THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDXESDAF. MAY 17, 1933 « â- * Barn Burned Near Dundalk On Sunday A disastrous barn fire occurred on Sunday afternoon in Proton town- ship when the fine large barn belong- ing' to Mr. Archie Russell was totally destroyed, together with all the con- tents. In addition to the farm im- plements and the u^sual stock of grain and hay, there was also destroyed some 30 head of cattle which had not yet been put out to pasture, six hors- es and a number of pigs. The barn was a mass of flames when it wa^s discovered ar.d there was nothing which could be done to- ward saving it, aUthough every effort was made to get out some of the 'Tive stock. It is thought that the barn must have caught fire from a spark from the house, which is but a short distance away. The loss is a very heavy one for Mr. Russell, and the Â¥4/'>f>0 insurance which he cairied will not begin to cover it. The bam of Mr. George Rnssell, a short distance away caught from sparks from the other fire, and but through the hard work of neighbors it was saved. PRACTICE PLUS SCIENCE PRODUCES HIGH QUALITY Farmer demand for the newest agri- â-  cultural literature has reached record proportions. This would further in- dicate that the Ontario farmer is con- stantly striving to produce even high- er quality products, through the com- bining of his practical experience with the latest in scientific thought. Another thing these modem "re- veal everything" style of clothes the women are wearing have shown is that all the family skeletons are not kept in the closet. Alderman in Montreal who is also a doctor will give free blood pressure te&ts to his colleagues in order to prove his claim that many of them are suffering from high blood pres- sure. Tests of the ratepayers just after new taxes are announced may also prove illuminating. Od Saspended Sentence Magistrate Spereman of Owen Sound presided at a court held in the town hall on Friday afternoon, when two alleged theft cases were tried. Alex. Moore charged Osborne Mc- CuUough, both of Osprey, with the theft of wood, but the case was dis- charged. The second case was that of Levi Ducfceti vs Basil Somberger and Harvey McQuarrie, both of Osprey charging the theft of a pnmp cylinder. McQuarrie claimed that the cylinder was purchased from him by Duckett in 1931 for $8 and when he did not receive pay he, along with Somberg- er, went to the property and removed the cylinder. Duckett claimed that the deal was a straight trade, two other cylinders figuring in the trans- action. Magistrate Spereman found both defendants guilty and suspended sentence with the understanding that the cylinder would be replaced by Monday, 'May 15. He said that the defendants should not have taken it themselves unless there was a lien and McQuarrie shouSd have taken the case- to Division Court if he wished Took His Own Life By Hanging In Barn After ouffering for some time from ill health Mr. Albert Armstrong ol the Valley Road, north of Kimberfey took his own life early Monday morn- ing by hanging himself in his barn, after presumably setting fire to his residence, which was burned to the ground. Last November, it will be recalled, the deceased was lost overnight in the swamp on the Beaver River, near his home and search parties were sen*, out to hunt for him at that time. He came out of the swamp none the worse of his experience. It was thought at that time that his health was causing him considerable con- cern. Since that time his health has remained the same, but it was not f<i't that he would commit any rash act and was therefore not watched. About five o'clock Monday morn- ing he was missed from the home of his father, where he has been re- siding, and members of the family, on looking out of a window, noticed smoke issuing out of his own resi- to secure cylinder, which he had in- j^^^.^ adjoining and in a few mom- "Memories" By A. S. THLRSTON stalled on the pump. Neither de fendants were represented by lawyers and Mr. Somberger conducted the defence.

High School Salaries Are Greatly Reduced At tiie last meeting of the High School Board contracts were offered to the four tea-jhers of the school that will mean an aggregate saving of $1100 to the section by the reduction of salaries being paid. Principal Thibaudeau contract called for a re- daction of $400 from the $2800 he re- ceived last year, but to date he has not accepted the terms offered The other teachers, Mr. Eubank, Miss Mc- Donald and Miss Dewar, have accept- ed contracts at $1500, $1400 and $1300 respec-tively, a saving of $700 over the salaries paid last year. With these reductions the average price paid by the Board is $1650, which brings it within line of other schools in the county. This decrease in sal- aries by the High School Board makes a tots) of $2100 which it has saved the taxpayers during the past year. These reductions had to be made by the Board on recommendation of the Ontario Department of Education which has reduced its grants for sec- ondary education, followed by a like cat from the Grey County Education- al committee.

HICKLING Good Home Surroundings Always Pleases Visitors Is it not true that many more people than usual are taking advant- agre of the spring weather to beautify their homes,? asks the Stayner Sun. .At any rate there seems to be an unusual amount of activity evident throughout the town on the part of those of our citizwis who are anxious to improve the value of their property as well as experience the joy that is derived from a well-kept garden ol flowers. Kothing pleases the visitor to our town more than the sight of a street, which, as far as the eye can see, has well-kept boulevards, velvety lawns and beautiful flowCTs. There is no other investment which pays such srreat dividend-s at such a small initial cost. .\ number of well- placed flower beds bri.ghtens many a dull corner, enhances many a drnb surrounding and provides a pkasing background, to say nothing of the beauty of bouquets furnished by these same flowei-s for decoration insid« the home.
