COUPLE 50 YEARS MARRIED . . Mr, and Mrs, Robert Shaw Celebrate Their Golden Wedding Monday Rev. Kenneth MacLean Gave Paper On The Sacrament Of The Lord's Supper MUCH TRAVEL 'OVER THE HOLIDAY Trains And Buses Did Big Business During the week-end travel took on an old time atmosphere with trains and buses doing a large volume of business. Some of the traffic on the railway and bus lines may have,been caused by the gasoline rationing, but even taking that into consideration there ai ppeared to be a larger number than usual making visits over the 'holi- day. It may be that good weather had something to do with it. Another reason no doubt is that many are away from home that were not a year ago, in the 'army, or on war work. No trouble was experienced by those travelling by auto on the maain roads but some places were breaking up but were in wonderful condition compared with last year when the roads were the worst that they had been in years.

William Quinn is- chairman of the Horseshoeing Committee at the Inter- national Plowing Match-to be held it't Huron county on October 13, 14, 15 and 16, Some people might say, "Heck that must be an easy job. Just .get a few horses together and let the black- smiths go to' work on them." It is however, a real job requiring a lot of erection, tact and skill, The rea- Son for this is the fact that the Ontario Plowman's Association has laid a good deal of emphasis on horseshoeing competitions each year, believing them to be an art that . should be kept alive. The 'automobile and the truck made inroads each year on 'old Dobbin. Blacksmith shops switched from shoe- ing horses to filling tanks with gas- oline, However in many centres hardy blacksmiths still kept on at their trade and it was to give a competition for these men as well to encourage young men in the trade that the horse- shoeing match was started at the In- ternational, Now, when you visit the Interna- tional you'll find a crowd of people standing around the spot where the horses are being shod, There are young people who see the operation for the first time. There are older people who recall fondly the days when -the blackstnith shop was -a fav- orite spot irt which to spend a few hours, Bill Quinn farmed for many years in Usborne township on one of the finest tracts of land in the township, Lately he has been working in the building business but he still retains his farm. He always liked horses and kept a fine team for general farm work. One of the . things he was al:, ways particular -about was thaat they were shod properly. By reason of the emphasis placed on the horseshoeing he will have to make .certaain of a prominent spot for the location of this feature. The pro- per number of horses will have to be on the spot. Equipment for the black- smiths will have to be set tip. And of course right now he is' is contacting the Most skilful blacksmiths in the province and inviting them to attend the Intonational. in Huron county this Played Golf On Friday Three local golfers had their first game of the season on Good Friday.

Work was being carried on in the attic and when the wall- paper was removed it was found that back of it newspapers had been pasted to the wall. The papers were the Weekly Em- pire and Calgary Tribune Nov. 14, 1892, The Weekly Emipre of Toronto, April 20, 1803 and a Myth Standard about December 15th issue of 1892, The Blyt'h paper 'advertised a rheumatism cure for 75c a bottle that would cure the ailment fit a day, also inserted in this issue was the notice of a nomination for the village. Dentistry was cheap in thOse days according to an advertisment in the Calgary Tribune by a Dr, E. C. Hol- brooks, who said lie extracted teeth for 25 cents each. In the Empire was an item. headed German Military Bill which reads in part as follows, "The military bill has 'not yet passed it has stuck fast on the opposition of four states, as they do not wish to commit themselves to it before knowing whence the Imperial Government expected to get the $1,- 000,000 annually necessary to realize its provisions."
