While th*e in- ^divjdual amounts were i^t over 4^15- the total amounts was over 1600. To date the response to .onr, appeal has been very dis- Wofating. "Wa are in need of » considerable sum during the next month and if each suh- •arii|wr in arrears would bring or nnd m half the amount on their statement their attention to the matter would be greatly appredftted and would assist us «f this time. Those in arrears but who did not receive a state- ment wiold also confer a favor if they could also attend to the matter promptly.

Unempioymeoi Found (iovernmeot Problem The "Good Companions'* Young Married Couplea" Group met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred irwin on Thursday evening, Dec. 29th, for their regular monthly meeting. The presi dent, Mr. Ken. Stewart, was in the chair and welcomed two new couples, Mr. and Mrs. Mel. Hogarth and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Eagles, into the fel- lowship of the group. After a short business period Rev. Mr. Service led the meditation period, which centred around the theme "Friendship." Miss Agnes Macphail Macplutil, M. P., was the special guest speaker and, as always, gave something very vital and immediate. The single unemploy' ed situation was presented by Miss Macphail and then the group divided into two sections to discuss the pro- blem further and to bring in suggest- ed remedies. It was interestiitg to note that while each worked inde- pendently, similar conclusions wer;; drawn which^ summarized were: Single unemployment has reached such large proportions, between 50 and 100,000, it is therefore a national problem and should be a Federal Government responsibility. It was suggested that the Government should lend aid to farmers' sons who would like to continue in agriculture by es- tablishing them on farms under long term mortgages with a low rate of interest. For young men in cities, towns and villages, who have finished high school, training schools should be established and so definitely equip them for some specific trade. Train- ing camps under Government super- vision would offer one means of em- ployment for these men who, at the present time, are fast losing heart and also their morale. In order that the rural communities might become more congenial and contented places in which to live the government might well consider, first training many of these young men in the art of "community recreation" and then appoint them to definite communities to lead the people in attractive and creative hobbies and amusements. It was also felt that the Govern- ment should bring down some legisla- tion whereby the farmers' marketing prices would be guarded and not left to the manipulation of big corpora- tions. It was thought that more public works programs might well be under- taken and so provide worthwhile em- ployment, with national' "development as a result. After a lengthy discussion lunch was served and all were unanimous that the meeting was one of the best yet held. The next meeting is going to take the form of a skating party on Wed- nesday, January 25th. For those who do not skate the social committee will provide games at tne church, where all*wll meet for a hot lunch after skating. CONN..MONAGHAN A pretty wedding took place at high noon on Saturday, Dec. 24th, at the home of Mrs. Chris Monag^han and the late Mr. Monaghan of Singhamp- ton, of their eldest daughter, Mary Mildred, to Mr, John Mansel Conn, second son of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Conn of Feversham. Rev. R. H. Pike of Shrigley performed the ceremony. The young couple stood inside a beautiful areh decorated with pink and white, twenty-five gueat-s being present. The bride, who was given away by a close friend, Mr. Roy Folliotti of Collingwood, was gownd in ruit crepe and carried a shower bouiuet of Talis- man roses and maiden hair fern. The wedding march was pUyed by Mias Helen Lougheed of Singhampton. Miss Pearl Monaghan, sister of the bride, was bridesmaid and wore a gown of wine taffeta. Mr. James C. Conn of Feversham supported the groom. The groom's gtSt to the bride was a beautiful wrist watch, to the brides- maid a gold bracelet and to the groomsman a miliary travelling set. At the signing of the register Mr. Roy Langford of MarKSale sang the "Maidstone." The bride received many beautiful gifts at both wedding and shower. After the young couple had receiv- ed congratulations and best wishes from the friends, the guests enjoyed a very dainty buffet lunch. After a social hour the happy couple left on a motor trip to Wind- sor and Detroit, acompanied by Mr. Rozzel Conn and friend, Miss Nellie Short. Best wishes go with the young couple for a long and happy wedded life. Robert Holi Passes After an illness of three years spent in bed Robert Holt died at his home at Feversham on Dec. 23rd, 1938. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Holt and was born in Burnley, Eng- land, on January 28th, 1907.' The deceased was predeceased by his father, who lost his life in France. He leaves to mourn his loss his wife, daughter Shirley, and his mother. The funeral was in charge of Rev Mr. Lancaster of St. Mary's Church, Maxwell, who preached the sermon in the Salvation Army barracks at Feversham. Interment was made in Maxwell cemetery. The flowers included a pillow from his wife and daughter, wreath from his mother, Mrs. Holt Baldwin and Mr. A. E. Baldwin, wreath from Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Poole and John, spray from Mr.«ad Mrs. Edgar Dobson, and spray from Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Bow- ers. The flower girls were: Norma Heitman, Ruth Grayins, Gladys Teeter Shirley Springgay and Tillie Poole.

SENTENCED TO 5 YEARS Jim Sled, Flesherton young man, was sentenced by Magistrate Spere- nian at Owen Sound on Wednesda.v of this week to five years in Kings- ton Penitentiary. Sled pleaded guilty to armed robbery of F. G. Kai-stedfs store at Pricepille. Italy bans Popeye in the movies and brands him a sissy. In that case it will be harder to convince small boys to eat their spinach. Grey Count) Council Following is a complete list of the members of the 1939 Grey County Council: Artemesia â€" Reeve, J. A.

When cream is brought to the cream- ery the patron receives one cent per pound more than if the can of cream was brought in on one of the collect- ing trucks. Messrs.

The new Trade .Agreement between Canada and the United States which came into operation on January 1st provides many changes in tariffs on commodities passing from one country to another. Under the new agree- ment Canada secures concessions on two hundred and two commodities, e.xports of which to the United States in 1937 amounted to $327,505,000 or approximately eighty-three per cent of the total Canadian sales of $;?94,- 240.000 in that year. Of the two hundred and two items on which con- cessions are made, one hundred and twenty-nine represent reductions in duty, forty -one the binding of the existing rate of duty, and thirty-two a continuation of present free entry. The concessions to Canada on ani- mals and animal products are quite important. The chief item is live cat- tle weifrhinjr seven hundred pounds or more. Under the 1936 agreement the duty on this class of cattle was reduced from three to two cents per pound, subject to a quota of one hundred and fifty-sbc thousand head. The new agreement provides for a rate of one and a half cents per nound and also raises the quota to two hundred and twenty-five thousand head. The new quota will permit considerably larger shipments from "Canada \Wien the price margin is favorable to export, but will not be sufficient to depress prices in the United States. ..Vnother important conces.sion is calves. In 193(5 the duty was lowered from two and a half to one and a half cents per jwund on a quota of 62,000 head. The one and a half cent rate is continued anil the quota is raised to 100,000 head, with the maximum weight limit changed from 175 to 200 pounds per head. On cows specially imported for dairying purposes the maximum concession of fifty per cent was given to Canada by the United States in the 1936 agreement (rate of one and a half cents per pound), but only 20,0(»0 head were to be allowed in at the low rate. The quota ^imitation has now been dropped and the_^ ope and a half cent per pound rate will apply to all shipments. In the new treaty the duties on live hogs and on fresh or chilletl pork have been reduced by fifty per cent, and the rate on certain cured pork (not in- cluding canned pork and sausage) lowered from three and a quarter to two cents per pound. Reciprocal concessions on pork prodttcts were gmntetl the United States by Canada. The duty on horses valued at not more than Sl.'iO ner head was reduced fi-orn $.'50 to $20 per head in 1936 »'>d hes now hoen chanyrcd to $1,^. wKMo the rate oa thos4. va1u«i at •nor-.- "â- â- â€¢â-  '^â- "0 per h«»d has b«'er rtdxici 't) to XtV^. pet c«it. Santa Claus left a pup at Christmas for one of our family. After that you couldn't think of another thing but the pup. He was the duckieat, dar- lingest, lovingest 'ittle thing. Such baby calk was enough to make a fel>- low sick. . But he really was a smart pup for his age â€" only ten weeks. The whole family had wanted a pup for long enough, but now they wonder if one pup is not too many. We're sure it is. This animated flax seed of (Dockor Spaniel breed was indeed pedigreed and guaranteed. But not post-pee'd not by a jugful. His chassis from the transmission rearward appeared to be out of alignment. When he raced across the living room floor he was all on the bias. Perhaps he was just keeping one eye peeled for speed-cops. They forgot to send his working pants. He was every inch a worker. He could start runs in leather legg- ings in spite of all a soap-flake fac- tory could do. He was a wind mill, a weather vane in April and an electric vibrator all in one. He could ,dtist the fixtures and furniture in a flour mill in five minutes. He skidded under the (Christ- mas tree and triumphantly trailed forth a silk stocking for each of the guests. Then he raced back to bring a pair of ladies' fluffy Angora gloves. But being a smart pup, as we said before, he could think of several things at once. Being a hit too op- timistic^ however, and with too great a desire to be helpful, he also took aboaitT a load of furlined slippers. So he was sort of compelled to dock by doing a somersault. He decided he, didn't like the taste of .A.ngora wool, and being, as we said before, a very smart pup, he noticed the dental floss on the end of a window curtain. He couldn't manage it without at least one foot on the curtain. So he pulled. Then he got .so tangled that (the curtain |came down like a mountain snow slide. Clutching wildly with tooth and nail he tried to climb out of the difficulty by way of the oth«r curtain. It fell and folded up on him as fast as his reputation had already done. Every- body was sympalthetic. Everybody tried to help. But you might as well try to get a flax seed out of a wild duck's bill while swimming in Flesh- er's pond as get a pup out of window- curtains. Wo had all unknowingly adopted the musical member of Mrs. CtK'ker Spaniel's family. You could tell by his repeate<l inspections of the sounding board at the back of the piano. He was 'the peanisst! We do not mean to be disrespectful to the pup. but you can see now why we can't do tnuch longer without a farm. .\t least half a farm. You might as well ask a prairie coyote to live in a bird house up a tree as a pup in a'iwo by four living room .^fifty ffeet from the ground. . j Even befoi*e this (there' had'' been a cessation of baby talk. '"Itsey bitsey" had been a horrid, na.«ty pup. But, f ven yet. if his tail had been a pendul- um on an eight-day clock, the clock would have run down in ten seconds. He could still bite both your ears, turn all your vest pockets inside eut and take off your collar and tie â€" all ;â- â€¢â-  the .same time. We're building up a sales talk in case we find a pro- spective buyer. When he ducked under the chester- field for a moment's rest the su-spense, the foreboding was something awful. The radio was switched off. Every- body held their ' breath. But not a .;ound as yet. Could you* imagine anybody more gullible than we, think- ing we could afford the luxury of a pup in a city. We offer a dog house in the base- ment, extra utensils in the bathroom, doorwa.v barricades, chewed up leather leashes, dog biscuits, bl.inkets, etc.. as deluxe equipment without extra charge.
