Following sev­ eral mild days it again turned cold­ er and snow covered the ground on Saturday, it was not deep however and motoring was excellent. Monday was quietly observed with many family gatherings. Two hockey games were played at the rink, one with Hensall in the morning and “the other with Ctediton in the af­ ternoon.

There was a close fight for the •reeveship in Exeter on Monday when B ,M. Francis was returned to oc­ cupy the reeve’s chair for the fourth time. Mr. Francis was first elected in 1929. The contest was between W. D. Sanders and Mr. Francis as all members of the council, the board of education and public utili­ ties had been returned by acclama­ tion. There is no change in the personnel of any of the governing bodies of town. The election on Monday was keenly contested and 63 more votes were polled this year than last. The election last year was between the same two gentle­ men although the late Thos. Cam­ eron was in the field and polled 12 votes. The results of the polls of both this year and last were as fol­ lows: Poll 1 2 ‘3 4 Francis 87 148 123 24 Sanders 118 96 103 . 50 382 Majority for Francis 15. 367 VITAL STATISTICS Clerk, Joseph Senior has given out the following vital statistics for Ont., one of the most fammous Jios- 1 last, proaching one million dollars, ^han half covered by insurance.

YOUNG LADY DIES situation during the New Years season been quite satisl'ac- The poultry Christmas and seems to have tory to all concerned.^ While prices were not high there was a steady market and consumers were able to purchase fowl at reasonable prices. Numerous families were able to en­ joy a turkey dinner this year the first for a number of years. Local dealers report a splendid clean up with the exception of dressed geese and duckSy Turkeys of desirable sizes were not plentiful and the larg-. er birds were slower to move. Dur­ ing the season tons -of poultry were shipped from Exeter. Some of our citizens may not appreciate the fact of the splendid every day market in Exeter. During the Christmas season it was noted that many per­ sons had brought their poultry to Exeter from considerable distances no doubt coming here because of the advantageous market. The finest chicken ^handled locally was brought in by Mr. Isaac Dunsford, of Hay. When dressed and coored it weighed nine pounds. This was one of a very fine flock. The largest turkey re­ ported locally was a gobibier weigh­ ing 33 pc-unds and was brought in from near Kippen. Mr. Fred Ho­ garth, of Stephen, brought in a year­ ling gobbler that weighed 28 lbs. Possibly the finest bunch of dressed geese came from Mrs. Milton Mc­ Curdy, of Usborne. They were uni­ form in size and nicely finished. During the past few years there has bewi a remarkable improvement in the quality of the poultry produced and it is quality that commands the market. Among the features of the poultry season were the trips of Mr. L. V. Hogarth to New Ontario with live poultry where he found a ready market.. The foreign element whc work in the mines, demand that they kill their own poultry and pay a pre­ mium for live birds. Local dealers anticipate a steady market for good chicken which will enable the farm­ ers to clean out any remaining flocks left in the country. A shadow of gloom was cast over the community on Sunday when it was learned that Miss Verda Mar­ jorie Clarke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Clarke, of Usborne, had passed away at the age of 23 years and 3 months. The deceased had been ailing only a few days-^witji the flu. Previous to that,-'however, she had not been in th^' best of health* for some time having suffered from rheumatism. Besides her bereaved parents she is survived by two sis­ ters and one brother, Mrs. George Frayne, of Usljbrne, Blanch and Ray at home. The^deceased was a grand­ daughter of Mr. and Mrs? Richard Quance of town, her mother's maid­ en name being Miss Maud Quance , The deceased was of a quiet dispos,- ition and beloved by all who knew her. The funeral was held Tuesday aftqrnoon and a very large crowd was present to pay their last tribute of respect. The minister, Rev. Mr, Rutherford, of Woodham, conduct­ ed the service and paid 1-oving tri­ bute to the splendid, christain char- '. Mr. W. R. Goulding, of town, sang a solo. The pall-ibearers were Harold and Ger­ ald Skinner, Allan Quance, Allan Fetcher and Edwin and Lloyd Haw­ kins, of Seaforth. Interment took place in the Exeter cemetery Among those from a distance whc were present for the funeral were: Mr. Charles Clarke, Mrs. Thomas Thompson and son, Mr. Nelson Flet­ cher and Mrs. H. Fletcher, Mr. and Mrs. K. Werner and Mrs. Hutchin­ son, all of London; Mr. and Mrs. J. Patterson and daughter Marion Detroit. Elected by acclamation last week were: Mayor, M. W.

The order instructed the Sheriff to hold the horse for deliv­ ery to Bice, who will produce "U bond for its possession until such time* as the civil action brought by Bice,I against Norman Blair, of Granton.' has been heard in court. 1 Bice, through his counsel, Foley’ & Myers, issued a writ in Supreme [ Court asking for possession of the! horse, which he claims is his. The plaintiff alleges the race horse was sent to Blair to be trained, but that the defendant refused to return it. Blair is said to be holding the horse because he claims Bice owes him money for training and keeping' it. BicO denies this and says the! arrangement was Blair was to bA OLD FOLKS REMEMBERED r.

COMMUNICATION The Exeter Times-Advacate: Now that the Municipal Council and all other governing bodies are elected it will be wise ror all of them to take heed to what the people are thinking, for down deep in the minds1 of our citizens and the citizens of the whole country is a dread of what may happen. The Dominion and Provincial Governments are going deeper and deeper into debt every year. They give us huge grants for many things, pay themselves unreas­ onably high salaries for a few months or a few weeks’ work and employ an army of men at salaries so large the ordinary can hardly be­ lieve they are really paid. Coming nearer home our people believe that they should not be taxed to pay over $30,00'0 as they did in 1931 for sal­ aries. Will some one tell us how inucli we did pay in that year? That appears to be ah incredible sum for a village of a little over 1600 people to have to pay. Would not half that sum be a large one? Some will say that we receive large grants from the county and province to1 help but who provides the money to pay these grants? Do we not? In the Hydro Department over a million dollars extra has to be pro­ vided to pay the exchange on the interest due in New York. Some one shys fits, lose it will be paid out of the pro- yes, but we have to pay it. We that amount.
