Pro-sser was too ill to fill his appointments at Hopeville, Inistioge and Proton Station on Sun- day. We hope that he will be better before next Sunday. Proton Station hockey boys again tried their luck with Flesherton boys; to be sure they came off second bes:. in a 5-2 score, but they are plucky to play at all against a practised team. They have no place to practice what- ever, except in a game, and just begin to hit their stride at the last period. Nothing like perseverance. Messrs. Batw, L. Wauchope. E. Lyons and E. Park were in Toronto last week and attended the West To- ronto-Owen Sound hockey game. Mr. Jackson of Berkeley is visiting at the home of Mr. H. Jackson here.

The International Plowing Match an<< Farn 1 Machinery Demonstration will be held near the city of Peter- boro, Ontario, on October 13, 14, 15, and 16, 1931. The great deeds that men do live after them. Some men's deeds are not appreciated until too late, and this may be the case of W.E.N. Sin- clair, the local legislature. Mr. Sin- clair has the complete confidence of his following in the house. His contribution to The speech from the throne and also to the issue concerning Toronto University have proven him to be a man of sound judgement. It is just possible that the great Liberal party in Ontario which listened to dictation from Ot- tawa made a great blunder in reject- ing Mr. Sinclair for the noisy petrel from Elgin county, who up to this date, has fallen short of making much of an impression.
