It*s so muck ea5iet to shop by TELEPHONE On wet days and snovfy days, on days when there is 8o much house- work to be done, on days when you aren't feeling up to scratch yourself or when one of the youngsters is ailing, it's great to be able to shop by tele- phone. And on fine days too, and when everj-thing else is going right, it saves you an endless amount of tiresome traipsing around. Make the telephone vour market basket.

Ernest Stinson, N'. Hostrawser and Robt. Purvis. They were opposed by George Cairns and I. B. Whittaker in one of the most pe- culiar elections yet held. When the results first came out Mr. Hostrawser was reported defeated with Mr. Cairns- taking his place. Later it was Mr. Purvis who had lost out by three votes, and it was not until Tuesday morning when the Returning Otficer, VV. J.

The error in reporting Mr. Cairns .-lected was throug-h an error in giving his vote at Proton Station as 82 in place of eight which he received. The ratepayers of the township decided to do away with statute labor as a meth- od of road mai.itenance and again take on the government assisted system. This was carried by a vote of 406 to 310. In hi.« own poll Mr. Stinson re- ceived 83 votes out of a possible *i5 and Mr. Pui-vis received 115 at Eu- eenia, a most satisfactory result for them and shows how they stand in their own sections.

McCauley Warden Candidate The selection of a warden for Grey j County is still a month away, but al- ready several candidates have their hats in the field and are campaigning among the members of the County Council. Reeve Howard McCauTey of Fiesherton is in the running as is Reeve Austin Ball of Hanover, and Reeve David .A.llan of Shallow Lake. The urban centres are entitled to have their representative sit in the War- den's chair in 1938. and the choice will likely fall to one of these three. Reeve McCauley has been in the Coun- ty Council for the past six years and has given exceptionally good service on the committees with which he has served. He has a splendid knowledge of the needs of the County and to us would give a good account of himself if elected warden. Reeve Ball has had four years experience at Cnunty Coun- cil and if elected would be Warden ex- actly fifty years after his father, the late R. J. Ball, Federal member for South Grey for several years. The contest, no doubt, will be clo.«e but we would recommend that Reeve McCaul- ey be elected, as it has been quite a number of years since Fiesherton has been honored with a Warden. L>eath came suddenly on Wednes- iay mornmg of last week to Mr. Henry Ward Walton at his home in .\rtemesia township. While he had not been enjoying goo<i health for some time, he was stricken with a heart attack. The late Mr. Walton was born in Michigan TO years ago and had re- sided in the Township of Artemesia for the past 53 years, except for 11 years spent in the West and Xorthem Ontario. He is survived by two sis- ters and two brothers. Miss Lucy Walton and Mrs. Robert Wrigh: (Annie), who resided with him. Fred F. Walton of Sault Ste. Marie. Ont.. who was present at the funeral, and Hugh A. Walto'i of Port Hammond. I British Columbia. The funei-al was held on Friday. ] Dee. 3rd. and was largely attended by i friends and neighbors. Interment was I made in Markdale Cemetery. Ser- I vices at the house and grave were con- I ducted by Rev. McAuslan. Kimberley. The pallbearers were near neigh- jbors: Messrs. Rutledge Staiford, Ben Carruthers Dave Genoe, Albert Ellis. Fred Wickens and Wm. Haines. Friends from a distance were: Mr. 'and Mrs. Geo. Smith and Mrs. John j Richardson of Barrie, Mr. and Mrs. |W. H. Wright. Mrs. J. Galbraith and I Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Smith. Clarksburg. Lois Wood HcTie Miss LoiK Wood, daughter of Mis. C. R.

A Toronto Hotel A meeting ol the Toronto Branch of the Fiesherton Old Boys' and Girls' Association was held at the otfice of Mr. Burton E. Field, secretary of the organization on Friday evening last, and it was dv.cided to hold a banquet at the Victoria Hotel, Toronto, on Friday. Jan. 14th, I'JiJa. Ail members in good standing as of Jan. 7, 1937, will receive a complimentary ticket, and will be charged $1.00 for addition- al members of his family or friends whom he brings with him. We are having a turkey dijiner, which costs JI.OO per plate, so that we stand to lose on this venture, but hope to re- vive considerable interest and secure a number of new members. Each non -member who attends will pay $1 per person, but will automatically be- come a member of the Association as a result, and it is hoped to make him or her a permanent member this way. Mr. Field sUtes that aiTangementa have been made with the C.P.R. to show four films entitled "Canadian Mountain Majesty," '• Happy Hunting Grounds.'' "Voyageur Trails," (Fish- ing on the French River) and "Ski Tima in the Rockies." after which a half hour will be devoted to a discus- sion of Association affairs, and furth- er time alloted to a general get- together of the members. Some fur- ther details have to be worked out yet. but further word of these â- will be given later. Mr. Field informs us that many of the Fiesherton residents in Toronto have changed their addresses and not notified him. hence they are unable to receive invitations to the social gath- erings and the activities of the Assoc- iation. He would be pleased to have changes of addresses sent to him. Twins Joined Church Centre Grey League .\ meeting of the Centre Grey I Hockey League was neld in Markdale Monday evening.
