Thirteenth Hydro Power Bill Shows Deficit For The Year Deficit Recoriled of $209 That Includes Exchange Charges From Hcfad Office Net Deficit of $118.43 Flesherton received its thirteenth power bill from the Ontario Hydro Commission on Saturday and again it shows a deficit for 1932 operations. In lt>31 the deficit was $129, while the 1932 deficit Is $209, the fisca. year ending on October 31st last Some 200 municipalities in Ontario are reported to have crests, but Flesherton was not able to enter this preferred class. The cost of power in Flesherton amounted to $4,030.21, made up from the following items: Cost of power purchased $57.06, operating mainten- ance and administration expenses $1,- 981, interest including exchange $1,- 275.13, renewals $309.75, absolescence and contingencies $92.95, sinking fund $268.86, cost :a excess of rev.jnue •?o!._' to private companies $45.46. To jia â-  for the above accounts $3,821.16 was collected from hydro power users, making a deficit during the year of $209.05. Included in the amount of $1,275. lb for interest and exchange is included i the bill of $197, which was rendered the local commission last fall for New York exchange and not paid, as there was a protest registered against pay- ing the account. At the annual meet- ing three weeks ago of the Hydro As- sociation the Hydro Commission de- dJed to pay 46 per cent, of the ex- change and the municipalities the re- mainder or 54 per cent, of the total. This would leave the Hydro Commis- sion owing the local commission $90.- 62 on the exchange account and would bring the total deficit down to $118.43. Mr. C. N. Richardson, secretary of the local commission, was of the opin- ion that the rates for hydro users would not be raised, despite the de- ficit. Each year the rates are ad- justed in June for the year's pay- ments and are retroactive. WAS CRUEL TO HIS HORSES; PAYS COSTS Instances of cruelty to animals, brought to the attention of the auth- orities, are few in Bruce County, but last Friday, in Police Court in Kin- cardine, Alex. Brown, of Kincardine Township, was given suspended sen- tence and assessed costs amounting to $10.25, for allowing his team to stand overnight in a church shed. Brown claimed that, in company with another man, he went into the country CO buy pig.s, and as the car broke down, and he was unable to return, the horses had to remain where he had^left them. Though Brown plead- ed guilty, his counsel endeavored to fix the blame on the church authori- ties, contending that the shed was not in fit? condition. â€" Walkerton Telescope.

Motor License Time Limit Is Extended March 15th Is Last Date To Run Cars C '"our Old License iriates "Contrary to the general impres- sion," said George H. Barr, director Dairy Bnanfch, <the pi<oduqtion of cheese, in Ontario, is increasng. "Figures for the year 1932 show the production of cheese in this Pro- vince as approximately 80,000,000 pounds, compared with approximately 75,000,000 pounds in 1931. An in- crease of some 5,000,000 pounds, or about seven per cent, is worthy of attention, particularly when we know that the increase in quality is more than equal to the increase in volume.'' itm Sun Life Asisuranee Company of Canada Incorporated 1865 HbaP OmCB - MONTBSiUb TIIE inherent strength of life assiu'ance has been tested and prb'^ed during the past three years of general business recession, and the invaluable service it rend^ the public in times of emergency fully demonstrated.

Sun Life Company Assurance of Canada The time limit for the purchase ot motor vehicle licenses for 1933 has been extended by Hon. Leopold Ma- caulay. Minister of Highways. For- merly no motor vehicles were allowed to operate on old license plates later than January 31st, but this year the date was set ahead to February 15th and then to March 15th. There is a decrease in licenses is- sued for all kinds of motor vehicles of 51,671 as of Jan. 30, 1933, against the same date last year. Up to Jan- uary 30th, throughout the Province, there were 107,907 licenses issued and 15S,578 taken out up to Jan. 30, 1932. The total issued for 1932 was approx- imately 535,000. The great majority of drivers, therefore, are keeping their cars in storage until later on. The statement of Hon. Mr. Macaul- ay follows: ".\fter considering the requests of many motorists and truck owners and with a view to assisting those who have not yet saved up sufficient to purchase their motor vehicle permits for 1933, the Government has decided to extend the time for the purchase of these till March 15, 1933. "It is a human tendency to put off till tomorrow what mig-ht be done to- day, so we would urge those who have not yet secured their licenses not to wait till the last few days, when there will be great congestion and a long queue standing in line." Mrs. Frances Adelaide Graham during her married life a resident oi Victoria Coi-ners district, died late Friday afternoon at the home of hei sister. Mrs. Richard T, Wraggett, oi Bethel, in Proton Township. Mrs. Graham was born in Artemesia, neai Kimberley, a daughter of the late .Mary McDowell and Thomas Hutchin- son, ami was in her 74lh year.

Over 350 People Attend The Flesherton Old Boys' and Girls' "At Home" Old Residents Present HEN LAID AN EGG WITH THREE YOLKS An egg with a triple york is on display in The Post window, a pro- duct of one of Mr. Adam Metzger's hens. In opening the egg, the Metz- gers expected it might have a double yoik as the "hen fruit" was of an unusually large size, but were mort than surprised to see three yolks join- ed together in the shape of a clover leaf, each about an inch in size. It is very seldom that an agg is found with a triple yolk.â€" Hanover Post.

The W.M.S. of St. John's United Church met on Thursday afternoon with Mrs. Jos. Blakely in the chair. The scripture lesson was read by Mrs. W. Turney, and Miss Macmillan led in prayer. Mrs. C. Chappie read the "Woman of the Home," as port- rayed in Proverbs 31: 10-31. Mrs. Wes .Armstrong gave a resume of the study book "His Dominion of Can- ada," by Rev. E. Oliver. Tlie Pres- ident, Mrs. W. J. Scott, then took the ^â- hair and announced that Mrs. Wm. Gauld of Stouth Formosa is the mis- sionary assigned to our Auxiliary for prayer, and advised the Cor. Sec, -Mrs. Turney, to write her on behalt of the Auxiliary and for any others to write her who wished, only not to expect Mrs. Gauld to answer. Mrs. W. I. Henry and Mrs. Cargoe were the Heralds who responded when called. Mrs. E. C. Murray read a very interesting letter from Miss Florence Fee, who has returned to her duties at Chengtu, West China. Miss Macmillan's group will take the next meeting. Fourteen members respond' ed to the roll call. The Flesherton Old Boys' and Girls Association held their annual "At Home" in the Pythias Castle Hall. Toronto on Friday evening of last week, when over 350 persons were in attendance, e.xceeding the nuonber iiresent at the Royal York hotel last winter. Cullen's orchestra supplied music lor the dancing and a short program was jtaged before the dancing, to which the following contributed: A reading by Mr. ,W. B. Petch, humor- ous sketch by Mrs. A. Houden and Mrs. Baxter, Spanish and tap dances by Miss Jean Wilson, Scotch dances by Prof. McPherson's troupe and a number by Mr. Robt. Clarke, ven- triloquist. All the above numbers were much enjoyed by those present and the of- ficers of the Association desire tc express their sincere thanks to those who so kindly lent their assistance in providing the above entertainment. They also desire to express their ap- preciation to those attending from a distance; Flesherton, Oshawa, and St. Catharines being represented. I might say it is very heartening to youi committee to find the interest taken so keen in supporting our cause as to impel" them to drive such distances in uncertain weather to be present in person at our annual gathering. First and second ladies' and men's prizes were presented for the win- ners of the euchre, under the direc- tion of Messrs. A. C. Legard and George Phillips. The winners of the winners are as follows: 1st ladies' prize, Mrs. Gordon Badgerow; 2nd ladies', Mrs. Lee; 1st men's, Mr. Goodworth; 2nd men's, Geo. McKee. Among those present it was a pleas- ure to see Mrs. (Dr.)_ Sproule, Mrs. Thorn, Major C. J. Sproule, Hon. I. B Lucas., Mr. W. H. Fenwick, and many others too numerous to mention. Two carloads were in attendance from Flesherton, but more woui'd have been down if Highway 10 had been open- ed sooner by the government plow and there were many disappointed people who were forced to remain ai home. MRS. JOHN S. WINTERS The stout woman on the scale was eagerly watched by two small boys. The woman dropped in her cent, but the machine was out of order and only registered 70 pounds. "Good night, Bill," gasped one of the young- sters, "she's hollow!" The death occurred on Sunday, Feb. 12th, at her late home at Hatherton, Osprey township, of Mrs. John S. Winters, in her 58th year. The de- ceased, whose maiden name was Saraii McLean, was born near Mc- Intyre. Besides her sorrowing husband, two sons and two daughters survive, namely: William, XeFl and Florence, at home, and Belle in Toronto. The funeral was held on Tuesday, Feb. 14th, from her late home to Max- well, where interment was made. â€" Dundalk Herald.
