THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY, 15, 1988 Uusual Pomp and Ceremony At Opening of Ontario Legislature Salute of 15 Guns For New Lieutenant-Governor Sessioa Promises To Be A Fairly Active One With all time-honored ceremony and color, the fourth session of On- tario's Eighteenth Legi-slature will be opened this .Wednesday, at three o'clock, by the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province, His Honor Dr. Her- bert A. Bvuj<^. The Henry Government has indi- cated through press and platform that there is no likelihood of an ear\ly provincial election. Opposition critics say that the session of Parliament at hand is the last before the present governmental administration appeals to the country. Only time can tell. Everything is ready for the open- ing. The Legislative Chamber has been completeHy renovated: the tem- porary seating accommodation for the usual crush of notables has been in place for days: and the staff of pages who will" be in attendance during en- tire sessional period have been quietly groomed for their jobs for several days now. Demand for tickets â€" for all four galleries â€" has been unusually large. The Lieutenant-Governor, who will grace the Legislature throne Wednes- day for the fr-rst time, will be at- tended by Col. H. M. Hilchie, his ne» personal aide, and will have an es- cort of Royal Canadian Dragoons, un- der command of Lieutenant Ardagh. At the parliament Buildings steps he will inspect a guard of honor from the Royal Canadian Regiment, under Major Neii'son, and then will proceed indoors in company with Premiei George S. Henry. The customary sa- lute of 15 guns will be fired by fielo artillery stationed on the north side of the buildings. The session promises to be a fairly bctive one, although legislation is being kept down to the minimum and nothing in the way of new taxation is so far hinted. Col. Alexander Fraser, former per- sonal" aide to the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province, wia stand by to- morrow and watch Col. Hilchie per- form the ceremonial duties which were his lot for so many years. Hon. Edward A. Duniop. Provincial Treasurer, will not be able to attend the opening' because of illness. THE DEBT SITUATION A school boy's explanation of the world debt situation. Supposin' there were only 1200 turnips in the world. A farmer living two and a half miles from Fergus has 800 of them. Farm- ers at Meaford, Chesley and Duntroon owed the Fergus farmer 2400 turnips, but had among them only the remain ing 400 in the world. Yet the Fergus farmer insists on being paid in turn- ips. He won't take potatoes, onions clover seed or even hogs. He won't let his turnips grow seed 30 that the other farmers can gi'ow more turnips. How is he going to be paid? That Fergus farmer is the United States. (When it is gold instead of turnips everybody gets muddled up. Pass up head! MRS. WOLSTENCROFT LOSES HER BROTHER BORN McLEAN â€" At Durham hospital on Sunday, February 12, 1933, to Mr. and Mrs. Alex. McLean, Priceville, a son. If you did not feel the depression before, the new taxes will remind one that it costs a great amount of money t\) keep a country going â€" up or down. Mrs. (Rev.) J. R. Wolstencroft left on Monday morning to attend the funeral of her brother, Mr. Wm. Mc- Murray, who died at his home in Detroit on Friday morning at the age of 47 years. Death was the result of a stroke. The late Mr. McMurray was born at Sheibume. Besides his widow and one son he leaves to mourn one brother and one sister, Mr. Jas. McMurray of Owen Sound and Mrs. Wolstencroft ot Flesherton. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon. 19 Below Zero Was Weather Last Week Despite Drifting Roads Are Still Open For Traffic When Large Plow Went Through Out of the west came sub-zero weather on Wednesday of last week, when the temperature registered 8 bei'ow at 7 p.m. Thursday morning the thermometers registered 14 below and on Friday morni'.ig the lowest was reached with 19 below zero. The cold weather was accompanied by high winds and considera^jle snow that filled the highways making mot- or traffic very difficult. Early Sat urclay morning a provincial snow plow came through and opened the highway, but the high wind soon pil- ed more drifts, although cars could run, though with difficulty. Late Sunday night the plow returned, al- lowing a couple of large transports and quite a number of cars, which were snow bound, to follow through. •Along with the cold weather came the problem of frozen water systems in almost every home in the village and bi'ow-torches were worked over- time in thawing out pipes. Friday afternoon the intense cold commenced to moderate and Monday was a beautiful balmy day, causing the snow to melt in protected spots The weather was the severest ex- perienced in two years. Sooth Grey Retains Identity In Ontario Many Seats Cut Out, Others Are Added â€" 22 Seats Less School Grants Are Cut Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Minister ol Agriculture, in addressing the an- nual meeting of the Dual-Purpost Shorthorn Club, urged the members to study feeding and bi'ood lines, in order to increase the butter-fat pro- duction of dual-purpose herds in the province. The members reported brisk bidding and good prices at the various sales held during 1932.

ADMISSION Adults 15e, Public School children 10c Dobson â€" Williams A quiet wedding was solemnized at the parsonage, Maxwell, on Saturday, Feb. 11th, 1933, at 3 o'clock, -when Miss Mabei' Olive Williams, daughter of Mrs. Beecroft and the late Mr. James Williams, of the 10th line, Artemesia, was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Mr. Joshua Dobson, son of Mrs. and the late Mr. John Dobson, of the 12th line, Osprey, Rev.

After the wedding ceremony the bridal couple drove to the homt of the bride's mother, where a sump- tuous wedding repast was served to the immediate relatives, the table being centred with a delicious wedding cake.

We join in extending our heartiest congratula- tions to them and hope they may enjoy many happy and prosperous years ol wedded life. Charity covers a multitude of sins but up in Sturgeon Fall's it hasn't successfully covered a multitude oi crooked transactions in relief eliarges. CHEVROtET I GENE I MOTORS I PRODUCTS ^M^Ki^M: mmOilT PIONEERED liillOWPRICED SIX Premier Henry last week turned the official light on the redistribution bill to be presented shortly to the Ontario Legislature. Premier Henry admitted that the Government would press for a cut of 22 seats from the present House membership of 112. Toronto wili lose three seats, Hamil- ton and Ottawa one each and Premier Henry intimated that all sections of the province would feel the effects of the redistribution axe. The mini- mum population of an electoral dis- trict will be set at 25,000; in the cities the basis will be .'JO,000 or over. A 20 per cent, cut in all depart- mental expenditures. Premier Henry further announced, was the aim for this year of the pro'" al budgeting committee at Queen's lark. To at tain that objective, he said, would mean a greater than 20 per cent. ,3lash in some items. Last year, the ordinary expenditure of the province had been some $55,000,000, inclusive of indirect relief charges, and ap- proximately $16,000,000 in provincial debt interest. That 16,000,000, he said, was a fixed charge and could not be reduced. In all other items â€" "all along the line," as he put it â€" the budgeting committee was cutting to the bone, taking care wherever they recommended their reductions that the I'ong-prided efficiency of var- ious services to the people would be affected as little as possible. As one illustration of department- al retrenchment, Premier Henry cited the 20 per cent, reduction that has been applied to all school grants with the exception of the academic high schools which are to be cut ten per cent. With co-operation in this connection from the various school boards concerned, there need be no depreciation in the standards of edu- cation, he feft. D. J. Taylor, progressive of North Grey will have reduced boundaries in his constituency, while South Grey, represented by F. R. Oliver will lose some territory to the new Dufferin riding. Most of the ridings in On- tario figure in the shuffle, some being dropped and merged with other con- stituencies. Mitchell Hepburn, Lib- eral leader, will have all Elgin County in which to be elected in place of East Elgin. It is proposed to make a fifth York riding. Simcoe county with its three representaivcs, will likely be reduced to two with part of its territory going to one of the two Dufferin ridings. The changes are only proposed and the details and boundaries of each will be fixed later. Large Barn Burned South of Flesherton; Five Pigs Burned Typical .\inerican Propaganda A Cleveland manufacturer is auth- ority for the statement tnat "Great Britain will' in time bleed the United States 'hite and that the U.S. will soon be like a man possessing all the gold in the world sitting on a rock in the middle of the ocean." AVe fear this individual is looking through blue glasses. His pessimistic view of the question wili not be shared by either Great Britain or the United States. Great Britain never "bled" any nation white, but she has been compelled, against her will, to oc- casionally adopt drastic measures to piotcct herself against graft and greed. Inaplements, 5 Pigs and Crop Went Up In Flames Horse Kicked Lantern Mrs. Sarah Stewart Died At Mclniyre Death came quietly on Monday tc Mrs. Sarah Stewart of Osprey town- ship, after an. illness of several months at the age of 78 years.

A.s we were the ones responsible foi the deputation meeting the council concerning the -school rates, we would like to make the following statement. Wo merely asked the council about an equalization as we have been pay- ing 11 mills and the village 8 mills Mr. Bellamy, being present as clerk, is also secretary of the school board Assessor Boland was also present They immediately informed us tha' an equalization had taken place two years ago, which gave the village TCf and the rural district 30 per cent and this they claimed to be the propei equalization and that it was not nec- essary for an equalized assessment to have the -same rate, this we did not agree with. On a properly equalized assessment the rate will be the same, but on a .guessed at affair such as this one the rate will be different. From figures available this is how it stands: Total assessment $238,120, divided as follows: Village assessment .... $178,600 or 75 'r Rural assessment .... 59,520 or 25'r Total money raised $2082 Village $1428 or GS.oO'Tr rate 11 mills Rural' district $654 or 31.41"^ rate 11 mills ASSESSMENT AS IT SHOULD BE Village $1501 or 75":^^ rate 8.75 mills Rural district $521 or 25'~r rate 8.75 mills Can any one show us where we arc wrong or unjustified in our claim? ED LOUCKS. EMERSON WICKENS There was a ti-agic case i-eported from Peterborough. .41ma Mary Johnston of North Monaghan, a 17- year-old collegiate student, took her own life by using an old revolver and the reason is said to have been that her mother refused to allow liei to go out with a boy friend. Of course some may say that it is a question for Dorothy Dix to discuss, but actually it is a .problem which has arisen one time or another in a good many homes, and it has to do with boys just as well as girls. There is one school of thought which says "No, you cannot go out." It looks upon the girl or the boy of 17 as very young, still needing parental control and positive direction. We iear that when the definite 'Wo" policy has l^eea adopted thei-je jis danger of coming too close to the -ine where complete confidence be tween parent and child is going to be broken, and when that is done there is nothing much left to worl< on. It also creates an atmosphere where it i.s difficult to regain lost Fire completely destroyed a fine large bank barn owned by Mr. Gordon Long, I'i miles south of Flesherton, on Monday evening, caused by a horse kicking a lantern which was hanging from a beam in the horee stable. Five l-igs were burned to death, but Mr. Long was able to save the other stock, consisting of five horses, 5 cows, 1 calf and 4 pigs ready for market. Most of the implements and a buggy stored in the barn, were also destroyed by the fire. Fifteen tons of hay were stored in the barn, together with a <iuaniity of straw and about 450 bushels of grain, which was an entire loss. Part of the loss is covered by insurance. The barn was a substan- tial one 40x60 feet in size and was formerly owned by the late Wm. Sharp. The fire was caused by a horse kicking the lantern from its fastening when Mr. Long went into its stall to lift the horse's foot which it had plac- ed over the tie strap. It immediate- ly commenced to kick. The lantern was completely smashed when it fell, the burner coming off adowing the oil to run out and immediately taking fire. There w^as a burst of flame from the straw bedding and Mr. Long grabbed a fork and threw the straw and lantern outside, but as the first blast of flame reached the ceiling of the stable it went up through a man hole and caught on the straw in the mow. Mr. Long gave the alarm anu immediately commenced to take out the stock and also saved the hamees, except for the bridles. Mr. Geo Best, a neighbor, arrived in time to assist with the pigs. Mr. Long then made an attem^it to save the impi'ements in the top part of the barn, but wlien he opened the large doors he was met with a burst of flame and in an hour the structure was razed. It is a severe blow tc Mr. Long to lose so much at this time, especially with the money so hard to secure in which to rebuild. Neigh- bors have taken tiie stock, to house and feed until Mr. Long has decided what course he will pursue. ground. We hesitate to express an opinion regarding a case the particulars ol which are so meagre, and remarks made here are intended to have gen- eral application. In such a case it would have been much better had the girl of 17 been made to feel that she was at liberty to have her boyfriend or friends visit in her home. It is not an unusual thing at ali for girls of 17 to have boy friends; it has been going on in the world for years and will continue that way. The wise parent will encourage openness oi meeting, and by so doing will discour- age clandestine contact of sneaking out at night when opportunity pre- sents. While there are many factors that enter into the management of the poultry flock, there is nothing that will have greater influence on the poultry raiser's success or failure than the way in which he houses his flock. Birds of good breeding, no mattei how well fed, will not return maxi- mum profits unless well ho»-»ed. The poultry house is the hen's home, and to be comfortable and give good pro- duction, the house should have pro- ^ OWENSOUND, ONT. "^O f.
