THURSTON, - Assoc Editor EDITORIAL ITEMS Unless Car.adian farmor.s them- a*lves export their pig product.s to Oreat Britain they do not btnc'.'it by the bonu^ fifranted by the Dominion (government. The bonus goes to the exporting men. • • • "Some motorists believe in giving the pedestrian a break" comments the Toronto Star. On tiie other hand other wheelmen insist on laying out tlie traveller as well. • * • I'nited church of Canada author- ities report a very warm respon.se to their appeal that their members take up the cent-a-meal contribution to missions, knowing that if this simple contribution became universal theii funds would be placed on easy street and their missions in sparsely settled districts would be able to carry on .Jost now the churches are establish- ed, thfc youthful preachers are ready to go to them, but money is not forthcoming to pay them. Bad times- have h?t the churches hard, but optim- un is increasing. • • • The government sellers of intoxi- ca.ting liquors, if we are to credit the revelations in the police courts, con- tinue to hand out whisky aad beet to thirsty addicts with great prodigal- ity. For example, in one day rec- ently, a magistrate discovered from one man's permit that he had, within "the last little while" obtained from the government salesman no fewer than nin« consignments of liquor of 48 pints each! Then another buyer was found on the street with twelve icases of beer in his car, which he had 'Obtained from a government depot. Ue did not even have the colorable "permit"! It would appear that the liquor salesmen are just as anxious to sell the intoxicants as the authori- ties are to rejoice that the sales are pQcntiful and the cash received for their treasury continues plentiful. But it is all very wrong, detrimental to the public, and opposed to what they have a right to expc-t. W. H. Fleshera familyâ€" Mrs. VV. H.

Josiah Greene, then 'M'ethodist minister here; he carried on a general practice, ami took a prominent part in the public lift of the township, bting Reeve first ;:. 1875 and holding the office for some 16 years. Owing to corduoroy loads, his travelling was mostly doni by horseback, and later by gig as the loads improved, and then the luxury of a buckboard, and then the elegance of a top buggy. A power in the church circles, he made his mark on the worship oi Flesherton. The choir, under the leadership of Mr. Bolster were losing their organist (Miss Jennie Arm- -strong, later Mrs. J. D. Clarke) as she was leaving to attend the Ontario Ladies' College. An edict had gone' forth that no one could become a member of the Choir who danced oi | played cards. Evidently no member eligible was well enough versed in music to take the position left vacant, and so at the extreme young age of TEN YEARS Bella Christoe was pressed into service, and served faith- lully for many years: .she has not confcw.-^ed to us how many years! ( We ha.'l nut known this very inter- esting side-light, and it gi'ves a great- er appreciation than ever of the pos- ition played by this very eslimabk lady, now Mrs. (Rev.) L. W. Thom,' iind living iil 40 North street, Earrit,' (jnt. Our car'.iv-'jt recollections ot ".Miss Chri.'-toe" was that she was an extremely popular young lady.) Dr. Christoe pas.sed on, Ftb. 12th, 11)04; followed by his helpmeet o!i Ft")ruary 12th, 11*10, just 12 year;'- a;:art, to the day. Of him, as of ?everal others it may truly be said that the fintv fnstitutions of Flesher- ton stand as a monument to their mcnory. Enjoyed Toronto Picnic Flesherton Old Boys' and Girls' Association hel.d their annual picnic in the stadium at Hanlan's Point, To- lonto, on Saturday afternoon last with aibout 350 in attendance.

Dear Editor,- I have been perfectly honest in all my transaction-4 as Secretary-Treas- urer of the 5»chool Board, and I re- sent any inference of dishonesty on my part. I have tried to give a true light of school affairs while I was in office and I stand be- hind and declaration I have made. I sincerely hope that this letter will clear up any misunderstandinfr which the ratepayers nibv have had. I do not wish to dial with personal affairs and make slanderous statements in leply to those made by your corres- pondent in his last letter, as I never considered that class of debate very elevating, but if I chose I could cer- tainly return the complir.ient. Re the finance statement of the continuation school at I-'eversham as sent out by the trustees concerning the surplus funds, I musi say, that I don't think that their system or i)oo;i- keeping will hold good when they come to make out their financial statement for the department of edu- cation in January next. They seem to omit the fact that I had already charged one debenture to the expen- diture of ly:52 and v.'ant to push this year's debenture in aiso. They must know that the Township Grant re- ceived in January was last year's money which was duo on the 15th of December, 1932 and the debenture they are charging was not due until February, 19oK. The painting and )!ackboard in the small room belongs to this year's business as it ^vas fin- ished after the annual meeting and could not possibly be put in last year's expenditure, so that the surplus is exactly as was stated in my first letter. If I gave the impression in my first letter that the blackboards and decorating were paid for last year it wj:3 a mistake because I knew they were paid for this year and went in with this year's expenditure. Regarding the trustees statement â€" i hoping to get along without the aid I of my colleagues and myself, I sin- cerely hope they can and I wish them every success. I have no fault to find with them publicly in any busi- ness they do, but they should noi. allow statements to be published that are not correct without correcting them so far as they know. Anytime they want to take a squint at that "over $1600" surplus at the end of 33, to the continuation school I will show it by figures and be as good as my word, providing the grams do not change between now and then and they collect all the money that is due them. In regard to the torn cash book and the SI 600 is concerned I tak.' that as a joke for I don't think any one, not even the Correspondent would blame me for dipping in that deep, lowever I will here and now explain the cash 'cook ri|) that I am accused of. Fir.-;t I will tell you there is one leaf out of the cash book '"and only one" with any business on it that was tian.saeted during my term of office. Now, 1 v.ant this clearly understood, "ju.5t one leaf had irone out of the cash book, the receipts of 1929. from the time I received it in January 1928 until I gays' it to Mr. I'cdiar some time lust .April. The school was erected in the summer â- if l!".iS an 1 all re-.v.pts anil exprndi- tuiTs of that year were in the ii-ash book when I tuincd them over. This is thei (dd cash book that h;.,? not been usci sin-o DFcember. 1931. Whai I gave Mr. Pedlar this cash book 1 0|i med the hook ;-.nd showed hmi whore the leaf was ou*^ and told him whera he would e.c. a copy of that year's business if he or anyone ei-o wished to look ii, up. I did not a.=. him to keen nuiet a")Out tne ieai boiniv cut rjor did I intimate to him not to .°ay anything about it. Had I want- ed to I could have handcl him this old cash bock and I am dot Jtful if he would have noticed the leaf being out for months. â€"FRED f^. HALE.
