®l)je /k0l)trlim A^mmu, Vol. 58; No. 42 FLESHERTON, WEDNESDAY. MARCH 15. 1939 VV. H. THURSTON & SON, Proprietors Gaiheriog of Old Boys There was a large attendance at the gatkering of Flesherton old boys and girls at the gathering which took the form of a dance, euchre and luncheon in Belvin Hall, College Street, Toron- to, on Friday evening last. As soon as one entered the door an atmos- phere of comradeship prevailed, that made one feel entirely at home. And why not? On every hand friends of long standing were to be found and their cheery greetings made one glad to be there. A lucky ticket prize was won by Harold Norcross, while Miss May Belyea took the spot dance prize. Twelve tables of euchre were filled with players and the winners were, Mrs. Stainton and Gordon Kirk. Those present from Toronto were: Ed. Sheppard, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Jollitfe, Bert LeGard, Shirley Murray, V. Cook, Mr. and Mrs. Ross Long, Mr. and Mrs. G. C. McDonald, Mrs. Horniblow, M. Belyea, Mrs. F. Teet- man, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Field, Doris Gordon, Hazel McKillop, Dell Thurston, Mr. and Mrs. Burton Field and Bruce, Herbert Poulter, C. A.

She entered the hospital in June of last year and gradually grew weaker, death coming as a release from pain. The funeral took place on Wednes- day, March 8th, when service was held in Maxwell United Cliurch at 2.30 p.m. with Rev. Stanley Elliott giving a comforting message to the bereaved brothers and relatives. A beautiful solo was rendereil by Mrs. Herbert Poole. Interment was made in Maxwell Cemetery. The pallbearers were Messrs. Jas. Hawes. Clarence Winters, Roy Fen- -wick, Luther Mills, Chris. Lougheed and G. W. Ross. The late Miss Heron was bom at Maxwell, daughter of the late Charles Fenwick Heron and Mary Brownridge, and resided there all her life. She was devoted to her parents and in the last illness of her father, who died in May of last year, she weakened her constitution to such an extent that there was no hope for her re- covery. She was highly regarded by a wide circle of friends who regret Hilliard LeGard, Mrs. W. A. Perkins, i her passing. She leaves to mourn two brothers, Albert Heron of Max- well and Henry Heron of New To- ronto. One brother, James, was killed overseas. The Late Mrs. Ruthven The funeral of Mrs. Robt. Ruthven, an old pioneer of Flesherton district, was held on Wednesday afternoon of last week from her son's residence near Clarksburg to Union Cemetery, Clarksburg. A service was held in St. Paul's Presbyterian Church where the de- ceased had been a faithful attendant and an active worker. The church was filled with her many friends and relatives who had gathered to pay .their last respects. The altar was banked with floral contributions. Rev. E. Orsborn, the minister, con- ducted the service and preached a well thought out and most approp- riate sermon from Zachariah, chapter 14, verse 7 â€" "But it shall come to pass that at the evening tide it shall be light." The pallbearers were Messrs. Wm. Hammond, Wm. Dinsmore, Walter Andrus, Albert Hewgill, David Cook and George Clendennan. Among those present from a dis- Ottewell.

Davis, Grey County War- den and Reeve of .A.itemesia, and Mrs. Davis were guests of honor at a complimentary banquet held in the Park Hotel Tuesday evening of last week when the members and officials of Artemesia Council and their wives were hosts and there were also a few invited guests. The delighful atfair was arranged to mark the elevation of Reeve Davis to the Wardenship, and a most enjoyable evening was spent in speech, song and stoiy. At the conclusion of the excellent fowl supper, which was heartily en- oyed by the entire company, a short program followed. Alex. Cameron, Treasurer of the Township, made a very capable toastmaster, and after welcoming the guests proposed the toast to the King which was respond- ed to by singing the National An- them and a few remarks by Rev. G. R. Service of Flesherton. The toast to the Warden and War- denship was proposed by A. Chard, Township Tax Collector, who address- ed the Warden as follows: On your having been chosen as Warden of the Coimty for the year 11)39, we wish to congratulate you on having attained that, the highest position in the municipal government of the County. We acknowledge the distinction and honor you have brought as Reeve to the residents of the township of Ar- temesia by being elected to that position. For two years as Deputy-Reeve and six years as Reeve you have repre- sented your township at the County Council faithfully and efficiently, and you have served on all the important standing committees as well as special committees and commissions. You, as chairman of the special committee for reforestation, have seen that very important work inaugurated in the County of Grey. A.s chairman of finance and assess- ment committee last year your coun- sel and decisions have been of value in that important branch of County work. .â- \s the presiding officer of the coun- cil of the Township of Artemesia you are courteous to your fellow coun- cillors and the officers of the town- ship with whom you from time to time come in contact. Your judgment and decisions have displayed your keen interest and comprehensive knowledge of the work of the gov- erning body of the township from year to year, and lastly, but none the less important, we note with great pleasure that your standing in the social and business life of your com- munity is such as to merit the esteem and confidence of your associates and friends, which you in full measure enjoy. There is an old but none the less true saying that honor should be given only where honor is due. We believe that by the length and effic- iency of your service as County Coun- cillor you have justly merited the po- sition of Waixlen of the County of Grey for the year 1939 Social Services i^assed in Mouse ering; Mr. and Mrs. C.

Macphaii, M.P.) The debates in the House of Com- mons this week dealt with vital, hu- man problems. That is as it should be. Too often Parliament seems so remote from the struggles of the people as to be unreal. But this week we sought alleviation for the people's cares, and made at least some progress. One of the great difficultiess today i.s the cost of illness. So many Can- adians cannot afford adequate medical care. (^Sixty per cent of the population receive less than a thousand dollars per year.) A general debate on the problem of health was made possible by a resolution offered by the Rev. Daniel Mclvor, Liberal member for Fort 'William. His work as a minister has brought him into close touch with the people in their sufferings. He wanted periodic examination and pro- vision for the treatment of the sick under the authority of the federal government. Every speaker was in favor of dis- tributing the load of sickness over a larger group, whether the province or the dominion. We must carry each other's illness burdens as we do in relation to education, or loss by fire. The Minister, Hon. C. G. Power, said that the provincess were doing much, Alberta and British Columbia having passed a Health Insurance -Act, and the other provinces have health units, travelling clinics, and municipal doctor schemes. He told, too, of group activities by private citizens; for instance, the co-oper- ative movement of St. Francis Xavier. On the first day of this year, they started a mutual hospital group. Every family pays $2.00 every three months, and this will entitle the members of the group to five weeks of ward treatment and a fifty per cent reduction in the rate for private and semi-private rooms. X-ray and operating fees. Mr. Power told also of the Assoc- iated Medical Services of Toronto, which Dr. Hanna organized. By this plan each person is allowed to choose his own doctor. The membership costs $2.00 for the head of a family per month, plus $1.75 for the first dependent and $1.50 for each suc- ceeding dependent. This provides for a minimum service. Mt Power's view is that, finally, all the schemes, whether provincial or private, will be co-ordinated in some fashion under state supervision, and he would like to see a health confer- ence called which would be attended by the provinces, all health insurance groups, welfare agencies, the Medical Associations and the Dominion gov- ernment, that together they might evolve a plan. Not so many years ago few were interested; now the whole House is, the Minister partic- ularly so. The age limit for old age pensions will be lowered; not this year, pos- sibly not next, but before long. When Mr. Heaps first asked that it should Priceville, 1938-1939 Champions The Priceville Silver Bullets are ! but were not successful. The second winners of the McDougall Trophy ' period opened in the same manne.. .symbolic of the Semi-Pro League for but Priceville soon made it 2-0 on a 1938-1939.

Truly the PMce- ville team gave eveiything it had and when a team plays thus along with some superb coaching the results are Vicar added his second goal on ton boys kept trying but to no avaiL The thiixl period opened with the Fleshertonians throwing caution to the winds in an attempt to get the equalizers. However the tables were turned on them by Priceville as Mc- almost always successful McVicar and Frook of Priceville were in the limelight, the former scoring three goals and assisting in a fourth while the latter scored twice. .McMeekin, Priceville goaler, stopped many a hard shot directed at him by the Flesherton snipers. The Flesher- ton boys did not seem to be able to click in this all important game perhaps more or less because of the great defensive type of game played by the Priceville squad. The Markdale .A.rena was packed almost to capacity showing the great support given by the public especially from the two towns represented in the game. One Priceville business man said there was not enough people left at home to blow out the lights. The first period opened with Price- ville immediately setting the pace. Henry was tried several times before McVicar finally sank the rubber in the cage. The Flesherton Bombers pressed hard to try and tie the count beautiful backhand shot to the top right hand corner. Shortly after this McLean was given the only penalty of the game for grabbing the puck. In their attempt to tie the score Flesh- erton let McVicar break away to get his thiixl goal. Frook notched Price- ville's fifth before Flesherton finally got on the score sheet on a back hand shot by Teeter on Russell's rebound. The Bombers were unable to score any more goals and the game ended 3-1 for Priceville. FLESHERTON _ Goal, Henry; de- fence. Johnson and Seeley; centre, Russell: wings.

We ai-e confident of your ability to guide the work of the County Coun- cil in such a manner as will bring honor to yourself and result in a year of real progress and sound admin- istration in this your native County of Grey. In conclusion ' we wish you many years of service and success in both your private life and the public affairs of your Township and County. Warden Davis replied to the ad- dress in appropriate terms, and the toast was also responded to by ex- Warden H. A. McCauley, Flesherton. The toast to the County of Grey and the County Councillors was pro- posed by I. B. Whittaker and re- sponded to by ex-Wai-den D. McTav- ish of Flesherton. The toast to the Township of .\rtemesia was proposed with the one exception of the Minister of Finance, who administers the .>Vct and, incidentally, provides the money (75',f by the Dominion, the provinces 25 "f). People of 60 and 65 years of age, who, for any reason, are unem- ployed, find it impossible to get a job and are having increasing difficulty to provide for themselves between 65 an<l 70 years of age. Mr. Heaps asked the House: "Does it not seem absurd that our older population should be woi'king when young men and women in their teens and early twenties arc walking about idle ? Mr. Dunning gave some very inter- esting figures. Fifty per cent of all people of over seventy years of age in Canada a.ie receiving old age pensions. If we lower the age limit to 65 it would cost, with our present population, an additional $18,859,000. Mr. Dunning said there was nothmg to prevent the provinces from taking care of their people between 65 and 70, if they wished, except that" the by Jas.

This town sports a hockey team I'd have you know; No rink to practice in; nothing but snow. But our boys they are husky, on that you may bet. As they have lost only two hockey games yet. Now there is Bert Aussum who tends to the gate; He looks after the "toadskins" come early or late: As you file in before him, not one he lets pass. So shell out your quarter, each lad and each lass. .A.nd there is the barber who trims up your hair, If he hears tell of hockey he's sure to be there: He's Priceville team's treasurer, I'd have you know, While the boys they play hockey he's counting the dough. Hats off to Neil .A-ldcorn, our war worthy coach, Who looks after the boys, their equipment and such. Always good natured, but sometimes looks cross; More power to you, Neil, let them know who's boss. There is Jimmie McDougall who tends Karstedt's lox, A hardy young devil chuck full of hard knocks; They generally have him attending the door, .\nd if you try to pass him you'll measure the floor. There is Johnnie McVicar, you all know him well; Along with his father they run a hotel; They sell ice cream and hot dogs and I'll tell you plump That most of their drinkables come out of the pump. There is O'Dell and Frook, Puke Turnbull and Bell ,Can skate round opponents like imps out of Hell. 'They glide down the ice while the fans yell and roar, With team play and passing they are sure to score. There is Carson, E. Turnbull and Camei-on McLean, Those three husky lads make up half the team; Their smoothness of play and handling of sticks Would make anyone think they were trained by old Nick. There is Johnnie McMeekin, the team's greatest pet, .\nd well he deserves it for tending the net. Whene'er there's a scramble and something goes thud Please don't get excite*!, it's Jack stopping the puck. There is .\rchie McKechnie who handles the truck. Takes the boys to and fro though he doesn't chase the puck. When he hauls out the gangplank, sa.vs, here folk get in line. You can always depend he will get there in time. Now we mustn't forget our good old friend, Joe, Who always is willing and ready to go. An takes all of those who might be left behind -And he'll get you there for he drives like the wind. So, now I have told you something of our team; Though we are not poets, don't think we are green. We have done many towns but the best we have seen Is our own little burg on the banks of Saugeen. NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR THE USE OF OUR CHAPEL BATES & MADDOCKS 124 Avenue Road, TORONTO Night or Day 'Phone KIngsdale 4344-84B6 by W. J. Bellamy, veteran Clerk of the Township. Mr. Bellamy gave some interesting facts and thoughts on the history of Artemesia and he also stated that on April 1st he will have been clerk of the township for fifty-nine years and during that long term has never been absent from a monthly meeting of the council, a record to be proud of. Rev. G. R. Service gave an excel- lent address on the church's relation- ship to the .itate, which was much appreciated. Mrs. L B. Whittaker and Mrs. H. A. McCauley spoke a few words of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Ferris for the splendid dinner they had provided, and Mrs. Davis was presented with a lovely bouquet of flowers. A social hour brought the gathering to a close. When a man is down and (ut his friends are soon up and away. cent of the cost. The Penitentiary Bill, providing for a commission of three to take charge of all penal institutions in Canada, pa.ssed the Commons and is now in the process of being passed in the Senate. You will recall that last year the Senate defeated a similar Bill. Mr. Lapointe met with some difficulty when the lengthy measure was before the House, but it did not prove ser- ious, and the Conservatives gave a good deal of support, which is import- ant in view of Mr. Meighen's antag- onism last year. The plan is that the new commis- sion, which cthe Minister has promised will be men of high calibre, will re- form the penitentiary system along the lines laid down by the Royal Commission. They made eighty-eight definite recommendations, which, when carried out, will give us a penal sys- tem which reforms as well as discip- (Oonthined on Page 4) Egg Grader Installed The Flesherton Creamery has in- stalled an egg grading machine in their plant and had it in operation last Friday. The eggs are candled in the usual way and are then put through the machine to be graded ac- cording to weights specified for each grade, thus ensuring the egg produc- ers the highest returns for their pro- ducts. It is the aim of this firm to give the highest type of service to their customers and the installation of this type of egg grader is just following out their general policy. There are often-times methods used in an effort to win in sports that are not exactly "sporting."
