Editor EDITORIAL NOTES ! Get ready to turn over a new leaf. • • • Just four days to Christmas. Have you completed your holiday shopping? Flesherton merchants are ready tc serve you â€" even at the eleventh hour • • • The Scotch have two more holiday celebrations to come this yearâ€" Christmas and Hogmanay. Out friends always like to have jjood measures. • « • , An item has appeared in several oi OUT exchanges in regard to the |4,- POO surplus Flesherton enjoys this year, with the addc-d phrase "aftei considerable street work has been done." This is not accurate as only f86.81 was spent on the villagt streets in I'.Ci;!, along with-|26 for enow plowing. • • • Grey County has been blessed thii year with a high class county road committee and a competent road sup- erintendent that has saved the tax- payers thousands of dollars. Figures were produced in the superintendent's report to the County Council to show that nearly |100,000 has been spent Jjy the county for new maehingj" ^or its upkeen »â-  • \i^ C.R.C.T., the broadcast is so inter- mingled with nearby stations that their attempt is useless. C.F.K.B. is the only Canadian station with enough iK>wer to bring programs .learly to i-esidents in this stsctioa ot the province. More power will have lo be used at C.R.C.T. to bring the programs through the air and until then we will be unable to enjoy tht ("anaiiian prcjirama through the liadio Commission's station. • * • During the past week the senior mcmlbers of The Advance staff were confined to their beds nursing colds, and the job of turning out last week's paper fell to the lot of the junior member of the staff, in printing par- ley â€" the devil. It came out On time catching all mails, and everyone wat happy to have his copy as usual. lU did a real good job of it, too, didn't he? We think so. But it took him several hours of overtime to accom- plish it, owing to his inexperience and interruptions in office work. He didn't mind the interruptions in the least, naturally, when there were subscriptions to be received and ad- vertisements to be taken in. Per- severance, however, brought him out on top, and with the aid of Bob Phil- lips on Wednesday the task was com- l)leted. A friend in deed is a friend indeed. Now that the two senioi members are back on. the job theii (letter halves claim that holidays are due them on account of acting as nurses during the lay up of their necessary nuisances.

This year the committee purchased two new power road grad- ers and a large sum of money was eaved in expenditures on road dragg ing; and also more money was saved on the gravelling of the county roads pnd the crushing of stone supplied foi Sthe roads. It is very pleasing to know that the efforts of the cora- jnittec in attemptang to save tht taxpayer money has been productive of such good results and we think that it would be the hight of economy to have the present road committee re-appointed at the January session. * • • An excellent exhortation appeared in a recent edition of the Toronto Star, but unfortunately it cannot be followed as the Canadian Radio Com- rnission has made such a fiasco in its changing of stations. The radio e<iitor of the Star was enlarging on 8ome of the fine programs available this week to radio listcnei-s and urged them as follows: "Why not, for a change, tune in to Canadian programs and see if they aren't improving.'' |We have no doubt that one hundred |)er cent, of Canadian radio owners would be plea.sed to follow the sage advice advanced if it were possible to do 80, but when they have time in the evening to tune in to the Toronto Outlet of the Commission, station Green feeds for poultry in wintei are available in the- dried form &t leaves and plants. Grains alone, re unable for various i-easons, to jpport normal growth in poultry, ?gardless of the variety and com- bination of seeds used. This has been shown to be due mainly to two cau.ses, namely, the fact that cereals are relatively deficient in minerals and vitamins. Green feeds by which is meant chiefly the green leafy parts of plants, supplement the deficiencies of cereals in that they are high in vitamins and mineral content. Thin leaved plants are relatively greater in food value than thick leaved ones, particularly in so far as their ability to supplement grains is concerned. KEEP A RECORD OF YOUR FARM BUSINESS Present economic] conditions cml- phasize the importance of keeping a record of the farm business. No improvement in management can be made unless the essential facts are known. The farm account book, properly kept and studied; will bring out the facts and indicate the necess- ary changes in management. The New Year is a good time to start keeping records, so, do it now, (Dundalk Herald) When the railways put on an excur- sion from Toronto to outside points, to their own loss, they never adver- tise the event in the weekly papers. Thiii is a mistake. We have talked to .several city residents who would have been pleased to take advantage of such excursions if they had but known of them. Many of these in- dividuals get the weekly paper from home, and numerous others would have been notified of the cheap fares by parents or friends seeing the ad- vertisements in the local papers. Through lack of foresight on the part of executives of large concerns in regard to the importance of adver- tising in weekly papers, considerable revenue t'ails to come their way. In its field the small weekly plays a very important part and, besides, there are many city residents who keep in toush with "home, sweet home" through the medium of the local paper. The railways and other concerns could use this advertising more and to their own advantage. COMPARED TO LUNATIC (Alliston Herald) There is ground for complaint a gainst penalties meted out to drunken automobile drivers. Some one has compared the drunken driver to a lunatic, with a loaded revolver and the comparison is not overdrawn. iWere the police to apprehend the lunatic they would quickly confiscate the re volver. As the law stands the car cannot be confiscated; the most the magistrate can do is to suspend the driver's license which is done in some cases for a period of a month, or two or three, and in one case recently for two years. Were the law changed to enable the police to confiscate the car there would undoubtedly be fewer drunken drivers hailed into court.

(Midland Free Press) Election time is once more draw- ing dangerously near, and one is re- minded of the tendency of the electors during the "depression years" to turn out nearly all the old members, and re-elect an almost entirely new Coun- cil. It i« not a good practice. Even where there may be reasons for feel- irg that the present members could l>e improved upon, it should be i-e- membered that experience is worth a great deal in municipal affairs. A man who has served a year or twc is worth more on any civic body than one who is new to it all, and in these trying times especially, the town needs men who know what they arc doing. A certain amount of new memibers are advisable, but the elect- ors .should not be too drastic in re- jecting men who already are m of- fice and are willing to serve the muni- cipality for another term. Osprey Coincil The Osprey municipal council met in Maxwell on Friday, December 15, for the final meeting of the year with all the members present.

LOST HIS ROLL RIDICULING RELIGION NOT SMART NOR CLEVER (Oshawa Times) As wa.s, pferhaps, to be expected, tht Oxford Group Movement is coming in for a goodly .share of ridicule and criticism in certain quarters. There are those who simply cannof believe in the sincerity of others in their pro- fessions of religion and of Christian I'aith. And so they believe it is fither clever or smart to endeavoi to hold the followers of religious niovemerits up to ridicule. Such an attitude, however, is neither clevei nor smart. Nor is it in good taste .Ml people are entitled to their own methods of religious expression. And because some individual happens to di.sagree with them, that is no valid reason why they should be subjected I'-) ridicule and attack. After all those in the Oxford Grouji who are being subjected to the same treatment as was their Master when he walked on earth, to the same kind of treat- ment as was meted out to early Christian leaders by the pagan world of their day. To walk in such com- pany is the greatest privilege of an> true Christian. One day recently a Mono farmer dropped a roll of bank bills while he was in Orangeville. He advertised his loss in last week's Banner. Archie Young, car mechanic in Bryan's gar- age, picked" up a roll of bills con- taining $62 in the yard adjoining Hewson's blacksmith shop. Noticing the advertisement, Mr. Young noti- fied The Banner of his find and we transmitted the information to the farmer, who journeyed to town on Tuesday and was handed the $62 by the honest finder. Strange to say. hi-s loss induded three $20 bank bills in addition to the $62 recovered. These he is still endeavoring to lo- cate. The money was all in one roll when he dropped it, but the missing bills must have been blown off and scattered by the wind. â€" Orangeville Banner. Dehorned Cattle Give Heavy Loss W. Guthrie, farmer near Paris, re- cently lost 17 head of cattle which bled to death after being dehorned and the owner claimed were valued at $500. As a rule cattle bled for only an hour after the operation and were all rig^t, said Mr. Guthrie. Every precaution was taken to in- sure the success of thfe operation and a string was tied tightly around the horns and every effort made to stop the bleeding, but to no avail. One animal had only a quarter of an inch taken off but suffered the same fate. The operation was per- formed by a drover, who had never lost an animal before. Dehorning cattle is done only as a safeguard to avoid injury to animals in shipping and Mr. Guthrie admitted that it was a cruel practice. The cattle had been fed sweet clover en- silage, which tend« to make the bleod thin, it is said, and this is given as a reason for the continued bleeding ar.d loss of the cattle. â€" Meaford Ex- press. PREPARING SHEEP PELTS The following directions for pre- paring lamb or sheep pelts should be useful to farmers in dreseinsr vcA dressing and cutting lamb carcasses: â€" spread the pelt out flat and evenly. with the wool side down. Take i pound to a pound and a half of coane salt and sprinkle it evenly over the pelt, exercising special care with the ^ead and legs. Allow the pelt tf remain in this position for at least twenty-four hours. The pelt may then be rolled, turning in the legg and sides lengrthwise. Brin^r tht head to about the point of the shoudd- er and the tail aiid rump to the centra oi the back, and roll both end», mak. ing a tight compact pelt. Tie secure- ly with strong cord and store in > dry, cool place.
