WKDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1933 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE fe THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Published on ColKnifwood street, Flesherton, Wednesday of each week. Cupculation over 1000, Prke in Canada $2.00 per year, when paid in advance $1.60. In U. S. A- $2.60 per year, when p«id in advance $2.00. ^•♦♦♦♦w~:~>^<'<~X";~><~:~m>*<>«>»>*4«*<"KKm:«<"K~>x~k~>'X«*«>«^h~:~^^ V. H. THURSTON, r. J. THURSTON, • Editor Aasoc. Editor EDITORIAL NOTES Remembrance Day is not observed for the special privilege of hunters. • • • The Canadian dollar i-s at par with United States funds. This shows that Canada's future prospects are of the britirhte.st. * * • So far "Old Man Depression" has outwitted its pursuers who have wish- ed it strangled, and appearances are that it will soon be caught. • « ♦ The lid is being prie<t off the hockey pot for this season and Thursdaj night the professional league com- mences. "King" Clancy, Charlie Conacher, Joe Primeau and othert will again be the heroes of the small boy as supermen in hockey circles. • * • These are anxious times for the farmers residing near the main high- ways with so many tran.sients trav- elling from town and staying far the night at any convenient i)oint. Sev- eral fires near Flesherton recently have been laid to these men careless- ly throwing used matches away, or in other ways causing losses to build- ings. There is no way to prevent this hazard except by padlocking each door and this might not be very ef- fective either. A constant watch should be kept by the farmer at all times and any suspicious characters kept moving. • * * . Mortgages for Hydro systems in seveny-sevcn Ontario municipalities have been cleared up, but Flesherton does not belong to this preferred class. There are eleven years yet for the mortgage to run, as it was for thirty years. How some of these places, which gave a mortgage at the same time Flesherton did, can have enough funds on "hand at pres- ent to retire them and still provide service at cost is beyond us. To do 80 they are charging higher rates than is re<i"uii-ed. If so it is not fair to their present customers, who art paying more than their share in buy- ing the system. » ♦ ♦ The Advance is indebted to Mr. A. W. Wright, editor of the Mount For- est Confederate for a coi)y of pion- eer journali.«m in the County of Well- ington, relating to the history ot every paper that has been published in that county. This (book should be more valuable in future years. A few years ago Mr. Wrig'hl published a book "Pioneer Days in Nichol" and since then a second edition has receive<l a warm response from citiz- ens interested in the history nf Nichol and district. We know that Mr Wright's work will l>e appreciated, as evei-y community should have a his- tory availaible of its past life, the associations of which would becomt more valuable with the years.

HEfNRERSON, Teachei CEYLON .SCHOOL REPORT Takes Optimistic Attitude Towards Ontaria Fairs "Fof very definite reasons," statea J. A. Carroll, superintendent of Horti- cultural Societies, "I am convincen that the near future will, once again ^•^e the Fall Fair ns an institution oi r.al importancf in the farming life «f Ontario." Mr. Carroll, in his official capacity has visited some 28 fair.s commencing with the Canadian National Exhibi- tion. He points out that gate re- ceipts are increasing generally and in some cases, this increase is as much as thirty or forty per cent, over last year. "Crops in general being" earlier this year," he said, "has rc-sulte<l in giving more farmers time to attend the fairs Then again, economic conditions have had much to do with increased attend- ance. Where in the past farmers would turn to the city for relaxation a les» expensive entertainment is now the order of the day. Fall fairf answer this need." More attractive prizes and the pro- ffram of Junior Work has been carried on for over twenty years now, ami thi.i program is beginning t/> beai fruit, inasmuch a.s an entirely ne-w generation is added to the attendinct of these annual functions. "For these reasons," he concluded "I cannot take anythinir but an opti- tntstic attitude towards the future of the fall fair in Ontario."

LONG-HEADKD BILLY Billy had sprained his wrist and didn't want to go to school. "But your wrisi is nicely bandaged," urged his mother, "it won't prevent you from going." Still the boy held back "Now tell mc," commanded his moth- ar, "what is the real reason why yov do not want to go to school with a bandaged wrist?" "Too many ol the boys owe me a licking," replied Billy. Twice within :5our dayb robbers have tried without success to entet a bank at Ashern, Alta. And other folk, not robbers, who do get in, hav, had little better luck. 0.

THINK THIS OVER Pierre Van Paassen declares there is freedom in Russia for only one class, the workers and the poorest peasants. All the others are merci- lessly ground to pieces. That is something for those who admire the Soviet system to think over. â€" Peter- borough Examiner. One word won't tell you very much You've got to keep on talking. One step won't take you very far.
