Wednesday, May 17, 1936 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE EUGENIA Rev. Mr. Bushell preached a fine aermon on Sunday, very appropriate for Victoria Day. He talked on Queen Jezebel, the queen who possessed such evil qualities and Queen Esther who had all the qualities of a good queen. He spoke in high reverence of Queen Victoria, whose birthday we com- memorate each year and which hap- pened to fall on Sunday this year, He told of how at the age of 12 years she said, "I will be good" aiid when she became queen at the age of 18 •he said "Pray for me." He tried to impress on the minds of the girls, â- what a good example Queen Victoria was in regards to a Christian char- acter, and any girl taking her as an ideal could not go astray, but be- come mote queenly and good. The regular meeting of the W. A. was held in the church on Thursday of \Tf.t week. There was a good at- tendance, as it was "Grandmother's Day." The W. A. decided to hold a garden party on July 7th, a mixed program to be prepared by an ap- pointed committee. Letters «f com- munication were read. After the business part of the meeting a pro- gram followed, which consisted of: A reading by Mrs. C. Turner, a couple of contests, one of which consisted of a number of the grandmother's pic- tures in their girlhood days. It was quite puzzling to gue.ss some of them. There was a trio with guitar accom- paniment by Miss Dinsmore, Hazel Turner and Evelyn Campbell and Ida Benson. Mrs. C. Smith gave a mus- ical selection on the organ. Quite a number who were not grandmothers were attired in grandmother's cos- tumes of years ago. Mrs. G. C. Gra- ham presented the oldest grand- mother, Mrs. Adam Smith with a pretty bouquet of tulips. After the program a dainty supper was served in the basement of the church. There was no Y.P.S. meeting on Wednesday of last week as the cit- izenship convenor was absent. This was a disappointment as several mem- bers were present. Miss Donalda Sloan was home from her school near Ayton over the week end.

Fallacy of Worn Tires The fallacy of using weak or won» tires on motor cars was proven by- two accidents from this cause recent- ly reported in the same issue of the Flesherton Advance. In one instance a tire blew out when the car was ajK preaching a culvert on the highway and the car crashed into the end of it,. injuring the driver and three passeng- ers more or less severely. In the sec- ond instance a blowout occurred as- two cars were meeting and one car was drawn over into the path of tha- other, despite the best efforts of the driver to prevent a crash. In this accident no one was seriously injured but the cars were considerably dam- aged. Had the tires been strong on these cars no accident would have occurred. A motorist owes it to him- self, his family and the other fellow to have strong tires and his car in the best mechanical condition pre- pared to meet emergencies. â€" Dun- dalk Herald.
