Further anno-jnce- ment next week as to the tinion ser- vices for August. IN MEMORIAM SIMMONS â€" In loving rememb- rance of a dear husband and father, Walter Robert Simmons, who passed away July 29th, 1925. His gentle ways and loving smila ar« pleasant to recall, He had a kindly word for each, and was beloved by all. 'Tis sweet to know we'll meet again where partings are no more, And that the one we loved so well has only a-one before. No pen can write, no tongue can teli our sad and bitter loss, But God alone has helped so well to bear our heavy cro.i.^. Sadly missed by wife and daughters. IN MEMORIAM WATSON â€" In loving nlemory of George H. Watson, who passed away August 1st, 1937. My lips cannot tell how I miss him. My heart cannot tell what to say, God alone knows how I miss him In a home that is lonely today. Sadly missed and always remem- bered by â€" Jessie McDonald. tiring efforts in this community dur- ing the war years. Reveille comes early for all Veter- ans on Civic Holiday. The first part of the day's ceremony is theirs, and they are expected to be at assembly point at the high school grounds in full force, at the zero hour of 4.00 a. m. Better not trust the old alarm clock â€" stay up all night. Many of the great army of veterans have pass- ed on, in the intervening years since the war, with no military honors paid them, no fanfare of trumpets, no re- cogfnition for their work well done. Let this be their parade. Turn out and do them homage. Dress; berets, arm bands and medals, if possible. All ex-members of the old 31st Reg- iment are also requested to assemble at the high school grounds at same hour as above, to take part in the parade. Distinctive badges will be presented to them. Our forefathers were those quaint old-fashioned folk who, if they were ffinable to earn enough to get along on, got along on what they earned. ICE CREAM SOCIAL An ice cream social will be held in the church at Rock Mills on Monday evening, August 8th, under the aus- pices of the Ladies' Aid. Softball be- tween Eugenia and 8th line at 7 p.m., followed by real good program. Ad- mission 20c and 15c. PRIESTLEY'S Meat Market FOR FRESH. CURED AND COOKED MEATS Limited suRpIy of fresh fish each week PRICES RIGHT R. J. Priestley WE DELIVER. PHONE 4r7w Despite the early morning start, what resembles a traffic jam, appears in the program at the cOinmencement of Ike aquatic sports. The trooping of the I47th Battalion colors will scar- cely be complete, when the water sports will have to commence. This will afford you an excellent oppor- tunity of trying to be in two places at the same time, and you will have to do just that, if you want to take in everything that is going on in Flesh- erton on Civic Holiday. But don't pass up those water sports. We have a lot of young swimmers hereabouts who will give you a good display, and the novelty features should provide a lot of laughs. Flesherton is fortunate in having members of the Mermaid Club at this event. The girls are best in the sport, and are attractions at some of the big aquatic events in American cities to the south of us, as well as being features at the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition. Outside of their swimming accomplishments, they are rather restful to the eyes, judging from their pictures in the Toronto papers. So come and have a look. The boy divers are the best in the game, as graceful in the air as in the water. Altogether, a great bit of aquatic fun; don't miss it. The Toronto boys and girls are having a basket picnic at Memorial Park at 6.00 p.m. In conjunction with this, they are having sports for the ounger fry, under 20 years. There are generous prizes, so if you are a sprinter, a jumper, ti^ht rope walker or just a good pie eater, don't miss it. Square, flat and round dancing on the tennis court following the amateur concert. Reduce that growing waist line ana trip the light fantastic to the music of the Mildraay orchestra. Don't sleep on a park bench. Go to the picture show in the town hall at 12.30 a.m. The seats are more com- fortable. Any person snoi'ing will be pi'omptly ejecUiU. It's a long time since we have had a good baseball game locally. Two outstanding rivals in the Owen Sound Bruce League team and Meat'ord ot the Simcoe League, are fighting it out on the local diamond at 2.30 p.m. Which League plays the better ball? Come and see the issue decided. The ladies softball game of Owen Sound and the Robert Simpson teams is a natui-al. Both teams pack a lot of right smart ball Siuffers. Come and see them muff. They start the fireworks at l.'M p.m. Can you yodel, play a bassoon, stut- ter, juggle, butcher loiives, tell a funny story, or play the bag pipes? If you can, your opportunity comes at 8.00 p.m. at the amateur concert. Good prizes and no entry fee. Make entries either at The Advance office, or up to 8.00 p.m. at the skating rink. Well folk, we'rs going to have a lot of visitors in town on Monday. It's going to require a lot of effort to feed and water the whole gang, but let's all extend them the glad hand of wel- come, and let them go away thinking Flesherton is the swell town we know it to be. Even if they do park a car in your flower bed, or fall into your cistern, don't act as if you had a seed under your upper plate, smile right out loud. You'll enjoy it better that way. Veterans, shun! Let's go to town in a big way on Civic Holiday. We may not have a French Village or an Estaminet, but we still have the will to put things over the Top again. Let's have a Corps reunion of our own. The unveiling of the memorial will be an event of historical importance that should not be missed by anyone in the entire district. While the hour is early we believe that with the pro- gram provided at the unveiling the people will be pleased that they took part. The parade of the veterans, the changing of the guard on the monument, the trooping of the colors are events never seen here before and may never be seen again. You will lever regret being on hand at 4.00 a.m. on Monday next. Civic Holiday. AQUATIC EVENTS Following is the program for the events at the pond: 1. Boys' race 14 and under. 2.

The Embarrassing Situation This actually happened in a Yonge Street, Toronto, shoe shop recently. A young woman and two delightful children visited the shoe store and the salesman, entertaining the child- ren, asked the little boy where he came from. St. Thomas was the an- swer. The salesman happened to come from St. Thomas himself, so he asked the woman "How is Mitch's onion farm coming along?" '-Oh, pretty well,'' was the answer. "And what about that hospital he has been talking about building for years'.' Will he ever get around to that? Mr. and Mrs. Irwin Mclntyre, for- mer students at the Bible School here, are residing in Mr. Chas. Hodgins' cottage in this village. When Mr. and Mrs. Mclntyre were coming up the Caledon mountain the trailer, which was laden with furniture, etc., became detached from the car in which they were riding and went backward and on its downward course met a car ascending, but the driver managed to keep at a safe distance. Finally the trailer capsized into the ditch, doing considerable damage to the furniture it contained, particularly to an organ.

Then just as the trio were leaving, he turned to the little boy again. ".\nd what is you*- name?" "Peter Hepburn'' replied the child stoutly. And was the salesman's face red! To the man who has been forced to swim rivers, creeks look small. IDEAL ONE-DAY LAKE TRIP Special Cruise to Christian Island and Midland on C.P.R. liner Keewatin from Owen Sound, Tuesday, .A.ug. 9th.
