HAD JOYFUL FUN You folk did get such joyful fun Out of the prose of Council's run. That 1 am tempted now to try To prove I wiote it, and that I Wrote it in fun and for the livin' And expected it taken in the spirit given. It was not meant for jibe or slight, If you can't lose, you shouldn't fight. The new year could be a wonderlul timie To start anew and try to climb Back to a height we once did know AVhen once good-feeling we did show We used to try and help the one Whose luck was down and never shun Our duty in a manly way Alas! It is ot so to-day. Yet if we all took heart and tried I'm sure those feelings have not died, We've just allowed a callous state To let in greed and maybe hate. Let's start anew, let's have a plan In our treatment of the other man. Let's help him up, not treat him spare And really make him think we care No one thing that we could do Would make the world brighter to you. Let's start right now, coime off the shelf And next year will look after itself. â€" iShake Stauff FLESHERTON HIGH SCHOOL In High School Auditorium Friday December 12 to commence at 8:.'{0 p.m. Music by i Murray Simmon's Orchestra .\dmtssiou: 50c ' t n ii nm i»i » »»*»i>* i ii n « t *****>****« »»> »> *♦*♦♦< The action of the Central Ontario Hockey League in donating Â¥''.5.00 to cessary for the cash purchase assist in the renovation of tho Flesh- erton rink is greatly appreciated by those in charge locally. The job has been a tremendous one and during the past week over 350 yards of earth has been removed from the playing surface of the rink, by men shovelling into trucks. Each after- noon and night gangs of resi'lpntT donated their survices in ord;- to have the job done as cheeply as pos- sible and nobody can deny tha: thoy did not do a good job. This Tuesday the County grader was being used to level the ground. The men in charge should be given a i-eal hand, too. The lighting system of the rink has been changed and wll be one of the best lighted on the circuit, as 24 li.ghts will be available for hockey games.

Canadians a)e people who stand up for themselves, says a writer. And the street car and bus companies are doin-g a gi'and job of teaching them how. In view of the pi-ogress which has been nrnde in renovating the local skating rink to a condition of safety and pennanance, it is felt that the residents of this conuii'Unity should be kept pro^perly informed in respect to the condition of the finances, the method of financing and objectives. At the time the Flesherton Service Club was formed, the first urgent project undertaken was that of pro- viding adequate skating and hockey flac!liti<»s. The local skating rink, privately owned, was not in suitable condition for operation and it was the unanimotis opinion of the Club to purchase it, and effect such re pairs as would make it a pemianent or serai-peiTnanent going concern. There wa^ some doubt as to whether the building could be sati.sfactorily repaired- Present condition of t*i» building and the method of rsp.i.ia effected, clearly indicate that the building can now be positively con- sidered sound :in(l permanent. Owing to the fact that other inter- ests were prepared to immediately negotiate for the pui-chase of tne buildng from the vendor, it was :; matter of expedience for the Seivice Club to raise the required funds ne- on vei-y shoit notice. The finance com- mittee of Fleshei-ton Old Home Week unanimously approved of the trans- fer of $850.00 of cash on hand, to be applied toward the purchasing of th. building. To complete the agree- ment it appeared that the plausible method .under the pressing time factor) lay in the securing of a large number of collateral notes from citi zens of tangible assets, which in turr could be immediately converted intt bank credit. .Approximately S.'^OOO.O' of collateral security was obtained in a matter of a few days on which the local bank approved a loan ol $2000,00. The purchase of the rink was satisfactorily negotiated. It is now the intention of the fin- ance committee to matte this project solvent and to this end efforts wi" be directed : (1) To public donation within the local community. (2) To financial support from coi^i panies and individuals outsi<f the "community. (3) To financial assistance f the local municipality. The canvas of the local comm- ity has i;ow cwnmenced. It is hone: that everyone will be ^iven an l^ortunity to a.ssist this worth-wb' project. A list of all those who have p-^- financial assistance will periodically. â€"Finjlftce Committee: R. j.

Oliver, W Tur Best (By Hugh Bailey; At a time when the farmers of Ontario are at the crossroads re- garding the future, when they face uncertainty regarding markets, sup- plies and delivery of feed, prices for their livestock, dairy and poultry products and in estdmating blieir cost of production, and when they face adjustments in tariffs and quotas. your central wholesale is able to re- port progiess â€" progress, which, I believe, if extended far enough, would assist very materially in solving these problems. Our volume for the year, including livestock sales on a commission basis, was $27,414,439.78. Net savings for the year, after providing for depre- ciation, interest on loan capital and employees' bonus, amounted to $322,- $871. ;J4. The liquid position has im- ,,roved during the year and now stands at .|58o,802,22. The proportion of our total sales made to affiliated co-operatives has increased, so that it now stands at 70 percent. Distribution of earnings to members amounted to $140,971.36, half of which was paid in cash. In a<ldition, individual shippers of eggs, poll try and cream are bing paid $80,068.28. A copy of the consolidated balance sheet and statement of earnings has been mailed to shareholders, along with interest cheques and a full re- port of the company's affairs ^vas presented to the annual meeting held in Toronto on December 3rd and 4th.
