THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WERNESDAY, APRIL 26. 1933 Maxwell L. 0. B. A. Celebrate Birthday Maple Leaf L.O.B.A. No. 536, Max- well, celebrated the 10th anniversary of their Lodge on the evening of April 13th, when they entertained their families along with the L.O.L. members and families. The early part of the evening was given over to a program of music, duets, readings, whistling quartette and a dialogue entitle'd, •'The Roaring Lions Club," v.-hich was very much enjoyed by all present, after which lunch waj served, one feature of which was a three-story " birthday cake. The oldest member in the Lodge, sister Elizabeth Seeley, was called forward to light the ten candles on the cake, which was cut by the first Worthy Mistress, sister Lillie Kerton and sister, Olive Seeley, the present Worthy Mistress, entinguish- ed the candles. Dancing was indulg- ed in until the wee small hours, bringing a delightful evening to a close. 15th Anniversary Rev. W. J. Scott, pastor of St. John's United Church, celebrated on Sunday the fifteenth anniversary of his ordination to the ministry. He gave a special sermon for the occas- ion and the male voice choir rendered an anthem besides a fine quartette, composed of Messrs. Duncan, Bryce, Milne and C. J. Bellamy. Kiiibsrley Piultry Assoc. The annual meeting of the Kimber- ley Poultry Association was held on Monday evening and officers elected for this year. Several special prizes have already been promised for the 1933 show and the directors are to commence shortly on a drive for new members. All chicken fanciers . are urged to join the Association. Fol- lowing are the officers. President â€" F. J. Weber Secretary â€" Saul Fawcett fTreasurer â€" Milton Hutchinson Manager â€" Norman Burritt Fine Choral Concert Music lovers in Flesherton were de- lighted with a fine evening's enter- tainment on Fi'idaj; last by the choir of Knox United church, Owen Sound, assisted by the Neapolitan Orchestra of that city. The choral work was exceptionally well-rendered and show- ed the careful training of the con- ductor, Cyril Moss, F.C.C.O. Num- bers by the mi.xed quartette, male quartette and a ladies' trio were de- lightful and encores were given to a pleased audience. Mr. Jim Milne, brother of Dr. J. E. Milne of Flesh- erton gave two fine tenor solos and also assisted in the quartettes. He responded with encores on a pressing demand. One feature of the pro- gram was an instrumental duet by Mr. Moss and his 12-year-old son, Earl, a talented young musician, who played the piano while his father was at the organ. In another number Earl alternated at the organ, with which he seemed to be perfectly fam- iliar. The Neapolitan Orchestra gave several fine selections and assisted the choir with the Anthems. Miss Jean Srfiith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herb Smith of Owen Sound is a mem- ber of the choir. The auditorium of the church was well filled, but should have been crowded for such a choral treat. Half Holidays Start Thursday, May 4th The wee-kly half holiday of the Flesherton merchants is to commence on Thursday of next week, May 4th, and will continue throughout the months of May, June, July, August and September. It has been decided to take every Thursday afternoon during these months and also all holi- days that occur during that time. Sharp â€" McMuUen A quiet wedding took place on Sat- urday, April 22, in the United Church parsonage, Flesherton, when Elizabeth McMuUen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alex. McMuUen of Flesherton was united in marriage to Lome Russell Sharp, also of Flesherton, Rev. W. J. Scott officiating. The bride looked lovely in a dress of brown and biege silk crepe with coat and accessories to match. The bride was attended by her sister, Mrs. Chas. McDermid and the groom was supported by Mr. Chas. McDermid. A wedding dinner was served at the home of the bride's parents, after which the happy couple left on the afternoon train for a short honey- moon. On their return they will reside on the groom's farm near Flesherton. .&. Try a "Small Advt."

FLESHERTON Track Being Lifted Down Caledon Hill This week work commenced on the tearing up of the rails on the C.P.R line between Melville Jet. and Bolton, which was abandoned a year ago, aftei it had failed to pay its way. For the past several years all trains from Owen Sound to Toronto have been routed over the Credit Valley line. Th'e' removal of thi-s line results in the elimination of the famous horseshoe curve south of Caledon, where the noted Caledon wreck occurred in Sep- tember, 1907, with a load of passen- gers for the Exhibition. Many from this district were injured and Norris Tucker, a boy of 17 years, was killed. It wasa costly piece of road_for the C.P.R. to operate as the Credit line has not the steep grades to contend with. IT IS YOUR INDUSTRY Your town newspaper office is one of your industries ar.J as such, it merits your support, says the Arm- prior Chronicle. The more business you leave with your paper, the more hands it will employ â€" hands who will spend their wages within the corpora- tion, in rent and taxes and with the business men. It is one industry that does not ask any concessions in the way of fixed assessment or bonus or reduced taxation and, unlike othei industries, has a Voice that will speak for you, as well as for itself, and is at all times prepared to firrther yout interests and the interests of your town. All local industries should be patronized in every possible way, and most particularly your town newspap- er, whose trading area is limited to the countryside surrounding your town and looks to you to help it in every way possible. To this may we add that local in- stitutions such as churches, schools and organizations of various kinds, that resort to all sorbs of expedients to avoid suppoj-ting the local paper, and then growl because the local pa- per, knowing this full well,' is not over eager to grant them favors in the way of publicity, are very short- sighted and unreasonable, to say the least? Can they blame publisV>prs if they insist that any publicity given must be paid for at regular rates? THIS WAS TOUGH To have about seven gallons of newly-made maple sjmip splash out of a can and float down a stream was the experience of a farmer near Dun- dalk a few days ago. He had boiled all day (in the rain) and his son was driving home with the syrup on the stoneboat. In crossing a small stream the nose of the stoneboat stuck in the opposite bank, precipitating can and contents into the stream. The young man did his best to save the day's boil but just didn't. It's tough to see about twelve dollars floating away from a fellow nowadays, still there's no use crying over spilt maple syrup. As one local wag remarlced, "The fish ought to be sweet in the Grand this year." â€" Dundalk Herald. Team Ran Four Miles Mr. Art Porteous of Rock Mills had an exciting time on Friday morning last when a team he was driving be- came frightened and ran away at Rock Mills, in front of Mr. Dick Clark's farm. They were not stopped â- â€¢ntil they arrived in town at the home of his father, Mr. John Porteous, on the northern outskirts of town, having travelled a distance of about four miles. Neither the horses nor wagon were injured except that the front end board was smashed by Mr. Porieous as he pushed on it with his feet in an attempt to stop the team. Previous to this the team ran while coming down the hill at the farm ol his brother, Joyce, at Rock Mills They turned ea^t and at Mr. Thos Fisher's farm turned ir: at the g'ate and ran striiipht to the bush at the rear of the farm. •Here they befamo entangled with tree.s and forced to stop. The cause of this run was from the lines breaking at the buckles on the bridle of cr.r " the horses. It was an exciting lu ning for Mr. Porteous and one that he will not forget for some time, nor wish to have repeated. LOOKING BACKWARDS ON ALGONQUIN PARK Those who have visited Algonquin Park return with a treasure house ol memories, for in their minds are pic- tured ii;i clear lakes, its islands, and streams which wind untroubled through the forest or tumble down rocky rapids. There are deer ana other animals of the wild living a free and protected life, beaver dams, pleasant canoe trips, enchanting camp sites, thrilling episodes with rod and line, to think about after holdaying in this reserve in the heart of this fait province of Ontario. There is ac- commodation for those who would eschew the life under canvas but it is in keeping with a wilderness where no motor horns disturb the quiet; no firearms, only the click of cameras startle wild life to action. Some there are who can look back on this region when there was no such place as Algonquin Park on the map Ball Clob Organizes Flesherton is to have a baseball team this year. This decision was reached at an enthusiastic meeting ot prospective players and fans on Thursday evening last. How strong the team will be remains to be seen, but the boys appear to be eager to commence practising and with such enthusiasm displayed should enter the sport with zeal and make it a success. The following officers were elected to lead the club: Presidentâ€" \V. E. Turney. Vice.-President â€" J. O. Dargavel. Sec.-Treas.â€" P. Dow. Manager â€" E. J. Bennett. Coach â€" F. J. Thurston. This village has been without a baseball team for several years, in fact ever since the old Centre Grey League went into the discard and the boys have been spending their time at softljall, which did not rally the old baseball fans to its support.

A small deposit will hold any garment for later delivery for you. The big news of the week is the United States' departure from the gold standard and her plans for con- trolled inflation. Senator Thomas of Oklahoma introduced a bill in the United States Senate, which will grant President Roosevelt the power to ex- tend currency and credit, decrease the gold Value of the dollar and accept, if he wishes, silver in payment for war debts. This bill constitutes an am- endment to the Farm Relief Act. Who is ready to answer now the following questions: What is sound money? It would be interesting to hear the answer. You remember we were told that nations could not leave the gold standard, that inflation could not be carried out singly, that nothing could be done about the money situa- tion until the world economic confer- ence met and the doubters said "inflation will not raise commodity prices." But commodity prices in the United States have risen at the certainty of inflation and before it has gotten under way. The deflationists might well ponder over the words of the Rt. Hon. Reg- inald McKenna, one-time Chancellor of the British Exchequer, spoken in London on January 27th, 1933: "Con- trolled inflation, far from being a remedy of fools or knaves, has become widely regarded as the best solution of our troubles since it has become reahzed that a substantial rise in wholesale prices need have no more thar. a slight effect upon the cost ol I'Ving." Ajid agaic: ",We are free to !â-  gulate our o^vn price level by increasing or decreasing the quantity of money." After all, those of us who have been studying Keynes, Cassel, Mc- Kenna, Blackett and Chase, are not the wild-eyed extremists and vision- aries that we are painted, but actually are much closer to reality than those who are attempting to solve the 20th century problems with 19th century solutions. It is humiliating to every Canadian, at any rate to every thinking Canad- ian, that Canada must rely on Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. Mcdonald or Mr. Somebody-else for any action that will result in the recovery of pur- chasing power by the majority of Canadians. Had this Government, when first elected in 1930, gone off the gold standard and inflated our currency, price levels of basic com- modities would have been raised, markets in cheap-money countries held and . unemployment decreased, in- stead all the time has been spent on keeping sacred "contractural obliga- tions" maintaining "sound money'' and losing markets abroad. to be gained from having a reserve in the uplands of Central Ontario were first pointed out. The project re- ceived favorable attention and in 1893 the Legislature took action to appro- priate eighteen townships, comprising] 1,46G square miles, for this purpose. In the language of the Act these 160,- 393 acres of water, and 831,793 acres of land, wei-e "reserved and set apart as a public park and forest reser\'a- tion, fish and game preserve, health and pleasure ground, for the benfit, advantage and enjoyment of the people of Ontario" forever. No railway line touched the Park at that time, but later a line crossed the southern portion of the Park, and at a still later period another gave Bc- cess to the northern section. A superintendent and a staflf of four or five rangers originally cared for the Park, bot this mnnber has been in- creased and the bonndaries of the re- serve have also been extended. Streams have been cleared, portages brushed out, shelter huts erected game protected from poachers, and other activities carried on to keep the Park a natural playground. For forty years the Park has lived up to its designation as a pleasure ground, and thousands have fished its lakes, followed its canoe trails, camped, bathed and rested within its borders. Each year that passes adds to its attractiveness, and Algonquin Park may well look forward with assurance to its future, giving health and pleasure to all who enter its portals in search of Nature's gifts. MARRIED In St. James .Ainglican church, Dun- dalk, on Monday, .-Vpril 24th at 2 p.m. Marshal Robert Thomas Thompson was united in marriage to Monica Irene Midd, both of Toronto, the mar- riage being solemnized by Rev. .M. F. Oldham. The groom is a brother of Mrs. Hugh Trudgeon and son of Mr. and Mrs. John (Thompson of Melan- cthon township.
