We extend our profound sympathy to Miss Agnes Macphail and sisters in their sad bereavement by the death of their beloved mother. The Fenwick family, we understand, are moving to a residence at East Lin- ton. We are very sorry to lose them from our vicinity and wish them every success in their new home. There was quite a good crowd to hear Mr. Farquahar Oliver's address in the hall here one night recently. We noticed in last week's issue of the Advance that one correspondent stated that there was no paralysis â-  nearer than Eugeitia. There are no | ca.ses of the disease in our locality as | yet and we sincerely hope that there j will not be. home in Detroit. Miss Bemic« English of Nottawa, spent a few days this week with her sister, Mrs. A. Mullin. Mr. T. J.

ALEX. McKEE OF DLXDALK DEAD I A lifelong resident of Dundalk dis- â-  trict, a well-known and highly respect- ed citizen of Dundalk, passed away ! early Saturday morning, in the person of Mrs. Alex. McKee. Deceased, whose maiden name was Fannie N'eithercut and who was in her 79th year, was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Neithercut, pioneers of Melancthon Township. She had resided in Dundalk for the past fifteen years, moving here from Melancthon. The late Mrs. McKee leaves to mourn her passing one son, Bert, of Fort William, and three daughters, Mrs. Herbert Reid of Viceroy, Sask., Mrs. Herbert Corbett of Proton Sta- tion and Miss Luella McKee of Fort William. Her husband predeceased her five years ago. There also sur- vive three brothers, Joseph and Rich- ard in Melancthon and John of Flint Mich., and one sister, Mrs. John Good- fellow of Presque Isle.

LOST IN SWAMP ALCnON SALE -Auction sale on Wednesday, Oct. 13, 1937 at lot 133-34, Artemesia, 2 miles north of Flesherton on No. 10 Highway. D. J. Alcox. Proprietor; Geo. Duncan, Auctioneer. Mr. Harold Wallace of Kimberley and his two sons, aged about 5 and 6 years, became lost in the deep swamp north of Kimberley late Tuesday afternoon. When they failed to re- I turn home at dark the alarm was I raised and an intensive search was ' made by over one hundred of the cit- izens of that district. They were found about 3 a.m. Wednesday morn- ing, protected as much as possible from the wind and sold by the roots of a large stump. The little lads had become cold and Mr. Wallace had wrapped his coat around them and otherwise kept them warm. It was a harrowing experience for Mr. Wal- lace but it is gratifying that the out- come of their becoming lost was noi more serious.

A vote for a Liberal candidate is a vote for Unemployment Insurance. Vote for Low Hydro Rates Hepburn brought down Hydro Rates, saving consumers S4.800,0O0. Vote to keep Hydro from being loaded up with costly power from the Quebec ^^ Power Barons. ^^ Vote for the ** Treasure Hunt" to Continue Hepburn has already uncovered a treasure ef 28 miIli*Mis hidden away in inhecit-ance taxes oa under-valued estates. Vote to «ondnue the huac. I Vote Your Approval of Lower Auto Fees Hepburn has cut S3 otiE the cost of motor license fees. \'otc Liberal and j^ show your approval. W^ Vote Liberal And Keep The Old Henry Gang Out TT'S all right to let Earl Rowe kid himself that he is •*' steering and running the Conservatives, but the electors don't want to let Mr. Rowe kid them into believing that he is leading a new, clean, thoroughly purged Conserv ative party. The same "old Henry gang" is managing the Rowe boat. The "old Henry gang" think that they were beaten by "some mistake" in 1934. On Wednesday, October 6th, show them that it was no mistake, but that you were in deadly earnest when you voted them out and that you want them even less today. Hepburn's Social Legislation Proves He Is "a Man With a Heart am Vote for Lower Taxes Hepburn's desire to help the taxpayer was shown by the one-mill special •.ubsidy he made to municipalities to be passed on to the taxpayer. Hep- j^ burn is die taxpayer'^ Proven Friend. ^"^ "D V his deeds. Mr. Hepburn has shown ^-^ he has the interests of the masses at heart. His goveriviient has assumed the full cost of Mothers' Allowances. A mother with one child is now entitled to an allow- ance, a right denied her by the former Con- servative government. Under Mr. Hepburn, the government as- f> sumed the municipalities' share of Old .Age Pensions. It established Pensions for the Blind. It abolished Students" E.xamination Fees. It cancelled the Amusement Tax so that people are no longer penalized for enjoying themsehes at theatres, concerts and games. Hepburn Benefits Labour Vote for Debt Reduction Hepburn, by sound financing and good government, reduced Ontario's Public Debt by 33 million dollars last year. Vote for further reductions. HEPBURN has shown true friendship for the workingman, with advanced labour legislation â€" Minimum wages for men as well as women, an Industrial Stan- dards Act providing codes by agreement be- tween employees and employers and already improving conditions for 75,000 workers; and the creation of the Industry and Labour Board. .\nother evidence of Mr. Hepburn's friend- ship for labour is his promise, if re-elected, to enact legislation to provide Unemploy- ment Insurance, and Mr. Hepburn miikes good on his promises. Vote for Courageous Administration Hepburn has not been afraid to stand up against the Lewis crowd, the Que- bec Power Barons, the financial ring. Ontario needs a courageous Premier in times like these. Vote for lower interest rates. Hepburn Takes Liquor Out of Politics Vote for More « Sunshine'* Budgets Hepburn's last budget, Tvith its nine- million surplus and its ta.v reduction accomplishments, has become popu- lary known as the "Sunshine" Budget. Vote for a continuation of these "Sun- ^^ shine" Budgets. ^^L HEPBURN'S proposed Board of Three â€" a Judge, a Liberal, a Conservative â€" is the sanest, soundest, most constructive plan for removing liquor from politics that has yet been devised. In respect to beverage rooms the Hepburn Government stands for the principle of IiKal option. It is up to the municipality to decide for itself whether it wishes to be "wet" or "dry". That's British fair play. Hepburn prevented the sale of liquor in restaurants. On its record of successful administration during its first term in office, the Hepburn Government deserves to be returned to power â€" deserves the support and the vote of all fair-minded people. Do your part to assure Ontario a contin- uance of good government for another term by voting for the Hepburn candidate in your tiding. ^^^ . ,,*^v ?-----• js-w^ ^ VOTE LIBERAL Issued by the Ontario Liberal Association
