King George VI maintains the closest touch with th develop ments. new techniques, and changing tactics of the British services. His Majesty is seen here with staff offic- ers watching troop manoeuvers in ar East England Command. "Long after Naziism is dead and stamped out of the world, Spring will dress the earth with her flowers and Summer will warm it with her sun- shine and beauty and goodness will survive." GREY, BRUCE RANK HIGH IN HOG BONUS In the grading of hogs, Ontario lead the way by exceeding any other province. Since the Ontario govern- ment subsidy went into tfftct in May last, the province has paid to the farmer in Ontario a total of J243.362.50. Over two-thirds of all the hogs marketed have earned the subsidy. While Simcoe county leads all others, Grey and Bmce counties are well up in the list. Hop- marketed totalled 23,987 in Grey and 20.822 in Bruce, of which 88.09 and 89.16 per respectively, have been approved for the subsidy. rey coanty farmers have received $15,573 in the way of bonuses. In Bruce, the payments have amounted to $13,783. This is a record of which the far mers of this area may well be proud. It shows that they are most careful in the marketing of their hogs and that the grade is high. A swarm of bees which during the summer took refuge in the office of the Seaforth fair grounds, delayed the opening of the show for more than hour.

Many have voiced their intention of joining in the fun, and their names will ap- pear in next week's paper. Mr. Burton E. Field, Toronto, on his yearly Thanksgiving trip for rabbits to this locality left a "booby'' prize in at the B-A Station, to be given to the captain of the losing side at the fowl supper in the United church the same evening. We are wondering what it is? Mr. James Dargaved has inform- ed us that he will be on hand, as he wishes to get practised up ir the hunt up north on which he leaves the next day, if he doesn't eat too much goose at the supper. Mark Wilson is going along with Jim to help carry the rabbits Jim is supposed to have in one of his fox pens. We also hear that Steve Sutton is going along in order to preserve the game and keep order, and to see that there is no illegal exchange of shotguns. We still have no prize for the win- ner, but there is plenty of time yet, and if there is any firm or argani- zation wishing to give a prize, pleas* leave same with Harold Best, at the B-A Service Station. ENGAGEMENT Mr. and Mrs. R. Ivers of Toronto wish to announce the engagement of their younger daughter, Doris, to Mr. Delbert L. Smith, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Smith of Flesh- erton. The marriage will take place in Toronto on October 25th in St Nicholas Anglican Church, 1512 King' ston Rd. ENGAGEMENT The engagement is announced of Jossie Winnifred McMullen, second youngest daughter of Mrs. Mary Mc- Mullen and the late David McMuJlen of Feversham, to Frederick Clinton Wilson, eldest son of Mrs. Louis Wil- son and the late Mr. F. Wilson, Indian Grove, Toronto. The mar- riage will take place the latter part of October. An old timer is a person who can recall when the only man wearing a white jacket was the barber.

It was one of the biggest bruins ever killed in the district. Lance Brownridge and James Hawes, residents of Osprey Town- ship, put an end to the bear with three shots. Residents estimate more than $500 damage has been caused by the bear. Hunters vowed to even the score, and the nightly parties lay in wait for the bear's coming, but not until Tuesday night was any one able to get a sight of the animal long enough to fire a shot. "It was a good thing we got on the job early," said Brownridge later. Monday night we went to Heron's at about 8 o'clock and the bear had been and gone. So Tues- day night we went there just before dusk and a short time later we saw the bear come through a gap in the fence and head for the apairy. We were albout fifteen yards away and 1 fired the first shot just as the bear was in the act of knocking over a hive. Jim fired the second shot and I let go with a third." The bruin was seven feet two inches in length and was hung on a derrick in Mr. Heron's yard, a short distance from the bee yard. It was taken M cold storage at Dundalk, where it can be seen for a time. Hundreds of visitors were at the farm this Wednesday, many of them having their first glimpse of a bear. The men were taking their life in their hands by 'being so close to bruin, as if it had only been wounded in tfie dusk, there might have had a grfmmer ending. However. Mr. Brownridge had a 44-60 rifk lowned to him for the occasion by Mr. Wm. Scutt, who had ussd it foi many years hunting deer in the north country, and one slug would have been enough for the culprit. Idea "Municipal Doctor" Discussed At Meetings The "Municipal Doctor'' system of medical care was discussed at five meetings in the Township of Osprey during the past week, when large crowds attended and considerable in- terest was manifest in the discus- sions. Local doctors from Orange- ville to Markdale were in attendance and gave their opinion, some of it being adverse. Hon. Geo. Hoadley was the guest speaker and gave advice as to the course to pursue in order to have the system tried in Osprey township, a system that has worked well in other provinces. Resolutions were passed, requesting the Ontario government to pass leg- islatioin permitting the trial in the Township of Osprey and a vote of the people will be taken to see whether or not they are in favor of such a system, as the cost would have to be borne by the taxpayers. Many await with Interest the out- come of this agitation, which has been in effect for about two years.
