^l)je trlixn %ht^mu^ VOL. 56; NO. 4 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1936 W. H. THURSTON & SON, Proprietors •^r. *%H V y. ^- X Home After 19 Years Mr. and Mrs. Victor Phillips, Mr. and Mrs. H. Peskett and daughter. Roberta Jean, of Dauphin Man., spent a few days the past week visiting relatives here. They had motored east to attend the wedding of Mildred, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Phillips of Hamilton, and Mr. John Paichney, which took place early in June. On the return trip they in- tend to visit the quintuplets while on the northern motor route. The last visit Victor made to the old town was when he was invalided home from overseas in 1917. .\t present he is conducting an apiary at Dauphin and is also engaged in t'a'i bee supply bus- iness. Centre Grey W. I. Elects Officers Over two hundred delegates, re- presenting twenty-two branches, at- tended the annual meeting of Centre Grey Women's Institute held at Dun- dalk last Friday. Mrs. W. Swanton of Markdale presided. Miss Derwin spoke on "girls work." while Miss S. Lister addressed the afternoon assem- bly on "program planning." Mrs. Fred Pluss of Clarksburg gave a short ad- dress on temperance urging that the electors be given an opportunity of voting on the beer room question as a separate issue from politics. JThe meeting passed a resolution to this affect. New officers were elected as fol- lows: President, Mrs. Fred Stafford, Williamsf orjj ; Vice-President, Mrs.' F: Fell, Hopeville; Mrs. G. E. Wright Qarksburg; Mrs. James Dargavel, Flesherton; Mrs. R. N. White, Mea- ford; Secretary, Mrs. W. A. Hawken, Flesherton; representative to county convention, Mrs. F. Stafford, Will- iamsford; representative to Federa- tion, Mrs. W. Swanton, Markdale, and Mrs. F. Stafford, Williamsford. Next year's meeting will be held at New England near Markdale. House of Commons Repeals Section 98 The last week is the best week of the whole session. No one could charge the members with duiness or boredom this week, they kept alert and interested even through long ait- tings and humid atmosphere. It was encouraging. Something might come of this Parliament yet â€" who knows 7 Mr. Pouliot, the obstreperous mem- ber for FTemiscouata, got in very wrong with Mr. Cahan by refering to him as a "White Russian." The massive and venerable Montreal mem- ber said he would rather leave the House than put up with the taunts of Mr. Pouliot. If the Speaker cannot keep him in order, then Mr. Cahan says he will apply physical force out- side the House. If he carries out his threat I venture to say it will empty the House more competely than the broadcasting of the Louis-Schmeling fight did! An Interesting Caller ROCK MILL'S LADIES' AID The June meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Sam Shier on Wednes- d»y ♦>he 17th. Twelve members and two visitors were present. The meet- ing opened by reading the 24th chap- ter of St. Luke. "Take the name of Jesus with you," was sung, followed by the Lord's Prayer. C/ollection a- mounted to $6.72. It was decided to postpone the garden party until later. The meeting closed by singing, "There is Life for a look at the Crucified One," after which lunch was served. ENGAGEMENT Mr. and Mrs. R. G.

USED FURNITURE Hirry Thornbury | R.R. 1 SINGHAMPTON, Ont. The Liberal government have once more moved for the removal of Sec- tion 98 from the Criminal Code. Quite sensibly Mr. Lapointe argued that it did not prevent communists anyhow, and said "Laws that are not favoured by public do not achieve any good. Cim Buck served a prison sentence because he was a communist, but he was still one when he was released after serving half his sentence, and has since held large meetings in the cities and run for parliament in Win- nipeg. Mr. Lapointe claimed the section was left-over of war time hysteria, that no other country imposed a max- imum of twenty years imprisonment for such offences. Mr. Bennett was more alarmed about the com- munist menace and offered to take Mr. Lapointe through the city of Ot- tawa to show him where communist activities flourished. I cannot think of a more amusing scene than these two distinguished and prosperous - looking Parliamentarians going about in dark and narrow streets looking for communists. We are to be de- prived of the entertainment however, because the invitation was not accept- ed. Although Section 98 was eliminated, the new amendments stiffen the sec- tions dealing with sedition. In this connection Mr. Woodsworth pointed out that a hundred years ago in On tario an agitator, an immigrant by the name of William Lyon Mackenzie, published a paper that had very harsh things to say about the Government. He later led a revolt. The Woods- worths of that day stood with Eger- ton agrainst the rebel, and here Mr. Lapointe interjected: "Shame!" How- ever this did not prevent J. S. Woods- worth from telling the House that he trea-^sured his grandfather's sword "with which he joined some of the loyal citizens who were armed in 1837 to keep Mr. William Lyon Mackenzie in order." Mr. Bennett commented: "His descendant is not doing badly in that regard." followed by a hearty "Hear, hear," from Mr. Lapointe. WTiat a difference a hundred years make! Mr. Robert Plantt of Eugenia called on The Advance last Thursday and in- trigued us with his reminiscences of bygone years. Mr. Plantt is now 82 years of age and has lived in this township since early youth. For fourteen years he held the office of County Constable for Grey County and is able to reminisce very enter- tainingly on the law as it was ad- ministered a few years ago. For in- stance he had 58 cases before James McMullen, J P., under the Lord's Day .A.ct and only lost one of them. Most of these cases were for Sunday fish- ing in the Hydro pond shortly after it was made. This old veteran of- ficial says that things are now much different, and everything is at loose ends. Three weeks ago last Sunday he counted 55 men and women "roost- ing" on the Hydro dam at Eugenia with fishing poles in their hands. And this goes on while our chui-chee ars largely deserted. It is a dark pic- ture. Who dare say it is improve- ment on the older days when the pioneers kept sacred the injunction to "remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." The solid christian qualities of our forefathers are be- coming forgotten and replaced by â€" What? Late Matthew Leech Flesherton Old Boys ' Quebec Dealer Won Mathew Henry Brownrich Leech, 75 years of age passed away at his home at Kindersley, Saskatchewan, Wednesday, June 10th, after a brief illnes.s.

He was sentenced to two months in jail. The charge followed a search of the premises by Constables Cooke of Flesherton and Seibert of Meaford on June 10th, when nine 40 ounce bottles of spirits and 36 bottles of beer were seized. The judges of the Supreme Court in their scarlet and ermine, faced a crowded Court when Mr. Chief Jus- tice Duff read their judgment on the many pieces of legislation submitted to them for their opinion as to val- idity. The Mackenzie King govern- ment very shortly after the election last fall referr^ the major reforms of Mr. Bennett's government to the Supreme Court. Then, which seems odd to the unintiated.

S X X I take your choice at $2.00 i Mrs. Wm. Miller I FLESHERTON ONT.VRIO I When a tire of your car blows out when you are going at a good speed what should you do. Would yoo rather have a front or a back tire blow out, if you must have one or the other do so? The Canadian Motorist has investi- gated these questions and quotes the testimony of two racing drivers. Tom- my Milton and Pete De Paolo, both with driving records. When a tire blows, be it a front or a back tire, Mr. Milton states that most drivers are very prone to over- »te«r and when thev do it is very easy to overturn- the car. Every- body does a lot of frantic and un- necessary steering and use brakes to their own inAu'y. He ithinks he would rather blow a rear tire than a front. This opinion most motorists will ac- cept, agrees the Star Weekly. Mr. De Paolo considers that front tire blowout is more hazardous than a rear, and that one's best tires should be on the front wheels. When a blow-out occurs, he says the noise of it excites the driver, but he should rest content with firming his grip on the wheel, and if he applies the brakes he should do so very, very gently. The editor of the Motorist recalls that Malcolm Campbell, the greatest of racers, having a blowout, did not use his brakes, but held his course, until he could reduce his speed, and in a skid he steps on the accelera- tor to bring him out of it. All such performances are, perhaps, beyond the skill of ordinary drivers. But it is no doubt true that the habit of using the brakes whenever a dri- ver is startled causes many accidents. give I unto Thee."

Newspapermen are required in their work to attend a great many meetings of various bodies â€" cily coun- cils, council committees, school boards, hospital boards, service clubs, frater- nal societies, women's organizations â€"in fact every organization of any note is bound to have a reporter at one of its gatherings .-oine time or another. In these meetings there is one thing which every reporter expectsâ€" that much of the time to be spent covering the meeting will be wasted. Discus- sion on trivialities will occupy hours, while important questions will be set- tled in a matter of minutes. Some t>ersoiis will commence an oration on his pet ambition or pet peeve and the thing is started. It goes on and on, until the subject is talked out, and that sometimes takes hours. Greatly at fault in moat cases are lax chairmen who permit useless talk to drag on and on. But then there are others, the men and women who ,vin a reporters admiration by limit- ing talk on trivial matters to a min- imum. Unfortunately they are few ind far between. It isn't only reporters who become bored at long winded speeches about nothing. Men and women who might some day be eligible for offices m var. ious organizations come to a few meetaigs and then stay away. Some- time Or another they are asked to take office or work on a committee, and they think: "Why should I waste my time listening to those windbags?" and often capable workers are lost. No single organization can be pick- ed out for censure in this matter. All are offenders at some time, and when their meetings become long, dull gab- feats, then interest begins to wane and the first thing they know they have failed out of existence. Long-winded oratory doesn't very often help a situatioi, and it kills In- terest in what otherwise might be popular organizations. Work can be done just as efficiently with less talk. Durham defeated Flesherton 13 â€" 5 in the second clash of the baseball season, and the first game of the schedule played at the agricultural grounds, Flesherton, on Thursday of last week. Durham were able to g«t an overwhelming lead on the home boys in the first three innings with 13 runs being made to Fesher- ton's 0, 5 in the 1st and 2nd innings and 3 in the 3rd, but Flesherton de- cided it was time to get down to brass tacks and smartly stopped the run- away Durham team and held them down to a runless 4 innings, while Fesherton were able to bring in 5 runs, three in the 4th inning, by Phil- lips. M,cTavish and Hutton. one in the 6th by McTavish and another in the "th by Mclvillop, McKillop making a home run on a line drive over the right field fence, but the umpire de- cided that 2 bases were plenty for him. Dargavel taking the pitchers box ill the 3rd inning and Hutton replaced McFa<lden as catcher, play- ed a wonderful game and were ehief- Iv instrumental in the no run four innings on Durham.
