H. W. HicUmg General Merchant • FLESHERTON Mfs. John Aldcorn Passes On Wednesday morning, Feb. Uth, one of the oldest residents of Swin- ton Park district, in the person of Mrs. John Aldoom, was called home. Mrs. Aldcorn's maiden name was Agnes Brown and she was born at Valcartier, Que., and as a child moved with her parents to Howick Town- ship, seven miles west of Harriston. On March 2l8t, 1S63, she was married to John Aldcorn and settled on their farm at BoothvUle comer, Egremont. Eight years later they moived to Lot 2, Con. 17, Proton, where they farm- ed, until 25 years ago this month they moved to Swinton Farki Here in tdieir "Wee hoose by the side of the road, both were a friend to man." iMrs. Aldeom was an active mem- ber in the Presibyterian Church and two years aga w«« presented with a life membership by the WjMjS. Until three yean ago she was aible to take her part in all church and social act- ivities of the community, Since the passing of her husband in July, 1941, she has lived among her three daugh- ters, Mrs. Wm. MoMiMan of Fleaaer- ton, Mrs. Jas. Kennedy of Shelburne and Mrs. Ed. Heard of Salem, and it was at the home of the latter that death came. Though growing frail in the last two years, her mind was alert and she took great joy in the lirea of those arovmd her and, though lonely for the one who had gone before, she was able to adapt herself to her changed surroundings and w»s never idle. For many years her handiwork will be cherished. Knitt- ing for grandsona and many others in the Armed Foroes was her chief delight and only in the last month was she entirely nnable to do her bit In the aheence of her minister, Rev. C. D. Cox of Priceville conduct- ed funeral services at the house and grave on Friday, Feb. 11th. He chose as his text the latter part of verse 13 from the 2€th chapter of Matthew; "this, that this woman hath done, shall be told for a memorial for her," and in a material sense, as well as spiritual, the words were very apt. His message conveyea comforting thoughts to those left to mourn and his closing poem was so appropriate that it will long be treasured. She always leaned to watch for us, Anxious if we were late In winters by the window, In summer by the gate. And thugh we mocked her gently Who had such foolish care, The long way home would seem more safe Because she waited there. Her thoughts were all so full of us She never could forget. And so I think, that where she is. She must be watching yet. Waiting 'til we come home to her. Anxious if we are late, Watching from Heaven's window. Leaning from Heaven's gate. Eleven grandchildren and 10 great- gmndchildren will long remonuber a well-loved grandmother. Besides those mentioned, a brother of 90 ye^irs, Wm. Brown of Elora, is left to mourn. He waa able to be present at the service in the house. Other were present from Fordwich, Elora, Mt. Forest, Priceville, Badjeros, Cor- betton, Melancthon, Shelburne and Toronto. Four grandchildren and a nephew carried the flowers, among the tokens of love and sympathy being a wreath from Swinton Park W.M.S., and a wreath from the Salem Ladies' Aid. iSix nephews were pallbearers ; Will and Lindsay Brown of Fordwich, Bert and Chas. Haw of Swinton Park, Wm. Aklcorn of Mt. Foi^st and Wm. Aldcorn of Badjeros. â- r jjjtfi. STRANGE RESULTS An exchange notes that the mild weather of the past two months has been i"esponsible for some strange happenings, and one of the strangest is told in a story from Alberta. Thousands of ducks, that would nor- mally have migrated from the prairie provinces several months ago, but have not, because they found the veather where tbey were to their lik- ing, are raiding grair stored 'n southern Alberta. A Raymond, Alta., farmer estimated that between five and ten thousand mallards cleaned out his barley stocks which he plan- ned would feed his hoge and cattle during the next few moaths. The ducks have been doing their feeding at night in order to attract as little attention as possible. It is estimated a mnllard can eat as much as a pound of barley in one night. Coal Has Big Role "Did you ever stop to realize to what extent coal is necessary in the present war? This was a quesition asked by a prominent coal man visit- ing Ottawa the other day. While most Canadians agree on the import- ance of coal in keeping their homes warm and know that every precau- tion should be taken to conserve coal in the present emergency, very few realize that coal also takes its pljce in every battle of the war. Without coal, battleships and tugs poiwered by oil, and airplanes and jeeps running by the grace of gaso- line, would be immobilized. Without coal, tte world's steel mills could not be fed with the raw materials which are necessary to make those battle- ships and tugs, airplanes and jeeps. The value that the United Nations place on coal was indicated by a re- cent dispatch from the Pacific war zone telMng of an intense American bmbing of various Japanese-controll- ed coal properties in China. Prior to this particular property a large tonn- age of coking coal for her steel mills. Most commonly know as a fuel, and so important to the steel mills of the Dominion as well as for warmth in Canadian homee, coal is also an al- most inexhaustable storehouse of chemicals. In ordinary bituminooa coal tiiere are constituents of ex- plosives for bombs, shells and torpe- does, plasUcfl of many types, food preservatives fertiliEers, insecticides, dyes and many other products. In recent years oni the bottom< of some plastic gadgets, or on a bottle of insecticide, the words "Made From Coal" often apipear. To many peoj^e this has proved a bit puzzling. Actu- ally it means that one of several sulbstances used in making the i^arti- cular product or ornament is in turn' made from one or more of the sever- al derivatives of coal. Nylon is a versatile member of coal's large family. Many medicines come from coal . . . actually coal- tar chemicals'. The new sulpha drugs are an outstanding example and as- pirin or acetylsalicyclic acid, as it is known to the profession, is another. In war products here and in the United States, coal-derived plastics are replacing tons of precious crude rubber. These particular plastics are used for coating army raincoats, hos- pital sheeting, ylectric wiring insula- tion, for hand K'rtnr.des and foi' radio antennae on Unitt iN.itions' aircraft. When some anti-frceze are nut i the car, when the family furnitur*^ i^: given a brush up with various types of lacquer or synthetic enamel, when the new water-repellent curtains are hung in the bathroom, these are all through the courtesy of Old King Coal. SPEND, SUCKER, SPEND The girl friend thought he was very magnetic because everything he wore was charged. An advertisement puiblished by Tip Top Tailors, Ltd., with the aibove ca(ption appeared in Toronto dailies recently. It has incited a lot of cotn- ment beause the article is so indisputalble. The text was origin- ately written by Ralph de Casitro for. Savings Banks of New York. Because of the problems dealt with it is just as applicable to Canada as to the United States, and Tip Top Tailors, Ltd., is to be commended for giving it increased publicity. The substance of the article is meant to reprimand the person who is sipeiuling money lavishly just be- cause he or she is today enjoying a Ijeriod of prosperity. The author points out that luxuries, including autojnolbiles, refrigerators, radios, furniture, jewellery, fine clothes, slocks bought on margin, etc., etc., are too often purchased by people during a wave of prosperity and eventually sacrificed when the days of prosperity are over. The terrible crash of 192S) is held up as an example of what is pretty sure to follow this war. The writer points out that our Government is urging us to save now to ward oflf disaster in the period after the war. To summarize, it is pointed out that the sane, patriotic citizen is the one who is living as economical as if he or she were in financial difficulties, at the same time invesrting in Gov- ernment Bonds and War Savings Certificates as a protection for the rainy day which is inevitable after the war. We're 'all sinners' but a lot de- pends on whether or not we quit bluffing about it. Reamg some of these hit songe 90 often makes one wish they had missed. â- X.J-JL y^/c&u'^ y '-W 'J- ROOM FPR EVERYBODY.
