Page Four THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10th, 1935 VERNONVILLE October 8th, 1935 Residents of this vicinity are saddened to hear of the death of one of the early residents of this village, Mr. David Thompson of Albany, N.Y., and father of Mrs. Henry B. Harnden, to whom neighbourly sympathy is extended at her double sorrow, in the injury of her husband and death of her father. Rev. C. G. Graham visited friends in this neighbourhood on Monday last, bringing with him Mrs. George Cuth-bert, Mrs. Jack Cuthbert and Mrs. Pettibone of Lakeport, to visit their brother, Mr. Henry Harnden, who was seriously hurt in a motor accident in Grafton on Sunday last, but who is making a good recovery at time of Colonel Odell called on the School on Wednesday last, arriving at the same time as Miss Rosevear, and he strongly advocated the commencement of the music course for our school. Mr. Ralph Smith of Cobourg visited friends in this neighbourhood on Monday last. Mr. B. D. Woodruff of Timmins is visiting in the neighbourhood. A large number from here attended Colborne Pair on Tuesday lest. The school exhibits won $3.00 in cash prizes. Radford and George Salisbury and Victor Hart were among the prize winners. This branch of the Women's Institute also won a first prize in the untilization of flour sacks. The members of the United Church held their annualy church, ground and shed cleaning "Bee" on Thursday last. It has been a delicate matter on their part to suggest to those who by financial assistance , and labour helped in the erection of the sheds, that horses are not welcome for temporary feeding in the shed where they now serve suppers, and .after the "bee" on Thursday, this notice appeared on the wall outside the shed door: "Notice--Horses not allowed to dine in sheds. By order. The Board of Managers." We trust this notice will receive the respect it deserves. Miss Bernice Larry is returning to Pe'erboro this week, after spending the summer here. Born, at Cobourg General Hospital, on Thursday, October 3rd, 1935, to Mr. and Mrs. George Burleigh, twin daughters. Mrs. Spray Wilson is home, after visiting at her brother's in Baltimore. One young hopeful spent an afternoon in interesting work when he assisted at Mr. Joe Calnan's large poultry houses in the catching of the fowls for examination and blood test, which was taken by poultry men from Gomlph. Miss Annie Harnden was in Colborne oh Saturday last, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Samis, where she acted as bridesmaid at the marriage of their eldest daughter, Pearl, to Mr. Alfred Tripp of Centreton. Mr. Joseph Calnan spent Friday last in Toronto. "Never," said Uuncle Silas, "never," as he swatted with the local paper a fly that was practising a fox trot on his bald head, "never will the radio take the place of the newspaper, you can't swat a flly with a radio." RE-ELECT And Send Back to Ottawa for Another term W. A. Fraser The People's Candidate Who has won an enviable reputation as the representative for Northumberland at Ottawa W. A. Fraser, who represented NorthumberBand County in the Federal Parliament, has again consented to offer his services to the people of this riding. Five years ago, Mr. Fraser was elected by the people because they saw in him a man of integrity, a man whose honesty of purpose was undoubted, a man whom they felt would do his utmost to defend and better the rights of the people he represented. In 1930 Mr. Fraser undertook to protect and to promote anything that would be of benefit to the people of Northumberland County, regardless of political leanings. He stood for principle before personal or party interests. He was out for what he deemed was right, and in spite of being on the opposite side of the House, he has accomplished much of lasting benefit. Mr. Fraser is again in the field along with representatives from the Conservative, C. C. F. and Stevens parties. Comparisons are odious, but one cannot help but compare the record of Mr. Fraser, Northumberland's Liberal candidate, with other aspirants for political honours, Mr.' Fraser is a man of energy and ability, he gets things done, he is a live wire who puts his heart and soul into everything he undertakes. Mr. Fraser is a man of his word. A promise made is as binding as a signed legal document. If he says he will do a thing he does it, and without delay. He is the personification of energy and enterprise. The people of this county need a man of Mr. Fraser's proved ability and, experience. Men who have been tried before and found wanting, or newcomers With more ambition than brains or experience, are not going to help the people of Northumberland to enjoy better times. More than ever before a strong man is wanted to represent this county at Ottawa, and that man is "Billy" Fraser. The Liberal Government is going into power as sure as there are stars in the sky. Let us have a man in parliament who sits on the right side of the fence. Vote for "Billy" Fraser, a man who has proved his worth, and insure a square deal for good old Northumberland County. W. A. FRASER has served the citizens of Northumberland faithfully . : Show your appreciation Vote Fraser! HEAR THE HONORABLE CHARLES A.

September Apple Report In Eastern Ontario apples generally have withstood the very dry weather during the past six weeks, and sizing up to near average. The apple orchard survey now in progress shows that those orchards where the two July cover sprays were applied thoroughly, are practically free from maggot and sideworm (codling moth) injury. Fruit orchards receiving the apple scab control spray are remarkably free of scab considering the adverse weather conditions in the form of heavy rains during the month of June. Crops on neglected orchards are practically unfit for sale. The early varieties of apples are showing a good colour. In Eastern Ontario Mcintosh and Snows will run 40% to 50% higher output than last season and Wealthy, Wolf River, Alexander, Baxter, and Scarlet Pippin will average 25% to 30% higher. The hardier winter varieties, Golden Russet, Salome, Northwestern Greening, and Cranberry Pippin are estimated to have 25% larger crops. The following winter varieties are extremely patchy and have very light crops, considerably under year: Baldwin, Spys, Stark, Gano, Ben Davis and Rhode Island Greenings G. M.

Farmers Offered Free Trip to Buy Cattle In order to encourage the winter feeding of cattle and lambs in Eas Canada, the Dominion Livestock Branch will pay the one way railway fare, tourist berth and living expenses, enroute from his home to the stockyards at which purchases are made and will pay hotel bills for a ret able time while purchases are being made to any Ontario farmers who purchase and bring back to Ontario one or more cars of feeder cattle or feeder lambs. This policy covers the purchase of cattle or lambs at the Moose Jaw Feeder sale on October 9th, 10th and 11th. " Stocker or feeder cattle and lambs purchased at any stockyards in Saskatchewan or Alebrta or 1 farmers in the previously mentioned Provinces. This policy is limited to the purchase of feeder and stocker calves, yearlings and two year olds not over 1,050 lbs. A. carload must include at least 20 head of cattle or 40 lambs Further details in connection with the Feeder Purchase Policy may be secured from the Agricultural Representative at Brighton., One Cross Only Voters Warned Ottawa, Sept. 24, 1935.--Although 'arious adaptions of proportional 'epresentation and the single transferable vote are used in some Provincial elections, the Dominion general election, Oct. 14, will be conducted on the traditional single vote sys- Except In two constituencies which lect two members, the electors will ave only one choice between the ontending candidates. They will lark an "X" opposite the name of the candidate they favor, and1 the candidate with the largest number of "X's" will be elected. There are no second or third choices. With the single-vote system in operation throughout the Dominion on election day, results will be available probably for all constituencies within a few hours of the closing of the polls. Protecting Potatoes from Frost In order to prevent losses to potatoes from low temperatures the crop should be harvested before the advent of heavy frosts. The potatoes should be stored in rooms having a temperature between 35 and 40 degrees F., thus preventing them from turning sweet and the development of necrosis. When potatoes are being transported during the winter months they should be carefully protected from frost. When it is known that potatoes have been undercooled do not handle them until it is certain that the temperature is above freezing point. Two insect pest outbreaks have been dealt with by the staff of the Dominion Entomological Laboratory at Chatham, Ontario. Sod webworms were abundant throughout southwestern Ontario, injuring lawns and golf courses and feeding rather extensively on field crops. At the same time the spotted cutworm was in outbreak form, particularly affecting white clover and sugar beets. According to reports from Manitoba, present indications point to a marked general reduction in the number of grasshoppers next year, although concentrations of the insect are expected in certain definite areas.
