PRICEVILLE We are all glad to welcome the spring. At first it was thought to be a false alarm, but we are surely convinced now through the Wild geese and birds being back. The frogs are not yet thawed out. We regret very much to have to chronicle the death of Mrs. C. Milne of Elmwood, mother of Dr. and Jim Milne of town. The sympathy of the community is extended to the bereav- ed family, particularly to the Dr. and Jim, whom most of us are better ac- quainted with.

A DEPLORABLE AFFAIR ) IN MEMORIAM A number of members of the Price- ville Re-union met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Donald McDonald (nee Annie McCannel of Proton Station,), 167 Snowdea Ave., Toronto, on Tues- day, to show their appreciation in a small way of tlje kindly manner in which Ut. McDonald contributed to the success of the annual Priceville picnic held in High Park. The majority of the Priceville peo- ple are of Highland Scotch extrac- tion and nothing stirs their Scotch IJlcxod like the sweet strains of the bagpipes and the Highland dances. T5»e evening was spent in music, games and dancing, also a social «ap <af tea and a dainty luncheon provid- ed by the ladies, when Mrs. McPher- son read the following address and Mrs. Wm. Walker presented Mr- Mc- Donald with a set of white gold ini- tialled cuff links, and Mrs. McDonald with a bouquet of roses. Though taken complet^y toy surprise, Mr. McDonald made a fitting -rajly, say- ing that it was always a pleasure for him to attend the Priceville picnics and he was lookhre forwiml to the k mt- aTid Mrs. Alex. Morrison wish next one, and would be (Mighted to ^ tlank ftielr friends and neighbors On Tuesday, Provincial Constable Joseph Nelson was called to Mulmui; Township to investigate conditions in the home of William Hutchiaon, a farmer, residing in an isolated section of the country. In the ill kept farm house he found Hutchisun arid a small boy who gave his name as Albert Anderson. Hutchison is suffering from cancer of the face, and the dis- ease has eaten away nearly one side of his face. The victim stated that he had not received any treatment for six weeks, and his face was in bad shape. It is said that attempts to have Hutchison removed to an insti- tution were futile, he refusing to go and the authorities were unable to force him. Albert Anderson, who claims to be 14 years of age, is the size of a boy 5 years of age, and possessed of a similar mentality. He was wrap- ped in blankets by the constable and brought to the Children's Aid Shelter here. He will be examined and likely sent to Orillia. â€" Orangeville Sun. In loving memory of A. C.
