Conron - Webster A quiet wedding was solemnized in the United Church Manse in Xipa- win, Sask., on VVednesday, Nov. 12, at 2 p.m., when Evelyn Irene second daughter of the late Mr. Geo. Webster and .Mrs. Webster of Choiceland. Sask., became the bride of Dalton Alexander, second son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Conron of Fever- sham. Rev. V. Sangwine performed the wedding ceremony. The bride was attractive in a navy blue suit and wore a corsage of roses. Miss Adeline Webster, sister of the bride, as bridesmaid, wore a dark green suit. Her corsage was also of roses, Mr. Alvin Conron, brother of the groom, acted as best man. Mrs. Geo. Webster and Mr. Alvin Conron signed the register. About fiifteen guests attended the ARCHIE SINCLAIR (Photo by Palmer) an idea which spread across th*; con- tinent and was responslbl.; for turn- ing what otherwise would have been drab surrounding into well known beauty spots. Residents along this line of the C. F.R. will recall the "Steamboat Ex- press."

DANGER IN LEAVING LITTLE ONES ALONE A fo«r-year-old-boy, locked in his little southern Allberta home with bis nine-year-old bi-other for "safe keep- ing," was burned to death within five minutes. The baby was seriously in- jui'ed. The mother, it appears, had left the childi-en alone to visit a neigh- bor for just a few minute^ What happened is not known, except the house was destroyed in a sudden ''flash" fire and the children were, trapped. This motlier will never forgive her- self. But how many other mothers will do about the same thine and risk their children's lives? Of course, all parents are ^we, when they leave their little ones alone, that nothing Willi happen to their children. But there is only one safe rule; never leave young childreai alone,- -Edmon- ton Journal. for the "Steamboat Express," with a turn-table and so forth. The remain- der of the trip to Owen Sound witji boat fi-eight and passengers was then taken in a short run of S5 miles. Mr. Sinclair was night operator at Or- angeville at the time of the Caledon wreck, when seven passengers were killed on the famed "horseshoe curve" and may others injured. This acci- dent occurred during Toronto Exhi- bition time in the year 1907. Mr. Sinclair's first appointment as an agent was at Pickerel, when the C.P.R. line to Sudbury was opened Later he was an operator at the yard office in North Bay. He was at White River (said to be the cold- est place in Ontario where weather records are kept) for one winter He also served as agent at Barnes- dale (south of Parry Sound), Mid- hurst an Essa (fonnerly called Utopia) on the main C.P.R. line to the West. At Priceville, where h«i was agent for two years, he was suc- ceeded by the same man who has now come to Dundalk in his place â€" name- ly Herbert B. Mclnuis, who with Mrs. -Mclnnis (the former Louie Robinson) a^nd son, George, recently arrived here from Hanover. Incidentally, Mr. Mclnnis was the last regular agent at Priceville, which is now in charge of a caretaker agent. Similar chang- es at Proton and Corbetton have made Dundalk station an ever busier office, and no one knows better than Mr. Sinclair the large amount i f ex- press and freight which are ivindlod here, along with sales of tick>ts. He- has bured a lot of ',midn!ght oil." so ro speak, but he always found time for his favorite lecreation â€" walking. Prior to coming to Dundalk in 19.37, Mr. Sinclair served 19 years at Flesh- erton Station (Ceylon). One event which stands out in his mind while stationed there was the confession of Aniold Love to the murder of his mother, for which crime the wather, Henry Love, had previously been con- victed and paid with his life. It was believed he was conscience-stricken when a certiiin Evangelist Sharpe was preaching in the neighborhood, which caused him to make the confes- sion. Mr. Sinclair recalls that thous- ands of words were wired to the Toronto papers from the statiom tell- ing all the angles of the sfange confession. Nobody can say .\r'-h:-? Sirciair has lacked work at the local station, which for several years has been without an assistant. In this situation his wife, the former Beatrice Hali>s of Flesherton. has come to the fore at busy per ;ds and they h.ivo worked late, kesp^iig the recor-.is s'.raight. Dundalk and district rosid --.ts, whom they have ?i'i-ved so ^ve^., are pleased that they irtend, e/f-r.*udi1y lo settle down here, as they h'.ve prO"en them- selves excellent citizens. Their daugh. ter, Mrs. Fred McDonald (Margaret) resides at Emsdale, and' their son. Jim, operates a mink ranch in the place where he was bom â€" Ceyl.in. Ont. So. if you see Archie taking things easy, and puffing away calmly on his favorite cigrar â€" don"' envy him his leisure. "I think I'v-; tamed it," he says, and we agree with him. -Archie has been prominent in Lodge work and is a Past Master of Prince Arthur Lodge No. "33, A F.& Recent contributions to the rink project of the Flesherton Sevrice Club, are as follows: Cash applied against ?50 notes: C.

Crossing the street opposite [her home, she had proceeded about three-quarters of the way when she apparently retraced her steps, not noticing the car approaching. Mr. Beaton expected Mrs. Wilson would continue on her way home and had pulled well to the left to give her plenty of room, when she ran in front of his car. The unfortunate woman was knocked down and went under the car.
