®hje JkB\)txim %hnmu. - VOL. 56; NO. 49. WEDNESDAY, MAY 12, 1937 VV, H. THURSTON & SON, Proprietor « )}• r- Stole Wool From Nuhn Warehouse Leslie Wright of Swinton Park was arrested by Con&table S. H. Cooke at his home on Saturday morning for the theft of wool from the wurehouse of Mr. John Nuhn in Flesherton. He acknowledged the theft and when taken to Owen Sound Police Court following' his arrest pleaded gruiHj on a charge of breaking, entering and theft. Magistrate Spereman remand- ed Wright until May 15th for sen- tence. The theft was discovered when Mr. Nuhn went to work at 7.30 in the morning and information was laid with Constable Cooke. Mr. Walter Dungey, -who resides near the ware- house, saw a car parked in front of the building around midnight and took the license number. With this information the owner of the car was located and a visit made to his home when, after questioning, admitted his guilt. Five bags of wool, weighing about 140 pounds, were found in the bam antl returned to the owner. Mrs. Robt. Weir Dies Friends deeply sympathize with Mr. Robert Weir, in the death of his wife, which occurred Wednesday morning. She had been in ill-health several years. Bom at Singhampton, Jessie, daughter of the late Dr. and Mrs. Snell, she spent the greater part of her life there. Some twenty years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Weir moved to Nottawa where they have since made their home. Mrs. Weir was a mem- 'ber of the United Church and active in its work. .^mong those from this district who attended the funeral of the late Mrs. Weir were: Mr. and Mrs. John Stew- art. Mr. and Mr?. Geo. Caims, Mr. and" Mrs. Edgar Patterson, Mr. and Mrs. 'John Nichol, 'Mrs. Jos. Blakeley, Mrs. Will. Moore. Mrs. Ross Stevens, Mrs. Thos. Gilchrist, Mr. and Mrs. Ward Harrison, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Johnson. Mr. R.. Bentham. Mr. and Mrs. John Parkor and Wm. Beaton. Deer Broke Its Neck A fine buck deer came suddenly to the end of its life on Friday morning of la.st week on the farm of Mr. .\llan Gillies, Pretty River Valley, north of Feversham, when it attempted to jump a fence when in full flight, breaking its neck. Mr. Gillies saw the accident Occur and immediately bled the animal and called the police. Constable S. H. Cooke of Flesherton investigated and brought the deer to town where it was skinned and the meat given to needy families in the district. The British Market According to the terms of the new Canada-United Kingdom trade pact, recently made public by Hon. Chas. Dunning, Minister of Finance, when the 1937 budfret wa.s presented to the House of Commons, Canadian farm- ers will continue to have free entry to the British markets for bacon, hams, cattle, beef and dairy products. The quota on bacon remains at 280,- 000,000 pounds per annum, which gives bacon hog producers ample scope to expand their business. Can- adians are safeguarded in exports of cattle and meat up to 50.000 head of cattle per annum, and the value is enhanced by the one and one-half cents per pound duty on foreign chilled beef imposed by the United Kingdom last December. No change was made in the 1932 agreement re- garding dairy products which were accorded free entry. While the United Kingdom was at liberty to apply preferential control against Canadian dairy products at the term- ination of the previous agreement, no action has been taken.

Mother's Day Service The Mother's Day service in St. John's United Church on Sunday last was attended by a large and interest- ed congregation. The "Order of Service," as supplied by the publish- ing house was not strictly adhered to as the Sabbath school joined in the worship by adding several items of great merit and the congregation entered joyously into the spirit of the day. The church was lavishly decor- ated with flowers. The Pastor was assisted by members of the Sabbath schooL Mr. Wm. Parker read the Scripture Lesson; Mr. Wm. Miller, the superintendent, led in prayer; Mr. C. R. Wright gave a children's story; three little girls, Jean Duncan, Jean McTavish and Diana Goldsborough recited Psalm 27th in unison, and (lid it perfectly, speaking in a clear voice. Mr. Murray Inkster of To- ronto sang in his usual pleasing style, Mr. Service reminded the large con- urregation of the influence which his Grandmother Lois and his mother, Eunice had in the life of Paul's beloved helper, "my own son in the faith," as I he called young Timothy. The evening service wr*: taken from the text, "there stood by the Cross of Jesus his mother"; those who heard it, say it wa.< an outstanding sermon, among good ones given by Mr. Ser- vice.

The world in general, and the British Empire in particular, today gaz- es on the greatest display of pomp and ceremony that the world has ever seen, tvhen George VI and Queen Elizabeth are crowned as the first gentle- man and lady of the land â€" our new King and' Queen. It will surpass in magnificence of robes, jewel;; and pomp and circumstance the splendors of ths great moguls, the triumphal processions of the Cdesars or the adorn- ments of the imperial Czars or any other great event in history. Thou- sands of people from all countries have journeyed to London to view this sreat spectayl* and, besides, several million will be lining the six miles of streets through .which the procession passes to view and pay homage to the new King and Queen, while on their way to Westminster .\bbey to be crowned as rulers of the greatest Empire the world has ever seen, and the , triumphant return following the coronation. Through the invention of radio millions of his loyal subjects througiiout the world will be enabled to enjoy the coronation when commentators will present a word picture of the occurrences at the Empire capital of the great procession, the cor- onation itself, and the return of the new monarch and his consort to their official residence. The procession reaches Westminster .i.bbey and files into the 1,000 year old church, where 7.00O notables of the Empire â€" Lords and ladies, rulers "f the countries in the British Commonwealth of Nations, and others of high rank in foreign countries â€" have gathered hours previous to witness the thrilling spectacle of the crowning of a king. Theie is a stir in the old .\bbey as the .\rchbishop steps forward. « Be- hind him stand the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Great Chamberlain, the Lord High Constable, the Earl Marshall. It is the great ceremonial â€" The Recognition. Turning to each of the four sides of the theatre, as the place where the Throne stands is known, the priest cries in a loud voice: ''Sirs! I h('rr present unto you Kinig George, the Rirhtful Inheritor of the Crown of this Realm, Wherefore all you tha* are c>nie this Day, to do your Homage. Service and Boundep Duty, are you willling to do the same?" At each challenge the King stands facing those addressed, who answer with a great shout "God Save King George!" Trumpets sound through the .Abbey, and there follows the Solemn litany â€" and such sermon as there may b'\ Then follows the Oath, where the .\rchbishop. standing before the King, says: "Sir, is your Majesty willing to take the Oath?" to which the King answers, "I am willing." Then follows the anointinc- or consecrating. Four Knights of the Gar- ter hold a rich canopy of cloth of gold over their Majesties, while the D'an jf Westminster pours a little of the const.'rated oil from the gold ampulla into a spoon which the .\rchbishop takes from him. There is a deep sil- ence while the .Archbishop anoints first the King and then the Queen, mak- ing the sign of tbu cross on the head and on the palms of both hands. .â- Vftev the anoint-iig. the King i- invested with the golden spurs, the sword of state is girded upon him, th â-  imperial mantle of cloth of gold is placed upon his shoulders, the ring i mn his fimrer. and the orb and sceotre in his hand. Then the .Archbishop takes St. Edwards crown from the altar and solemnly places it upon the King's head. At the same moment the peers put on their coronets, the peoole cheer, the drums roll and the trum- f>ets sound, you hear a great booming of cannon from the Tower, where the Royal Salute of 21 guns is being fired â€" and another King has been crowned. LONG MAY HE REIGN Whaling There is a very touching story con- nected with the whaling industry. The larirest shin in that trade and the largest tanker in the world is the Terje ^"iken. virtually a tloatin^ oil factory. This great vessel of 43,000 tons was financed in Sweden built in (jermany. manned almost entirely by Norwegians and sails to the -Antarc- tic whaling grounds under the British flag. ^ Terje Tiken was the name of a Nor- wegian sailor who wus captured by the Brit:.-ih during the Napoleon i^- Wars. When \\q \\-.\s, r^kasej and had returned home h-.- foupd h;s fajn- ily had died of sta'-va'^ion. He de-. rermine<i to sink the first British ship \w saw. Tlii,< he did within a f"w ySars and he Aecame a national hero. The ''act t'"^; :' ship can-y^ns such a name is now -sailing the hivrh seas un- der the- Brhish flair, »» a sign of the splendid relationshio between the Briton and the Norseman. It is 'a fine showing of tli^ heart of sailor folk everywhere. â- < . The .Arctic «nd the Canadian .Atlan- tic Coast were once the centre of the whalinff industry and the stories of ships sailing out of Dundee fired our imagination, but now it is the .Ant- arctic, and the Norwegian have taken the place r>f the Scots as \\'halers. Onjv on the Pacific Coast of Caiiada is there much left of whaling in th^' Northern Hemisphere. The catch of whales last vear was 202. giving 427.000 irallons of oil, 21 ' tons of meal and 354 tons of fertil- izer, with a total value of all products if «10.i,36O, Thei-e are two whaling stations in British Columbia, both lo- cated in the Queen Charlotte Islands. The exports of whale oil amotmted to r":! per cent, of the production ant' practically all went to th? United States. jTniil^ Rangers' j Corner \ Rev, G. R, Service, B- -A.. Scribe Even though it was rainy, yet 10 boys turned up for their Friday night session at the town hall. Spring is here, and all the old bicycles are get- ting' their spring overhauling and some of the boys are giving their's a new coat of paint. , Next week they are going to try for their cy- cist's badge, which requires tha- a boy be able to (a) repair a punctured tire, (b) Teach one person to ride. (c) Can-y a verbal message five miles and repeat it correctly on delivery. (d) o at least two errands on wheel without remuneration each week for six consecutive weeks, (e) Ride one mile on four and on half minutes, (f) Ride 11 mdes in one hour. Jesus not only increased in know- ledge and wisdom, he also increased in stature. That is he grew a good strong healthy body. We have a duty to look after our bodies and keep them healthy, just as much as to go to school and develop our minds. H. N. Burr says: "It is great fun to live in the glorious open air. fragrant with the smell of the woods and flowers; it is fun to swim and fish and hike over the hills; it is fun to sit about the camp fire and spin yarns, or watch in silence the glowing embers." It is a mistake however, to think that all the fun in life is found in play. .As a matter of fact among the most enjoyable feelings we ever have is that which comes from having clone some work which was worth while in a credible way. We should see to it that we are developing the cleanest, keenest, stronirest body it is po.ssible for us to iave. so that we nia.v have a good house in which to live an<i a well trained instrument with which to do our work and serve Dur fellow men. Good health in- creases our capacity to work â€" to have fun. and to be useful. Ther" is a time when much reading maketh a man mad â€" when it is the reading of opinions he strongly dis- agrees with.

Full particulars from any agent Canadian Pacific Should Tighten Up In a recent issue of the Toronto ' Telegram, the following question and : answer appeared. I Question â€" Can a person in receipt of old age pension make a will leaving 1 anything he possesses to anyone he chooses or does his estate go to the government. .Answer â€" You can make. a will, dis- posing of your estate in any way you choose. The Old Age Pension Com- mission can claim from your estate amounts advanced to you during your lifetime, but this power is seldom, if ever, exercised so far as we are aware. It is altogether likely that when the province gets down to the serious business of administering Old .Age Pensions that the full power of the law will he invoked. There ave numerous cases where old persons would be maintained by the children if the res- idue of the estate reverted to the gov- ernment. In other words it should be obvious that the whole scheme of Old .Age p.jiisiops was dcsicned to help thg aged and needy and not their children. BORN BOICE â€" In Mrs, Xuhn's Private HcSspital.
