.Wednesday, Augaist 6, 1947 Tim I^JvWMIERTON ADV.AfrCE ses â- â€¢a" \ Creamery News A new cfeam season is at hand Production is very satisfactory â€" considerably exceed- ing last year's make. As usual we are giving the cream producer the BEST possible pos- sible service and the GREATEST possible returns. Eggs Recently a considerable decline in the grade of eggs has been noticeable â€" due to the warmer weather and to much grass being available to the laying hens. Cutting down on the daily grazing period of the hens, more frequent collections of eggs and rapid cooling of same is, in our opinion, the best solution for a better grade. For your convenience, the Creamery will be open Wednesday and Saturday evenings ten o'clock.

In the address of the day, Lt.-Col the Rev. Sydney Lambert, O.B.E., of Christie Street D.V.A, Hospital, stressed the many reasons for thank- fulness on the part of Canadians, especially those who live in such fav- ored communities as Flesherton. He also urged the importance of practical remembranre expressed in sarrdficial living and service to Canada, and following the great ideal of Him who sacrificed Himself for the sins of the whole world, Ia-(Co1. Uamibert, in his opening remarks, recalled his previous visit to Flesherton, the occasion behig the Dawn Parade when the war mem- orial was dedicated at which he had officiated, when torrents of rain fell all nigiht and dampened the ardor of the Targe crowd present. To the stirring strains of "Onward, Christian Soldiers," followed by the. National Anthem and the Benedic- tion, there came to a close, a service of worship which will long be rem- embered by the citizens of Flesher- ton and surrounding diistriet.

The oalibhumpian parade was the best ever seen in Flesherton and in- clnded many mirth-provoking vehicl- es and individual acts that had the street-liined crowd almost in. hysterics witih their antios and the fimny get- ups. About fiifteen different cost- umes representing Peter Rabbit, Don aid Duok ajnd other well known fun- ny picture names, with their large heads, provided a vardety to the ipar- a3e. One outatandinig float had Jake Williams of Eugenia and Gharlio Pedlar of Neepawa, Man., working at the anvil, both having worked with the late D. MacTavish in the Nine- ties. Darvid Aberdein rode an old high wheel bicycle used in early days which had a small wheel trailing. The older generation will rememnber them well, but this was the first one to be seen on Fleaherton'e streets for maybe b6 years. The Rloharda float depicted several children, the placard reading "Children should be Seen and Not Hurt." Other floats included the Fireside Lunch-, Harold Best, Flesherton Creamery,. Harold RicTiardson's Tranaport, Littlejohns' Ganage, 5c io $1-00 Store, Boyd Bros.. Toronito Sausage. Don Banks, dress- ed in old-time clothes, trundled an old-iffasWoned baby carriaige, whi«fc received) acclaim, and a clown band with Cecil MacTaviah as leader, cap- tivated the crowd. The judges had a most diffioutt time awiarding prizes as so many were wortliy of prizes, hut their sel- ections were not disputed by anyone. The parade went to the pond park wh(.>re ornaimental swimiminp; was dis- played by Miss Jean Mowftt. champ- ion awimimer, and her display was remarkable and enjoyed by the BOO pw>ple present. THE WATER SPORTS Both banks ef the pond were lined by a huge crowd "f spectators, who witnessi'd some excellent omaincniUil svvinrming by Miws Jcnn Mbwat of Poronto, three times winnor o-f t)hp Dominion chaniipionship.

Mrs. Turner is a daughter of the late Senator Dr. T, S, Sproule, Markdale, and grandadughter of W. K, Flesher, the founder of Flesherton.

The originals' Band froifls Toronto engaged for the day, led the parade of ball players and the large crowd to the agricuiltural grounds,- where People's Credit Jewellers and I>uVal», both girls teams from Toronto, play- ed saftlbaJl, the former winningf 11-1 Flesherton and Dundalk locked in a mei^s softlball giaime and Dundalk won 8-4. There were close to 2,000 people on tJhe grounds watching the- giames. Bill Townsend of Shelbume ma<fe two parachute jumps close to the grounds. On his first jump he just missed the hydro wires south of Mr. Chris. Thomson's gate and then in- jured his left lee when he hit the- telephone line on the op(posite side of Ithe road. He made another jump later in the afternoon and again in- jured bis leg when he came down be- side the south side of the grounds. He spent Tuesday fn hospital, bu(t wiis on the job Wednesday.
