hoiped for and the evidence of things not 'seen. Religion is the g\iide of ynutb and 5tvenfrtb of (.vcv age. and the foun- dlation upon which a useful. succoSs- fnl y\^r- ;.- \\\\\\\. â€" Mt F'Host ""fm- fcdornt' Some two years ago the Ontario Horticultural Society, working witk the Royal Horticultural Society of Great Britain, sent overseas a sbigr ment of Canadian maple tree seed- lings', to be planted in Canadan cem- eteries overseas. TheSe trees, ac- cording to information received from the Imperial War Graves Conunission and received by Jolm A- Carroll, Secretary of the Ontario Horticul- tural Association, have been planted in the nursery at Brookwood in Sui- rey, and have now reached a height of from five to six feet and are ready for planting- There are 280 maple trees n the nursery, 100 silver maples, 100 Scarlet maples and 80 Sugar maples. It has now been de- cided that, since there are more- trees than can be used in the Can- adian cemetery at Brookwood. some of them will be planted in the RCAF regional cemeteries at Harrowgate, Chester, Bath. Cambridge and Ox- ford, where considerable numbers of Canadian airmen have been buried. In order to provide for the distri- bution and planting, and also the care of theSe trees, the Ontario Horticultural Society directors, states Mr- Carroll, have authorized that a sum of money, of nearly $500, now in the hands of the Royal Hor- ticultural Society, and originally in- tended to provide flower and vege- table seeds for prisoners of war camps in enemy countries, be util- ized for this purpose. This money was subscribed by horticultural societies in Ontario, and the original purpose of the fund having been eliminated by the end of the war. It is felt that no better outlet could b(- found for the balance of the money on hand than to use it for the planting, of these maple lree« in the places where Canadian men are buried. CarrI of Tlianks I wish to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to my neighbors, friends and relative^ foi their many acts of kindness and as- sistance for treats, cards and lettet* during my recent serious illness. â€" Geo- H- Burke.
