DOCKING Following an illness of several months duration, George Amasa Docking, resident of Hibbert Town­ ship for over 63 years passed away at his home lot 18, con. 6, Hibbert on Wednesday morning. With the death of Mr. Docking Hibbert loses one of its early pioneers and a link with the early history of the town­ ship. Mr. Docking had been ailing for a year and a half but it was only for the bast week that he was con­ fined to his bed. The late Mr. Dock­ ing was born in 1870 on the farm where death occurred and was the only son of the late Edwin and Lu­ cretia Kinsman. ,Twenty-six years ago he married Jessie Moffat The Dockings, Janes and Page families were the first settlers in Hibbert, coming when it was prac­ tically solid bush. Widespread interest and discussion have been aroused on account of the Arms granted by the College of Arms, London, England, to the Univerisity.

Mrs. Pearce was of a very happy and unique event appointed local supt. of Anti-Narco* which occurred at Wardsville on tic and Medical Temperance.

The Rodney Mercury-Sun had the following account of the wedding anniversary: — “It was a very unique occasion when about a hundred members, ot the United Church, Wardsville gathered at the parsonage last Fri­ day evening, August 11th, in honor of Rev. H. B. and Mrs. Parnaby’s 25th wedding anniversary. After a sing-song Mr. C. B. 'Sheppard 'intro­ duced the nature of the gathering and Mr. and Mrs. Parnaby came for­ ward to the strains of the wedding march played by Miss Margaret At­ kinson and took their place behind a nicely decorated table, 'centred with <a very beautiful three-storey wedding cake. A wee bride and groom descended the stairs and pre­ sented them with three exquisite pieces of silver. Mr. and Mrs. Parna­ by both spoke splendidly and feel­ ingly of their -appreciation of the es­ teem and love of the people and es­ pecially did they appreciate the thought because they were so far from all their kith and kin. Mr. J. Frank McGregor in his us­ ual capable style spoke on behalf of the 'church, of the happy relation­ ship between people and pastor, en­ tering upon a -5th year together and expressed the hope that many more years might he thus enjoyed and that social and spiritual growth might be even greater. Mr. and Mrs Lancaster made a few congratula­ tory remarks, Miss Florence O’Neil of 'Toronto sang, Mrs. Florence Mc­ Gregor Cady, of Toledo delighted the assembly with piano solos as did Miss Atkinson. Delicious re- Jreshpents were served and alto­ gether a very delightful evening was spent, * ger.” He explained that the drug | vendors went after the childreti the adults being two hard to trap. The International Narcotic Ass. is work­ ing in twenty countries urging their government to increased vigilance against this profitable unlawful traf­ fic. Dr. Vining also said that he had found not one town in Ontario that did not have its traffic. Japan has promised a reduction of ten per cent, for the next four years in Its manufacture of cocaine. Switzerland reports that during the last three years she decreased by seventy-five per icent. her manufacture of mor­ phine and heroine. China, in spite of her disturbed conditions is fighting tile opium evil vigorously. The drug habit is almost impossible to cure. A people enlightened upon the dangers of a narcotic drug is the best pre- ventitive. Mrs. J. C. Gardiner re­ cently returned from Regina, Sask., where she had been visiting her son Ex-prejnier James Gardiner was present. She gave an interesting, earnest and impressive address up­ on conditions in Canada today. She told us that if we did not work hard­ er the cause of Temperance was lost She deplored the indifference of so-, called Christian people in their at­ titude to the drinking of alcoholic beverages and the smoking of cig­ arettes. She concluded her address by an appeal to her audience to help in a long pull and pull together to save Canada. After singing Jesus is Tenderly Calling” Mrs. Christie clos­ ed the meeting with prayer. The engagement is announced oi Charlotte Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Rev. and Mrs. E. Turkheim, of Zurich to Mr. Edwin Gascho, Zurich, the marriage to take place the lat­ ter part of August.

Said this practical man, “The grain of this season has not as much, hull as had the grain of last season. It grinds up far better and it is sure to make better feed than was made by the grain of last year.” Said a very practical farmer, who has made good in his line. “The farmers who really farm, the farmers who keep the farms clean and the farmers who know how to feed and get down to business are making something better than an even break-,” and he proceeded to name half a dozen farm­ ers. in .the district who are succeeding. This is all good news. This same farmer commented, “I can tell you of a dozen or so of the farmers • in this district who would be kicked off their prem­ ises if the times were better. But they’re no good at farming.” That is the comment of one farmer. Perhaps he didn’t know. ******** THE STUDY OF CANCER The study of cancer, as was pointed out at the meeting of the British Empire Cancer Campaign on Monday, is making real progress, Knowledge of the origins of the disease has increased and knowledge about treatment has not stood still. Within the last few years, for example, those substances in tars and paraffins which give rise to cancer have been subjected to very careful in­ vestigation and a large body of information about them is now available. An account is given in the report from the cancer Hospital of the isolation from tar of an unknown chemical sub­ stance poseessed of very remarkable powers of causing cancer. When the formula of this substance was established an attempt was made to produce it synthetically, and the attempt succeeded. The synthetic substance was also endowed with the power of caus­ ing cancer. It has been shown by this means that coal tar pitch 'contains a very active cancer-produicing hydrocarbon named “1:2 benzpyrene.” It has been shown further that molecular structure and the power of .producing cancer are closely associated. The question naturally arises whether or not this work can be related to the chemistry of the animal body. Study is now poceeding along these lines.”—The London Times. ******** LOST IN THE CROWD For thirty odd years we have heard a great deal of talk about co-operation The funny thing about the whole thing has been the disturbing fact that the more the talk of co-operation has abounded the deeper most of us have been getting into the financial hole. In this connection we recall the experience we had when our school master was teachng us the awful mystries of multiplication. Here is about the way his lesson ran: Twice 2 is 4. Twice 3 is 6. Twitce 4 is 8 and so on till he came to this wonderful fact., Twice 0 isO This latter fact has been running through our mind lately. Twice 0 is 0. 1'00 times 0 is 0. We wonder'if the co-operators or a certain class ever thought about this. 100 no goods are just 100 no goods no matter what way you mix them up, 100 ineffectives are just 100 ineffectives and you cannot make it otherwise. Even the amazing President Roosevelt cannot alter these facts. Twice 0 is 0 He’ll find out, too, that put what tools he may into -the hands of the ineffactives that they’ll remain ineffectives. Further, if he puts dollars into the hands of the ineffectives, the effectives will get those dollars, the ineffectives complacently smilng as they give up what theta’ president has put into their possession. What is needed is a desparate effort on the part of the aver­ age individual to get a row for himself, however small that row may seem to be, and then to hoe that row for all 'he is worth. The tendency of late years has been for the individual to lose himself in the mass, the strong man encouraging him to do so in order that the strong man may own him body and soul. Do we believe in co-operation? We certainly do but the •o-operation we approve of is the co-operation among effectives morally, intellectually and socially. We have learned that lesson - of the old school master that twice 0 is 0 and nothing more. It is a waste'of time and effort to try to- put steam into a man who does’nt try to help himself. This is> a fact that is being ignored, Ah, beg pardon! Under the present system the Oi’s have votes and every “great” president or some such man never overlooks that important fact! But what is the deetiny ,of a- country or of a business governed by its 0's? Two bandits who held up the pay­ master in a Michigan factory drove off in a car which had ofie of those N R A “Wb do our part” signs stuck in the Window. It seems that all the folk across the line, each in his own way desires to co-operate with the preisdont. One thousand, twelve hundred and seventy-five persons are entitled to vote in the Township of McKill- lop this year. The 1933 Voter’sL 1st has just been issued by Clerk John McNay and contains that many names, divided as follows: Part 1 1,075? Part IL 112; Part III, 86. $40,000. In Prises and Attractions CANADA MARCHES ON Canada, like all other Nations, has had her set-backs. But these, instead of being discouragements, hare been challenges to the Canadian people that they quickly accepted. We have proved to our own satisfaction as well ju.b to the rest of the world—that Canada is going forward. Prize Lift and Information Mailed on Request. ENTRIES CLOSE AUGUST 31st 27 J. H.
