Fire Protection Discussed At Village Council A delegation from the volunteer fire brigade met the Flesherton Council at the regular session Mon- day and discussed the loss of cloth- ing by the members through the ac- tion of acid in the chemical equip- ment. The Council passed a motion that ftach fireman receive fl.OO for each trip made to fires, and that the Chief keep a record of all fires at- tended and the members of the bri- gade who attended. The feasaJbility of the brigade takiirg the equipment to fires outside the village was dis- cussed at some length, as in most casesL no remuneration has been re- ceived from other municipalities, the expense and cost of materials being consideraible. It was decided to try and reach an understanding with the Artemesia Township Council in re- gard to remuneration. A letter was received from the County of Grey showing the levy for the Village of Flesherton as $2177.68, half to be paid by Janua'y 1,5th, 1949, and the other half by April 15th, 109. A letter was received from Flesh- erton Women's Institute requesting garbage collection in the village, Lind on motion it was left over for further consideration. It was decide that the Council will advertise for tenders to plow the village streets during the coming winter. .Accounts were ordered to be pre- sented to the Artemesia Council for the following fires: E. Muir, Ceylon: J. Patterson, Durham Road comer, and Roibt. Purvis, Eugenia; and to Osprey Council for the fire at Roy Fenwick's home. The following accounts were ord- ered paid: F. H. W.

Rev. A. G. Jliac- Pherson of Flesheron, a fome min- ister, conducted the special servi- ces. The present pastor, Rev. Albert Millen, took the services at Flesher- ton and Eugenia. In the moi-ning Mr. Donald Chis- holm of Hamilton presented a large pulpit Bible, duly inscribed, on be- half of his mother in memory of iiis Xaher, Rev. John Chishqlm.D.D,. first minister of Mclntyre church. Following this. Miss Margaret Maj- Kinnon presented an enlarged photo of Dr. Chisholm. Mrs. Chisholm, who is. 94 years of age, resides in Hamilton, and was formerly Miss Klizaberh MacKinnon, an aunt of Margaret MacKinnon and Mary (Mrs. Archie Priddle). Rev. Mr. Macpherson spoke on the question: "What is the Church? ' and opened his remarks by readina; extracts from a letter he had re- ceived from Rev. Dr. Chisholm in 1032. In this letter Dr. Chisholm told of conditions at ilelntye and in Osprey Township during the 70's. There were then five Wesleyan churches, a preaching station in Morrison's school-house on the Fle- sherton road, and a parsonage at Feversham. The Episcopal Metho- dists had a small church at Fever- sham. To the South there were Methodist churches a- Badjeros and on the Centre Line. The Episcopal (.Anglican) had a church at Max- well. The Presbyterians came in to the picture with a church at Max- well and one at Feversham. The Mclntyre locality proper was served by Presbyterians (Church of Scot- land), Congregationalists and Bap- tists. After the Presbyterian union of 1875, Mclnyre became definitely nnked up with Maxwell and Fever- sham. On the arrival of Rev, John Chisholm in 1879, this vigorous and far-sighted young man quickly saw the need of consolidation. In five months his energy and leadership was largely instrumental in the erection of the present splendid building. On the basis of this account, Rev, Mr. Macpherson appealed to the largo cong^agatioin lo regard the church not merely as an organiza- tion which has its many changes an,i ups and downs, but as the Body >t believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. a glorious company with a glorious task to do, namely that of witness- ing the sTood news of the Christian faith, and of waging war on all the evils that bar the coming of God's Kingdom on earth. The church auditorium was beau- tifully decorated with fall flowers and fruits, and special music was rgendered by the Singhampton male chorus. In the evening, anothor large congregation gathered. T'lJ i-hoir sang two anthems, and Rev. Mr. Macpherson chose as his subject "iSeeurity,'' preaching from the text "If God be for us, who can be .igainst us?" .Mtogether. it was a lireat day for the Mclntyre people, and their friends, who joined with 'hem in marking this imiportant milestone in the life and work of the Church.

Next year it will pit)b- a.bly he floods. In the spring fol- lowing the dry sunimer of 1936 the whole continent suffered the worst floodls in history. Dog Died When Fed Glass Saturday night Mr, Wm. McMas- ter of town lost a valuaible huntin<i dog which had been fed glass Wed- nesday night of last week in some food. The dogs made quite a fuss against the intruder and he was seen goinfj over the fence in escaping The next morning the dog was \\\ and a severe hemorrhage Saturday night ended the dog's days. How any self-respecting person with anv kind of a conscience could feed a dog icround glass, which was the cause of its death, is beyond our imagination. Such cruelty to dumb animals is inhuman.
