Families Traded' Work For 76 Years We believe that probably a record has been established in the Rock Mills area by three families 'that have resid- ed in that district for many years. These are John Hargrave, .Sam Phil- lips and Alex. English, whose families started trading work 76, years ago, when their fathers, John Hargrave, Tucker Phillips and John English, set- tled on their farms east of Kock Mills. The third generation on each farm is carrying on the old, traditions, all done without any disagreement throughout the years. This is certainly a splendid record.—Flesherton Advance. Fell From Barn Roof Robert McCormick, Ripley carpen- ter, escaped with only minor injuries when he tumbled 15 feet from the roof of W. N. Bushell's barn, Which he was shingling. Residents, witnessing the accident rushed to his aid and Dr. D, D. Carpeneto had Mr. McCormick re- moved to Kincardine. General Hospital where X-ray examination revealed that the injuries were of only a minor nature.—Ripley Express. Hallowe'eners Pushed Car Into Pool • Hallowe'en is over in Palmerston for another year, and the spirits have had their peanks, some ,few of them hum- orous and some of then nuisances and dangerous. A short conversation with the police the' following morning gleaned information on some of the antics. A car belonging, to Mr. H. Smith,' which was left parked behind Geo. Lavelle's Coal sheds was pushed to Lawrence Park, and shoved into the wading pool there. Another ear, owner unknown et present, was pushed ' from ,in front of the Recreational Centre on William Street and hidden in the United •Church Driving Shed, This latter job Was done by a group of girls,—Palinerston Observer. •••••••••••.•••••MVI, Wounded Second Time Private Burton McLeod, Perth Regi- ment, son of Mr. and Mrs. Murdock.

Fire At Huron County Jail Huron County's century-old jail was afire for a short time Friday and there may be some who read this dispatch who will ironically ask "why put the fire out?" Leaves blown hither and thither' • by swirling wind had lodged in the eaves of the historic cupola atop the bastille. Other burning leaves from a ground 'bonfire were carried to the cupola and destroyed part of it. More serious and certainly more annoying was the water poured into the jail through the roof. The inn is well. insured.

Huron County. The boys of the Wingham 99th Bat- tery who are, fighting in Holland, in- vested $15,000 in the 7th Victory Loan. The 19th Canadian Field Regiment of which they are part invested $50,000. These 'brave lads are not only fighting for Victory but are Investing in Vic- tory also, All we are asked to ,do is "Invest in Victory". Let us show these chaps who are fighting our bat- tles that we are behind them all the way. The end of the war is approach- ing, just when it will be over one cannot predict. But be assured this is no time for slowing down, we must make Victory sure, * * * BUY AND WEAR A POPPY This year, as in other years, the, Canadian Legion, through its 1760 branches and Auxiliaries in. Canada, is calling to the people of the Domin- ion that they should observe more than ever in solemn remembrance the symbolism which has become an in- tegral part of. Remembrance Day ob- servances, and asks that every man, . woman and child wear a Poppy on Saturday, Nov, 1th, in memory of those who laid down their lives in the Great War and of those men and women who have made the supreme sacrifice in the present conflict. This appeal is not made on behalf of the Legion or of its members, but on behalf of all ex-Service men who are in need. The collection and ad- ministration of the Poppy Fund has been entrusted to the Canadian Leg- ion. This, however, does not mean that the Poppy Fund is part of the funds of the Legion. It is kept en- tirely separate and is not even treated as a part of the relief fund. It is rather considered as a trust fund, which the- Legion administers for the benefit of all ex-service men. In granting relief, members of the Leg- - ion receive no special preference but all ex-service men stand on a equal footing. Any man who has served and who is in need, has a claim on this fund. The poppies and wreaths which you will be asked to buy are made by an organization of disabled ex-service men. These men are abso- lutely incapable of earning a living in any other way, and but for this in- dustry, would be a charge on the public funds. If Poppy Day did nothing but keep these men self-supporting and self-respecting citizens, it would' still be worthwhile. The organization Of Poppy Day, the tales, of wreaths and poppies, the 'handling of monies collected, the in- vestigation and relief of all applicants, are done by voluntary workers. No man or woman connectell in any way with this receives one cent as wages, salary, bonus, commission or allow- ance for expenses. All mollies collec- ted are plarin a special account which is controlled by a Board of Trustees of the Branch which makes the collection. • m .* * Buy and Wear a Poppy. • * * Get behind the boys that are making Victory possible.

There's something quite at- tractive about that distinctive smell of leaves when they're curling up ender a blaze. It seems to fit in well with the general fall surroundings. Stand- ing beside the fire you are warmed completely on one side while the dool air seems to nip on the other. The cats prowled, up to the edge of the rim of flickering golden light and their eyes gleamed wildly, The collie pup ambled over, stared into the fire and lay down. I guess he didn't like the damp ground because in a feW minutes he got tip again and poked off. ' We finally came in the house and I picked up the local paper. There were a couple of stories about boys in this neighborhood who have just recently come back from overseas. They've been discharged and are trying to take up where they left off when they went to war. One of them is planning on taking up land under ,the Veteran's Land Act. The story didn't say what the:other fellow is planning on doing. I heard at the grist mill the other day that he's planning on starting a machine shop in the village. It stuck in my mind, Joe and Bill are back. There'll be a lot more of them coming back in the next few monthS and of course when the whole affair is wound up, we hope they'll all come back. However, three of our township boys are 'sleeping over in Europe. I wonder if we're ready to welcome the lads back. Oh, there'll be the village band at the station and' a lot of people waving flags and some of the boys having a few at the hotel and everybody will be happy about the war being over. The township council will be on hand and the reeve of the village will make a speech about how the peace has .been *on by the blood of our "der" boys and the local mem- bers of Parliament will throw in, a do- nation to start the ball roiling for a township war memorial, Our merch- ants will close up while the speeches are on, and they'll open up later on to cmtch the crowd' before they go home. It should be a good day for business, The people will go home and talk about it while they're doing the chores. The young people will come back after supper for a dance in the township hall. For awhile everybody will be nice to the fellows who have come back and they'll be invited to sit at the head table at our agricultural banquet in the fall . and then we'll start forgetting them. I know things will be alright from the standpoint of celebrations, but will we really try to help the lads, I wonder if we'll, be tolerant with them and a bit understanding because of the terrible strain they've been through. Will we be kind to the boys in our own families who have come back? Will we remember not to single them Out and ..try and force stories out of them about the war when they don't angels give—George Macdonald.

Will we help Joe out when he has tough luck on his farm Will we re- member that Bill has a machine shop in the village and not take a broken casting as an excuse to make a trip to town? I stepped out on the porch before going to. bed, It was peaceful and quiet and the stars were twinkling in the cold fall sky. The air 'had a trace of the smell of burning leaves. I couldn't help but think that Bill and Joe were appreciating such things also . . but I couldn't help wonder if we would work at the task of bring-, ing Joe and Bill into our community.
