NOVEMBER 23, 1938 \\. 11. rirlLKSHiX ^: -^oX. i'luunetora In \ I \ Nominations Friday tor Municipalities Municipal nominations for the vil- lage of Flesherton and the township of Artemesia are being held in the town hall, Flesherton, this Friday, November 25th, the latter in the af- ternoon and the former in the even- ing. Reeve .H. A. McCauley, Warden of Grey, has announced definitely that he will not be in the field for the position of Reeve this year and his chair will likely be filled by Mr. A. Down, a member of the Council for some years. Reeve McCauley has given fine service in the interests of his home village and many will be sorry to see him give up his duties. Councillor Down's place will have to be filled and candidates for office are not easy to locate. Three public school trustees and one member to the Cemetery Commission are to be elected. Artemesia Nomtnations From all appearances there will be an election in Artemesia Township. Mr. Elmer Warling, Deputy-Reeve, is resigning after a number of years of faithful service, as he intends moving from the township. We un- derstand that Messrs. Robt. Purvis, who is the veteran of the Council, and Ernest A. Stinson will contest the position of Deputy-Reeve. Reeve J. A. Davis will likely receive an ac- clamation as he has an exoellent chance of becoming the Warden of Grey County for 1939. If the Messrs. Purvis and Stinson decide to oppose each other there will be two positions to fill for Councillors, but who these aspirants are is not known at pres- ent, although it is expected that Mr. George A. Cairns will again run as he was defeated by only a few votes at the last election, after infomatiGi^ had been given out that he had been elected over Mr. Purvis. The fi- nances of the Township appear to be in excellent condition, according to the report «f the Treasurer, Mr. Alex. Cameron. A report will also be given by Mr. Wm. Blackburn, road super- intendent, on the success of the road system now in use in the Township. A sharp nose indicates curiosity and a flat one may indicate too much. Important Session of Grey County Council A by-law containing the ten-mill tax rate set for the County of Grey for 1939 was passed in Grey County Council on .Friday afternoon. The lO-mill rate was set at the June ses- .sion of the Council. Eight mills are callected for the general rate, two mills for school purposes. This is levied en the total equalized assessment of the County, which requires a total of $248,185.47 to be raised for all purposes.

Fine Artesian Well The finest flow of water from any well in Flesherton was brought in by Mr. M. Bellerby, driller, to supply water for the new creamery. Mr.' Bellerby estimates that the well will run freely at about twenty gallons to the minute or about eighty gallons with a pump and rises to the height of seven feet in a pipe attached to the top of the casing. This will al- low the cream to be cooled with a steady free flow of water from the well. This supply will more than meet the needs of the creamery. Messrs. Rapp and Borinsky expect to have everything ready to commence taking in cream by the first of De- cember. They have the pasteurising equipment on hand at the present time and other machinery will be placed in position immediately. WRONG SIDE The Irish carpenter was throwing away about every third nail that he picked up. "Why are you throwing away those nails?'' the foreman asked. ''The heads are on the wrong end," the carpenter replied. "You're crazy,'* replied the foreman. "Don't throw away any more of those nails â€" they are for the other side of the building."

The procession returned to the Town Hall where a service was held with Warden H. A. McCauley acting as chairman. The service was conducted by Rev. Elliott assisted by Rev. Ashtou. The local ex-servicemen's club held a social evening when over eighty ox-servicemen and their wives sat down to a fowl supper prepared by the 'Women's Institute. The tables and hall were decorated in red, white and blue. H. A. McCauley acted as chairman. .\fter a short sing-song of old favorites, with Miss Dorothy Foster at the piano, Mr. McCauley spoke briefly. After supper the evening was spent in cards and dancing. This was the first event of this nature that the veterans have attempted, but as it was a fine success, it was decided to make it an annual event. rSSBBI The man who introduced the sax- aphone to Canada says he regrets it.

DISASTROUS FEVERSHAM FIRE ON SATURDA.Y NOVEMBER 12th '^m: '^ m^ ,.-^? 55*«iii ;â-  fr:*fe<g Card nf Thanks The Council of the Town.ship of Osprey wish to express their apprec- iatipn to the Flesiherton Fire Brigade for assistance rendered at the fire which destroyed the Robinson store in Fevorsham on Novi-mber 15. C .N. LONG, Clerk. Fire Destroyed Feversiaoi 5to e In Speciacular Blaze Saturday noon, November l2th, Feversham village was visited with a dirastrous fire that gutted the store of Eli Robinson and Son^ the Robin- son residence and the barber shop at the rear of the Robinson store. For a time it was feared that the flames would spread to neighboring build- ings and a call was sent in to the Flesherton and Dundalk fire depart- ments and later to Collingwood for their big pumper. With these outfits on hand the fire was brought under control and further danger averted. The fire originated in the barber shop of Jack MeCready while he was away for his lunch, supposedly from overheated pipes and was blazing fiercely when discovered by Messrs. H. W. Kernahan and Morton Sayers. The high wind soon caused the fii-e to spread rapidly and in a short space of time a large crowd had gathered to give assistance in removing the con- tents of the store and post office, whinh was kept by Mr. Robinson in his store. 'While nothing could be done to save the stoi'e building all attenton was directed to the neigh- boring buildings and with the arrival of the various chemical apparatus and the Collingwood pumper steady streams of water were directed at the ruins and the fire extinguished. The residence of Jack MeCready. next Robinson home, was in con.stant danger but was saved. \n abundance of water was secured from the pond in the village and bucket brigades watched the buildings for any sijrn ol' a blaze commencing. Most of the contents of the store were destroyed and some posst office records lost, besides considerable of the house furnishings. .A gasoline service tank in front of the store ex- ploded and spread flaming gasoline in all directions. It is estimate*! that the total loss in the fire would amount to 10,000 or over. We iinderstancr tnat Mr. Rob- inson, an old resident of Feversham, e.xpects to rebuild in the spring. .\ special water system for fire protection had been installed in the building but refused to work when the wires were burned by the fire, as it was located adjoining the barber shop. Within two weeks prior to the fire a new bathroom outfit had been installed and hardwood flooring laid at a «ost of between $500 and $600, as Jack Robinson had been married only a short time before. Much sym- pathy is extended to Mr. Robinson in his loss, which he feels keenly, as he is about 75 years of age. Mr. Robin- son had associated with him in the 'tore at the time of the fire Miss Irene Hudson, Miss Alma Essland and Charles Stephenson. The post office had been installed in the Temperance Hotel on the south side of the village. Saturday evening the smouldering emhers again came to life with the high wind and another call was sent for the Collingwood outfit which spent some time directing streams of water into the ruins and completely drenched the embers, so that further danger was eliminated. •^.alf^U L»e r D) i-^iiii^iiii Ji. JUuii b 1.1 .u. Only two deer were taken by lota! hunters irom town during the past week in the open season for this elusive Rami.' in Grey and Bruce. Bob Priest!', y, local butcher, shot a fine trwo-y.ar-old buck on Tuesday, while Wilfred Lever bagged a doe on Wednesday, both being taken from the marsh in the south of Osprey Township. The Priestley buck trav- elled two miles and a half after being hot and was finally overtaken when standing on some ice, unable to go any further. Wilfred Lever grabbeo it by the antler^, led it to firm ground and finally dispatched it with a knife after quite a struggle. Sev- eral deer were taken near Kimberley and a couple of East Mountain resi- dents were fortunate in securing their number. There are plenty of deer in this district, but most of them managed to stay out of rifle range or were lucky to escape from poor shooting by their pursuers. Many hunters went back home with nothing on their backs except their rifle and e.xperience.
