GLEN GOtDON GROSSING CHINS MOTHER TICTIM Joseph King, 49, Of St. Raphael’s Killed When Car Rammed Train

Noe Valade, Also Of St. Raphael’s, Recovering From Serious Injuries Incurred Friday- Evening, As Car Struck Standing Train

> ,, Joseph King, 49, of St. Raphael’s, was instantly killed, and Noe Valade,

also of St. Raphael’s, was seriously injured, early Friday night, when their car rammed into a standing mixed train at the C.P*11. crossing on Highway 34 at Glen Gordon. The car struck a boxcar midway on the train which had stopped at the Glen Gordon station. The hood of the car was driven beneath the frame of the boxcar by the impact.

The men were reported en route* home from the municipal nomination meeting at Williamstown.

It was the second fatal accident of the kind at that crossing within a year, a Cornwall man, Clifford A. Rich having been instantly killed, November 25th, 1949, when he struck a standing train. There are no warning lights or automatic signal devices at the crossing. Three men were injured in July, 1947, when their car struck a train at the crossing.

Provincial Constable J. S. Eastwood, who investigated, said the men were northbound on Highway 34, and ap- parently failed to see the stopped train in a light drizzle.

The train, bound from Smiths Palls to Cornwall, was a mixed freight con- taining two tank cars, three box cars and a coach.

Wilfred Seguin, Glen Gordon store- keeper, was an eyewitness to the accident.

“I had just gone over to the train to get some ' supplies when this car came uç. the highway”, he said. “There was no. attempt to stop—just a crash right in front of me. Valade was hang- ing. half out the driver’s window and conscious, although bleeding pretty badly. There was no Sign of life in King. I called the doctor and police.”

Dr. W. M. Lingard, Lancaster coroner, administered first aid to Valade at the- scene and sent him to Cornwall byi ambulance. He also authorized the removal of King’s body to Cornwall.

Conductor On the train was Walter Patterson and, engineer was Percy Himmelman, both of Smith’s Falls.

Police said the train crew was not aware of the approaching car until the crash occurred at 6.55 p.m.

Now removed from the serious list, Mr. Valade is reported showing improvement in Hotel Dieu Hospital, Cornwall. He suffered a concussion, a fractured jaw and multiple...bniises and lacerations.

A widely known resident of the St. Raphael’s area, the late Joseph. King was a son of Hugh King of St. Ra- phael’s. He is survived by four brothers and four sisters: Carson King, 4th Con- cession, Lancaster; Hugh King, 2nd Concession, Lancaster; Sheldon King, Hull, Que.; Hiram King, Cornwall1; Mrs. Augustus Larocque, 104 Baldwin avenue, Cornwall; Mrs. Ralph Berieu, Montreal; Mrs. Dennis Montroy, 755 First Street East, Cornwall; Mrs. John Pilon, Maxville. ,

Very largely attended by sym- pathising relatives, and friends, the funeral was held, Monday morning, to St. Raphael’s Church and cemetery.

The Requiem High Mass was sung by the Rev. D. A. Kerr, parish priest, who also conducted the service at the graveside.

Pallbearers were Alexander Mac- Gregor, Duncan A. Macdonell, Osie Valade, Aldege Valade, Angus R. Mac- Donald, Donald McLelian.

Relatives and friends placed many Mass cards, spiritual offerings and floral tributes about the casket, evi- dences of the esteem in which Mr. King was held and the regret felt at his sudden death under such sad circumstances. ».

No New Development In School Burglary

Passed 90th Milestone Mrs. J. A. B. MacMillan of Alex-

andria, quietly marked her 90th birth- day on Monday. Though in failing health for some years, the widely- known monagenarian was able to enjoy the visits of friends that day.

Mrs. MacMillan was among those in the “Over-90 Club” mentioned in last Sunday’s Neighborly News broadcast.

Investigation into the burglary of cadet rifles and ammunition at Alex- andria High School is continuing and there is little to report. Chief Con- stable Vachon on Friday conveyed to R.C.M.P. headquarters at Ottawa the fingerprints of some 125 male students of the school with two rifles which are thought to carry prints. It will be some days before the Mounties complete their check of the prints. o

Local Curlers Show Class At Ottawa

Two rinks of Alexandria curlers enjoyed their first play of the season at -Ottawa, Wednesday of last week, when they participated in the Ottawa Curl- ing Club’s Centennial Bonspiel. The lack of recent practise seemingly didn’t bother the local ironmen, who took three victories in four games.

Leo Lajoie’s foursome won twice but not by sufficient margin to stay in contention. They beat the Dunning rink from Cumberland 13-5 in the evening round, after knocking off a Shaw- ville rink earlier by a fine 17-8 count. Dr. Dolan’s four also won a 10-5 victory in the afternoon over F. B. Brown- ridge’s Cornwall rink, but dropped a 14-7 decision to MacDorvell of Shaw- ville at night.

The local rinks were made up of : Wilfrid Secours, .Laurent Crevier,

Magnun Lemay, Leo Lajoie (skip). Bill McjLelster, “Adrien Charlebois,

Leo Lacombe, Dr. D. J. Dolan (skip). '

Which Season Is It ? Nature Lover Asks

(Contributed) There is a road leading north

from St. Raphael’s Parish Hall. A walk down that road is an education.

First of all, the road itself is an example of the durability of pioneer building. In the more worn spots, one may see relics of the log bed- which formed the corduroy foundation.

Sunday afternoon there was evidence of three seasons in -that vicinity. The noise which scared you for a moment was not a con- cealed tractor suddenly set in motion, but a bevy of partridges whose meal of dried grapes you had interrupted. Autumn? Cer- tainlyi

Enjoying 4-H Club Congress At Chicago

J. Y. Humphries, local agricultural representative, yesterday had word from a Dalkeith youth, Donald A. Mc- Lennan, 18, who is one of a group of 24 Ontario Junior Farmers this week in the Windy City as guests at the annual congress of 4-H Clubs. Gordon Bennett, former Glengarry Ag. Rep., now of Clinton, Ont., is group leader, and young McLennan reports the group is being royally treated by their Am- erican cousins.

A son of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Mc- Lennan, Dalkeith, Donald earned his trip to Chicago by winning high ag- gregate among county Junior Farmers in seed and livestock judging. o

Son Of Glengarrian Played With Bombers

District sport fans had an added interest,, in. the Grey Cup Dominion football final at Toronto, Saturday, through the fact that one of the Win- nipeg linemen, and one of only a few Canadians on the starting line-up, was the son of an ex-Glengarrian. Playing inside guard was big, Jim McPherson, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald R. Mc- Pherson of Winnipeg.

AN EDITORIAL—

Some Type of Warning Is Needed Friday’s accident at Glen Gordon which took the life of a St.

Raphael’s resident, points up the recommendations of the coroner’s jury which just a year ago examined the circumstances leading to the death of another motorist under very similar conditions at the same spot.

That jury added a strong recommendation that adequate signal lights “be placed at the crossing to indicate the presence of a stationary train”.

The C.P.R. line at Glen Gordon sees so little train traffic that district motorists have come to regard the crossing there as one at which ordinary safety precautions need not toe taken. The record of the past three years, when two deaths and serious injury to- several others have resulted from three cars crashing into standing trains, indicates that that attitude makes the Glen Gordon crossing possibly more of a hazard than the main line intersections.

Recent improvement of the highway and the consequent tendency to greater speeds adds to the danger of serious accidents'.

Train crews, we understand, are provided with timetables which designate certain crossings as ones at which the trainmen must protect traffic when the highway crossing is blocked. Ordinary crossing signs are considered adequate in other instances.

If it is considered that the Glen Gordon crossing does not justify a wig-wag signal, would it not be possible to have this point defined as one of the stops where train, crews must flag down traffic whenever the crossing is blocked.

Officials' of the adjoining municipalities might well make it their business to see that recommendations of the next coroner ’s jury result in some action to provide more protection at the Glen Gordon crossing.

Widespread Damage Windstorm Saturday

Every Section Of County Hit By Big Blow — Much Damage To Roofs

All sections of Glengarry suffered minor damage in Saturday’s windstorm, though county residents got off much lighter than other sections of Ontario and the northeast states of the U.S., which were hard hit by wind and snow.

Most widespread damage was to roofs, many of which were completely torn off in scattered sections of the country. At least two barns were blown down, trees were uprooted and power interrupted over lengthy periods. Maxville was hardest hit by power failure, the lights being off through most of Saturday and Sunday. Line failure between Martintown and Corn- wall plunged Alexandria into darkness at 111 p.m. Saturday, though one circuit in the north end of town had been out earlier due to falling trees. The lights came on again at 8 a,m, Sunday, ending a ticklish situation for those dependent on power for heating and cooking.

Alexandria’s streets were littered with tree branches, Sunday, as well as by lengths of tin roofing. The roof on the home of Mrs. J. A. McDonald, over the Liquor Store, was lifted completely as were several tin roofs on barns and other buildings. A big show window in Glengarry Motor Sales was blown in.

Only injuries from the wind were reported from Lochiel, where Martin Lacroix needed seven stitches for a gash in his head suffered when blown from the barn roof, where he was nail- ing down some loose sheeting. Jimmy MDcPhee, in the - same area, had his knee cut when the wind caught a barn door he was closing.

At Cornwall, the big stand at the Athletic Grounds was completely wrecked by the wind.

Pin Removed From Lung Of John Huot 9

(Ottawa Citizen) There was rejoicing in the Huot

family, living at 35 Warwick Place, when an operation to remove a pin lodged in the lung of John Huot, 9, was successful Tuesday in Phila- delphia.

John swallowed the pin in his excitement Saturday, while listening to the Grey Cup football game over the radio in hts home. It went down his windpipe and came to rest in his lung.

Doctors at the Ottawa Civic Hos- pital, where he was taken at once, failed to locate the -pin so John was flown to the Chevalier Jackson Clinic .in Philadelphia, Penn., where the successful operation was performed Tuesday,

Three Townships To Vote Monday As Result Of Municipal Nominations

Contests For Reeveship And Council In Lochiel And Lancaster Townships — Charlottenburgh To Vote On Councillors

Stock Lost When Kenyon Barn Burned

Voters will go to the polls in three Glengarry municipalities, Monday — in Lochiel, Lancaster and Charlottenburgh Townships — to elect members of the council boards for 1991. In Lochiel and Lancaster there will be contests for, the reeveship and for council seats, a new deputy-reeve in each case winning an acclamation as the present deputies move up to seek the higher post.

In Charlottenburgh, John McLennan and Oormic Macdonell remain as *reeve and deputy-reeve and there will

be a fight for council seats with Oliver McGee of Summerstown joining the three present councillors, Percy La- plante, D. K. McDougall and Carlyle Watt in the contest. School Area trustees are Valentine McDonald and Ross Munro.

Although there are no contests in the other four Glengarry municipalities, the acclamations involve some changes of personnel in every section.

Chief interest in the Lochiel bal- lotting centres around the vote for reeveship between the veteran reeve, J. W. MacLeod, Dhlkeith, and his deputy, Ovila Massie, Alexandria. Hugh McDonald, Glen Sandfield, moves up from his council seat to receive an acclamation as dèputÿ-reévé, and two newcomers to council, Michael Mc- Cormick, Lochiel, and Roy MacMillan, Alexandria, will contest the three council seats with Aza Chenier, Alex- andria, and Eugene Ranger, Dalkeith.

Five Township Area school trustees were acclaimed: W. D. MacLeod, D. J. MacLeod, J. K. MacLeod, Ian Irvine and Neil Blair.

The same set-up prevails in Lan- caster Township, where T, Scott Fraser, reeve of Lancaster, is opposed

by deputy-reeve Josephus Filion, Green Valley. Duncan A. Oondie of Bains-

ville, a councillor this year, receives an

acclamation for deputy-reeve, and five

are seeking the three council seats: Gilbert Gauthier* Green Valley; John D. A. Macdonald, Bridge End; Gerald Sangster and Louts Samson, Bains-

ville, and Arcade Trottier, 9th Lan- caster. Three trustees for the Town- ship Area School Board received acclamations, George Osborne and John McBain, Bainsville, and Raymond Mc- Donell, Bridge End;

In Alexandria, withdrawals of several nominees obviated an election at the last minute. Mayor R. J. Graham and Reeve A. A. McDonald received acclamations, as did four Of the present councillors: Stephen O’Connor, Jr., Ambrose Lalonde, Edeas Choquette and Eugene Macdonald. Councillors Kaoul

Nine cows, two horses and a brood sow were burned to death in a fire during last Thursday night which destroyed the bam on the farm of D. St. John, 3rd Kenyon, formerly known as the Sandy Kippen farm. The loss also included a tractor, light truck, two threshing mills and other farm machinery.

When first noticed, the fire was too far advanced to permit the saving of any of the contents.

Woman To Serve On Separate School Bd.

Mrs. Exalpha Bourcier, 30 - 1st Lochiel, will be the first of her sex to serve on the board of trustees of Sep- arate School Section 10, Alexandria, when she takes office in January. Mrs. Bourcier was one of five nominated to represent St. George’s Ward, but necessity for an election was avoided when the four men gallantly stepped aside to give Mrs. Bourcier an acclamation.

Election of Mrs. Bourcier, we understand, stems from the growing unrest of ratepayers residing outside the town limits over the steadily rising school rates, both public and separate. Resi- dents of the 1st Lochiel have been studying the problem and they sought representation on the trustee board to see if some means could be worked out whereby the heavy load borne by rural ratepayers might be eased. They feel that the heavier assessment of the average farm as compared with the average town holding burdens them to an extent that is not fair.

The 33 nominations for various offices at Alexandria’s nomination meeting Friday, seemed to bear out predictions of a contest, here. Failure of many to qualify, however, and the withdrawal of several others at the last" minute made an election un- necessary.

There was a large attendance at the meeting when Mayor R. J. Graham re- viewed council’s many activities of the year and other projects planned for the coming year. Reeve Angus A. Mc- Donald and the councillors also spoke briefly. M)

Carrière Hatchery Near Maxville Razed

Loss estimated at from $16,000 to $18,000 resulted from a fixe which destroyed a large chick hatchery and at- tached frame residence owned by Domina Carrière, near Maxville, early Thursday morning of last week.

The hatchery, which has a capacity of 32,000 chicks, was empty when the fire broke out in the top storey at 2 o’clock in the morning. It is situated on the 16th Concession, about a mile and a half south of Maxville.

One of Mr. Carrier’s daughters was awakened when smoke drifted into her bedroom through the open window. She roused her parents, brothers and sisters, and the family escaped into the below freezing weather.

Maxville fire department responded to a call but when they arrived at the scene it was too late to save the hatchery and they concentrated their efforts on preventing the fire from spreading to surrounding buildings.

Also destroyed was a garage at the front end of the house.

Clement and J. A. Roussin- withdrew in favor of Archie Gauthier: and Arthur Proulx. Arnold Weir and Leo Lacombe were retur ned to the Public » Utilities Commission and Separate School trustees are Elié Davidi, Donatien Theoret and Mrs. Rose Ann Bourcier.

r-.-\ , '.‘y*’1 . '

D. D. MacKinnon of Dunvegan, deputy-reeve of Kenyon, was given an acclamation to the post of reeve, from which J. D. MaoLean retires after a two-year term. Hugh Raymond of Apple Hill, is the new deputy-reeve, and two other councillors, Allah Val- lance, Dominionville, and Dan Flaro, Greenfield, remain in their posts with one newcomer. Dr A. Gray of Dun- vegan. Three Township School Area trustees were returned to office: Dr. D. M. Gamble, W. J. Hunter and Dan McKinnon.

Dr. H. K. Abbey becomes reeve of Lancaster Village, succeeding James A. McArthur, who retires from office after a long record of service which included the wardenship of United Counties’ Council last year. . Stewart McGillis, Fred Villeneuve and Albert Seguin are again councillors, with Fred Throsbyv who replaces Emile Leroux. George Aylett and James Sinnott are again PUD. commissioners.

Last year’s complete council, headed by Reeve W. A. MacEwen, is returned in Maxville. Councillors are D. S. Ferguson, John W. MacEwen, J. N. Fitzgerald and C. G. McKillican. Rod- erick McDonald was returned: for a two-year term as hydro commissioner, and Clarence L. MacGregor for a one- year term to fill the vacancy caused by the departure of Peter D. Maelnnes.

Resume Of Activities Of Counties’ Council During 1950

The following is a report of activities at Counties’ Council during 1950, given us for publication by Reeve A. A. McDonald of Alexandria:

Roads

Roads appropriation, being the greatest single expenditure of Council, de- serves first consideration.

The cost of building and maintaining county roads, as is the case with provincial highways and township roads, is increasing from year to year. This increase is due to.'increased traffic and to the demands of the ratepayers for increased services in better roads for summer traffic and thoroughly opened roads during the wintermonths.

With due consideration to the above facts, Council this year increased road appropriation from $400,000 in 1949 to $460,000 in 1950, with the result that county roads are in better, condition at the close of this season despite the fact that labour and material seem to be ever on the increase.

The following is a break-down, of road expenditure to the end of October:

Road Expenditure

To September 30.th, 1950 Maintenance $183,947.13 Construction 99,086.49 'New Machinery, Stock, etb. . 18,201.89 General Expense 16,092.14

Health Unit

It should not be necessary to discuss this branch of county activities to any great length, as it is no doubt apparent to all the good work that is being done in immunization and other activities by the Medical Officer of Health and his staff of nurses and sanitary inspectors.

The improvement in the général health of the youth of these counties, particularly as it applies to communic- able diseases, should be sufficient evidence to warrant the necessary expenditure for this branch, as the greatest asset any community can have is a healthy populace.

Sanatorium

The operation of the Sanatorium does not cost these counties one cent and only a small amount for the paying of debentures, the last of which will be paid up in 1957.

This institution is carrying on the godd work started at its inception. Periodic clinics are held, with the result that new cases of tuberculosis' are detected in the eartyi stages of activity, thereby keeping the period of hospitalization at a minimum.

The history of the institution has changed inasmuch as where, in the past, there was a long waiting list for admission, we now find empty beds or patients being treated whose place of residence is outside these counties.

Education

In 1950 your Council were required “to levy for county pupils to High Schools in those portions of Dundas County that lie outside High School Districts or Areas, and, while the costs involved! have increased they do not apply to the Counties of Stormont or Glengarry where larger High School Areas are in effect.

Agriculture As in the past, your Council have

given due consideration to agriculture and agricultural projects by the paying of grants to associations and organizations which are sponsoring agricultural activities.

Weed inspectors are appointed for each county with the hope anld inten- tion of keeping noxious weeds at a minimum.

Reforestation

Council by the Honourable the Minister of Public Welfare, to accommodate those who, as they reach the sear and yellow leaf of old age, become mentally incapable of caring for themselves, and, due to the fact that there is no other place available, are now com- mitted to The Ontario Hospitals for •the Insane, but who are not, in any sense, proper patients for such institu- tions, but childish, aged persons who deserve a more desirable environment.

All circumstances considered, your Council feel that this Home was much needed and, when completed, will be a haven of rest and comfort for the aged and infirm of these counties and a source of pride to all the citizens thereof.

Report On Fowl Cholera Does Not Apply To Canada

OTTAWA, Nov. 21. — Recent press reports indicate that turkeys affected with fowl cholera have been found in the Detroit area. Under certain conditions, poultry affected with this dis- ease when used for food may be detri- mental to human health. In order to reassure the buying public and the

poultry industry, the Department of Agriculture announced today that Canadian poultry flocks, including turkeys, are in no way involved.

Children’s Aid Society This brarfch of Social Service, as has

been the history for the past few years, is on the increase,- and what was, not so many years ago, a minor expenditure is today about 12% of the total outlay of these counties. Your Council, having no control or jurisdiction over this organization, feel that the Pro- vincial Government should assume a greater percentage of this expenditure, and have petitioned the Department of Public Welfare accordingly. It is therefore, hoped that some relief for the direct taxpayer may be in the offing in this connection.

As was reported last year, sub-mar- ginal land has been purchased in each of the three counties, and an agreement has been entered into with the Department of Lands and Forests for the developing of, and caring for, these plots. It can now be said thp-t up- wards of 100,000 trees have been planted on the said plots and time should show the worthiness of this undertaking.

Home For the Aged

Last year your Council reported that a site had been purchased for a new Home for the Aged. It can now be stated that the erection of this Home is in progress, a contract having been let to the R. E. Stewart Construction Corporation for the completion of the buildings for the amount of $821,400, of which 50% will .be paid by the De- partment of Public Welfare of the Province of Ontario. .

Your Council have entered into an agreement with the City of Cornwall whereby the counties are to have available space for a maximum of 50 city inmates in the new home, for which the city has agreed to pay 75% of one- quarter of the cost of erecting the said Home. It is, of course, understood and agreed that the city shall reimburse the counties on a per diem basis for all city inmates in the Home from year to year.

A by-law has been passed on the approval of the Ontario Municipal Board for the borrowing of $1,006,000 for the completion of the new Home,

■ anil, when, one-half is received from the Department of Public Welfare and -75% of one-quarter from the city, the amount to he levied on these counties will be approximately $27,000 per an- num for twenty years, or one-half mill on the county levy for the said twenty years.

There are many reasons why the De- partment of Public Welfare and the. Counties’ Council entered into this pro- ject, a few of which might be mentioned :

(1) To accommodate the aged and infirm, many of whom are able and willing to pay their way, and others receiving Old Age Pension and thereby able to pay their way but who, at present, are unable to find accommo- dations.

(2) To relieve the hospitals of chronic patients who can be treated and car ell for in this institution, but who are presently occupying beds in our hospitals that are needed for more critical and emergent cases, and at a greater expense to the taxpayer.

YOU CAN STOP FASTER THAN THE BIG

FELLOW!

Hello, Homemakers! “Time” waits for ho man. Before we get Mown to polishing and repairing the necessary equipment and furnishings, Christmas will be here. Everyone likes a spic and span house for the festive season and there are instances when a good patch- job can be done successfully. For example, the floor which requires polishing may be waxed only in the traffic area if you remove the old wax from the tracked part of the floor first with a floor cleaner. Then two thin coats of fresh wax is better than a heavy coat. Polish well 30 minutes after each ap- plication. Curtains may have already T>een laundered or dry-cleaned — if not, the cleaning plants will not have the same rush now as later. Perhaps the curtains, rugs, and blankets can be cleaned within a limited time.

The lampshades of stitched silk material can be successfully washed in warm suds, rinsed and hung to dry. The glued silk shades may be'sponged with, a dry-cleaner. For genuine parchment shades some believe that only neat’s foot oil or a blend of ten parts mineral oil and one part turpentine can be used safely. Others claim that liquid wax or turpentine should be used to clean vellum or imitation parchment. It is also safe to brush thermoplastic shades in cold water with pure soapflakes, then rinse each small portion and dry before proceed- irig to the next.

Pictures and mirrors must be dusted frequently. The work can be done more easily if you take a moment to lift than down. Don’t let the picture

frames or the back of the mirrors get wet; use a slightly damp cloth.

Isolated stains which may appear on painted Walls or woodwork in rooms can be removed with a light applica- tion of commercial paint cleaner. Smudges will often disappear if they are rubbed gently with artgum eraser.

For the benefit of those who want Santa Claus to bring them a new electric polisher or vacuum cleaner, remember you can rent one to do the job in quick order.

TAKE A TIP

1. Attach rubber washers to the bot- tom of the dishpan to avoid leaving black marks on the sink and drain- board. A waterproof glue, such as aeroplane cement, will hold the washers.

2. A child’s plastic hank is a handy container for discarded razor blades.

3. Ordinary plaster will not hold1 the screw’hooks that are used in hang- ing piotures, but if a hole has been drilled in the wall, fill with plastic wood which has hardened for an hour, then the wood will hold the hooks firmly without any cracks or chips in the plaster.-

4. Spread a thin coat of colourless nail polish over a band-aid on a cut finger. You can then wash the dishes without it coming ofl.

5. When the motor pulley on a sewing machine has become worn and glazed, it can be repaired by slipping on a new rubber sleeve.

6. Bibb washers can replace worn rubber feet on electric toasters using a hollow rivet which can be puncheid through the comers.

Thomas Hayes, 85 Dies At Cornwall

Suffering a heart attack on Monday, November 20th, and falling to rally, Thomas Hayes, formerly a well known farmer on the South Branch, Williams- town, died at the Hotel Dieu Hospital, Cornwall, fortified by the last rites of the Roman Catholic Church. His death will be regretted by many friends in the district, by whom he was held in high esteem.

Born in Lancaster, 85 years ago on November 6th, 1865, he was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Hayes, his mother being the former Margaret Downey. He spent most of his life on the South Branch, but disposed of his farm five years ago and went to Corn- wall to reside with a daughter, Mrs. Alex McDonald, 319 Seventh street

west. He was predeceased by his wife, the

former Elizabeth Abrams. Surviving are two daughters: Mrs. Emile La- treille, Ottawa, and Mrs. Alex Mc- Donald, Cornwall. He also leaves five grandchildren.

Many relatives anjd friends assembled at Miller’s Funeral Home, Cornwall, Friday morning, to pay tribute to his memory by attending the funeral to St. Mary’s Church and cemetery, Wil- liamstown.

The Requiem High Mass was sung by Rev. A. L. McDonald, pastor, who also officiated at the graveside.

Paulbearers were Tim Gauthier, Robert McDonald, D. R. Abrams, D. J. Abrams, Bernard Abrams and Clarence Osier.

Mr. and Mrs. Emile Latreille, the latter a daughter, came from Ottawa to attend the funeral. Many relatives and friends were present from Corn- wall, Williamstown, Summerstown and

Royal Rug To Be On Display In Cornwall Next Week

A beautiful han/f/wrought rug, which in the past few months has received wide publicity and admiration, is to be seen in Cornwall on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, December 4th, 5th and 6th, in the auditorium of Memorial Park School. The rug in question is that designed and made by Her Majesty, the Queen Mother Mary, which has been purchased for Canada by the Imperial order Daughters of the Empire at a cost of $100,000..

Preparations are now hi progress for the display of the royal rug by St. Lawrence and Stormont Chapters, I.O.DE.

Open To Public Primary school children of the city

and the United Counties, accompanied1

by their teachers, will be able to see the rug at assigned hours of the morning. From 9 am. to 9.30 p.m., on Mon- day and Tuesday and to 3 p.m. on Wednesday the exhibit will be open to the general public. A small admission fee is being charged to assist in raising the necessary sum paid by the Daugh- ters of the Empire for the rug.

the carpet will hang in a public place.” Purchased For $100,000

The Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire offered to the British Carpet Committee to establish a Fund open to the general public to raise as much money as possible, with the minimum objective of $100,000 with which to purchase the royal carpet for Canada. As a small proportion of the people of Canada had seen the carpet on its recent tom, it was hoped every loyal Canadian would visit the display and help the United Kingdom ease its dollar shortage. The public display of Queen Mary’s carpet at the Canadian National Exhibition marked the in- auguration of a Dominion-wide cam- paign by the I.OD.E, AU net proceeds of the displays and collections' wUl go to Queen Mary’s Carpet Fund, On completion of this fund the much travelled royal carpet will be presented to the National Gallery, Ottawa, as the gift of the Canadian people.

For RESULTS Use —^ On Dominion-Wide Tour

In its tour through the Dominion the royal carpet is accompanied by Mrs. R. M. Walkey, organizing secretary of the National Chapter. She will arrive in Cornwall on Sunday afternoon and will assist the committee in charge in setting it up at the Memorial School.

Queen Mary worked on the EngUsh 18th Century design handmade needle- point carpet, 10’2” by 6’9)4”, for eight years, picturing it taking due place among the family heirlooms in Windsor Castle.

When Britain’s economic crisis became acute the Queen Mother decided to give it as her personal contribution to the nation to be sold as a doUar export, with the only stipulation “that

companies. These people, alone and in groups, borrowed John Smith’s, Mrs. Brown’s and Dr. Jones’ money to buy machines, materials, stores, and buildings or to provide working capital, so that they could make and sell in increasing abundance all the varied things that all of us want and use in our daily lives.

Farmers, for instance, were able to improve their livestock, to build new barns or acquire new equipment because they were able to borrow part of the money entrusted to the Bank.

Individuals with sound business ideas were able to turn these ideas into useful enterprises.

Companies were able to grow and make more and better jobs.

That part of the Bank’s assets being used for all these varied loans, both in Canada and abroad, totalled $366,714,962.74.

Yes, $818,107,524.13 is a lot of money. But, through the services of The Bapk of Nova Scotia, Canadians across the land, by putting this money to work for themselves, were able to serve the best interests of every Canadian.

The figure of $818,107,524.13 represents the total assets of

The Bank of Nova Scotia as at October 31st, 1950.

This large sum exists because tens of thousands of Canadians continue to.),

deposit their money in The Bank of Nova Scotia.

It is an accumulation of active money made possible by the savings of men and women— and of children, too.

What did this active money do? Part of it— $81,858,536.22 to be exact—was held by the Bank in the form of cash, for the Bank’s day to day operations.

Another part of it was loaned to the Dominion and other governments of Canada, the provinces and counties, cities and towns. This money helped to build schools, roads, bridges, water- works, parks, public buildings and to provide a variety of community services. A total of $249,620,156.88 was on loan in various forms to these public bodies.

But the biggest part was put to work by thousands upon thousands of individuals and

The large crowd spent the evening playing euchre. Mrs. A. Villeneuve and Mr. Art Charlton were the win- ners, and Robert Haggart and Joan Currier received consolation prizes.

The beautiful doll, which has been on display for several weeks, just want- ing someone to guess her name, was there. The tickets were examined and not one named “Dorcas”. So she was auctioned, and Mi-, T. Scott took the prize home.

During the evening, candy was sold and the Touch and Take table was very popular.

Maxville Defeats Hawkesbury 11-5

(Maxville High School won their third straight football game at Haw- kesbury, Wednesday of last week, when they defeated Hawkesbury English High School 11-5. Ronald MacDonald was -the big gun for the visitors with six points, and Ronald Villeneuve got the other touchdown.

In the opening kickoff HawkeSbury kicked the ball out of bounds three times, then Maxville scrimmaged the ball on the 55-yard line.

After an exchange of kicks, Max- ville’s MacDonald kicked for a single from the Hawkesbury 40. That was all the scoring done in the first quarter.

In the second frame, Hawkesbury’s fastest player, George. Glu-ppe, scored a touchdown, which Maxville disputed to no avail, as illegal blocking. The .second quarter ended 5-il in Hawkes- bury’s favor, and it remained that way until the final quarter when Maxville started rolling.

The visitors had threè chances to score when they scrimmaged on Haw- kesbury’s 3-yard line. MacDonald scored a touchdown which was disal- lowed, but a few minutes later Max- ville intercepted a pass and scrimmaged from the Hawkesbury 25-yard line, then marched to the two, where Villeneuve plunged over. With three minutes left Villeneuve -tossed a pass from Hawkesbury’s 16 to MacDonald, who made the final score.

“Let’s Cook It Right” The class, “Let’s Cook It Right”, was

held in the W.I. Hall on Thursday morning and all day Friday, with Miss Elaine Found of Toronto as demon- strator.

A large number of women listened with interest to the instructions given by Mits Found. The demonstrations were all interesting and the food prepared delectable. Many new recipes were given and ideas exchanged.

After the demonstration a short business meeting of the W.I. was held.

Much Storm Damage Maxville and district was hard hit

by -the severe windstorm that struck- on Saturday morning, and increases in velocity until it blew itself out about four o^clook Sunday morning.

Saturday afternoon, football, fans were disgusted as the hydro was off and they couldn’t hear thé game.

The first circuit of lights blacked out at nine âm. and the other ones had to be closed at ten. Branches and limbs were on both hydro and telephone lines, and some lines were down

Several buildings were moved from their foundations, roofs were blown off, and fences down.

Sunday the village was a hive, of activity as the hydro and telephone men worked to restore service before evening.

After' an 18-hour blàcjkout, the hydro lines were repaired and Tights were on at four.

Local Presbyterian and '"United Churches had to cancel their morning services, on account of thé lack of electricity, which operates their furnaces.

Telephone service was uninterrupted. Local section men were busy on the lines all day Sunday clearing branches from wires, etc.

To the Electors of the Township of Lochiel :

Having been nominated for a further term of office as Reeve of your Township, and having been approached and strongly urged by so many of our ratepayers to remain in office, I have decided to contest the forthcoming election. I wish to take this opportunity of thanking my nominators for this renewed confidence they have placed in me.

I have held this office for some few years and have gained considerable experience and knowledge of our Township’s requirements. It has always been my main and determined ambition to serve everyone, with a good honeit economical and satisfac- tory administration, for the general welfare of all the citizens and ratepayers of our good township, giving the same good consideration to everyone, without any exception.

During my term of office I was largely instrumental in bringing about many valuable improve- ments in every part of our township. But there are many more important matters of interest to our ratepayers that must be dealt with this coining year, which will require all the experience and 1 knowledge that I possess.

I feel that I am in a better position to deal with these municipal matters and to serve and , preserve your best interests, which I shall always do, to the very best of my ability.

On my honest and good administration of the past, I appeal to you for your support in this forthcoming election and assure you that in casting your vote in my favor you will never have reason to regret.

Hoping y oil will vote for me and support me on Monday, De- cember 4th, I am

Your very humble servant, J. W. MacLECKD, Reeve,

Aux électeurs du

canton de Lochiel:

Ayant été proposé pour la re- prise de fonction comme reeve de votre commune et en plus, ayant été faitement pressé par de nom- breux contribuables à demeurer en fonction, j’ai décidé de con- tester les prochaines élections. Je profite de l’occasion pour remecier mes présentateurs qui renouvellent ainsi leur confiance en moi. i

J’ai occupé ce poste depuis plusieurs années; je connais les besoins de notre commune. Ma seule ambition a toujours été de vous servir de mon mieux; mon administration a été honnête et économique. Toujours, j’ai cher- ché le bien être de tous, sans exception.

All-Out Fight Only Course To Get Action On Margarine

The Ontario Cheese Producers are | local members in counties with a heavy

FORTY YEARS AGO Friday, December 2, 1910

prepared to back other Ontario dairy groups and the Ontario Federation in an all-out fight to get a complete ban on margarine in this province. This was decided at the idirectors’ meeting in Toronto last week.

W. O. Coon, Elgin, brought up the subject. He Wanted every county president to join with representing the four organizations to organize farmers and place the facts before the county member at Toronto. “Make your local member feel that he, too, has to fight this issue with us”, he stated.

Mr. Coon stated that the Dairy Co- ordinating Committee, representing the four organizations of milk producers, had recently decided to fight for a complete ban. The Ontario Federation had promised. support and the Dairy Farmers of Canada would be asked to join in.

On motion of Hector Arnold and John Kelso the meeting agreed to support the idea.

“We still feel that to ask and demand a complete ban on this foreign product is the only sensible approach. We may not get all we ask but present regulations on margarine are no use and the only way to get attention and some protection is to ask and demand the utmost.

“After all we are only asking for the sort of protection every other industry in Ontario works under. We have approached labor leaders and they are commencing to see this. They are commencing to realize a cheap spread is no substitute for jobs and that there will be fewer jobs, more men out of work, if farmers cannot purchase.

“The only way to get some decent treatment is to go out and fight on this issue. Then we at least will get something better than we have now. We are going to ask you to organize in every county in Ontario”.

Charles Shaver, Stormont, was some- what dubious of getting the support of

Mr. Hugh D. McDonald, Glen Roy, on Monday shipped, via C.P.R., a carload of horses to Cochrane, where he has extensive concrete work, on the Grand Trunk Pacific.

Marjerison Headed Resolutions Group

■Reflecting the uncertainty evident among all cheese milk producers in the province and. the difficulty being ex- perienced by county officers in coming to definite conclusions was the lack of resolutions before last week’s directors’ meeting in Toronto. Only three were presented, two from the executive of Ru&sell County an!d one passed at the annual Lennox and Addington patrons’ meeting.

Secretary Heath commented on this. Of eight annual meetings members of the executive and he had attended not a single resolution had emerged in open meeting. However, it was ex- pected there would be more before the annual meeting on January 4th and 5th, and the following resolutions committee was named: H. S. Marjerison, chairman; J. F. Bertrand, J. B. Elliott and Douglas Hunt.

The three resolutions sent in were read and approved on a tentative basis, subject to later action by the executive. They will likely come before the annual meeting. Here they are: From Russell County—

That, owing to the difference in price paid for milk used in the manufacture of cheese and milk sent to the fluid market, and owing to the importance of cheese as an outlet for the surplus milk, we ask the Federal Gov- ernment to raise the price of cheese so that the cheese industry will not decline any further and be in a position to compete on even terms wjth prices paid to farmers shipping their milk to other channels. (Passed.)

That in an effort to eliminate ex- traneous matter from cheese so that Canadian Cheddar may compete on any market in the . world, and so that we epn manufacture a more whole- some product for both home and foreign consumption, we would ask the Federal Government to pay a subsidy on cheese from milk that would meet standards set up by the Government, on condition that it would not affect the actual subsidy on cheese grading 93 and 94. (Passed.) From Lennox and Addington—

That this association is in favor of the executive of the Ontario Cheese Producers’ Association ascertaining before the annual meeting if the Mar- keting Board is strong enough at present to market our own product both on the domestic and foreign mar- kets. If not, that we ask the Federal Government to continue requisitioning of cheese in 1951 at a price of 35 cents f.o.b. factory and that the fluid milk industry 'be asked to support our re-

city and town vote. “These chaps want their jobs in Toronto and voters in the cities and towns don’t care what happens to us farmers”, he stated.

Mr. Coon replied that it was in such urban centres that real missionary work would do the most good. “Show them that their jobs are in danger, that even a few days layoff would cost them more than they save by using a substitute for butter which is produced by the people who buy a lot of then- goods and services. There are a lot of labor people who are being convinced by these arguments.

Other members suggested that the place to start was with farmers and far mfamilies who were using the substitute. Too much margarine was being sold in rural districts, some said.

“Let’s get at this job and do it right”, several members cried out. o

Bumper Crop Year Reported In Counties

The November report on crop conditions prepared by the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture, indicates farmers in Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry have enjoyed one of the best seasons on record.

Grain output for the province is above a 10-year average, exceeded only in 1918 and 1920.

Hay and clover crops in the province were down slightly from the 10-year average, while the corn yield is up con- siderably.

Summaries are based on reports made by agricultural representatives of the various districts.

In Stormont, the hay yield was fair but below average. Quality was ex- tremely good as a general rule. The grain crop Was exceptionally good, both in quality and quantity. Most farmers harvested more grain per acre than for many years.

The silage corn crop was also con- siderably above average. Grain corn was slow to mature, but the crop was generally good.

Favorable growing conditions this fall have permitted livestock to remain on adequate pasture, thus saving harvested feed supplies. Livestock will go into winter quarters in good condition. The winter’s feed situation appears quite favorable and above average.

Glengarry Outlook Feed supplies in Glengarry will be

adequate. An average crop of hay was harvested, but was of comparatively poor quality due to lack of clovers.

Ensilage corn was an excellent crop and a large number of new silo were constructed.

The grain crop was the largest harvested in many years. Roots were an average crop.

Cattle are going into stable for the winter in good condition after an excellent pasture season.

Dundas Report There will be a plentiful supply of

both roughage and grain for winter feeding.

One of the best grain harvests of the past five years has been stored. Coro for silage was a bumper crop with all silos filled to overflowing.

Grain corn may not be as good quality as it was a year ago as it was caught by an early frost.

Hay was the poorest crop in the county this year, but it will be sufficient.

Butter In 2000 B.C. And 1950 A.D.

There can be no doubt that butter was churned and used some thousands of years before the birth of Christ. Historians and researchers have found many references to butter in records originating earlier than 2000 B.C. These have been traced to the early Indians of Asia, the Hebrews, Greeks Arabs, Egyptians, Persians, Romans and Teutons. These records also indicate that the churning of butter was done, principally in the cooler lati- tudes.

There are numerous réferences to butter in the Old Testament. In the very first book, Genesis, 18:8, it is learned that “. . . he (Abraham) took butter, milk and the calf and set it before them . . .” Again, at Proverbs, 30:33, “Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter,” Strangely enough, 19th century historians found no traces of the husbandry of milk giving animals or the use of milk as food in the histories of the early dwellers of South and North America, Australia or New Zealand, countries that, today, are noted for their dairy production.

That more uses were founld for butter long before the Christian era than are common today, is one of the oddities of the history of that natural food. Many properties were attributed to butter by the world’s early people. The Hindus accounted it a sacred food and it was used extensively in the greatest and holiest sacrifices of their worship. Butter was the essential to the wedding feast of a Hindu maiden. Macedonians used it as a healing oint- ment and as an internal medicine in addition to its natural use as food. The Romanis used butter to anoint bodies afflicted with pain. All used it as food. Among the early, high people, butter was melted and stored and used to enrich other foods prepared for important feasts. These people regarded it as a rich delicacy.

That milk or cream would churn into butter was probably discovered through the early practice of trans- porting milk in animal skin pouches. There is record of milk souring, fer- menting and curdling in such contain- ers, and, in all probability, the sway- ing, bumpy motion of this method of transport produced butter. It is known that early Arabians used animal skin- pouches for the churning of butter.

Obviously there is vast difference between the butter of those early days arid the 300 or more million pounds now produced every year in Canada. Their pitifully crude methods of production are supplanted now by stream- lined sanitary methods. Today, in the making of this premier food, we have the scientific feeding of the cattle, advanced barn and milking equipment to insure sanitary handling, clean modern transportation methods; modern churning and processing equipment to gain the utmost in quality and flavour, refrigeration to preserve these qualities, plus pasteurization for health protection and to assist in holding the flavour and adding to the keeping qualities. Inspection from cow to counter is compulsory.

The ancients did not have these advantages, nor did they have any knowledge of proteins, vitamins and caloric content. They seemed to realize, in- stinctively, that butter was a health- giving food. People, today, are pro- tected by law against butter of inferior quality. Butter sold now must contain not less than 80 per cent of butterfat and not more than 16 per cent of moisture. Each pound contains about 3,298 calories or, if a working man con- sumed no other food than one pound of butter each day, his caloric intake would be sufficient for his needs. Work- ers engaged in light labour require around 2,800 calories per day. Present

day butter has .941 per cent of digest- ible protein (Hunziker). Vitamins A, Bl, B2, C, D and E are found in butter in rich quantity and well balanced proportion.

When the food value of butter is regarded in the light of its nutritional content, it is small wonder that the ancients placed butter as one of the “firsts” in the foods of their day. With all of the present day advantages, but-

ter is now, more than ever, one of the “firsts” in our foods.

Here’s some more rugby news! On Friday afternoon our rugby team again proved its skill by defeating Vankleek Hill Collegiate Institute 20. to 2 in one of the last games of the season. Out of a six-game series our player® man- aged to be victorious in every contest. The star of the season, as you have no doubt guessed, is Angus Cameron, who chalked up 56 points in all. On Friday, Angus Cameron, Lowell Ostrom and Kaye Hay each showed his skill by adding a touchdown to their records. Angus Cameron also made a field goal and a single, while Angus MacDonald assisted with a convert. Congratula- tions, boys!

A capacity crowd attended the second public concert on Wednesday, which featured the Ottawa Technical School Band,. Their keen performance should stimulate students and show the beauty and importance of such music. It is everyone’s utmost desire that these concerts continue in Alex- andria.

The Scots will again bring out their plaids and tartans on Friday when Glengarrians will meet in. the Alex- ander Hall for the annual St. Andrew’s celebration. Some of our High School students will display their various talents in this concert.

As the season for cranberry sauce and turkey approaches, each one of us finds himself wondering what Santa Claus will bring down the chimney. Far back in some remote part of a student's mind lies the all-important question, “Did I fulfill my duties well enough all year to deserve something nice for Christmas, or did I not talk enough in class, shoot enough erasers, or in short, did I fail to provide enter- tainment for my classmates?” Perhaps it would be better if the answers to the questions were not published due to the fact that teachers and pupils may differ on various points. However, no matter what the teachers’ inner-
