Thurston & Son, Publishers, Ficisherton Pastoral Charge Is Unchanged Contrary to expectatiuns, Grey Presbytery of the United Ohureli has decided to leave the church bound- aries in Flesherton district unchang- ed, for the time being: ai least. This means that the Flesherton chax'ge will gontinue to include Eugenia, Inistioge, and Proton Station, with 300 families under pastoral care. Mr. ^eo. H. Cairns told Rreabytery at its •Hjeetiiig that the decisipji was disappointing _ and that the question would have to be re-opened later. A woman's final uecision seldom tallies with the one immediately fol- lowing it.

It was estimated that 1,500 fisher- men were in Grey County for the week end, as all hotels, cabins etc., were filled to capacity, some havimg to go to Thornbury to receive ac- conimo<lation.

The Forgotten Voters With a provincial election schectal. ed in June, Hanover citizens will now prol)ably get glunpses of theil member of the legislature ai-td a'ly opposing candidates. Hanover )a certainly the forgotten municipality as far as Doiminion or Provincial politicians are concerned. We reiicl about the fine grants for hospital, highway, bridge, community cMrtve and what have you, other municip«J- iiies have received from the provinc* but to date, we haven't noticed much drifting into Hanover, oh the wisgs of any project, although we hare paid our share of the taxes itr others' benefits. Ht>wever, peaiple get pretty Mtwb what they go after, so it's our OWB fault â€" or is it? The greatest threat to d&oaoeiuft today in Hanover and in Ontario is public apathy. Half of our pop»l«- tion seems politically umnfi^nted, immature, irresponsible and indif- feren. Let us all take this comiag elec- tion seriously, as thinking in*iTid- uals concerned in the government of the finest pi^ovince, in the finest country in the world. If every one would do so, we could provide ourselves with the best gov- ei-nment in the world. â€" H«novcr ferent. would be gladly accepted.

Most famii fires occur ill the more L'-'fpeilsive ')uild- ings, the dwelling or barns which often represent 50 per cent of the total investment. Defective chimneys, flues and heating, defective roofs and defective electrical installations, and gas and kerosene »toves, cause iwany of the fires involving fann homes. Most of the fires arising from these causes are preventaible by peiiodic inspection, and replacMnent of faulty equipment. Spontaneous combustion lightning, defective electrical installations, and faulty storm lamiips are among the greatest hazards in barns. Barns can bo male relatively safe with effi- cient lightning protection, and spon- taneous combustion can be reduced to a minimum by not mowing hay or storing grain which is loo damp.
