Alfred Moore, of Lion's Head, aged 24, father of two children, was the victim of the acci­ dent, With him was his father Geo. Moore, Glen Davidson, Frank and Amos Wildfong. They had motor­ ed in the morning from Lion’s Head to Pine Tree Bay on the east shore of Lake Huron a distance of about twenty miles. Leaving their car at Pine Tree Bay they started north through the bush and had tramped a distance of six or eight miles when they came upon tracks of a deer as there was about two inches of snow on the ground. Amos Wildfong had remained a short distance behind and the other four had gone on ahead. They were travelling thro’ some heavy Underbrush when Moore started off to the left and evidently circled around the underbrush on the heels of a deer as one of the hunters spotted the deer and fired. Young Moore came into the line of fire and died almost instant­ ly. The accident happened just at noon. Cutting down a couple of poles and by using two smocks a stretcher was made to carry the victim of the accident to the shore of the lake near , Watts Bay, as the location of the ■ spot where he died would be difficult to find had he been left behind while . going foi' the coroner. Tramping the • several miles back through the , woods to Pine Tree Bay they then , motored to the nearest telephone and , called Coroner Dr. D. E. Scott and ■ Provincial 'Constable J. E. Johnston ■ from Lion’s Head. At Stoke’s Bay ■ several miles south of Pine Tree Bay . they secured a 35-foot motor boat , and although the lake was rough , made the trip back to Watts Bay and i recovered the body. It was in the early hours of the morning before : the party reached home. An inquest , was considered not necessary. PAST MASTERS MEET Op Thursday evening of last week Lebanon Forest Lodge, A.F & A.M. were hosts to the Past Master’s As­ sociation. Past masters were pres­ ent from most of the lodges in the district and the Exeter lpdge room was filled to capacity. The lodge was presided over by Rt. Wor Bro. Tichbourne, of Goderich, cers of Doric Lodge, Parkhill, emplified the work of the first gree and received much praise the manner in which it was put The offi- ex- de- for on. Rt. Wor. Bro. Jefferson, of Clinton, conducted a question hour that was both interesting and instructive. The high light of the evening was an address by Most Wor. Bro. F. A. Copus, P.G.M., of Stratford, who described in a very vivid manner his recent visit to the Grand Lodge of England, as a delegate from the Grand Lodge of Canada in Ontario at which the Duke of Kent was ex­ alted to the high office of Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Eng­ land the investment being made by his brother, King George VL D.D.

A light lunch was served at the close. where Exeter FIRE DESTROYS FINE BARN Together With the Season’s Crop JAMES ST, ANNIVERSARY Large Congregations at Both Services Over Jordan” A beautiful ferns adorned Dr. W. Stuart Stanbury, a former Exeter boy, has received the high appointment to the senior chair of pathology at Leeds University, Eng­ land. The following clipping is taken from the St. Catharines Standard. His Honor Judge J. G. S. Stan­ bury was in Hamilton on Tuesday evening attending a farewell din­ ner tendered his son Dr. W. Stuart Stanbury, by the executive of the board of directors of the Hamilton Health Association, prior to his sail­ ing for England. The dinner was held at the Ham­ ilton Club and was attended by men prominent in the medical life of both Toronto and Hamilton. For the past eight years Dr. Stan­ bury has been pathologist at the Mountain Sanatorium and superin­ tendent of the research laboratory there. From a very small beginning this branch of the institution has developed under Dr. Stanbury’s in­ itiative until it is now of interna­ tional reputation. Two years ago the doctor obtained leave of absence in order that he might prosecute his studies in post­ graduate work at that renowned centre of pathological research, Leeds University, England. While there he was invited to give a series of lectures and demonstrations to the students with the result that when the senior chair of pathology recently became vacant the senate and governors of the university in­ vited him to take the position. All medical and related scientific research work is being nationalized ill England for the war so that Dr. Stanbury expects to plunge at once into special service necessitated by military conventions. Dr. igtanbitry is well-equipped for the high position to which he is now called, being an honour graduate in medicine of Toronto University, with post-graduate standing at 'Saranac Lake, N. Y., as Well as Leeds, Eng­ land. Since going to the Mountain Sanatorium, he has brought distinc­ tion to that institution by being awarded for two consecutive years the research scholarship of the Cana­ dian Medical Association. The fine L shaped barn of Mr. Roland Squires, lot 23, concession 2, Usborne, was totally destroyed by fire early Tuesday morning toge­ ther with some live stock and the season's crop of grain. (Shortly af­ ter midnight Mr. Squire was wak­ ened from his sleep by the reflection of the flames in his bedroom win­ dow. Looking out of the window he saw his barn a mass of flames. Hurrying to the stable he succeed­ ed at great danger in rescuing a team of horses. In trying to rescue a third horse he was driven from the building by the smoke and flames. In addition to the horse, two calves and all his hens perished in the fire. A pig was badly burn­ ed. The cattle were out at pasture. Mr. Squire had threshed his season's crop about two weeks before and all the grain was in the building toge­ ther with the hay and straw. There were also about two thousand bush­ els of turnips. These together with most of his implements were des­ troyed. Neighbors soon gathered at the scene but nothing could be done to save anything. .Fortunately the wind was blowing away from the house. The origin of the fire is a mystery. Mr. Squire had left the building about eight o’clock in the evening and shortly after retired Building and contents are insured with the Usborne & Hibbert Mutual Fire Insurance Co., but the amount Will far from cover the loss. of to com- are any or who amount, RED CROSS CAMPAIGN We are in the second week of the Red Cross Campaign for funds. The canvassers are rapidly completing their work in Exeter and we expect the same work is well advanced in the surrounding district, units connected with the branch are located. What the to­ tal result will be is not yet known, but strenuous effort is still neces­ sary to reach the objective, and it is hoped that the canvassing will all be completed by the end of this week, and returns made to the treasurer, Mr. J. R. C. Moffatt, at the Canadian Bank of Commerce. The men’s committee in charge of the canvass, under the chairmanship of Mr. Thomas Pryde will meet in the Bank of Commerce on Thursday evening at 8 o’clock, to go over the lists and if necessary endeavor to speed up the work. Canvassers are asked to make their returns, even if not completed to the treausrer by Thursday afternoon and report any assistance is necessary plete the canvass. If there who have not contributed feel they could increase the the committee would appreciate it if they would see any member of the committee and give or increase their giving at an early date. Your contribution, even though it is small, will be appreciated. It is evi­ dent that in some cases a real sac­ rifice has been made, and the offic­ ers and committee are thankful co canvassers and contributors for their effort. In the meantime many of the wo­ men are busy making the various garments that are necessary for the comfort of the soldiers. Samples of these garments and other articles may be seen in the window of Mr. R. G. Seldon’s office, Main street. It has not yet been decided whether the list of contributors will be published. However every amount has been acknowledged by a receipt and all should have a win­ dow sticker for their home. Some of the canvassers ran out of stickers but a fresh supply has been receiv­ ed and anyone not receiving one may secure sers. same from any of the canvas- Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Ferguson and Miss Ila Westcott, of ^Toronto, are visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Richard Coates Mr. Coates Who has been confined to his home for some time, has not been aS well during the past week, but Is somewhat improved at present. 96th BIRTHDAY Dr. J.

Deer on Lake Road Sheldon Wein while motoring to Exeter Wednesday morning from Dashwood saw three deer at an in­ tersection in the road three and three-quarters miles west of town. Two of the deer crossed the road In front of the truck he was driving while the other turned back. Teachers’ Convention A convention of the school teach­ ers from Stephen and Usborne met at the Exeter School Friday of last week with Inspector BeaCom in charge. The convention took the form of a round table conference each teacher speaking for about five minutes on some special phase of work engaged in such as art, social studies, etc. A profitable time was spent in the exchange of ideas. At four p.m. afternoon tea was served tn the new school building. Monthly meetings are being held by teachers in both Stephen and borne townships and officers these ’organizations Were elected. the Vs- for Large congregatons were present both morning and evening for the anniversary services in James >St. United church ou Sunday. Prof. A. S. Orton, of Emmanuel College, Toronto, was the special speaker for the day and many favorable com­ ments were passed on the sermons. The choir furnished splendid music. In the morning they sang two an­ thems “I found Him fh my heart” by Wilson; “Seek ye the Lord?” by Roberts with obligato by Walter •Cutbush. A double trio “Jesu still lead us on” was sung by Misses Jean Sheere, Lulu Lindenfield, Beta Rowe, Mrs. W- R. Moulding, Mrs. Ellsmere and Mrs, E. Lindenfield. At the evening service two anthems were sung, “0 worship the King” by Williams with solo and duet by Miss Reta Rowe and Mrs. T. Coates; “Father Almighty” by Ceasar Frank with obligato and solo by Miss He­ len Penhale; a male quartette, “Where Will You Spend Eternity?” Big Low, by Walter Cutbush, A. E. Wuerth, W. R. Goulding and E. Lin­ denfield; solo “Bells by Miss Pearl Wood, bouquet of mums and the pulpit rostrum. At the morning service Mr. Orton took for his text: “A Glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary” Jer. 17:12. The Church is the seat of a throne. Many thrones have toppled during the past few years. We are living in an age with a passion for liberty. We want to be free to live our own lives and express our own opinions. We have the revolt of youth against its elders; revolt against our econo­ mic system against the church, against our Faith. We are passing through a period of revolt against authority. Now a counter-movement has set in and the world is reaching for a throne. We are at a loss to know what is worth thinking. We are seeking something that will pro­ perly control our lives; something that will lift us out of chaos and scepticism. That is why young Ger­ mans are followers of Herr Hitler. We cannot give to God a throne. We do not make him God. He is God. His throne is there. His everlasting will stands fast and firm. His throne is a glorious throne; a throne of grace. He came not to the righteous but to sinners and lost people. To people who have made a failure of life he brings hope and courage. A dictator may demand a man’s time but he cannot command his thoughts.He who sits upon God’s throne demands our innermost thoughts and desires. ■Some say religion has nothing to do 'with the question of war, with commerce or industry. But God has everything to do with all forces that influence men’s lives. He makes known his will to us through prayer and Christian fellowship. Liberty and authority is found in the Chris­ tian way. We are fearful of the future in a world at war with its threat of cruelty and suffering. But there is the assurance that every evil that effects the world, that plagues mankind, must go because the throne abides. In the evening Mr. brton took for his text 11 Kings 8:13 “But what, is thy servant a dog that he should do this great thing?” In. asking that question the speaker as­ serts that he is not a dog but a man. This age has developed a brutality and frightfulness. In some nations educated men who have been used to thinking selves have two nations is always cruelty drive the oppressed to look on us as dogs. The red to an experience west when entering catch a train in the the morning, a dozen sleeping on the bare floor and were aroused from their slumbers and hustled out into 'the cold night on the lonesome prairie before the train arrived.

Madness and speaker refer- he had in the a station to early hours or men were had a grievance against so- We have glorious visions of life should be but we fail to out those visions, We are not the men we would like ourselves to be. Do we live the sermon on the mount, forgive our enemies, bless them that curse us? There is that is willing to come into lives and make us the men we site to be.
