Robert Richardson Died on Thursday The mother laid to rest on Wednes- day of last week, the father on Satur- day,such is the sad record of death which the Advance has to chronicle this week. Mr. Robert Richardson, whom We mentioned as being ill at the time of Mrs. Richardson's death, continued to grow worse, notwith- standing that oxygen was used to en- deavor to prolong his life, until Thur- sday at 2 o'clock A. M. when the spir- it took its flight. The deceased gent- leman is sincerely mourned by a large circle of friends and neighbours. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon last from his late residence, where a large number attended to pay their respects to one whom they loved and respected for his many high qual- ities. His pastor, Rev. G. R. Sen.'ice, of St. John's United Church paid very high tribute to Mr. Richardson as a church worker. He took his text, af- ter reading the 121st and 130th psalm, from Job first chapter and latter half of the 21st verse: "The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." During the <ei-vice the pastor sang very fittingly Bishop Bickerstith's beautiful hymn "Peace, Perfect Peace.'' The floral offerings consisted of a pillow^ from the son and family; sprays from the Wilson family; from the neighbours: from the Agricultural Society; and from the official board of St. John's United Church. Friends from a distance were: Mrs. Doville of Rochester, N. Y.; Mrs. W. Guest and Miss Annie Richardson of Brownville Junction, Maine; Mrs. J. Richardson, Mrs. Fairey, Mr. and Mrs- Campbell, Mrs. Wm. Jackson, all of Toronto; Mrs. Reg. Mann of Owen Sound and Mr. Wm. Yeodell. Rocklyn. The pallbearers were Messrs. Em- erson Wickens, Thomas Sled, Jacob Lever, John Stewart, Thomas Fisher and George Cairns.. The flower bearers were J. Brackenbury, Wilfred Lever, Harold Lever, Gordon Long and Mervyn McFadden. The deceased gentleman was 54 .years of age, having been born at Streetsville on March 24, 1884, and moved with his parents to Artemesia Warden of Gre . County For 1938 H. A.

GOOD JUNIOR TEAM Mr. Phillip KcUey of Goderich, for- merly of Markdale, was a visitor in town on Saturday evening and we were pleased to see him again. Phil informs us that he has one of the best junior hockey teams in western Ontario and looks for them to win the W.O.H.A. junior honors. So far they have won eight straight games with- out a loss. We hope that they do bring the honors to their home town, Phil, and justify the faith you have in them. to the village. 27 years ago he marr ied Elizabeth Pritchard of Vandeleur and took up their residence a mile north of Flesherton. There was a family of one son, Harold, who lives on the home place with his wife and three children, to whom the loss of both father, grandmother and grand- father has been a severe blow and has enlisted the sympathy of very many neighbors and friends. Surviving are one brother, William, of Winnipeg; four sisters â€" Mrs. T. Mann of Owen Sound, Mrs. Guest (Lucy) and Miss .A.nnie Richardson of Maine, and Mrs. Doville (Minnie) of Rochester, N. Y. The deceased gentleman was active in many local affairs including the .Agricultural Society, was a member of the school board, a member of Flesherton L.O.L. No. 2855. In church work he had held all the offices possible and was an elder at the time of his death. We join with his host of friends in extending very great sympathy to the bereaved ones. He was a man whose vision saw "Ser- mons in stones, books in the running brooks, and God in everything." Who could have been a better legacy to the world? Instead of more people to the square mile, the w^orld needs more j square people per mile. .»»»»»»i»<i < i t i|i»<ii H"H"t"l '*'>**' K"i"t"I '' H '****'>*******t**' M ***» and from F. G.

Not a holi- Toronto Banquet Largely Attended Toronto-Flesherton Old Boys' and Girls' Association held their annual reunion at the Victoria Hotel, Toron- to, on Friday evening last, when 17 Flesherton people motored down to the city and joined in the fun. The event took the form of a turkey sup- per, pictures and get-together of old friends, and was one of the most suc- cessful ever held, and was thoroughly enjoyed by over one hundred present. After the tables had been cleared away Mr. Jack Latimer, the President, welcomed the guests and members in a neat speech, expressing his extreme satisfaction at the fine attendance from both the city and home town. He also referred in feeling terms to the serious losses sustained by the nLembership in the past year, the honor roll including Dr. E. K. Rich- ardson, Dr. R. H. Henderson, J. T. Clark and W. H. Fenwick. The first toast of the evening was proposed by the past President, C. E. McTavish of Oshawa, "The Old Home Town," and replied to by G. B. Wel- ton, and Hon. I. B. Lucas, who gave one of his jolly speeches. Mr. J. .A. LeGard proposed "Our Visitors," which was responded to by Mr. G. .A. McTavish, President of the Flesher- ton organization, in a speech that was well received. Controller W. J. Wads- worth of Toronto, an old boy of whom Flesherton and district is justly proud, proposed a toast to "The Ladies," which was responded to by one of oujr most highly esteemed and capable "girls." Mrs. R. Maddocks, formerly Miss Bates, who gave her hearers much to think about. At this point Mr. Latimer came to our table and in a very flattering speech said that he understood that the occasion marked the 54th anniver- sary of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Thurs- ton's wedding day, and the organiza- tion wished to take cognizance of this fact. He, therefore, had the pleasure in presenting to the bride a most beautiful bouquet of red roses. Mr. and -Vlrs. Thurston were very much taken by surprise, but managed to stammer out a few words of grateful appreciation for the beautiful gift. Publicly we now wish to thank the executive, Mr. Latimer and the effic- ient secretary, Mr. Burton Field, for this evidence of their valued friend- ship. Then came the great pleasure of the evening, an exhibition of Canadian scenery loaned by the C.P.R. This included many views of fishing and boating on the French River, and western scenery from Calgary to Ed- monton through the Rockies. The ski-ing scenes in the Rockies were especially fine and quite thrilled the audience. -After these fine pictures Mr. Wm Frye once more gave his moving pictures of the celebration held in Flesherton in 1929. It was rather saddening, in a way. because some of the dear friends shown in this picture have passed on to their reward. After another half hour of happy mingling the jolly meeting broke up a little before midnight. The affair was reckoned as one of the best in the .Association's history. .Among those who attended from Flesherton were: Mr. and Mrs. Geo. McTavish. Mr. and Mrs. B. Welton. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Duncan, Mr. an<i Mrs. Edgar Betts, Mr. and Mrs. W. Hi- Thurston. Mr. B. Sp.Mrks. Messrs. .A. Stewart, Jos. Field. H. LeGard. Mrs. W. Moore. Mrs. T. Brady and Mrs. Chas. Perigo.

Tourists traffic is also an important factor, as the natur- al surroundings of the district are ideal for both summer and winter sports, and as Grey County is after ae much tourist trade as it can se- •ure this district is an important Hnk in the natural attractions offered. In order to obtain funds to carry on an educational program a membership list was opened and any person wish- ing to join the .Association to assist in furthering the campaign may join by paying whatever fee they feel able to donate. -A committee will approach the Grey County Road Committee at the session in Owen Sound this week to put the proposition before them, when it is hoped that some action will shortly be taken in commencing the improvement of the road.

HE GOT THERE i|i^i|,^ day until Good Friday, April 15th. itario! Up in Bruce, says Hugh Teraplin in the Fergus News-Record, they're tell- ing a story about the two political candidates at the recent election. It is probably an old, old story, but most good ones are that anyway. In this case, it seems the two men were going down the concession line on the same day, but the Liberal had a head- start and the Conservative soon found he was following in the trail of the other man. .At one house he gave the little girl a quarter, but the youngster said: "Mr. S. was here this morning and gave me 50 cents." That was embarrassing, so at the next house he tried rather different tactics. The little girl was a rather pretty young and the candidate took her up in his arms and kissed her only to be told that: "Mr. S. was here this morning and he kissed mother." No wonder the Liberals made such clean sweep of that comer of On- I SUPERIOR I I STOR ES I !♦* SPECIALS ARE CASH ONLY % Y Fresh Soda Biscuits 2 V*s. 25c ♦♦♦ *t* 3 Large Boxes Matches 21c *♦* X White Cooking Bear^ 6 Ibs^ 25c T X Superior Bakipq; Povder 22c T ♦*♦ Real Good Black Tea ..per "lb. 45c X ♦♦♦ Clover Leaf Pin^ Salmon, tails 2 for 25c ♦!♦ ♦| FRESH & CURED MEATS-AU Kinds X X Roasting Beef pe^ n,.
