Beryl pfaff I Appreciationslfrom the West Radville, Sask., l(b-ll-’34 Community of Exeter, Exeter, Ontario, Dear People,— I wopld esteem it a favour if you would kindly convey to your people the very sincere thanks of the people in the Troccachs district for the splendid car of vegetables, fruit, etc, which we received. I need not as­ sure you that it was greatly appre­ ciated, and it 'must have involved a .great deal of work in gathering and filling the car. For the part you played in this we tender our very sincere thanks,1 and it would meet with our wishes if you could express our gratitude .to all those who co­ operated with you; All benefited in the distribution without distinc­ tion. I would like to Venure one remark that we hear, and it is, many of our people wonder why they stay in such a drought stricken area as this when they see what you can produce and give away. They envy you down there, and the good .things their receive awakens poiqflant measurers of panic. Everything Jooks better a*d the .taste is differ­ ent. On this latter question, I of­ fer no opinion as my own home lies across the ocean. With Reverent -personal regards, Yours, Very Sincerely W, Inglis, I SALADA ______ 709 Fresh from ths Gardens Unvarying Quality TRIED ATHOURITY A third authority to sell beer and wine has been issued for Goderich, it was learned recently when J.

A LSO IN SMALLER REGULAR SIZE INARD Hallowe’en Aftermath A story of Hallowe’en, filled with humor, clashing between opposing counsel and verbal criticism of po­ lice methods, unfolded iteelf before Magistrate J. A. Makins in magis­ trate’s court, iStratford on Wednes­ day of last week. , It took Magistrate Makins from the time court .opened shortly after ten o’clock until the middle of the afternoon to clean up with thirty- four cases in all, involving twenty- one youths from Hibbert and Us- borne who were charged, the result of Hallowe’en pranks in the neigh­ borhood of Cromarty and around Hibbert Township. The charges were of causing wilful damage to property. The pranks, according to evidence, were of a rather destruc­ tive nature and in. two instances, the boys were told to ,go to work at un­ doing the damaged they had done. On one farm, they must fix a. cultiva­ tor, repair a fence and clean out a well and at another place they must repair an iron fence. The boys were divided into several groups, 'Seven appeared at first, charged with damaging Thomas Aus^- tin’s farm in Hibbert by tramping down two acres of shocked corn and cutting a wire fence. They all plead­ ed not guilty. After the evidence had been taken all were found guilty except one. They will have to pay the sum of $15 for the corn and and $33.|3i0 costs. They were charg­ ed jointly. Austin said he estimat­ ed the value of the scorn at $80. Then came the second complaint. Seven boys were charged with doing damage at John McNichol’s farm. They were charged with damaging a cultivator and cutting 70 rods of fence. McNichol took the stand, and told of the fence which had been cut and of the cultivator which had been smashed. The well .had also been filled with posts and rails. Must Make Repairs Magistrate Makins found four of the boys guilty. They were given two weeks to make the repairs to the damage at McNichol’s farm and the ^complainant was satisfied with this- arrangement. Just before 'court adjourned for the noon recess, eleven other boys faced a charge of damaging the pro­ perty of Orval and Graham McLar­ en in Hibbert Township by pushing over an outbuilding, damaged a fence and stoning the house. They all pleaded not guilty. When court opened in the afternoon the charge was withdrawn and the cases dis­ missed. Six boys were, charged with causing wilful damage to Oswald Walker's property in 'Cromarty by damaging an iron fence around the place and. by breakin,g a window. Af­ ter listening to brief evidence. Mag­ istrate Makins ruled that there was only sufficient evidence to convict four of damaging the fence. These four were granted suspended sen­ tence on condition they fix the fence within the next two weeks and pay the costs of the court, Walker, the complainant, took the stand and told of the events of Hallowe'en night. He said he iden­ tified four of the accused as four Who were in a gang around the house, breaking the posts off the iron rallihg around the place. It would cost two dollars to have each post welded back in place, be told the court, “This ds not just fun, going and doing wilful property damage on Hallowe’en bight,“ commented Mag­ istrate Makins, after listening to the arguments of Crown Attorney Goodwin and defence counsel G. Thompson, Trossachs, Sask., November 8, ’34 Community of 'Exeter Dear Friends,— Would, you please convey to all those who so kindly donated to the car f fruit and vegeabltes shipped to this point, our sincerest thanks. It is haTd to put on paper words that will properly express the appre­ ciation we feel after receiving so generous a donation. The car arrived in splendid con­ dition with only two cracked jars of fruit which speaks much for the care given to its packing. We un­ loaded this big car into the Church at this point where a list was made of everything in the car. A system worked out of distribution according to the size of the family. Over 200 families received goods from this car, living over an area of 18 square miles. The average family received one or two bags of potatoes, 40 pounds of turnips, 12 pounds of beets and and carrots 5‘ pounds; onions one, pumpkin or squash or two citrons, 2 head of cabbage, one jar of,fruit or honey, one jar of pickles or cann­ ed goods, some beans and the flour and cereal, salt and other articles to the larger or poorer families also a. small bag. of apples to each. The larger families received a larger proportion and the smaller families and bachelors less . Everyone was pleased with the quantity received for although this may seem a small amount to you folks, we can assure you that these were the first vegetables, in most homes for a long, long time. You people of Exeter have done a wonderful amount of good- in ship­ ping this car West and we, the local relief committee can do no more than express our sincerest thanks to all donors. The local committee were all Canadian born and mostly all from the old province of 'Ontario and we can assure you that we all received a great deal of satisfaction in finish­ ing the work you -started So well at Exeter. Many] people drove miles juist to see the vegetable display in­ side the church. You can assure all donors that these goods were distributed irres­ pective of race or religion and all shared alike. The splendid fall is helping great­ ly here. The people will get thro’ the winter fine outside of the great need of clothing. The government clohing relief is not sufficient for large families ats no provision is made for bedding and household needs. The health of the people on the whole is good, which means]'a lot and our best farmers are still with us. And we still have hope that rain will come again and relief ,be a thing of the past in .Saskatchewan, Again Thanking You Sincerely J. A. Boney, Voluntary Relief Committee R.M. 68 Trossachs, Sask.'
