Enterprise and tells of the arrival there of a relief car sent by the people of this district a couple of weeks ago: Contents of two relief care were dis- tributed to needy families in Rouleau and surrounding portion of the rural municipality of Redtjurn on Friday and Saturday. One car. sent to Rou- leau from Flesherton, Ont., as volun- tary relief, contained a variety of vegetables and fruits as well as small quantities of home-canned goods, clothing, papers, magazines and even a few packages of cigarettes and a number of chocolate bars. The sec- ond car, brought in as a measure of government relief, contained 450 sacks of potatoes. Both cars arrived last Thursday at noon, but no distribution was made from them until the following morn- ing. Thursday afternoon, the con- tents of the mixed car from Flesher- ton were removed from the car to the basement of the town hall from where the goods were alotted to the recip- ients by a committee. Potatoes were distributed direct from the govern- ment car under the direction of the same committee. At the town hall a system was put in operation by which the family re- presentative first obtained a written order from the acting clerk, Mrs. J. K. Tutt, and then handed it to one of the members of the committee who, with the aid of volunteer helpers, gathered the vegetables and fi-uits called for. Distribution was made on the basis of one sack of potatoes, one-quarter sack of turnips, three pounds of apples, two pounds of carrots, one pumpkin, one squash, one citron and a small I quantity of cabbage and cucumbers ] for each member of each family. From j the government car on the track pota- j toes were allotted on the basis of one j sack for each person in each family. I One hundred and sixty families em- | bracing a total of 713 dependents re- , ceived benefit from the cars. I For the home-canned fruits, vege- i tables and pickles, pints of maple ; syrup, a few pounds of tea. and a few jars of home-made jams and jellies, a free lottery was run. .\ll jars were numbered and each family allowed to draw a duplicate number which en- titled that family to the jar or parcel bearing that number. One lady, when her turn came reached forth a hand that shook slishtly and remarked with a half- smile on her face, "I hope it's a jar of those crabapples. I remember how we used to put them up back home in Ontario. They're wonderful. I have- n't tasted anything like them since we came west." Her ticket did entitle her to a jar of home-canned crab- apples. Notes and letters from the people of Flesherton and district wishinir their new-found western friends mori. and better luck "next year" were found in the sacks of fruits and vege- tables. Some requested that replies be returned by personal letters. Efforts will be made by the distribu- tion committee to have every com- mnnication answered. Some of the notes were scribbled on labels on tho <acks with the result that the names of the donors became obliterated in transit. One bundle of letters was foum' from school children in the Flesherton district addressed to school childrv •n the Rmilen«j^disrrict. These have been distributed to several of the rura' schools around Rouleau, and some handed to the public school teachers in Rouleau, with the request that re- \i\ acclamation was given Hon. Eari Rowe, Ontario Consei-vative loader, on Monday of last week, when no oppon- ent had been named to oppose him for the vacant Diitferin-Simcoe seat when nominations closed. The Lib- eral party had previously decided not to oppose Mr. Rowe, but the C.C.F. element in CoUingwood and Orange- ville considered entering a candidate to test their strength. Mr. Rowe's acclamation makes t.ho House standing as follows : Liberals, 178: Conservatives, 39; Social Credit. 17; others, 10, and vacant. 1 â€" total 245. The vacancy is in Victoria. B.C.
