MUd Weather Brings Maple Syrup Season Several wann days last week took down the high snow banks several feet, but the plows have not been able to widen the travelled part of the highways to any great extent. Saturday evening another storm hit this section and the No. 10 Highway was again blocked (which wasn't hard to do) and the hockey games between Sheltmrne and Markdale had tJ be ijostponed. Sunday evening the plows finally had the road open for motor traffic. Maple syup makers are now mak- ing final preparations for their an- nual task. Several farmers tapped last week and re?>orted a fair flow. It is expected that syruo) making will be in full flow next week. Two Local Men Decide To Race On Skates A matched skating race has been decided by IMlessrs. Mark Wilson and Alex. Henderson prove their claims of iiivincibiiity on skates. Each has put up SIO.UO in cash to support their own causp. Howard Milligan holds the stakes (a ris.ky thing, that), and Barney Welton is the promoter ol the show, when and if it comes off, and he is to secure the ice for the race. Neither contestant has done very much on skates during the past twenty years, but no doubt they know how. While it might just be barber .shop talk, the men appeared to be very serious in their claims. Local Man Loses Articles Taken From Hotel Room Provincial Police are on the look- out for a man who .stayed at the Park Hotel Monday night and before leaving Tuesday morning allegedly decked himselif out in raiment owned by Mr. Harry Fellow, who is the chef at the hotel. Among the loot taken were socks, new shoes, rub- bers and a new shirt. Harry grieved over the loss of his new shirt more than anything else. Description of the man, who gave his name as Roy Brown of Chven Sound, have been sent out by the police. The cast-off clothing was left in place of the nefly-acquired raiment. REMOVE CAR STICKERS Provincial Constable Harold Black wishes us to inform the public that all gasoline ration and other stickers on windshields are to be removed at once. These stickers have a tend- ancy to obscure the vision of car drivers and removal is thought wise- by Ontario Provincial Pdlice.

Over twenty years ago the Red Cross began establishing outpost hospitals and nursing stations in these remote regions. Today a whole chain of Outpost Hospitals can be found in the frontier distrias of- the Dominion. They bring medical science within reach of these isolated communities. Hundreds of thousands of patients have been treated in these tiny hospitals, including thousands of confinement cases. These hospitals also serve as health centres for their communities, carrying on medical inspection in the schools and organizing clinics for the children. Your help is needed to main- tain and expand this vital work. Stand behind the Red Cross, and help bring medical aid to your fellow-Canadians pioneering on Canada's frontiers. Give NOW . . . give generously. DONATIONS TO THIS APPEAL CAN BK LEFT AT ROl R BANK CANADIAN <#i RED ^'!';SS Died CARGO â€" At the Toronto General Hospital on Friday.

Salvation Army Looking After Norman Tackaberry Norman Tackaberry, well known throughout this entire district as a solicitor for farm papers, has been the centre of controversy between Grey County and Dufferin County officials during the past few weeks. Norman apent 19 months in the Orangeville hospital and came back last fall to the home of Mr. Luther Ducktett, west backline, Artemesia, where he had made his home off and on for the past few years. He went back on subscription work and be- fore Christmas took ill with heart trouble. The middle of Januai-y he went back to the hospital, but it was full and he was taken to the jail at Orangeville, where he remained for some weeks. He was brought to the Grey County Home at Markdale by Grey officials, but when they found there was a $1,000.00 tag on him for hospital treatment, they refused him adTnittance and he was taken back to the Orangeville jail. Those who know Xorman and his happy disposition will realize that he is making the best of the situa- tion and does not blame an.V person for the situation he is in. When able to work Norman always paid his way and was no panhandler, Kiving value fo!- everything he receive'l. Jail was no place for him in his pre- sent condition. The Salvation Army from Toronto became ince'-ested in the ciiSe and took him tj their hostel id Toronto last week. .vhC'O he will be given attention. Norman was a member of the Orangeville lacrosse team when they were at the height of their glory a few years ago. It is just in such cases where we think that a change should be made in the Ontario regulations regard- ing the care of indigents. Why they should be kicked around from pillar to post without care is beyond us. When these things occur to those whom we know well, we vitalize the inequality of the regula- tions as cover cases of this kind, where a person has resided in this province all his life, with no definite place rf haibitation. becomes ill and there is no place where he can call home. He originallv came from the Thomhujy district. Mr. And Mrs. Jas. Oliver Observe 45th Anniversary The twelfth of March marked tlM 45th anniversary of Mr. and Mrs James Oliver of Flesherton.
