sion in his 96th year. He was
born in the County of Fermanagh,
'Ireland, June 6, 1343 and carne to
this country when 17 years old,
After working with a farmer in
Stanley Township for a number of
year's he rented a farm there, mov-
ing some years after to McKiiloP
where he lived for some time, later
purchasing a farm on the 5th con-
cession of Tuckersmith where he
spent the remainder of his life. His
wife, formerly Miss 'Caroline Gra-
ham, predeceased him five years
ago, Mr McGavin was an honor-
able, quiet, industrious man who
enjoyed the confidence and esteem
of the community, He is survived
by five sons, John on the home•;

Spooks Were Scarce
Hallowe'en passed exceptionally
quietly in the village this year. No
doubt the fact that special officers
were on duty and a sharp lookout
was being kept to prevent the de-
struction of property, was an
effective deterrent to those who
were in the habit of allowing their
hallowe'on pranks to assume pro-
portions entirely out of keeping
with the hilarity of the occasion,
No serious damage has been re-
ported, Hainnless fun and the usual
"shell -out'' 'parties, groups of
youngsters in appropriate costume
visiting their friends in hopes of
gifts of cantly etc., were the order
of the evening. The spirit of
Hallowe'en, it's witches, hobgoblins
and prankishness have vanished for
another year,

Davis. The probram, evened with
a singsong after which a number
of .amusing games were whole-
heartedly enjoyed by those who had
came. Sir, and Mrs. Drummond,
and MIrs. Dr, Hamilton very kindly
Undertook the difficult task of
picking out the best costumes in
the parade, First prize went to
Geraldine Strotton for the best
girl, Pat Graham won first prize
for 111e best dressed boy, Mrs,
Antes of Ethel proved to ire the
best dressed lady and {'.leve David,
son looked to be the best dressed
gentleman. After the prograp
an abundance of bone trade candy
was served, and a bushel of number
ono htartntosh Red apples was dis-
t1•tiruted, ']'hese apples were the
gift of Mr, R. J. McLauchlin, tiro

appreciated. Altogether e. moat
enjoyable evening was spent,

1939 Car Markers
Should Suit Kickers
During the past year expressions
of disapproval were heard etc every
side o the choice of color combina-
tion used on car markers by the On-
tario Dept, of Highways, and the big
objection seemed to be that the
figures on the plates were not
legible, When one observed the
many cars on the lhighays with
markers covered with a grime .of
oil and dust, figures a foot riga
with red barn paint as a coloring;
wnuld be no more visible. However,
the 1939 markers with their jet
Mack background with white
numerals and letters should satisfy
those not in accord with this year's
choice of color,

Big Crowd Sees
Saw -Off On
Seaforth Grounds
One of the largest crowds to see
a football game in Seaforth was
established when Owen Sd
feated Brussels in Gte W,A,F,ound finale -
e
series 3-1, Weather was perfect
football weather and the host of
football enthusiasts who visited
Seaforth sate one of the finest dis-
plays of ('anadian football.
By the volume of the cheering
all the village of Brussels had turn-
ed out to encourage the home town
boys, There seemed also to be a
number- of Owen Sound supporters
who had tome 0 long distance to
root for their own gang, The Owen
Sound teaan on the whole seemed
to have a little better passing abil-
ity and they elicited better than
Brussels, The Brussels team, how-
ever, deserve great credit for their
gallant but futile attempt to gain
tile title.
Action started right off at the
first blow of the referee's whistle.
Within five minutes of ;play Brus-
sels countered and It seemed as it
they were well on their way to vic-
tory. In the first few minutes,
Brussels had a decided edge.
Lowe netted this goal. The goal
was disputed by ,Owen Sound but
the referee allowed it.
After that, Owen Sound had a
decided edge on the play and only
by luck clic' the Brussels goalie Pre-
vent them from scoring, Once the
ball hit the corner of the goal and
a second time it hit the top. 'The
Owen Sound boys kept the ball
around the Brussels goal continual-
ly in the first half. At the end of
the first half Brussels had the lead
1-0,
Early in the second half, Owen
Sound tied the score cu a surprise
play by MacLean. This evened the
score and from then an both teams
played to Ole utmost. But Owen
Sound took a slight edge in the play
at .502110 tidies. At other times
Brussels looked better. From then
