EDITOKIAL COMMENT 111 shame for the heavy storms, March went out like a lamb. The spring thaw commence<i Friday and the first robin we heard was on Mon- *!ay morning. Sap's runnin'. So suy some of those who tapped on Monday. A good yield of syrup is expected this year. • • • • The defeat of Miss Agnes Macphail in the federal election last week re- moves from public life one of the best representatives South Grey, later Grey-Bruce, ever had. She was active in the interests of her constituents, the farming community and the labor- ing man, and she bent every effort in furthering the work of those citizens. Her activities in the interests ol young people received the plaudits ol many. Her work for agriculture showed that she had a keen grasp of the difficulties besetting this import- ant phase of Canadian life and work- ed for and backed co-operative enter- prises amongst the farmers. Her 18 years as a member of Parliament from this riding were years for study and research for her. First elected in 1921 at the height of the U.F.O. wave of popularity, she was returned at four following elections by sub- stantial majorities. Her defeat at this election was by a young Liberal from Markdale, Walter E. Harris â- who has a brilliant future ahead of him and who should make a first class representative for this riding. We hope that Miss Macphail will be able to take her place in some position where her special talents could be directed toward the improvement of farming conditions in Canada. • • * • The Flesherton Old Boys' and Girls Association has been in operation for over ten years a^d is still in a healthy condition, attributable to a great ex- tent to the enthusiasm of several meonlbers of the Association. One of these was the secretary, Burton E. Field, who has held his position since the organizatioin of the Old Home Week committee in 1929. Each year he has been working hard for the well-being and continued interest of the members and that he was suc- cessful is shown in the fact that no other old boys or girls a!;sociation has kept operating as long as that of the Flesherton Association in Toronto. While Burt had a great deal to do with its succciis, there were othci members of the executive who gave uf their time and talents and their efforts are appreciated, as there is 110 better organization available to keep green the friendships of those who have resided in Flesherton and Mstiict and who left for other fields III with a warm spot in their hearts Tor everything Flesherton and theii ili'sire to keep in touch with frit-nds .if former days, can be gratified through this Association. Burt Field was elected president at the recent meeting in Toronto, a recognition of the great value he has been to the .Association. Hilliard LeGard, the newly elected secretary, is a son of Fred LeGard, although not born in Flesherton, has always had the best interest of the Association, and has attended and worked to make the yearly gatherings the successes they have been. We are sure that HiUiard's enthusiasm will carry the Flesherton Old Boys' and Girls' Association along to greater effectiveness and useful- ness it its work amongst former ritizens. WAREHAM Well, March with its blockaded elec- tion is gone, and maybe it wasn't exactly a lion, but its name was Leo, and it was a black one. Owing to very bad roads the mail has been delivered irregularly lately. Sometimes it comes in the morning, sometimes later. Great credit is due the faithful mail carriers, who get through these days. Miss Ruth Hargrave spent her Easter vacation with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hargrave. No service was held in the church on Sunday.

NOT GOOD FOR DRESSES The regimental tailor had quite a time of it putting Pte. Israel Roddy's kilt back in satisfactory condition Friday. The private in the Essex Scottish Regiment reported to the police several days ago that his uniform was stolen from his car. It is believed that someone, not knowing that the regimental kilt has part of its pleats cut away at the top so as not to make the soldiers middle too bulky, ripped it apart to make half a dozen dresses. Once taken apart, the material in the kilt was found to be useless, police think, and was discarded, to be found by a milk driver and returned to barracks. The tailor admitted that it was sonle task. iiiiiii mumMmn iiiiiiiiii nm i nnummn It Pays to Deliver Your Cream, Eggs, Poultry WHERE YOU ARE ASSURED OF AN ALL YEAR ROUND MARKET AT THE HIGHEST PREVAILING PRICES.

"MoUie," said the prettier of the two "would a stocking hold all you would like for Christmas?'' "No," said the other, "it wouldn't. But a pair of socks would." AVOID MARCH ELECTIONS Iteports from all parts of Western Ontario show that the roads, outside of the main highways, are in an almost impassable condition. This is true of most of Ontario and across Canada and winter conditions still prevail. The result was that thous- ands of people, through no fault of their own, were disfranchised. It is unfortunate that many citizens were unable to cast their ballot. It is to be hoped that in the future this time of the year is avoided for election dates. Only once before was there an election held in March and this was the election of 1801. There have been however, l-ieveral winter elections, notably the election of l'.M7, which was held in Deoemlur. In that case Parliament had run on! and a winter election was unavoidable. Ii t'^s l>ei'n said th.nt the first goal for every young man .should l>e t.i •><»y his own way.
