Agent Robbins‘ home, south of Knox Church. Fortunately it was got under control before the Brigade was needâ€" Mr Burt‘s Runnerâ€"up A rather unique occurrence took place at a Masonic social in Thornâ€" bury last week. _A 94 year old Masâ€" ca was playing euchre and very good at it too. The only bad tendency he bad was to forget what was ‘trump.‘ But plenty younger than this Mason have the same tendency. Medical Eye Specialist in Schools This week, the High and Public Schools have been visited by Dr. MacKenzie Smith, eye Specialist, who is investigating the condition of the pup.ls‘ eyes. She is sent out by the Dept. of Health, at the instigation c* the Women‘s Institute. _ She has feurd many cases of defective eye sight in both schools, of which the parects will doubtless be informed. Golf on the 5th of March ! The dainty fragile little snow drop raised itself to meet the sun on Friâ€" day and Saturday last in the gardens of Misses E. Chadwick and Margarâ€" et Hunter. They were deceived in the weather man, for on this Monday, they are shivering under a blanket of snow. The week end was a venâ€" ture for skipping ropes, etc. and evâ€" en a round on the Saugeen Golf course at Hanover, was indulged in by some enthusiastic golfers from Durkam . Won New Plymouth Sedan Ry Matthews, son of Mr and Mrs. Jomes Matthews of town, is the forâ€" tunate chap these days, for he will scon be behind the wheel of his new Plymoyth sedan, which cost him enly a dollar. It happened thusly : Roy spent the past winter working in Fort William, returning home at end of February. To raise funds for their team», the Hockey Club there, sold three thousand numbered memberâ€" shp tickets at $1 each, the person helding the lucky number when drawn to become the possessor of this fine car. _ Roy had bought a ticket when in Fort William and was delighted to receive a telegram | last Thursâ€" day that his was the winning ticket. The car is awaiting him in Fort Wilâ€" lam, but as it is too far to go after it, and too expensive to ship it, arâ€" rangements are being made to have a new car from the factory in Wind sor placed at his disposal instead. Pleasant Calendar Tea The Ladies® Aid of the Baptist Church held a very successful Calenâ€" dar Tea on Wednesday, March 2. in the Sunday School Parlors of the Baptist church, which was appropriâ€" ately decorated for the occasion. The tables were decorated to represent each month of the year and the waitâ€" ors were Mrs Havens, Mrs Chas Ritâ€" whie, Mrs C. McNaughton, Miss Ada Ho!lmes, Mrs Erwin, Miss Grace Ritâ€" chie, Miss E. Moffet, Mrs Kinnee, Mrs Bell, Mrs J. McLean, Mrs J. N. Murdock. The program was varied, ecnsisting of instrumentals by Mrs. Priest, Miss Redford, Susie Bell, Clara Thewpscn, Jean Murdock: solos, duâ€" éts and trios, Mrs Giles, Mrs W. Thempson, Miss Redford, Misses A. Hcimes, Fthel Jones, Edith and Ethâ€" el Erwin, Janet McMaster: readings, ;;q.t had been taking an underwritâ€" ers‘ survey of the premises of the Vice President of the Grey and Bruce by Mrs Priest, Mrs Pust. The proâ€" @ram was much einjoyed by all. Mrs Priest and Mrs Moffet received the the feminine bovine, a bellowing rumpus, GLENELG FARMER HAS AN INVESTIGATING GOAT (By cur Priceville correspondent) A farmer of South Glenelg recentâ€" ly bought a gcoat at a sale and left it in his brctherâ€"inâ€"law‘s barn over vnight, securely t‘ed and in a box. In the morning it was found among the sheep outside. How it got out, no one knows, there being no openings, (perhaps through a knot hole) and clmbed (so we are told) down the lghtz:ing rod. We rather think the Fire Insurance Company. Be that as it may, the goat was firrlly "shoved" into a passage, finalâ€" ty landing over the manger, rivalling the best eiforts of Mary Catherwood, in hber ~Olympic championships at stockholm. to the consternation of wire of the whimg the railway" close by. iv‘s goat of Archie Clark‘s is ~OWMDEFRR Council will Buy ®â€"OPICS | Naow â€" who set up such _ Representatives from three rubber goods Companiesâ€" Goodyear, Dunlop and Dominion, were present at Town Council meeting Tuesday n‘ght to ‘press the merits of and if possible, to | sell their fire hose to add to thel ocal ‘ equipment. _ Chairman H. Kress had \written for samples and prices. These | were forthcoming and ail were the same as to prices. They ranged from |$1.35 down to $1 a fooi. The $1.35 brand had a better exterior to resist | wear, but the $1 brand had equally 'good material and the same guaranâ€" teeâ€"six years. Fire Chief Art McDonald reported only 900 ft of good hose on hand and 200 more unreliable. As underwrit ers‘ report called for 1500 ft, he recâ€" ommended 500 ft be purchased. Coun. Stoncouse suggested that as all samâ€" ples submitted seemed about equal va‘ae, that 150 fect beâ€" purchased from cach of the three Companies and test them all out. A motion to this effect by Kressâ€"Catton, carried. Council thus buying 450 feet hose in all, of the $1 brand, with couplings. A wreath in respect to memory of the late exâ€"mayor Allan, was authorâ€" ized by Council to be secured. Acâ€" counts totalling $538.73 were passed, which included about $40 to a numâ€" ber of stores for four families,â€"Camp Dunsmeccr, Mrs Kennedy, J. Watt and ‘Father and Son‘ Banquet in Queen St. Church y. Watt. The request of Councii to C.N.R. auâ€" thorities, asking that double train service be restored on this line, brought a letter from W. A. Kingsâ€" worth, Gen. Manager, stating it was receiving consideration and he would let Councll know decision as soon as possible. The Mayor was appointed delegate tco a meeting cf Municipality represenâ€" tatives in Toronto on March 14, to consider unemployment, to urge Gevâ€" crument to continue the Transsontinâ€" ental highways tod to take over whole of Secondary Schcols, to ask Dom. Gov‘t to return aliens, but not as de portees, to suggest building walks aâ€" long highways and other. matters. Mayor Murdock thought it would be| an important gathering. } Coun. Cliff Ritchie brought up that some authority should pe given to Fire Brigade to prevent hangersâ€"on on fire truck responding to an alarm, other than firemen, and to prevent those not firemen tramping through house unnecessarily, when a chimney fire.. Coupcil thought the Chicef could casily exercise authority to stop these practices, anl the mayor stated that any member of Fire and Light Com. of which Coun. Ritchle was one, had power to check any unnecessary intruders. Tax Roll was extended one month. Nearly a hundred dads and their lads and several other guests attendâ€" ed the first "Father and Son" banâ€" quet, held in Durham, in the schoolâ€" room of Queen Street United Church on Friday evening. It was arranged by the local Tuxis and Trail Ranger groups, a part of their program of activities and was featured by the presence of Mr C. F. Plewman, of Torontc, Boys‘ Work Secretary for Ontario, who led the community singing and closed with an inspiring address. The schoolroom with tastily set tables around three sides and a small table in front for leaders and the clergy, was an attractive spot about 6.30 p.m. and the Queen Street ladies fully satisfied the inner cravings of every man and boy with the excellent repast they provided. A hearty vote of thanks was moved to the ladies by Harold McKechnie ard Peter Ramâ€" rge, to which Mrs P. Gagnon, Presâ€" ident of the Ladies‘ Aid, graciously responded. The guest of the evening, C. F. Flewman, was introduced by M. H. Bailey, local Sec‘y of the Boys‘ Work Board. Mr Plewman quickly had evâ€" erycne enthused in community singâ€" ing of popular songs, nursery rhymes, etc. The program was in charge of Dr. J. F. Grant, toastmaster, who first proposed the toast to the King, responded to by the National Anthâ€" Miss Ada Fortune, Ayton, has been mointed Sec‘y Treasurer of the The Rurhom Reviewx. and replied to by Rev B. D. (Continued on page 5) Other toasts were to New Fire Hose \so familiar to all residents and his |cheery smile and kindly greeting had ‘become a thing to be looked for. His |‘mem~,ry the last year had failed him l and toa general breaking up of the ‘ system more than anything else can ‘his death be attributed. _ His wife has been the devoted and loving nurse through these weeks and no one will feel the break caused by death more keenly. Their devotion to each other had often been marked. To attempt to give a condensed biâ€" ography of Mr Allan is to give an historical sketch of Durham and esâ€" pecially its school life, for his charâ€" acter is so woven into the fabric of Durham‘s history, that it is difficult . to separate. Town Loses by Death an Oatstanding Citizen Thomas Allan, Principal of Durham School for 31 Years A prominent citizen and educationâ€" ist has passed from the things that are to the things that were, on Tuesâ€" day morning, March 8th, in the perâ€" son of Thomas Allan. re was eighty years of age on 9th of January last,â€" full of years and honor.

They settled in Trafalgar in 1854 and four years later moved to Egremont Township, settling on lot 15 con 3. | Originally there were five brothers,â€" |John, James David, William and Thoâ€" | mas. _ Of these five, Thomas was the \ last living link. With brothers James, John and David, they were educated for teachers. Thomas went on furâ€" ther, completing his subjects for his first class certificate. â€" He began in Durham as Principal of the Model School, Principal of Public School, Continuation School and later High School. In May 1919, he retired from active teaching duties and has since led a quiet life. In â€" August, of 1919, a grand reunion was arrangâ€" ed by exâ€"pupils in his honor, as a mark of appreciation and gratitude for his services to them as teacher and counsellor. The event was held in the Town Hall and the occasion was made momorable for him by a | wo. miv~ eouched address and a presâ€" entation of a purse of money amountâ€" ing to $400.00. s t The news of his death will come as a distinct sense of loss to hundâ€" reds of his exâ€"pupils, now scattered worldâ€"wide. They carry very distinct memories of their school career unâ€" der his tutorship and looking backâ€" ward to these days, have cause to feel grateful for the meed of punishâ€" ment handed to them as well as for the meed of praise. He came in contact with the pupils of Public, High and : Model School grades and his influence was such that the impress of his character still remains in their hearts and minds, even when poipnts on the schceol curâ€" riculum are gone and forgotten. ALL DURHAM MOURNS Continued on page 8 able referee. DURHAM, THURSDAY MARCH 10, 1932 With which is incorporated the Holstein Leader Juniors Beat Listowel and Enter Northern Finals Junior champioxs last year and Junâ€" icr finalists at least, this year! Durâ€" ham‘s gritty bunch of Juniors vanâ€" quished Listowel here on Wednesday n:ight, 3 to 2, and &s it was a 2â€"all tie in Listowel, Durham is 1 up on the round, and will meet Owen Sound in the finals, probably in Owen Sound Friday and in Durham Monday next. Listowel was surely a tough proposâ€" ition. At full time, it was, as in Listowel, a 2â€"2 tie, and only after nine minutes overtime, did Norman Tucker‘s good shot score the winner. Listowel counted first, and N. Tucker shot from a scramble to tie it up. No scoring in 2ud, but in 3rd, an easy bcunder eluded MCEachnie for Listo wei‘s 2nd goal, and Elmer Tucker son tied it again when he fought aâ€" round nets, ard jabbed it in. That made overtime to a finish necessary. All the locals worked hard, McEachâ€" nie playing a worGderful game in the ncts, and Dean his third good game on three successive nights. Sheerer of Walkerton again handled the game well. L:stowel: Goalâ€"Dobbie; defenceâ€" White, G. Thompson; centreâ€"Ronald wingsâ€"J. Fritz, J. Thompson; subsâ€"â€" Pratt, G:bson, Ross, D. Fritz. Juniors Made it a Durham: Goalâ€"E. McEachnie. deâ€" fenceâ€" N. Dean, Billy Arnill; centre F. Bolger; wingsâ€"Jack Lauder, Elâ€" mer Tucker; subsâ€"Norman Tucker, Brown Irvin, Tom Goodchild. Durham‘s smart â€" Junior hockeyi team, almost all of whom are new| players in League company, surprlsed! the natives here, and probably more: so the Listowel team and public,| when they held them to a 2â€"2 tieat Listowel Monday night, in their first Junior Northern semiâ€"final. Listowel press reports claim it was not a good gameâ€"nor was it from their viewâ€" point. The Durham youths flashed just as much speed as their heavier competitors, and checked them so closely that they could break away but seldom. Listowel led 2â€"0 early in second frame but Durham finished strong, sccring 1 each in second and last periods. McEachnie in Durham nets played a much better game than in Walkerton series. _ The Durham forward line of E. Tucker, Bolger and Jack Lauder went strong almost the entire game, Norman Tucker beâ€" ing the only sub. used. The score sheet : * Seniors Won in Erin 3â€"1 in Northern Semiâ€"Finals Though eliminated from O. H. A. câ€"mpetition through faliure of referâ€" ee to ccunt a wellâ€"earned goal in Harristor, and soft ice, Durham Senâ€" iors made an auspfcious start in the Northern League semiâ€"finals on Tuesâ€" day night by winning their first game at Erin by 3 tQ 1. The return game will be in Durham toâ€"night, Thursday, and as goals court on the round, the locals should repeat and advance further in the playâ€"downs. Erin was new opposition for Durâ€" ham, it being the first occasion we have ccmpeted against that burg. The boys state they have. a swift, clean teaem, but lack a modern rink to deâ€" velop. team players. _ Their rink is about the size of Flesherton‘s â€"too emall to enter O.H.A. heckey. Erin hcowever, was good enough to win their group and then defeat Markâ€" dale (alse group winners) in the first semi final round by decisive scores. 1st period Listowelâ€"Fritz 3rd period Durhamâ€"Bolger (J.

It was thought at first that some fnelghborlng friend had taken it out and would bring it back again in due time as had been done before. Secing those friends on the street later, it was time to lock further. Machinery of the law was put in motion, descripâ€" tions sent of the car throughout the Province, with the result . that a phone message arrived on Monday evening that it had been located at Mimico, while the culprits who took | it (already on suspended sentence), | were robbing a store there. They | were nipped in time with the car to ‘take them off. £..‘® BROUVGHT TO DURHAM HERMIE McLEAN‘S MOTOR STOLEN FRIDAY LAST BIRTHDAY GOOD WISHES Ye Editor begs to thank the many friends who remembered him on 8th, â€"cur birthday, by cards or letters, conveying cordial goo@ wishes, or in cther ways took notice of it.
