FIRST DRAW HELD â- ^ WEDNESDAY NIGHT The first draw, held every other Wednesday night in Flesherton by the Buiiine5s Men's Association, occurred on Wednesday evening of last week and Mr. Harry Akins was the winner of a dollar bill from the Association, a bag of flour from F. H. W. Uickling and the payment of $2.62 by the Flesherton Creamery, the same am- ount as their cream cheque for cream brought in that day. The creamery has enlarged their special prize to in- clude all cream brought to the cream- ery any time during Wednesday. Others who won a dollar bill in the draw were Jas. McFadden and Mrs. Wallah Hamilton of town, Mrs. Ed. Loucks, Arthur Chard and Jas. Ker- ton. Those whose names were drawn and were not in town were: R. J. Wilson, Bryce Hanley and Percy Magee. Harold Hunilton Had Arm tV Caught In Wringer A distressing accident befel Master Harold Hamilton of town Tuesday morning, when his arm was caught in the wringer of the washing mach- ine, while his mother's back was turned for a moment. His arm was drawn between the rollers almost to his shoulder and the flesh was bruis- ed and in a couple of places had broken. It is not thought, how^ever, that any bones were broken, but the accident would be very painful to the little fellow. Gospel WiH^ers' Church Feversham. Out. Rev. C. McNichol, Pastor SUNDAY.

News From Parliament (By W- E. Harris, M.P.) In the course of getting acquainted with the members, I have met Mr. W. J. Ward (Dauphin, Man.) who was brought up on the 4th Concession of Sullivan, and Mr. H. W. Winkler of Lisgar, Man., whose parents origin- ally came from Neustadt. I am rather surprised to find that we have those two members from this Riding, and if Mr. Mcintosh of Dornoch had been re-elected in Saskatchewan, we would probably have some kind of record for Grey-Bruce. On Tuesday the war news was worse again, in view of the surrender of the Belgians, and everyone appre- ciated the Prime Minister's request that he be permitted to absent him- self from the House. During the day he made confidential disclosures to the leaders of the Conservative Party in the House and Senate, and to Mr. Coldwell and Mr. Blackmore, leaders of the C.C.F. and Social Credit groups. This course was decided upon in order not to hold a secret session of the House, as dunng the last war, secret sessions were not successful and dtiring this war, when they were held in Great Britain, the result was only to allay public feeling and not to prod\ice any real change in the plans of the Government. Dr. Bruce of Parkdale, who enjoys a distinction unique in the annals of Parliamentary life in the Empire, in that he is the only man who entered the House of C-ommons after being the King's Representative, has made a special point of attacking Mr. La- pointe on the question of subversive elements. Mr. Lapointe's patience finally gave out Wednesday and he told the House that up to the meeting of Parliament two weeks ago, he had been attacked by members of all parties and most of the public press on the grounds that the Defence of Canada Regulations were too string- ent and that now he is being attacked because they were not stringent enough. He also pointed out that under the Constitution it is the duty of the .\ttomey-General in each Pro- vince to prosecute anyone infringing the Regulations, and that in times past he had been toW by more than one Attorney-General that he should stay out of the picture.

It's a wise m«in who knows of a word to use in place of one he cant apeU. â€" so that question is settled. On Wednesday, despite the extreme gravity of the position of the British army, the House reflected a spirit oi optimism which I have not seen since we came here â€" what accounts for it I do not know â€" perhaps it is that the worst is upon us and is not as bad as we had feared. Mr. Hanson has shown considerable adroitness and has demonstrated that the lack of members in the Opposi- tion is not an indication of their fighting strength. He shows a re- markable insight into technical fea- tures of legislation, but he is em- barrassed by one of his followers who speaks on every conceivble subject every time he can catch 'he Speaker's eye. There is one, at least, m every party. As an indication of the diversity of interests in the House, Dr. Bruce attacked the Government for not tak- ing more drastic action against sev- eral organizations which he alleged were of Communistic origin, and Mrs. NeUson arose and complained bitterly because the police raided the head- quarters of one of these organiza- tions and demanded their papers be rettirned. It seems that this is Democracy. Plans are now almost completed for the opening of recruiting stations for the Third and Fourth Divisions, the Home Guard and other veterans' org- anizations and in the next two or three weeks the armed foi-ces in Can- ada should increase by over 35,000 in addition to those called up for the air force. The original Common- wealth .\ir Training Plan looked for- ward to production of airplanes and training of pilots, conwnencing next year, and reaching its peak in 1942, but we now have to change our plans, and it is expected that most airdromes and airports will be ready this f»ll, and all forrus of training immediately undertaken. The Grey and Simcoe Foresters has been named for the Fourth Division, so that the County of Grey will oiK-e more enlist men to defend the Empire. May they prove as worthy and successful as the 147th and the 248th Battalions. The Advance Starts/- 1 Canadian Won D.F.C. Publishing 60th Year We have passed the resolution for the seven hundred million appropria- tion for the war effort in the full knowledge that we will probably spend nine hundred million dollars. The estimates for ordinary expenditure have been reduced about one hundred million dollars below last year, but even so, we shall spend something over one billion two hundred million dollars. There are practically no public works being continued this year and we are satisfied that the public will understand why that is done. The grants to agricultural fairs have been discontinued for the present also. The controversy still rages as to the making of tanks and Mr. Howe told us that the British Government originally agreed to supply tanks and to have some made here but that they have cancelled these plans and pre- sumably we shall have to make tanks ourselves. Even at that, we shall have to in4>ort some of the steel. It is now cleared up that the firm in Ham- ilton so anxious and capable ol mak- ing 250 tanks per month didn't know the difference between a Bren carrier and a tank (aboot $30,000 actually) With this issue The .Advance has entered upon another milestone in its history, when it commences the 60th year of publishing in Flesherton. During that time there have been oi&y three editors at its head. It was 60 years ago tirat the late A. R. Fawcett, an old Euphrasia boy and brother of M^s. H. Down of Flesherton, com- menced a small newspaper to repre- sent this growing community and advertise its benefits to the people at large. On .\ugust 1, ldS8, the late Willard H. Thurston, a Kimberley old boy, purchased the business from Mr. Fawcett and conducted The .\d- vance for 50 years, until August Ist. 1938, when he turned over the editor- ial reins to the present editor. The village has been transformed during that time from mud roads ^nd wooden sidewalks, with cows pasturing on the streets, until totfeiy we have a modem village with paved main streets and cement sidewalks, first class stores and a population twice the size of that boasted when the paper started 59 years ago. The circula- tion has advanced from a couple of hundred shortly after the paper was started until today we have a sworn circulation of 1J275 copies each week. During that time there have been many weekly papers in communities .\n interesting item of interest to Osprey residents appeared in the daily press recently when it wajs aimounc- td that Pilot Officer Lawrence Lath- am Jones of Saskatoon, ask Sask., had been awarded the Distinguishe<t Fly- ing Cross, being decorated for out- standing "gallantry and devotion to duty." Pilot Officer Jones is a grandson of the late W. L- B. Ham- lin and Mary Hamlin of Port Credit and is also a nephew of Mr. Gwrge Burke of Feversham. The late Mr. Hamlin 'xni a former storekeeper at Maxwell in the building now occupied by Herb Poole. Jones went to Eng- land in 1937 by way of a free trip on railway box cars from, the west and working his way overseas on a cattle boat, and enlisted in the Royal Air Force, with which he has siven high class service. Many Canadians have received decorations for their work against the enemy sky fliers. Conduct Of People Aflords Satidaction ModefD Sound Studio Built In Flesherton ^c This past week Mr. John Cook has completed a new deluxe mobde sound studio, the only one of its kind in the world, for use in 'oroadcasting work. The studio is a mobile stage 16 feet long. S feet wide and 74, feet given a good measure of support by the business men, and at the same time the editors gave time and space in the newepaper columns in an effort to advance the welfare of the district as a whole. Our loyal staff The conduct of Ontario pe<^le dur- ing the mos/c grave crisis in the his- tory of the British Empire affords a large measure of satisfaction. W'aile we have a Little less cause for panic than those members of the Empire who face imminent danger of an in- vasion of their shores by Hitler and his Germans, the events of the past month have been for us, too, a test of #5urage and ability. The fact that the German thrust has only served w spur this province and the other sections of Canada into a tremendous .lew war effort is at least a comforting situation. With Che temper of the average Canadian citizen as it is now, there is no longer any limit to the size of oar contribution toward the salvation of the British Empire, our .Allies and democracy. When the Germans planes bombed and machine-gunned fleeing women and children from Belgian towns and in order to gei them out into the roads and block the military forces of the .\llies. he provided more than enough incentive to bring the Can- adian Sgitting sipirit to the boiling point. When the stupid German de- liberately blasted to bits Canada's V'imy memorial to her sixty thousand dead, and then returned to plow up the sacred cemeteries with bombs, in the spirit of a mad man's revenge, he steeled hearts in the Dominion to punish the fiend as he has never been pcmished before.

Miss Irene Morrison was brides- maid and wore turquoise blue chiffon with pink roses and Joyce Brooks and splendid work. To make a paper a success the publisher has to have the good-will of its readers and generous patronage of its advertisers and those in the need of job work, the local office being able to turn out good work at reasonable rates, thereby keeping an industry going in the village and assisting ip the payment of the village taxes and other com- munity enterprises.

Thank you. common view-point is crystalizing into something close to this: Whj' trj :o keep a balanced budget, if by so .ioing we run the danger of losing the country? So Ottawa keeps on increasing war expenditures to a scale that makes the last Canadian war effort seem small by comparison, and none turns a hair. Individual contributions of money are pouring in for the pur- chase of war material. Tlie Depart- ment of Defence opens ap recruiting and young men beseige the recruitin^r offices. Hundreds of veterans of the great wTir apply for membership in the Home Guard. Canadian imitators o-f Hitler and Mussolini and their staffs are tossed into jail. The public clamors for the suppression ot the Communists. .Any question of the urgent need 9o deal with fifth column elements in Canada was dispelled last week when a Communist was caught trying to cut Ilv-dro wires, and National Soc- ialists, under Farr and .Arcand, were discovered to have uniforms and emblems and thousands of panrphlets readj- for distribution.
