THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1933 • ^1^^ • * r â- * • â- t ♦ r • * Fall Fair Troubles ^^.^^ The Fall Fair season is nearly here and the final arrangements are being made for the holding of these annual agrricultural affairs, Owing to the cry for economy we note that the government grants have been re- dwed, and we note, also, that a good many of the fairs are having fin- ancial difficulty in getting going. Over Flesherton. way a meeting of those interested has been called in an effort to have the annual fair continue, while down at Napanee the fair has been cancelled altogether. There are two very different reasons, however, for these difficulties. The Flesheton fair, and it is no different than many others, South Grey includ- ed, is handicapped through lack ot funds. The Napanee fair has been cancelled because no satisfactory ai*- rangements could be made to secure •a midway and other attractions. The Flesherton directors have en- deavored to run an honest-to-goodness fall fair, where the exhibits of the faiViers are the principal attraction The Napanee fair, apparently, has been run, first as a midway and secondly, for the purpose of allowing the farmers to exhibit their produce. The government could help matters considerably if they would check up <)n th; fairs all over the province and ^llow government gK^nts only to those that are carrying out the idea of the Department of Agriculture, and ignoring altogether the fairs whose chief aim is to supply a mid- .way. This may not fee a populai idea in some cases, but we believe something of this kind will eventu- ally have to be done or the fall fairs will disappear altogether. A good many years ago the gov- ernment refused to allow a grant tc |airs that featured horse racing a a part of the program on the ground that the Department was interested in agriculture, not horse racing. Why not try the same thing with fal) fairs that stress the amusement side ol their "show"? If the government balks at being placed in the horse racing business, they can |>ut up just as strong an argument in the case of m.idways. The fall fair is distinctly a far- mers' fair. Its intention is to give the farmers of the district the oppor- tunity of competing. Until certain of the larger fairs tried to run a Toronto Exhibition on a small scale, it was successful, and we 'believe it would be successful «gain providing the smaller fairs "^^ere informed thai if they wishe;! a continuance of the governme^ grant they would have to conforaj' to the government's reg- ulations p«Rarding fall fairs. Do thej^rmers want the fall fait continup^^ This, in our opinion, is theTOg question. If the farmers Tiave tired of *he fall fair as an in- stitution, there seems nothing to do (but call it off; if they want it, then it is worth the government grant re- ceded. Perhapjs the first ;thing necessary is a canvass of every fall fair district. This would give us something to work on. â€" Durham •Chronicle. THANKSGIVISG DAY SET FOR OCTOBER 9. IS REPORT Trankjgiving Day this year will bt celebrated on the second Monday in October (the 9th), as was the case last year, it has been learned. Fix- ing the date of this holiday is an annual duty of the Government and an Order-in-Council was passed re- cently. Were Not Satisfied Recently two ladies of Feversham did not receive any reward for hard labor under a boiling sun when they went picking wild raspberries. While the berries were plentiful and their large water pails were each soon fill- ed with luscious fruit, the(y were doomed to leave for home empty handed. After filling their large containers they were not altogether satisfied and decided to fill the ^mall pails they carried. This was done and on their return to their cache found a cow contentedly licking her lips, which were stained red, both p-iils lying empty close by. For a few moments the life of the cow was in danger from the natural ire of the ladies, but they finally decided that it would have been mqjg profitable to have been satisfied when they had enough. FLESHERTON WON FROrVANOELEUR Shades of the old Vandeleur ball club! 25-8 in favor of Flesherton at the U.F.O. picnic on Thursday. Such a defeat to be handed! The Flesherton batters ran wild and combed four Van pjtchers for thirty hits, while they held their opponents acoreleiVT in seven of the nine innings, runs being counted in the second and ninth. Former Resident Dies WILLIAM C. KEEPER DIES AT 70 The game was too one-sided to be interesting for the fans to watch, but it was a sweet victory for Flesh- erton, because if they had lost tbey would have been eliminated from the play-off series; as it is they have a fair chance to oust Vandeleur from third place. THE CONSISTENT ONES ARE GETTING AHEAD Engagement Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Parslow, Hope- ville, wish to announce the engage- ment of their daughter, Alice Ivy. to Mr. Jack Watson Norman of Toronto, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Norman of Badjeros, the raariiiage to take place the latter part of August. Booming of securities and commodi- ties lias'' increased most of the busi- ness of those brokers and commission merchants who have been consistent advertisers during the depression. These are increasing their advertising in line with the new opportunities and they are doing much Ibetter than those competitors who abstained from advertising while business was dull. Those who have not been advertis- ing in the last few years are coming in again. They find that they have to do so to get the business and that they have to advertise much more than they otherwise would to regain the ground lost as a result of then long silence. Every business de- pression of the past has underlined this lesson but a lot of business men have to learn it anew each time.â€" Financial Post. Mel. Sled of the Flesherton team covered plenty of ground in centre field by making six catches with a perfect average and one assist. This was a great throw to third base to nip a runner, stealing. He also secured four hits in seven trips to the plate. ,We believe that Mel's work was a record for this league. William C. Keefer, a Flesherton old boy, died at his home in Chicago on Wednesday evening, July a6th He was in his 70th year and is sur- vived by his wife and two dau'ghters The late Mr. Keefer had been a resi- dent of Chicago for many years, oc- cupying a position of trust with the McCormick Il^tat(|i. The funeral took place on Friday afternoon, in- terment being made in Elmhurst cem- etery. He was an elder of long connection in the Presbyterian church and a member of the Masonic order. Hiis surviving brothers and sisters are: Mrs. D. E. Wright of Haztford. Conn.; Mrs. H. M. VanTassel of New York city; J. G. Keefer of Norwood Ont.; James T. Keefer of Kansas City, Mo., and Rev. R. Keefer ol Burlington, Ont. AND SO SHE'D " DNK Huctwith has come along fast late ly and is a sensation in batting. He collected six hits out of seven trips and caught the only fly ball that he had a chance on. Vandeleur trotted out Harvey White of Markdale for mound work and he was batted hard the first inning for eight runs, two of the hits going for two bases. The other pitchers were Russell Graham, Reg. Hutton and i Harold Hutton, but non of tiem were treated kindly. FALL FAIR DATES It's easy to tell a girl from a man even if both dress alike. The one that's listening is the man. Think back to the time when man used to jump his job because he didn't like it. ^ Judging by the number of students who passed the normal school exam- inations, the tremendous number of surplus teachers is not likely to be reduced for some time.

Harvey White and Norman Genoe batted well for Vandeleur with two hits from four times at bat, while Reg. Hutton hit a two and a three- baggejr on five trips. He played a fine game behind the bat. Howard Graham was caught five feet off first base in the first inning yvhen Phillips placed one over, after two other attempts had failed. Phillips pitched real good ball and allowed runs to be scored against hifi in only two innings. With ex- perience Bob is becoming a better pitcher and uses his head to good advantage. His controj. is also im- proving, as he only gave three walks, two of ^ them in the first inning, but two runners were caught on bases and with a strike-out retii/^d the side without any runs coming in. Out of the seven scoreless innings that Vandeleur were forced to accept Phillips had three batters face him in four of them and in the other three, fout; batters came to the plate. He ha^ six strike-outs \o his creait, besides havinjr very fair support in the field. This Thursday Flesherton travels to Ravenna for the first meeting with the Beaver Valley crew, while Van- deleur plays in Dundalk the same day. On Thursday, August 17th, Ravenna plays the return game in Flesherton. There are still two postponed games to play â€" Dundalk at Vandeleur and Dundalk at Kimberley.

Woman in Michigan, on relief foi a couple of years, and the mcthei cf eight children, received word thai a= uncle had died and left her $6,000 But why did he have to die first? (By Ark) Aunt Sara's dead, and tAiat's too bad, the folk they wrote the news today, they're fixing up her things and such since they have laid her quiet away. Aunt Sara used to li,ve back home and she was such a cheerful soul al- though she never had enough to buy herself a bin of coal. Her clothes were never very new and styles they never bothered her her garments of this year would be about the same as what they were. But when the neighbor folk took side Aunt Sara was the one they'd call, she seemed to know just what to do, the nursing, cooking, washing, all. When somSone died Aunt Sara went, she'd stay till everything was through, and folk they always used to say she knew exactly what to do. And she was always making things and giving them to those in need, it seemed she thought of nothing else but doing a kindly sort of deed. I mind Aunt Sara years ago and her as poor as she oould be, just how she ever got along was some- thing that has puzzled me. They say the day they buried her the whole town quit its work to go, and things were simple as could be, Aunl Sara never liked a show. It won't take long to fix her things, the few be'^ongings that she had, there'll be no fighting for her stuff, the folk will just be feeling bad. Yes, she was poor as she could be, yet she'd pass on all unafraid. I woudn't mind if I had a record like Aunt Sara made. The sale of liquor is still falling off in Ontario, and the reason may be that a good many folk have not yet found anything on which to stage a celebration.

FLESHERTON Coons - Chickens Mix Oil and water do not mix, but coons and 3 pound cockerels do. The truth of this verity was proven the other (lay when three coons, held in captiv- ity by Mr. Wes Armstrong for a fur- bearing enterprise, got loose. One of them, in his nocturnal wanderings, got into the hen hoos^ of Mrs. W. Boyd and proceeded to help himself to a little bit of wanton sport. When Mr. Coon finished his revels twenty- four cockerels, weighing about three pounds each, were scattered around tire floor in various postures of death. The coon was still there when the slaughter was discovered, surveying his handicraft with apparent pride. Needless to say, Cooney also passed on to the happy hunting grounds along with his feathered victims. Alto- gether it was a pretty costly satur- nalia for the coon, as well as for the owner of the 24 fine Plymouth Rock cockerels. ARE YOU A MIND READER An arm protruding from the side of the. car ahead, according to the Mon- treal Star, can signify any one of the following things: The motorist is (1) Knocking ashes off his cigarette; (2) Going to turn to the left; (3) Warning a small boy to shut up; (4) Going to turn to the right; (5) Point- ing to the scenery; (6) Going to back up; (7) Feeling for rain; (8) Telling his wife he is sure the front door is locked; (9) Going to stop. A young man swam through the rapids and whirlpool at Niagara for the first time, and the part we find it hard to underetand is that he did not pass the hat for collection. VOTERS' LIST, 1933, TO,WNSHIP OF ARTEMESIA The central space between trees in orchards utilized for crops should be treated under the cover crop system. Hoed crops like potatoes, strawber- ries, etc., are to be preferred to crops of grain and grass. Instances havf been recorded where tall growing in- tercrops, such as corn, when planted too close to the trees, have prevented the bark from properly ripening oi hardening, with the result that a large number of trees were killed by sun-scald the following winter.
