V V VOL. 61 ; NO. 19 FLESHERTON. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 8, 1941 W. H. Thurston & Son, Props. PRESENTATION TO MR. AND MRS. MERVYN MeFADDEN " " T-^wr , j!SB. Around 25 friends and neighbors gathered in the Fraternal Hall on Friday night to spend a few social hours with a recent bride and groom, Mr. and Mrs. Mervyn McFadden (Marion Wickens). The young couple were presented with a gate-leg table and four chairs and best wishes for a long and happy wedded life. Miss Iva Brown read the address in the form of a poem, it being signed on behalf of the friends by Iva Brown, Wes Littlejohns, Thelma Miller and Mrs. Ward Harrison. It would seem that the old saying "the pen is mightier than the word," is soon to be replaced with "a drop of oil is mightier than the sword.

"It's your water pump," says the mechanic. "We can have a new one on in a jiffy won't hold you up long." Only a water pump perhaps assembled in Oshawa or Windsor from parts made in half a dozen different towns yet it fits to a T when this Manitoba mechanic puts it on a car from Nova Scotia.
