Mrs. Harry Norton Close Call From Fire in Memoriam HAZARD In loving memory of Shirley, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. Hazard, who passed away July 8th, 1940. Two years have passed since that sad day When God called the one we loved away; He knew that she was suffering, That the hills were hard to climb, So he closed her weary eyelids And whispered "Peace be thine." Away in the beautiful hills of God, By the valley of rest so fair, Some time, some day, we know not when We will meet our loved one there. Sad-ly missed by Parents, Broth- ers and Sisters.

The honors were, as usual won by the urban schools, of those who remained at school until the end of an expert baseball player and was a member of the Ceylon club and was also with Flesherton for a time. As a young man he worked in a bank and 24 years ago opened the grain and seed business at Ceylon. Thirteen years ago he was united in marriage to Betty Kirk of Berkeley, who with one son, Kenneth, age 13, survive. Also surviving are his par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Muir and one brother, Elmer. The funeral was held Friday from schools in each township will be hand- led by two School Boards in place of a separate Board of Trustees for each school about ten men doing the work of forty under the new re- gime. Under the Township Area plan there will be no difference in the op- eration of the present schools other than that the administration of such schools will be handled by tw of Trustees selected for the work. The new set-up is looked upon as a forward step in education administ- ration in Grey County. New Village Clerk Mr. '-'ha.-. J.

Card of Thanks Mr. Delbert Wickens wishes to express his gratitude to his many friends who visited him while in the Owen Sound hospital, for treats and letters, all making his hours in the hospital more enjoyable. Card of Thanks Mrs. A. C. Muir and Kenneth and Mr. and Mrs. Dan Muir, Ceylon, gratefully acknowledge the kindness and syinvpathy extended by friends during their recent bereavement. The Canadian soldier is ready to defend himself against attack by ga.. He won't be caught napping. NERALS fanner will receive 42 cents per pound butter fat. This is a great concession to the dairy farmer, as it brings the price of his cream up to an even point with the farmer who supplies his milk to a cheese factory or to a milk distributor. With the increase in price of cream, the price of cows will no douibt also take a jumip upward, much to the delight of the farmers in general. Prices of produce have been altogether too low during the past few months and the bonus will aid in counteracting the loss from a higher cost of living.

Fisher on the southern side of the village early Sunday morning. The Are alarm was sounded at 1.10 a.m. and by the time the fire brigade ar- rived a few moments later the barn was a mass of flames. A small log building close to the barn was also consumed. In the barn at the time of the fire were a number of hens and these were lost. How the fire started is a mystery, as Mrs. Fisher stated that she had not been in the barn all evening and she had no idea of the cause. Apparently the fire had been smoldering for some time and at - .yoraible moment broke into a flame. The barn was empty Kilsyth; Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Kirk, at the time and the blaze was quick- Chatsworth; Mr. Will Kirk, Berkeley, ly fanned into a blazing inferno.* It The sympathy of the community was only thirty minutes from the goes out to Mrs. Muir and Kenneth, time the fire was observed until the also Mr. Muir's parents, in their fram building collapsed.
