Together w^e have carried on a successful ex- periment) in genuine democracy â€" no party funds or party discipline has come betv^een us. Without remuneration other than your satis- faction of enjoying the privileges of democratic citizenship, you have carried â€" cheerfully and effectively â€" the work of organizing the poll, the meetings (fifty in this campaign) advancing our ideag in conversation with others, and the highly important job of getting the vote polled. It has been a brave and glorious adventure which has brought hope to countless people who live far from us. Many M.P.'s have said to me : "The people in your riding are remarkable ; they don't have to be bought by jobs, promises and patronage." Grey-Bruce gives me faith that the 'better Canada' we envision (the Canada of security and the 'Good Life for all) can be achieved. Whatever I have been able to accomplish has been inspired by mv oride in and gratitude to you, the electors of Grey-Bruce. Yours very sincerely, AGNES C.

Net operating profit was |1,0;57.65. While cost 01 power increased over $600.00, rev- enue from all sources increased con- siderable, despite the fact that there was a substantial decrease in the cost to the consumer, in all classes of usei-s, and the consumers benefited by a lO*?'.: rebate last year. Unpaid debentures are $1914.70. with one de- benture, the last of one series paid since then. There remains 6 more debentures to be paid in the second series. During the past year the spent ove'i- $1500.00 in reconditioning the system, which was quite a. benefit to the consumer, in better voltage, and decreased local radio interference, and it is the in- tention of the commission to recon- dition another portion this year.

Field, secretary of the Flesherton Old Boys and Girls Association. A meeting of the Executive of Flesherton Old Boys and Girls As- sociation was held at the office of the secretary on Tuesday evening, March 13, 1940. It was unanimouslv decided to hold a Euchre and Dance late in April, probably at Columbus Hall, this date being selected to admit of safer driv- ing conditions for the benefit of Flesherton friends who may wish to make the trip to Toronto. Matters have not developed to the stage where a definite date can be set, but further notice will be issued as soon as possible. It was also decided to hold the Annual Meeting of the Association â- \t King St. United church. King St. East, on ThursJav evening, March 28. 1940, at 8 p.m. This meeting Is being thrown open to all members of the Association or not. and it is hoped thev will respond in large num- bers. The election of officers for the ensuing year will take place, and as there are several vacancies to be â- illed this year, the larger the at- tendance the better the selection can be made. It is important that care be taken to select those only who are willing and in a position to give their best efforts to this most worthy cause, and I would urge everyone in- â- ^erested in the affairs of the Associa- 4on to make a supreme effort to be -resent and lend their help in pro- •loting the well-heir- of your A.s- •ociation. Thanking you in advance There was a strike of choir mem 't the use of your space in the .A.d- bers in a church at Kingston thus vance. strikin*" something that sounded like â€" Burton E. Field, secretary. I a sour note. A one day conference on Health Services, believed to be unique in Ontario, was held in Flesherton, on Saturday, March 9th, when a repre- sentative gathering of leaders in farm organizations and other inter- ested folk were present from Grey and Bruce counties. This conference was sponsored by the continuing committee of Saugeen Folk School. The meeting was opened by .-Vrt Haas of Holstein, who gave a very interesting talk on '"VVhy Health Services?" using recent research figures to bring home very forcibly the fact that we need a different sys- tem of Health Sei-vices in Ontario. W. G. Nicholson of North Bruce explained the \;onstitution of the "Associated Medical Services" and told how they give medical care and hospitalization at a set fee per month. Hugh Bailey of Dundalk, president of the first Co-operative Packers, Barrie, discussed different schemes whereby we could pay for our med- ical care through Consumer Co-oper- atives. The first speaker in the afternoon session was Mrs. W Inkster, Ware- ham, who took the subject "State Medicine" and referring to Western Canada, told us how township units might be carried on. In the absence of Leonard Harman. educational secretarv of the United Farmer's Co-operative Co.. Toronto. Clifford Allen, Flesherton, led the discussion on co-operative medicine, referring to United States where many Co-operative Health Associa- tions are in operation. A period was then given to open discussion when the merits and weak places of each system were thorough- ly considered. The meeting was un- animous in its approval of Co-opera- tive Medicine as beinw the most adaptable to our rural areas. The group decided to lend its support and influence into organization of one particular community and after care- ful consideration decided to center their activities on the Wareham dis- trict. The following committee wa? appointed to continue the work: Cliff Allen, Flesherton; Hugh Bailev. Dundalk; Art Haas. Holstein; Adel- aide McCullough, Proton Station and Elgin McCuteheon, Proton Station. It was decided that the first step should be an intensive educational campaign. We ask fhat you give the commit- tee your support in helping to or- ganize something which will give the people medical services at cost.

Maxwell Couple Are Z' 45 Years Married The family of Mr. and Mrs. David Winters of .Maxwell gathered at their home Wednesday, March 13th, to have a little surprise party and sup- per with them on their 45th wedding day. Mrs. Winters before her mar- riage was .\nnie Mclnnes of Mc- Intyre. Guests numbering about thirty sat down to a table centred with a three storey cake decorated with silver and red. After a social evening together their daughter, Mrs. Harvey Pedlar (Annie) read ' the following address, after which their eldest son, William and young- est son, Clarence, presented them with a lovely occasional chair, while Lillian Winters carried a nice wool cushion and Michael Winters a tout stool as a small remembrance from their family of nine children, four sons and five daughters. Mr. and Mrs. Winters thanked them for the lovely givt of remembrance. Dear Mother and Dad; We your children hav3 gathered here with you this evening to do honor to you on this your forty- fifth wedding anniversary. First of all we wish to o.xtend to you our hearty congratulations. To you who have lived as life partners for these many years,. and have borne faithfully the jnany burdens and shared the same joys of this life, we feel you have shared them equally and bravely. We realize that on our part, there were many shortcomings, and your care and devotion, which only Dad and Mother can give are beyond our ability to repay. Seeing that the Giver of all Good things has granted you the privilege of seeing us all grow to manhood and womanhood and take our different places in life, we. as men and women wish to say thank you, and as a token of our appreciation we ask you to accept this small gift, not for its material value but as our wa" of expressin<r our gratitude to vou, honing vou will enjoy many of the coming years to- gether, may we conclude with the following linos: THE ZIGZAG P.\TH We climbed the heights by a zigzag Dath, .\nd wondered why â€" until We understood i<- was made zigzag To hreak the force of the hill. A road straight up would prove too steep For the traveller's feet to tread; The thought was kind in the wise design Of a zigzag path instead. 'Tis often so in our daily life â€" We fail to understand That the twsting way our feet must tread Bv love alone was planned. Then murmur not at the winding path; It is our Father's will To lead us home by the zigzag path To break the force of the hill. (CoUingwood & Dundalk papers phase copy.)
