WILSON DIED THURSDAY lAST Well-known Glenelg Lady Passed Away at Her Home at Homimon’s Corners After Short Illness. After a comparatively short illness from hardening of the arteries and complications. Mrs. Archibald Wil- son passed away at her home two miles south of here Thursday after- noon at 1 o’clock. Mrs. Wilson had been ailing for the past six months, but it was only three weeks ago that her ccmdition was regarded as serâ€" ious, and she took to bed, never re- gaining her strength. A young child of Mr. I. Tinianov narrowly escaped death last Friday evening about dusk when playing on the roadside in front of the home on Garafraxa Street. Mr. Thomas Wlilson was driving south on Gara- fraxa Street. en route to the home of his father at McClinton’s Corners where the remains of his mother lay awaiting burial on Saturday, when he spied the little one on the roadway. Sounding his horn, he pulled to the centre of the road, but the child had evidently become confused and wheeling about. ran toward the centre of the street. With great presence of mind, Mr. Wilson swerved his car on to the sidewalk and missed the child by D little thing down. Mrs. W ilson. who was in her 68th year, was born in Brantford, and when a young girl, came to Ben- tinck with her parents, settling on the Durham Road three miles east of Durham. Fifty-one years ag she was married to Mr. Archibald il- son, who survives. Following their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson took up farming and have. been residents of Bentinck and (ilenelg Townships ever since, linally moving to the farm at McClinton’s Corners five years ago. To them were born fourteen chil- dren, eleven of whom are still liv- ing, as follows: M18. D. McKech- nie (Margaret, Duxham; Mrs. F. Harpe (Elizabeth), Stratford; Mrs. William Martin (Carrie). Durham; Mrs. J. Cluney (Martha), Galt; Mrs. Joseph \V‘ilsc‘m (Pearl). Egremont; W. T., in Egremont; and Robert, Ar- thur, George and Archie in Glenelg. The funeral was held Saturday afternoon to Durham cemetery, the Rev. J. A. Taylor of the Baptist Church having charge of the ser- vice at both house and grave. The pail-bearers were her live sons and son-in-law, Messrs. Thomas, Robert, Arthur, George and Archie Wilson, and Mr. Joseph Wilson of Egremont. Young Child of I.

NARROW ESCAPE WHILE PLAYING 0N ROADSIDE The Chmnicnle extends sympathy to the famlly 1n thew bereavement. on; , uuu DURHAM, ONTARIO, CANADA, THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1925. It was a great shock to the editor of this paper when he was informed earl Wednesday morning of the sud en death the previous evening of Mr. Joseph Blackburn of Flesher- ton, for the past 29 years the effi- cient correspondent of this paper from that village. It was only last Thursday afternoon that we called on him and little we thought then that it would he the last time we should clasp his hand and listen to his cheery voice. Mr. Blackburn was one of the best men we ever knew, and though an invalid for the past 36 years, we never knew him to be anything but cheerful, and a visit to his home was never anything but a pleasure. It was in 1889 that he contracted the influenza, or la grippe as it was called in those days, and he was practically bedfast ever since, though during the later years, he has been able to move about his home and on warm days in summer, could venture occasionally outside, a privilege he enjoyed to the full. During the past winter, he has been a great sufferer from eye trouble, and though he suffered excruciating pain, he was never known to com- plain. PASSED AWAY TUESDAY AFTER LONG ILLNESS Mr. Joseph Blackburn, Flesherton Correspondent of The ChrOnicle, Died Sudddnly Tuesday Evening While Preparing to Retire .â€"Pnn- eral Takes Place Tomorrow to Pleaherton Cemetery. Though not informed of the par- ticulars of Mr. Blackburn’s sudden death, we understand he was pre- paring to retire when he took a weak spell and passed away in a few moments. While he was ill for so long a time and not able to en- gage in active employment, it may he truly said that he died in har- ness, as this issue of The Chronicle contains his regular weekly contri- bution. received in this office only a few hours before his death. Our sympathy goes out to Mrs. Black- burn in her bereavement, and though death was a happy release from a lifetime of suffering, she will sorely miss the familiar, kindly face of her beloved life partner whose whole life was a shining example of the true Christian fellowship that man on earth is supposed to live. Though most of us are sighing for the good old summer time, and the weather of June, July and August. we must remember that the season this year is approximately a month ear- ly and that there is plenty of time yet for all the hot weather we may desire. Crops at present, are prom- ising, and it is to be hOped present expectations may be realized. It is upwards of 20 years ago since Mr. Dewar was in Durham, when he was a very pOpular citizen and took a keen interest in the affairs of the community. After leaving Durham, he rose in the banking profession until he was appointed manager of the branch at Deseronto, subse- quently resigning this position to accept the managership of the Dom- iIlliOn Match factory at the same p ace. _ Mr. Blackburn was born near Flesherton nearly 70 years ago, and when a young man, entered the em- ploy of the late M. K. Richardson, a position he held until stricken down by illness. About forty years ago, he was married to Miss Ella Ayers, daughter of the late Rev. "Mr. Ayers, formerly of Flesherton, who survives, and who has been during all his years of sickness, his best comfort and most constant and willing attendant.

Up to a month ago, Mrs. McGowan was in her usual health, and while at first her indisposition was not regarded as serious, as time went on, it was seen that she could not recover, and members of the fam- ily were sent for, all of whom, with the exception of Mrs. Andrew Dale of McGee, Sask., unavoidably pre- vented from coming East, arrived in time to be present with their mother in her last illness.

The deceased, who would have been 70 years of age on the 16th of next August, was born in Nor- manby Township, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John McGrath. Here he sgient his youth and young man- hoo , and was married in Mount Forest to Miss Catharine McAulifl'e. The young couple subsequently moved to Glenelg Township about 42 years ago, where they engaged in farming near St. John's Church.

Mr. McGrath was a man of integ- rity, honest in all his dealings with the public, and had a wide circle of friends who will join with his family in sincerely mourning his departure.

Morrison, Egg Inspector, London. Ontario. af- ter he had spent, upwards of an hour explaining the recentlf adopted Egg Grading A_cL about w iirh so much MERCHANTS T0 ENFORCE PROVISIONS OF EGG GRADING ACT . Mr. Morrison was here on the bus- iness of the Dominion Department of Agriculture, and in the course of his address, went fully into an ex- planation of the workings of the Act. One thing he was very clear Upon was the fact that henceforth the Egg Grading Act was to be enforced by the Government, and he advised the merchants present to take heed and not to blame anyone but them- selves if they were hailed to court and made pay a fine for purchasing or selling ungraded aggs. So far, he said, the Government had been very lenient, but from now on, there was to he no more foolingâ€"mer- chants must fully make up their minds to abide by the provisions of the Act or pay the penalty. The Government did not. force any mer- chant to buy eggs, but if they did, they must be bought on a graded basis. There was to he no more side-stepping the issue. Prosocnto All Glendon During the discussion here, one of the merchants said that he thought it rather unfair for the Gov- ernment to make towns like Dur- ham live up to the egg grading re- quirements while smaller centres throughout the country were still buying and selling in the same old way and apparently getting away with it. Mr. Morrison assured the gathering that this was going to be looked after from now on. It was hard to.get the Act working smooth. ly in so short a time, but from new on, anyone who dealt in eggs must comply with the regulations, get out of business or be fined if caught. The Government was making abso- lutely no discrimination in the mat- ter. The speaker gave. a demonstration in egg grading and showed that with a little practice, anybody could soon become proficient and, with little extra effort, grade all eggs ontoring the store. One thing he noticed in Durham and which he called to the atten- tion of the local merchants was the absence of the chart display sent out by the Government. These charts had been sent out as part. of the educative campaign. and it was one of the requirements of the Act. that they be prominently dis- played. This was apparently neg- letced in Durham and was one of the provisions of the Act that must be_complie_d with.

Dealing further with the Act~ Mr. Morrison made it plain that the Egg Grading Act was not as bad as a lot. of people thought, and that the Government was not out for the pur- pose ol‘ prosecuting anyone. What they wanted was the assurance of the merchants that they would eo- operate with them in the grading of eggs. The Government did not ex- pect the grading to be perfect. and the mere fact. that a case of eggs was wrongly graded did not mean that prosecution would follow. An honest attempt. to grade eggs was all that was demanded. and if any inspector drOpped in unexpectedly and found mistakes in grading, he would show the merchant where he was wrong and expect him to do better next time. The Government was prepared to give merchants all the help they needed in the grad- ing, but insisted that they make an honest attempt to abide by the Act. Failing this, they would prosecute.
