IDEA FOR SUGAR BUSH
Ambrose Chambers, who operates
a. large sugar bush near the village
of Waterford, .Ontario, has hit upon
an excellerft time-saving device in
the matter of emptying sap buckets.
He paints one half of the outer sur
face of the pail red and 'the other
half yellow. When he has emptied
each pail, he turns it around, so that
from a distance he can easily tell
which pails have been emptied; thus
saving a great many ‘steps. It is
necessary, of course, to have a hole
in each side of the upper edge
the bucket so that it can be hun
oh the tree with either the red
the yellow color showing.
In failing health since last sum
mer and seriously ill for the past
two months with a heart condition
and a progressive stomach trouble,
Mr." Donald S. MacDonald passed
away last Wednesday at Thornbury
at the home of. his daughter, Mrs,
^(Dr.) J. F. McKee. r
The funeral servjce . on Friday,
was held in South Kinloss Church,,
of which he had been am^elder for
-many years, and was conducted by
Rev. J. L. Burgess. Mr. MacDonald
was born to the grave by his six
sons, four of whom . served over
seas. Interment was in the family
‘plot in ’feouth Kinloss cemetery,|
where are interred his wife, who. pre
deceased him almost four years ago,
and a- daughter Kenalda, whose
death in 1930 was the first break in
this family circle of twelve sons and
daughters. .
Mr. MacDonald, who~was 78 years,
af age, was a son of Alexander Mc
Donald and Mary Stewart, pioneer
residents of, Concession 4, Kinloss.
In 1886, Mr. MacDonald married
Mary Jane Mclvor of Huron Town-;
ship and for a few years the yoUng
couple lived at Ripley, ,i where four
of the children Were horn. From
there they moved to the residence
iust north of the C.N.R. depot, which
has-ieen the MacDonald home ever
since? • . ‘
An austere man, but as well pos
sessed of a kindly disposition,
Mr. MacDonald was highly es
teemed by a wide circle of friends.
He had keenly felt the bereavement
of his helpmates who passed away
in the spring of 1932, after upwards
to 46 years of love and. devotion
•.mselfishly bestowed as a wife and
mother of a large family.
Mr. MacDonald is survived jby
five daughters, Mrs. S. A. MacDou
gall, Mrs. .K. W.* Jamieson/ Eliza
beth and Marie of Toronto and Mrs.
T. F. McKee of Thornbury and six
sons, Tom, Kingsville; Alex, Strat-.

In reference to that article he
said, “I am surprised and greatly
interested to note that Lucknow had
a rifle company^ in the ’60’s, and
that . James- Somerville and Robert

neighborhood. Mrs. Clarksqn was a
devoted mother to her large family
of eleven children, eight of whom
survive to mourn her passing.
In 1920. Mr. and Mrs. Clarkson
