THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 1934 » ♦ • ♦ Big Trout Caoght Ai Hydro Lake The trout fishing season opened â- with a real boom early Tuesday morn- ing with some fine speckled beauties being captured. J. O. Dargavel takes local honors with a fine fish weighing two pour.ds and fourteen ounces, taken from the water at the Eighth Line bridge. This fellow swallowed hook and line, but did not take it with a rush and grab as most of the big ones do. Jiw found out that he had him on the Iir.€ when he was reeling it in and the battle com- menced, and took the honors in this fight when he landed him on the stones on the east side of the bridge. This monster measured 17*4 inches in length and measured five inches in depth. He also secured another fine one, though somewhat smaller, that measured 15% inches long and weigh ed 1^* pounds, a third one which he caught weighed "i of a pound. Two of the above fish are being entered in the fish competition sponsored by Frank Slater of Owen Sound, for the best fish taken from the waters in Grey and Bruce Counties. First prize is a beautiful split bamboo fish- ing rod. C. J. Bellamy of town won first prize last year and Mr. Dar- gavel has an excellent chance of tak- ing the honors this year. He took it to Owen Sound a few hours after it was caught. Chas. Mo^'.oT also took one out of the same hole measuring 12 inches. Master Evison Wilson, 9 years of age, landefl a nice trout from one of the local streams that measured 12% inches in length. He was a proud lad with his catch. Harold Best caught two fine ones Tuesday evening, one of them 16 inches long and weighed 1% pounds; the other one was 13% inches va length and one pound two ounces in weight.

Thompson Thursday The funeral of the late Mrs. Jacob Thompson, who died on April 24th wai held on Thursday last. Servict was held in her late home on the East Backline, Artemesia, and was con- ducted by Rev. W. J. Scott, pastor ot St. John's United church. Interment took place in the family plot in the Meaford Road Cemetery. The pallbearers were Messrs. Geo Clark, Wm. Newell, S. Fitzsimmons Wm. Grieves, J. Thistlethwaite and Wilfred Graham. A large number of floral tributes of sympathy covered the casket, a- mong them being sprays from hei family and grandchildren and from Mrs. Wickens and Mr. T. Clayton Mrs. K. fatten, Miss M. McMillan and Mrs. John Mdilillan and Mr. Howard Eubank. Those from a distance who attend- ed the funeral were Mrs. Dick Cross- ley of Owen Sound, Mrs. John Cross- ley of Weston, Mrs. John Hopps and Mrs. Fred Stafford of Williamsford and Mrs. Ed. Stafford of Holland Centre. The late Mrs. Thompson, who was in her 74th year, was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Irwin, pioneers of Artemesia, and was born on the homestead one mile south of FTieshierton. She was married to Jacob Thompson on December 23rd, 1880, who predeceased her eleven years ago last February. She was the youngest and last surviving mem- ber of a family of nine. She leaves to mourn the loss of a loving mother two sons and two daughters: Robert on the home farm, Mrs. A .B. Ferris (Effie) of Flesherton, Charles ot Orangeville and Mrs. Wm. Holley (Martha) of Holland Centre; one daughter died in infancy. The late Mrs. Thompson was of a very pleasant nature and highly re- spected by all who knew her. She has been residing with her daughter in Flesherton and three weeks ago left to visit her son on the East Backline. She had been troubled with high blood pressure but other- wise was enjoying good health. On Tuesday afternoon ske took an attack of weakness and passed away a fe-w moments afterward, death coming as a great shock to her family and many friends. Pageant Well Given Some 38 ladies of St. Colulba Unit- ed Church, Priceville, gave their "Pageant of Famous Women." in St. John's United Church on Thurs- day evening la.st. The church auditorium was well filled with an appreciative audience that all ap- plauded most of the characters de- picted. To pick ny one persor. as of special notation would d-Jtract from the others in the pageant, when the entire company filled their char- acters perfectly. Mrs. H. McLean rcr.dered a couple of solos and Mrs. Jos. McKee sang a Gaelic number, but it was all Scotch to us, though the melody was intriguing. Our Priceville correspondent h-\z s^iven a couple of descriptions of the pai^eant in past issues, which was given twice at Priceville. The Flesherton ap- pearance was thajr third and it was given as a friendly gesture to friend ly neighbors for the benefit of the Women's Missionary Society of the United Church. We were very pleased to see the program so well given. A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL .ASSOCIATION ANO LiFEl INSURANCE COMPANiea IN CANADA j Where Cash • Talks Out Loud GOOD CO.MPLEXIONS Child Fell Into Cellar Shirley, the three-year-old daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. L. McCracken of town, had a narrow escape or Sunday from a serious accident if not death, when she fell into the cellar of her home, a distance of nine feet and was rendered unconscious by the fall. She was taken for an x-ray examination on Monday morning, but was found to be suffering only from bruises and twisted ligaments in her 'vj She had just entered the room and was taking off her coat while walk- ing over to hang it up above a trap door leading to the cellar, which her father was just opening when he had occasion to go to the cellar. Out ot tho corner of his eye he saw what he thoght was a coat drop into the cellar between the steps and the wall and en descending found the little one in a heap and unconscious. She was considerably bruised on the hip and one leg and was unable to walk. New Bank Manager A change in managers of the Flesh- erton branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce has been announced by the head office of the bank. Mr. A. E. Preston, manager in Flesherton for the past few years, is being re- tired on pension and will take up his residence in Hamilton. His successor will be Mr. R. B. Heard, who Is at present manager of the Pag'e and Queenston branch of the bank in St. Catharines. Mr. Heard is a Proton Township boy, having been bom neat Salem. Mr. Preston has had a long and honorable career in banking circles. He commenced with the old Standard Bank in March 1899 and continued with the Canadian Bank of Commerce when it took over the Standard. He served overseas with the 20th Battal- ion in the great war, the effects of which is telling on his health at the present time. Mr. and Mrs. Preston have made many warm friends in Flesherton who wish them happiness in their new home and a retu-m to health for the former. Crop Improvement Evident Evidence of crop improvement that has resulted from the production and general use of registered and certi- fied seed of wheat over a period of thirty years in Canada may be ob- served in the relatively high yield per acre of the crop as a whole and in the sustained high quality for mill- ing purposes, as reflected m the premiums generally received for Can- adian wheat ia the principal export markets. Wth other cereal grains, the results are very much in evidence in those areas where oats, barley or other kinds of grain predominate. In those areas in which coarse grains form the main cash crop, the ci-op as a whole is traceable as a rule within a. few years tc> pure variety seed stock. It is from those areas that thie best and most uniform quality grain for commerce is derived. THE ONLY W.AY (Ottawa Journal) If we want to get back to the simple living of our fathers, or to any- thing like it, we've first got to alter • lot of our notions and get rid of a lot of our debts. The idea of looking to the state for this, that any every- thing, of wanting it to guide us from the cradle to the grave, permitting i»s to "keep up with the Jones's on the journey, has got to be revised. Heavy interest ch(arj!}es and social services and a complicated economic organism don't mix well with simplt Hvirt'. â€"HAVE YOU RENEWED? Current Crop Report Latest reports from agricultural representatives declare that while little growth of fall wheat has taken place as yet, there is every indication in many districts that the loss from winter killing will be heavy. Ontario and Peterborough Counties definitely report at least 75' ' of the crop al- most completely killed. Alfalfa and clovers have also suffered severely in many areas. The loss of fruit trees is likewise serious, one orchardist in Ontario County reporting a loss of over three hundred black cherry trees while widespread damage to apple orchards is admitted It is still too early to secure definite estimates of the injury. No Sand In Samdpaper Familiar as sandpaper is to every- body yet there are very few persons indeed, who know that this universally used product has no sand in it. Sand cannot be used for makiing sandpaper because it is not efficient for that pur- pose, due to the fact that most sand is waterworn and the particles are therefore more or less round and have no sharp cutting edge. The fine al>- rasive particles on sandpaper are specially crushed flint or garnet oi are products of the electric furnace aluminum oxide or silicon carbide. The abrasive particles i;;ed in the manufacture of sandpaper, with a few exceptions, are not true crystals, nor are they alike. The particles, though carefully graded, vary in size and shape and have many edges and points, some of which are much sharper than others. Best results are obtained from grits approximately twice as long as they are wide. If Canada is to have a dictatoi the people should insist that he be a married mar.^ â€" Meaford Mirror.

Dancing Commences at 9 p-m. Sharp To say that beauty is only skin deep is not true, because beauty comes from within and the skin cannot be healthier than the body it covers. The healthy skin is a beautiful skin. The fair, clear complexion which everyone admires and which many try to imitate, reflects a healthy body. Faulty habits of living lead to the loss of health which the skin reveals in pallor, flabbiness, blotches, pimples or other such blemishes. The skin is made up of two layers; the outer, a covering or protection, and the inner, or true skin, contain- rn-g the glands, blood s'essels and nerves. The healthy skin is slightly moist, soft and pliable. .^ ' -v or oily skin is an indication li... . the glands are not functioning properly. There are two sets of glands in the skin, one for perspiration and the other for oil- If these glands are overactive, the skin is moist and oily; if they are inactive, the skin is too dry. There is only one proper way to treat an abnormal skin condition, and that is by corerction the underlying cause. Local applications will not make a healthy skin for the person who fails to secure sufficient rest or to eat a proper diet. -All parts of the body are nourished by the blood stream. There is no food for the skin, either external or internal, any more than there is food for the brain. Eat a proper diet, and the skin, along with all the parts of the body, will receive all the food it requires. The skin must be kept clean. There is a quaint idea that soap and water are not good for the complexion, and that grease, in the comparatively ex- pensive form of a facial cream, should be used. The fact that men, as a group, have better complexions than women would seem sufficient evidence to indicate that the daily lathering ot the face with soap and water is rather to be recommended than avoided. Regular bathing is enjoyed by most people. It is desirable because it overcomes body odors, gives a sense of well-being and keeps the skin clean. The daily bath is no essesntial to health; it is rather a desirable privilege. We would advise these who have good complexions to remember that continued attention to the general health will preserve their healthy skins. Those who have not good complexions are reminded that the skin cannot l>e healthier than the body within, and. in this connection, they should thfnk of their habits of living. 2 t FANCY NAMES AND FANCY BAGS WON'T MAKE CHICKS GROW STAMINAX has the projjer balanced ration and the price is just what it is worth.
