THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, 1933 »♦ • i • « • • > « 'I Hill Climbiog Record Woo Near Kimberley Three gruelling hill climbingr rec- ords were established near Flesher- ton over the week end when Chet Miller, noted United States speed racer, holidaying in the Georg*ian Bay country, consented to try the well-known hill climbs in this area at the invitation of the Canadian Automobile Association. These es- tablished Canadian records. The first feat was the Bowles Hill climb, a 1.07 mile stretch of rough g'rav«l road with three sharp elbow turns and three steep pitches. Sit- uated immediately west of the Eu- genia Falls hydro plant and having an approximate grade of 15 per cent, the flying start time run was com- pleted by Miller in his Terraplane Six in 1 minute, 48 seconds. The hill was then successfully negotiated in high gear from a standing start, a feat never before accomplished on this mountain climb. No time vf&i recorded on this. Miller then swung across to the west slope of the Kimlberley Moun- tains. The average grade of this mountain road is 17 per cent., the difficulties being enhanced by the rough gravel svtrface, an S-tum and a sharp eibow turn with a 22 per cent, slope. The distance is nine- tenths of a mile. From a standing start at the bridge which crosses the west branch of the Beaver River Miller completed a high gear climb to the summit in 1 minute, 59-3-5 seconds. Miller then tackled the ea^t slope cf the Kimberley Mountains, the most difficult and hazardous of the three climbs of the day. This is a 1.02 mile stretch with an approximate 16 per cent, grade, a dirt road with stretches of baked clay, gravel and outcropping rock formations that are dangerous. To add to the difficulty of negotiating this steep mountain climb, there are three sharp elbow turns. The high gear climb from a standing start at the bridge at the foot of the mountain was completed in 2 minutes 50 seconds flat. A Big Salmon Trout Flesherton Made Sure Of Play-ofr Berth The town of Meaford gives three prizes each year to the party who catches the largest salmon trout dur- ing the season. Up until Saturday last the record was held for a fish weighing 28 pounds, when Roy H. Ritzhaunt of Niagara Falk, N. Y., stepped into the ring with a fish weighing 30 lbs. The Advance had the pleasure of seeing this monster. The fish was not a handsome speci- man being coarse looking and "pot bellied." It was a foot in diameter and must have been an ancient. SEMPLEâ€" LAWRENCE A wedding of interest took place at 6 o'clock Saturday evening in St. John's Anglican church, Weston, when Lillian Amelia Lawrence, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Lawrence, Harding Avenue, North York, was married to Alfred Alexand- er Semple, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Semple of Eugenia Falls, Rev. iW. E. Mackey officiating. The bride was charming in a gown of white satin, made on long lines, and wore a lace veil with orange blossoms, and carried roses and lily-of-the-valley. Miss Laura Wigmore of Mount Dennis, the bridesmaid, was in blue crepe with matching accessories, and also car- ried roses and lily-of-the-valley. Mr. James Lawrence- was groomsman, and Mr. George Lawrence and Mr. Jack HaleSj ushers. Miss Olive Huff played and Miss J. David-son sang. Following the ceremony a reception was held in the Hardington .\nglican Mission. Mr. and Mrs. Semple left on a short motor trip to points in Western Ontario, the bride travelling in a grey serge suit with accessories to match. On their return they will reside at 296 Indian Road Crescent. Mrs. St-mple has the distinction ot being the first bride to have her marriage banns called in the Hard- ington Mission. The groom wa-s known in this vicinity as Fred Semple; we wish the happy couple a long and happy journey thi-ough life. Camp Ends At Holstein A leader's camp, he-Id at Holstein July 14 to 16, although rather a new venture in this district, was most suc- cessful. It was planned for leaders of young f>eopl«, Sunday school wo»k- 8r», and anyone interested in such work. "The camp was organized to a large extent through the efforts of Alex Sim, Pxemi«r of 1935 bo>'8 Parlia- ment. UnJer the direction of Rev. A. K. Duffield of Toronto a program ot very profitable discvssioos, addresses, â- worship services, campfire sessions and recreation was carried out. A group from Hamilton and Dundas most capably sup(erv*sed the rec- reational activities of camp. A scries of meetings is being plann- ed for the fall. In various centres of th:-.5 district. It is hoped that tho-se will he well-attended by young people and leaders of young people. An Abieo Groundhog Wm. Plester of Lot 8, Con. 9, Pro- ton, is the proud possessor of a pal' of albino groundhogs. He found the two in his field. One of them trekked for his home hole, while the other stood its ground and allowea itself to be picked up. Mr. Ples»;er then went for his trenching tools and dug the animal out. They are pure white â€" as white as any white rabbit â€"and half grown. The animals are male and female. It is most un- usual to find such pure white albior.s in the animal world. When this con- dition does occur the subject is most- ly of a dirty white. Mr. Plester is quite proud of his capture. It will be interesting to learn if this pair would breed more white, groundhogs. Flesherton closed the Centre Grey Baseball League schedule Saturday afternoon with a decided win over Ravenna by a score of 12-7. This win leaves Flesherton in third place and in a play-off berth, providing that N'andeleur loses to Dundalk in their postponed game, the locals hav- ing finished the sea-son with four straight wins after four defeats. The first inning Ravenna threw a scare into the Flesherton ranks by five men flashing over the pan with runs, while Flesherton collected one. Eleven men faced Phillips in this inning and when the smoke from six hits and a walk cleared away there were still three men on bases when the third man was out. After this disastrous inning Phillips tightened up and allowed only two runs in the next eight innings. He had excellent support in the field. Jack McLeod at short stop being especially brilliant at making catches and picking up grounders. Following i-s the box score: Showing At Exhibition Flesherton will be represented in the competitive classes of Handicrafts at the Canadian National Exhibition this year. Mrs. H. A. McCauley has made her entry which will be displayed in ^he Women's Building between August 25 and September 9.

The game resulted in a 1-1 tie, -with Jack Brackenbury scoring the Priceville goal on a pass for a clear shot. Collingwood tennis players were in Flesherton on August 10th for a tournament, which resulted in a tie. Clarksburg came to town last Thurs- day afternoon, but rain interferred with the tiournament. This Thursday th:i Flesherton players will be in Collingwood for a tournament, and the following week at Clarksburg. McLeod, Best and Sled had a splen- did afternoon with the willow, the former two slamming three hits on five trips and the latter three hits from four tries. Gardner was the best for Ravenna with three hits from five times at bat. Regiment Returns "D" Company of the Grey Regi- ment returned on Friday last fx-om the annual camp at Victoria Park, Owen Sound. , All report the camp the best one in experience, the sur- roundings congenial and the food the best that could be expected. The city of Owen Sound has gone to great expense in fitting up this park as an entertainment area and have the entire grounds in excellent condition. In each of the tents in the lines cjf the officers and men elejtric lights were installed, which added consider- ably to the convenience of the men. Wash stands for the men were built and showers erected, which were en- joyed by all who used them. We heard many comments from the men on the excellent facilities provided for them and they hoped that the camp would again be taken to Owen Sound. The Flesherton Company had a pleasant visit during the week from four old members of No. 6 company. 31st Regiment, in the persons cf W. J. Bellamy, John Weber. John Wright and Jos. Field, two of whom, Mr. Weber and Mr. Field, possess the medal for long service in the volun- teer forces. The average combined ages of the men is about 78 year^ and all first went to camp with the 31st Regiment from 53 to 62 years ago. It was a pleasure for the of- ficers and men of the company to have these highly regarded citizens visit the camp^and notice the many changes that have taken place in regimental camp life since they first attended. Osprey Bsm Burned During the severe electric storm which passed over this district on Saturday evening the large bam on the L. O. Moore & Sons homestead on the Centre Line of Osprey, two miles west of Badjeros. was struck by lightning and completely destroy- ed by fire. The alarm was given i^y Sid Priddle who with his family- occupy the house on the pr.operty. The barn contained twenty-five tons of hay, ten tons of straw and some grain of last year's cru<j. ilr. Laud- er St. John of Hopeville who was visiting with the Priddle's over the week end and had his horse tied in the stable, was able to get it out safely and also drive out five head of cattle which were lying in the stable at the time the bolt struck. The fact that a heavy rain fell while the fire raged saved the house and also the barn on the adjoining prop- erty owned by Wesley Macklem. The loss was partly covered by insurance. The house was ablaze three times but in each instance the blaze was extinguished by willing helpers. It is the- intention to start re-building at once. â€" Dundalk Herald. PORTLAW ^^ Dr. R. Morton, wife and child of Philadelphia visited with the former's parents on the Centre Line. Quite a number from this part took in the Black Knight's celebration at Collingwood. Miss Gertrude Littfe holidayed with her un.'le and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. H. V. Gaudin, Toronto. Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Meldrum have both been quite ill of la'e, the latter seriously. Their many friends wish for them a speedy restoration to their former good health. Mrs. Florence Lyons and daughter, Jean, visited with the former's sister at Drayton last week. Miss Florence Tuohy spent a few days with friends at Paisley. John Blakey is visiting with his sisters in Toronto. Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Boyce of New Ontario visited with their home folk last week. Misses Ruby and Ethel Yates of Berkeley visited with their uncle and aunt. Mr. and Mrs. S. Shiers. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall and Mr. Wm. Lyons of Toronto visited at the home of Mi's. J. W. Lyons. The Women's Association of Rock Mills Baptist church held their reg- ular monthly meeting on Wednesday last at the home of Mrs. Laurie Betts. Upon invitation the ladies of Mount Zion W. A. met with them and en- joyed the hospitaible fellowship of their sister association. Mr. and Mrs. Walker and the Miss- es Hannah of Markdale visited with Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Walker. A number of people of this part at- tended the diamond jubilee services of the Baptist church in Collingwood. /5 Graham Beard caught a great game for Flesherton, but was woefully weak at the bat, striking out each of his five trips to the plate. At Rav- enna on .August 10th he secured three hits on five times at bat, one of them being a home run to centre field. In the same game Phillips hit the long- est home run of the season, a clean blow over the centre field fence at Ravenna. Flesherton won this game 17-12. Pearen pitched a very good game for Ravenna, allowing four walks and hitting one batter, at the same time striking out eight batters. Phil- 1:>>5 struck out six and gave three walks. He tightened up after the first inning and was practically in- vincible. Nine men were left on bases by each team. Why Dundalk did not have one of their postponed gamee played last week is a mystery to us, as the only game scheduled wa» the one in Flesh- erton. Dundalk has games with both Vandeleur and Kimberley and they •re importaat ones t*o. • The Leadue head should have seen that one of these games were played, or else have both of them held in one week. -HAVE VOr RENKWEP? Bob Dargavel was in his s«cond gaaie of the saason and his one hit at three times to bat was a slashing .iodblc and scored on Ku«twith('s triple. Ken Betis covered first base in his usual jtyle and Cecil McTavish held down secor.d equally as well.
