The accident occurred on Highway 10. a mile south of town, with the machine tiavellii'.g at the rate <>f 1" miles poi- hour. When in front of the fai'm of Ross Oldfield, Ken stood up to shift his position and stood on the running board. Losing his balance. h'> grasped the closest object which happened to be the steermg wheel. This action pulled the tractor to the right off the pavement and through the ditch dragging Ken with it, as his pants' leg had caught on the bi\;ke and clutch. Continuing over t:he p5m»all^--<l<>wn wire ifence the tractor dropped Ken there and cont- nued on its merry way into the field where it stalled about half-way across in the soft ground. Ken's right side, from the shoulder down to his leg, was run over by the tra- ctor, which fortunately had smooth rubber tires, otherwise his injuries miirht have proven much moi-e ser- ious. The tractor was drawing a plow and this implement tU'ow Ken's clothes over his head but luckily did r.iit otherwise injure him. While Ken was able to pick himself up. he collapsed at the roadside. .\ passing truck hailed Elvin Richard- son of Corbetton. who brought him in his car to the office of Dr. Carter here. X-ray exanwnation at the offce of Dr. Sudden revealed nO broken bones and Ken was able to walk about ne.xt day, though some- wluit stilf and sore. â€" Dundalk Herald H-v.arU A. ilcCauley of Flesher- ton was chosen as the Progressive Gonservative candidate in South GreJ at the nominating convention of the South Gvey Conservative .Association at Dui-ham on Monday evening, and will oppose Hon. Farquhar Oliver, leader of the Liberal party in On. taro. Mrs. Austin Ball of Hanover, J. B. Duffield of Durham, F. D. Sawyer of Markdale and Harry Kress of Durham also received nom- inations, but the former three withdrew, leaving the field to Mr. McCauley and Mr. Kress, the former winning un the voting. Mr. McCauley is president of the South Grey Consei-vative .\ssocJa»ion and Mr. Sawyer the secretary. In his address, Mr. McCauley re- marked that "It's time people woke up in South Grey riding. Take a look over in Bruce County, where J. P. Johnstone is M.L..\. There have been more miles ol Hydro strung there than we've had in years. There is a new hospital in Southampton, a large chunk of it paid for by the province, and in -North Grey rural Hydro has been extended for many miles also. Mr. McCSiuley stated that the system of government in the province g-ves the opp.i.sition no opportunity at all and e.xiplained that the government goes into caucus be- fore sitting, when they put a word in for their own ridings, and the opposition does not know what goes on when the legislature sits. â- There's only one real opposition in the House as far as I've been able to see. Mr. McLcod and .Mr. Salsberg, the Labor-Progressive members, and they're the kind wc dont want i:-. the government. The Liberals seem to sit and sleep." In a^ltiition to this' 3Ir. McCauley continued, they tthe Liberals) are not consistent. "They have voted for every government oiii so far, and then they go out and criticize it." •'Since 1943 I have never stopped working for the Conservatives of South Grey," Mr. .McCauley said. "I 'nave averaged two trips to To. ronto per month to get old age pen sions or mothers' alloAvance TAG DAY REALIZED i'l.SO jVandeieur People Plant jOn Reforestation Project Tag day for the Canadian Xa- tional Institute., for the Blind was Vandeleur R^gorter) held m Flesherton on Saturday and ^ combined i-eforestatien plot a»« the citizens ol village and country ... , i _.,. j „i !.»,_. , , -.. ^ .. • I windbreak was planted along the donated 40.00 for the 'mportant , ^j^,^^^^ ^^^ ^^^^ Vandefeor work of canng for the welfare of g^^^^j ^ ^^^^^ ^^.^j ^,^^^ the blind.

CENTRAL LOCATION Our ccnvanlcnt location is readily •ee«Mlbl« by tht city's leading auto- nobllt and ttratt ear thoroughfares. Bates and MaddDcks !?4Avi FUNERAL CHAPEL j:Rd KI.4344 The largest block of land in Grey County under reforestation is situat- ed a short distance east of Durham near McWilliams CPR flag station ^•""^'J'"'"?. in Gleneig Township. There are S»00 acres in this one block. Near Markdale are another â- too acres, and altogether loOO acres have been planted, or the ground being prepared for further planting., rierliert .A.tikinson lives on the Gienelg farm and is the caretaker for the whole area. The trees are of different ages, I'he first planting was ilone in 1;>2S and except for a few years durinv the war has been increasetl every year. The Game and Fisheries Depart- ment of Lands and Forests, thus giving protection to wild life within the county's acreage. Many streams run through the reforested lands and as the trees ,row larger, will afford an ideal place for the speckled trout, which abound in the district, to mul- tiply. There are a great niunber of farm- ers who have been gra<iiialy plant- ing their hills and waste lands with trees and they provide a pietty pic- "aiv. for motorists as they go along .ho township roads. Tile plantings on the Dr. D. B. Jameson reserve began in 1'.'20. The uuimd is soft with the needles that litave faikn ihroiigitout the years. The trees were planted closely in rows to make them fig^it to reach the sunshine, and thus make them grow .-li.iig*t, new e.Nclude the sunshine from above. Even the birds do not rest in these trees and the silence and twilight as one walks through the forest is not soon forgotten. The sound of a trout stream tumbling over a little falls can be heard as a dear space is app- roached. Ui>on mounting a sharp rise a pan orama of the forest of trees present' ing varying shades of green >»n be seen, rising and falling through the depi-essions and humimock's over which the trees were planted by the late Dr. Da%id Jeunieson. as he per- sonally supervised all the plantings. He bad a vision of those trees as liuV >v.->a!d be 50 years hence and though knowing he would never live to see them grow to a great size. The planting of the 400-acre plot of waste. land and its beauty lou.y is what !e.s envisioned Z'l years ago. If more w«ste land had bee:' r«>- forested at that time, the flood potential lumber would meet a growing demand and owner would have pride in their undertaking, taking. Referring back to what is known as the Grey County Forest .it .McWilliams for some years past this has been headquarters for Christmas trees and they were sold by the thousands to buyers who trucked them to Toronto, Windsor and other points. The supply has been pretty well exhausted, we have been told and we have no knowledge whether the government intends the business. In any event, here is a wonderful chance for a young person to buy up some waste land, plant it out to the 'ight type of pine trees, and reap a harvest seven to eight years hence The Christmas tree companies cut their own trees and there .s a market of mp to 10,000 trees a year at prices ranging up to 50 cents each â€" not a bad income. fl it was a i-ad letter day in the hfrtory of the community. TTie event maiit- ed the inauguration of a ai-'W' refor- estation policy on the part of tfc* .\itemesia Council which purchasaA the land aUd fence, while members «f the local fai-m forum and the teacher and school children did the work. The planting started about 9 aJOk. and was undei- the supei-vision of John Jackson of Owen Sound, Zuae Forester for Grey and Bi-uce. i«h« spoke briefly, gave instructions to tne atiults, then to tiie children. abA then planted the first tree. Reer^e J. .A. Davis was also on 'nana to s«« the start of the project. The treas are planted six feet apart, with the sed cut back about two feet lU'tflNid each tree. .\s the ground was stasey all the work had to l>e done by bai>^ and everyone, including the ehikk- ren worked like trojans, whidi is proven by the fact that a dozen mea one woman, the teacher, and -0 pupils planted 1500 trees and alm««t completeil 50 rods of wire fence during the day. In conversation witk your correspondent, Mr. Jackson stated that he never saw a group that entered with better spirit on any community project. "It was in this spirit," he added, "that makes a better community and a better world in general." At opportune times during the day Mr. Jackson explained to the group the value of reforestation; also the nature aad peculiarities of various kiiuis of trees, methods of plantng. e»e. It was a real worth-while com- munity effort, which should prove of value as years go by, as snow drift- ing has always been bad along the road at this place. It is hoped that it is the start of many other similar projects. The Farm Forum, which starld the ball rolling, is to be congratulated. Tliey wish to thank all those who worked so hard to bring this project into being, A few of the faithful gathered on Tuesday morning and complete-,! the work. < CARDS OF THANKS We would like to express our ap- preciation and thanks for the lovely set of dishes presented to us by the neighbors and other friends and also fer the many kind ^vishes extended. â€" .Tack and Donna .-Vdams.
