Sheltered by the Rock of Ages, Anchored on that golden shoce, In the loving arms of Jesus Rest, our mother, evermore.

PHONE 47w Fierce Electric Storm One of the worst electric storms this year struck this district Thurs- day afternoon of last week but there was not a great amount of damage done. The Cedarville United Church fff&s struck twice while the Centre Grey District Women's Institute was in session. One lady was so badly shocked that she was rendered un- conscious. Considerable damage was done to the building which will be re- paired at once. One bolt of lightning struck some of the telephone and electric wires, |)utting telephones out of use and burning the fuses on transformers. Several street light bulbs exploded and the shaded globes broken. Sev- eral trees were struck by the light- ning and an exciting time was spent by the populace for a while. The electric storm was accompanied by a deluge of rain, causing the with- di-awal of the garden party to have been' held that evening by St. John's United Church. Weekly Press Met AtDundalk Friday Miss Agnes Macphail M.P. for Grey-Brucrf was the guest speaker at the annual convention of the Perth, Wellington and Dufferin District Press Association meeting at Dundalk on Friday afternoon. She gave a splendid non-political address to the newspapermen and informed the gathering she had great faith in the weekly press and what it can ac- complish. She compared our own country with Denmark and Sweden in negai"d to living conditions. Those countries appeared to be prosperous, one reason being that there are no partly demolished buildings on the farms as is so common here. The use of more pami m brighteiiing up home conditions was aiso urged. She iplso gave other ways in whic^ the weekly press could be used for com- munity aid and leadership. Mr. Geo. W. James, president of t!-^ C.W.N.A. and editor of the Bow- manviilo Statesman was aiso present and presented A. W. 'Wright, veteran editor of the M<iunt Forest Confeder- ate and secretary of the District As- sociation, with an autographed leath- er brief case on behalf of the As- sociation. Mr. C. V. Charters, man- aging director of the C.W.N.A., also gave a short address at the luncheon and assisted in the discussion at the business session. Splendid addresses were given by various editors, rela- tive to the successful conducting of their newspapers. The ladies enjoyed a trip to Eu- genia while their men folk were in conclave at the bowling club house. The newly elected officers of the Association are: President. Frank Mclntyre, Dundalk; Vice-president, Albert Reis, Milverton; Secretary- Treasurer, A. [W. Wright, Mount Forest. We wish to express to Editor Mc- lntyre and Mrs. Mclntyre our thanks for the splendid lunch provided at noon and for the reception accorded ns visiting newspapermen. An inquiry into the subject of whether men like women to color their finger-nails has" developed very little beyond the fact that many wom- i€n will continue to tint their nails anyway. * ******9tii4* * ***w***^********** * »*** * 9** *fn t *f Fmenl ChaiMi DIGNIFIED and SYMPATHETIC PERSONAL SERVICE Whethei YOr PAY LESS THAN SIOO.O* For Complete Fnmr »1 ] or More NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR THE USE OF OUR CHAPEL BATES & MADDOCKS 12 4 Avenue Road.

McCauley and Mrs. McCauley entertained the Grey Coun- ty Council members, officials and other guests, among whom was Warden Henry Lantz of Bruce. Following the toast to the King, Mayor Allan Stewart of Owen Sound proposed a toast to Canada and the Empire and stated that we should guard our proposed legislation so that there is no infringement on the rights of freedom which is the due of every citizen of the British Empire. Judge Morley responded to this toast and remarkel that Canada, while not bound to assist Britain in any way, will come to her aid in time of need. Rearmament is necessary for defence, otherwise an aggressor country could come here and occupy the country as they did in Austria. He also .stated that with various isms creeping into governments that we are going back to the day of pagan Ikings when ransom was demanded for the release of cei-tain political prisoner^ He ' finished with the thought that if • We adopted Fascism in this country we would be setting back our clocks 150 years. A toast to Grey County was pro- posed by Wm. McGregor, Reeve of Sydenham and responded to by ex- \Vai'dens W. L. Taylor of Osprey, John Dolphin of Derby and Dan Mc- Tavish of Flesherton. Agriculture was proposed by Mr. Batterson, ^Reeve of Elgremont, to which response was made by F. R. Oliver, M.P.P., in a splendid address. He stated that agriculture must pro- duce produce and only through that way could the war debt be wiped out. Raise the purchasing power of the farmer and it would reflect on pros- perity throughout the Dominion. He pointed out that the farming people do not tolerate any isms as they have plenty of work to do and that we should cast them aside, and in con- clusion stated that the tenets of de- mocracy are being shaken by the inroads of fascism and communism, but that the farm people held true to the tradflion of British ideals. Reeve Rusk of Markdald proposed a toast to the gueets, response being made by Warden Henry Lantz of Bruce and Reeve of Carrick, John Pedlar, Alf. Down, representing the Flesherton council and Rev. G. E. Service. The toast to the Press was pro- posed by Reeve John Davis of Arte- niesia and response was made by George Dulmage of the Owen Sound Sun-Times, Fi"ank Irwin of the Dur- ham Chronicle and Frank Mclntyre of the Dundalk Herald. Reeve Emerson Brown of CoUing- wood had the pleasure of proposing the toast to the ladies and this was ably responded to by Mrs. Austin Ball, wife of the Reeve of Hanover. The last toast of the evening was a toast to the Warden, which he accom- plished in his usual flattering style, to which jVVarden McCauley replied, giving his opinion how County Coun- cils of Ontario can work together so that taxation can be reduced. He stated that we have been going to the governments for grants and bonuses and that this idea is wron;', as each municipality should stand on its own feet and conduct their business in their own way. It was this that has brought the idea of the County Council Association of Ontario into being. I Mr. J. C. Mercer, treasurer of the j County of Gi"ey, was toastmaster. A dance followed the banquet to the music of the Blue Bird Orchestra of Walkerton, and was attended by great numbers of local residents and other visitors. Thos. Henry Dies] After Long Illness After a lingering illness of two years Mr. Thomas P. Henry, well known Artemesia resident, passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. A. E. Hopkins, at Meaford on JVednesday evening of last week. He had been suffering from an in- curable disease for some time and had resided with his daughter for the past year. He was tenderly cared for by Mi-s. Hopkins and displayed a wonderful fortitude and strength of character in the face of discourage- ment. The late Mr. Henry was bom in Philadelphia some seventy-eight years ago and as a young man came to Aytemesia township and took up farming until his health collapsed and he was obliged to give up his work. Some forty-seven years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Winters, daughter of Mr. and ,Mrs. John Winters of Maxwell, who predeceased him by some forty- thi-ee years. He is survived by one daughter and one son, Laura (Mrs. A. E. Hopkins) of Meaford and T. ^. Heni-y of Chesley. He also leaves one sister, Miss Anne J. Wright, now residing in Chesley. Deceased was very active in local Wffajirs. He was a Past Master of Prince Arthur Lodge No. 333, A.F. and A.M., of which he served for three years as Master. His work in the Lodge room and his conduct as a Mason remains as a shining ex- ampje to the younger members in the Order. He was never so happy as when he was attending Lodge and mingling with the members in friend- ly fraternization. He served on the Flesherton High School Board for many years with distinction and was well posted on educational matters. His keen mind on intei-preting events of the day and a fund of ready wit and humor made him a pleasant companion at all times. These at- ti-ibutes were very noticeable when confined to his bed as. suffering in- tensely and nerves sorely tried, he was always appreciative of every- thing done for him. It was an in- spiration to be calling on him and see the way he met his sufferings. While Tom Henrj' is gtine from among us his memory will ever be green among those who knew him so well. The funeral was held on Saturday afternoon. A short service was held at the home of his daughter in Mea- ford and at 3.30 a public service was held in St. John's United Church, Flesherton, which was filled . with soiTowing friends. Rev. Frank .\. Creighton of Meaford delivered a very comforting address from the text "Mark the perfect man and be- hold the upright: for the end of that man is peace," Psalm 37:37. Rev. G. R. Service, pastor of St. John's Church, assisted in the service. Fol- lowing the religious service at the cemetery the commitment service of the Masonic Fraternity was read. I There was a large attendance of the brethren who mot to give their last I farewell to one who was so disting- uished among them. The pallbearers were members of the Craft: Messrs. Thos. Fisher. D. JVIcTavish. P. Muir. R. Piper. C. N. Richai-dson and ^'. G. Watson. Beautiful floral offerings surrounded the casket, testifying in a small de- gree the sympathy for the family and high regard for the departed Interment was made in the family plot in Flesherton Cemetery.
