At the annual meeting of the but. ferin U.F.O., held recently at the Town Hall, Shelhurne. a decision was made in favor of “broadening out.” There was quite a discussion of the question or revising the by- laws, but finally the clause restrict- ing the membership to "anyone dir- ectly interested in farming" was changed to “anyone directly interest- ed in farming or who approves of the Farmers’ platform." The Arena Rats and the Bearcats are down for an hour‘s gruelling to- night, commencing at 7.45, when they appear in the first game of the new town league formed last week. As a general thing a cat can trim a rat, but the Rats on this Arena team are big fellows and will not make an easy meal. The losers in tO-night’s game will play 011' next week with the Terriers. The series is creating a lot of interest and some good hock- ey will be .played. The game starts at 7.4.} and the admission is 250. and De. And it will be worth the price. The Durham Furniture Company is obliged to work a night shift in order to conserve waterpower. They have eleotric wwer of their own generated at the Rocky. but of late. owing to low water. the power is not sufficient to run the whole plant during the nine hours of each day’s operation. To overcome this short- age they work part of the plant dur- ing the day and have a night shift, from 5 p.m. to 2.30 am. This is the first time in the history or the plant when there was a shortage of power. In addition to their own private power, they are using additional power from the Hydro. After a thaw they‘ll have plenty of power and be able to go back again to all day work. The Mona: Farm Sold. Mr. David Robinson of Hampden.

A generation ago a load of pine legs would be a common sight in this part. of the country. but a pine log is seldom seen nowadays. Yes- terday afternoon. however, we. saw a line of seven teams, loaded with logs. all pine. To make sure our eyes were not. deceiving us we asked Jack Queen, who was on one of the loads. what kind of timber it was and our opinion was confirmed when he told us it was pine. The timber was the property of Mr. Queen and was being delivered to J. Levine‘s sawmill at the west corporation limits. The Saugeen is Low. A Rare Sight These Days. DURHAM, ONTARIO, CANADA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1923 Durham’s next big ice Carnival is to be held on Wednesday, February 21. An exceptionally good list of high-class prizes that will be worth competing for and a large entry of maskers is expected. Amongst the several events is a Centipede race. This will furnish a good many thrills before it is over. Other good features will be added. Watch for the bills; they will be out soon. And see the prize list in next week’s is- sue. Curlers Won Prom lonnt Forest. Three rinks of Durham curlers took advantage of the excursion to Palmerston rink last night and went down to Mount Forest to engage in a game with the besom and stane artists of that town. The rinks were 16 up on the total play, the only rink to lose being down 6 shots. ’l‘he local High school hockey team heat. Markdale on the rink here last Thursday evening 8 to l. and though the score was rather lobsitted the game was the best seen here so far this season. .‘ilal'ktlale opened the scoring in the tirst period and for a time it looked as it‘ the locals would have their hands full. The Markdale team. however, with the exception of the first. periotl, were outplayed. and while the Durham counters were all earned goals. the Markdale team had quite as much of the puck as the locals. They however could not penetrate the Durham defense and at times when they did get in on the nets became confused and shot wide. An unfortunate accident happened in the second period when in a mix-up one of the Durham play- ers fell and his skate cut a gash in a Markdale player’s face that requir- ed three or four. stitches to close. While strenuous, the game was a clean exhibition, Referee Al. Saun- ders keeping both teams under con- trol and benching a player who in- fringed on the rules. The return game takes place in Markdale next Wednesday night. Next Carnival, February 21. Surrounded by relatives and friends to the number of about 80, Mr. and Mrs. John Ward of Kemble celebrated the 50th anniversary of their wedding on Monday last. They were married on the 4th of Febru- ary, 1873 and since then spent the greater part of their married life in the Township of Keppel. The at- tendance at the ceremony was so large that it was necessary to repair to the basement of the Methodist Church to find accommodation. Here the pastor, Rev. Mr. Matthews. a nat- ive of Durham vicinity, took charge of the proceedings, when a delight- ful banquet and program were dis- posed of. Mrs. Ward is 73 years of age and Mr. Ward will be 80 in June. They were presented with two handsome chairs. gifts from the pe0ple of the vicinity. Four grand- children were baptized at the close of the ceremony. Colobnud Gouon Woddino. A complimentary banquet was tendered Warden Emerson Brown by the Board of Trade of Clarksburg, when about eighty were. present and had a very enjoyable time. Mr. J. H.

The toast list in- cluded that to the King, Canada and the. Empire, Our Guest. County of Grey, Agriculture, Learned Profes- sions, the Ladies, and the Press. The toast to the Warden was proposed by C. W. Hartman and t0 the County of Grey by Charles l’ye, both of whom have been almost lifelong res- idents of the village.

The Public school was visited first the presentation taking place in Miss Mchenzie‘s room, .-Mr. Gra- ham’s room also being present. After the singing of “O Canada" by the school, Mr. Graham made a few ap- propriate remarks, calling to mind specially the splendid work of the; Daughters of the Empire along edu- cational lines and that this was the second time the Chapter had pres- ented the school with a picture. He then called on the Regent, Mrs. Gil- bert McKeehnie, who came forward and gave an interesting paper on the life of the immortal Wolfe, the pic- ture presented being “The Death of Wolfe,” the painter of this special picture depicting this episode fol- lowing the battle of the Plains of Abraham, where Wolfe won Canada for the British Empire. We regret to learn that Mr. Daniel Edge is seriously ill of pneumonia and grave fears are entertained by friends and relatives. Mr. John Mor- rison and Mrs. Morrison have been confined to bed for a few days from influenza and kindred troubles but are now on the way to recovery. There is a great deal of sickness at present in and around town. The flu of a milder form than two years ago has again become epidemic. Local Hydro Changes. Miss MacKenzie then, as a Daughâ€" ter of the Empire, unveiled the pic- ture, and following this a hearty vote of thanks to the society was moved by Master Hugh Thompson, and seconded by Master Leonard Mc- Comb. After the school had sung “The Maple Leaf" and “God Save the King" the Daughters then took their departure to the High school, where a similar ceremony took place. Seriously 111 at Homes Hero. The picture given in this case was “The Surrender of the Fleet,” de- picting one. of the last scenes in the Great War when the mighty German fleet was compelled to line up be- tween two lines of the British fleet and sail into the Firth of Forth, nev- er again to fly the German flag. A convention of the 'I‘uxis Boys was held last week-end at Harriston. About one hundred and fifty were present from this section of Ontario and eleven attended from Durham. The following officers were elected for the meeting: Grand Praetor, Clarence. Neil, Hamilton: Deputy Praetnr, Melville Bailey, Palmer- ston; Grand Scriptor. Charles Ernst, Mount Forest; Grand Comptor, Wil- let Snell, Durham. A hockey match between the Dur- ham 'l‘uxis boys and Fordwich had been arranged, but. as the Fordwich players failed to Show Up a team comprismt of Harriston and Wing- ham boys was made up and the 10-- cats were defeated 12-9. When it is (fOIlSidt‘l’thl that some of the Dur- ham team had never before appeared in a hockey match, and that at the end of the. second period they had their opponents on the short end of a 9-6 score, the result is not so bad. The boys report a good conference. a good time, and speak very highly of the citizens of Harriston for the entertainment provided. TUXIS BOYS’ CONVENTION WAS HELD AT HARRISTON The Regent. again gave a paper on this incident and Miss Wbir as a Daughter of the, Empire unveiled the picture. This was followed by the singing of “Rule Britannia” by the school and a vote of thanks to the Chapter was moved by Mr. Don- ald Graham. seconded by Mr. W il- liam Vollett.
