THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1933- â- I I » « ii Memories" By A. S. THURSTON ARMSTRONG, John Wesley â€" Was born in Kilkenny, Ireland, in 1831, and came to Canada with his parent; when 17 years of age. The family remained in Toronto for a year, and then proceeded northward to the new county of Grey. Settling at Inistioge named after his birth place, the sub- ject of this sketch, having in the meantime continued his studies, was appointed the district teacher, and subsequently was selected as Clerk ot the Division Court. Here he married Miss Elizabeth Wilson, whose familj had come from Enniskillen, Ireland. ;and entered on what was destined to .be a very happy wedded life. In 1865, the family moved to the, then, "emh|ryo village of Flesherton, and thenceforth, until his death in his 64th year, in the fall of 1895, he lived a harmonious and helpful life, serving 'his Province in the woirk of the local Court and as a Magistrate faithfully and well. It was natural, too, that one so well invitations have ben received foi equipped should be called upon to the "At Home" of the Flesherton Old l)erform other duties for the commun- Boys' and Girls' Association to bt Service At Eugenia Saturday Morning Saturday morning next, Novembei 11th at 10 a.m. special Remembrance Day services will be held in Eugfenia United church, at which all members of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces and the Militia are invited to attend At 10.45 the service will be adjoumea to the Cenotaph in Memorial Park where the program will be concludec as follows: 10.55 hymn; U to 11.02 silence in remembrance of those who made the supreme Sacrifice; placing of wreath on Cenotaph; Last Post and Reveille; prayer for peace; National Anthem; benediction.

''At Home'' In Toronto Jty. Very early in life, he took a live interest in the work of the Meth- odist church, was a teacher in the Sunday School in his 'teens and Sup- erintendent of the school for over 40 years; for many years, too, he was a member of the Official Board, and recording secretary and treasurer ol the church for the long period of 30 years. At every General Confer- enice, from the earliest years of the local church, he was a representative and he was an active delegate in the General Conference that completed the union of the Methodist and Meth- odist Episcopal churches, held at Montreal in 1884. He was a pioneer in the county in Freemasonry, was a charter membei of Prince Arthur Lodge, No. 333, A. T. & A.M., Flesheffton, and was for many years Master of L.O.L. 244, Proton Station.. In all these offices Mr. Armstrong exemplified the highest type of na- tional and municipal patriotism, not did his labors of love for his fellows end here. From his youth onward he was identified with every organi- zation established for the promotion of temperance throughout the land and was a most helpful power in in- stilling into youthful minds the highest principles, moral and spirit- ual. As a lover of music, he gave powerful aid in the carrying out of the Christmas carols, for which the community was noted in earlier days. The family are as follows: Dr. George (deceased), married Ina Lazier of Belleville; Jennie (Mrs. J. D. Clarke) Weston; Lydia (Mrs. Thos. E. Aikenhead,) of Toronto; Adelaide (Mrs. F. H. W. Hickling).

These rallies are being sponsored by local Junior Farmer and U.F.Y.P.O.

These mee'iings are l>eing held foi the purpose of introducing the New Canada Movement to the farm young people of Grey, and will be addressed by a team of ten widely-known young farmers, representative of Western Ontario. For speaking purposes this team of ten will subdivide into little teams of two, permitting four or fivt meetings to be addressed per evening, until the entire series of nineteen has beea covered within the week. The New Canada Movement has al- ready assumed considerable propor- tions in that it has been widely en- dorsed by citizens of province-wide prominence and also scores of far- mers, clergymen, club and municipal officers of Grey County. These testi- monials are in writing and will be published shortly. They endorse the need, purpose and method of the Movement. They emphasize, first: that the Movement remain stead- fast in its aim of banding to- gether 100,000 farm young people pledged to discover and support ways of bringing a New and Better Can- ada. Second, that the .lovement re- main education/.l and non-partisan Third, that it is not a new organiza- tion' but simply a well-directed move- ment within existing organizations stimu'lating and co-ordinating their efforts at economic study.

Frame Barn Burned Fire completely destroyed a 45 x 55 frame barn on the fann owned by Mr. Alex. Miller, l':> miles north of Flesherton early Sunday evening. .Aibout 50 loads of hay were in the barn at the time, besides two im- plements and all were destroyed. The lire had gained considerable head- way before Mr. Miller discovered the blaze at about 8:15 p.m. and it was then shooting thi-ough the roof. The barn was situated on the north fifty acre farm, formerly owned by the late Wm. Davis and was of frame construction set on posts. Mr. Mill, er had completed boarding in tht lower sides around the posts, intend- ing to use it this winter for his sheep and other stock. He had been in the barn Sunday morning, but not in the evening and he had no idea how the fire had started, exceft by f traveller who had dropped a lighted match. In only a short time aftei the blaze was discovered the build- ing was razed to the ground. Grey County Leads In Farm Population More people are' supported on farms in Grey County than in any othei couT^ty in Ontario. The gross income of Grey County farms is greater than Ohat of any other county excepting ISork, where the production of milk for street sales in Toronto presumably swells the total. Per capita income from Grey County farms at $1,013 is far above the ptt^)vincial average of 1906. These facts are shown in a new vol- ume "The Canadian Income, Its Source, Distribution and Expendil- ture," which has been compiled by Major A. R. Lawrence of Toronto While the figures are i'or 1930, it is pointed out that the relative position of any district will not nave changed materially in the last three years. The decline in national income will have been reflected quickly ir. every area covered by the survey. There were shown to be 10,991 per- sons gainfully employed in agriculture in Grey. The net value of the pro- ducts was 111,140,000. No othei county exceeded $11,000,000 excepting York which boasted 13,820,000. Next' after Grey in numbers employed and gross return is Huron, with 10,552 workers and a net value of products of $10,980,000. The highest agri- culture per capita income is O.xford County, which is fortunate in having within its borders nearly a dozen con- densing, evaporating and milk powd- ering plants, and which also ships large quantities of milk for street sale in Toronto. Grey also bulks fairly large in manufacture, the number employed being 3,305. These were paid wages of $2,980,942, and the net value ot the products was $5,161,047. Total recorded income of the county was $23,993,955 for the 22,756 shown as gainfully employed. In addition tt this recorded income there was, how- ever, other incomes totalling $7,584,- 000, representing income from invest- ments, fees received by professional people, etc., so that the total county income was $31,577,955. This was 1.64 per cent, of the total income ol the Province of Ontario. Majoi Lawrence's volume also shows the in- come for every county, district oi census division in Canada. How did Grey spend its income? A. total of 35.4 per cent, went to i-etail establishments within the con- fines of the county, divided as foll- ows: To the automotive people, $3,191,- 000; for food, $2,363,000; for general merchandise, $2,108,000; for apparel $1,008,000; for lumber, $753,000; for furniture, $229,000; for food in rest- aurants, $145,000; and for miscellan- eous goods $1,802,000. For amuse- ments went $148,000; for cartage and storage, $23,000; for domestic ser- vices, $164,000; for professional ser- vices, $104,000; for repairs. $124,000; for transportation, $61,000; and foi other services, $78,000. This makes a total of $11,186,000 spent with meii-- chants and others in the county. Rural population is 37.409. and ur- ban population 20,290. There are about 1,800 more men than women and 325 more boys and girls in the schools. There "are 8,195 occupied farms. Passenger automobiles number 8.975 and trucks totalled 592. There were 6,395 users of electric power. Con- nected telephones were 8,973 and licensed radio sets totalled 3,856. "The cane will not make a boy learn quicker.'' But it will make him smart. One authority says fish are caught with bait and brains. But patience and luck also seem to have something to do with it. People who do nothing never get into trouble; neither do they get any- where.
