A Wealth ot Excellent Talent Disclosed in Drama, Danciny And Song -

The polished perfonnances given by the casts of the two one-act plays presented, the peppy, rhythmic dancing of the members ot the girls’ revue, and the cleverly arranged and exe- cuted singing of “the harmonlzers” highlighted the first Commencement Exercises ot the Alexandria High School, held last Friday evening in Alexander Hall, and greatly impressed the large audience with the previously unsuspected talent of the average student of the local institution of higher learning. Certainly the boys and girls staged a programme chuck lull of line entertainment, and the general approval of the audience, which greeted the announcement that the Exercises would bo held annually, was a tribute to those taking part.

ment was supplied by the director. Miss Florence Gormley, at the piano, with Miss Ruth Chisholm guitarist.

“Courage Mr. Greene”, a one-act farce depicting the efforts ot Mi's. Greene to make her husband a little more forceful in his business relations, and the results of a visit from a burglar, gave five more students a chance to keep high the dramatic reputation of their school and they were more tlian equal to the job. Miss Maiy Jane McLeod as the wife of the spine- less Mr. Greene, (played by Real Huot), John O. Morris in the role ot the burglar, Robt. McCormick as Greene’s employer, and Miss Alice Denis, as the maid, all played their parts like experienced actors, their word-perfect portrayals showing the

(Maxville Correspondent) Before a crowd numbering nearly

one thousand, Maxville Millionaires defeated Clarkson Tech here on Wed- nesday night by a 2—1 score and are even now on the three game round, Clarkson having won the opener at Cornwall, on Monday night by a 3—2 score. The deciding game will be played at Cornwall on Friday night.

The game, which was fast and clean_, only two penalties being handed out, and those being for minor infraction.^, was played on a fast sheet of ice and was admirably handled by H. Flem- ming of Ottawa, who was on the play every moment.

The first period went scoreless as both teams played cautiously. The Millionaires, however, carried the attack into Clai'kson territory several times and gave Blouin a few anxious moments.

Three minutes after the opening of the second period MacCallumona very pretty rush, put Maxville one up. No further scoring in this frame. Legault and MacEwen were each given penalties, the only ones of the evening.

The third period was only two minutes old when Ed Coleman and Mac- Callum, ,on a combination play, added Maxville’s second counter. Two minutes later Legault on an assist from pilon, scored Clarkson’s only goal. ’This ended the scoring for the evening.

Won’t Buy Power From Beauliarnols

Toronto, Feb. 22.—Attorney General Arthur W. Roebuck expressed the opinion Saturday night there was no possibility of purchase by the Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission of power from Beauharnols Interests. He said the principal objections to the purchase of power from Beauharnols were the power was not needed and purchase from private sources would delay for a decade development of power under public ownership in On- tario.

Memories ot Flit Little Four (By Angus H. McDonell.)

Alexandria, Williamitown, Martin- town, and Lancaster ^ composed the Glengarry hockey league. Archie Danis was the president. We read thus, recently, in that f very interesting column, Auld Lang Syne, of the News. Reaching this point of ten years ago, I slouched down in an easy chair and stretched my long legs in a more com- fortable position. I then recalled pleasant memories of a similar league that existed' for one season back around 1920-21. ’This circuit was made up of Martintown, Maxville, Apple Hill, and 3rd Kenyon. It was known as “THE LIT’TLE FOUR.”

Before the narration of this little story, of the Little Fdur, I will reveal part of the 3rd concession’s sport history. ’Thus, demonstrating why they were the logical choice when a fourth club was desired to complete this league.

In the era preceding Engineers and improved drainage, the Pall rains drained from the hills of the 3rd into areas commonly called “beavers’’. Hence, a rink could be had anywhere between Dan O’Brien’s and the Schoolmaster’s. Some young residents owned spring skates, others did not, but everybody had a first class “hurl”. To secure a “hurl,”, you went to a near-by swamp, cut a cedar tree, Oi bough, with an angle shape, and after considerable whittling a “hurl” would resemble a hockey stick. The ice game was known then as “hurl” not hockey.

nawkesbury May Nave New Fown Hall

B'. J. Moore of the Department of Municipal affairs, Toronto, was *n Hawkesbury this week assisting in the preparation of the town’s budget for 1937. A sum of $11,000, was included In the budget for the construction of a new town hall but it is pointed out that this is subject to the approval ot Hon. David A. CroU, Ontario Minls- tei of tvelfare. That sum is approximately 25% of the estimated cost of the proposed building.

The new town hall seems assured as Mayor Woods pointed out that Mr. Croll when interviewed last summer could see no objection provided the town supplied the material.

The budget calls for no increase in the tax rate.

Easter Monday Dance Alexander Hall Committee have

completed arrangements for the holding of an entertainment on the evening of Easter Monday and in their effort to provide for everyone an enjoyable time, cribbage has been added to the usual attractions, bridge, ■ euchre and dance. The tickets for this evening are now on sale And a widespread response is anticipated.

“Hack Fo Ihe IOWD” Many of our readers will be interest-

ed in the article which appears on page 6 ot this issue of the News with regard to bringing industries back from the large cities into the smaller centres. Mr. Deachman who has now firmly established himself as one of Canada’s leading economists explains in his inimitable manner one ot the basic causes of the present unemployment situation and his diagnosis is well worth careful study by our readers generally. Alexandria has been one of the chief sufferers from the mad race to centralize industries in the large centres prior to the depression and it is to be hoped that as the lar-' ger Industries realize the necessity of branching out and decentralizing, our little Town will be one of the first benefited, lying a sit does within such a convenient distance from Montreal the greatest Metropolis in the Dom- inion and from the Capitol City as well.

Those who have at heart the interests Of the municipalities which are at present heavily burdened with direct relief will find Mr. Deachman’s exposition of the situation both interesting and instructive.

Mrs. A. J. McDonell oF Monlreal, Sincerely Mourned

I Friends throughout this district ' learned with profound regret of the death at Montreal, on Tuesday, Feb- ruary 16th, ot Roselyn Darragh, wi- dow of Angus John McDonell, following an illness of only a few weeks’ duration.

I The deceased was born at Pitts- burg, Pa., a daughter of the late An- gus J. Darragh, a native of Lancaster township, and his wife Mary Jane Allen. In February, 1912, ,at Pittsburg, she married Mr. A. J. McDonell, con-

j tractor, who passed away in 1935. Mr. and Mrs. McDonell resided in Mont- real and at their summer home in Hudson, Que

I Mrs. McDonell took a deep interest in. chm-ch and social activities and gave freely of her time and energy

■ to promote any good work. Her presence will be greatly missed for she Was a kind and helpful neighbour and a friend who was always happy to dis- charge the obligations that friend- ship entailed. She had a magnetic personality with a keen sense ot hum- our—was a gracious hostess and most happy when entertaining her relatives and friends.

I To mourn Mrs. McDonell leaves her mother, Mrs. A. J. Darragh, four brothers, Ronald A., Roderick, Lee and Charles Dairagh, of Pittsburg; and three sisters, Mrs. C. Sheedy, Pitts- burg, Mrs. T. Cosgrove, of Canton, O., and Mrs. R. s. McLeod, Alexandria.

!' The remains arrived at the C.N.R. station, Alexandria ,at 10.40, Friday morning and the funeral took place to St. Finnan’s Cathedral, where the

-Rector, Rev. Ewen J. Macdonald received the body and also chanted the Requiem Mass,, which was attended by a sympatlrlslng congregation,

i Rev. W. J. Smith, D.C.L. read the prayers at the graveside, interment being made in the family plot In St. Finnan’s cemetery.

j The pallbearers were Messrs. C. H. [covey, Ottawa; Ed. J. McDonald, J. R. MacMaster, E. B. Ostrom, Angus Me- Phee and John L. McDonald.

The very large number of spiritual offerings as well as beautiful floral pieces and messages of sympathy be- spoke the widespread sorrow occasion- ed by the unlooked for death of Mrs. McDonell.

Among those from out of town present at the funeral were Mr. Ronald

'A. Darragh, Mrs. C. Sheedy, Miss ' Margaret Griffin, Pittsburg; Mrs. T. Cosgrove, Canton, O.; Mrs. D. Boehm, Syracuse, N.Y.; Mrs. G. Roach, Mrs

Prize List Out For Seed Fair At Maxville

GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS AS- SURE VALUABLE

MONEY FRIZES

With the fifth annual fair under the auspices of the Glengarry and East Stormont Better Seed Association slated for Monday and Tuesday, March 22nd and 23rd ,and this yeqr to be held in Ferguson’s Hall, Max- ville, officials and directors are putting in over time in seeing to the de- tails that warrant success.

During the past few days their prize list has been mailed to members and others and the contents of same should prove of more than ordinary interest to the farmers of the district covered.

The prize list is made up of twelve classes including late oats, early oats, barley (malting), spring wheat, peas, buckwheat, timothy, red clover, potatoes, alfalfa and soy beans with money prizes aggregaitng upwards of two hundred dollars and supplementary prizes in value and in this regard the citizens of Maxville and vicinity arc generous in their contributions and enthusiastic in their support.

The 'list of rules and regulations that will govern the Fair are given therein and as they are to be strictly adheared to should receive careful study.

On the afternoon of the 23rd March, March judging will take place in the Junior Seed Judging competition. It is open to any boy under 23 years of age, resident of Glengan-y and East Stormont. It will consist of judging and giving reasons on two classes ot cereals — potatoes, small seeds, weed, and weed seed identification.

Boys who have attended agricultural college 01 school for more than two months or boys who have won first prize at any seed judging competition are not eligible to compete.

Entries shquld be sent to A. V. Lang- ton, Dept of Agriculture, Alexandria.

Under the heading “Objects of the Fair” the management lay'—speciaJ’ stress on the desii’e to encourage farmers to grow and harvest the best—to sow only the best and to facilitate the sale of surplus seed of good quality, thus to Increase yields per acre and assm’e a fair price for grain products. They4 also wish farmers to buy their seed requirements within the district and cooperate in making this eastern section a home of good seed and increase farm revenues generally.

Contributors 'to Federal taxation, whether individuals or corporations are, expected to find themselves pretty much in the position they were after Thursday’s budget has been delivered. These questions are always under consideration till the last with all prospective expenditures surveyed and all promising sources of revenue examined so that the deficit, as much as possible, can be modified. But the whole suggestion so far is against much change.

Some variation in the Income tax schedules being considered are described as ot a technical character rather than raising or lowering.

It is much the same in regard to the excise taxes. Great will be the surprise if the sales tax is increased tc add to the cost of everything even to produce more revenue which would be questionable. The sugar tax wiU stay. It brings in about $10,000,000 though this is only a tenth of what Is. derived from income. No new “nuis- ance” taxes are anticipated. No present ones are likely to disappear for a while yet.

'The gross deficit last year was $162,- 000,000. It looks as though, despite drought relief, it nîay be cut in half this time. The strength of the budget will be in the tariff changes involved in the United Kingdom agreement.

Curling Ilotes Local curlers have been unable to

use the ice at the rink, here, this vceek, the high temperatures having formed a layer of water over the siieets. Hawkesbm’y seems to be in the same position as lack of ice forced postponement of the Hawkesbury —Alexandria matches for the Holtby trophy which were scheduled for 'Wed- nesday evening on Hawkesbury ice. It begins to look as though the District

Medal Games between Lachine and the local Club will be called off for this year. Several dates have already been washed-out and it may now prove impossible to find a night this year on ' which the weatherman and the two clubs can agree. \

Cornwall enthusiasts who have been using the Alexandria ice on various occasions took the first step towards erection of a rink in the Factory Town when, on Monday evening, a meeting was held in the Cornwallis Hotel. Three committees were named to secine information on a site, get estimates on the nature and cost of a building and study the financial que.s- tion. They will report to a meeting to be called later.

Freseolalion Hade Fo Nev. J. 1. Wylie

As a mark of appreciation for his 4 1-2 years as curate at St. Colum- ban’s Roman Catholic Church, Rev. James A. Wylie, who was recently appointed parish priest at Dickinson’s Landing, was the recipient of an address- and a purse from the parishioners of St. Columban’s Church during the evening service on Sunday.

Prior to the reading of the address. Rev. J. M. Foley, pastor of St. Gol- umban’s, in a lew words thanked the members ot the parish for making this presentation, and expressed his gratitude for the work of Father Wy- lie and his loyalty to duty while he was his assistant. W. J. Gault, on behalf of the parishioners, read an address, which lauded Father Wylie’.s promptness and devotion to his duties. Mention was made of the many good and faithful priests who had served as curate in St. Columban’s parish, and it was pointed out that Father Wylie was no exception to this rule. After the reading of the address, Fred M. Bradley made the presentation.

Suitable Reply Father Wylie made a suitable reply,

and stated that while the parishioners were giving him personal honor, they acre at the same time paying tribute to the priesthood. He said that it felt like old times to be standing before the members ot St. (Joliimban’s parish. He expressed his gratitude for the kindnesses he had received while he was assistant to Father Foley. Dur- ing his stay here, he said, cordial relations had existed between Rev. D. A. Kerr and himself, with whom he had been curate.

He also stated that he had been .a friend for more than 20 years of Rev. R. J. McDonald, who had been appointed as his. successor. He conclud- ed by asking the parishioners to pray for him, so that he might be successful in taking over his new duties as pastor of Dickinson’s Landing, parish.

Father Wylie then officiated at Sol- emn Benediction, assisted by Rev. B. J. McDonald, deacon, and Rev. Don- ald A. Kerr, sub-deacon.—Standard- Freeholder.

'i’he Gordon setter has -always been a gentleman's dog. He takes his name from a British nobleman, wlio. al- j though not the founder of the breed, had much to do with its early development. 'Phis was the duke of Gordon, who lived at the beginning of the Xine- teenth century.

The Gordon is a heavier dog than the English or Irish setter, and makes up in strength what he may lack In speed. It is true that the Gordon does not work rapidly enough to do much in field trials. The English and Irish setters, being lighter dogs, cover the ground more rapidly and where speed counts and the nmiiber of coveys ttnshed means everything, the Gordon Is forced to fake second place.

. As an all-round good hunting dog. a beautiful animal and a loyal pal. there is none that surpasses the black and tan Gordon setter.

Checker Game Believed As Old as Civilization

When you play checkers you play a game which is probably very nearly as old as civilization itself. Checkers, like chess, Is of so ancient and remote an origin that It Is impos.sible to tell when it was first played, or, with any certainty, in what country it was de- vised. Checkers, being the simpler game. It is perhaps even older than chess.

'Phere are references to both games In some of the oldest literature of India. <;hlna, and otljer Oriental countries. so that an Oriental origin has been ascribed to them. But checkers may have been Independently developed in various (ilaces. It has been found even anmng primitive and iso- lated tribes, as among the natives of the interior of New Zealand.

SMUT IN WHEAT

LANDMARK IN THE CHEESEMAKER’S ART

Rome in Italy, the Eternal City, lias been famous down through the ages, but comparatively little has been heard about Rome, N.Y. Reeently, ho'wever, it gained some prominence when a monument to the founder of the cheese factory system in the United States was unveiled in thafëity. The monument has been erected to Jêssê Williams,

'fhe discovery of seed li'eatineiit for the control of smut originated in a, marine disaster. To- wards the end of the seventeenth century a wheat- laden vessel was wrecked on the west coast of England near Bristol. Farmers of the vi- cenity salvaged some of the grain, which, being found unsuitable for grinding into flour, was used as seed. One observant farmer observed that the wheat grown from the brine-soaked salvaged seed was freer from smut than was the crop produced from hoine-gi-own seed.

Writers of the eighteenth century refer to the jiraetiee of hriniiig seed grain and to the influence of sea water in redneingn the incidence of smut. But. says the Farm News Eetter of the C.I.U., it was no longer necessary to wreck a ship in order to procure the treated seed, any more than it w.as to burn down piggeries for the gratification of ap- petite on roast ])ork, which was done in ancient China following Bo-bo's discovery of fhe delicacy,

The son, however, was somewhat fearfui that he' would not be able to prod’ûce as good cheese as his father and thereby ruin his father’s reputation as a cheesemaker.

At first, Jesse Williams planned to go to his son’s farm every day and help him in his cheesemaking, hut eventually it was decided for the son to take the milk to his fathèr’s farm every day and the milk from both farms simultaneously converted into cheese. Other neighbours askeii to be allowed to send their milk; so in 1851 the first cheese factory was built, capable of dealing with the milk of the neighbourhood.

GIFT ‘OF DIAMOND AND RUBY SANDAI.S

A pair of made-in-Caiiada sandals worth *16,000 will be offered Queen Elizabeth as a coron-

■ atioii gift, it wa.s learnend last week. These sandals • are studded with 500 diamonds and 500 rubies.

Eleven other pairs of shoes, made in Montreal of Canadian leather and by Canadian workmen, •will also be offered for use a,t different events which will follow the coronation.

Advice from the Department of External Af fairs at Ottawa was sought recently by A. D SebaStjani, 'representing the Shoe Manufacturers Association of Canada and the National Shoe Re- tailers Association, regarding procedure in offering the gift to Her Majesty.

A model of the lattice-work sandals was jwe- sented to Dr. 0. D. Skelton, under-secretary for Ex- ternal Affairs, by Alfred Marois, president of the Manufacturers A&soeiatian. Dr. Skelton stated that the Canadian Government would be pleased to offer the gift to the Queen and, if accepted, the pre- sesntation will probably be made by Hon. Vincent Massey, Canadian High Commissioner in England. Mr. Skelton assured Mr. Sébastian! that the Gov- ernment Would take up the matter with proper authorities.

The shoes, Mr. Sebastian! stated, will be presenlv ed in the name of Canada and will be a tribute by Canadian shoe manufacturers, repairmen and tan- ifers.

The diamond a.nd ruby-studded ])air of sandals will be the initial .gift to the Queen. While every strap of the sandal will carry the stones, there will be a Royal Crown emblem on the front of each shoe which will be studded with diamonds, rubies and a few rhine-stones.

Canada’s gift will.also include two other pairs of lattice-work high-cut sandaifs, one pair of which will be studded with rhinestones; a pair of patent leather pumps ; one pair of white satin and one pair of black satin pumps ; one pair of silver kid tie shoes with a jewelled cro^vn at the instep ; one pair of silver, kid shoes with a gold tongue ; a pair each of Coronation red and red earth calf; a pair of blue suede and a pair of grey suede each with crown design in red earth at the instep.

The Queen wears size 4 1-2B, and all the shoes will have continental heels (height 1 3-4 inches), except the jewelled evening shoes, which will have two-inch heels.

The twelve pa,irs of shoes wei-e valued at close to $20,000.

SHORT CUTS WITH SCISSORS

It saves time and trouble to hang a large pair ■of stainless scissors on a handy hook in the kitchen:

There’ll be no accidents with fingers and kitchen knives and cumbersome chopping boards can be done away with.

Raisins and glace cherries, candied peel, grated carrot and nuts that go to make cakes and pud- dings—scissors will cut them up in next to no time.

Then take breakfast bacon rashers; their rinds ca,n be trimmed as neat as a shingle with a pair of scissors. Carrots, pimento, turnips, parsnips, potatoes—a deft clipping dices them speedily, or shapes

■them artistically into stars and^ diamonds for gar- nishing. Scissors make short work, too, of meat for a stew, trimming cutlets and cutting up filleted fish for such things as souffles, pies and escallop shells. They will nip off fish heads, tails a,nd fins, and grate chocolate coarsely.

Hold p£(rsley, mint and herbs in a tight bunch and snip them to fine pieces ; watercress, endive, greens of any kind—call the scissors into service to slice them up conveniently. Shred lettuce, too, by setting scissors to work on a Click sheaf of leaves tightly, rolled,

Make light labor of marmalade by snapping at orange and lemon rinds with scissoi's. Snip round the core of a halved grapefruit, then dig down and, cutting out from underneath leave a pool of juice for the maraschino cherry. Cut down the sections and sides to finish the job.

Trim the .rough edges of fruit tarts with seissois. Use them to fashion petals and leaves to decorate pies.

When,.from sheer hard work the blades are blunted let them try to bite the neck off a glass bottle. See that the full length of the blades saws at the glass 20 to 25'times. They’ll be'sharper.

Cutting coarse sandpaper puts tired scissors on edge, too. If it puts your teeth on edge also, take it to be ground.

HOW TO COMBAT CLOTHES MOTH PEST

A reminder that clothes moths are found in greatest numbers in the spring a,nd summer is made by the timely re-issue of the Dominion Department of agriculture circular on the methods of controlling these destructive pests. Clothes moths cause enoi- mous damage annually in Canada to materials such as woollens, furs, hair, and feathers, upholstered furniture, carpets apd many other tilings. The damage is caused by the feeding activities of the larvae, or caterpillars, of the moths, not by the winged moths themselves whose principal function in life is to mate and deposit the eggs from which the larvae develop.

The prevention of damage requires the exer- cise of care, forethought, and vigilance. Articles of clothing and other materials subject to attack should ot be left undisturbed for long periods, particularly during the summer months, in such places as cupboards, attics, and trunks unle.ss adequate pregajitipns have been taken to protect the articles from injury by moths. The clothing and other articles, after being thoroughly brushed, pre- ferably in strong sunlight, should be placed in well- ma,de trunks or chests with tightly-fitting lids, or enclosed in cotton or paper bags, or in cardboard

boxes sealed with paper strips. Enclosing clothing in two thicknesses of strong wrapping paper, or several thicknesses of newspaper, taking care that the edges are so turned that no moths may gain en- trance, is also recommended as an ajternative measure of precaution.

Wlien carpets or rugs qre suspected of being infested with moth larvae, the carpets should be thoroughly cleaned on both sides with a vacuum cleaner. Vacuum cleaners may' also be used for re- moving the lint from floor cracks, beliind baseboards, and air shafts of central heating equipment where infestation froquentl.v occurs. Full information as to methods of coiitrol and ha- bits of clothes moths is given in the circular which may be obtained free on application to the Publicity and Extension Branch, Domiidon Depart- ment of Agriculture, Ottawa. o

FINE FISH DISH FOR LENT

The Lenten season has begun again and many are interested in getting fish recipes. ■ Then too, those M'ho are interested in furthering the use of fish in diet have set aside February as a month to use fish recipes, The salmon industry and its work- ers ha,ve been sending out recipes using salmon.

Fish is tasty and especially' good from' a die- tetic standpoint. Easily digested if cooked properly, it is a good food for invalids a.nd convalescents. Then too, fish is rich in vitamins A and D., and iodine in some type, as well as copper. So keeping these things in mind we realize only too well how ira portant it is to use fish.

ALMOST NO BREAK Meantime, the party ranks stand al-

most without a break. It is true that the wording' of the "want of confidence” motion was such as to confuse the issue slightly. If it had been a straight negative of the defence appro- priations, it would probably have caught a few more supporters. A number of Liberals feel sufficiently strong about it to vote against the individual estimatees themselves, when they come up; but not enough to support a vote which, if it carried, would throw the present government cut and bring along a general elec- tion.

Relief is in sight for the financially embarrassed provinces in the West, with the hope of a long range ad- justment of some matters that have been growing more unsatisfactory for a long time.

A royal commission is to examine the taxing powers of the provinces and their social obligations. At present there appears to be a serious dis- parity between them. ’The cure may be to enlarge their taxing powers; or perhaps to transfer some of their res- ponsibilities. Some people are getting heartily sick of commissions; claim the country is over-run with them. The present government hasn’t lost faith in the inquiry of eminent and impar- tial authorities into the problems of the day.

will give a bureaucracy at Ottawa power to make the lives ot the pioneer, alrpien in the north miserable, and will put so much red tape in their wav that the development of the Industry will be discouraged.

A parliamentary committee is working away through a maze of facts and figures on the pi-oblem of the rising costs Of farm implements. So far it does not appear to have uncovered anything startling. Some of the low tariff members of the Liberal party are getting somewhat restive over the slow motion downward in duties. The personnel of the Tariff Board comes in for occasional criticism, as being a Bennett appointment and biased somewhat on the protection side.

DEATH IN THE COMMONS There are now three vacancies in the

Commons, the death of Dr. Matthew McKay of Pembroke having removed the oldest member of the House in years, just after the House had lost the oldest member in terms of service, Hon. Charles Mardi.

On one of the few remaining days for private members’ resolutions, Rene Pelletier, Social Credit member for Peace River called for a royal commission to Investigate the grievances which ai’e said to have accumulated between some sections of Canada and others. He acknowledged that as royal commission on taxation had been announced but argued that it did not go far enough and would not satisfy the people of western Canada. “At present,” he said, "people of the west live under the shadow of wrongs, real or fancied.”

MRS. HERBERT SPROTT With startling suddenness, the death

occurred on Friday, 19th Februaiy of Mrs. Herbert Sprott, at her home. Mechanic Street east.

When her son William, who lived with her, left for work in the morning she was apparently in her usual health. When he returned at noon, he feund that she had passed away.

This sudden call was not only a shock to the members of her family but also to cur citizens by whom the deceased was highly esteemed. Mrs. Sprott who had not enjoyed the best of health for some time was able up to the last, to attend to her household duties. Her maiden name was Isabel Dickson. She was born in Kenyon township 68 years ago, a daughter of V/m. Dickson and his wife Rebecca McRae. In 1895, she married Herbert Sprott. They took up residence in Maxville in 1911, where Mr. Sprott died in 1925.

The chief mourners are a daughter, and five sons: Rebecca, James and Douglas of New York; WUIiam in Maxville, Herbert of Avoiuhore and Robert in the West. A sister, Mrs. John Towe of Dalkeith also survives.

There was a large attendance at the funeral service held in the United Church on Monday afternoon, when her pastor. Rev. J. H. Hamilton officiated and paid a tribute to the faith and fidelity of her who had gone. In- terment was made in Maxville ceme- *be time, but when you are told that,

rich in the never-say-die spirit.

The Lights showed their sportsman- ship by being the fii'st to congratulate victors.

Mike says that anyone who can put the Northern Lights out, has some reach.

Whistling Billy’s dulcet tones were about as effective as a porous plaster on a grind stone.

The veteran, John Cross, was outstanding on the visitors’ line-up. He. like his team mates, is a gentleman.

The shout that greeted “Chammie’ Hamilton’s shot which marked the turning of the tide was well mgh loud enough to awaken the moral con- science of Germany or Italy.

The question is being asked as to why no penalty was handed out when MacEwen was slashed over the eye, necessitating medical attention. Of course, on one occasion Nelson had the blind eye to his field glass.

Another query is, for an explanation a.s to why Cornwali and Massena Mo- guls should be absolute dictators in executive decisions as regards the operation of the league. Millionaires are holders of the Citizen Shield, and there’s Finch and Potsdam. It may be alright lor the other fellow to choose

ancial standing of the municipalities had been shown over 1935 and 1936. ‘They are in a much healthier position in both their capital and current accounts than they were three or two years ago, or even one year ago,” he said.

Nothing was more needed in On- tario, he believed, than a much strong- ei municipal organization w'hich would represent the opinion of the rural and urban districts of the Province, Mr. Cummings contended. He urged the body he was addressing to approach the Ontario Municipal Asso- ciation, made up largely of ui'ban re- presentatives, with a view to fusion of the two organizations.

The Deputy Minister contended that taxes could not be considered as a debt; and therefore did not come within the confines of the Farmers’ Creditors’ Arrangement Act for consideration. He wished, he said, that some municipality would “go to bat” on the matter. Despite opinions to the contrary which had been given in Ottawa, he maintained that the review boards had no authority to deal with taxes.

Japan’s Armament Industries

During the Nineteenth century there were in Japan no private industries of war. Government arsenals manufac tured all of the arms. .After the Uns- slan war, however, the govermnent permitted the founding of the Japan Steel Works, which was the first and only privately owned arms factor In the country.

Meaning of Word “Hex”

The noun hex, the plural of which is hexes, is used of an individual, whether male or female, who practices witch- craft. The word is derived from the German hexe, meaning witch, wizard. The verb hex means to practice witch- craft (upon); to bewitch. Both‘noun and verb are localisms peculiar to the people of the United States, particularly in tlie I’ennsylvania German districts.—Literary l>igest.

WHAT MAKES A TOWN? A prosperous rural population which deman<is a com-

munity centre where may be established business, educational, religious and entertainment facilities. Where these flourish and are active it is safe to surmise that the people of that section realize and appreciate the value to them of such a centre.

What Maintains it?

The towns are largely maintained by the surrounding districts. But the organization, the direction, and to a great measure the up-keep, of the institutions in such towns are in the hands of the business interests, together with those directly and indirectly connected therewith. Without the active business and professional men to supervise and govern thèse public institutions and undertakings no town could thrive.

Who is Mainly Affected ?

Every citizen either in or about a town should be concern- ed in seeing to it that they do their part in carrying on any good cause which may be promoted, either by financial or active support. ' Only in this way will any town prosper and develop as it should.

Publicity is Required

In promotion work your local paper takes the leading part. It is ever the champion of worthy causes and philanthropic and patriotic undertakings. But to function properly, and fully carry out its natural prerogatives, it must in turn have the financial support of the community it serves. When needing advertising or printed matter always first think of the (3-lengarry News.

just before the cosmic collision that and paralyzing wiped out the earth, and land on Bronson Beta. Before they learn that Russian, Japanese and German scien- tists, fanatical Communists, also reach ed the new planet, the Asiatics go scouting in one of the Bronson Betans' planes they have learned to operate and are seen over Hendron’s camp. Ilendron builds a plane and his lieu- tenant, Tony Drake, discovers one of the wondrous glass enclosed cities the Bronson Betans built when they learned eons ago that their planet was being torn from its own sun and would go out into space. The Asiatics, or Midi- anites as Hendron calls them, subju- gate the 300 survivors of a British ship which lands in a lake, but Lady Cyn- thia Crulkshank escapes. When the Asiatics make an aerial raid, Tony and his men annihilate their armada with terrific atomic blasts from the space ship’s propulsion tubes. Fol- lowing out orders given by Hendron just before his death, Tony removes everybody to Khorlu, one of the Seal- ed Cities. Tony and Eve Hendron are married. The Asiatics have occupied Gorfulu, the principal city, where tliere isi an underground plant which draws as mysterious power from the interior of the planet. It supplies heat and light to the other cities through conduits and when the intensely cold winter is at its height, the Asiatics cut off Tony’s city to freeze them into submission.

huge conduit gleamed ahead. Eliot James put on the power, full. He saw lhe_ chance to surprise Gorfulu: he saw the probability, too, that some signal might be sent ahead by the survivors of the fight in the tube.

But there w'as a chance—a chance. So Eliot opened it wide, and they

sped on—the four living men wound- .ed^and onï' déâd, 6A thé car to catch by surprise the city that controlled the continent and which the enemy from earth held.

For two hours they travelled thus. Then—^the lights were extinguished;

the car rushed on in Stygian cave. But the car’s speed vras slowing; ;the power that propelled it was shut off

It did no good for Eliot to thump the control; the power was gone; the car slid to a stop.

So there they lay underground in the tube, without light or food or water; one dead, four wounded. It seemed senseless; yet the only thing left was for the wourided to crawl the reét iif the way to the chief city held by the enemy. .....

Marian Jackson’s situation was not in the least like theirs. Marian had driven by broad daylight to the chief gate of Gorfulu, and shown herself and begged admittance.

Marian was exceedingly good-look- ing and the guard who parleyed with her had the good sense to take her at once to his superior, who knew that his business was to show her to Seidel.

Seidel spoke English; Marian’s “line”, as well as her appearance, pleased him.

She pointed out that the American parties—both of them from both ships —were composed of fools. She congratulated herself that she had not been chosen by them to join them; she had made them take her.

This was true;' and Seidel had learned that it was true, from his spies in the city. Marian was tired, she said, of ninnies from America who had chosen themselves to people this planet. They couldn’t even keep themiselvcs warm!

Seidel had Marian assigned to quarters close to his in the Citadel.

equipped and polished in the fine points of the game, Alexandria won' by a small margin. Among Alexand- ria’s line up were the late “Johnnie Angus”, his brother Dougall John MacMillan, Paul Lauzon, Dan Char- lebois, Jimmie ^nald Allan McDon- ald, Louis Kemp, Donald Alec “Issic” MacDonald “Mouche” Da Prato and “Sandy” Dewar.

Among the 3rd. Concession players were—Johnie Allan Cameron, “Sandy” Allan Cameron (dead) Archie Hughie Cameron, (dead), Jos. R. McDonell, (dead, Wm. “Billie” Hoey, John D. McDonell, Dougall John Cameron, (dead), Willie, and his brother “San- dy” Kennedy.

Those were the days, when, “Hughie Ranald Ban” MacDonell conducted an extensive grocery business in the 3rd. Concession corner store, while Allan The Bailiff” Macdonell, with a hick-

ory rod tucked under his arm, patroll- ed the wooden benches in the nearby little log school house, and Alexandria hotels sold five 'cent whiskey.

Possessing such a colorful athletic background, the 3rd. Kenyon, when invited, joined Martintown, ?4>ple Hill, and Maxville without any hesitation, thus forming the Little Four. Finan- ces were as strong as Social Credit notes in. Alberta, however a euchre proceeds were sufficient to purchase a dozen sweaters and a few sticks. Se- curing a rink, to play home games on, was the initial major problem to overcome. Owing to various unavoidable reasons Alexandria’s rink could not be used. Hence, accepting Apple Hill’s offer was the only alternative. Conse- quently 3rd Kenyon players and fans had to travel eight miles, often in sub- zero weather, to play their home games. “Splitting” gate receipts was unknown, neither were there taxies or cars for transportation. You rod>! in a sleigh and if that was too coid you walked behind. (Box Lacrosse players please note.)

Maxville and Martintown set a fast opening pace. Such smart players as “Bennie” Villeneuve, “Len.” Urquhait, and Willis Carther led Maxville, while outstanding for Martintown were the Beckstead brothers. 3rd Kenyon were striving to hold third place, the last play-off position, when lady luck frowned on them again, Johii David McPherson . (goalkeeper) was rendered hors-de-combat in a close game with Martintown. At this point the club in- nocently went big time with regret- table results. If any box lacrosse fans assume Alexandria caused the “import” epidemic when they brought in Bennie Haynes^ ^ well, you are wrong. One “of the' fiîsï import cases when sport activities were resumed after 1918-19 was as follows. Previous to leaving for high school one morning, this writer was instructed to sign ‘ Pauiie” Lauzon and Donald McDou- gald also to arrange their transportation to Maxville for an important match that evening. Warming up at game time vrith “Pauiie” between the pipes for MaePherson and Donald McDougald bolstering the defence, concession boys received a Dempsey punch. They were notified the game would be played under .protest because McDougald and Lauzon were not registered therefore they were “imports”. Maxville winning the protest had no immediate effect. Further games were protested, so a league meeting was called in Apple Hill to traighten this unfortunate situation. Our highly esteemed neighbour and friend, the late Dan S. McDonald, wa-s manager and official representative. Ke pleaded for leniency reviewing the hardships that had been endured by players and fans. At this memorable meeting, from a 3rd Kenyon view point, Donald McDougald was O.K’d despite the fact, he played the previous year with Hollinger, Timmins in the N.O.H.A. The McDougald farm ex- tends to the 3rd concession, this I pre- sume was the reason he was considered within the residence rule. It was proven that “Pauiie” Lazon was not working for any farmer in the concession. Consequently he was an “Import”. ‘Thus the 3rd Kenyon had committed a grievious offence against the rules of registration and residence. Such a grave issue apparently had to be settlfed,' not on sentiment, but ac-

But the main preven- tive of complications is to keep the child at rest in bed. So, one of the best means of insuring your child’s future health is to treat a sore throat with the greatest respect.

The life of a Newspaper Man

One issue is through, then you sit down (sez you), and you’ve nothing to do till the next ,but alas and alack, this isn’t a fact, for the Lino is crying for text. So you take off your coat, and you scan every note, and the mill you keep driving till hazy, and you’ll make a good “rag,” if you don’t stop to brag, and if you’re not awfully lazy.

For the machine must be led, and let it be said, it’s hungry and takes lots of feeding, but life’s on its way and each passing day, events are both subtle and speedings You grow old and grey, as each story you play, for head- lines are rare and elusive, and you’I! learn as you live, that, facts are a sieve, and nothing, but death, is con- clusive.

So when one issue’s done, you’ll rest not, my son, but you’ll bear down and be a go-getter; and maybe some day, your public wilt say, “Your paper gets better and better.”-;-(Trenton Courier- Advocate).

SORE THROATS Do you know the dangers of a sore

throat? What you think is Just a little cold in your child’s throat may be the beginning of permanent damage to his health. Rheumatic heart disease which is prevalent in temperate cli- mates like ours, particularly in the crowded cities, often has as its beginning an infection in the throat. Ser- ious kidney trouble too may follow soreness in the upper respiratory area. Therefore ever child with a sore throat should be treated with the the greatest care and be put to bed until he is better. Also an effort should be made to prevent the infection spreading to other members of the household.

There are many causes of sore throats in children. Perhaps the com- monest is an infection of the tonsils and adenoids. If these become inflammed frequently they should be removed before any serious damage is done. Al- though diphtheria is rapidly disap- pearing due to the wonderful results obtained from toxoid, it still does oc- cur, and if your child has not been given toxoid this disease must be kept in mind. Here, of course, prevention is greater than the cure and so toxoid should be given to all children. Many of the other infectious diseases such as scarlet fever and measles make their fh-st appearance as a sore throat. This often occurs before any rash appears, and it is most important that your child be put to bed and be carefully watched, particularly when an epidemic of any Infectious disease is in the neighbourhood.

BY THE WATCHMAN Toronto, February. Something defin-

ite is going to be done at last for the farmers of Ontario along the line of exposing those firms that exploit them 'with regard to prices for farm producers.

Speaking before the Ontario Whole Milk Producers and the Concentrated Milk Producers Association the other day, Hon. Duncan Marshall, Minister of Agriculture, declared that he was going to have published in the daily newspapers the prices for farm com- modidites paid by individual firms. This will give the public an idea of who is getting the short end of the deal.

It has been long felt that action should be taken to give the farmers protection from firms which think nothing of paying low prices for agrlcul-
