That might be termed a whale of a funeral bill. Shelburoe Wias From Haisbirg Shelbume hockey team defeated Hillsburg 7-1 in the third grame of their final series and are winners of the Callaghan Trophy emblenaatic of the championship of the Centre Grey League. Shelbume is a worthy champion of the League, winning the cup by a decisive margin, although their opposition in the local group was of the keener kind. They over- came Dundalk in overtime in a torrid battle in the third game to decide proup A honors. They finished sec- ond in the group, defeated Flesherton, last year's winners in two straight games and from then on could not be stopped. Our forecast of the cup lo- cating in Shelbume for this year proved to be accurate, but for the good of the League some other club in the gijoup should annex the trophy and thus keep interest alive. In the meantime we can congratulate Shel- bume for the success they attained' this season.

The deciding goal was scored in the last 35 seconds by Dan Mc- Tavish, son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. McTavish, general sales manager for General Motors of Canada. Dan is well known here as he visits each summer with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Dan McTavish. Dan has been playing great hockey on defence for Oshawa all season and his winn- ing goal on Saturday was a clima:: to a splendid winter's sport. Oshawa will represent the OH.A. in the play- downs for the Memorial Cup and the Dominion championship. We wish them all success in their quest for Dominion honors. FleshertOD Merchants Are No Exception (Tara Leader) Tara or any other town will not be- come a good business centre so long as its business men rely on a few merchants to make the effort to bring trade to town. Too often the men in a few lines of trade tre about the o.i- ly ones that reach out after custom. Other merchants wait until these men induce people to come to town and content themselves with trade that naturally drifts to their place.,A pub- lic spirited man should ask himself if he is doing his best to attract people to come to town to trade in helping the entire business community and no town is a success unless ail lines are working to extend the trade as far as possible and trying to bring a larger territory in the circles in which the town is the business centre. Passes 95th Milestone The Advance is delighted to tender congratulations to Mr Adam Smith of Eugenia who celebrated his 95th birthday on Saturday last. Mr. Smith has for many years been one of Eugenia's most esteemed residents. Mrs. E. Morgan of Flesherton is the youngest daughter, there being two others. Miss Gtorgina and Mrs. G. W.

Many other migratory birds have also put in an appearance.

In Parliament â€" The Senate and the House of Commons â€" many mat- ters have been talked of, numerous pieces of legislation advanced a stage, several committees have sat and in all offices the increasingly heavy routine business has been car- ried on. But, wherever members met, in lobbies, the corridors, the cafeteria, it was not of these they talked, but of the growing gravity of the European situation. The strain is felt by everyone. We live in an atmosphere of foreboding and, in the face of it, with millions dying in Asia and Elurope and with the threat of â- sven vaster destruction, efforts seem futile and our daily tasks insignifi- cant. The Prime Winisier. in a brief statement, spoke of the momentous happenings in Europe and Asia and said: "Canada is a part of the contin- ent of North America. Unless it is the d&s-lre to have it appear that our country is anxious to participate in these events and to become a party to or a part of what Is happening . it is desirable that all persons in a position of authority and re- sponsibility in this country, who have anything to do with the shaping or molding of public opinion, whether in Parliament or in the prees. should refrain from taking an.v steps or making any representation which would appear to have a contrary aim or purpose." Mr. King thought that we should. at all costs, avoid embarrassing the countries faced with the present ap- palling situation. At this juncture, Mr. Woodsworth asked him if the government would put an embargo on war materials going into Japan, but received no answer. If a discussion such as reported in the newspapers could be carried on in the British House of Commons. Mr. Bennett could not see what harm would come from having the head of the government in this country indi- cate what the government's apprecl- atioa of the situation is "In the light of their fuller information." • * • • As Mr. Bishop, writing in the Cit- izen, says, the power export question "comes on and goes off." And that's about it. In the second reading of the Bill, transferring the authority from the Governor-in-CouncU (the cabinet ) to Parliament, to grant li- censes for the export of power, an interesting statement was made by the Prime iMinister. He said that If this Bill passed and a private Bill based on it was introduced: that is. a Bill from a province requesting the I right to export power. Liberal mem- bers are to be free to vote as they please. "T shall ask them to do wh.it they think is right, regardless alto- gether of what view I may take. 1 know what position I am going to take: there has been no doubt in my mind all along as to that." But the Prime Miuis-ter made it clear that he his kept his opinions to himself In order not to affect the vote of mem- bers of his party. It amuses me. If on matters as serious as the export of a vital natural resource like elec- tric power members are to be allowed to vote on the merits of the ques- tion, why can they not always vote on the merits of a question? li would maKe Parliament much more useful. • • • • Last week I was telling you that Mr. Ounning admitted and even defended a managed currency, but at the s,nme time attacketl Mr. Tuck- er, the member for Rosthern. for wanting to manage it some more â€" shall we say, better. They are not unatike. They even look alike, and thi>y are both stubbt-irn and smillne and have the same kind of square jaw. So one wasn't surprisfd to hear 'Mr. Tucker •saying: "I'm still nnpep^nf.nt and unconvinced." He the* went "on to rei<iice in the fact that the Finance Minister had at- tacked his theory. He thought tt a distinct step forwar<l that the Mln- >k notice of It at all.

During the day she was in her usual health and in the evening was lying on the couch when her daughter, Mrs. Lloyd Tal- ! hot, advised her to go to bed which she did. Her breath came more slow- ly and more slowly and then ceased, and Mrs. Best's spirit had fled. Deceased was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles Doupe and was bom at St. Mary's later coming to Egremont township at the age of 13 years. She went with her parents to Manitoba where they remained for only three years, returning to Grey county they settled on the West Back Line. She is survived by her sister Kate, and one brother .Amos. On February 28th, 1877. she mar- ried Robert Best and they settled on the farm where she died. Here her eight children were bom namely; Edwin and Allie. who received injur- ies in the bush when a tree fell on them and which later caused their death: George near Flesherton; Rachel, (Mrs. E. Simmons), Toronto; Charlie at Victoria Comers; Bert in B. C; Margaret, (Mrs. L. Talbot).: and Rhoda, (Mrs. G. Udell), Ceylon. Mrs. Best always had a robust con- situation, and an evidence of this fact was, that only five days before her death, she walked from her home to Flesherton a distance of one and a half miles. One of our townsmen very kindly drove her home, a kind- ness which the family greatly apprec- iated. Deceased also leaves eighteen grandchildren and nineteen great grandchildren. The service was held in the United Church on Wednesday. March 16, and was conducted by her pastor. Rev. G. R. Service, who said Mrs. Best was the oldest member of the church in Flesherton. Friends from a distance were: Mrs. Ray Simmons and two dau.^'htsrs; Mrs. Will Lyle and Mrs. Percy Mc- Clennald and two sons, Newton and Eddie; Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Spe::oe and Mrs. Thomas Clayton, all of To- ronto; Mr. and Mrs. Ben Brooks of Brantford; Misses ElUa and Olga Stewart, Miss Vickie Barrett and Mr. Amos Doupe who motored down from Owen Sound the evening before. The pallbearers were Messrs. Fred Irwin, Jas. Harrison, Ward Harrison. Geo. White. Harry Akins. and Will Johnson. Five grandsons were flow- er bearers. Everette Talbot, Wilfred and Roy Best, Eddie and Newton Simmons. The flowers gave mute testimony of the love and esteem held by rel- atives and neighbors; thev were- a pillow from the family; sprav from -Mr. J. T. Best and family; spray«: from Mrs. Spence and family; from Mr. and Mrs. Burton Field; from Mrs -Ale.\. Stewart and familv; from Mr ami Mrs. Geo.
