On Tuesday morning of this week
Miss Lena Emily Frayne passed
away at her home on Albert Street
in her 63rd year following a stroke
suffered on Friday evening of
week. Miss Frayne was born ip

many years was a harness-maker in
Exeter. Mr. Frayne’s shop was in
the 'building now occupied by the
Exeter Public Utilities Commission

Mr. and Mrs, Frayne lived in apart
ments at the rear of the shop where
the deceased was born. All of her
life she has been an invalid and has
received the constant and loving
care of her mother. She was always
bright and cheerful, was well read
and of later years had devoted
much -of her time to knitting and
sewing, One of her neighbors made
the pleasing remark that "we could
n’t say anything too nice about the
deceased,” She will be greatly miss
ed 'by her mother, now in hex’ 86th
year, as they were comfortably lo
cated in theix- cosy home which will
seem so desolate now that one has
departed. Mr. Frayne during his
lifetime was a pillar in the then
James Street Methodist church-
for many years was one of
school trustees, Miss Frayne,
sides her mother is survived by
brother, Russel, of Brantford; three
sisters, Mrs. S. Jory and Mrs. A. J.
Penhale, of Stephen Township and
Mrs. Lily Smith, of London. The
funeral, private will be held Thurs
day afternoon at 2.30 conducted by
her pastoi’ Rev. A. B. Irwin with in
terment in the Exetei’ Cemetery.

FATAL ACCIDENT
ON ELGINFIELD HILL
at 8
St.T. B, Bennett, aged 73, of
Marys, was instantly killed Monday
afternoon when the car he was driv
ing collided head-on with a Super
test gasoline truck driven by James
Taylor, of Exeter, while on his way
to London. Mr. Taylor was ascend
ing the hill south of Elginfield on
Ho. 4 Highway when the Bennett
car came over the brow of the hill
going north and struck the Super
test truck. A storm was raging at
the time and visibility was not good.
The two vehicles were locked to
gether. Mr. Bennett, was slumped
over the steering wheel which was
driven back by the impact. Mr.
Taylor was well over on his side of
the road and the coroner said the
motorist had apparently swung over
from his side of the road or had
skidded after throwing on his
brakes.

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS:
All of qs have felt the Pinch uf
wartime conditions. Newspapers
are no exceptions. Not only liavo
costs risen bug curtailment of news
print 'makes financing these times
a difficult problem. Daily news
papers -have raised their rates and
changed their methods of distribu-
ting their papers. Some weeklies
have raised their subscriptions, We
have no intention of doing so, but
as we have previously announced,
we have placed our paper on a paid-
in-advaitce basis. Rather than im
mediately cut off those subscribers
who have been in arrears we have
given them a chance to get squared
away. Now, however, we find it
necessary to remove from our lists
a number of names of those who
up-to-date have paid no attention to
the notices that have been sent to
them. This will be the last issue
they will receive unless we hear
from them before February 10. This
action is being taken at the request
of the Wartime Prices and Trade
Board, owing to the shortage of
newsprint who suggest that our
supplies must he conserved for bona
fide subscribers in good standing.
It is a Sound business principle and.
we believe it will be appreciated 'by
our subscribers. It is our wish to
be as courteous as possible in the
matter, but we believe you will read
ily see our position.
If you have not already subscrib
ed for 19 43 may we suggest that
you do so without delay. To those
I still in arrears we hope you will co
operate with us and see that your
payment is made promptly. Thank
you.

ELECTED PRESIDENT
OF INSURANCE COMPANY
The annual meeting of the Us-
borne .& Hibbert Mutual Fire In
surance Co. was held in the public
hall, Farquhar, on Monday, Feb
ruary 1, at 2 p.m. The weather was
rough and the roads bad, so that
the number of members present
was only forty.
The president, John McGrath, oc
cupied the chair and carried through
the business of the meeting in his
usual happy manner. He was glad
to be president at the sixty-seventh
annual meeting, and to be able to
present such a good record for the
company for the year 1942. He said
our amount of insurance had in
creased by a third of a million dol
lars and there was an increase of
46 policies. He gave the directors
and the secretary-treasurer praise
for their careful work during the
past year and said they were always
alert to do what was in the inter
ests of the Company. He emphasiz
ed the need of precaution to prevent
fires, which are only a wasteland '
building material is so hard to "pro
cure. He urged the members to be
careful with matches, smoking, and
threshing, and to look after their
stove and furnace pipes.
He praised the war effort that
has been made by the people of Can-
