H THURSTON & SON, Proprietor« w Leaving For Scotland Mr. and Mrs. Sam McDonald leave on Sunday next for Glasgow, Scotland, where they will spend the next year. Sam was successful in being placed on the teachers' exchange and will teach in one of the Glasgow schools for the next year. They are sailing on the Duchess of Bedford from Montreal. Sam is keeping in touch with his home community through The Advance. We hope to have some letters from him on various subjects for our readers. Struck By Car An unfortunate car accident oc- curred on the Coliingwood gravel on Monday, when Mrs. Jack Hutchinson, sister of Mr. W. J. Chard, was struck by and knocked down by u car driven by Mr. Norman Stoddart of Flesher- ton. Mrs. Hutchinson was walking from behind the Chard car at the roadside to cross the road in order to get the mail from the box and had her hat caught by her hand as there was a high wind at the time, and did not see the car approaching. As she came from behind the car Mr. Stod- dart saw her but not in time to avert an accident. Mrs. Hutchinson was severely bruised and shaken up, but fortunately no bones were broken. She is resting and recovering at the home of her brother. Mr. Stoddart had a cut on his arm but escaped other injury. His car was not over- turned and beyond a slightly bent fender, required no repairs. Mrs. Hutchinson resides in Saskatchewan and is on a visit East. Dr. McArthur Leaves Field To F. R. Uliver A straight fight between the U.FO. and Conservative parties is now an assured fact, when Dt. J. A. Mc- Arthur of Markdale withdrew from the field on Monday and left the fiuld open to Farquhar Oliver, the present sitting member, and Dr. Brad Jamieson of Durham, who received the Conservative nomination some time ago. Dr. McArthur's action was due to the support given the Liberal government by Mr. Oliver, who was the lone U.F.O. member in the House. The nominating conven- tion for the U.F.O. group will be held at Durham on Friday, Augfust 27th, but it is not expected that any other name than Mr. Oliver's will be ad- vanced. It is expected that the eleo- tion will be held some time around the I9th of October, but there has not been any official announcement of th* same. Slot Machine Tax Paid At the last meeting of the village council a tax of $200.00 was levied against slot machines in Flesherton. There were three of these machines in operation here and on Friday the tax on one was paid, with the others being returned to their owners. Hydro For Osprey Is Expected Shortly i A determined effort is being made I to take Hydro power into Osprey I township to supply Maxwell, Pever- 1 sham and the farmers along the Col- I lingwood gravel road. Already four- : teen farmers have signed and seven- teen prospective users in Maxwell and Feversham. With the low rates now in force Hydro is being extended to take in many outlying places, and it will be a splendid chance for the farmers to enjoy the benfits of Hydro and place the old coal oil lamp in storage. It is to be hoped that the present movement is successful in placing Hydro within the reach of Osprey residents. Artemesia Council Council met at Flesherton on the S)th day of August, with all members present and the Reeve in the chair. The minutes of last meeting were read and on motion carried.

Middle School Results Flesherton, Feversham (By Alex. Sim) The crest of Alberta, you will re- member, is the cross of St. George with a wheat field beneath, backed by a range of mountains with a log cabin in the background. It is a good pic- ture of .Alberta, for though the foot- hills and mountains may dominate the architecture of the landscape, agricul- ture is the foundation of the economic ^yslem. The entire population, total- ling less than the city of Montreal, is largely rural, although it has many thriving cities. Enough of that.

A quiet but pretty wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Acheson of Inistioge on Saturday, August 14th, at 2.30 p.m., when their daughter, Sylvia Emily, became the bride of William Gordon Acheson, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Acheson of Proton Station. Rev. W. G. Prosser, B.A., of Corbetton, brother-in-law of the groom, officiated. Mrs. Earl Walton, sister of the brido, played the wedding march. The bride, who was given in mar- riage by her father, was lovely in a gown of white chiffon and lace. She wore the conventional wedding veil and carried a bouquet of roses. Her little niece, Mary Walton, was a pretty flower girl, dressed in pink georgette and cariied a basket of sweet peas. .'Vfter the reception which followed, a dainty meal was served in the dining room. Mr. and Mrs. Acheson left on a mot- or trip north. The bride travelled in a green knitted suit with a green hat and red fox cape. On their return they will reside on the groom's farm near Proton Station. COLGAN _ HIBBERT I Bell & Bennett Bennett & Richards • ; On Saturday, .August 7th. Ella Vesta, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hibhert of Dundalk to Mr. William John Colgan. eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Colgnn of Mark- dale, the marriage ceremony being performed by Rev. D. B. Gordon. We j offer congratulations and best wishes i to Jack and his bride. They en.joyed a honeymoon trip to Halifax. the first time, if the Hamilton moun- tain and the Blue Mountains of Col- iingwood can be discounted. Then we reached the most northerly point of our trip. Sleeping under the stars almost six hundred miles north of our homes on the Old Ontario Strand, we agreed that w<> had never seen a more dazzling spectacle than the Northern Lights. Edmonton â€" Seat uf Social Credit Before recounting our encounter with Mr. Aberhart, let we describe the attitude of the people to Social Credit. You know the old belief that certain types of foam on tea will bring good fortune. Nobody will admit they be- lieve it, yet most people try to get it out on a spoon. Just in case. When we inspected the Alberta As- sembly the guide showed us the im- mense seating of the Social Credit party, with five lonely seats for the opposition â€" the quintuplets they are called. Yet few will admit they voted Social Credit today. No ntan in public life has been more abused than Mr. Aberhart â€" Abie they call him, or worse. The press disapproves almost universally. The script issued, last winter is almost worthless. In all our travel we have met only two staunch supporters of the government. The one Moron in the south, the other a tourist. "Social Credit may be kill- ed by big interests," he said, ''but if it is, it will be the irreparable loss, not only of Alberta, but of the whole world." Yet the government en.joys. in spite of all this, enough confidence from the people that they maintain office, and by admission of its worst enemies, would probably be returned to power if an immediate election were called. What is the reason? The people hate to admit that the.v wei'e fooled. Perhaps But more than this, they like the idea of $25 a month. Who wouldn't? In addition, the people are e.xtremely well informed on . conomic matters, they think they have a .solution. The Wise Men in the East say "No.'' A little know- ledge is a dangerous thing, perhaps these farmers, and tradesmen, know too little to change capitalism. We sought Mr. .\berhart to question him. Each man behind a pillar at the provincial capital, awaited his arrival. He arrived at ten, a late hour to start (he day, methinks, and we swooped down on the astonished premier. Caesar could not have looked more astonished when confronted by the conspirators of the ancient cToital. Fle posed for a picture, but declined !in interview.

Bbsted Stump in Park The Otter Creek flour mill, one of the landmarks of Bruce County, was threatened with destruction by fire during a thunder storm one day last week. .A neighbor saw a bolt of lightning strike the mill and immed- iately gave the alarm. .Almost two hours were spent in fighting by neigh- boring farmers who formed a bucket brigade and successfmlly fought the blaze. The mill is owned by Mr. R. .1. Morrison, son of Mr. and Mrs. .Angus Morrison of Maxwell. The Walkerton Herald-Times states that to extinguish a blaze kindled by lightning is a rarity and it is due to the prompt :irrival of assistance and the elTective work of the hastily formed bucket bri- irade that the far-fumed Otter Creek mill still adorns the landscape in Cai-rick. The reason why strained vegetable juices ai'e good for young childi'en is that they aren't big enough to defend themselves. 'tig method to me. The farm is not fenced, as in the East, but is planted in twenty rod strips, usually a mile lung. These strips alternate crop and summer fallow, but double disc it, niiiking a trash cover which helps to preserve the inoisture. My space is gone so my story of the mountains must wait a w«ek. Considerable blasting was heard in town last week when an old beech stump was being dislodged from its almo 1 impregnable position in Mem- orial I'ark. the site for the soldiers' memorial. This stump was from the beech tree famed in the history of the late Jo.<. Clark. It was a strange co-iiicidtnee that %he t^id of both should ci/iiie in the same year. It took .51 ;licUs of dynamite and 30 pounds >>f blasting powder to dislodge the slump sufficiently in order for it to l)e removed. While care was taken a number of pains of glass were brok- en in near-by dwellings. Work on the e.xeavation of the foundation for the memorial coninicnced on Monday .mil the unveiling will be held Labor Day. September Glh.
