But in this case the pelt was not on­ ly examined by our own experienced men, but we sent them to furriers and tanners, who all reported, them as dogs/* Mr. Taylor said. Despite the ruling of the department that the ani­ mals attaching sheep in Kinloss are dogs, not wolves, Kinloss Council's policy has been to pay these sheep claims which have totalled about $500 this year and as well the municipal­ ity pays a bounty of $5 on each ani­ mal shot. for the following appeared last week in the Fort Elgin Times: 4<Neil Me- Killop, prominent local cattleman, while searching for a lost steer on his grass farm the first of the week was astonished to find the animal standing behind one of the enormous puff-balls which grow on his estate. —Chesley Enterprise, Horses Killed When horses belonging to R, G, Martin, of Huron Township, broke through the fence running along the C.N.R, tracks across his farm one colt was killed, a horse had a leg cut off and had to be destroyed and a third received injuries which will make it practically of no value. The loss is heavy as they were valuable show horses. # Large Citron John Bateman, Brussels, has a cit­ ron which to date beats anything we have seen or heard about.

A Series of Letters from Distinguished Canadians on Vital Problems Affecting the Future Welfare of Canada Specially Written for Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association LETTER NUMBER 25 Dear Mr. Editor: I am a country born Australian, and my early life was spent on news­ papers published in rural districts. On one of these my boss, a clever genial fellow, had an excellent op­ portunity, but he was devoid of ideal­ ism. Instead of using his paper to promote public good, he was I fear, more moved by desire for personal gain. Naturally his own poor stand­ ards were reflected in his; paper; gambling and horseracing and similar interests were given an inordinate prominence to the exclusion of inter­ ests more general, and of high value to the community. I have always deplored the failure GEO. L. CARPENTER of my old employer’s enterprize, and the disastrous ending of his promis­ ing career. Rural life, so different from urban life in its quiet and naturalness, of­ fers a fine field for a purposeful press. Living near to nature, men have full­ er opportunity for reflective thought and are often better circumstanced for arriving at sound conclusions. Significant it is to recall how large a proportion of outstanding men in the life of the Dominion who received their early inspiration in rural areas. I should like to see the rural press definitely catering for youth in mat­ ters of public interest. Encourage them to an active interest in, and expressing their views in respect questions of public interest. ’ The very nature of the enquiry to how to make a better Canada, re­ Veals your own appreciation of the high purpose of the press. You are &live, I feel, to the value of a steady presentation in your columns of the beauty of unselfish service, of the true nobility of the life that seeks to give rather than to get. This Can­ ada of ours is amongst the most fav­ oured of lands, but our own people are constantly in danger of forgetting that “life consists not in the abund­ ance of things a man possesses” but rather to the good of his country and the well-being of the people. Nail high idealism to the mast, a period when opportunism is widely prevalent in the world, weekly press can do an immense ; vice fo Canada by standing resolute­ ly by the ideals that have made our race so powerful in world affairs— ideals of tolerance, of- unity, of each for all and all for each! Whilst I know idealism does not make for big bank balances, yet steadily pursued in our press it nevgr fails to provide high dividends in the spirit of the people, A yorthy press never fol­ lows tendencies in human and na­ tional affairs, but definitely seeks to direct them. Stand absolutely for high moral standards in the community, refusing to give space in your columns to un­ savoury details of local and other happenings. Stand resolutely for good-will be­ tween classes and “scotch" the dispo­ sition to magnify minor differences, so often fostered for narrow party purposes. Stress things upon which there is agreement amongst the peo­ ple, and so make for confidence, un­ ity and strength. Give a space to religion in each issue and publish brief extracts from the words of Christ upon various in­ terests. Christ’s appeal and teachings are never out of date. He has a pro­ gram for life which no nation has as yet put into operation. Man is es­ sentially religious, though the aver­ age individual is often silent gard to this sacred element life. Whilst putting a taboo “jingoism," I hope the press will more and more foster an abiding loy­ alty to our throne and country. Sincerely yours, GEO. L. CARPENTER. Commissioner for the'Salvation Army in Canada. . In so the ser- in re- of his upon 'iliitnMUiibiiiMiimimimtiiiitiHiiitiihailiiiHiMUitittfrttir** 7. in of NEWS of the DISTRICT as ? E Says Bruce Wolves Are Dogs There was absolutely no doubt that the animals killed by the Kinloss Township hunters were wild dogs and not wolves, D. J. Taylor, deputy minister of game and fisheries, said “If there had been any question, we would have paid the bounty. We do not draw the line very fine, and Stockings Stolen at Orangeville Thieves forced an entrance to the store of J, Kearns & Son, Orange­ ville, and made off with several hun­ dred pairs of silk stockings. The rob­ bery was discovered when G. Leigh­ ton and W. Hitcher, of Orangeville, noticed a car parked at the rear of the store. They noticed two men “ap­ parently foreigners” emerge front the cellar carrying boxes and then not­ ified Chief Constable A. McNeill, who investigated. Plan Change in Choosing Warden in Bruce When it convenes in November Bruce County Council will consider a change in the system of choosing its warden. Since 1875 that official has been selected by open vote with Council members declaring their sup­ port of their choice, The by-law to be presented at the next meeting will call for election by secret ballot,— Port Elgin Titnes.- Want Blue Water Highway Paved Representatives of municipalities from Owen Sound to Sarnia, meet­ ing at Kincardine, pledged renewed and continued support to the Blue Water Highway Association, and went on record as’favoring the tak­ ing over of the road from Sarnia to Ravenswood by way of Crinians, as the southern end of provincial high­ way No. 21, the Blue Water route. They also asked that the paving of the route be completed as soon as possible by the province.

Bullet Ticked Truck Driver’s Nose Ber Hammill, Elora, well-known taxi and truck man, had a close es­ cape from death or serious injury. He was driving his truck west along Church street, when he heard a gun discharge, and at the same instant a bullet entered the cab through the open window of the driver’s side and crashed into the glass of the window in the ’door opposite. In it course the bullet struck the point of his nose inflicting a nasty flesh wound which bled profusely. The shock caused him momentarily to lose control of the truck, which ran into the ditch. Miss Dora Switzer, Mr. Hammill’s housekeeper, was sitting beside him in the cab at the time but escaped injury. Maitland Creamery Buyers Of ID THE UNITED FARMERS’ CO-OPERATIVE COMPANY, LIMITED.

Five Killed When Train Hit Auto Death claimed the' lives of four adults and a 5-year-old child Thurs­ day when a car driven by Dr. George W. Racey, prominent physician of Parkhill, swerved on No. 7 Highway a mile north of Denfield and ran head-on into a fast-moving C.N.R. Diesel-powered passenger car. The dead are: Dr. George W. Racey, 56, of Parkhill, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wills of Thedford, their 5-year-old adopted daughter Norma, and Miss Evelyn Mason, 18, only daughter of Mrs. Er­ nest Mason of Parkhill. Dr. Racey with the four passengers was travell­ ing east on No. 7 Highway. The C. N.R. passenger car was travelling north toward Wingham, It is believ­ ed that Dr. Racey did not see the, railway car until after he was well up. Skid marks indicated ' that he swerved his car to the tight onto the gravel portion of the road and in at­ tempting to bring it to a stop swerv­ ed back to the left, only to plow head-on through a guard fence and into the railway car. , Painfully Injured Oliver Death, of Ho wick, who has been working this summer for Mr. Ronrad Rever, had his .eye painfully injured while sharpening the point of his plow.

LloydK and Gor­ don W. Buchanan, son of the late Frank Buchanan, sales-manager, con­ stitute the directors. R. H. Lloyd, who 4s a graduate in engineering of Toronto University, is superintend­ ent of the plant, and his brother, C. W. Lloyd, is assistant .superintend­ ent. The growth of this historic busi­ ness has been a steady one. Fifty years ago the 'factory was a building 30 x 80 feet. To-day the factory with its spacious' buildings is equipped with the most modern of machinery and up-to-date dry kilns. When the industry, 50 years ago, only a dozen C. Lloyd & Son, Ltd., Have Made -men were employed, while today a Doors in Wingham Since 1888 The firm of C. Lloyd & .Son, Ltd., a manufacturing firm of which all in Wingham are proud, have for fifty years been exclusive makers of doors'. It was on October 1st, 1888 that the first doors were turned out, doors in those days being made by hand. Those who joined in this 'enterprise of establishing the first exclusive door plant in Ontario, were: Charles Lloyd; his son, A. E. LloydWilliam Lloyd (now residing in San Jose, CalifoYnia) and two or three others. It was the initial venture in the wholesale door line in Ontario, arid probably in »Canada. Charles Lloyd was a capable furniture worker in the days before the modern ftfrnitUre fac­ tory was part of the industrial life of the Dominion. His son, A. E. Lloyd, engaged in Carpenterinig and contracting in this locality. He* went to California and Texas where he carried out consid­ erable contract work. On his return to Wingham he conceived the idea, along with his father, of starting ail exclusive plant for making doors. Every planing mill, in thise days, made an attempt at manufacturing doors but now they depend on C. Lloyd & Son for their doors although' they continued to manufacture sash, frames, trim and other lines. It was in. February, 1899, that Chhrles Lloyd died, and his son, A. E, Lloyd, carried on for a year. Subsequently Dr. Agnew became a partner and this arrangement was continued until 1902 when Frank Bu­ chanan bought out Dr. Agncw‘s int­ erest and was in partnership with Mr. Llbyd Until April, 1918, whefi Mr. Buchanan passed away. On his return from overseas, R. H. Lloyd, son of A. E. Lloyd, became a partner with his father, which ar­ rangement continued until 1922, when the company became incorporated as C. Lloyd & Sdfi, Ltd. The officers now are: president and Manager, A» £ Lloyd; Vice-President, R. H, staff of 65 to 75 receive steady em­ ployment. * In 1.933 a large warehouse was op­ ened in Toronto. Here a large and representative stock of doors is car- ried. This warehouse and the factory here carry the biggest and most var­ ied stock of doors' of any concern in Canada. Regarding the trend of prices, it may be said that although the lumber from which the doors are made is practically on the level of that of pre­ war days, yet the price of doors 'has ''been reduced by at least 50%. This has been brought about by specializ­ ation, better buying facilities, time and labor saving methods, and in­ creased output. In the door manufacturing line, Lloyds is an institution and on this Golden Jubilee occasion we extend our wholehearted congratulations. We also hope that the firm may con­ tinue to prosper and expand thus continuing to help make Wingham a bigger and better place in which to live. Advance-Times Want Ads. Bring Results.
