(Nadine Ca herine). » M‘GHTONâ€"In Durham, at the home of her parents, Mr and Mrs Albert Middleton, to Mr and Mrs Jack Mighton, a son, on Feb. 23rd. 1 BLYTHE â€"In Durham Hospital, on Thursday, Feb. 22, to Mrand Mrs Thavâ€"ing Pipes Caused Fire The firs alarm sounded about $.30 Saturcay evening for a blaze in Mrs. Dan McAuliffe‘s house, in Upper Town, (former Big 4 Store) occupied by Mr. Cliff Hood, highway traffic officer. Mr Hood was thawing out a frozen water pipe in cellar with a gasoline torch,, and the building caught afire between the joists and the brick veneered outer wall, makâ€" ing the flames difficult to get at. Mr Hcood cut a hole in inside kitchen wiÂ¥ll above it and threw in a pan of water, which checked the blaze unâ€" til the fire brigade arrived. The Briâ€" gade responded quickly, finding the house smokeâ€"filled. Chemicals and a lin= of hose into an upstairs window scon quenched the blaze, but considâ€" erable damage to plastering and pa per was caused by water. Two up stairs front windows were blowhn out' in an explosion. Credit for saving. the double dwelling, (the north half of which is cccupied by Clerk B. n‘ Willis and Mr Wallace McGowan,) may be given to the waterworks sysâ€" tem and the prompt response of the firemen. _ Repains will cost approxiâ€" mately $100.00. hss In the Intermediace O. H. A. playâ€" offs, Walkerton defeated Durham afâ€" ter three great battles, Owen Sound everwhelmed ‘Walkerton, then Listoâ€" wel ncsed out Owen Sound, 7 to 6 ¢n the round. Ané now, Durham team and fans feel assured that if yet in playing condition, Durham could take Listowel‘s measure. _ Travellers and others who have seen the teams in action, state that the Walkertonâ€" Durham playâ€"offs furnished speedier hockey than anything they saw in the Listowelâ€"Arthurâ€"Harriston group. Owen Sound Olymptas Out Rev. Ernest Hayes of Wingham, has resigned as rector of the Angâ€" licar: Church in that town and purpâ€" oses after Easter, taking a parish in his native county of Cheshire, Engâ€" land. This information Mr. Hayes himself conveyed to an outâ€"ofâ€"town reauer of the Review a few weeks ago. But the former Durham â€" rec.or alsc said he did not plan to make England his permanent home. . He thought well of Canada _ and he would likely return to active clerical work in this country. Melville United Church, Fergus, has a present membership of 940. 67 were added during the year and 18 removed. Total General Fund receipts were nearly $11,000 and M. and M. Fund $5,830.22.

Walter L. Payne appeared in the Queen St. Church Wednesday night last, under Red Cross Society ausâ€" pices, with his famous travelogue, "The Call of the Old Country." The enjoyment of the evening was greatâ€" ly adde to by the delightful musical accompaniments played by ‘Harold Eustace Key, the well known musician and composer, who also led the singing of a number of wellâ€" known Old Country songs. ‘ The years are not so far back as to remember fhe day when a bus serv.ce was the only connection beâ€" tween Durham and Flesherton. His Majesty‘s ma.l was transported that method also. Just the same a letter in bus days reached Flesherton the day it was posted here and that‘s more than can be said at present with modern travelling facilities a" round you. AN ENJOYABLE Another factor, he said, which enâ€" tered irto the improving situation, was the special grant by the provinâ€" cial and federal gov‘t of twoâ€"thirds of the direct labor costs of all jobs on all county and township road proâ€" jects under the recently announced public works construction program. ed out to the convention that county road expenditures had been decreas ed from $9,000,000 in 1929 to $2,800,â€" 000 in 1933, and that township road expenditures had decreased over the same _ period from $6,500,000 to $2,000,000â€"a reductiion of approxiâ€" mately 70%. King‘s Highway expendâ€" itures had fallen from $10,000,000 to $5,000.000. Now, said he, in view of the facts that prices were lower than ever beforé, and the need for em-‘ ployment never greater, the tlmeth arrived in the Govt‘s opinion for an increase in road expenditure.. l The 259 miles taken over is 248 more than that in 1933 and 154 more than that in 1932. Mr Macaulay point» ed upkeep for the County, in being relieved of this road. It will also mean that dangerous curves and crossings â€" will be improved and grades reduced, all welcome news for the citizens of this locality, It also means that Durham more than ever will be a provincial highâ€" way metropolis, with such radiating North, South, East and West. No othâ€" er centre in this part of the province is as ‘highly favored in this reâ€" This will be made a continuation of No. 4 Highway, now coming thru Clinton up to Walkerton and across to Durham and will mean a lessenâ€" Leopold Macaulay, Minister of Highâ€" ways to the Ontario Good Roads Asâ€" sociation convention in the Royal Yorx: Hotel, Toronto, last Thursday.

Grant, Educational Sec‘y, of Canadian Greys‘ Chapter, presentâ€" Miss Alix Tobin, the prize winner of the Senior ser‘es, chose "Great Canadian Writers" as her theme. She specialized on three of them: "Paulâ€" ine Johnson," "Col. Johnâ€" McCrae" and "Jean Blewett." In fluent syle, she first sketched the life of these famors Canadians, and ended by quo.ing their outstanding poem. Miss Tobin was particularly commendec by the judges, for her work. â€" Allan McLean selected "The Menace of Armament. Building" and the speech went on to show forth the tragedy of war rather than its=glory. ‘The adâ€" dress was very informative, telling of ' Miss Jean Firth chose "Ploneerf life in Ontario‘® as her topic and :‘ Eround her speech wove the romance that is attached to p‘oneer life toâ€" day. To the pioneer it was not roâ€"‘ mance, but rather hard and ott-tlmesf discouraging work. Miss Thelma | Priest selected as her topic "Wilfrid Grenfell", the hero of Labrador. It' was a well thoughtout address and one which showed up ~the medical . missicnary doctor in his true light. Other contes‘ants in the‘r class and topics were Florence Greenwood on "Wilfrid Grenfell" George Prew, on "Canada‘s Natural â€" Resources" and Elsic Connelly, on "The Political life of Sir Wilfrid Laurier."
