THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDNESDAY. MAY 10, 1933 Ao hterestiog Relic A very intereating heirloom 101 years old is in the possession of Mr. F. W. Duncan of town. It ia a panel of needlework on linen worked by his grandmother, Mrs. Samuel Tur- ner, when she wa« a little girl of nine years of age. Her name, Lucy Wrighton Holmes and the date, March Fanners Should Have Names On Front Gates This is lot the first time that this has been proposed in this paper as weil as ^n many others. Unfortun- ately the farmers have not, except in a few cases, adopted the idea ot having their names printed on their mail box and front gate. We are <iuite convinced that if this was made 26, 1832, i.s worked in colored thread, | a general rule it would not only add along with many other characters and decorations and a motto at the top. It is in a wonderful state of preservation and Mr. Duncan has it framed in order to further presei-ve it. New Partnership A business deal took place in town last we*k wherein Mr. J. R. Richards has joined Mr, Alfred Down, Ford dealer, in partnership and the main corner garage will henceforth be known under the name of Down and Richards. Mr. Richards has been with Mr. Down for the past two years in charge of office and -sales and ia popular with the trade as a wfiole. We bespeak for the firm continued, future prosperity. Exam. Fees Lower Great joy is felt by parents of high school students over the announcement of the reduction of lower school ex- amination fees, which have been re- duced from $1.50 for each examina- tion paper to f 1.00. It was a great hardship for parents with several children in the school to pay the high rate on each paper written. The high school examinations finish this year on July 11th, considerably later than in previous years and no doubt the situdents, writing in the swelter- ing heat, will not think very much of the arrangements. Advertising is the oil that lubri- cates the maehinery of business. to the farm appearance but it would prove of inestimable value to strang- ers and others driving along the high- wayrs. Personally we know of no argument against it and if space permitted we could enumerate many advantages. But we will quote just one. X certain farmer had a horse to sell and we directed a buyer to his place. He being a stranger be- came confused and, although he passed the place', he failed to iden- tify it and the roads being rather bad, he never got there. It is a safe bet that the farmer was the loser. Business places in towns dis- play their names and nature of their business. Why not the farmer? A neatly printed name and also the farm name if one has been adopted would be attractive and identify the place, adding to its value. Even if these name signs had to be purchas- ed we wouldn't expect they would cost over twenty-five cents each. Along with many others, we -strongly urge farmers to adopt this suggestion. Grey Presbytery Is Against Sunday Selling flCrs. Geo. Phillips of Port Dover is visiting her grandmother in town, Mrs. McKee. THE UNKINDEST CUT All fees payable under the adminis- tration of Justice Act will be reduced 2Q7c immediately, Hon. W. H. Price Attorney-General annoimces. The reductions will affect Crown Attor- neys, Sheriffs, Clerks of the Peace and cour reportei-s. This action, says an exchange, is without doubt a result of the visit of the deputation from Grey County Council to the Attorney-General, who registered a protest against the excessive costs of administration of Justice in this County, most particularly in the fees charged by the Grown Attorney. â€" Mt.

HICKLING I I The May meeting of Grey Presby- tery of the United Church was held in .\nnesley church, Miarkd&le, on Tuesday of last week with sessions morning, afternoon and evening; the chairman, Rev. A. D. Comett, M..\. B.D., of Knox church, Owen Sound presiding at each session. The dsvo- tional address was delivered by Rev. S. E. Annis, M.A., B.D., of Grace church, Thornbury, and was based on our Lord's giving of thanks to his Father in that many things not reveal- ed to the wise and prudent were re- vealed to babes. His theme was that the religion of our Lord Jesus Christ wa.s more readily advanced by the warmed heart rather than by Lhe cold intellect. Mrs. E. C. Murray of Flesherton, President of the Grey Prc-sbyterial ot the Woman's Miissionary Society, ad- dressed the Presbytr-;- < the inter- ests of the organizaiic:; over which she so capably presides. Following her address was an address by Mr. Fred Lewis of Toronto in the interests I of the Ontario Prohibition Union. It is only occasionally tljac Presby- tery has a candidate for ordination, so it was \vith a great deal of interest that Mr. Wilfred Comett Lockhart, IM.A.', of Dundalk was heard as he stated some of the facts relating specifically to his call to the Christian ministry. Mr. Lockhart has had a xery successful course at Emmanuel College. He has First Class standing in Theology, and has won the Glenn Wilkins Memorial Scholarship, the Post-Graduate Fellowship of $750, and shares equally with another stud- ent the Michael Fawcett Prize in Oratory. Presbytery cordially re- commended Mr. Lockhart to the To- ronto Conference for Ordination in June. Scholarship above mentioned makes it possible for Mr. Lockhart to spend a year abroad in the study of Theologj' and he expects to spend the year at one of Scotland's celebrated Universities. The following ministers have asked for a change in Pastoral Relations, Dr. Smith of Meaf ord, J. W. Johnston of Kilsyth, S. Martin of Chatsworth. R. G. Halbert of Owen Sound, J. R. Wilkinson of Temple Hill and A. D. Comett of Owen Sound. Mr. Martin has accepted a call to the pastorate of Trinity United Church, Meaford, and Mr. Cornett has accepted a call to the United Church of Smith's Falls. Res- olutions of appreciation to him, and to alK the minister's who will be changing pastorates, were very cor- dially passed. Rev. W'. H. Smith presented certain matters regarding the Missionary and Maintenance Fund. Presbytery ad- opted the recommendations of his committee in regard to the use of a family meal thankoifering box, the holding of three group meetings, and that share in balancing the budget that is suggested for each pastoral charge. The report of the committee on Evangelism and Social Service recom- mended all our church leaders to ser- iously consider the gambling spirit in the House of Commons at Ottawa, of the bill to legalize sweepsakes in be- half of hospitals and charity i.nstitu- tions ar.d protested against the breach of the- Lord's Day Act by those who sell merchandise illegally in roadside stands and other places on the Lord's Day. Rev. S. Martin and Mr. John Mc- Quaker of Owen Sound were elected as the Presbytery nominees to Confer- ence as members of the Settlement Committee. It was arranged that the next regular meetings be held in Cen- tral United Church, Owen Sound, on Tuesday, September 19th. Presbytery adjourned to meet in Carlfon Street United Church on Fri- day, June 9. at an hour to be fixed by the Chairman. The ladies of he church generously provided a splendid dinner and supper and they, and the minister and otTic- ials of AnnesJoy. received the thanks of the court for* all the courtesies extended during its session. FIELD â€" John J. Field came to Flesherton in the early sixties, and was connected with "No. 6 Company' of the Grey Regiment from its earl- iest days. A cooper by trade, he helped build the patriotic sentiments that budded their richest in a wonder- ful record for the community during the Great War. His children William N., Joseph H., Mary A., John Wesley, James E., Elizabeth and Burton E Toronto is home to Wm. N., James E., Elizabeth and Burton E.; Joseph H. is village constable at home; and -Mary A. and John W. deceased in 1904 and 1905 respectively Burton E. Field â€" "Burt" is customs broker at 53 Yonge St., Toronto, and one of the moving spirits of the Flesherton Old Boys' and Girls' .Association, of which he has been the efficient secretary since its inception for the "Old Home Week" in 1929. His life partner is Rachel Spence, a Flesherton "Old Girl," this business deal being put Missionary Rally And Fellowship Gathering X Leaders' Fellowship and Group Gathering was held on Monday after- noon last in St. John's United church. Officials representing eleven Pastoral Charges of the southern part of the Presbytery of Grey, together with their ministers, listened with pleas- ure and profit to an address by Rev. S. W. Dean D.D., secretary of the Pension Fund of the United church, on the uses to which the Missionary and Maintenance Fund is put. Op- portunity was given for the asking of any questions pertaining to the man- agement and distribution of this Fund and it was very clearly pointed out that the utmost economy is practised in the matter. Possibly no other organization administers the amount of money handled by the Mission Boards of the United church at as small a cost for administration. An interesting item was the statement that since church union the United church had raised nearly ?22,000,000 for Missions.

Election of Officers of Prince Arthur Lodge The annual election of officers of Prince Arthur Lodge No. 333, A.F.& .•V.M.. was held at the regular meeting of the Lodge- on Friday evening, with the following being elected: W.M. â€" Bro.

The value of giving as an aid to worship was stressed. In the evening of the same day a Rally of all interested in the Mission- ary cause was held. Rev. A. E. Arm- strong. D.D., secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions, was the chief speaker. Dr. Armstrong gave a most informing lecture on the work of the church in India. He used slides to illustrate it, from pictures taken by himself on his last visit to that field. The-se were of an unusually beautiful character and stimulated interest in the work of the church in that far-off land, itself a part of the Empire. Rev. ,W. J. Scott opened the meet- ings and on behalf of the Official Board of his church extended a most hearty welcome. He then called on Rev. W. H. Smith of Durham, the chairman of the M. and M. Fund of the Grey Presbytery under whose auspices the meetings are being held, to say a few words and to introduce the speakers. At the evening meeting Miss Aleda Mitchell rendered a much appreciated solo and a male quartette composed of Messrs. Robertson, Murray, Cairns and Scott, with Mrs. Blackburn as accompanist, helped to make the pro- gram bright and attractive. All who attended were loud in their appreciation of the helpfulness of both meetings and felt that real en- couragement had been given to all Missionary effort. Similar gatherings are being held in Owen Sound on Tuesday and in Meaford on Wednesday for the other sections of the Presbytery of Grey.
