Price in Canada 12.00 per year, when paid in advance $1.50; in U. S. A. $2.50 per year, when paid in advance |2.00. F. J. THURSTON', Editor EDnORIAl, .^OTRy Capt. Anjrus Walter and his Blue- nose from Lunenburj?, Nova Scotia, won the sailing' race off Boston from the Gertrude L. Thobaude, American owned. Both are fishing vessels Unit ply the waters of the Grand Bank.s off the Atlantic Coast and the race created jrreat interest throughout the country. Canadian boats are stili supreme on the Atlantic coast and all honor should be accorded C<i;H.. \\ al- ter and his gallant crew. • • • Great plans are being made for the welcoming of King George \1 and Queen Elizabeth when they make an official visit to Canada next sum- mer. An invitation has been extend- ed for the King to unveil the Grey County memorial at Owen Sound, . but acceptance of this has not yet been made. The question of enter- tainment for the Royal couple is a delicate matter, as it is not the pur- pose to give private people a chance to benefit socially through their visit, hence the decision to reside in their suite in a special train while visit- ing in any province where there are not any vice-regal residences. For political purposes Ontario has no ac- commodation for Royalty as these were discarded by the Hepbum gov- ernment when the present Lieutenant- Governor took office. However, we expect that the King and Queen will be received with wide open arms and great acclaim, and the absence of an official residence will be forgotten in the excitement of their arrival and visit. • • • A letter to the editor appears on the front page of this issue which states that our article in the issue of October 19th was misleading as re- gards expenditures for Artemesia High School. The letter is self- explanatory and we quite agree with its contents. Due to the fact that the meaning of the act passed by the Provincial Government changing the taxes in high school areas and non- high school areas, the County Rate was lower last year than in 1936, but was raised again this year and the same amount of money collected as two years ago. Our statement might have been misunderstood, but the fact remains that the ratepayers are raising more money for educational purposes that in 1937, and the rate is raised considerably more in three school sections in the township that did not make a levy last year. Our purpose in that article was to show that while the rate had advanced in certain sections, all the advance could not be attributed to the extra cost of the road system undertaken by the township this year. Our com- parisons were made between the tax bills of 1037 and 1938 and not to any year before. Education in Artemesia township is not costing more than in years gone by, no more money is fteing expended, but it is a fact that due to various causes education is costing Artemesia township more this year than it did last. VANDELEUR An interesting ami well attended meeting was held in the church on Friday evening when the pastor, Rev. S. E. Annis, showed a large number of slides dealing with missionary work in China. After some discus- sion it was decided to form a young men's club and to hold meeting dur- ing the winter. The W.I. held its October meet- intr at the home of Mrs. Frank Davis when a large number were in attend- ance. Mrs. Annis gave a splendid talk on Chinese customs and also displayed some Chinese clothing. The November meeting will be held at the school house when the men will put on the program. Mr. and Mrs. H. I. Graham attend- ed the Temperance convention held in Owen Sound on Thursday last. Mr. and Mrs. '\Vm. Moriow, Kath- leen and Bobby of Massie and Mr. and Mrs Lome Caesar of Owen Sound were recent guests of Mr. and Mrs. H. I. Graham. Messrs. Frank Davis and Howard Graham were among the guests at the Rotary Club at Markdale on Fri- day evening. Prof. Boll of the On- tario Agricultural College was the guest speaker of the evening. Shower i'or B:iae A pleasant evening was spent ab the home of Mrs. C. Doupe Thursday when the many friends of Mr. an, I Mrs. Allen Smith from Springhill dis- trict presented the newly married couple with a cabinet of silverware. The presentation was made by Mes- srs. Roy Best and Rhesa McClean while the following address was read by Miss Elsie White. Dear Irene and Allen, 'We have gathered here to- night to enjoy a few hours with you. It may be our last chance to join you in a long time but we hope to see you again soon. We beg you to accept this small gift as a token of our regard for you. Please do not judge us by the value of thi;s gift for after all it is the feeling that goes with the gift that counts. Wishing you a long and happy mar- ried life we are ever your friends. Signed on behalf of the community, Roy Best, Delmar Mc/L'lean, Rhesa McClean and Fred Conking. THAT tooth .> No . . . that howl in your radio! Let us give your radio a oam- pint "check up".

ND-U COOK'S RAmo sF.uvicr. Phone 77 Flesherton Small Potato Crop According to the first estimate just issued, the 19.38 potato crop in Can- ada is placed at 36,643,000 cwt. This is the smallest crop on record since 1915, and is fourteen per cent, below that of 1937. Short crops in recent years were 38,000,000 cwt. in 193.5, and 39,000,000 cwt. in 1932 and 1936. The October first estimate of the 1938 United States potato crop is .'i73.275,000 bushels, decrease of 20,- 011.000 bushels in 1937 ROYAL WINTER FAIR This year's Royal Agricultural Winter Fair which opens at Toronto on November 15 is to be still more extensive in scope, with greater var- iety and larger prizes than in any I'oimer year. On account of the improvements made in the Royal Winter Fair clas- ses, judging time and accommodation a larger display of livestock is antic- ipated, and entries from new com- petitors, notably in dairy cattle and sheep, have been received. Also it is 'expected that with herds from Prince Edward Island and British Columbia, all the nine provinces of Canada will be represented. The new Seed and Grain Show promises to assume an importance commensurate with Canada's inter- national status in grain growing, and, as a result of the improved crop antl economic conditions, the entries from the Prairie Provinces promise to cre- ate a record. The space devoted to poultry has been largely increased and practically a whole floor has been taken for what will prove to be an outstanding industrial exhibit by the combined efforts of the poultry in- dustry of Canada, the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture and the egg producers and the manufacturers of supplies. New Hockey Rules WUl Speed Up Game Hockey fans will hear less of the rtleiee's whistle this season if all the new rules in the book are lived up to. Because the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association agreed on the alterations, every rink in the country will have to make its blue lines one foot wide and paint the goal posts all lines except aone lines red. The wider blue lines and one other item are designed to cut down off- side plays. A player will not be con- sidered off-side unless his skates are over the blue line edge nearest the goal. This means he may reach over the line with his stick for the puck as long as his skates don't cross be- fore he touches the rubber. A minor penalty will be impossed on any player except the goal tender who holds the puck against the boards unless he is being checked by another player. A penalty shot will be awarded if the goalie holds the puck more than three seconds, drops it into his pads or throws it into the crowd. These things formerly called for a painful whistle blast and a face-off. Now they come under the head of "stalling" and should oc- cur less often. An off-side will be called when the defending team ices the puck from its area and the rubber crosses the penalty-shot line in the other team's area; formerly the puck had only to cross the other blue line to be called "iced." The referee, however, will not call the play until he is sure a •oa! cannot be scored on an iced shot. LADY BANK (Intended for last week) Mr. .Joe Cooper is at his home here suffering with an abscess on his arm. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Semple and two daughters visited over the week end with Mr. and Mrs. W. Semple. Mr. and Mrs. Russel Allison and Joe and Mrs. M.

All the direct shipments to the Con- tinent in 1937-38 went to Hamburg except for five thousand boxes to Havre, France.
