Hazel Magee Died Friday Afternoon Miss Hazel Magee of the eighth line, Artemesia pasesd away in a Toronto hospital on Friday afternoon, August 7th, from injuries received in an accident while assisting her brother, Gerald, with th harvest. The accident occurred the Monday evening previous, when she walked out on the tongue of the wagon to disengage the lines from the end of the tongue, when the horses suddenly started ahead throwing her to the ground. The wheels of the wagon half loaded with grain passed ovei her body, breaking her back and sev- eral ribs and causing internal injur- ies. She was taken to Markdale hos- pital that night and on Tuesday to a specialist in Toronto, but nothing could be done for her. Her condition gradually became worse and the fam- ily was called to her bedside Thursday evening. She passed away early Friday afternoon. Hazel was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Garnet Magee of Collingwood and was born- on the farm now occu- pied by her brother. Gerald, nineteen years ago. She attended Feversham continuation School and was working on the farm to qualify for her Middle School certificate. She was popular among the young people of the com- munity and her sudden passing undei such tragic circumstances is felt keenly by a hoet of friends. Beside? her parents she leaves one sister. Fern (Mrs. Glen Pedlar) of Niagara Falls, Ont., and four brothers Stan- ley of Eugenia, Clinton of Maxwell Gerald on the home farm and Delber' of Collingwood. The funeral took place Monday afternoon, when service was conduct- ed by Rev. Dr. G. L. Mercer, pastoi of Eugenia United Church, who de- livered a most comforting messag. to the sorrowing family on "She is not dead but sleepeth." The church choir rendered beautifully "Face To Face." Interment was made in Flesherton Cemetery. The pallbearers were Wm. Hanley. Ben Hanley. Bryce Hanley. P. j. Somers. Wes Jamieson and Kil- bourne Hawkins. The many beautiful floral offer- ings were carried by close friends and school chums: Blanche Long Mrs. McQuay, Irene Hudson, Norma Maxwell, Eleanor McKenzie, Shirley Maxwell, Phyllis Hudson, Velma Smith, Laverne Smith, Pat Bemrose Lois Williams and Dolly Ottewell. Salvage Wanted From Rural M District Owing to the rationing of gasoline and the shortage of tires it is found impossible for the salvage commit- tee to go out into the country to collect salvage, which is so greatly needed at the present time. If yon have any rubber, iron, magazines or paper, place it in your car and bring it to town with you. Scrap material is needed, and that is one way yon can aid the war effort. Place all rubber material in a bag, inner tubes, tires, water bottles and any i rubber tie the paper or magazines | in bundles not larger than 50 Ibs, iro and rags may be placed in cardboard boxes separately. Material done up in this manner makes it much easier for the salvage com- mittee to handle. Leave all dona- tions with Bob Phillip* at the harn- ess shop. Proceeds of the sale of j scrap will be used by the Flesherton- i Artemesia Red Cross Branch. Papers Will Continue Since the war broke out, the editor of this payer has been sending free of charge to the boys from this 'is- trict who are in the various services, a copy of The Advance each issue. This service has been given at a consideraole cost to ourselves, but it has been appreciated by the boys who are away from home, ready to fight our battles. Recently the gov- ernment has given notice that on August 10th the sending of parcels of papers overseas was being pro- hibited. This has been interpreted in some instances as applying to newspaper offices as well. Post- master Banks has informed us that he has had no notification that the papers from newspaper offices are to be refused mailing privileges, but applies only to individuals. We will continue to send The Advance over- seas until we receive further word to the contrary and the boys will continue to receive the news from home direct from this office. Old Hay Loader Mr. Wilfred Lever of Toronto Line North has an old hay loader that has given wonderful service during the years. The hay loader was purchased by his father, the late J. A. Lever, in the summer of 1900 and this year has taken off its 43rd crop of hay.

Grant, and the Sequoisa National Parks, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, the painted desert, the meteor crater, the fossil forest and the Mammoth Caves. Kentucky. The entire trip was made by motor bus. and totalled about 7.000 miles. Mr. Pontland reports that the tourist trade at those points is very slight this year, the reason being that the Americans are too busy with war work to tke their usual vacation. Teewatr streets have been re- mirfaed with chipped tone and tar. VILLAGE COUNCIL The regular meeting of Fleoher- ton Council was held on Tuesday evening of last week, at which the Council passed the bylaw in regard to the tax rates for the year 1942 As the assessment is lower than the previous year and the high school, public library and board of health requirements higher, and with a small reduction in public gchool re- quirements, it necessarily followed that the rate is slightly in advanc of that of last year. The total mills are 45.2, white that of the previous year was 43.5. Considerable work hs been done on the streets and s-idewalks of the village this year, and they are now in 8ood condition. Reports from army camps reveal clean feet and clean gocks keep blh- ters at a minimum.
