.Wednesday, April 19, 1939 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Published on CoUingwood Street, Flesherton, Wednesday of each week. Circulation over 1,000. Price in Canada $2.00 per year, when paid in advance |1.60; in U, S. A. $2.60 per year, when paid in advance $2.00. F. J, THURSTON. Editor. Government Extravagance (Durham Chronicle) We don't agree with everything we see in the editorial columns of the Globe and Mail, but we certainly en- dorse an editorial in that paper re- cently where it points out that the government purchased a rifle range in North Grimsby for |98,000, while on the same day an advertisement ap- peared in a Toronto newspaper offer- ing a farm for sale, with stock and implements, and approximately the same size as that purchased by the government for a rifle range, at |4,000. There are a good many farmers in Grey County who would like to sell their 100-acre holdings for $98,000. tn fact we know some who would take considerable less, say $50,000, and not complain. As our contemporary asks, "Is it necessary to have expensive land for bullets to whizz over, or is land of any kind expensive when Governments buy it?" It is about time for the voters of Canada to wake up and find out what is going on around them and insist on more rigid economy in Govern- ment purchases. Until investigated and found dif- ferent, the purchase of the North Grimsby rifle range smells suspic- iously of GRAFT. OSPREY COUNCIL CLOSE CALL FROM SERIOUS FIRE IN LOCAL GARAGE Mr. Delbert Hopkins had his eye- brows singed and hand burned when a fire occurred in McTavish's garage Tuesday evening. He was working on the B. A. gasoline truck repairing the carburetor when suddenly there was a sheet of flame in front of him from the escaping gasoline. He ran into the office for the fire extinguisher and in a moment had the fire under control. He was alone in the garage at the time and his quick work in subduing the flames saved the building from a total loss. L.O.L. COUNTY MEETINP The annual meeting of East Grey County L.O.L. will be held at Max- well Orange Hall, Tuesday, April 25, at 8 p.m. All brethren cordially invit- ed to attend. â€" Milton Irwin, Rec. Sec. A LAST RESORT A reader wrote to the editor for advice. "How can I keep my daugh- ter home?" he asked. "I used to hide her clothes but that doesn't work any more.'' "Hide her lipstick," was the reply. Happiness depends on thoughts, not things. After an elapse of thirty-five years, the Osprey Municipal Council met again in the little Scotch village of Mclntyre. At that time it was cus- tomary to hold the council meetings at the various places in the munici- pality, namely: Maxwell, Singhamp- ton, Feversham, Mclntyre Badgeros and Rob Roy. For some reason, pos- sibly lack of accommodation the meet- ing have been held at the first three places alternately. Even now it is considered by many that under pres- ent day means of travel it would be wise to meet at some one place, bo that anyone having business to trans- act directly with the council would know just where Council was being held. Quite a number of persons was present. Most of them were interest- ed in the opening of the tenders for the tractor power and the crushing and hauling of gravel. For the power tenders, they were tendered at prices from $1.00 per hour to $2.60 per hour, the successful tender being Mr. Jos. Wright of Maxwell at $1.25 per hour. The crushing and hauling of gravel was awarded to Proctor and Deacon uf Honeywood at a flat rate of 54 cents per yard. Mr. John Lougheed of the Wareham Junior Farmers' Club was present and asked for a grant to his Club in aid of the Farm and Home Improve- ment program which they are spon- soring. He presented his request in a clear cut way and convinced the Council that a donation should be made. This was granted to the ex- tent of ten dollars. By-law No. 7, to bonus the erection of wire fences along township roads, was read the required number of times and passed. A copy of this by-law will be mailed upon request to any ratepayer who contemplates erecting a wire fence with the object of applying for a bonus. In accord- ance with its provisions, the party must first make application to the Council for permission to erect the fence and after its erection and com- pletion must make application for the bonus on forms which will be provided by the Clerk or Road Superintendent. General accounts ordered paid were: A Richardson, relief, $16.00; L. Ham- bly, relief, $10.00; Jas. Izard, relief, $12.00; J. Dobson, wood for Mrs. Springgay, $6.00; J. H. Hammill, re- lief account for Mrs. Bannerman, $2.70; E. J. Walters, relief account for Mrs. Bannerman, $10.00; B. Cam- eron, relief wood for Mrs. Banner- man, $5.75; J. 'W. Robinson, wood foi A. Richardson, $8.00; H. Sipperall, relief account for T. Hannon, $23.08; Township of CoUingwood, relief ac- count for H. Marsden, $18.80; Treas- urer of Town of Meaford, relief ac- count for S. McDonald, $7.25; Muni- cipal World, office supplies, $5.60; C. N. Long, Old Age and Mother Al- lowance applications, $6.25; Treasurer 'Wareham Junior FaVmers' Club, do- nation, $10.00. Road Superintendent McKenzie pre- sented Voucher No. 4, amounting to ?166.80, which was ordered paid. Council adjourned to meet at Max- well on Saturday, May 13th, at 2 p.m. The brink of Niagara Falls is re- ceding at the rate of two and a half feet per year.

The Liberal party can now give him every assistance and yet keep their loyalty beyond reproach, which, in our oddly constituted country, would hardly have been possible had the Liberals taken the initiative. Denton Massey made a four hour speech on unemployment, in which he mercilessly criticised the policy and speech of the Hon. Norman Rogers, Minister of Labor, charged that thous- ands of transients had died from "ex- posure; illness, starvation and lack of care," and made eleven constructive suggestions to increase employment Admittedly, four hours is too long for any speech but, forgetting that defect, it was excellent, and he stood his ground well when assailed by gov- ernment supporters on his charge that thousands of transients had died from neglect. There is no doubt that very many have died; how many, nobody knows. Do we not read in the newspapers every few days of the death of transients, killed while "riding the rods" and so many maim- ed for life in the same way? My conversation with many transients has convinced me that "exposure, illness, starvation and lack of care" has tak- en a fearful toll. The eleven suggestions were: 1. Extensive development of the Northwest Territories. 2. Large scale affortestation and reforestation. ('While he was speak- ing Mr. Rogers' department announc- ed a national forestry programme in connection with youth training to the extent of one million dollars.) 3. Water conservation and flood control. 4. . Development of tourist attrac- tions, including highway improvement. 5. A co-operative nation -wide housing plan with Dominion, Provinc- ial and Municipal governmeiits par- ticipating. 6. An effective youth re-establish- ing programme, including technical and vocational education and national scholarships. 7. Establishment of camps along the lines of the C.C.C. camps in the United States. 8. An improved employment ser- vice under the direction of the federal government. 9. Co-operation with private cap- ital along the line of internal econ- omic adjustments, 10. An intensive nation-wide pub- licity campaign to restore confidench in business and industry and open up new jobs. 11. A dominion-provincial-municip- al conference under the chairmanship of some outstanding empire figure like the Earl 'Willingdon to map out a social reform programme and bring the present economic system up to date. Constructive suggestions are always helpful, even if not all new. LET THOSE EYESORES BE SWEPT AWAY If there is one thing which has done more to make the town of Walk- erton more beautiful and inviting in the past twenty years it is the re- moval of those many unpainted, dil- apidated and unsightly barns and board fences which were once the oc- cupants of every yard. These out- structures had served their purpose in the horse and buggy, cow and calf era and were falling down from want of repair and attention. They made the residential sections of the town look like a back woods village and they harbored innumerable rats and other plagues as well as being a fire menace. 'We were glad to see the most of them go during the last decade but there are still some eyesores which need a little attention. We wonder if it would be too much to ask those citizens who allow dilapidated gar- ages to stand on their properties, to try and make them look more tidy. There are not many in town â€" but the few there are look all the more out of place because of this fact. We would like to see them straightened up, painted and made more present- able by the addition of a few climb- ing rose bushes. â€" Walkerton Herald- Times.

The depressed market this past winter was caus- ed by an exceptionally heavy production the previous summer, the cheese market being- low was largely responsible for the heavy surplus of butter. This coming season the Government is seriously consider- ing bonusing the cheese industry and that is why we are looking for a fair or even a good butter market.

The barber was very cheerful and chatty as he lathered the customer's chin. "No, Sir," he said "I used to give credit, but I don't now. In fact nobody asks for it now." "How's that?" "Well, sir, I once had a set of cus- tomers who used to ask me to chalk it up, but they kept me waiting so long that I got tired of keeping books and started a new system. Whenev- er I shaved one of them I put a little nick in his nose and kept tally that way. It Svas wonderful how soon they returned to the old plan of pay- ing for each shave at the time." The customer's voice trembled a little as he said "Do you object t« being paid in advance?"

MACPHAIL. A CORRECTION In Miss Macphail's article last week an error occurred in reporting the speech of Premier Bracken of Mani- toba which was given at Montreal. The corrected sentence is: "One third of the people of Canada live on land and receive only one sixth of the national income,f in place of one third of the income as reported. Saturday April IBth, 1939. EQUINE INTELLIGENCE One day recently a Carrick farmer left his team standing outside a store in Mildmay where he was making a brief call, and when he came out he found his team was already a block distant. From the conduct of one horse it was evident that the prospect of a warm stable and a feed of hay and oats provided a sufficient urge for its behaviour. The other, a lofty headed anintal, had an instinct ^hat it was doing wrong in allowing itself to be pulled along by its worldly minded mate, and several times it looked directly back intp the sleigh as if to enquire concerning its owner, who by that time was hurrjring after his team. When the owner got with- in shouting distance he yelled "whoa'', and the high-headed horse came to an immediate stop, and its mate had to do likewise. There is undoubtedly such a thing as horae-sense. PATIENT: "What's the difference between rheumatism ana gout?" DOCTOR: "Well just put your thumb in a vise and screw it so tight that you can no longer endure it. That's rheumatism. Give it one more turn and .that's gout."
