Thurston & Son, Publishers,, Give Your Name At Accident For refusing to give his name to the other party following a motoi car accident, a Montreal man had to pay a $25 fine. The case should be a warning to motorist». Do not forget that, if you figrure in a collision with another car, the law demands that you give your naant and address in writing, tf the other paity to the accident demands it. Failure to do so carries with it a penalty. You have nothing to fear fron this. If you were not in the wrong in the accident, giving full particu- lars as to your identity virill usually aid in clearing you from blaane. Your refusal to supply the information win not only make it incoavenient for you, but it may also weigh heav ily in the eyes of a court should a suit ensure. Juries quite often will take this as an indication of guilt. Do not forget, also, that you havt the right to demand the name and addreS'! of J:^:â- ;l:raan who tangles witl: you. â€" Chatham Daily News. Card of Thanks •.

As yet the ice has not left the local p<md at the Co-operative mill and there is plenty of ice on the Eugenia lake, so conditions will not be any too satisfactory for fishing. District hotels have their quota of rooms re served for those coming from a distance. The district streams are all open, although the water is high and running fast.

For almost two weeks there has been a steady run of sap. Considerable syrup has been placed on the market, some of it being offer- ed last week at $4.00 per gallon, while others are asking $&.0O.

K. G. BETTS, Reeve : Shortage Of Farm Labor Brings Out JStudenta The provincial educational author ities have announced that high schooi pupils would again this year be al- lowed to leave school early in the term and be granted their examina- tion standing following several wedcs work on farms during the summer. Plenty has been said about the shortage of farm labor, and the pro- blem of he farmer during seed timt and hanves^. The situation is no better now than it was last autumn and no great effort has been made to find relief. It is true that a few hun(Jred Polish soldiers have been allowed to enter Canada, but other than that little has been done. It is reported that go\'ernment officials ere at the moment touring Europe in a survey for possible immigrants, ut it -"s unlikely that any will reach Canada in time for this year's hai-v- est. In the meantime, industries are drawing more men off the land with "he allurement of better wages, fhorter hours and improved working conditions. The chief obstacle, however, ,is wagesL Farmers have never been able to compete with industry ip this regard, because farm incomes are not sufficiently large enough The only solution it would seem then, is that farmers must be al- lowed to raise prices sufficiently tc enable them to pay wage scales com- parable to those received by indus- trial workers. Canadian agriculture ought to be encouraged. Every effort should bt made to enable increased acreage and greater production, but instead, farm requiresnents are being neglect- ed. Surely something is wrong with cur system when luxury industries are able to flourish, while agricul- ture suffers, especially in light of millions of hungry people through- out the world. Somebody will certainly pay for the system of the past few years, when school pupils are devoting val- uable time to agriculture, rather than to preparation for their own futures. St John's W.M.S.

Daylight Saving Time Commences On Sunday Daylight saving for Flesherton conies into effect this coming Sunday morning, .A.pril 27th. Churches will meet on Daylight Saving Time, so b sure and set your clock ahead an hour when you go to bed Saturday night Radio will observe the fast time, as will the Gray Coah Lines. but the railways will operate on Standard Time. Most of tjhe cities, towns and vill ages in Ontario are observing I>ay- light Saving Time this year, and Flesherton did not decide on the summer time change until other nearby towns had decided to make the change. Our opinion is that the goverranent should declare the sum- mer time in force all over the couii tty and have all provinces observe it as was done during the w-ar. It leads to too much confusion otherwise. 91 Years Old Friday Scared Team Runs Away Clothing prices have been rising for the past 12 months, which sug- gests that there is not much neeri now to put wallet pockets in men's suits.

STATION Phone 63 F1e.-ih«rljn Ctansiderable excitement was arous^ ed in town for a few moments Fri- day afternoon, when a team ownet by Mr. Porter Beard of Springhill, ran away from the Co operalnve store, along the lane beside the curl- ing rink, across Sydenham Street and over Mr. HiekQing's lawn. In their run over the lawn the wagon to which they were hitched, struck a trellis over the siidewalk and took half ^of it away. The team then went on to the b€ick street aiui then turned norrih toward the Ba^jtist Church, when the wagon slewed anc struck Rev. White's car parked be side the property and smashed in one cf the fenders. The team finally parted with the wagon when they ' ttempted to go ai-ound a post. The ctnly damage done to the wagon was a broken tongue and a sanall amount to the harness. It was a short, but jnappy, run. j Hearty congralulatio.is arj extend ' ed to Mrs. Wni. Hislop of Eugenia, who win celebrate her :>lst birthday on Friday of this week \piil 25th. Mi-s. Hislop's health is very good, she assists with the housework, does sewing and is very interested in current events of the day. Her many friends 'wish her many more years of hearth and enjoyment with her family. Alex. M. Gibson Appointed Regional Postal Director Many in Flesherto*i and district will be interested to learn of the re- cent appointment of Alex. M. Gibson of Toronto ag regional director of ppstal services for Ontario. Alex, was bom in Flesherton and has serv- ed w-ith the Post Office Department for many years. For a number ol years he has been district director of postal ser\-ices in Toronto, and had supervision over this discrict. The position of district director is now being abolished and a new office of regional director, covering all oi Ontario has been established. He has been with the Department for 41 years. He will take over his new post immediately. Mrs. W. A. White, as guest speak- er, gave a very inspiring message, when she took as her text Acts 26^: 13 - 19, in which Paul, when defend- ing himself before King Agrip|», said he was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision. Mrs. W. I. Henry moved a vote of thanks to Mrs. Whitt on behalf of the WJSl.S., which was seconded by Mi's. Macpherson. A social time followed the meeting and refreshments were served. New Province For Canada? It appears that a delegation â-  scheduled to go to Ottawa in June in order to discuss terms, in an ex- ploratory manner, of a possible creation of a tenth province, if New- foundlaroi decides to join Canada, though it is significant that this del- egation will go to Ottawa only after discussions in London. Of course, rt is an important thing to note that, when this was announced in Ottaira, it was received in an enthusiastic Pet Coon Wa-Tdered Away manner on all sides, even if out- wardly there was a ressrved tone. It seems that, for strategic reasons of defense and trans-Atlantic aix senice and for a multitude of others, Newfoundland would be a worthy member of this confederation, but at the same time, it must not be over- looked that this old colony has had many financial pi-oblenis in recent years, with a Governor in Conwnis- sion in charge since 1934, when the island's- finances showed signs of needing reconstniction.
