TROUBLES ARE MANY (By Werehatu Correspondent) Tfouble has been compared to a flock of crows gathering about their victim â€" first one, then another, until the air is full of blackness. Dave Jamieson of Toror^o will probably agree with the idea. In early Febru- ary Dave had three teeth extracted, and laiter had to have his jaw lanced on aocbunt of pus collection. Shortly after his return to work in the rail- road yards he was thrown under a locomotive and lost his left arm. Last week Mrs. Jamieson, while on her way to the hospital to visit Dave, fell and broke her arm, also cutting it. ' At last reports both patients were dfting well.' Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Davison went at once to help the young family. Mrs. Davison is a sister of Mrs. Jamieson. Baptist Cbarch Notes Minister: Rev. Freif Ashton Services â€" Flesherton.

Easter sei-vices in the two Baptist Feversham Indians Semi-Pro. Champions The Late Ernie Boyle . ' â€" y (By Kimberley Correspondent f The many friends of Mr. Ernie Boyle were shocked Saturday morning •March 16th, to learn of his passing in Collingwood hospital, where he had been for some weelcs. He seemed in his usual health, although was a suf- ferer from hay fever and asthma, but lately developed acute rheumatic fever. Mrs. Boyle, formerly Miss Ina Magee, and sister of Mrs. W. Elliott of Markdale, were with him almost constantly. The late Mr. Boyle was born near Markdale and then moved with his ' ^^^""^ -""'"^ ^ ''""'^^^ °^ ^'^^ ^^^ ^"'"" parents to the Valley, where he was I ''"*='"^y ""'' P^^^*^^ ^^^ g'""^ ^°^ ^" married, later moving to New Eng- 1 " """=** '''°'^^- ^ne mstance to show land, and then to the Hortop farm, *^^ ^1""* "^ ^^^ '«'*'" "^'^^ ^^«" »'"' where he was an up-to-date farmer, Pi^y^.f^'^ff^'^ ^_^jj_^;^_* ^'^fY ^^°''' north of Kimberley. He and his fam- i ily were active church workers at the â- , Union Church, and was also a member Fevei-sham Indians are now the 194o holders of the .McDousral Trophy, the cup presented each year to the winn- ers of the Semi-Pi-o. League. Price- ville put up a great scrap in all the games, but at times appeared to oe out-lucked on a number chances. Feversham won three out of the four games played, losing the first one of the series, then taking three straight. The final games in Markdale resulted in a 7-4 win for the Indians. This is Feversham's fii-st year in organized hockey and they did re- markably well during the season. It was a team managed by "Dannie" Sled, with no organized club behind of Beaver Valley Lodge No. 234, A.P. chui-ches were fairly well attended, ] &.4.M., Thornbury. He was also a member of the Rotary Club, secretary of the Collingwood Agricultural Soc- iety, a director of the Plowmen's Association and a representative of a fire insurance company. It is with sorrow we see such a useful life taken so early in life, he was in his 50ith year. He leaves to mourn his passing, his wife, one daughter and three sons, also his sis- ter, Mrs. Walter Elliott, Markdale. The funeral was held from his late residence on Monday afternon. The body will rest in Thornbury mortuary chapel until spring, when it will be removed to be interred in the Mark- dale cemetery. We sincerely sympathize with the bereaved family. considering the inclement weather and roads. In the morning and evening services the choir rendered approp- riate music, and the Communion table was beautifully decorated with Jlaster lilies and daffodils. Mrs. Walter Akitt was the soloist at the afternoon service, rendering very effectively a â-  lovely song "Jesus still remembers you.*' The pastor spoke at the three services on the Resurrection. These • messages were greatly appreciated. United Church MAXWELL CHARGE REV. GEO. L. MERCER, B.D., DJ). Minister SUNDAY, MARCH 31st, 1940 SERVICES: 11 a.m. â€" Eugenia. 3 p.m. â€" Mit.

Enjoy Mysterious Radio Program While in Bush (By Victoria Ckjrners, Corr.) Last Thursday when George and Ted Moore were working in their bush they distinctly and quite loudly heard a radio program for about an hour. They could distingruish some of the pieces which they loiew. They were at a loss to know the origin of this music. It was not from the direction of the highway, nor was anyone work- ing in the busfa nearby who might have had a radio with them. No house was near enough, and it was rather unlikely that doors would be open on a cold day for one hour. After much conjecture it was thought it must be music from the loud speak- er in Flesherton â€" a distance of three miles or more. At first they wond- ered if the air was so full of mu.^it- it did not need an aparatus to cent- ralize it. We wonder if a better ex- planation could be offered? ROADS DELAYED NEWS The Advance has two obituaries of the late Mr. Angus McLachlan of PricevUle, who passed away Thursday of last week, and another of Miss Mary Simpson who died at her home in Priceville March 15, and George Campbell, on Sat., March 23. Due to the late arrival of the copy on account of the bad roads we are unable to publish these articles, so we will have to leave them over until next week.

League, were slow^ in starting they finished with Ceylon in a tie for the last play-off berth, elim- inated the rail-*ay l)oys. they trounced Flesherton, took the first game from Feversham and then were forced to bow to the champions in the next three. The brand of hockey played in this loup has improved the' past few years, and no club showed greater improvement than Priceville during the past four years. The Priceville players were: Goal, Wamick; defence, McLean-and Fi'ook: centre. Bell; wings, E. TurnbuU and D. Turnbull; alternates, McConkey. O'Dell, Carson and Mc Vicar. Price- ville uncovered a splendid player this year in McConkey, who is only 15 years of age and played great hockey, usually gathering from one to four goals in each game. Following is a bit of data on the Feversham players: BOWINS, Parry, son of Mr. Johns- ton Bowins, 21 years old, plays goal and learned his hockey in an out-door rink at Rob Roy. HUDSON, Lloyd, aged 21, plays defence and assists his father, Mr. John Hudson, on the farm near Feversahm. This was his first year playing hockey. MOORE, . Jack, defence, aged 2:i, came from Kingston and is teller in the Bank Of Toronto, Feversham, played some hockey in Kingston. SLED, George (Dannie), learned his hockey in Flesherton where he played senior for several .vears, 26 yars old plays right wing and is doing well it a service station at Feversham. SPRINGGAY, Ronald (Buster), U> years old. plays right wing, son of Mrs. Springgay and the late R. W. Springgay, who was a miller at Fev- ersham, is now employed with R. J. Priestley in Flesherton. SPRINGGAY, .^Ilan. 17 >ears oK plays centre and is a brother of 'Buss LEPARP. Murray, age 17, play.< left wing and is attending fourtl- form in the Continuation School.

Piggy Decides to Continue Dainty Mode of Living (By Victoria Comers Corr.) When pigs become more valuable, how exclusive their tai«tes become. There are a number of young pisrs arriving in this neighborhood and most of them are doing very well, but occasionally some of them need special care and need to be taken into the house. In one house this was the case and a semi-porcelain cap was given porky to drink from. When he was returned to the bam a tin was submitted, but porky absolutely re- fused to dring until he was given his nice cup. W. E. Harris Wins Grey-Bruce Contest WALTER E.

Harris of Markdal^ Liberal candidate in Grey-BnK-e was elected as member of this riding by a major- ity of 869 over Karl D. Knechtel. while Miss Agnes Macphail, who has hehl the riding for the past 18 years fc.'L'ived 3'.I!I0 votes., It was seen on Monday that with the heavy storm Miss Macphail's majority in the rural listricts would be materially reduced, as it was almost impossible for her usual number of supporters to reach the polls to cast their votes. It was expected, however, on election after- noon that Miss Macphail would be de- feated, but it was not thought by so great a" amount. Harris gained on the vote given Dr. Hall in the last election while Knechtel was down on that giv- L-n Dr. CampbeU. Miss Macphail's vole was ;J,2'35 lower than in 1935.

High winds drifted the heavy cuts on th, road almost full of snow, packed it liirht and left the highway unfit for motor traffic and very heavy for ijorse-drawn vehicles. The Flesherton plow was attempting to open the road Sunday and Monday, but the road fill- ed ;n almost as fast .as it wa? plowed Back roads were also well 'filled and made travel very diffi.'ult and brough' the number of electors in rural sec- tions away below that of the forme; election. It was almost impossible for the older people to exorcise their franchise, due to the cold and difficul- ty of travel. 190 206 Macphail majority: 318.
