So far as Durham was concerned, Victoria Day was quiet. There was no celebration locally, and although a few surrounding towns had sports events, even these didn't seem to enthuse the citizenry very much. A few went to Owen Sound, a few to Walkerton, but in the main the majority lined up on the banks of the river in an attempt to get a resrved position amongst the throng of outsiders who came in for the day. There were more fishermen than fish, and we are told the catch Absence of Celebration Sent Pleasure Judging by the interest taken in the series last fall there should be a good crowd on hand to see the locals in ac- tion against the Owen Sound team which is reputed to be a high-class ag- gregatlon.

PASSED QUIETILY 61 75 DURHAM, ONTARIO, CANADA, THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1932 In between the tomato plants lettuce of both early and late types can be sown. One or two rows of beans are advisable as these yield very heavily for the amount of space taken up. Make two plantings, about two or three weeks apart. Fifteen inches is sufficient between rows. Swiss chard will supply a huge quan- tity of greens. The inner stalks are used like asparagus and the leaves like spinach. Onions could be included in the small garden and only need about eight inches between the rows. Dahllas Should Be Staked In the flower lines, hot weather things, in order of planting, run about as follows: Gladiolus, dahlias. and can- In the vegetable group will come to- matoes, the main planting of cabbage, egg plants, lima beans, water and musk melons, cucumber and celery. The main planting of the latter should not go in much before July otherwise it will come on too early for fall use or storage. Cos lettuce, Chinese cabbage and other fall salad craps are planted in June or Ju- ly and the same is true of table tur- nips. Every housewife realizes the advan- tages of maintaining one’s own vege- table garden, but many would-be gar- deners are discouraged because of the small plot of land available. Fresh vegetables may be purchased the year round yet several hours, or more often several days, must elapse after they have been removed from the grower’s fields before they are served in the home. Modern methods of cold stor- age and transportation have removed many of the difficulties in marketing vegetables, although it is doubtful if anything has been devised that will equal the satisfaction obtained from home gardens. A great deal can be grown on a small piece of ground. It is remark- able the amount that can be produced in a plot 20 feet square. Sufficient to- matoes for a small family will be grown on six or eight plants. These should be staked and may be set eigh- teen inches apart. Six-foot stakes, set close to the plant, are used. Pinch of! all side shoots from the plant, train- ing the single main stem along the pole and tie at intervals of a foot. Each week side shoots should be nipped ,ofi. Spinach Heavy Yielder Carrots and beets will give very good returns and should have from twelve to fifteen inches between rows. Spin- ach is also a heavy yielder and as it comes on early is out of the way be- fore the later vegetables require full room. On this acount it,. as well as lettuce and radish, can be planted in between the rows of carrots, beans, beets and tomatoes. Corn takes up quite a lot of room, but as it is never quite as good as when fresh from the garden, it is well to include it. It yields an average of three cobs to every two stalks and may be planted in hills about a foot apart. Along the fences one can grow melons, cucumbers, pole beans, squash and similar trailing things. Peas require rather too much room for the very small garden as at least 50 feet of row will be required to give meals for a small family. has in bulbs, tubers or such things. asters and petunias.

An incipient blaze occurred at the home of Mrs. Sullivan on Albert street about 11 o’clock on the morning of the 24th, caused by some carelessly depos- ited ashes igniting a part adjoining the frame building. The brigade turned out and subdued the blaze before any damage was done.

Safe Now To Plant Beans, Carrots, Beets SMALL FIRE ON TUESDAY Canadians are very fond of prepared breakfast cereals, and according to most recent statistics consumed nearly six million dollars worth of such prepared cereals in 1930. This was in addition to large quantities of old-fashioned por- ridge made out of oatmeal and rolled oats.

Court of Revision Met Monday in Town Hall When Assessments As Turned in by Asessor Were Sustained Except in One Instance. The finding of over $1,000 in silver by a West Garafraxa young farmer last week is now a matter of history. The finder, James Broadfoot, has de- posited it in a Fergus bank until it can be learned what can be legally done with the money, and until this is done the matter remains at a standstill. The following interesting dispatch ap- peared in yesterday’s Toronto Mail and Empire, and is from Galt: ' “Interesting sldelights in connection with discovery of an old crock contain- ing over $1,000 in ancient silver coins by James Broadfoot, a young farmer of West Garatraxa last week, were re- counted today by W. S. MacDonald, Ball avenue. Mr. MacDonald was born and raised on ‘a farm near that of Broadfoot’s and the find stirred up recollection of former days. Between 1840 and 1875 the Broadfoot farm was owned by a Mr. Olipaugh, who was somewhat of a character in that sec- tion. He carried on the life of a trap- per with lines placed out between Guelph and Owen Sound, and many tales were built around his trips through the bush, in those days inhab- ited by Indians. It was common legend that there was money hidden on the Olipaugh farm, although as far as Mr. MacDonald could remember no dhe ever carried out a systematic search of the farm." ONLY ONE CHANGE IN Since organized many years ago the local lodge has held forth in rented chambers, but with the purchase and refitting of the old McKechnie block, they have now a home of their own, and said to be one of the best in West- ern Ontario. Ever since the deal was closed some months ago almost. con- tinuous work has gone on in fitting up the new building, which has now ev- erything required by the society, which entertains as well three or four other societies on a rental basis. It is a credit to the society and to the town. 1.0.0.5: Hall 0mm! Dedication by Grand Lodge Ofllcers Opens New Era in Odd Fellowship in Durhamâ€"One of the Best Halls in Western Ontario, Is Verdict.

YOUNG One of the earliest settlers of Unity district, Ernest Bell Young, passed away at his residence in Unity on Wednesday, May 11, after a long and trying illness. Deceased was the son of the late Mr. A. G. Young, he was born at Dur- ham, Ontario, May 27, 1886, and later moved with his parents to Superior, Wis, where he received his education. In 1903 they moved to Winnipeg, for several years he and his father were engaged in railroading contracting un- der the name of A. G. Young and Son. In 1908 they moved to Unity where they commenced farming on a large scale and of which they made a decided suc- way and highway construction. At Toronto in 1910 Mr. Young was married to Eva L. Banks of Durham, Ontario, and he and his bride took up residence on their farm at Unity. He was a member of the 1.0.03. and A.F.A.M. Lodges. In religion he was an adherent of the Presbyterian church and later of the United church. Willis was handling flew back and hit him a clout on the forehead that took several stitches to close. He was able to be about his business the next day, although he looked rather groggy, and in a few days more will have fully re- covered. In the construction of roads in this province and also in the province of Alberta he has left substantial work which has materially aided in the de- velopment of this country, and which will stand as a monument to his mem- ory. Anyone running into B. H. Willis these days might be excused for sup- posing he was joining up with some of the Eastern tribes and adOpting the turban or veil, or a combination. Such. however, is not the case.

The late Dr. Carson taught school here when a young man, having charge of the school at Hutton Hill about 50 years ago. He left Durham and went to Guelph, subsequently entering the min- istry for some years and later graduat- ing as a physician. He had been a resi- dent of the West for many years. He was twice married and is survived by his second wife, one son and one daugh- ter. He is also survived by one brother, Thomas Carson, in the West, three sis- ters, Mrs. Hopkins (AL), in Saskatoon; Mrs. Cameron (May), in the West, and Mrs. Belfry (Sadie), in Victoria. Besides his widow, he leaves to mourn his loss one son, Archie and tour daugh- ters, Patricia, Betty, June and Elinor. The funeral was held on Sunday, May 15, in the Auditorium under the aus- pices of the I.0.0.F.. No. 71 Unity and was conducted by the Rev. J. Hender- son of the United church.
