* i % THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE \\\-clnes(lay, April 28, 1937 ^â- - tv. « * PRICEVILLE Xlie April meeting of St. Columba "W. M. S. and W. A. was held on April 21st at the home of Mrs. J. C. Harrison, because of the storm only 12 were present. Mrs. Ritchie pre- •ided and led in a short worship ser- vice. Mrs, McKinnon read of pro- gress being made in the cause of Temperance in our province. Miss L. Mather gave an interesting study of phases of our foreign missions. Plans were made to contribute cloth- ing for a .small boy, through the an ROCK MILLS Quite a number from here attended the presentation for Rev. Mr. Wol- stencroft, wife and family which took place at the parsonage on Friday night, when they were presented with a purse of money. A short program was given after which lunch was ser- ved. Altogether a very pleasant even- ing was spent by all present. Mrs. Harry Patton and daughter Edna, and Mrs. Croft and son Glen were in Owen Sound on Saturday for the wedding of the former's daugh- ter. Miss Marguerite Croft, to Mr. Sensabaugh. A host of EUGENIA nual W. M. S. bale. Quilts are also i Qj,^pjgg being made and donations of good | ^_ .^,^^,^ ^^.^^^ ^^^^.^ ^^^^_^^j congratula tions to the young couple used clothing are asked for. During the W. A. part of the meeting, Miss Edith James was in the chair, and general business was discussed. It was decided to invite a group from a neighboring centre to put on a play j early in May. This will be announced i later. Mrs. McBride invited the soc- ' iety to her home for the May meet- ' ing. A dainty lunch was afterwards served by the hostess and assistants. The home of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. McLean was brightened last week end by a visit from their sons, Alex, and Innis, from Toronto, and their daugh- ter-in-law, Allan McLean and little boy. The Sacrament of the Lord's Sup- per will be held on May the 2nd, in St, Columba Church. A good tur» out is expected as usual. The continued five days south east â- wind has had the effect of drying "the roads very well, until the end of the week, then rain again. Electric light wiring has been com- pleted by Mr. Chas. Saunders of Dur- ham (an expert in his line), of the fine house of the Misses James. The climbing of poles by him, is all that is now necessary, when erected. The recent wind storm made nec- essary to hunt in the dark for the old coal oil lamp, when the lights went out. No easy job. Tommy: '.Pop, what's a kanga- roo?" Papa: "Just an attempt of nature to produce a safe pedestrian." Mussolini is reported to have can- celled a football match which was to have been played between Italian and French teams in France. Presum- ably the Duce wants to do all the kicking himself. Mr. and Mrs. Dick Clark were re- cent visitors in Owen Sound. The backward weather has hind- ered the farmei's from getting on the land and seeding will be very late. Rev. J. R. Wolstencroft preached his farewell sermon here on Sunday afternoon. We wish him every success in his new field of labor to which he is going. Mr. Alex. Laughlin visited recently with Maxwell friends. The Ladies' Aid held their April meeting at the home of Mrs. Walter Russell on Wednesday afternoon of last week. EAST MOUNTAIN (Last week's Items) So far the maple syrup is not very plentiful, but we hope there will be a few runs anyway. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ellis and babe of Kimberley spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. S. Smart. Mr. and Mrs. A. Fawcett, Irene and Vernon of Kimberley w^ere Sunday visitors with Mr. and Mrs. G. McMul- len. Little 'Mliss Eleanor McMullen returned with them for a few days. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Welsh of Dun- can were recent visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Morris Welsh and family. The sympathy of this community goes to Mrs. Tom Hawkinsi and fam- ily in their recent sad bereavement. Mr, and Mrs. Archie McKechnie and two boys of Priceville were Sunday visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Dave Genoe, So many people in the world of today seem to think that it is shove, not love, that makes the world go 'round. fi fi ii ill it 1 1 * * • * â-  * p * • Grey County Festival of Music * Will Be Held at Owen Sound on I Tues., Wed., Thurs., May 25, 26, 27, 1937 | Music Teadhers!

Tile high winds last week felled the big spruce tree on No. 10 High- way across from the school corner. Under this tree and its mate, which suffered a similar fate in years gone by the pupils of S. S. No. 4 played fought or waited for teacher, to see who could first catch her hand and walk to school with her. From its trunk many a chew of gum has been cut, to later be deposited in the stove by the teacher's heartless command. If trees such as these could write books, they could tell of the childish ambitions which were devulged be- neath its branches. Many a grrey headed man or woman who played there as a child has passed on and the tree still stood. But now the pupils of S. S. No. 4 will know it no more. Last Tuesday evening, Chas. Moore and son Ted, were trying to start their car, the vacuum tank was emp- ty and not having any extra gas, they attempted to draw it out of the supply tank. Tied was on his back under the car when a half gallon can be- came full, Chas. reached over and pulled the hose away, spilling eras as it went. As it passed a lighted lantern, flames shot out, igniting the gas which had been spilled. Ted managed to roll out of the garage with his right arm on fire. Charlie had to rush through the flames to get out. But luckily no gas could nave been spilled on his clothes. He .smothered the flames on Ted's arm with his overcoat, but not before it was ((Uito seriously burned. All this time the flames weer burning moi-- rily aroiuid the car. The half gal- lon of gas was upset and burning. It looked wild for some time, hut was eventually smothered out with wet rags. That more damage was not done isi a miracle as the tires were flaming, the back of the car is char- red and even the hose going into the gas tank was badly charred.
