One morning recently when Mr. Fred Plantt and family of the East Backline were prepaiing for break- fast the young son, Chester, called his parents' attention to what he thought was a large deer standing within two hundred feet of the house. On closer observance it was found to be an elk, apparently one of those which the government placed on the Bruce Peninsula two years ago. The elk was larger than an ordinary cow, of a deep cream color, with beautiful big antlers and seemed very tame. It stood and watched the family as they gathered outside to have a better view of it. Hoping to see it glide away, one of the family clapped his hands, but the elk turned leisurely away and ambled off without hurry and occasionally stopped to look back. As he came to fences which had been high enough during the summer to keep cattle back, he seemed to just step over them with very little effort. He took his way within a stone's throw of Mr. Jas. Linton's home and when last seen was leisurely heading northward. Flesherton Conncil Receives Acclamation For the sixth year in succession Flesherton Village Council was elect- ed by acclamation. The 1938 Coun- cil will compose: Reeve, H. A. Mc- Cauley; Councillors C. N. Richardson, J. O. Dargavel, A. Down and G. B. Welton. The three members of the Public School Board elected, also by acclamation, were Messrs. W. J. Bell- amy, Fred Brown and Wm. Turney. Geo. E. Banks was also returned to the Cemetery Commission for a three year term. When Mr. John Pedlar, chairman, called the meeting to order, following the nomination, only 12 ratepayers, including all ranks, were in attend- ance and some stragglers kept com- ing in, until there were 18 present when the National Anthem was sung. Reeve McCauley stated in his address that the 75 miles of new County high- ways, taken over at the November session, was the greatest bribery scheme ever put over the people. Since the County was in the red for the operation of the County highways this year the speaker did not know how they vrould finance the new sys- tem. He also stated that the rate- navers could look for a rise in thr cost of the operation of the higli school, as the new system would bear heavier on the municinalities in whicVi the school was situated. Messrs. Dargavel and Welton al.so gave an accounting of their divisions, the former having charge of the roads and the latter the park and fire equipment Miss Macphail Home (By Our Ceylon Corr.) Miss Macphail stated tnat she was amazed at the area covered by the mining industry at Timmins. The town of Timmins, the urea of which is no larger than Walkerton, supports a population of 25,000 people and there the housing situation is a ser- ious pi-oblem. She visited the fam- ous Hollinger mine, 3,800 feet below surface level, where it is a veritiible imvn in itself, with a total of 301) miles of underground railways at the different levels, accommodating the various activities of the machinery employed. The descent into the depth of the mine was made at the rate of 20 miles an hour. Miss Mac- phail plans on another visit to Timmins. Presentation On Tuesday evennig of last week the Toronto Line North neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Sled gathered at their home and spent a few social hours with the recent bride and groom, Mr. and Mrs. George Sled. Games and cards were played and dur- ing the course of the evening the young couple was presented with a beautiful pair of blankets, while the following address was rewl: Dear Marion and George: We, your former neighbors, have gathered to spend a social evening with you. Cfeorge, we have known you for a number of years and found you to be a good sport and a true friend. Mar- ion, you are a stranger to us, but we are hoping to know you better some- time iu the near future, and we con- gratulate George on his choice. At this time we ask you to accept these blankets as a token of remembrance and good wishes for a long and happy married life. We hope that they will prove u.seful in yotti' new home. A hearty invitation is extended to you both ' 1 come and visit us and keep old friendships renewed. Signed on behalf of your friends and neighbors, â€" Ethel Irwin, Evelyn Brown and 1. Brackenbury.

High School Notes Under the leadership of Miss Laura Pallett, physical instructess of the girls in Flesherton high school, a party was held in the school auditor- ium Tuesday afternoon to celebrate the arrival of the new uniforms for the physical training, which the girls will henceforth wear in their P. T. classes. The time was spent in games, inarches and relays and re- freshments were served during the course of the party. The girls are to be congratulated on the acquisition of their uniforms, for they will now be able to carry on a more intensive training for their greater physical development and for better health. From the standpoint of appearance of the class the uniforms are a decided improvement. Good work, girls! THE EDITOR AND HIS WIFE Scores of horseshoe pitchers compet- ed at the Royal Winter Fair where they endeavored to prove that the time snent plaving the eamp behind the vill- nce service station has not been wast- ed. - m' They apparently disagree matorlal- ly. She sets things to right and he writes things to set. She reads what others write, and he writes what oth- ers read. She keeps the devil out of the house to the best of her ability, while he retains him on all occasions and could not go to press without him. She knows more things than she writes and he writes more things than he knows. Annual Bazaar will be held in ST. JOHN'S UNITED CHURCH BASEMENT Saturday, Decetnber 4, 1937 Homemade Baking, Fancy Work.

HOT SUPPER SERVED commencing at 5.30 p.m. for 35c Veterans Organize A very en-joyable fowl supper was held in Flesherton town hall Thurs- (Jay of last week when about twenty returned men were present for the event. W. Turney acted as chairman for the event. Toasts were made by the following: to the King, A. E. Bell- amy; Fallen Comrades, Rev. Stanley Elliott; C.E.F., C. D.

McCauley and S. M. McLeod on the executive. The Literary meeting was held in the auditorium on Friday, Nov. 26th with 5th form in charge of the pro- gram and Geo. Loucks in the chair. Fifth form boys sang "The Song of the Volga Boatman", which was foll- owed by a very amusing play entitled, •"A Full House." All the characters took their pai'ts excellently. The high school paper was presented by the editor and it was a good attempt for the first issue and better ones are anticipated. A fair sprinkling of parents and friends enjoyed the pro- gram presented by the 5th form and should serve as an inspiration to the other forms, when they present their programs later in the year. Plains for Commencement are well under way. An outstanding speaker is promised and with the school talent j ihe evening should be an exccption- allv interesting one. Commencement ! will be held on December 21st. â€" Bill Jamieson, Editor Mrs. Achsah Corrigan (By Our Ceylon Corr.) Death removed one of Ceylon's well known citizens early Thursday morn- ing when Mrs. Achsah Corrigan passed away at her home here in her 80th year. The late Mrs. Corigan was the daughter of the late John Hazard and Lovina McKay and was born on what is now the Alcox farm at Orange Valley, later moving with her parents to this locality. Early Thursday morning she suffer- ed a stroke after a few weeks of severe suffering, passing away at an early hour. The late Mrs. Corrigan is survived by two children, Edgely, with whom she made her home, and Margaret (Mrs. Cooper) of Margo, Sask. She also leaves one brother, Albert Hazard, of Stone's Line, and one sister, Sarah L. (Mrs. Sewell) of Nelson, B.C. Her other brothers. Draper, Jarvis and William John pre- deceased her, as also did two sisters, "\I:u-y (Mrs. Bowers) and Elizabeth, who died some years ago. The funeral was held from her late residence on Monday afternoon and was largely attended by friends and neighbors. Rev. G. R. Service had charge of the sei-vice. Interment was made in Fle^erton cemetery. The pallbearers were: Messrs. J. Nichol, W. Gibson, F. Collinson, R. Purdy, I. B. Whittaker and G. Jaynes. The flowers were beautiful and bore silent testimony of the high e.-iteem in which deceased was held. They in- cluded a pillow from the son, spray from the daughter, an anchor froii Mrs. Sewell, her only sui-viving sister, and a spray from the Ceylon friends and neighbors. Sincere sympathy is expressed to the sorrowing family and relativee in their bereavement. Group Organized For Young Married Couples Hev. and Mrs. G. K. Service enter- ' lained a number of young married couples on Thursday evening, when a very enjoyable time was spent. Dur- ing the evening Mr. Service introduc- ed the subject of organizing a younff Married Couples' Group. Literature on the subject was reail by Mrs. Ser- vice, which is outlined chiefly as follows : ., j^Mmt "Realizing that the church provides i-xln program to meet the needs of young married couples, but rather that the present church group organi- zation separates husband and wife for most of their activities and exper- iences in the chui-ch, it is recommend- ed that a uniform method and suitable program be pi'ovided, so that they have religious, social, sei-vice and re- creational contacts, together, instead of separately." After considerable discussion it was decided to organize a Young Married Couples' Group, which is the fifth of its kind in Canada. The election of officers was held with the i-esults, as follows: President, Mr. and Mrs. Bob CaiTOthers; Vice-President, Mr. and Mrs. Ken Betts; Sec.-Treas.. Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Mclntyre. Recreational Com., Rev. and Mrs. G. R. Service. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Hutton. The meetings are to be held every month. Members are to bring ideas for a suitable name for the new group to the next meeting. After a delight- ful lunch served by the hostess, Mr., Earl Best moved a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Service for their hospitality. The ne.xt meeting- will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ken Betts on Thursday, Dee. 30, 834 Carloads to West Lady Tweedsuiuir Is W. I. Hon.

DOG MEETS MAIL MAN Jacob Deitze,"lot 31, Con. 3, Ellice township, owns a eollie dog that for the past twelve years has served that household faithfully by delivering the mail from the intersection of the 2n(i and 3id concessions, which is about 200 yards from his home. Rain or shine, the dog, Bruce by name, scamp- ers down to the intersection every da\ about 9.30 to meet the mail courier. E. A. Townsend, R. R. 5, Stratford, and then trots quitr proudly back U> the house to deliver the mail. When Mr. Townsend gets about 100 yards from the intersection, he sounds the horn of his car, which is the signal fo' Bruce to come. The total number of carloads of fruit and vegetables sent for the relief of families in the dried-out areas in the West has now reached *'34, ac- cording to Rev. D. N. McLaciilan. 0. D., secretary of the Joint Com -littee of the Churches for Western Relief. Dr. McLachlan stated that the or- iginal objective was 500 c;irIoai!.^. Sponsored by a joint committee of thi churches of Canada, the Presb.vter- ian, the Baptist, the Roman Catholic •ind the United, the relief movement rapidly too!: hold in communities throughout Canada and in many in- stances civic committees aided the churches in filling the cars. Ontario and Ea.stern Canada sent 382 carloads westward, it was stated. Carloads sent by other Provinces came from: Saskatchewan. (!: Manitoba. 189; Alberta, 106; British Columbia, 151. Four thousand bales of clothing have now been shipped to Saskatch- ewan by United Church congrega- tions, Dr. McLachlan announced. Fear that it would bo a toyless Christmas for many thousands of children in Saskatchewan is felt by mnjiy Saskatchewan ministers, ac- cording to information received by the Board of Evangelism and Social Service.
