®hje /teljMtftt %l^nnnu. VOL. 57; NO. 48 PLESHERTON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1938 W. H THURSTON & SON. Proprietorg ' Eipect Good Crops We were pl^ase<l on Monday to re- ceive a letter from our old friend, Ifr, Addle Heron of Swift Current, Saskatchewan. Last year was the first time since 1913 that he failed to have a crop, although some of them were small ones. This spring pros- pects are bright for better crops, as -there were heavy rains last fall and this spring with a plentiful supply of snow, and he lives in hope that bright- er times for the West are ahead. Another letter was recently receiv- ed from T. Boyce, renewing for The Advance, in which he states the winter was very cold, the thermometer reach* ing 65 below zro. He reads with in- terest every issue of the Advance but notices many of those he knew have passed away. We are always glad to have a letter from our old friend* and subscribers and to know that this paper assists them in keeping iix touch with their old home communi- ties.

NEW MARKERS IN JUNE A report from Queen's Park last Thursday says that about 25 per cent of the 1939 car markers will be available by June. Motorists will be encouraged to buy them to replace the 1938 "invisible" plates. The new plates will be good until the end of next year. The government has made this move following a spontaneous press protest from all over the province. The new markers will be of the high- est possible legibility. If it contains a package of cigar- ettes, a bathing suit and a make up kit, it's a lady's purse. It promises to take about as long to put the Ontario government's bridge bill over at Ottawa as it will to put the bridge itseK over the Ni- agara. ♦♦♦♦II I » » m 1 1 1 1 * t >»♦♦♦♦♦»♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ » # ♦♦i > «»*^» » «» n tc N» •â-  BE SURE TO HEAR AND SEE ii "HERE GOMES CHARLIE" ii A THREE ACT, FARCE COMEDY PLAY Presented By THE YOUNG MARRIED COUPLES GROUP ;| Thursday, April 2811 PLESHERTON TOWN HALL TO COMMENCE AT 8 P.M.

CouncO Is Building Fire Hall in Park Flesherton village council decided at a recent meeting to erect a frame building to ho|ise the Are truck and equipmeat recently purchased from the town of Meaford. The building will also be used to store supplies and equipment of the local Hydro Electric Commission. The new fire hall is being erected on land in Memorial Park to the rear of F. G. Karstedt's store, which is unused for any pur- pose, and will be a substantial siised building. The position of the fire hall draws commendation from 3<~me and condemnation from others, while a great many have either not heard of the aciivities or don't care where it •s erected. Many thought the hall should be built on a main street, easy of iccess in winter time, wherj the snow would not lie so deep, while others remarked that the tyje of building that would be precteJ would not be a credit to the main st.'m We a.ippose as long as there is an etfic- ient fire brigade organized and the equipment kept in shape it is ot no account where the hall is erected If it had been erected on a main street, property would have to be purchased and the frontage tax against that proprty would have to be assumed by the town, so perhaps the p.-esent position is as good as any. Worlr on levelling the ground was comwiiiced last week and forms for a cement foundation have been erected. E. D. Hogg Dies Edward Donald Hogg, former sta- tion agent at Priceville, died at the home of his sister, Mrs. Pattison, in Hamilton on Thursday of last week, at the age of 67 years. Mr. Hogg was a telegraph operator for the C.P.R. and held positions at Priceville, Brampton, Erin and also in the West. The funeral was held on Friday, Ap- ril 22, to Shelburne cemetery. Rev. C. E. Dyer of Knox United Church officiated. He leaves to mourn three sisters, Mrs. John Berwick, Shelburne, Mrs. J. D. Madill of Foremost, Alta., and Mrs. Agnes Patterson of Hamil- ton. The late Mr. Hogg was well and favourably known throughouv this district and for a number of years was a member of Prince Arthur Lodge No. 333, A.F. and A.M. Purchased Business Two young former Flesherton men have decided to enter business on their own account in Toronto. Last week Messrs. Bill Patton and Harold Best purchased a restaurant concem at 10- 92 Danforth Ave. near Coxwell, pos- session to be taken June 1st, and will employ Canadian help. We wish the boys the best of success in their un- dertaking. Attended A Party â€" â€" â€" • Miss Genevieve Milne celebrated her tenth birthday last week. One of guests was Miss Lois Wood, who has been bedfast since last August with paralysis. Lois has so far recovered as to be able to be moved, on her own bed, from room to room, and to use her hands for knitting, but is not yet allowed to stand upon her feet. She was thrilled with the pleasure of being out of the home and among the little people. Her physician. Dr. Milne, believing no injury would re- sult, took her rfd her mother to Owen Sound to see "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." Arrangements had previously been made with the theatre management for her comfort. It was an afternoon never to be for- gotten by Lois. SPECIAL CONTAINERS FOR GAS Many of our readers may be sur- prised to learn that they are causing their hardware dealers and garagemen to break the law in asking them to supply their customers with small quantities of gasoline in other than an approved metal type safety con- tainer. Section 39 of the Gasoline Handling Act provides that such con- tainers must be used for handling quantities of gasoline under 5 gallons. These cans should bear a label printed in bcld type and wai-ning that the con- tents are dangerous and should not be expo.sed to fire or flame and should not be used for cleaning purposes in any building. These regulations should receive careful attention of tho.^e buying naptha gas especially. The Ontario Insurance ."Vet provides that if a fire results in any premises from gasoline kept in a glass contain- er, the insurance policy shall be void.

CURRENT CROP REPORT Bruce County reports egg receipts heavy with quality, so far, particular- ly good. Interest is being shown there in soiltesting. Increased prices foi cattle in Grey County have madt things brighter for farmers who are feeding cattle. Most farmers in Lin- coln have plenty of hay and coars» grains on hand to feed the stock un- til pastures are ready and on the •whole dairy cattle are in good flesh. Wheat looks very promising in Went- worth as fields have made good (growth and are very green. In Nor- thumberland County the demand for horses continues unabated. Upwards »f 500 western horses have been sold by auction at Campbellford this win- ter at prices from |125 to $175 for fair quality horses. In Fronten- ac the prices of grade milch cows at local sates range from fSOto $70, and the demand seems quite keen. In Grenville a surprising amount of seed has been cleaned oat of last y-'ar's light crops. Anniversary Services of Flesherton Baptist Church i The 56th anniversary of the Flesh- erton Baptist Church will be observed next Sunday, May 1st, when Mr. E. Christie, Toronto, will assist the pas- tor and the choir in the services. The services will be held at 11 AM. and 7 P.M. Special music is being pre- pared bv the choir and appropriate messages will hp given. Pastor .Ash- ton will preach in the morning and Mr. Christie in the evening. Mr. Christie will sing also both morning ,,3nd evening. A cordial invitation is given to all to come and hear this gospel singer. HEAVY TOLL OF BABY CHICKS AT HA.VOVEH Xioss estimated at nearly $1,000, was occasioned to a chic hatchery at Hanover recently, when the hydro power failed during a windstorm. Power was off the greater part of the night. A break in the lines was re- sponsible. More than 5,000 eggs on the verge of hatching were lost as well as many of the 1,300 baby chicks already chirping around the one incu- bator which was chiefly affected. Both eggs and chicks require a steady temperature. There were several thousand eggs in the three other larger incubators. .\s yet there is no definite way of detennining whether these suffered or not, al- though officials expect the loss will be considerable also. Likes Toronto Team Bill Urbanaki, shortstop of Toronto Maple Leafs, whose professional base- ball career stretching over the past ten years has been confined to two, the International and the Nationu-, was gossiping with a number of base- ball* writers in a Jersey Ciiy notel re- cently when one of the scribes asKcd him what he thought of the Toronto Maple Leafs. "I Uke 'em," replied Bill. I've seen a lot of ball clubs in my time and you can take it from me that Dan Howley has a good team this year, and I'm not saying that just because I'm oa it. It is true we didn't win many ball games in the South during the spring training series, but never judge a team on what it does in those ex- hibition games. Even the Yankees were getting knockwi off in the South this year. Howley was doing soma experimenting with his young pitchers and we were more concerned about getting into condition than in winning games that don't ceunt. Wait until the old bell rings on the International League opening. When the boys be- gin playing for keeps that's the tim» you get a real line on a team." This is quite a long speech for Ur- banski. The Perth Araboy resident takes his baseball seriously and he is noted for being one of the best hust- ling ball players in the game. He is the sparkplug of the Leafs and is showing the same form that made him such a stand-out in the International League when Bostxin bought bim. Toronto club officials are making big preparations for the opening with Jersey City on Thursday, May 5, and Maple Leaf Stadium may hold a larg- er crowd than the record one that turned out on Coronation Day last year to set an all-time attendance mark for that field. Sees Profits Roll In SLOT MACHINES GO Flesherton's slot machines have dis- .ippeared from circulation, which dis- poses o.f a sore point suffered by many during the past couple of years. This has been brought about by the con- tinual watch of the police authorities. The trouble with the European sit- uation is that just the time you have learned how to pronounce and spell the name of some statesman he is ousted from office. After learning that seven of the prime ministers of our country h«Ve been lawyers, we now havt- a clear idea of what's wrong with it. BAPTIST CHURCH (Rev.

'O '^me; Let ns Worship the LorJ in Hfa Sanctuary." A story comes from the Niagara Peninsula by way of the Dunnville Chronicle. It deals with one of the many forms of gambling going on at present in Ontario. .â- V stranger came into a cigar store and offered a punch- board for sale. It had t\.vo large piizes. Whoever punched one of the holes would get a grand {.rize of $25.- 00 and in another hole was hidden a ^5.00 bill. The storekeeper bought tilt? board for cash from the stranger and sat back to watch the profits roll in. For a while the board attracted a few of the local boys who were will- ing to take a chance, but the profits for the first two days were small. Then two r: re strangers came in and saw the bc:ird. They took a few chances and then all of a sudden out popped the $5.00 bill. That wasn't too bad, but the other chap went to work and right away he pushed out the $25.00 and the two of them walked out and drove away. The storekeep- er sat back and did some thinking, and although he could not prove any- thing he felt that these two men were probably close friends of the other stranger who sold him the board, and that not only the ones who took a chance were suckers, but that he loiew somebody else who might be put un- der that classification. â€" Fergrus News- Record.
