THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 10, 1984 • «. Legislature Session Opeos January 31st The final session of the 18th legis- lature of Ontario draws near. On January 31, Hon. Herbert A. Bruce Lieutenant-Governor of the Province will read the speech from the thront for the second time since he assumed the office. This formality over. Col Bruce will walk from the chamber oJ the historic parliament buildings at Queen's Parkâ€" and the debate will begin. Little contentious legislation is ii. sight. The special committee which is to sit on the charges made bj Magistrate McCaughrion of Orillia will provide considerable' excitement it is believed, since the Government has announced its intention of a wide- open inquiry. Magistrate McCaugh- rin charged Hon. W. H. Price, At- torney-General, with having tried tc "buy him out of office" so Magis- trate Howard Gover of Coldwatei could take the position. The budget, usually the target foi opposition attacks, may be less so this year. An estimated deficit oi nearly $3,000,000 has been turned in- to a surplus of |476,000. And the death of Hon. E. A. Dunlop, Pro yincial Treasurer, a favorite of Gov ernment and opposition alike, will also indirectly soften opposition hearts, since the coming budget was partly compiled by him. Strangely enough, the Liberal fin- ancial critic died shortly before Mr, Dunlop. Fred W. Elliott of North Bi-uee, able speaker and financial ob- server, died at his home and his loss will be sorely felt by the Liberals Three Conservative members have died since last session. They were Mr. Dunlop, Phil Henry of East Kent and Fred Skinner of Leeds. Dr. J D. Monteith, Minister of Labor is seriously ill and may not get back tt the House this session. Louis Cote another Conservative, has been elev- ated to the Senate. The present standing of the House, since the acclamation for Douglas M Campbell in EastKent,as follows :Con- servatives 86; Liberals 15; Progres- sives 5; Labor 1; United Farmers of Ontario 1; vacant 4. Vacancies ex- ist in North Bruce, North Renfrew and Leeds, and in Ivlr. Cote's riding of East Ottawa. Mr. Campbell's tenure of East Kent â€" unless he runs in another riding â€" .will be a short one. Under the Re- distribution Act of last year, the House membership is to be cut from 112 to UO and East Kent is one of the seats which will be eliminated aftei the coming session. IT CAN BE DONE Don't say it can't When it can be done. No matter how hard the work, The thing to do Is to see it through, Not idly to sit and shirk. The men that win In the race of life Are foes to fear and doubt; They toil with zeal For a high ideal. Grim failure they put to rout. Don't say it can't When it can be done. Whatever your task today, Stand up like a man, Say "I know that I can." Right effort will show the way. MARKDALE WON THE BONSPIEL THURSDAY Five rinks from the Flesherton Curling Club visited the Markdale Club on Thursday afternoon and even- ing and enjoyed friendly games with the northern neighbors. Markdale was winner of the bonspiel by three points, the score being 56 to 53. The Flesherton skips were G. B. Welton, G. Braekenbury, R. Piper, C. Mc- Tavish and H. .\. McCauley. At the close of the tournament Markdale village council proved their superior- ity over the Flesherton Council mem- btjrs by winning eight ends with the score 7-6. A light banciuet was held at the close, prepared by the Mark- dale curlers, and with an impromptu program afterwards, the afternoon and evening was voted a huge success. It is expected that the Markdale Curling Club will pay a return visit some evening this week. Sli«wer For Bride At -the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H Hill, Orange Valley, on New Year's night, Mr. and Mrs. George Hill, rec- ently married, were presented with a miscellaneous shower, when friends tc the number of si-xty invaded the home to make the presentation. Mrs. John Eagles read the address and Mrs. S. L. Hare followed with poems suitable to the occasion. Misses Loreen HoUey and Dorothy Hare unwrapped the gifts presented, and were assisted by Miss Gladys McFadden and Mrs. C Alcox. Mr. and Mrs. Hill made suit- able replies in thanking those present for the gifts. The evening was spent in games and dancing, lunch being served about midnight. Mr. and Mrs Hill will take up residence on theii farm on the .West Backline. Radio ReceptioB Better Since last week's issue the linemen of the Eugenia Hydro system have located the trouble that was causing havoc with radio reception in town for two weeks. The switch on the high tension line' leading south from Flesherton. situated in front of Mr. L Smith's residence, was found to be defective and causing an arc, which went trough the wires into the elec- tric radio setts, making reception im- possible. The linemen tested the line as far as Price-ville a> no trouble was found and on Thursday the in- terference was discovered at the south switch. Since then radio receptioi. has been pei-fect with no trouble whatever. We understand that at some future date the Hydro Commission intend moving the two switches, one on the south line and the other on the west line, and locating them at some point where they will be placed together probably near McCauley's mill. The south line would then be placed on Alice street leading to the high school and east to the Toronto highway and join the present line. Much display, little merit. Man in CoUhvater, iMich., lit a match to see if the alcohol in his radiator was all right. The doctors say that in a couple of days they will be able to explain to him that the alcohol was all right. Mangels For Poultry The chief value of roots as a poul- try feed lies in the fact that they can be stored during the winter months, and fed over the period during which fresh green feeds are not available. They should not be considered in any way as a complete substitute for fresh green feeds, chiefly because they are quite deficient in vitamin content. The anti-neuritie and anti- scoi-butic vitamins are present in only the slightest traces, while the anti- rachitic vitimin is entirely lacking In comparison, fresh clover, one ot the most commonly used green feeds contains all three in abundance. The chiof function of mangel.^ and roots in general is the supplying of succul- L'nee to the ration. Ih has been found that by using mangels and supplementing with a regular dose of Epson salts, laying birds will come through the winter in fairly gooc shape.

The late Mrs. Hargrave had been a great sufferer for almost four years from rheumatic troubles. These she bore with a fortitude and resignation that endeared her to everyone. Deceased was the second eldest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas B. Gilli- land, provincial land surveyor of Eu- genia in the early days. She was born at Eugenia about 62 years ago and received an excellent education in the little village school. She was a woman of fine Christian character and had many sterling qual ities; a devoted wife and mother and a kind neighbor. No one was ever turned away hungry from her door even the poor tramp was made wel- fome and fed. She was a staunch supporter of temperance of which she gave her money and influence, and a life long member of the Baptist church. Thirty yeai-s ago last Sept- ember she was married to her now sorrowing husband and resided on the Collingwood gravel, Artemesia. The funeral, which was largely at- tended, took place on Wednesday af- ternoon, service being held at the house conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. R. Wolsten?roft. There are left to mourn be ides her hus- J)and, one son Fred at home, one sis- ter and two brothers, Mrs. Thos. Betts of the Collingwood gravel, Thos. J. Gilliland of Eugenia and Wm. A. .Gilliland of Edmonton; one sistei passed on a number of years ago. . Among the beautiful floral tribute? that expressed sympathy and devo- tion were: A spray from the family spray from Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Betts and family, wreath from Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hargrave and family, spray from Miss V. Nicholson, Mrs. Martha Wickens and Mr. Thos. Clayton. The pallbearers were six neighbors: Messrs. Sam Phillips, W;m. J. Chard Wm. Phillips, George Johnsor., Alex. English and Jas. Russell. Her body was laid to rest in the Union C-em- etery, Maxwell, to wait the resurrec- tion. "Well done, child of my love, well done! The battle's o'er the race is won; Now, by my side, sit down." The travail of my soul all past. My Master's will attained at last, .\nd an eternal crown.

Having purchased three tickets foi 25 cents, entitling him to three chanc- es on a limousine in a church drawing, a conscientious Montreal man is now so frightfully worried that he may win that he consulted a lawyer about it. That, my dear sir," said the sur- prised lawyer, "is perfectly easy. In the unlikely event of your winning, you will simply make it known that it is against your principlts to accept it and have it sold for the benefit of a worthy cause. Thus you will have benefited two worthy 'â-  causes â€" the church, and thte other beneficiary "But â€" but you don't understand," said the agitated man. "I agreed that the cause was a worthy one, and so it is. I gave a quarter and received three tickets. But this" â€" and the man mopped his brow â€" "is where the difficulty crops up. I gave the tick- ets to a girl stenographer in an office where I was doing business. Now do you see?

Some time ago the' company put improved coaches on the run, but recently Mr. J. G. Fraser, who hae just retired as president of the Owen Sound Board of Trade, was assured by the company's officials that they intended to put in this service two of the company's most recent coaches. These are known as "bucket seaf ooache.''. and they are now in use on some of the best trains on the main line?. These new coaches have in- dividual seats and are very comfort- able. The conches are beautifully finished and will be quite an acquisi- tion to railway travel in this district. 1 "For the Childreris Sake' A NEW YEAR MESSAGE TO EVERY MOTORIST IN ONTARIO Well done, Ontario drivers! The accident record for the entire year 1^33 has not been compiled as yet, hut at the end of November- the number of fatalities from motor vehicle accidents was 87 less than the total recorded during the first eleven months of 1932. For this marked improvement the Government of Ontario offers its thanks and congratulations to the motorists of the Province. It is a definite indication that the majority of drivers of motor vehicles in Ontario are co-operating in a real endeavour to reduce the waste of human lives m\ street and highway. But there is rooin for improvement yet. The toll is still too great. In eleven months of l'^33, 368 lives were sacrificed. -And most distressing of all is the fact that children are frequently the victims. Here then is an ob- jective well worthy of any effort â€" and its cost is only a little more care as you drive. If by any fault of your flriving or from any neglect of some simple rule of safety, you were to deprive some child oi health antl ^rength, perhaps even of life itself â€" what a responsibility would be yours! tor the children's sake this appeal is made to you, and to every motorist in Ontario: that through this winter you drive carefully, cautiously, sanely and safely, lest one child's life be lost or one little form crippled or torn. The days of winter are days of difficult driving â€" of icy roads and slippery streets â€" when vehicles slide and slip over treacherous surfaces â€" and when accidents and fatalities may happen without warning, if drivers fail to realize the imperative need for added care and extra vigilance. To ensure that the gratifying improvement made during 1933 will be maintained during the dangerous days of winter as well as throughout all the coming year, your continued co-operation is required. Will you not make this resolution for 1934, if only "for the children's sake": to protect life and health by driving with courtesy and caution, by observing the simple rules of the road, and by making "safety" your motto as you drive along the streets, the highwavs, and the bv-wavs of the Province? If you will, 1934 will indeed be a HAPPY NEW YEAR. ClX^'^ Toronto, December Z^th, 19.>3 Minister of Highways \
