Even now we have wild ducks and crows in our midst and in some places on the Provincial Highâ€" way, snakes have been seen sunning themselves.

MRS JAMES PASSMORE THE ROLL CALL Harri ton Tied Rourd by _ Annual Meeting Grey & \ _ Durham is out of O.H.A. and it \lecks doubtful if weather conditions w.ll allow playâ€"cffs to a finish in the Northern League. Old Man Winter | may leave us tco soon. | The Junior semiâ€"final, Durham vs. | | Listowel at Listowel, arranged for last Saturday, was also postponed by lack of ice and it now appears uncerâ€" tain if Listowel will continue. If they do, first game will be this week end, | ice permitting. The winner will mee® winner of Owen Soundâ€"Port Elgin Tround in the finals. f 1 Miss Margaret Hunter, Regent of ; Canadian Greys‘ Chapter, 1.O0.D.E., ;rrcsxded cver her first meeting in ‘her now office, on Tuesday evening, at the home of Mrs G. S. Kearney. | There was a splendid attendance cf members present. After business proâ€" éceedlflngs were discussed and settled, the meeting took the form of a literâ€" ‘ary and musical nature. Durham hockey team were only 40 seconds from winning their round with Harristen at the latter town last Thursday night, but with twoâ€" thirds of a minute to go, Pritchard made a determined rush, eluded his checks and beat McDonald to win the game 2â€"0 and tie the round, 4â€" 4. _ Durkam had won at home 4â€"2, on Tuesday night. The mild night with consequent soft ice were not in Durham‘s favor. The heavier Harriston team were abâ€" le to smash almost all Durham‘s efâ€" forts at team play and on slow, sticâ€" ky ice, both teams had to depend on shots from a distance out. Harriston had the better of play at opening of game but after a few minutes Durham assumed superiority but could not work in sufficiently close to beat Davidson in goal. Durâ€" ham also had the edge throughout second frame but a lucky shot from Tilker‘s stick on left wing found the nets after 19 min. had gone. McDonâ€" ald didn‘t see it. Durham tied the score in last perâ€" icd 1â€"1, but referee Talbot refused to count the goal, as he had rung bell for a trip a moment before when the play was not completed. Durham still was 1 up on round without it, and with play practically even, Harâ€" riston‘s chances were fast vanishing. The last 5 min. Durham shot the puck toward Harriston nets at every opportunity and this defensive play proved the‘r undoing, for Pritchard‘s great rush in the last minute caught the red shirts fagged anrd his smokâ€" ing shot caught the corner of the nets. It was a 2â€"0 for Harriston and a heartâ€"breaker for Durham team. I tei:.. the Harriston Won District in Final at Walkerton On wretchedly soft fce, with no chance for speedy hockey as Durham excels in, Harriston won the district championship in the Int. O.H.A. play offs at Walkerton Wednesday night by a 1â€"0 score. On keen ice, there is no doubt but the locals would have had the honors, in two games, but wor‘‘>r conditions this winter were decidedly against Durham‘s style of plav as i« evidenced by their being held scoreless the last two games. This sudden death game was first set for Monday night, in Walkerton, but mild weather forced postpone ment to Wednesday, when ice was little or no better, but any longer delay was impossible. Harriston now meets Goderich in next semiâ€"final round and Durham wishes them luck. It is the prevailâ€" ing opinion however, that neither Harristor: or Durham would be able to climb much higher in O.H.A. cirâ€" cles. Mrs J. H. Harding read an exceedâ€" ingly interesting sketch by Bloodwen Davies of Tom Thomson, the young Canadian landscape artist, who met: with such a tragic death on Canoe‘ Lake, Algonquin Park, in 1917. Hlsi world was the great outâ€"ofâ€"doors and his nature sketches on canvas are‘ toâ€"day as he saw Ontario in all her moods and that won suchâ€" recogniâ€" tion from critics and gcvernments. 1. 0. D. E. HOLD LITERARY AND MUSICAL EVENiING Mrs J. F. Grant, Educational Sec‘y, had an interesting summary of curâ€" rent events in the world around us brought ‘before the Chapter. Mrs T. M.

After the minutes of last annual meeting were read and adopted. The Auditors‘ Report was presented by Wm Ruttle, which showed that notwithstanding the fact that fire losses were unusually heavy, the financial standing of the Compâ€" any was well maintained. The folâ€" lowing officers were elected : President, D. McKinnon, Chesley Vice Pres., A. McArthur, Priceville Sec‘y Treas., Wm Ruttle, Hanover The five retiring Directors were reâ€"elected : A. McArthur, Priceville : H. McLean, Bentinck : J. H. Hunter, Walkerton : Neil McLeod, Proton Station: Jchn Cooper, Hanover. exâ€" cept Mr J. H. Hunter, whose resignaticn was received with regret, as he has been on the Executive for the past 26 years. Mr Spence Nesbitt of Walkerton â€" was elected in his place. There was a considerable discus sion with regard to the new applicaâ€" t.on and policy forms which were put into effect on 1st January last In furure the new ruling by the Departâ€" meont of Insurance provides that the Ccompany will ocnly pay two thirds of the actual cash value of farm buildâ€" ings, live stock and implements and culy 25 per cent of the insurance on contents cof dwell.ngs applied _ to wearing apparel. Of course any policy holder can further increase the inâ€" surance cn contents of dwelling by insuring them freshly. Live Stock will only be pa.d on the two third bas!s, but full market value will be paid for farm produce. Wm Glauser, Hanover: Robt. Parâ€" slow, Priceville, are two other memâ€" bers of the Directing Board. A hearty vote of thanks was tendâ€" ered to the Agents and all hoped for & prosperous 1932. It is not unusual for a resident of a town or village to be a township official, in fact it is quite common. What is cut of the ordinary and that is what constitutes news, says the Chesley Enterprise, is when a farmer occupies a municipal position in an urban mun‘cipality. This is the case in the village of Neustadt where Michael Murray, a Normanby farmer living about three miles from the vilâ€" lage is clerk, treasurer and collector of hydre rates. His combined offices bring him in a revenue of $440. . Mr Murray was returning Officer for S. East Grey at the last Domi{nion genâ€" eral election and he is likely to hold the position permanently as the chief electoral officer, Jules Castonguay, who visited all the returning officers since the last general election is perâ€" fectly satisfied with the correctness of Mr Murray‘s returns. LIKELY TO BE PERMANâ€" ENT ELECTORAL OFFICER The Family Herald and Weekly Star of Montreal offered $10,000 in cas} prizes to those guessing nearest the population of Canada by the cenâ€" sus of 1931. On every new or renewâ€" al subscription you were allowed 7 guesses. The prizes ranged from $5000 to the one guessing the exact tumber, to $5 cach to the last sixty who shared in the 100 prizes. Wher we tell you that Mr MeDonâ€" ald had over 2000 guesses coming to him, it is evident he was not idle in soliciting subscriptions and renewals. One of his guesses of Canada‘s population was 10,374,196 and this proved to be the final and correct figâ€" ure according to official compilers. Perhaps the best news in the Revâ€" iew this week is to tell of the wonâ€" Cerful good fortune of a brother Ediâ€" tor and pusher of the quill,â€"Wm Mcâ€" Donald of the Chesley Enterprize, who last week discovered that he was $5000 richer than he was the week previous. Of course he hasn‘t actually reccived the money yet, but in this case, anticipation is almost as good as realization, for its sure to come. We are not envious, but glad to extend our congratulations to Mrâ€" McDonald on his worthy success. It all happened this way : EDITOR McDONALD, CHESLEY, WINS $5000 CASH PRIZE While the stock broker of the modâ€" ern day regards $5000 as a nominal sum, to the editor it is wealth and this sudden rise in the estate of Chesâ€" ley‘s Editor will give him an income tax to pay to Hon. R. B. Bennett and his family of executors. $5000 is quite a windfall as Mr McDonald says, in these days of financial depression, and should keep the wolf from the Bruce Fire Ins. Company The President of the Bell Telephone Co., in his remarks to the shareholdâ€" ius. says: "For the first time in the | fifty one years of the Company‘s his~ | tery, the number of phones removed |has excecded the number installed. \There were 204,848 telephones conâ€" nected and 214,911 disconnected at Let loss of 10,063 in 1931. The greatâ€" . er number were disconnected in the ‘last six months of 1931. _Mrs (Rev.) W. H.

Mr and Mrs Starley Arthur small son, Otterville, were week guests with Mrs. Thes. Young family. . Miss Agnes Morton, Aberdecn, reâ€" turned to Guelph Monday after an enforced hcliday at her heme of two mouths, recuperating from a severe cperation . The Presbyter‘an Young People‘s Socicty held a skating party on Tuesâ€" day night in the rink. A number of people in this comâ€" munity are talking seriously about having their telephone disconnected .n the meantime, until prices on the telephore rates are cut or until the depression is over. $1.65 a month or $19.80 a year seems to high for the average farmer, to say the least these times for telephone service. The Lad.es‘ Aid held a quilting bee at Mrs Earl Mead‘s Tuesday of last week. They finished work on the quilt and it is already spoken for by Miss Isabel Matthews, Toronto. The ladies are working on blocks for anâ€" othe:. Urder the auspices of South Grey Agricultural Society the Varney Wide Awake Community Club, presented a play "The Rival Ghosts" in the Town Hall on Wednesday night, Feb 24. The play was well given and the audience followed with keen interest the adventures of the G:bbs family and heartily enjoyed the humor of the colored servants. Mrs Chas Mcâ€" Alister was cook for the players and Miss Mary Ford, teacher at Knox, assisted. The caste was as follows: Mary Bell (Cynthia Rankin): Doroâ€" thy Ritchie (Clementina, a colored servaxt): Charlotte Patterson (Paâ€" tric.a): â€" Marjory Caldwell (Evelyn Gibbs): Cecil Barber (Prof. Gibbs) : Norman Mellvride (Col.
