•1 .WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1D84 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Mr. Norman Huotwith of tho staft of the Canadian Bank of Commerce is hoIidayiuK at his home at Forest. A hinli school hockt'y team played in Duiidttlk Thursday and were swamp- ed with a C-1 score. Mr. and Mrs. Alf. Down and Miss Bessie Stewart spent the past couple of days in Toronto. Miss Jean Stuart, nurse in the Hos- pital for Sick Children, Toronto, if home at present nursing her mother who is ill. Principal C. R. Chappie is ill with an attack of pleurisy and is unable to take his classes in the public school. -. 'lie '8! Mrs. Geo. Goldsborough and two children returned on Monday afti;r spending a couple of weeks at St. Catharines. Mrs. E. Trenipe suffered a slight stroke at her home in town on Tues- day morning. We are pleased to know that at the present time she is resting comfortably. Mr. Chas. Best of Springhill has a cow that gave birth to twin calves last week. This is the second time that the animal has swelled the bovine population in this manner. The blacksmith shop owners reap- ed a harvest last week with the icy condition of the roads. It was im- possible for a team to travel without being sharp shod. During the past week we received two fine calendars, one from Burton E. Field of Burton E. Field and Co., customs brokers, of Toronto and the other from the Gazette Printing Co. of Montreal. Mrs. Herb Smith of Owen Sound suffered a couple of broken ribs and other injuries in a car accident on Sunday south of Chatsworth. Mr. and Mrs. Smith were on their way to Flc-sherton when the car skidded on the icy road and turned onto its side in the ditch. • . » The Advance is pleased to learn that Miss Agnes Macphail will this week be able to get outdoors and call on her friends. Miss 'Macphail un- derwent a serious operation in the Markdale hospital a few weeks ago and has been confined at her home ir Ceylon since she returned from the hospital before Christmas. Mail Came By Stage Before Railway Laid Camilla, a little centre six mile:: north of Orangeville, is to lose its post office, due to the shrinkage in population, and its residents will now lie served by a rural route. , At one time Ctimilla boasted a population .)f 150 |M.>ople, but now it comprises >nly about two dozen souls. Postmaster W. W. Trimble ol FU'sherton well rememblers , When t'amilla was a thriving community. Sixty-five years ago, when a young lad of 14 years, he drove the mail stage from Flesherton to Orangeville. At that time there was no railroad through to tiiat point in Dufferin county and all produce and goods had to be teamed from Brampton, through which a railway ran. Twice a week .Mr. Trimble made the trip south, on Mondays and Thursdays. Shelburne would be reached by noon and Orange- ville that night, the route going south from Shelburne and thence east to ('amilla on the Prince of .Wales road. Orangeville would be reached that night and the return journey would commence Tuesday and Friday morn- ings. At that time Wm. Lewis, later a conductor on the C.P.R., made the trip to Orangeville and Brampton and returned with the mail and freight. Dundalk had not then made its ap- pearance, only a few houses and a hotel at Mayburn's comer, now the Dundalk corner on Highway No. 10. '-•lelancthon and Corbetton were yet to be born, but the road from Flesh- erton southward was dotted every ftiw miles by small hotels, catering mainly to a thirsty public. At Shel- burne there was Berwick's store, Jelly's hotel, a blacksmith shop and a number of houses and at Orange- ville one of the hotels was run by John Whitt â€" , who later was host in Shelburne and Markdale, where he died. After Mr. Trimble arrived home he set out the next day, Wednesday and .Saturday for Cornibus (now Mark- dale) and Johntown (now Chats- worth.) The trip there and back was made in the one day. On one of the trips Mr. Trimble made to Orangeville he brought back two large safes to be used in Flesh- erton, one of them now being in use in his office. This was a heavy load to bring through on the roads which the residents enjoyed (?) at that time and he had to be pulled out of deep holes several times with an extra team. Other merchandise carried during those years were two and five gallon \iegs of "fire water" for dis- tribution in the settlements, as this district was known at that period. Afterwards Mr. Trimble drove the stage from Flesherton to Durham, be- fore the AValkerton branch of the C. P.ii. was built, and also made tripe to Collingwood for merchandise. It was through the latter town the people of Osprey atid Artemesia received most of their goods. Mr. Trimble has been postmastei of Flesherton for 24 years, taking it over from the late K. J. .Sproule, jusi prior to the great fire when the large frame Sproule block was burn- ed. Since then he has been givin,* faithful service to this community and although advancing in years he is just as spry and efficient as hi was ten years ago and appears a.« though he will enjoy many more years dispensing mail every day tc the eager patrons. Hockey Schedule Chatsworth has entered a senioi team in the Northern Hockey League and is grouped with Flesherton. A double .schedule of home and home games will be played, with Chats worth playing the first game in Flesh- erton this Friday evening and tht second game Friday of next week Following is the schedule: ChaUworth at Fleshertonâ€" Friday Jan. 12. Flesherton at Chatsworthâ€" Monday Jan. l5. Chatsworth at Fleshertonâ€" Friday Jan. 19. Flesherton at Chatsworth â€" Monday Jan. 22. Games are to count on the round not points as in the O.K. A. "Something For Nothing" Was Not In His Line One day last week, Jack Simpson the Fergus lacrosse player, got sonv new five dollar bills from the bank He did not notice that two of them had become stuck together, and so paid the two over to ,W. J. Taylor, of Grand Valley, instead of five dol- lars 'vhich he intended to give. Mr. Taylor v/as paying over money to somebody else when he noticed that he had two bills instead of one, sc he considered where he might havt obtained the extra five, and returned it with a letter, saying: "I have not been used to taking something foi nothing, so here it is." A lot o^ other people would be better off il they could pick up that same wise philosophy. i;iK STOBB WTTH SEBVICH F. T. HILL&CO.,Ltd.

Raisins for 21o Less Motor Vebicle Accidents In Ontario MULCHING STRAWBERRIES The Department of Public High- ways in its most recent bulletin gives some interesting figures respecting motor vehicle accidents in Ontario during the first ten months of 1933. The number of deaths in that time totalled 330, which is 88 less than the average for the same period of the last six years, and 30 less than in that iHsriod of 1927, despite the fact that there were approximately 100,000 fewer motor vehicles registered ir. that year than in 1933. Motor accidents reported to the end of Octoiber, which numbered 7,125 resulted in injury to 6,6l2 persons and property damage of $636,513. Dc i-reases of 69 fatalities, 356 accidents, 263 in the number of non-fatal injur- ies, and of $145,627 in the amount of preperty damage, were noted when compared with the totals of the cor- respondin^j period of 1932. I.T commenting on those statistics the Department points out that when a driver of a motor vehicle become-:- involved in an accident, apparently his first thought is to find an alibi which he hopes will relieve him of resnonsibility. If there is another car niiplicated, he is more than likely to blame the other driver, and if the blame cannot be placed there, or there is no poor pedestrian to blame, a puncture or a blow-out is too fre- quently given as the cause of the accident. Actually, however, the great major- ity of accidents are the result ol improper human actions, as few can be attributed to the condition of the roads, the weather, traffic or vehicle or to other circumstanoesi usually manifest if the driver is aware of his responsibility. The fact that motor vehicle accidents become proportion- ately more frequent, though less se^ vere, when driving conditions are less favorable, indicates that drivers can be more careful when conditions de- mand it. The figures prove con- clusively that the loss of life due to motor vehicle accidents is far greater than it should be, and that only by the exercise of greater vigilance, the taking of more care can there hope to be a reduction. DOCTORS' C.iR .NLMBER.S LETTERED ALIKE HOME GROWN GRAINS FOR THE LAYING FLOCK The foUow'ing ration ifor !t»ying pullets, composed mosty of home grown grains, is recommended by the Poultry Division of the Dominion Ex- perimental Farms: Mash â€" 2 parts o ground wheat, 1 part of ground oats. I part ground ibarley or corn, li, part of ground beef and fish scrap, 2 per cent of bone meal, 2 per cent cod liver oil, and 1 per cent salt; scratch grain â€" 2 part.s of wheat, 1 part oats. 1 part corn or buckwheat, 1 part 'bar- ley. This ration may be varied ac cording to what grains the farmei has available. In many districts it is the practice to mulch strawberry plantations with rye straw which, as it is harvesteo early, is very free from weed se«di and this is a very important feature where it is the custom to take future! crops from the plantation. If manure | is used, care should be exercised in ^ order that none will come in contact with the crown of the plant. Mulch aa soon as the ground is frozen hard enough to carry a wagon, for much damage may be caused by alternate freezing and thawing. Dr. F. C. Neal, of Peterborough, president of the Ontario Medical As- sociation, has announced that the On- tario Department of Highways had granted the request of the medical men for the same serial number in all motor car licenses and hence in 1934 the Ontario doctors' license numbers will start with the letter "D." The markers are made at the Ontario Re- formatory. Yes, money talks; usually long enough to say good-by. **Never mindâ€" we'll soon fix that 9>= A QUEER QUESTION A machinery company in the Qua- ker City, Philadelphia, in looking albout for a factory location in Canada wrote to the Emira Chamber of Com- ;iicn"c nbout the prospects there. For one thing it wanted to know how Sunday was observed in Klmira, es- pecially by the working mn. This stumped th Secretary. He was at a loss to know why such a question was asked and did not really know how Sundny was observed by the workingman. However, the ques- tion was prabably quite a simple and strious one. It would make a diff- erence with the executive of the company if it knew whether Sunday was observed quietly and religiously, or if it were desecrated and the woVk ingman's energies were dissipated by drinking, dacning, dramatizing, sport- ing, labor union meetings, or even mere frivolities. The character of the workingmen would be important and Sabbath oibscrvancc would be a pretty good test. People from the Quaker City might have a preference for Quaker piety. Ton much contentment is as bad as too little. The old family wallet is reported an being 0^)10 to sit up now and take a little nouriahmt-nt â€" if it can get it Should a wife not be suspicious when her husband bought her silk ttockings at Christmas which were a couple of 8i«es too small? Farmer is Alberta trains wolves to draw pack sleds and then sells the animals to the moving picture in dustry. Cetting rid of the wiilves in that \»-«y helps him keep them from his door. .\ child horn at Milwaukee has eight tooth and four molar roots That hardly seem.s fair, as there arc a goo<l many adults who have to get along with less equipment. For 30 cents yoa can telephone about 100 miles by making an "any- one" call (statioo- to-station) after 8.30 ojn. See list of rates In fiom of directory. Mrs. Hendry was in great dis- tress. She had broken her spec- tacles and the prescription was at the optician's in the city. "That means I can't go to the social tomorrow night," she said. "Whatever will I do?" •"Don't worry," Tom - Hendry consoled her. "I'll just 'phone the optician right now and he can have a new pair here in to- morrow's mail." In any emergency, great or small, your telephone is ready to help. Long Distance is easy to use, clear, quick and surprisingly in- expensive. ♦♦oo»»»»o»»»»»»»»»«*'»»»»»»»»»»*»o»» ♦»»»♦»♦»• » »»<>♦»»â- Â»â™¦Â» Small Advts. ♦♦»♦»»» »0'»o»«'»»»»»»o»»»o«»»»»»»»»»»»»»»fr»e>»»»»»»»»»»» For Sale SLEIGHS FOR SALE Set of heavy logging sleighs. â€" Ev- erett Blackburn, Flesherton.
