®J)je /kslj^tliJtt %hmnct. VOL. 56; NO. 52 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 1937 VV. H. THURSTON & SON. Proprietors Police Court News Laurie Thompson of Artemesia was fined $10 and costs or 10 days in jail, on Friday of last week by Magistrate Spereman of Owen Sound, on a charge of assault against George Loucka of Artemesia, to which he pleaded not guilty. The evidence against him was so convincing that the result of the tussle was quitg evident before thq case was finished. Another charge of damage to pro- perty was laid against Thompson by Loucks but, upon hearing, was dis- missed by Magistrate Spereman with- out any fine being administered. The Magistrate, on finding that this was the second time these two had been in court with similar charges against Thompson, imposed upon them a declaration, which both had to sign, that no more trouble should be caused within the next two years un- der a penalty of fiOO fine or 100 days hi jail. Mr. Charles Stafford of Artemesia came before Magistrate Spereman on Friday of last we«k and pleaded not guilty on a charge laid by constable Ck)oke of Flesherton, of cruelty to animals and, upon being found guilty, was fined flO and costs or 10 days in jail. The horse, upon which the (Aarge was laid, had been found in a pasture field in a prone position and in such a starved condition that it was unable to get on its feet. Orders were given for the horse to be dis- troyed and the other horses on the property, also found in a very poor state of health and strength, must be in a better condition in very short order. They Bring Results The value of the use of our "Small Advt." column was shown recently when iMr. Howard Graham of Vande- leur offered some young Scotch Shorthorn bulls for sale. In three weeks he had sold the fine animals at good prices and is a firm believer in the value of the weekly newspaper. If you have stock or some article you do not need, use a "Small Advt."; there may be some person who is waiting for the announcement. Mr. Jas. Hopps of Priceville advertised some young pigs in last week's issue, but we had sold these for him the day of publication. You, too, will be satis- fied by using a "Small Advt.'' BOWLING CLUB OPENING The Flesherton Bowling Club are staging a formal opening on Friday, June 4th, at 7.15 o'clock, and a good turnout is requested. There will be no extra fee, although good prizes will be provided, in addition to an op. portunity for all to pay their member- ship fees. An Edmonton man has been charg- ed with blowing his auto horn for more than thirty seconds at full vol- ume. His lady friend should have been ready when he arrived in front of the house. A clock that looks like a scale for weighing the baby is the subject. of much comment in a Sault Ste. Marie home. The dial is twice as large as those of ordinary timepieces and has about five rows of fine figures on it The one hand clearly indicates the hour, minutes and seconds, and when the hand rests at points between the hour, the figures tell the exact time. Maurice Wright Tells About Southern Home Mr. Maurice Wright, son of Mrs. John Wright of town, has been with the Tropical Oil Co. at Barrancaber- meja, Colombia, South America, for the past seven months and writes some entertaining letters to his moth- er. The last letter was mailed by him on May 16th and arrived in Flesh- erton on May 28th, coming by air mail. From the letters we take a few paragraphs for the interest of our readers. We swim in a river here, the water of which is not contaminated. The water we drink comes from a river but, of course is well treated and tastes very good. We are advised to drink plenty of it and it sure agrees with me. It rained four inches in one hour the other night, so you see We get plenty of rain. IThe weather here is not as hot aa I expected. It is like summer-time at home and usually rains at night, but whether it rains or not the nights are nice and cool. There are no street cars in the city here, but plenty of buses and taxis. You could hard- ly call the sides of the roadway side- walks, but nearly everyone walks on the road and it is a wonder how they escape being struck. I have been out on the roads near camp looking after equipment and it is a wonder to me how the natives live. They have small huts made of upright poles with thatched roofs and use the water out of ditches and dirty streams for drinking purposes. It is hard to understand why they are not diseased, but they appear very healthy. A white person could not live like that. You see bananas, cocoanuts and all the tropical vegetation growing very dense. The jungle sure is jungle and one cannot walk through it on ac- count of the thick growth, but in the higher altitudes the growth is more open. I was up to the foot of one of the mountains the other day and there was quite a difference in the climate in that short trip. Saw some "religious" cows with the humps on their shoulders. Everyone ha.s a large electric fan in his room and the evenings are quite comfortable. I like the work here fine, but the hardest part is learing the language, which is all Spanish to me yet. On our trip of three and a half days Up the Magdelena River coming in we enjoyed viewing the native vill- ages and different types of birds, in- cluding parrots, and saw many monkeys. Will He Be Candidate? Rumors are running fast on pos- sible candidates of the Liberal-Con- servative party for the forthcoming Ontario election. The latest de- velopment is the introduction of Mr. A. E. Colgan editor of the Markdale Standard, who has been a consistent and active supporter of the party practically all his life. He has serv- ed as reeve of Dundalk and Markdale at various times and made an excel- lent impression in County Council. He should be well qualified to represent the people of South Grey, as he has been an active supporter of the cause of temperance and no doubt would attract many new voters to the Con- servative cause. We know he is not seeking the nomination, but think it over seriously Ed. Mrs. John Poole Died On Monday iMrs. John Poole passed away at her home on the 10th line on Monday morning. May 31st, after some months of simply wearing out. She was a consistent member of the Salvation army of the Feversham Corps.

To the Teachers of South Grey, Ladies and Gentlemen: For some weeks I have been trying to arrange for a Children's Excursion to Toronto on the morning of Monday, August 30th next, and it gives me pleasure to say that the matter is suf- ficiently advanced to enable me to send < ut this circular. This year the excursion will be for children from the 84 rural schools only, hence the pupils from the towns and incorporated villages (Hanover, P'aced all riding patronage m Oliver s ! in cabins belonging to Mr. A.

Mr. William Nichol took us in his new truck, his handling of which and his special care, are worthy of mention. We journeyed north via Stayner, Barrie, Orillia, Gravenhurst, Brace- bridge and Sundridge to Callander, returning by Parry Sound, Bala and the .Muskoka lakes.

Children may go either by train or by car. and the assembling point will be at the front of the Union Station, on Front Street, Tloronto, at noon precisely. Standard time, on Monday, August 30th. From >here the party will visit the rotunda of the Royal York Hotel, thence by the elevators to the observation tower of the Bank of Commerce, the highest building in the British Empire, from which the children will be able to see the City, Lake Ontario, and the shore of the United States across the Lake. From the Bank the party will proceed to the Metropolitan Church, where the carilloneur will play a number of hymns for the children on the fam- ous chimes. .\lso, in the church there will be a brief organ recital from the large pipe organ, and Rev. Dr. Dick- .â- ion, pastor of the Church, will make a â- :hort address. From the Church the party will pro- ceed by bus to the Zoological Gardens, where lions, tigers, bears, snakes, monkeys, and dozens of other forms of wild life will be on exhibition. hands, rather than in Dr. McArthur's. It is thought that the only reason Mr. Oliver does not come out as a straight Liberal or as a U.F.O. -Liberal, is for fear of offending the Conservative U. F. 0. strength in the eastern part of the riding. As a protege of Miss Macphail^ who undoubtedly- played a major part in his first election as a U.F.O. member, but who maintains political independence. Mr. Oliver might alienate the support of the woman member if he swung over to the Liberals. It would, of course, be rather unique in the annals of local history were Mr. Ball to become an M.L.A.. since his father also wa.s a member stone. who.s« home town is Walkerton. Every convenience was offered us anj he left it to us as to what we paid. The trip, besides being very enjoyable, was very instructive as well. We gained a first-hand knowledge of the noi-thland's great stretches of forest, its rockiness and its many lakes and rivers. We were rather disappointed that we arrived a little while too lata to see the famous Dionne Quintuplets, but we had to console ourselves with hearing them at play and with seeing: the hospital and Dr. Dafoe's home. Other interesting sights were Cham- plain's monument at Orillia. the falls ! at Bracebridge, Lake Xipissing, Parry- Sound harbour and lookout station. though at Ottawa.

Mr. Ball said it was news to him that his name was being mentioned as a probable candidate for the Ontario legislature, and he could not say at the moment what his attitu<ie would be if the ban- fast motor boats at Gravenhurst. Tlu'se are but a few of the special sights of the trip. We recommend this route to anyone who would like :i delightful outing. â€" (Cont.) FLESHERTON PUBLIC SCHOOL Bernice Leavell (H), Jim (H).

CONTROL THE i TENT CATERPILLAR Now is the time to control tent cat- erpillars. The whitish webs con- structed by the insects are only too commonly seen on neglected fruit tres, and on roadside trees, espet'ially wild cherries. The caterpillars may be readily killed by spraying infested trees with lead arsenate 2 lbs. in 40 gallons, or by destroying the tents by hand when the caterpillars are inside them, which is usually on cloudy d.iys and early in the morning. Burning the nests with a torch is effective, but it may injure the trees. the last meeting, which were read and signed, Mrs, Cargoe announced that the ai'ticles for the bale were on exhibi- tion in the Primary room and were to be packed at the close of the meeting. The Supply Secretary of Grey Pres- b.vterial had allocated the following to our auxiliary, namely: 2 vests, 2 pair warm bloomers, 2 night gowns or pyjamas, 2 slips, 2 warm dresses, cloth shirt and pullover, warm stock- ings, summer dresses, cap, mitts, scarf, all for a girl of 10 years. Be- sides the above four good warm quilts were sent, woolies for a babe, some warm dresses and many other articles. The roll was called, collection re- ceived and iMrs. W. Thurston dismis- sed the meeting with prayer. For the summer the meeting will be held the day before the 3rd Thurs- day in each month. Sate« St 0iahhotksi 9nvM Co. â- tnUAL oo. Mehard Maddocks.
