®hje St^\)ttim %hnmce. Vol. 57; No. 36 WEDXEwSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1938 \V. H THURSTON & SON, Proprietor* 4 « Archibald McLean Died at Warren, Ohio Citizens of Flesherton were shocked On Monday morning to learn of the death of Mr. Archie McLean, a for- mer resident of Flesherton, which took place at Warren, Ohio, in his 89th year. He leaves his widow and six children. He was twice married, the first time to Miss Lydia Ellis of Kincard- ine, by whom there were three child- ren, Henry of Cleveland, Will of Portsmouth, Ohio, and Jennie (Mrs. D. L. Weber) of Kimberley. The second marriage was to Mrs. Emma Wickens, who had also contracted a marriage with a cousin, who died six months after their marriage, by whom there were three children, Ev- erett of Madison, Ohio, Violet (Mrs. Hawkins) of Warren, Ohio, with whom Mi\ and Mrs. McLean have been living, and Harold of Hamilton, Ohio. There are also left 16 grand- children and one great-grandchild, little Janet Betts, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ken Betts of Flesherton. Mr. McLean, with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander McLean, were early pioneers, of Kimberley, and in his early days kept the post office there. Before moving to Ohio Mr. McLean resided in Flesherton, when he was one of its most highly respect- ed citizens. He is mosts kindly re- membered by many old friends here, who all join in sympathy with the sorrowing widow and family, who are 80 suddenly bereft of a kind and lov- ing husband and father, whom they all can remember as one for whom they will hold the fondest memories and keenly regret his sudden passing. Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Weber and Wayne of Kimberley and Mr. and Mrs. Wardman of Toronto left on Monday evening to attend the fun- eral which takes place at Warren this Wednesday afternoon. J. N. Perdue Dies John Nelson Perdue, 68, for the past seven years Registrar of Deeds for South Grey riding, died at Durham on Sunday, of a heart seizure. Mr. Pei"- due appeared in good health eartier in the day when he attended church. In 1929 he was unsuccessful Con- servative candidate against Farquhar R. Oliver, United Farmers of Ontario candidate, in the Provincial election. For many years Mr. Perdue was a trustee of Massie Public School and also on the Board of Chatsworth high sch«ol.

Flesherton has won two games and tied one in the last three played, with wins from Shelburne 7-5, Chatsworth 7-5 in ov- ertime, and tied with Dundalk 5-5 in overtime; not too bad considering they lost four of their first five games played. This record compares with last year's when Flesherton just made the play-otfs by gaining fourth place. They have finished the regular sched- ule and have to wait until the other teams have finished before the semi- finals commence. An effort is being made to have an exhibition game to keep the players in shape for the big test. It is not known who Flesherton will meet in the semi-finals but it will likely be Markdale. Total goals scor- ed in home and home games decides the winners, the final games being the best two out of three games play- ed. The race for play-off positions has been exciting lately and Flesher- ton was not sure of a position before they won a close game in Chatsworth Friday night. The local squad has played great hockey lately and the rink should be filled to capacity when the sesii-finals are played here. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Taylor Wed Fifty Years February 1st Tenders Called For Huge Flying Boats Must Be Able To Carry At Least 100 Passengers A Successful Ruse Editor McDonald of the Chesley Enterprise tells the following story of the MacKenzie Rebellion of 1837: In reading about the Rebellion scare at Fergus and in the locality of Guelph, and the rounding up and in- carceration for a short time of sus- pected rebels, we often heard our late father, who was a lad of ten when the rebellion took place, tell the story of the search for rebels in Caledon, Peel County, where he lived with an uncle. It seems a near relative of his uncle was know^n to be a prominent Mac- Kenzie sympathizer and constables were on the seai-ch for the rebel. Friends made the rebel aware of the coming of the officers of the law on a certain evenng and as feather beds took the place of hair and felt mat- tresses of these days, the suspect was placed in bed and woman rela- tives on either side. There were plenty of heavy quilts over the trio and the suspect sunk down deep into the feather bed with the covers pull- ed well over his head. Every room in the home was carefully searched, including the women's room and the police left satisfied the man they were after had gone away. The only effect on the rebel was near-suffocatios be- fore the two women allowed him his freedom from his hiding place in the feather bed. Congratulations were showered on Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Taylor on Tues- day at their home in Flesherton as it was the Golden Jubilee of their wedd- ing day, which occurred Februai^ 1st, 1888. The marriage took place at the home of the "bride's parents near Barrhead, west of -Vlarkdale, and was performed by Rev. George Buggin. The bridesmaid at the wedding was Miss Tillie White and the groomsman was Mr. William Taylor, both of whom are deceased. Since that time they have resided on the Taylor homestead near Mt. Zion, and for the past eight years in Flesh- erton. Both Mr. and Mrs. Taylor are very active, in good health and appear as though they have many more years together in this, their evening of life. Mrs. Taylor, whose maiden name was Agnes J. White, was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John White, and a granddaughter of Wm. White, who settled and cleared the bush for a farm near Saugeen Junction. She was one of a family of nine children, four of whom are now living. Mrs. Taylor's mother often walked from her home at Saugeen Junction to Flesherton where she would take part in special early momiuc serrieee, sad home again before she would take a meal that day, observing the fasting day which was in vogue at that time. For twenty years Mrs. Taylor was superintendent of Mt.. Zion Sunday School. Mr. Taylor was bom 77 years ago on January 10th, on the farm now owned by his son Fred, and which had been cleared from crown lands by his father, the late Jeremiah Taylor. Fred Taylor's sons, Clifford and Stan- ley, are the fourth generation of Tay- lors on that farm and the original crown deed is still the only deed to have been issued for that property. j Mr. Taylor was active in church ivork and w-as an elder in Mt. Zion church for a number of years. He I also served on the public school board ] t'or several terms, besides for a nine j year stretch. Very few have had the privilege of celebrating fifty years of married life together, as have Mr and Mrs. Tay- lor. Out of fourteen couples married in that dietrict the «ame winter ami spring this bride and groom of fifty years ago are the only ones to reach the half century mark together. In the accompanying photo of Mr. and .Mrs Taylor, as they appear today, is seen a corsage worn by Mrs. Taylor which is part of the floral decoration she wore at her wedding. The anniversary day was quietly spent at their home in Flesherton, receiving the congratulations from their fi-iends. .All the members of the family wei-e present for the occasion, Fred and family of Mt. Zion, and Frank and family of this village, who presented their parents with a lovely pair (if wool blankets. j .-V special dinner was pvepai d by i the children and taken over to the paiental home, which was an entire surprise to thhe bride and erroim. ai:l a most enjoyable time was spent a; upper and during the evening. Trucks Here to Stay (Orangeville Banner) The trucks are here to stay whether the railways like it or not. Railways are also an essential factor in our transportation system, particularly for long haul business and at certain periods of the winter months when many of our secodary roads are likely to become blocked. There are those who argue that the railways could have forestalled much of the present day truck competition by introducing a pick up and delivery system when the truck business was at its incipi- ency. This is doubtful because the express companies have always picked up and delivered goods and yet the trucks have made serious inroads on the express business. Conditions in the trucking business should be fair to the railways and the railways should be obliged to play the game fairly so far as rates are concerned. There is evidence that many truck drivers are compelled to work too long hours. This should not be permitted, since the danger to the travelling pub- lic is too great. We read much in the press about the frequency of highway accidents. To allow drivers to oper- ate trucks long hours and over great distances without opportunity for needed rest is simply to invite acci- dents. Once it is admitted that trucks are here to stay, no time should be lost in enacting legislation to protect the public and the men who operate them. As long as doctors are produced to wed the nurses whom they moot in the hospitals, there will be need for nursing schools to fill the vacancies. Winners of Essays The convener of the W. C. T.

Pan American Aii-ways has asked eight aircraft manufactur- ers to submit bids for a fleet of huge transports capable of flying "at least 100 passengers'" from New York to almost any capital of Europe. Requests for the Imers of revolut- ionary size â€" likely to be twice the tonnage oi the so, 000-pound flying boats now under construction for ti-ans-.\tlantic service â€" were made in letters sent to manufacturers. Bids were returnable to Charles A. Lindbergh, chairman of Pan Ameri- can's technical committee, who recent- ly emerged from semi-retirement in England to direct final conferences before the airline's plans were made public. Sl.000,000 Cost Under normal building schedules, the machines, expected to cost about $1,000,000 each, probably will be in jperation over the Atlantic asd Pacif- ic by 1941. Several manufacturers have had on paper designs for craft roughly simil- ar to those requested by the airline for at least two years, actual con- struction having been delayed primar. ily by the absence of a payer. Details of construction were left to manufacturers, the company stipulat- ing only that "special consideration" would be given to designs permitting operation at 20.000 feet altitude or higher, with cabins supercharged to afford passengers comfortable atmos- pheric pressures. The payload must be '25.000 pounds for a non-stop run of 5,000 miles, double that of the Boeing clippers un- der construction for a 2,500-mile flight, and five times the load carried by Martin clippers of the Pacific ser- vice. Dirigible Competition The required passenger capacity and payloads of the machines matches sub- stantially the payload af such airships as the Hindenburg and its successor, 'he L.Z-1.30, while the clipper's speed wnuld be two or three times that of th.' fastest dirigible contemplated. P m American's letter mentioned a desired speed of 2~4 miles per hour at 20.000 foet â€" a speed which would place London within 14 or 1.5 hours of New York. John Binnington Dies Mr John Binnington of Park River, North Dakota, passed away at his res- idence on Saturday morning, January '2yth, at the age of 94 years and tiva months.
