THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDNESDAY, JULY 19, 1933 i Hail la July Rare Heavy Fall Saoday Hail fell on Sunday afternoon in a shower during a heavy rain storm and in a few moments the crroand was a sheet of white. In a swath a mile wide north of Orange Valley there was a regrular cloud burst of hail, more than at Flesherton, and considerable damage was done to standing crops, more especially wheat, which was ready to cut. A field of wheat owned by Mr. W. J. Bowes, a mile and a half south of Markdale, was destroyed to the extent of about 75 per cent, of the entire crop. In this belt m^ny more fields were laid flat and gardens were extensively de- stroyed, while com leaves were left in tatters. 'fhe fall of hail was so heavy that on Monday morning shovelsful of it could be gathered in sheltered places beside buildings in town. Previous to a light rainfall on Saturday this district had only en- joyed one heavy fall of rain in five weeks and growth was suffering from the drought. However, it allowoi! â- most of the farmers to finish theii haying in rec-ord time, and all of it was stored in barns in perfect con- dition. Monday evening another heavy fall of rain was enjoyed and the p-.ound has now received a real soakiii;^. However, if the weather turns hot thai-e ia great danger of the oats becomins? rusted. HINCKSâ€" McKECHNIE A quiet, but pretty wedding took place on Saturday at 4 o'clock p.m., July 13th, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John W. Mc- Ke.hnie, Durham, Ont., when their daughter, Islay Waddell, w^as united in marriage to Mr. Alfred D. Hincks of Toronto, .son of Mr. David and the late Mrs. Hincks, Priceville. The' bride ente2"ed the living room on the arm of her father to the strains of the wedding chorus, played by Miss Jean Hincks. The marriage was performed by Rev. W. H. Smith of Durham. The bride looked charming in a floor length gown of ivory satin with chenille lace with matching lace cap and orange blos;:ms and wore the gift of the groom, a white gold necklace, with aquamarine drop and carried a gorgeous bouquet of rose- hill roses and baby's breath. The groom's gift to the pianist was a white gold tiinne'r ring. Following the cerenTiony a wedding breakfast was served to immediate friends of the bride and groom. The table was beautifully decorated with Sweet Heart 'S;'>ses. The toast master was Rev. ,wVh. Smith. J'oast to the bride proposed by Mr. Joe Crutchley responded to by the groom. Toast to the gi'oom by Mr. Clifford Hincks. After congratulations and good wish- es the happy couple left on a trip by motor through Manitoulin Island and Northern Ontario. The bride travell- ed in a white crepe suit, with match- ing accessories. On their return they will reside at 3€3 Glenholmc Ave., Toronto. EFFICIENCY A new idea in scarecrows was be ing demonstrated at an agricultural show. "Efficient?" echoed the demon- strator. "Why, when first we tried it out not only did it s;are the crows, but one old black fellow was so fright- ened that he brought back some corn he had stolen three days before." 12th Id Markdale Over fifty Lodges took part in the I2th of July celebration in Markdale on Wednesday of last week, when over 1200 Qrangemen marched in the parade. Fleaherton's two lodges L.O.L. 2855 and L.O.B.A. 545, march- ed in the parade, in company with practically every other lodge in East Grey. Mr. Jos. Blakeley of Flesh- erton, veteran member of Proton Sta- tion L.O.L. 244, was seated in the car heading the procession, containing Mr. Thos. Mathews of Markdale, old- est Orangeman in the parade. Flesh- erton L.O.L. 2855 was the youngest lodge in the parade. A special race for young horses was staged with Bay Billy, owned by Carman Brown of Meaford, taking first, Teddy Patch, owned by Ed. Seeley of Maxwell second and J. A Crow-ston's Brino Patch third. Han- over defeated the Owen Sound Mill- ionaires 8-7 in an excellent baseball game. The 12th in Flesherton was a quiet day, but the morning was livened up by the lodges going through with fife and drum playing. The fine fife and drum band from Durham, containing several ificmfiers, was a pleasing attraction and the fifers and drummers from Feversham and Fle.--herton lodges gave rousing music to a fair sized crowd. Saw Italian Seaplanes Two Flesherton citizens, C. J. Bell- amy and W. E. Turney, had the un- expected pleasure of viewmg the Ital- ian flyers as they winged their way over Thornbury on Saturday after- noon. They were flying comparative- ly low and a fine view of the great machines was secured. Owing to storms around Toronto and over Lake Ontario the flyers were forced to take a more northerly route where clear skies ensured good flying.. The fleet of 24 planes was headed by General Italo Balbo and had left Italy two weeks ago, with the Chicago World's Fair as their destination. Only one accident marred the entire trip of several thousand miles ana that was at Amsterdam, Holland, when one of the flying boats turned over and a mechanic was killed. The 24 flying boats did not travel together as three of them were seer north of Eugenia, while scores throughout this district heard the machines as they flew. They pass- ed over Owen Sound, Kincardine, God- erich and then to Detroit, turning westward at that point for Chicago whare they arrived at about 6 o'clock p.m. General Balbo and his fellow tlyers received a great ovation by the people of Chicago and""during the past few days have been feted and dined like royalty. Normal School Results Congratulations are extended to the following Normal School pupils, who attended the' Flesherton High School, on their success at the annual exam- inations: Misses Marion Bibby and Christina Magee received their In- terum First Class certificates, Miss Irene Martin and Mr. Jack McKechnic their Interum Second Class certif- icates. Hit Two Home Runs To Win Ball Game Kimberley emerged as winners of the baseball game with Flesherton in the local park on Thursday afternoon last 9-7. Two home run smashes in the Dth inning by the Haines broth- ers was the punch that made the game sure for Kimberley. It was the best game the local lads have played this year, as their hitting was fair and their fielding was better than that of Kimberley, making the game more exciting to watch. Bob Phillips pitched his first full game for Flesh- ton and struck out seven batters and did not issue any walks. He ap- peared to ease up when Kimberley came to bat in the 9th and the first two to come to bat, Stan and Len Haines, hit for home runs. Bob im- mediately struck out Dillon and Cecil Fawcett reached first on an error. L. Lawrence fanned and Bates Faw. cett was out at first.

He bore down in the pinches and was very sparing with his hits. Dundalk kept up their winning streak by defeating the Ravenna squad by a high score that would be a shame to publish as a baseball score. It appeared more as though the boys were playing basket ball. A NEW LOW "Can you imagine!" cried Estelle, the waitress. "That fellow I waited on just now .said hogs were five dol- lars now. Did that mean five dollars each?" "No," replied Tillie, the cashier, "that's five dollars a hundred, ol course." "Hm-m! No wonder farmers are kicking," sighed Estelle. "Imagine only a nickel a piece for pigs!"

Vandeleur comes to Flesherton for the first meeting between the two teams during the League schedule. It is a case of having to win foi Flesherton so the boys v.-iU be out to win. Let us see a big crowd out tc encourage the team. They still have a chance to have a place in the play- off games. But J,hc-y need your sup- port to cheer them on, so come on out and put pep into the game with some chatter on the sidelines.

From January to December there will be seven eclipses, five o( the sun and two of the moon. This is the greatest possible number ol eclipses that can happen in any one year, and it is 128 years since the event has occurred. The last time this series of eclips-..-.! took place was during 1805, when Lord Nelson won Trafalgar. .â- \s far as Canada is concerned, the interesting thing about the seven W'iZ • eclipses is that five for certain and possibly six of them will be visible from various portions of the Domin- ion. THE WORLDS LARGEST HOG Hoping to show the world's biggest hog at the Chicago World's Fa'r, Wai- ter Chappell, Jackson, Tenn., has been game and play as if they were vet- f^gjjjnj,. i,|g ^^:g Poland-China boar a eians. It ca;.not be expected of thtm, but yet they are playing good lall and before the season is over will give a good account of themselves. The Flesherton Tennis Club mem- bers visited the Durham Club Thurs- dav last for a friendly tournament diet that he hoped would bring him to 3,000 pounds by fair time. .\ few days ago when the hog tipped the scales at 2,550 pounds, highest weight ever to be known to be attained by a porker, the animal broke a foreleg under the strain of so much poundagt and paralysis set in. His owner had Many of our people were excitec on Saturday, when they saw the Ital- ian seaplanes pass over the end p\ the valley and bay at Meaford. 12 could be easily seen at one time, then in a few minutes, 8 or 9 more could be counted from here. The roar ol tiie engines could be heard for many miles. Misses Verdu and Merelda Taylor of Oshawa are holidaying with' tht-ii grandmother, Mrs. Jas. Lawrence. A pleasant event took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Weber on July IG, when all the families of Mr. John Waber Sr., gathered to celebrate with h'im his 84th birthday. Over 40 had tea and pleasant chat with him as he is still smart on his feet and retains his fine memory. Those from a distance were: Mr and Mrs. W. Marshall, Mr. and Mrs. Fay Marshall, Miss Geraldine Weber, Mr. A. .Wardman, Toronto, along with the sons and daughters and friends. We extend our best wishes for many more happy birthdays to Mr. Weber. Mr. John Weber, Mrs. W. Barnhouse, son and daughter, were not present. Most people wore a smile when they saw the rainfall Sunday. It was accompanied by a heavy down- fall of hail, a good deal of it about an inch square. It could be gathered in places over an hour later. Little damage was done, as there was very little wind. Mi's. Flavins, Miss Mary and the boys are in rooms of Mr. A.
