THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Wednesday, February 9, 1938 I .1; â- Â» PRICEVILLE Miifis Marie McLachlan left last week for Hamilton to take a course .In domestic science. Mrs. E. Nuhn of Flesherton spent a few days visiting at the home of A. L. Hiacks and also spent the week end with her daughter, Mrs. Cecil Fawcett, South Line. Mrs. McMeekin is visiting at the home of her brother, Mr. Standy Stonehouse. A quilting bee was held Wednes- day afternoon at the home of Mrs. A. L. Hincks, when fifteen ladies were present and two quilts were quilted. A contest was given and Mrs. Donald Campbell won first prize and Mrs. Jim Sturrock the cofisolation prize. Tea was then served. Mr. Alex. Carson spent the week end in Toronto with his wife and daughters. Mr. Frank McAi-thur underwent an operation last week in Durham hos- pital and is improving nicely. He expects to be home this week. Friends here were very sorry to hear of the illness of Miss Ena Nichol in Lonodn. Her many friends wish her a complete recovery. Wednesday of this week the Hold- fast Club meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. J. A. Nichol. Mr. Jim Sturrock had the misfor- ^tune to lose a good cow on Sunday. PROTON STATION As Mr. H. B. Jackson was sawing •wood with his machine he caught his foot in the saw, and one toe was se- vered and the foot quite badly cut. Mr. Jackson will be confined to the house for some time. Miss Leila Jackson and Miss Gert- rude Irish are in Dundalk nursing Mr. Martin, who was seriously frozen. The two little daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Blake are ill with scarlet fever «nd the home is under quarantine. The cases are reported to be light.

Canadian Pacific KIMBERLEY Sympathy of the community ia ex- tended to the family and relatives of Mr. Archie McLean^ who passed away in Warren, Ohio, on Jan. 31st. Mr. McLean resided in this community for many years and was held in very igh e<;teem by all. Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Weber and Wayne, also Mr. and Mrs. Art Wardman of Toronto at- tended the funeral. For many years Mr. and Mrs. McLean have visited regularly with their family and other relatives here. These happy visits will be greatly missed by their hosts of friends. P. S. Rangers played a snappy game of hockey with the married men on Saturday afternoon â€" score 6-3 in fa- vor of the Rangers. It afforded the .spectators plenty of thrills and am- usement, as the less practised married men tried to cope with the active and speedy swarms of youngsters, who literally "ganged up" on the puck carrier. Mrs. John Haynes, who has recently purchased the Wodehouse store from Mr. Clive Dolan, expects to take pos- session about the 15th of this month. The Board of Management of the Kimberley skating rink held a suc- cessful drive for funds and labor, and now have electric lights installed, which will be a decided improvement. We are hoping the weather man gives us a few more weeks of wintry weath- er, as the recent thaws and rains are hard on open air rinks. A good thick bed of ice has made future skating possible if frosty weather continues. Anticipating a carnival soon. The Women's Institute met recently at the home of Mrs. R. Chard and the ladies donated $15 toward electric lights for the skating rink, also |3 to Rangers hockey team to assist them in buying goalie pads. Very interest- ing papers on home decorating and reading were given, after which a dainty lunch was served. The Ladies Aid of the United Church was held at the home of Mrs. Chas. Graham on Feb. Ist. After plans had been laid for a supper and concert to be held early in March, a 10 cent tea was served by Miss Elsie Graham, assisted by Mrs. Carl Car- ruthers and Miss Mary Proctor. Since the thaw last week end the first cars since Christmas have been over the county road from Kimberley to Flesherton via Eugenia. Trucks hauling logs to Durham still go the valley road, following the route pro- posed for the new road, for which a deputation waited upon the County Council recently. CENTRELINE VICTORIA CORNERS BORN â€" At Markdale hospital on Sunday, January 30th, 1938. to Mr. and Mrs. Ellwood Stevens, the gift of a daughter. Miss Edith Fenwick of Owen Sound Douglas Henderson of Orangeville Linton. is visiting her sister, Mrs. Russell visited his sister, Mrs. Eemie Stinson. There are so many jack rabbits in Elgin county that the natives are almost afraid to go out alone. AUCTION SALE JOHN A. FENWICK, lots 25-6, Con. 3, Osprey, half mile west of Hather- toj\ will hold an auction sale on Thursday, Feb. 17th, at 1 p.m., of horses, cattle, swine, implements, furniture, etc. Everything must be sold as proprietor is giving up farm- ing. â€" Geo. E. Duncan, auctioneer. t T ♦♦♦ t T T Special Demonstration t t t We are having plenty of changes in the weather now, and during the past week there were four days of rain. A thunder storm blew over on Sunday and it is freezing now. At present the roads are almosts impassable with ice and soft snow banks. Church service was not held at Mt. Zion on the last Sunday in January. While the pastor arrived there were only two of the church members and adherents who attended. Yesterday was Mt. Zion's turn to miss a service. We expect to have church next Sun- day at 3 p.m. In spite of the wet day on Thurs- day last a sleigh load of Wareham young people drove to Dundalk in the evening to skate at the arena, and after a couple of hours skating Miss Ila Fell entertained the young folk at her studio. All returned home in the early hours of the morning well pleased with their evening of plea- sure. Victor Osborne was the winner of the lucky ticket at the rink, re- ceiving a box of chocolates. Mrs. Florence Lyons has retunied home after visiting her sister, Mrs. Emerson Simmons, of Drayton. Mr. Ernie Little gave a party to a number of friends on Friday night last. Miss Mabel Fawcett and girl friend of Duncan attended the dance. We extend our sympathy to Mrs. Jas. Hopps and other friends of Mi-s. Beatty, who passed away recently at her home near Hatherton. BUCKINGHAM ROCK MILLS The thaw has left the roads very icy and difficult for travelling. Mrs. Chas. Sensabaugh of Owen Sound is visiting with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Paton. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Best of Toron- to spent the week end with relatives here. Mr. Laurie Belts had a radio in- stalled last week. Miss Sadie Foster has returned home from Toronto. Mrs. Harold Osborne and daughter of Feversham spent the week end with her sister, Mrs. Ned Croft. Miss Bessie Russell is still confined to her bed. We trust she will soon be able to be up and around again. Trucks from Durham are again hauling lumber from the mill here to the furniture factory in Durham. The Ladies' Aid will hold their monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. Dick Clark on Wednesday, Feb. 16th. Lunch committee â€" cake, Mrs. .\rt Porteous; sandwich, Mrs. E. Russell. Mr. Wes Littlejohns of Orange Valley spent the week end at the home of Jas, Russell. Mrs. Art Porteous is on the sick list. The big thaw the first of the week has greatly diminshed the depth of snow and, we believe, out-did the pro- verbial January thaw. Several rolls of thunder were heard, which, if oc- curring in winter was supposed to presage "summer hunger," but which has come to be regarded merely as "an old saying.' Miss Irene Hudson leaves Monday to spend a month in Toronto. We wish to offer congratulations to the recent groom and bride, Mr. and Mrs. Ross Robinson (nee Evelyn Haw- ton) who were married Jan. 29th. The Ladies' Community Club held its Februai-y meeting at the home of Mrs. Ji T. Davidson on Wednesday of last week, with an attendance of 24 in- cluding visitors. After the usual op- ening exercises the buying committee brought for the approval of the mem- bers an order of warm clothing for a needy family in an adjoining commun- ity, also some clothing donated by a member. A letter was read express- ing appreciation for a box of grocer- ies which had been sent to the same home some time ago. One quilt top was sold and the blocks for another completed. At the close of the meet- ing both the secretary and the treas- urer tendered their resignations, the former permanently and the latter only temporarily. Mrs. W. J. Conn was appointed secretary and Mrs. J. Brown will take over the duties of the treasurer for a few months. All then enjoyed a dainty lunch served by the hostess. Mrs. Jas. Fawcett invited the members to her home for the next meeting on March 2nd. Cake com., Mrs. Jas. Hudson, Mrs. Herb Havrton and Mrs. A. MuUin. Miss Merle Davidson left recently to spend several months in Toronto. On Friday evening a large crowd gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Hawton and presented the re- cent groom and bride, Mr. and Mrs. Ross Robinson, with a miscellaneous shower. Dancing and cards were en- joyed until lunch, after which a table laden with gifts was placed in the centre of the dinnig room and Mr. and Mrs. Robinson invited to chairs and an address was read by Mr. Jas.Fawcett. which was signed on behalf of the friends and neighbors by Stewart Mc- Mullen and Bruce Mullin. Mr. Rob- inson e.xpress^d thanks for his wife and himself in a few well chosen words, and extended an invitation to visit them in their new home. Danc- ing was resumed for an hour, every- body apparently having spent a very pleasant evening. ^ DRIED OR PICKLED FISH // Fifteen thousand young people have left Manitoba in the last five years and it would be interesting to know where they have managed to find employment. £adie4,! • Even if that dauntless fisherman didn't have any luck, today, he can have fish for supper . . . and he will like it!
