â-  .â-º. THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE VED.. SEPTEaiBER 20, 1933 -V Dufldaik Woo Protest; FlesbertoD Drops Out By reason of a committee room deciiion of the Centre Grey Baadball League Executive last Thursday even- ing at Kimberley, Flesherton retired from the competition, after reaching the final games by a decisive two game victory over Dundalk. The controversy was over the elegibility of Darragli, who resides in Durham, to play with the Flesherton team, the protest being made by Dundalk. The executive ruled that Darragh was in eligible and the games with Dundalk were ordered to be replayed. After reviewing" the treatment accorded Flesherton thia year, the local team officials decided to retire and allow the final games to be played between Kimberley and Dundalk, and allow them to have all the glory they eoald find from such a win. It appeared to the ball club execu- tive that an attempt was being made all year to weaken the team so as not to be contenders in the League race. Dr. Haxold Mountain of Dro- more was signed by both Dundalk and Flesherton teams at the first of the season, but as a representative from Flesherton w^as not at the meet- ing when the players were passed he was riven to Dundalk club without question. An attempt was made by Flesher- ton to have a League meeting called to dispose of the question, but all in vain, despite the fact that affidavit could be produced to -show that the player resided closer to Flesherton than to Dundalk. Player Darragh has been acting as salesman for D. McTavish and Son this summer and it was felt that he was entitled to play for Flesherton, consiJerin.a: that he resided only one tenth of a mile further from Flesherton than did Mountain and Taylor of Di-omore, who played for Dundalk. Si.\ ot the nine members of the executive decided against Flesherton on the subject, the Kimberley members be- ing especially vehement in their pro- test of Flesherton's action, according to those who attended the meeting. The action of Flesherton in retiring no doubt suited them, as the next day Dundalk played the first final game in Kimberley and were defeated again. In fact a Dundalk player is reported as saying that Kimberley lu'ged the protest to be entered by Dundalk. It is regrettable that the League finals would end in such condition, but the Flesherton ball officials and players decided that their action was justified despite the fact that they felt they could "take" Kimberley with- out the services of Darragh, whose presence on the team did not make any game he played in an assured win. It was just all-round good playing by the team as a whole that brought them into the final games with six straight wins after four de- feats. Stodeols At Normal The following students of Flesher- ton are attending Normal school in Toronto: Misses Audrey Brown, Annie Akins, Ellen Parker, Elda Fxook, Marion Shaw, and Messrs. Jackson Stewart, Mervyn Little and Willie Somers. Three other graduates are entering the nursing profession: Monica Lam- bert in the Hospital for Sick Children, .A.lmeda Hincks and Sadie Carson in Grace Hospital, Toronto. Appe-arance of the pigskin on ath- letic fields is a reminder that the coon coat season isn't far off. Kimberley Takes First League Ball Game I -^â€" â€" Kimberley baseball team took the first of the final Centre Grey League games from Dundalk Friday after- noon to the tune of 17-16. Laurie Lawrence won the game for Kimber- ley with a hit that drove in the winn- ing run in the sixth. The game was called at that stage on account of darkness. Dundalk used three pitch- ers. Mountain, Douglas and Lockhart, while Kimberley used two, Amos Bowles and Laurie Lawrence. The game was a heavy hitting affair and intermingled with numerous errors that were costly for Dundalk. The second game of the series is being played in Dundalk this Thurs- day afternoon.

PURCHASE SEED POTATOES NOW/ AS HIGHER PRICE IS EVIDENl Reports to the Department indi- cate that growers of potatoes for the early market ne.xt season, would be well-advised to purchase their seed supplies now. Lack of moisture has resulted in reducing the early crop of Ontario potatoes by approximately thirty-fiv^ per cent, based on last year's figures. The acreage planted as certified potatoes is reduced by at least twenty- five per cent. Heavy shipments to the consumer's market have been made from this reduced acreage thereby leaving the supply available for seed purposes much less than usual at this time of the year. Under these circumstances, it is only reasonable to assume that con- siderably higher prices will prevail next spring. Therefore, wherevei possible, it is suggested that grow- ers procure their seed supplies while prices are at present levels.

SOFTBALL FLESHERTON vt PRICEVILLE This gam« should be good as it is between two good teams ♦♦♦**«♦♦♦♦♦♦ I CONCERT Friday Night FREDERICK D.WVSON AND COMPANY Â¥nd Dawton, Comedian Donald Jowell, Baritone Helen Bulmer, Soptano and Accompanist A great evenings entertainment with plenty of laughs ADMISSION â€" To grounds 25c, to concert 25c 2/ Sales Execatif e Had Steady Rise The following article appeared in an article in Saturday's Toronto Mail and Empire relating to Mr. Charles McTavish, a Flesherton boy: An Ontario boy who has worked his way upward in the world by dint of sheer hard work, shrewdness and abil- ity, from the bottom rung of the ladder of the business world is C. E. McTavish, General Sales Manager of General Motors Products of Canada, Limited. A holder of this important posi- tion, to which he was appointed only last year, Mr. McTavish has jurisdic- tion and control over a vast network of operations stretching from coast to coast, and embracing eight zone sap- ervisory offices, an equal number of great depots, from which distribution of parts and accessories is controlled; and 14 direct factory sales and service branches. He is also responsible, naturally, for contact with and general super- vision over the more than 1,000 indi- viduals or firms holding the distinc- tion of being authorized retailers of General Moto>rs products. In addition to being active in sport and communal activity, Mr. McTavish is President of the Flesherton Old Boys' and Girls' Association, having been born at Flesherton, and begun there his steady climb toward suc- cess. His first job was that ot grocery clerk and general assistant in a store owned by the late R. J. Sproule at Flesherton, his duties in- cluding the sweeping out of the store svery night, and his salary remaining fixed at $1.50 a week throughout his brief tenure of office. Sought Wider Field Seeing no future in juargling can-s of beans and cartons of cereal, not to mention sweeping ffioors, Mr. ,Mc- Tavish migrated to the metropolis ot the province, where, he felt confident, he would find more activity and more opportunity for a young man with ideas and ambition. He again contented himself with '"beginning at the commencement," so to speak, and took a position as office worker with the Conboy Carriage Co. of Toronto. Little did he dream then that one day he would be one of the chief e.xecutives of the largest auto- motive and vehicle manufacturing concern in the Dominion, a conceim tracing its origin to a carriage com pany which was one of the Conboy firm's chief competitors. .\mbition and willingness to Isarn once more inspired him to move, this , time to the offices of the Dominion Carriage Company, where he bcvame successively cost accountant and as- sistant to the factory manager. From this point he heeded Horace Greeley's remark, "Go west, young man, go west" â€" and became branch sales man- ager at Regina for the Cockshutt Plow Company in 1*15, after three years' service. So evident did his talents become that his services were sought after within a year by the Canadian auto- motile company which, two years later was to become an integral unit in the formation of General Motors of Canada, in the direction of which Mr. McTavish is to-day a leading figure. In 1916, he sat down to work at the desk of the Western Canada Manager for the Chevrolet Motoi Car Company. Moved to Headquarters In the three years that followed, he built up a brillisnt record for himself, so impressive that in 1919, a year after the formation of General Mot- ors of Canada, he rose further to be- come Chevrolet's Service Manager for Canada, with olTices in Oshawa. From thi-s point on his rise was rapid in the roster of General Motors executives. After two years in the position of Chevrolet Service Man- ager, he was promoted to the post of Assistant General Sales Manager foi that car. Serving later as General Part-s and Service Manager for all divisions of General Motors of Canada, he effected a masterly consolidation of parts am/ service operations in all divisions and all regions of the country, an achieve- ment which proved to be the neces- sary initial step leading to establish- ment of the present rone system of direct control over sales and servic* activities throughout Canada. His success in carrying to succes?- ful conclusions this and otK«r import- ant tasks resi»Ued in 1931 with hi.' being rewanled by promotion to As- sistant General Sales Manager, the following year seeing liis placement in his present post as General Sale: Manager of General Motors Product? of Canada, Limited. In Oshawa. Mr. McTavish hcs bien increasingly active on the board-i yi directors of the Rotary and Motoi Clubs, the ChamSer of Commerce Board of Education and local wAt ot ihj Boy Scouts of Canada. Poss- Provincial Plowing Match Last week a little idea of the size I of the Provincial Plowing Match was given to the readers of local papers in Grey County. Undoubtedly many were surprised. However there are still other things in store which should not only interest but bring to the competition farmers from the entire province. In the plan prepared at head office arrangements have been made for one of the largest exhibits of farm mach- inery and appliances. It is antici- pated that almost 8 acres will be taken up with these, as well aa head- quarter's tent. Hydro Electric tents, and the T. Eaton Co's. tents. Quite a number of caterers have applied for space so that visitors to the fair need not go hungry. Undoubtedly the question that is uppermost in everyone's mind is that of prizes. Altogether there are $3,- 300 in cash. I'her is also in addition 300 in cash. There is also in addition prizes are paid the nigii: of the con- test, but he firs prize trophies will be presented at a banquet on Friday night, October 13th. Partridge Open Season Open season on partridge tor resi- dents of Ontario only, with po-jsession of a gun license the only requirement to permit hunting will be from Oct- ober 9th to October 19th, both dates inclusive. Hon. George Challies, Pro- vincial Secretary, announced last week. Special seasons far deer and moose hunters later in the year are included in the order-in-council auth- orizing the dates. By arrangements made by the de- partment residents of Ontario will have first "hunt" on partridge and at the same time will not be subject- ad to the danger of the moose and deer open season. Deer hunting will be allowed a partridge season for the first five or six days of the deer hunting season, in each open case later than the residential open part- ridge season. Bags are limited to five a day of ruffled grouse (birth partridge), Can- ada grouse (spruce partridge), sharp- billed grouc-e (prairie chickeTi., prairie hens and ptarmigan. Bag for the season per hunter must not exceed 15 .A.1I birds must be consumed as food or mounted before November 25 ex- cept in case of special dispensation by the department. 1 100 Persons Get Old Age Pension in Grey Residents of Grey County are prob- ably no different from those in other counties in respect to the light in which they regard Old .A.ge Pensions. Too many of them look upon the Old Age Pension .Act av> an act which provides charity for those who have not, in their better years, saved enough te keep them in their old age or have not the good fortune to hav" sons and daughters who care enough to look after them. -And while such may be true to a certain extent and certainly the lat- ter is, the real object of the Old -Age Pensions .Act is not one of charity rather it i-.s one in which recognition is made to aged people, recognition for the sers'ices they have rendered in their community in the early days. Not all people over seventy have been fortunate enough to obtain a fair share of this world's goods, en- ough to keep them in peace and happi- ness in their declining years and it is to these that the governments ot I the Dominion, province and county | extend the benefits of the Old -Age Pensions -Act, firmly believing that they are doing right by pioneers who are rather unfortunate. The depression has had its effect on Old Age Pensions, although th« act did not come into force antii 1929. Since that time, however, and it was naturally the year in which the largest number of applicatiom were made, the list has grown stead- ily, both in the city of Owen Sound and in the townships and towns ot Grey County, until today the total is close to the 1,100 mark in the county ONTARIO GOVERNMENT TESTS PRIZE-WINNING BACON HOGS To determine the reason for low prices of Ontario hogs in Britain the Department purchased seven carloads of prize-winning hogs at the Canad- ian National Ephibition. These hogs will be processed and shipped over- seas. The animals purchased represent the highest tj-pe of bacon hog in the Province. Ine Department will oversee every stage of the slaughter- ing, processing, judging on the rail, shipping and, finally the smoking process in England. Further, the Department, through Ontario House in London, will market the finished product. â€" HA\T; you RENEWED?

He was also President for several years of the Oshawa City Hockey Club. Mr. McTavish married Mai-gare- Cornish of Toronto and has foui childrenâ€" two boys and two girls. Radio Quartette and You.ng Van Osborne The deep, rich tieauty of the negro spiritual, the phiintive pathos of lullabies crooned by soft darkey voices, the mellow carefree lauirhter that rings through the plantation melodies â€" are marvelously presented by the Deep River Plan- tation Singers. The phenomenal popularity of negro music in the past few years is easily understood when one hears such music sung by capable negro musicians.
