THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDNESDAY, JULY. 26. 19SS » • » « t i « • : - ♦ •-f;v .»«• t- - o Wiley Post Flew Over Fleiherton Saturday Flesherton ciqizeoa on Saturday evenin^r had a wonderful view of Wiley Post, globe circling alnsftOi when he flew over the village on the last leg of hia round-the-world trip which wag from Edmonton to New York, a distance of 2300 miles. He was travelling fast, approximately ioO miles an hour and in a very few seconds was out of sight of the vill- age. He arrived over Flesherton at 8:15 p.m., just as dusk was settling and the sun on the airplane glinted in the twilight, making it a sight long to be rementbered by all who were fortunate in viewing the epoch-making flight. As evidence of Post's fast time on the trip is the fact that he arrived over Toronto at 8:50, juat 35 minutes after passing this place, a distance of approximately 80 miles. At 10:5B the ra(^io announced hia arrival at' New York, where great crowds as- 1 sembled at the Floyd Bennett aii j port, from which he had departed 186 , hours, 49 and one-half minutes prev- iousljr, travailing 15,400_ miles in circling the earth. During Saturday a regort came over the radio that Wiley Post was expected to fly over Toronto on his jouraey east and a few decided that this \ as the logical route for him to take and were on the look-out for him. He was seen by people ot Eugenia, as he winged his way through the air, and for some bi them it was the second chance to view world travellers as the Italian 'Armada was sighted to the north while on their way to Chicago on July 15th. To those who know engines it did not seem as those on the Winnie Mae were in the best of condition, as they appeared to be laboring and vibrating and his safe arrival at New York was received with pleasure.

Lower Freight Rates The proposed policy of the railwayi: to enter the field in competition with the tnjcking services, while long de- layed, is the only move they had if they wish to hold on to the package freight business, which even now is pretty much in the hands of the truck- ers. The railways, like other busi- nesses, are finding out that a lot of things which twenty years ago "Simp- ly could not be done" now have to be Lf the business is to be had. It is all right to preach about the money investment of the railways, tell us they own their own right of way and have to maintain it, and all this sort of thing, but it is hard to convince a shifpper he should pay fifty cents freight and another sixty cents cart- age to the railways when he can lay the same bundle down on his door- way by truck for sixty-five cents. This week's announcement that the railways are to inaugurate a pick-up service and abolish the cartage charg- es is about the first real move in this section of Ontario that they have made to show the people they need and want their package freight busi- ness. Previous to this, the package freight could go to hang, it was the carload lot business that got the pref-' erence. With the loss of the pack- age freight end, however, which was taken from the railways by trucks, the railways found, almost too late that this really did (jonstitute the major part of their business â€" and al- most all of their profits. .The lowly way freight has at last come into its own, but none too soon. What the result will be' remains to be seen, but there is one thing sure, the railways have at last done the only thing that will enable them to increase the pay- ing end of their freight business, or retain that which they still hold. â€" Durham Chronicle. Flesherton Win First jbdnctedloNew Charge Game From Vandeleur Durham Tennis Club is coming to flesherton this Thursday afternoon Rev. W. J.

PioUowing is the report of his in- duction as it appeared in the Mon- treal Monitor: Rev. W. J.

Higher Produce Prices Result Of Conference The effect on Canadian agricul- tural trade of preferences grantee ^y Great Britain, at the Imperial Conference, was not readily appreciat- ed when sterling was depreciated, says S. H. Symons, Departmental .Statistician. Since January of this year, how- ever, and more particularly in the iast month, the price of sterling in terms of Canadian dollars has shown an almost sensational appreciation From January 9 of thi-s year to July ,'0, i-terling rose from $3.76 to $4.98. This means that producers in Ontaric leceive approximately one-third more /or their produce, without causing tht British consumer any increase in price. Canadian producers should apprec- iate the advantage they possess in .*he British market, made even more profitable by this latest rise in sterl- ing: and every effort must be made to establish a reputation of grades and regularity of supply for Canadian farm products. These are the two essential requirements demanded by British importers. . Bob PhilHps pitched a fair game for Flesherton, forced eight of the Vans to fan, but weakened and in the last two innings he was touched for six runs. Harold and Reg. Hutton did most of the hurling for Vande- leur, although Russell Graham walked the only two batters to face him, when he tried to pitch in the seventh iiming. There was a larger crowd from town at the game on Thureday and it was very enjouraging to the boys. The next home game will likely be played on August 17th. Flesherton still has a fair chance to get into the play-off games if they replace Vandeleur in third place. To do that they have to win the remaind- er of their games â€" one with Vande- leur and two with Ravenna. Dun- dalk and Kimberley are sure to be in at the finish. Dundalk wae to play in Kimberley last Friday, but rain fell in the morn- ing and the game was postponed. These two teams meet in Dundalk this Thursday afternoon and the con- test should Ij? interesting. This Thursday afternoon a baseball game will be played on the local dia- mond between the junior and senioi teams of town. A royal battle can be expected, as the juniors claim that they have the best team. It might be so, but be at the game at 2 p.m. sharp and see for yourself.

This is the case 10 such an extent that the proper typo of feeder cattle is bringing a price (Xiuivalent to. and in some instances even higher, than that offered for the finished export animal.

Bennett The Presbyterian League softball team is well on the way to establish- ing something of a record in league Softball, having won five straight league games, with three wins in exhibition games. They have two more games to play, one with Price- ville and the other with Markdale. These should be real contests, as the team is anxious to go through the schedule without a defeat. Their last victory tojk place last Thursday night when they trinuned Markdale on the local diamond at the high school to the tunc of 13-6.

Flesherton gave Markdale a real chance to win a game, Monday even- i-g of this week when all they suc- ceeded in doing was tieing the score lt5 all on the latter'* diamond. Mc- Master, FUsherton's star pitcher was away and the team usetl two pitchers who had not pitched in their life be- fore. Thera were many errors on both sides, which resulted in the high score. The game was called at the end of the sixth on account of dark- ness. Seven innings might have been played if Markdale had made their score card before the locals ar- rived. After the locals arrived it was about twenty minutes before play began, a« it was necessary to cut up a card board box to secure a score card, and then rule it out. We won- der whose fault this was? induction was carried out last week- end by the Montreal presbytery un- der the presidency of the moderator, Rev. James Adams. . . .-s remarks to the newly-inducted minister. Rev. -Adams outlined the great opportunity presented in the district and stated that fifty percent of the people wht have moved into the area served b> the Scott Church are not yet con- nected with any church. He advised him to "put first things firs{" in order that the great advance anticip- ated in the church be realized. The congregation had been without the services of a regular pastor foi a year and during that time has held together through the efforts ol the Rev. Opr Mulligan, interim mod erator. In his address, at the in- duction, he told the congregation that their new minister was not called upon to act as an entertainer, to be an organizor, but to lead them in spiritual things. Rev. William McLean, mini-ster ot the Outremont-Presbjterian Church preached the sermon. He paid tribute to the new minister, stressed the point that he is an indefatigable wxjrker and predicted that progress would be made under his direction. "Progress is a good test of any church," he stated in conclusion. The induction of Rev. Dr. Mclvor was one of two official acts carried out by the Montreal Presbytery at the same time. Following the ser- vice of induction, the Presbytery held a special meeting to receive a call from a Maisonneuve Church. It was accepted and forwarded to tht Rev.

Mr. Cooey says that it was not a stone which struck the glass, as he saw one of the men in the rear seat raise his arm and shoot, while rest- ing the hand on the car door.
