BLAKELEY - Merchant Tailor THE Flesherton Advance W. H. THURSTON, - Editor TRAQBDIE8 The air these days seems to be charged with tragedy. Drownings, fires, auto hold-us, and death in in- numerable ways fill the columns of our daily press. And not the least of these was the failure of the Home Bunk, unounccd last week. A bank failure in Canada is a tragedy of the worst kind, in that it leaves a trail of ruin in so many homes, if not to the depositors, then to the thousands of shareholders, who are called on to pay a double liability. The practical failure of two banks within the past two years has given our banking laws a sevene jolt below the belt. It has in the past been thought by the public at large that our system of inspec- tion and bank control made such things impossible, but these failures have made it clear that inspection and control are useless so far as the pub- lic ii concerned. No person outside the actual heads of these institutions ever knows when trouble is brewing until the crash comes, when it is to-> late to save anything. We might a.i well scrap the machinery, save big salaries and lot the banks manage their own affairs as they have been doing, regardless of government sup- ervision. The auto holdup question has also become one of vast importance. Something drastic will have to be done to curb these highwaymen if the world is to live in peace and security. Our present police control is utterly incapable of handling this class of criminal, a class of bandits by them- selves, who lay their plans like a headquarters staff on the field of battle, and arc amazingly successful in carrying off sums of money. In early days on this continent a man would be hanged for stealing a pig. We will probably have to revert to old-time- customs and hang a lot of the human vermin that infests this country before one can be sure that his life and property are safe. FISH, I'HKASANTS. DKKR Game Warden Eely of Owen Sound was in this vicinity last week looking into some alleged fishing in the hydro pond. We beleive his quest was not a \ sucesful one. Anonymous letti: have been sent the Depart- ment ' dming that a great amount of fisi. :.( was being done. As Mr. Eely himself says, it would be diffi- cult for twenty men to patrol and watch that 20-mile shore line. The Advance man is not a dwk hunter, but he would like to see that pond opened for duck shooting this fall. It is too bad that people hero ! not allowed any of this game. It is all preserved for the wealthy sports down at Point Peloe and other duck grounds on the fall migration. We would also like to see the pheasants lisposcd of and our native grouse substituted. The hatching and dis- tribution of grouse would be much more acceptable to everybody in this lisbrict. Whila talking on the subject of game we might say, too, that it would not be amiss if the Department would open the County of Grey to deer shooting for a few days this fall. This class of game is becoming quite plentiful in the townships of Proton, Mclancthon, Osprey and Collin<nvood, and a little thinning out would not injure the prospect for future deer production. EDITORIAL NOTES Thi! Farmer's Sun now has decided that it. wants Government House abolished, and hopes Mr. Ferguson will do it. We had hoped that Mr. other planks in his platform, he had not the moral courage to tackle it. It is scarcely likely that Mr. Ferg- uson will jump at tho Sun's suggest- ion, which does not bear the earmarks >f sincerity. <= * * * A woman in the States is the mlhority lhat in a few years women will rulo the world. We supposed hey did already. * * * * We. notice in an exchange the re- luett that a chanjyi in date be made n the Fall Pair announcements. All veil nad good, we'll be glad to. But n the same issue wo notice the paper n question hasn't given the date of 7 k'hurton Fall Fair. It is left out altogether. W.I. CONVENTION IN i FLESHERTON FRIDAY; INDIANS RUN FORDS Next Convention To Be Held At Ayton Mrs. H. Down New Pres, ^ , 414- ' " ' : "t*AI> ^W' ' The 17th Annual Convention of the Ontai io Women's Institute was held in Flc.iherton on Friday of last week, when some 20U delegates were pres- ent. The meeting opened by singing the National Anthem, followed with a scrip ure reading by Mrs. J. E. Knec':tel of Hanover. The address of welcome was given by y.rs. II. Down of Flesherton and replied to by Mrs. Leslie Elliott of Sprin Amount, who said that Flesher- ton was two steps ahead of all other Institutes in county conventions, hav- ing held them since 1907, and also that she felt quite at home in Flesh- erton, having at one time lived at Vandeleur. Mrs. Win. Rogers, the President, then gave a few remarks in vhich she said that Grey was the only County which had kept up its con- ventions, and that we have thirty thousand members, all looking to Ontario for example for homemaking. We do not need a mansion to make a home, one whose foundation is stone, its mother queen. We should teach our girls to be pure, the mothers of today are making the home and community. She compared the home and children to a nut the children the kernel, the shell their surround- ings. We have pur seventy-five thousand members in Federal work, the largest organization in the world. Some time was spent in discussion. North Grey gave large amounts to the northern Ontario fire district. During the discussion the following opinions were expressed: Parking of cars in unused streets and lanes, at late and all hours should be put a stop to, as they were a nuisance to the nearby residents; that the Pres., Vice- Pres. and Sec. should visit the House of Refuge, also that we have one wo- man on each school board. The following officers were elected for the coming year: T'res., Mrs. H. Down, Flesherton; Vice-Pres., Miss Jamieson, Hanover; Sec., Mrs. Gard- ner, Owen Sound. Afternoon Session Mrs. MofFat gave an address re the 0. S. .Shelter. She thought that as Owen Sound put up about i0 per cent, of the funds, that the County should take over the supporting of the Shelter. Miss Chapman, a representative of the Department of Women's Insti- tutes of Ontario, then adressed the ladies. She believed that neighbor- liness and kind acts helped build up a community. We should have contests for the boys and girls, giving the win- ners prizes. Home beautifying, plant- ing trees, etc., in the rural districts were needed; better medical care and nursing. Medical inspection of schools shows a decrease of from 150 to 65 per cent, of defective pupils. An address was given by Mrs. Moffat of Bognor, touching the work in North Grey in which she said, "Make the common things of life int- eresting. Success breeds interest and interest success." It was decided to hold the next con- vention at Ayton. Mrs: Todd stated that England and Wales had 180,000 members, who, with Scotland, now thought of linking up with the United States. We have to depend upon the youth of our land for the continuance of Institute work. We can go further than homemaking by having a Provincial body. She compared the spirit of the \V. I. with that of John Wesley: "Go forth and scatter abroad." We need a building up of home life and of co-operation in constructive work. We do not cultivate a virtue by holding it to our- selves. She then explained Federa- tion and its benefits. An address by Mrs. Halliday of Glen Kden entitled, "I will do my best," was warmly applauded. Mrs. Myles spoke on "The better edu( ition of rural children." Are the opportunities for cducat : m better tha.i :tO years ago? She t nought not anil it seemed to her that < nsoliilated sch. ols are best, were good enough for her and good enough fo,- her own. Th;. '. it would be better to uive oppor- tunity for education thai widening roa'ls already wide enougl:. and uutt- ing in wide culverts when- water had not the audacity to a pear. She would ha\ e school houses used as community centres; social activities ; ; rul travell- ing libraries. If it cost i -.ore to run consolidated schools the ,'rovernment should make up the amount. She also sUi'ed that we shoul dhav\ dental and metlbal inspection. Lunch was then served, farewells spoken and over two hundred dispers- ed to their various homes throughout the County. Indians with baskets to sell have , been a familiar sight on the streets | of Walkerton, says JJuj Telescope. F'of many year's the reornen and their squaws have come down from the Saugeen Reserve laden with great bundles, of their wares. But times have changed' Yesterday a brave from Saugeen brought down a big stock of baskets, but he rode in style in a Ford. The jitney was so stuck I up with baskets that you could seara- ' ely see the tin lizzie as it rattled > along:, but it carried more than half ! a dozen sqrnws could. The Indian looked happv, the new style of loco- motion appearing more to his likes than toting the whole works on his i shoulders. Verily, the world do move. Former Kimberley Resident Dies At Orangeville Voters' List, 1923 MUNICIPALITY OF OSPREY C'ounty of Grey Notice is hereby given that I have complied with Sec. 10 of the Voters' { Lists Act and that I have posted up i in my office, lot 16, con. 8, on the 18th | day of August, 1923, the list of all j persons entitled to vote in the said I municipality for members of Parlia- I mcnt or at Municipal Elections and j that such list remains there for in- I spection. And I hereby call upon all voters I to take immediate proceedings to have any errors or omissions cor- rected according to law. Dated this 18th day of Aug., 1923. J. A. KERNAHAN, acting Clerk Twp. of Osprey. i Mrs, Caroline Thurston Fawcett died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Andrew Wallace, Orangeville, on Thursday of last week, at the age of 78 years. Mrs. Fawcett was born in the town- ship of Trafalgar, her maiden name being Caroline Hall. When a young woman she married Philemon Thurs- ton, an uncle of the editor of thin paper. Mr. Thurston was a cooper by trade and began his business career at Grimsby. He later moved to Acton where he died. Some years later his widow married Alexander Fawcett of Kimberley. Last winter she was stricken with a cancerous illness and was taken to the home of her youngest daughter at Orangeville, where loving care did all it could to mitigate the pain. The deceased lady was of an ex- ceedingly kindly disposition and was beloved by all who knew her. She was was a lifelong member of the Method- ist church and active in all church work until illness prtvented. The remains were taken to Acton on Saturday for interment, where she was laid to rest beside her first hus- band and two children that died in infancy. The remaining children are: GeorgeFrederick of Vermont State, Mrs. Chown of Barrie and Mrs. Wallace of Orangeville. A band of murderers held up a roadhouse near Detroit and shot six I guests. They have notv been cap- tured, i Enduring Values trade-in price of a 1921 Ford is equal to the trade- in price of other 1921 cars which cost 30 to 50% more than the Ford when new. This is proof of the Ford quality and the guarantee that the purchase of a Ford is an investment as dis- tinquished from an expen- diture. H.
