Proprietor« h * • Artemesia Council The Council of the Township of Artemesia met at the Council Cham- bers, Flesherton, on the 9th day of October. The members were all pre- sent, the Reeve presiding. The min- utes of the last meeting were read and on motion adopted. Dr. Murray of Markdale presented a bill for medical attention on Mrs. Jones. The Clerk was instructed to write to Dr. Murray that the Council objected to the payment of the bill. Claims for sheep killed by dogs and duly valued, payment was ordered, viz,: F. R. Genoe, one sheep $6, Claude Akins, one pedgreed ram |18, Wm. Swanton one sheep and one lamb $25, and John Campbell valuing sheep $3, and Clare Foster for valuing sheep $1. Several agents for snow fence waited on Council regarding purchase of snow fence. The Council decided not to purchase at the present time. David Adams was refunded |5.24, being an error in his assessment for 1938. The Reeve, Clerk and Assessor were paid |3 each for selecting jurors for 1940. The Road Superintendent presented his ninth pay list for work on roads, which, on motion, was ordered accept- ed and the amounts paid. The Council adjourned to meet the second Monday in November. â- ^WT High Production Cow (By Eugenia Correspondent) Mr. Stanley Campbell purchased a cow a few weeks ago and put her out to pasture on his farm in the valley. Thursday last he visited the farm and found that the cow had given birth to a fine black calf. He brought the cow and calf to his poperty in the village. Upon returning to his valley farm on Saturday he discovered an- other calfâ€" a little red fellow â€" all by itself. It had wandered away from its mother and mate, but it was none the worse for its two-day experience of being alone in this big world. The covir apparently believes in profiteer- ing in war times. Stanley, if you'd look around again in a few days yon might flind another calif; probably there were triplets. ENGAGEMENT Mr. and Mrs. Richard Allen an- nounce the engagement of their daughter, Merle Robert, to Mr. Marvin Melrose Londry of Georgetown, son of Mr. and Mrs. Reginald Londry, the marriage to take place quietly the latter part of October. ST. COLUMBA CHURCH PRICEVILLE St. Columba Chureh, Prieeville, will celebrate its 51st anniversary with special services next Sunday at H a.m. and 7.30 p.m. Dr. George Mercer of Maxwell is the morning speaker, and Rev. Louis Pickering, Hanover, preacher in the evenipg. Special music has been arranged, including the Salem male quartette at both services. Rev. F. A. Leitch Dies Word was received by friends in of the death of Rev. Dr. Frederick A. Leitch, who died in Palmer Memorial Hospital, Brooklyn, N.Y., after a long illness, at the age of 77 years. Rev. Leitch was a former Flesherton boy, known to some of the older residents, and left Flesherton many years ago. He leaves a son, four sisters and two daughters. His home was at Spring- field, Mass. Rev. Leitch retired from the pastorate of Trinity Methodist Church of Springfield, Mass., in 1930, after a number of years of service in that charge. The Carillon, Trinity church paper, has the following to say regarding Rev. Dr. Leitch: "Dr. Leitch loved the gospel of Christ, and he loved to preach it. He was as concerned and energetic in the service of Trinity as if it were his full pastoral responsibility. He called J regularly on our sick, his evangelistic zeal never faltered, and Sunday morn- ing would find him prepared and eager to take his place in the chancel. Few of us will ever forget his inspired reading of the Scripture." ANNIVERSARY SERVICE ROCK MILLS CHURCH Anniversary service will be held in the Rock Mills Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 29, at 3 o'clock, _ when Rev. R. G. Quiggan, B.A., o7 the First Church, Owen Sound, will be the special preacher. Mr. Quiggan has been very much in demand, since his coming to Owen Sound, as an Anniversary speaker and his coming to Rock Mills will be a real treat for the people of this community. The choir will render special music, and the pastor will be in charge of the service. A welcome awaits every one. Possibly the time a man spends feel- ing peeved because he hasn't manag- ed to please everybody would be a heap better employed giving thanks that he doesn't have more brickbats heaved his way. Pat Byrne Remanded Patrick Byrne appeared in police court in Owen Sound Thursday morn- ing last and was remanded by Magis- trate Spereman until Oct. 19tb. He was charged with breaking and enter- ing Gardner's hardware store at Dun- dalk and committing therein an indict- able offence, theft. Byrne is alleged to also, have entered F. G. Karstedt's store in Flesherton and ^aken goods. The request for the remand was made by Provincial Canstable H. Black of Flesherton.

(Collingwood paper please copy) Results of Testing in County of Grey So many farmers have asked re- garding the results of testing while in School and Fall Fair work that a summary is enclosed herewith. A week is that seven day period which extends from Thursday morning until Wednesday night. No. of Total No. Week Herds No. of Re- Infected Ending Tested Cattle actors Herds August .... 19 1530 82 21 Sept. 6 .... 31 413 9 6 Sept. 13 .. 29 409 34 10 Sept. 20 .. 12 305 1 1 Sept. 27 .. 48 803 25 7 Oct. 4 58 892 22 6 The totals to date are: No. of herds 283 No. of cattle 4352 No. of reactor.s 173 No. of infected „ premises 51 It will thus be seen that only about one barn in 20 will have to be cleaned and disinfeeted. There is also only 2.5 per cent of the cattle infected, which is a most favoi-able result. Dr. G. P. McKenzie, V.S., is in charge of an office opened in Chesloy by the Health of Animals Branch. The testing work in Grey County will be directed from this point. It is hoped that additional Veterinary In- .spectors will be sent to Grey County soon.

' Another lucky escape from a hor- rible death occurred when eight-year- old Billy McClean, son of Mrs. Sackett, j and the late Hugh McLean wa.s helping to pick mangles for Mr. Chas. l Best. The load had been taken to the 1 barn and Mi' Best had wrapped the i lines around the wheel. The team feel- ing the pull of the lines began to back- up, the lines tightened and the team jumped backwards. The boy, who was between the wagon and a stone wall was in danger of being crushed. The fact that someone pulled the boy to .safety was all that saved him from very seriou.s injury. As it was he had ont elbowcap broken, bruised muscles, and abrasions.
