TURNEY FRED BROWN Reeve Howard McCauley was chos-j en as Reeve for 1932 by acclamation at the nominations of the village of Flesherton on Monday evening. Six 1 were nominated for the council: F. J.i Mathewson, C. N. Richardson, G. B. I Welton, J. O. Dargavel, last year's ' council, and A. Down and F. J. Thurs- 1 ton. The latter two withdrew from ' the field, as it was felt that the pros- j ent council had considerable work a-i head in clearing up the pavement question. They did splendid work this past year and their efforts are appreciated by the ratepayers of the village. All the old coiir.il was present with] the exception of Mr. Richardson and all gave account of their year's work. The meeting was very orderly and there was an entire absence of quest- ioning relative to the paving, so the people of the village are satisfied with their conduct this year. Reeve McCauicy dealt with the pavement work to some length, men- 1 tioned County Council matters and also brought up a question of fire' protection. He has several schemes I in view and will secure data on costs etc., which will be set before the rate- payers at a future date for their con- sideration. HORSE GETS DRUNK ON ALDER BERRY WINE From Port Talbot near St. Thomas, comes the report of a horse that be- came intoxicated on elderberry wine and broke its own neck on a foolish jump over the barnyard fence. The horse, usually a staid and depend- able old beast, got its nose into the .vine and drank copiously. The wine was not long in taking effect, the horse did practically everything but turn handsprings, and finally inspired by some vision of its youthful past, it ran at the barnyard fence, leaped over it and landed on its neck. Damages of $2,000 and costs were awarded by Mr. Justice Jeffrey to Harry Thomson in his suit against the town of Barrie for damages for injuries sustained when he fell on a defective sidewalk.

SOMF HIGHWAYS TO BE CLOSED Owing to the need for economy in highway expenditure, it is possible that some of the less-travelled provin- cial highways will not be kept open this winter by department snow-plow.5. There would be a certain advantage in leaving the snow on the pavements in rural districts, as the bare pave- ment ties up farmers. They have to use sleighs to get out from the con- cessions and when the highway has been cleared of snow the sleighs are useless. On the other hand the rural populaton can't get to the highways with cars when the snow lies deep on the concession roads. The result Is thus apt to be a complete tie-up. This situation existed several times last winter in Western Ontario. St Mary's Journal. DANCE A dance will be held at Proton, or Friday, December 4th, 19.11, under the auspicies of L. 0. L. No. 244.
