Editor, TOWNSHU' KO.AU QUESTION The highway question is again be- fore the ratepayers of Artemesia Township and a ballot will be taken on the question as to whether or not the ralcpayers would wish to abolish statute labor and return to the gov- ernment-assisted control of the high- vays, as was in vogue a few years ago. When the depression was at its height the ratepayers preferred to do their statute labor, rather than have it commuted at even fifty cents a day. The question was pretty well discuss- ed at the nomination on Friday, but 8till we believe very many ratepay- ers do not fully understand the benefit to accrue from discarding the old I son, George, who have been residing EUGENIA Next Sunday will be Sacrament in the United Church here. The Woman's Asaociatioii will hold iheir annual meeting on Dec. 9th. On Wednesday evening the Y.P.U. met in the basement of the church, when Miss Jean Tudor, the president, had charge. The discussion topic on "Temperance" was taken by Miss Eve- lyn Campbell, the Literary convenor. Scripture passages were read by Miss Irene Dinsmore and Mrs. G. Paris. The Mizpah Benediction closed the meeting. We are sorry to report Mr. Ronald Parsons ill at present and wish him a speedy recovery. Mrs. Parsons is re- covering from a sore hand, having l\ad it severely cut by a lamp glass which broke while she wa.s cleaning it. We are pleased to report Mrs. Wil- fred Magpc is recovering nicely since her recent operation. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Hunter and son, Royden, from near Flesherton, spent an evening last week with Mr. and Mrs. C. Martin. We are sorry to report Mrs. Stanley Campbell on the sick list, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Lawlor and Arthur spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Chard, Rock Mills. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Falconer and system. Under such a charge the jfovernment would pay one half the cost of road upkeep in the township, also one half the cost of all machin-« °ry purchased and of bridges erected. In our opinion the latter is probably the most important point to consider. There are many bridges and culverts to be kept up in Artemesia, and if it is found necessary to rebuild a few of them it would mean a real hard- ship If the taxpayers were obliged to shoulder the whole cost, when the jfovemment, under the proposed change, would pay one half. It is said that ratepayers residing alongside the highways are likely to vote in the negative, with the mis- taken idea that they would not bene- fit by such a change. At the present time they do roadwork on the aide- roads leading from the highway, and they itio pay their taxes through their County rate, which would mount up by leaps and bounds if the bridgCN aforementioned would be found nec- essary. In any event, it would be a very narrow-minded attitude to take in apartments in Mr. Jos. Sherwood's residence, have moved into part of the home of the late Mrs. S. Turner. Rev. Mills of the Gospel Workers' Church, Markdale, held a prayer meet- ing at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Magee on Thursday evening of last week. Rev. Mills gave a very im- pressive address, which showed that wfliat this old world needs is a great religious revival. Miss Christina Magee of Brewster's Lake and Misses Lillian an(f Doris Mag«e and brother, Jim, of Flesher- ton spent the week end at their par- ental home. Vlsitorn with Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Purvis on Armistice Day were: Mr. and Mrs. Crosby of Barrie and Mrs. Lucas of Guelph. (Sorry this item was omitted last week.) Miss Delsa Kaitting was home from Flesherton for a few days. Mrs. Timmins of Traverston visited Mr. and Mrs. W. Walker last week. The Sunday School held a very en- joyable social on Friday evening. A good program wa.s enjoyed, followed by lunch. A free-will offering amount- ed to about $8.50. Mrs. Richards and daufthti-r, Miss Audrey, and Miss Jean Gawley of Berkeley visited the Falconer families to argue, that because they have a Ion Friday. Mis.s Audrey gave several (food highway in front of their pro- perty, that they should not be called upon to assist other portions of It^e municipality in the Improvement of their roads. The other members of the township have assisted them in retting their highways and a recip- rocal attitude would only be tha fair thing. PAGE MR. HEPBURN Premier Ilc^pliurn made the an- nouncement last Week that he would no longer assist unemployed single men, us there was plenty of work with lumber and pulp companies in the north country. The Premier tihould first have acquainted himself with the nature and conditions of that employment, before issuing his mani- festo. Several young men from Grey County have gone north and tested the work offered. Some went as far north as Kapuskusing. They fwy rain poured into their sleeping quarters and staked bedding and everything inside. They stayed only a few days and returned home. Othei- parties from this part of Ontario have also returned home to say th;i( when their board is settled there would be very little left for clothi's and other necesijities. The com panics who engage these young men pay their executives high salaries ami evidently refuse a living wage to then employees. Mr. Hepburn is invited to interrogate some of these young men and learn at first hand where his policy works hardship. recitations and with Miss Gawley sa.ig a duet, accompanied by Mrs. Richards at the organ, at the Sunday School social. All numbers wore enjoyed. We extend our deep sympathy to Mr. Rdwin Large and family »f Nia- gara Falls In the sad bereavement by the death of his sister, Miss Eleana Large, of Owen Sound.

The gown had a short train and fell to the floor in front. She wore a white veil in a coronet with sprigs of orange blossoms, and carried a bou- quet of Talisman roses and valley lilies. Mrs. Arthur Adams, matron of honor, wore orchid velvet and Miss Gertrude Peterson wore pink velvet. Their gowns were finished alike on Empire lines, with square necks and tiny puff sleeves, the pannelled skirts cut slightly in train.

The flower girl, Ann Elizabeth Adams, was frocked in pale green velvet with tiny pink and mauve flowers on the sleeves and neckline. She wore a Juliet cap of silver cord and carried a ba.sket of roses. The groomsman was Mr. Harold W. Riley Jr., and Mr. R. J. Bums and Mr. Douglas McDermid were the ushers. After the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride's par- ents, where 125 guests had been Invited. The rooms were lighted by tall candles, while roses and violets doooruted the supper table. The par- ents of the bride and groom received with the bridal party. Mrs. Sturgeon wore a velvet gown of Normandy rod, witji a turban to match, and wore a corsage of Talisman roses. Mrs. Fenerty Sr. wore a model of rosewood lace, with matching hat, and a corsage of gardenias, valley lilies and violets. After the reception the bride and groom left on a motor trip to Seattle and Vancouver. The bride travelled In a rust ensemble, with a two-piece sport model tweed coat, trimmed in black fur.

Missionary From China Rev. Andrew Thompson, missionary home on furlough from Honan, China, was the special speaker in St. John's United Church Sunday last. In the morning he gave some of his exper- iences and at night showed about 50 slides of that part of China wherein he has labored the past thirty years. He and his wife, with one other W. M.S. missionary,are the only Prot- estant representatives in an area of 1,000 square miles, which has a popu- lation of 800,000. Three and a half years ago they opened a 23 bed hos- pital on their own responsibility and during that time over 7,000 patients have been treated and all their orig- inal investment has been repaid. They travel from place to place hold- ing evangelistic meetings in a large tent and many new churches have been astablished during the year. In China, today, one in every thousand is a Christian, but among China's leaders one in every six is a Christian. ENGAGEMENT Wonder what it feels like to be the first to enter a stadium that holds S0,000 people. The Jnps who think that Canadian piddie opinion is pro-Chinese are not very far viTong.
