The fire was blazing fiercely underneath the hood when discovered. There was a short delay while the alarm was turned in and when the firemen arrived a couple of minutes later the inside of the car was a mass of flames, which were soon subdued by the fire apparatus. The chassis and tires were not injured to anv extent, but the body and the engine wiring was of no further use. Mr. Wilson told The .A.dvance that he carried coverage for fire.

Stewart Cooper, in his ill- ustrated address in the Vandeleur Community Hall a few weeks ago, made at least two statements that should meet with general approval One was that action should be taken to mark the birth places, or child- hood homes, within the county ol persons of note. He mentioned Sib Wm. Hearst, Nellie McClung, Cora E. Hind, Isabelle Lougheed and others, whose early life was spent in Grey County and who have achieved fame in one field or another. Not only is it the least we can do in re- cognition of services rendered, but would be an inspiration to the rising generation and good advertising for the county. Other places are not slow to capitalize on things of this nature. Just recently we read that in Prince Edward Island a memorial is being erected to Mrs. L. M. Mont- gomery, author of "Ann of Green Gables." The other statement wa.s "better care should be taken of our forests and wood lots." In this connection we might add that a forestry expert in South-Westem Ontario predicts that the majpie tree will soon be ex- tinct. The chief causes, re remarked, were mismanagement of the wood lot and the increase of disease. It is truly a heart-break to lovers ol nature to see he way in which some wood lots are being slaughtered, but at the same time a person cannot help but marvel at the efficiencv of modem loyiping methods. In this community, at the present time, the timiber is being taken from a farm in the valley and roads have been rr-ade down into ravines where it was difficult for horses and sleighs to go even in winter time. Huge trucks go right into the bush and in a few min- utes are loaded by a mechanical de- vice, with as man,v as 30 large logs. and within a couple of hours they are 40 or 50 miles away. Yes, this is an age of eflFiciency, with mass production and mass destruction but whither is it leading? FLESHERTON GREY LEAGUE CHAMPIONS Flesherton won the championship of the South Grey SofbBall League on Friday evening by taking th«. third straight gaiiie from Eugenia Trout Kings by the score lU-1. The two previous games re-sulttd in- the scores of (>-5 and 7-5. Errors on the part of Eugenia was the main cause of their downfall Friday night, as Tom Bemrose pitched a good game and had six strike-outs to his credit, to three by Russ. .\ndrews for Fle- sherton, but the' nine errors did not help his cause. Flesherton had seven his and Eugenia five, but .Andrews did not allow a walk and Bemrose gave three free passes, one of which lestilted in a run. In the three games the team batt- ing favored Eugenia with .251, aigainst an average for Flesherton of .244, but Ken Betts o£ Flesherton had the highest batting average of .o'S&, with Leslie Seeley, Eugenia, ne.x.t with .500. ''Hank" Best, Flesh- erton, and Lloyd Partridge, Eugenia, were tied for thii-d place with .454 average and Jack Milne, Flesherton fourth with .428. A home run on a technical strike- out was the oddest event we have seen this year. Jack Milne shot for first base when The Eugenia catcher dropped the third strike and was safe when the pitch went wild to first and into the outfield. Jack Dedication Of Conununion 1 Table At Feversham Church The dedication of a communion table in Burn* Presbyterian Church, Feversham, to the glory of God and in loving memory of Mrs. William Moffat, was made by her two daugh- ters, Mina and Gertrude. Burns Church was filled almost to capacity when Dr. Shein, assisted by the pre- sent student-veteran, Granville Tay- lor-Munro, held special service as memorial ""for all the saints who from their labors rest." Mrs. J. Cra\vford (Mina I attended the ser- vice to represent the donors of tht tfift, iierself and Mrs. W. A. Blaschke iGern-ude) of Preston, who was un- able to be present. Dr. Shein took his text from the prophecies of Habakkuk 3:18 (Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will juv in the God of my salvation). He show- ed a parallel in the promised despair and catastrophe for the people in the day of the prophet, to that of our own day of wars, new and heavy burdens, and pendinsr disaster. Hi pointed out that there were three reasons why the prophet could giv'.' I such a brave witness in the face oJ nich (lark prospects: he had a stead- fast faith in God: he appropriated Cod's view of history; he saw tha' j hi= life is governed primarily by ; moral and scriptural laws.
