THE FLESHERTOX ADVANCE Wednesday, December 7, 1938 •^ . White Gift Sunday On December 1 1 For the third year a "White Gift" service will be held in St. John's Unitfd church next Sunday morning at eleven o'clock. A .special White Gift pageant will be presented by the Sunday School and the adult congre- gation is asked to come prepared to take part in presenting their gifts in the manger. These gifts will be used to bring Christmas cheer to local needy families and the remainder will be sent to Rev. John Macartney at Espanola, Northern Ontario, for dis- tribution among the very needy child- ren on his pastoral charge. The con- dition among the settlers is worse this year than it has been for some years. On account of exceptional rainfall this summer, crops were be- low average. There is no pulp wood market this winter and lumbering is at a standstill, so the settlers are find- ing very trying times. W^e have tak- en responsibility to see that 53 child- ren on Mr. Madartney's field will be cared for this Christmas. Toys for the little ones, candy and nuts, hand- kerchiefs, scarves, mitts, toilet art- icles, etc., would be acceptable, also donations of cash would be thankfully received, so that no child would be overlooked. â€" Cont. XNTRE LINE Mr. Roy Helmkay and sister, Elean- or, have gone to Toronto. Mr. R. Osbonie and John are em- ployed cutting wood near Rock Mills. The quarterly meeting of the Max- well circuit met at Wareham on Mon- day afternoon and it was decided to again do the same as last year when each appointment missed one service in four weeks beginning January 1.

PROTON STATION Surely not wedding bells again?' Cupid has been concentrating on Pro- ton Station young men this fall, now who will be the next one? Last Tuesday evening the home of Mr. and Mrs. 'William Reddick was filled to capacity with the friends of their son, Norman, and his bride, Alice Carson, of Dundalk. The even- ing was spent in a social way and in dancing, the music being supplied by local talent. During the evening the bride and groom were made the recip- ients of a handsome stndio couch and a fancy cushion on behalf of the com- munity. The following address was read by Miss Florence Batchelor, and Norman expressed the gratitude of his wife and him.self for the lovely gift. Following is the address: To Mr. and Mrs. Norman Reddick: Dear Norman and Alice we've come here tonight To wish that your future be happy and bright; Be prosperou.s and useful, as fair as can be. Not forgetting the Giver, whose gifts are so free. Yes, Norman, we've known you since you were a lad, And w^e know that your good points outnumber the bad; Were glad you are staying here, where we surround you, A real good neighbor we always have found you. .A.nd, .A.lice. we've watched you again and again WTien your swift feet and fingers kept pace with your brain; These qualities found in a capable wife Will make you a wonderful partner through life. This studio couch we bring as our gift. We hope it may help some burdens to lift; When in quiet moments together you sit. And relax in its cushions and rest up a bit.

Toronto) On Monday the cattle market was active and steady for cattle of choice quality, including weighty steers, while thoiie of medium quality sold at lower prices in comparison. Reports from American maricets were ^ot good and this had some effect in causing a slow ti-ade towards the cluiie of the day. Choice weighty steers brought from C.'u ~-^ ~.'jZ; .iia -o g ;d from o.OO to 6.75; common to medium 5.00 to 5.T5. In tne butcher section, choice steers and heifers sold at from 5.50 to 6.00; fair to good from 5.00 to 5.50; common to medium 4.25 to 4.75; choice baby beeves brought from 8.00 to 9.00, with those of medium qualitv slow of sale from 5.50 to 7.00. Choice butcher cows brought from 3.75 to 4.00; fair to good from 3.25 to 3.75; common to medium 2.75 to 3.00; can- ners and cutters 2.25 to 2.65. Choice butcher bulls brought from 4.00 to 4.50; heavy bolognas 3.75 to 4.00, and common light 3.25 to 3.50. The lamb trade was strong, choice lambs selling from 8.75 to 9.00.

Hogs featured the market, advanc- ing sharply to 8.75 for truck deliver- ies, due to a good demand from a number of small buyers. In view of the fact that hogs usually work lower at this season of the year, it is con- sidered to be exceptional that an advance has taken place. Rail deliv- eries brought 11.90. iSj:^§is^:sjs^^i5i5'i^' n%is^^^i^si»s^ MAKE THIS STORE Your Headquarters FOR FOWL DAY, DECEMBER 14th We have a Full line of Assorted Soups, 3 cans 23c 3 larj^e cans Pork and Beans 25c 1 Corn. 1 Peas, 1 Tomatoes, the ^ cans .. 25c New Mincemeat 2 tblbs. 25c Cut Mixed Peel, per pound 25c Chocolate Drops, per pound 19c French Creams and Gum Drops, per tb. .. 19c Peanuts, December 14th only 2 tibs. 19c Special Mi.xture.

FLESHERTON "fal I I I I I II I I I I I « I ir t t V f 1 â-  1 '**'â- '" ' r ,t, . .iii, i» > tit * i l l till Farm Girl Leaves For The Cily With a touch of pathos in his voice a wealthy Bruce County farmer tells a story that has possibly had its counterpart on many farms in Old Ontario when young folks decide to iro to the city and leave their par- ents with the impossible task of car- rying on alone at home. In this particular ease the fanner was a widower, but well able to carry on with the help of a daughter, the last of the family to remain at home. Apparently the girl knew another girl from the district who had gone to the city and secured a good po- sition, and in the letters which passed between them, the city girl told her friend how foolish she was to spend the rest of her life milking cows and doing housework. 'Why not come to the city, get a position, dvess well, enjoy the shows and dances and have a good time? It is a story that has often been repeated. The farmer's daughter had been o\intent at home, fully experi- enced in farm work, and a great help to her fathei^-until the city girl painted a picture of a happier and fuller life in the city. One week end there was an excursion to Toronto, and the girl told her father she was going down but would be home Mon- day night to help with the chores and prepare the meats. Monday night came, but the girl was not on the train. Tuesday noon her dad got a letter from his daugh- ter, saying she would not be return- ing home except for visits because she h.id secured a good government position at $15 per week. She is an- other country girl in process of be- coming city-fied. It seems strange that there are hundreds of Toronto-born girls who find it impossible to secure any kind of position, yet this girl steps right out of a Bruce farm home and grabs off a job and a wage that would be very desirable to many a Toronto man. The girl i.« happy in her new sur- •oundings. hut her dad back home is forced to have the farm sold and settle down to live retired in some small town bocAuse he has lost his only pal and helpmate t-^ the city. â€" Hanover Post.
