THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WED. SEPTEMBER 11 1932 : . i f-rt No Extra Dams For Eugenia Power Recently lumcrs have been current • of a hydro project for a new dan. to be erected in, the Beaver Valley by the Hydro Commission. Wo be- lieve thern to be only rumors as it is not likely that the Hydro has any intention of building a dam on the property in question. The land in question is situated by the Beaver river in the Valley. When the waters of the Beaver river were diverted i. 1014 from its natural fall over thb Eugenia Falls and down the valley a mill site, owned by Mr. Andrew Graham, was destroyed thereby and compensation was asked. The case has been pending since that time and only recently became active again, with the notice of exprovriation pub- Kshed a few weeks ago. A number of years ago a saw mill and chopping mill was in operation by the Gra- hams, but has not been in use for a good many years. We believe that the above is an answer to the rum- ors and that a dam on that property is not considered. Sweet Trick By Bees Mr. D. McTavih has a real problem or; his hands and hopes that some expert will .send him a solution. One •^1 the chimneys on hi-i rtj.Tidencj had not been in use for the past seven years. One day last week occasion was found to use it and a fire was started in a stove of which the chim- rey fojTned the smok.' c':il. Or. thi.? occasion, however, there was a bark fire and the room w.is filled with smoke. The chimney would not draw. Investigation at the top dis- L'losed the fact that a colony of honey bees had taken possession of the chimney and had probably been hous- ed in it for several year;. .V stick was shoved down the -rhiinney and it was found that there was at least six feet of comb and honey in the flue. Then honey began trickling down into the room below. The problem is, how will the little busy bees be dislodged and the chimney cleaned out. The question has not yet been answered. Come along with your suggestions. No High School Rale A rortain amount of relief is being given to the tax payers in Artemesia Township this year by the withdrawl of the trustees' rate. A considerable j surplus is on hand at the present | time which justifies the dropping of ! the rate for this year. This will be of great interest to most of the tax payers in the township. AMUSING ERRORS IN PRINT Humorous mistakes creep into every paper at some time or other. Recent- ly the Simcoe Reformer carried this heading: "Farmers Viceless at Econ- omic Conference." Surely that speaks well ifor the farmers in these days when they are driven almost to des- peration by economic conditions. The Mount Forest Confederate tells this one: A week or two ago one of our esteemed correspondents sent in items describing events in connection with the leaving of a young lady, evidently to get married. There were presen- tations o<f a china tea set, and the closing remark, as it appeared in type to our proof-reader, was: "Our best dishes go with her. The ladies of the Presbyterian As- sociation are holding a cake sale on Saturday a-temoon at Mrs. Hanley's late residence. The sale will start at 4 p.m. and a corn roast will be given at night. Priceville Memorial .A.t a fairly well atteided settling- up-meeting for the year of the Mem- orial Organization on Satuvuay last, all costs and expendituvc-s were sat- isfactorily settled. Comm:ttee? were appointed to look afte â-  certain im- provements, in procedure, in the uTcunds and in the general manage- ment. A hearty vote of appreciation was passed and left in the hands of Stcretai-y to pass on. to the various speakers who took part in the ser- vices, which Mr. McBride, our nev; station agent here, in a hn-i speech, descx-ibed as the best nf the many he had attended elsewhere. On motion the past year's officers were all re- elected en broc, viz, W. G. Watson, l'?esident; W. W. Ramagj. Sijcrotary; M'rs. Farquhar McKinnon, Treasurer. A. comfortable balance was left on hand to make contemplated improve- ments that may ;be desired. An honorarium was given the Secretary for clerical services. The meeting was held at the comfortable home of Mr. and Mrs. Aldcom. Are Moving Buildicg Work commenced on Tuesday on the moving of the old town hall from the property on Toronto street, where it has stood for the past 30 years. The removal of this building niak?s way for the erection of a $6,000 building to be used by both Prince Arthur Loi^e No. 333, A.F.&A.M., and I.. O. L. No. 2855 and other ectioT of the n< w building, which will be of brick ccn.stmction, was given to Mr. H. A. McCauley of Flesherton, w^hich will be of brick construction. This new building will add ntaterially to the appearance of Toronto street and when completed should be a dred- it to the builders and the village. We understand the old town hall building will be purchased from Mr. McCauley when it is moved on the lots pur- chased by Mr. Jack Brackenbury last i week and will be converted into a [ duplex house. isabelle Wilson Passes Mrs. IsabeHe Wilson, wife of the I iate Andrew Wilson, formerly of Flesherton, died in Hartford, Mich.,i May 23rd, after a short illnes?, at' the age of 70 years, 5 months.

Of special interest to the many friends of the bride in Priceville and vicinity is the announci^nent of the marriage of Miss Pearl Lillian Mac- Cuaig, youngest daughter of the late Archibald and Mrs. MacCuaig of Top Cliffy, to Clarence Willard Hopkins, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Hopkins of Breckenridge, Mich.

WIDE VARIETY OF BIG AND SMALL GAME URING recent years there has been an exceptional increase in the number of people of this country who enjoy the sport of hunting and many thousands go afield yearly, with rifle or shotgun. No other section of the world can offer to the sportsman the same favourable conditions as prevail in Canada with its immense areas of virgin territory within rapid and comfortable means of access. Vast Hnatinc Areas This country possssses over 1,000,000 square miles of forest, which shelters game animals ranging from the timid rabbit to the huge and dangerous grictly bear. Mooss, caribou, elk, deer, bighorn sheep, Btouatain goat, timber wolf and bear ai« plentiful and may 'be hunted during epea seasons of- generous luxth. WiU F»wl Ab«MlMt ' The numerous lakes and ponds of northern Canad* are the breeding £ laces of the main waterfowl popo- ktion of the AmerioaB oontinent, •onsequeatly ducks, geess and other «»terfowl are plentiful, in nonnal yeais. TIm ruffled grouse or Partridge is the most important npland bird and is eommon to erery province, while woodcock, prairife chicken, Hungatian partridge and ptarmigan provide good sport. Hunting Grounds Easy of Access Accessibility is an oulstandinti feature of much of Canada's bunting territory. The country is well served by roads, railways and steamboat lines, over which the sportsman may travel in comfort, to the "going in" point. Areas previously inaccessible may also now be reached by air- plane in a few hours' flight. De- training or "going in" points are numerous throughout game areas and at the^e will be found reliable outfitters and quali£ed guides, who are prepared to look after the sports- man's every need and guidsnce while in the himting territory. In several of the provinces it is compulsorv for the hunter to be acceqtpsnied by a guide but, even in those provinces where it is not compulsory, it is often advisable to engage guides. Thess msB, being familiar with the territory in iriiich they operate, are tJt>le to . add greatly to the eojoy- meat and success of the trip. Cuw s w i j i lle w of Cam* In Csoada a practical (onn of ooDservation is found in the setting aside of toets^of Miblie lands, as game ics el v es, and fai the rifid pvoteetioB of game in its axtensive natiftnal and prorineial parks. Is these areas the gams multiplies rapidly, under protoetion, and spreads over into the surrounding country. This favourable condition, couplet! with sound . protective lesi.slation regulating the open seasons, bag i;rr.;f» )t^<;T«f of lirencea etc. assures continuance of a supply of game animals and birds in their native habitat. Canada is thus able to offer the hunter exceptional opportunities for sport in season. Hunting with Camera To the camera-huDler and the student of wild life, the Canadian Provinces offer unusual opportum- ties for interesting experiences and records. There is no closed season on^game, to the camera-hunter and, throughout the year, he will find favourable conditions to study the habits of game animals and birds and to photograph them in their natural surroundings. Ganio Laws of the Provinces The game laws of the different provinces are drafted by the I>roviaciaI Governments with a view *to meeting local conditions: conse- quently there is no uniform game law'for the Dominion as a whole. As these game laws are subject to revision from year 'to year, persons contemplating a hunting trip ar« advised to obtain copies of the current game laws and^ regulatiooa of the province in which they intend to hunt. The National Development Bureau of ths Department of the 'Interior at Ottawa will gladly supoly infor> mation on bunting in Canada, by either complying with requests, oc referrinii same to other sources from which the particulars desired may be obtained. Durham Won 10-2 Flesherton juniors received their first defeat on Tuesday night when they played Durham's juniors and .seniors, combined, in the latter's rink. The game was a hard-chevking affair bat the the more experienced players had the advantage of their own rink and with a number of players of senior rating Avere naturally better t!»an *ho locals. Durham .secured the first goal when Lauder slipped one past Ferris, but this was soon equalled when Mc- Cutcheon bulged the twine behind Mc Eachnie. Dean then put the count one up for Durham, while Anderson tied the score again with about 20 seconds to go. The second period opened with both teams trying to gain the lead and not until ten minutes of battling did Durham finally manage to send a tricky shot past Ferris. This ended the scoring for the period, but not the battling. Two o'' the players were mixed up in a i . le squabble and before the referee could interfere it was a free-for-all. The bell then rang for time, ending round two for the fighters. Durham added three more in tl'.e third period and four in the fourth, making the final score 10-2. JIany penalties weue handed out !n the third period, just a continuation of the scrap in the second. The Flesherton lads tell the tale of two Durham lads going home with a piece of fat pork covering their eye.s from The effects of the above fight. We would like to see these two teams clash again in Flesherton in the near future as the Durham boys are real good players and make an in- teresting game. Fleserton players were: Goal, E. Ferris; defence. E. Alexander and K. Betts; Centre, MqCutchecn; Home, F. Gorrel and H. Best; Rover, L. Ferris; alternates, M. Johnson, G. Boyd, L. Anderson E. Patton.

The rare humor of it and the sweet love story will appeal to all. Sam Gidding:s, a delightful character, full of the "milk of human kindness" is a mender of hearts and lives as well as of pots and pans. When he comes to the town of Hintonville, he finds it dominated by a ruthless and greedy man whose one redeeming quality is his* love for his invalid daughter, Lucy. Sam finds that there is much mending to be done here and through his faith and love he brings about a great deal of happiness. In the quaint story revealed in the play, Sam finally mends his own heart. "The Mender" â€" in three acts â€" is an intensely dramatic play, but through it all runs a thread of delicious comedy. It tells a fascinating atory; it gently tea<:hes us, without preuchrng, one of life's great^lrt truths. To be given in the Armories, Markdale, on the evening of the fourth day at 8 p. m. Shingles . .
