HURRY: Seats are selUng fast! The Toronto At-Home One of the most successful ".â- X.t Home" gatherings of the Flesherto* Old Boys' and Oris' Association was held in Toronto Monday evening oi' this week, when over 350 attended and enjoyed a splendid evening of fellowship, euchre and dancing. A large contingent of 41 people went down from Flesherton to join with the boys and girls from there and other distant points in this annual mid-season fraternizing. Many old familiar faces were not to be found due to circumstances and their pre- sence wa.s missed. Dancing was en- joyed to music from a first class orchestra and the floor was filled with enjoyment seekers for both the modern and old-time dances. Who should do the calling but an old resi- dent of the Ceylon district, who has guided the square dances there in years past, Frank Cairns, who has lost none of his vigor since sojourning in the city. Special entrance prizes were given to half a dozen lucky ticket holders, but the main prize of the evening was that to the oldest gentleman and lady present. This was won by Mr. and Mrs. Richard Smith, well known here, who are 84 and 81 respectively who enjoyed the proceedings as much as those years younger. Quite a number of tables of euchre were played, the winners of the prizes being: Ladies â€" first. Mrs. Gordon Badgerow; second. Mi-s. J. R. Consley. Men's â€" first, W. Poulter; second, H. C. LeGard. Mr. Fred LeGard con- ducted the euchre, while Mr. C. J. Crossley was Master of Ceremonies for tlid dancing. Featured on tjie program was tap dancing by Elaine Cook, 9 years old, while Miss Mary K. Perigee, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Perigoe. also brought applause from the gathering for her clog dancing, so gracefully given, to which she gave an encore. .A.mong those from Flesherton who attended the "At Home" were: Mr. and Mrs. W. Turney, Mrs. Ed. Fisher, Ruth Turney, Elma Hamilton, George Boyd, J. A. Senn, Ruby Akitt, Mr. and Mrs. F. Gorrell, Mrs. W. Moore, Mr. and Mrs. Ab. Stewart, Jos. Field, Mr. and Mrs. F. Finder, Mrs. G. E. Henry, Mrs. W. E. Morgan, H. C. Le- Gard, F. H. W. Hickling, Mrs. W. A. .-Armstrong, Mr. and Mrs. Alf. Down, Milford Piper, Mrs. Geo. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Dimean, Jean Duncan, Jean McTavish, Harold Best, Mrs. T. Brady, Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Thurston, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Wauchope, Ben Leavell, Chas. Adams, Marion Miller, C. S. McTavish and Mr. and Mrs. G. .\. McTavish. A MERCIFUL PEACE URGE D BY M INISTER Rev. G. K. McMillan, pastor of St. John's United Church, made refer- ence to the address of Duff Cooper, British Member of Parliament, broad- cast to Canada one evening last week, and stated that he did not think the German people were behind Hitler in this war. Rev, McMillan's reference was as follows: "Duff Cooper's recent speech was a most unfortunate one. It was too bad that Mr. Churchill, because of attending a meeting of the War Council in Paris, was unable to keep the speaking engagement. Until this one, speeches by leading statesmen since the beginning cf war have been filled with promise, because they in- dicated that this war is being fought on a basis that peace, real peace, will be possible when it is over. Mr. Chamberlain, Mr. Churchill, and our own Prime Minister have said again and again that we have no quarre' with the German people, our quarrel is with the Nazi government, which is anything but a government of the people. But Duff Cooper has fallen from this considered and fair posi- tion, and in his iall hopes to take many with him. He denounced as common sinners, the Georman people and the German government. 'Hitler says the entii'e German people is behind him,' Duff Cooper said, 'I, for one, am prepared to take him at his v.ord.' Surely the Tause for which Britain is fighting is worthy enough to enlist the total support of her people without these unchristian ap- peals to that beastly spirit in men, hatred of their fellows. If we follow Duif Cooper, this war will be followed by the same kind of peace with which the last ended, for a lasting peace must be a merciful peace, and there can be no mercy shown toward those we are taught to hate." Largest F»sh Again V Caught At Eugenia -Artemesia Township and the Eu- genia Hydro pond in particular, again demonstrated its superiority in large speckled trout when the largest fish of the opening of the season was caught by Douglas Free of Meaford. a 12-year-old lad who caught his Sun- day evening, tipping the scales at 3 pounds 10^ ounces and measured 18 1^ inches in length. Douglas won a bicycle as the winner of the boys' section in the fishing competition, outclassing the men's section by over a pound. Arthur Bell, principal of the Priceville school, took third place in the men's section with a fine trout of 2 pounds 5*4 ounces caught in the Saugeen river at Priceville. and his prize was a fine bait casting coutfit. rod, reel, line and basket complete. Donald McMillan of Priceville had an entry of 11^ ounces, 12 inches long, in the boys' competition, which had many fine specimen on display. Keith Carruthers, 8 years old, of Kimberley caught a fine trout in the Beaver River, 15 '4; inches in length and weighing 1 pound 9 ounces. Con- gratulations are extended to these fishermen for upholding the honor of the district. As far as the Eugenia lake is con- cerned it can always be counted upon to produce one of th" largest fish, but the easterly wind Friday and Satur- day was the cause of so few large fish being caught. Sunday afternoon the wind changed to the south-west and the large fish was caught in the evening. 7 MR. AND MBS. WM. KAITTING HONORED BEFORE LEAVING ANY OLD ARTICLES? E. VAN DUSEN DIES Word was received on Tuesday of the death of Mr. Edward (Ted) Van Dusen, which occurred at Portland, Oregon, on Friday of last week, April 26th.

His last visit to his old home was about 19 years ago. after which he again went to the Western United States. No further particulars are to hand at the time of going to press. Looks as if Winston Churchill has what it takes to smash the Nazi war machine. Have you anything stored in your attic? Is your cellar cleared? Save that old rocker. How about the lamp you have no use for? Those clothes have more wear in them! You coun- try people â€" How about those extra eggs, one of those broilers, a bag of potatoes, anything in the line of equipment that you don't need, can be saved and given for the big rummage sale to he held in Flesherton shortly in the interests of the Red Cross.
