Heavy rains Monday afternoon and night swelled the rivers in this district to overflowing and in many places the water on low lying land flooded the highways to a consider- able depth. The storm was accom- panied by thunder and lightning. The Feversham mail was unable to get through on Tuesday, due to deep water over the road in front of the farm of Mr. M. Gould, one mile south of Feversham. This Wednes- day the water had not receded to any extent and Mr. Laurie Sewell, the mail carrier, toted the mail bags around the little lake and Jim Kirk- patrick, Kinrberley carrier, met him and brought the mail through to Flesherton. Two days' mail in one. The return mail for the Osprey dis- trict was conveyed in the same manner. Tuesday evening snow again fell with colder weather and the high water retreated. Water flowed over the Proton sideroad, just east of Proton, but there was no amount of damage done. Other places the roadway was washed out. The Late George W.

McNichol, Pastor Feversham Appointment Sunday School it a.m. Sunday Mrning Service 11. Sunday Evening Service 7.30. Olivet Appointment Service at 3 p.m. The editor of Port Elgin Times, after a recent visit to Ottawa, tells there is a well founded rumor going the rounds in Ottawa that after a cooling off period Mr. Mcighen will again seek to obtain a seat in Parl- iament, and that Hon. Earl Rowe will step aside to give him a second chance. If this happens the Port Elgin paper thinks it would not be surprising to find Agnes Maophail running on the C.C.F. t'cket against Mr. Meighen, and the the Times predicts should this prove to be a fact, Miss Macphail will soon be back in the halls of parliament aerain. where she served her riding well for many years.

Need Different System (Creemore Star) One of the disadvantages of the highway snow plows is that they create a trough or channel and when the weather turns mild this trough holds the water. A local patrol man with a shovel could soon cut chann- els and release this wa4/er, but when no one on the spot has any author- ity it is just too bad for the motor- ists. The County Road Commission could very well look to the system so successful on the railroads and adopt a similar setup. As soon a< flood conditions are in evidence on the railroad, the track men patrol their beat and, as the old saying goes, "a stitch in time saves nine." A few minutes with a shovel at the right time can prevent much dam- age and at the same time keep the roads reasonably passable instead of hazardous. SERVICE BY CREAMERY UURING SPRING SEASON On Friday, March 20th, and each Friday following until the roads are in shape, the Flesherton Creamery truck will be at Priceville at 10 a.m. and at the Old Durham Road at 10.15 a.m., and at Six Corners at 10.30 a.m., to pick up any eggs or cream that you wish to bring out.

Flew Plane Over his Old Home (By 8th Line, Osprey, Reporter) Considerable excitement prevailed in our midst on Wednesday, March 4th, when in the quiet of the beauti- ful morning a low flying plane was heard and seen hovering near, and we greeted as best we could L.A.C. Arthur Lawler, stationed at Hag- ersville, who is now realizing his boyhood ambition to become an aviator. Although airplanes go o'er very often, it gave us all a particu- lar thrill when we knew it was one of our home boys who was guiding the machine so gracefully and en- circling his old home three times. Arthur is to receive his wings in the near future, and his friends here wish him success and safety.

Ry. are conducting experiments aimed at the development of 100,000,000 tons of lignite deposits on the James Bay plateau, 125 miles north of Coehrane. This formation, which is the only commercial coal deposit in Ontario, has yielded 12.000,000 tone already, he said, and results have been encouraging. Mr. Nixon point- ed out that similar deposits in Sask- atchewan have been exploited suc- cessfully after dehydrating, which is n-ecessary before the lignite can be used as fuel. Could such a source of fuel be successfully de- veloped, it would be of immense value to Ontario and would, to a considerable extent, reduce the im- mense amount of fuel which we have to buy from the United States at ever - increasing ' prices.

ONE-PANT SUITS DO NOT SAVE CLOTH I see by one of the metropolitan public prints that there is a possi- bility or probability that no long- er will a man be able to buy an extra pair of 'pants with a suit. Doubtless this idea is due to a be- lief that such action would save cloth, but I opine it will merely WASTE cloth. Men who buy an extra pair of pants with a suit do so because they have found from experience that they wear out two pairs of pants for every one coat and vest. If such customers are restricted to buying one-pant suits, it will mean that the not result will be that they will use just the same number of trousers as heretofore, but TWICE as many coats and vests Bracefr>ridpe Gaectte. A production limit 'has alrpady been placed on copper base silvr plate and now the cheaper silvpr- plated articles are going off the market, owinpr to restrictions on tin.
