Proprietors Crowds At Fowl Supper St. John's United Church, Flesher- ton, On Thursday evening last enjoy- ed one of the largest crowds to ever attend a fowl supper in the history of the church. The auditorium was filled to capacity, with the aisles occupied with chairs and people stand- at the back of the church. Over 400 people were fed in the basement to a splendid supper of fowl and all the pastry one could wish to eat. There were so many fed that the supply of fowl ran out and the ladies were forced to provide meat for the late arrivals. It was after eight o'clock before the last relay sat down. The Redickville Dramatic Club gave their fourteenth performance of ''Bar Harbor" and it was a play that was worth while to see and the characters took their parts exceedingly well, each one seemingly picked for the part played. 'We would be pleased to see these players back some time with another play. The proceeds of the evening's entertainment amoui.ied to over $192.00. HOPKINS â€" COE A pretty wedding took place Sat- urday evening in St. John's Anglican Church, Weston, when Phyllis Maud, elde^ daughter .of Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Coe of Weston, became the bride of Mr. William Wallace Hopkins son of Mr. W. D. Hopkins of Flesher- ton and the late Mrs. Hopkins. The altar was decorated with carnations. Rev. .'W. E. Mackey performed the ceremony and Mrs. R. Northcott sang ''O Promise Me." The wedding music was played by Mrs. B. Slinger. The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a gown of ivory satin with a long train. Her veil fell from a coronet of orange blossoms and she carried a shower bouquet of Butter- fly roses and lily of the valley. The maid of honor was Miss Ruth Coe, sister of the bride, and was dressed in rose taffeta trimmed with garden- ias. Her circular veil fell from a cor- onet of gardenias and she earned a bouquet of Talisman roses. Miss Edith Ewles and Miss Maud Hardman, cousins of the bride, were the brides- maids. They wore gown of orchid taffeta trimmed with pale green satin and veils falling from coronets of orchid flowers. Lois Leedham, cousin of the bride, acted as flower girl. She wore a dress of yellow georgette over taffeta, a coronet of yellow flowers m her hair and carried a basket of yel- low pom poms. Mr Alex. Hopkins, brother of the groom, was best man, and the ushers were Mr. Charles Grirasditch and Mr. Henry Ewles. The reception was held at the home of Mrs Phillip Coe, who received the guests in a dress of mulberry velvet with black accessories and a corsage of roses. The couple, who will reside in Weston, left on a motor trip to Buffalo. ^^__ Simile â€" As behind the times as railway transportation. important Session Of Grey County Council Grey County Council will hold the November meeting commencing Tues- day, November 15th, one day earlier than originally set, due to the large amount of business to be transacted. Two important decisions are to be made at this meeting of the Council, as there are two positions to be filled. Due to the resignation of Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Smith in charge of the Grey County Home at Markdale for many years a new caretaker will have to be appointed. The list of appli- cants for the position has been nar- rowed down to five. The other ap- pointment is that of County Clerk to succeed the late Fred Rutherford, whose death occurred a short time ago. The work of the County Clerk has been looked arfter by Mrs. Rutherford, who is one mentioned for the position. Other names mentioned are those of Warden H. A. McCauley of Flesher- ton and W. F. Riley of Meaford, but the former has not signified his inten- tion of seeking the job. Other names will no doubt be mentioned by the time the Council gathers next week. It has been suggested that the office of Clerk be joined with that of the treasurer and that J. C. Mercer, hold- ing both positions, have an assistant. Other opinions are that the offices re- main separate as they have been. No Paper Next Week Following the usual custom of The Advance to take a week's holidays each year the paper will not be pub- lished next week. The office will be open, however, for general job work, reciving subscriptions, etc. The next issue of The Advance will appear on Wednesday, November 23.

TORONTO Night or Day Phone: Klngsdat* 4844-S4Se Service Well Attended The service in connection with "A Great Protestant Crusade," under the auspices of L.O.L. 2855, was very well attended on Sunday afternoon. This service was held in the town hall with Mr. F. W. Duncan, W.M., as chairman. Brethren from the local Lodge and from neighboring Lodges, also the District Master, paraded from the Fraternal Hall to the service. Mrs. Blackburn very ably officiated at the piano and Mr. Roy Langford of Mark- dale rendered two solos in a splendid manner. A beautiful quartette num- ber "Lead Kindly Light" was another special feature of this service with Mrs. Geo. Cairns, Mrs. A. Down, Mr. Geo. Cairns and Mr. F. W. Duncan taking part. The Scripture lesson from 2nd Timothy 2: 1-19 was read by Mr. C. R. Chappie. Rev. Fred Ashton, Chaplain of the local L.O.L., gave a very earnest message on "The Challenge of the Present Day,'' urg- ing every Protestant to be true to the principals he professes. Mr. .\shton also mentioned that the principaL3 of the Orange Order were the same as found in John 3:16. His talk was very interesting and well received by the congregation. During the service reference was made to the tragedy of the Great War and after singing the National Anthem Bro. Ashton made intercession for all who were still suf- fering from that terrible time. Rev. Geo. R. Service closed the meeting with the Benediction.

WILCOX JOHNSON (By Proton Station Corr.) .\ quiet but pretty wedding took place at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19t. in the Pilgrim Holiness chapel at Proton Station, when Lily Jessie, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Johnson of Timmins, became the bride of Mr. Paul Edward Wilcox, son of Mrs. Wilcox and the late William Wil- cox of Kentucky. The bride was becomingly gowned in navy triple crepe and navy hat, carr>-ing a bouquet of pink baby munis, pink roses and maiden hair fern and entered the chapel to the strains of Lohengrin's bridal chorus, played by Miss Ruth Sherson. The bride and groom took their place un- der white wedding bells and stream- ers of white, pink and blue. The ceremony was performed by Rev. H H. Shaw, pastor of the church. Dur- ing the signing of the register Miss Myrtle Watson of Durham sanr "Sweet Peace, the Gift of God's Love." The ceremony was followed by a presentation to the bride of many useful gifts from Proton Station friends and also a splendid sum of money from the members of the Wiar- ton Mission, which bespoke the esteem in which the bride and groom are held. A buffet lunch was served, after which Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox left by motor for Wiarton. amid showers of confetti and good wishes, where they will make their home while Mr. Wiicox is pastor of the Pilgrim Hol- iness Mission there. Flesherton high school gained the top rung in the rugby loop, when they hurtled over the Markdale six Monday in a cleanly-played and hard-fought struggle. Frank Graham's trusty toe hoofed three singles over Markdale's line in each of the first three quarters to give Flesherton a slim lead of 3-0. It was not until late in the fourth quarter that Markdale finally drove the local lads right back to their own goal line, when one fumble or misplay would put Markdale in position for a major score. It "was certainly a try- ing moment for both sides when the timer's whistle announced just one minute to play. What was done ? Quarterback Del- bert Smith called a tricky, but dang- erous, play at this point. The ball was snapped out to him. He darted to the left for an attempted end run but was surrounded by tacklers right in the shadows of his goal posts. Taking a chance, he hurled a lateral pass to Ben Leavell who, although beset by the enemy, heaved a perfect thirty-yard pass straight into the clutching arms of Frank Graham, who streaked for the enemy territory and planted the ball down for the only touchdown of the game, after a 70 yard run. The game ended there with the score 8-0, Believe it or not, that is just the way the boys planned it, and it was a moving picture play for the spec- tators. Every boy on the team has some outstanding quality and when these are added together in team-play the locals are hard to beat. Delbert Smith, with his years of experience in athletics, is a steady brainy quarterback; Frank Graham can kick the ball high and far, as well as the best whirling, dashing, broken- field runner; Ben Leavell and Russell Johnson are two of the most fearless and deadly tacklers in the league and and deadly tacklers in the league; Ted McTavish gives strength and defensively; Joe Banks, although the midget of the team, is filling a diffi- cult position at snap and doing very well. , , , On Wednesday, Nov. 9th. the boys play Dundalk in Flesherton in the last scheduled game of the season. Dundalk must win to make a place in the pl&v-offs and Flesherton is deter- mined to continue their string of vic- tories. Come to the agricultural park and encourage the boys. Gambling Is Contrary To Christian Teaching "We may conclude our observations regarding "the evils of gambling by saving that it places false ideals and ideas in the minds of those people unfortunately involved. They forget that everything we get in this world w^hether physical, mental or spiritual, we must work and give something or *onie part of ourselves in return. Gambling fills a part of our lives which we should be devoting to higher pursuits, takes away our leisure time and gives little or nothing in return.. It undermines self-reliance. Gambling is directly opposed to Christian ethics and principals." Such was the theme of a message embodie<f in 'a lecture presented by their citizenship convenor. Mr. "Ted Dixon at the regular weekly meeting of the Y.P.U. of St. John's United church on Monday evening. Following a poem read by Miss K. Bannon "Too Much Liberty," Ted Dixon delivered a dynamic tv. nty minute talk; the end of which found all present convinced of the wisdom of total abstinence from gambling in anv form. Mr. E. Hutton. president of the Society, congratulated Ted upon the thoroughness of his argument an(< spoke also a few moments on the evil. Ho warned the boys not to be •â- suckers" by losing money to slot machines and the like and suggested they devote their time and money t'' something of value. .A half hour of recreation and social activity ended the meeting. Fourteen â-  civil cases and one mur- der trial are to heard at the Grey assizes being held at Owen Sound this week. Most of the civil actions arise from motor car accidents. Three of these of local interest arose from an acciden on February 2nd, 1938, on Highway No. 10, near the village of Melancthon. Mrs, Lily Graham, storekeeper is plaintiff in one case, Mrs. Virgia Graham of^ Flesherton, administratrix for the estate of Tol- bert E, Graham, deceased, is plaintiff in another, and Herbert E. and May Graham are plaintiffs in the third action. Cope & Son Transport, and their driver, Fred Guilbert, are de- fendants in each case. The accident occurred when the Cope truck and the car, driven by H. E. Graham, collideu. Mrs. Lily Grahm, claiming damages of $15,000, alleges she suffered two broken ribs, a broken hip, broken cheek bone and other injuries, leaving permanent scars on forehead and nose, and was forced to give up bus- iness for some time. .As administrat- rix for T. E. Graham, Mrs. V. Gra- ham asks damages of $15,000 under the Fatal Accidents Act and $10,000 for shortening and loss of reasonable expectancy of life. H. E. Graham asks damages of $15,000, claiming permanent disablement and disfigure- ment from two broken legs, brokeri ribs, skull fracture and other injuries, while Mi-s. Mary Graham asks $10.- 000 for permanent disfigurement due to numerous fractures and cuts. Editor's Ncve: Just as we go to press this Wednesday morning we learn that a settlement has been made out of court in the above Graham cases, the amounts involved are not definite.

The cold storage room has yet to be completed. Mr. M. Bellerby has been drilling for water during the past week and hit a flowing well at 55 feet. The volume of flow is not strong enough and he is going down further to secure a heavier flow. Remembrance Day Program Outlined Remembrance Day is being obsen-ed in Flesherton on Friday morning, Nov. 11th. with service at the ceno- taph in memorial park at 11 a.m. -A parade will form up at the town hall at 10.30 and march to the park for the service which will be conducted by Rev. Stanley Elliott of Maxwell, assisted by local ministers and Rev. A. Sutherland of Priceville. The par- ade to the park will be composed as follows in the order named: public school pupils, high school pupils, civil bodies, organizations and societies, local platoon of the Grey & Simcoe Foresters and the ex-serviee men. It is hoped that there will be a large attendance at this first ser^'ice in the park since the park was dedicated. Let your presence be a fitting remind- er that you have not forgotten the debt you owe to those boys who laid down their lives at the front and tr those who have passed on since due to their war service. If the weather is not quite warm enough for the outside service the march to the park will take place as planned, the wreaths laid at the ceno- taph, but the speaking will be held ir the town hall. If the weather is nof fit for the march to the park tho entire proceedings wilt be held in the hall, the wreaths being placed at thi park later. Not A Heat Record There have been a lot of "I remem- ber whens" heard these days when the lovely October weather was being dis- cussed, but the weatherman says it wasn't a record for high temperature. .\verage temperature for the month was 52.1. which was about 10 degrees above normal. In 1900 the temperature for October averaged 55.7, which is 13.2 degrees above normal. The coldest day of the month, ac- cording to the Toronto bureau read- ings, was October 2S. when the mer- cury stood at 32.S, and the warmest was October 11, when 82.1 was reached â€" just like a real July or .August day. The weatherman |ttates there is nothing in the old claim that if we have a warm season we will make up the average in extra cold weather, it seems, doesn't work out that way. Everybody thought the fellow was nuts â€" sixty-five year old Alfred Suples, hving in the bare blue mountain cave in CollingwooU town- ship. But, lo and behold, he comes forth, the other day, to convince the medicals that he's twenty years younger, physically, than any of them. at that age. He didn't have a thing. He slept in a snow drift. And he comes racing down out of the cave and snatches a widow^ right from under the noses of a lot of jealous old fogies who had been coddling them- selves to no end. He put on a dud or two before going- to town to do the courting, but maybe the duds were not necessary. Far be it from us to judge. .Anyway, an extra twentj' years of youth is not to be sneezed at. The old boys and girls up there are apt to think that the fellows who went to the city and got dolled up with fine shirts have got the world by the tail. They're all wrong about that. They blew down the walls of Jericho with little toot-homs. They built the pyramids without electric cranes. Spaniards dug tons of gold from the rocks of America without either powder or compressed air. Chinamen were just as secure five thousand years ago as they are now. They had no guns then â€" not a thi.ng but embroidery on their tummies, as far as we can see in the museums. The old Osprey pioneers hadn't a thing. Oh, maybe an axe, quite un- important, but look what they did. Raised a family of ten kids, each one of whom would produce at least twenty-five thousand dollars as an asset to the country. .A conservat- ively estimated total a cool quarter million â€" besides, they built schools, churches, roads, fences and bridges,, the houses, barns and county build- ings. What did the next generaricn do when possessed with things ? Well, just look at us, what have we done? Where's our quarter million bucks T There is a chance that the Intelligence that keeps the north star so correctly- poised â€" that mariners for all time have depended on its position being unchanged â€" perhaps that Intelligence quietly and unseen, had a hand in helping to clear that first ten acres. There is a chance that, like the north star, there has been no change. They've been trying for years and years to cure cancer with things. Now they find that cancers may dis- appear without the aid of thingrs. Dr. Banting is wondering how that comes about. We think Dr. Banting is wondering m the right direction and that he will find the answer. â€" not in things. They's been trying for years and years to stop wars with bigger and better things, submarines, gas masks, wings and explosives. It would be a great thing if the makers of such things would send their help away fishing and whittling bows and arrows while waiting for a bite. Then throw the bows and arrows into the creek. Wars have a habit of spontaneously ending when the makers of wars begin to think. The Furhrer and Duce have spite- fullv and ravenously gobbling things but" just wait 'till you hear them with indigestion. So. to the folk back home â€" don t be envious of city things. Ten to one it isn't paid for. You are living right where most city people would like to live all summer and wher^. if they had the courage of Alfred Staples, they'd live all winter and play Santa Claus and extra twenty times and, best of all not have a thing to worry about at the finish. We started out to invite the Osprey Old B«3vs and Girls to a dance in the Capitol Theatre. Yonge Street, on Wednesday. Nov. 16th. but we're a bit i long-winded in our lead-up to things. i Just a bit longwinded that's all. â€" I. H. P. Mrs. W. Boyi was taken suddenly ill on Sunday morning, but is improv- ing nicely at her home. Her son. Dr. W, K. Boyd, of Toronto was a visitor with her on Tuesday. Mrs. L. Pedlar is nursing Mrs. Boyd. VISITORS FROM DETROIT Mr. and Mrs. Gaylord Kaitting. Mrs. O. Smith and .Mr. H. Prieskarn of Detroit spent the week end with the former's parents, Mr. and Mrs. â- VS'm. Kaitting at the Club House at Eugenia. The Georgian Bay apple crop, nor- mally 90,00(1 barrels, is put at 60,000 barrels this year. DKER SEASON IN GREY & BRUCE .\ special season for the shooting of deer in Grey and Bruce Counties ha.* been announced by Hon. Harry C. Nixon. Minister of Game and Fisher- ies. It will be from November l4th to November 19th, both days inclusive. .All regulations applying to other sec- tions w^ill apply to these counties, with the exception that running of dogs will not be allowed.

IN MEMORIAM McMULLENâ€" In loving memory of a dear husband and father, Samuel McMuUen. who died Nov. 11, 1935. He had a cheery smile, a pleasant way, .A helping hand to all he knew: He was «o kind, so generous and true; On earth he nobly did his best. Grant him. .Tesus. heavenly rest â€" Ever remembered by his Wif« and Family,
