Blinding duststorms, driven in from the south on the wings of a 40 -mile gale, for the third time this year re- modelled the contour of the southern prairies. Ditches were filled, farm fencing disappeared, and swirling clouds of browns powder choked a countryside.

Roosevelt Makes Statement On Debt Ad}ustment Washington— President Roosevelt made it clear he was opposed to par- ticipations in any general conference to consider a settlement of the world's debts. At the White House it was au- thoritatively explained that, while the United States was perfectly willing to TJJE WINGI-L M ADVANCE -TIMES PAGE TITRE enter any discussions concerning re- vision oradjustment ofexisting debt funding .agreements with any single nation, the United States would not join in any general debt discussions, Explosion Hurls Flywheel 440 Yards Montreal—Hurled with deadly force by an explosion, a large part of a fly- wheel travelled about 440 yards in the air, tore its way ;through _the roof and the third storey floor in a Verdun home •to strike and kill Robert Pat- rick, 48, as he sat reading a newspap- er. The death -dealing piece of iron, weighing 24 pounds, was one of four pieces into which a large sawing fly- wheel at the lumberyard of J. P.

Released from Cook County jail by friends who put up that amount, the former utilit- ies operator went at once to a guest room in St. Luke's Hospital. Insull will rest in the hospital without cost. The superintendent said this was in repayment of Insull's contribution to the institution when he was the city's wealthiest man. Montreal Plans Big Housing Venture Montreal—A new slum -clearing and housing plan calling for expenditure of $104,000,000, which would tie life insurance to housing and, it is claim- ed, banish unemployment while rais- ing annual city revenue, is being stud- ied by. the Executive Committee of the City of Montreal at the sugges- tion of Mayor Camillien Houde. The . new plan is that of James A. Armstrong, Montreal engineer; pre- liminary financing would call for sub- scription of $10,000 each by ten pub- lic -credited citizens to obtain letters patent, charters and secure the ne- cessary options on land. ' Development of workers' housing districts, demolition of all slums and insanitary factory and commercial properties, a rent restriction act and provision for financing repairs and remodelling are embraced in the plan, McTemple Under Close Guard St. Thomas—Officials at the County Jail were warned to keep a strong guard on duty at all times and to take on chances with Frank Mactem- ple (otherwise known as Frank Tem- ple), captured at West Lorne early Thursday morning on a charge of murdering Constable Colin C. Me- Gregor of the city Police Department after on eof the most intensive' man- hunts in the history of Western On- tario, The Chief said "My first experience with Temple was twenty-nine or thir- ty years ago, when I went to Port Burwell and got him on a local theft charge," Chief I{etchabaw stated. "He was convicted and sent to jail and he made his escape from jail, There is no doubt that he will watch for an opportunity to make another escape." Hepburn Charges `Tolllgate System', McClenaghan Says Charge 'Absurd' Harry Price, Conservative member of the Ontario Legislature for West York, and his brother, Ray Price, at one time held, and possibly still hold, a distiller's agency for the sale of li- quor to the Ontario Liquor Control Board, Mitchell F. Hepburn, Ontario Liberal Leader, chaged at Pembroke. In mentioning the names of the Price brothers Mr. Hepburn said he was accepting the challenge of Prem- ier George S. Henry to furnish spec- ific information in connection with his earlier allegations that a "tollgate system" existed for the purchase of liquor in Ontario. He promised to furnish other names at the proper tim e. Stewart McClenaghano, chairman of the Ontario liquor control board, de- clared Mitchell F. Hepburn's tollgate charge was "so absurd that it is hard- ly worth while to contradict it." Mr. McClenaghan said the total for- eign imports by the board during the 12 months ended Oct. 31, 1933, am- ounted to only $810,164. He wond- ered "if Mr. Hepburn thinks the On- tario public can be made to believe canny Scotsmen would pay $3,000,000 for the privilege of selling $810,000 worth of goods." NEWS of the DISTRICT Child Hit by Car Has Leg Broken A motor accident which might have had more serious results happened at the intersection of Huron and Orange streets, Clinton, when a car going west on No. 8 highway driven by E.

Deer at Menesetung H. B. M. Tichborne and F. A. El- liott, returning on Saturday from Menesetung Park, where they had been doing some work, caught sight of a strange animal which eventually resolved itself into a young deer. It was the first time they had seen a deer at large and they watched it with fascinated eyes. It paidno attention, apparently t, the men, hut ambled away into file woods, soaring over fences as if it had wings.—Goderich Signal. Colborne Township Council Gives No Seed Grain Assistance At the regular meeting of the Col- borne Township council only one ap- plication for assistance' under the Seed Grain Act appeared, and the Council took no action in the matter. This disposes finally of the much-dis- cussed matter, for this year at least. It is understood that most of the far- mers who had applied for assistance have made shift in some manner for the season, although in some cases it means the sowing of inferior grain. —Goderich Signal. A Quick Arrest Smashing out a heavy wire screen in the combination jail and fire hall here, three transients who were ar- rested at the C.N.R. station for be- ing drunk, clambered out to freedom, and then hiked eighteen miles down the railroad tracks to Goldstone, only to walk into the arms of waiting po- lice officers.—Palmerston Observer. Who's Head of -the House? Court Will Decide Goderich—Crown Attorney Holmes in court declared the husband was the head of the house and was to be held responsible for the actions of anyone living in his home. His remarks were made during the trial of Charles Bell, who pleaded not guilty to keeping li- quor for sale. The Crown Attorney maintained Bell should be found guil- ty, although the evidence presented showed his wife had actually made the sale. Frank Donnelly, Bell's coun- sel, opposed Mr. Holmes' view and the case was remanded a week in or- der that references may be studied. Mules for Farm Work This week a team of mules, belong- ing to Mr. Elliott Pinnell of Ayr, and used last winter on his bakery route, arrived in Teeswater, after a long hike. They were headed for Mr. Walter Pinnell's, where, we under- stand, they will be used on the farm for the summer months.—Teeswater News. Horses Die from Heat Stricken by the sudden change from severe cold to blazing heat, a valuable team of horses belonging to Mr. Writ. Schrieber, while engaged in seeding operations on their owner's farm a half mile west of Elmwood, in Brant Twp., were overtaken by sun- stroke and died shortly after having the harness removed from position.— Walkerton Herald -Times. Stolen Car Found at Molesworth Chief Constable C. F. Rocher found a new Pontiac coach on the side of the road near Molesworth.' As the car was a 1934 model and had only about four thousand miles registered on the speedometer Chief Rocher brought it to Listowel' and made en- quiries as to the owner. After com- municating with outside forces the owner was found in Guelph. The ear belonged to Mr, 5. Knight of that city and hadbeen stolen the night previ- ous.—Listowel Standard. Milverton Man is 90 Years Old John McCourt, veteran Orangeman of Milverton, celebrated his 90th birthday Thursday at his home here on Main street North. He was born in. T3anbridge County Down, Ireland, May 10, 1844, and was the oldest son of James McCourt who was a pioneer of Mina Township. Mr, McCourt is vigorous, physically and mentally, and his stories of older tirnes are a never failing source of delight. In 1869 he crossed the Panama Isthmus by rail 1 HYDRO LAMPS • `- The Long Life Lamps" des t try OT Vice mrd t,@.Ear y rite d beep a CeaAou, o/ SIS Cain pe it The Hound Wingham Utilities Commission Phone 156.

Being a piper and violinist no mean ability, he had many oppor- tunities to exercise his skill at this time as his lively tunes were much in demand in the camp, Deer Tangled in Wires Last week as Mr. James Moore of town and his son-in-law, Mr, Roy Caslick, of Brant, were cruising ar- ound the outer boundaries of their grass ranch, two miles northwest' of Enniskillen in Greenock Twp., and upon which a group of half a dozen deer have their headquarters, they en- countered one of the number who had made its last run and lost out in the effort. Apparently in the attempt ear- ly in the winter to hurdle a woven wire fence, it failed to scale the tap strand, and getting a rear leg tangled in the wire was unable to extricate itself from its position of being astride the fence. The unfortunate fleet -foot, being in a place which is not habitat - ed, and no one coming to its rescue, was left to the fate that awaited it by perishing through exposure, and when discovered had little more than the pelt remaining of it.—Walkerton Herald -Times. Goderich Elevator Company Doing Better The annual statement of the God- erich Elevator Company was present- ed by the president, Mr. G. L. Par- sons, and proved a source of satisfac- tion to the shareholders in that it showed an improvement in business during 1933 over the previous year. This is considered satisfactory in view of the general condition of in- dustry and gives grounds for hope that the coming year will be even bet- ter. As a matter of fact this is the first time since 1931 that any better- ment has been shown at all. Credit for this state of affairs is said to be due to the fact that grain receipts in- creased 59 per cent. largely owing to the lowered cost of water haulage.- Goderich Star. 93 -Year -Ofd Man Breaks Ribs -Will Recover To all appearances, William Miller 93 years of age, is on the road to re- covery, following an eight -foot drop through an open trap door to the basement floor at his home a mile east of the village. His injuries caus- ed by the mishap included two bro- ken ribs, a severed artery on the top of his head, bruises and lacerations. To the prompt action and coolness of his 83 -year-old sister, Mrs. Peter Torrance, Mr. Miller probably owes his life. With blood spurting from the head wound in such quantities that 'ere long the old man would have bled to death, Mrs. Torrance summon- ed medical attention and in the mean- time did what she could to check the flow of blood.—Lucknow Sentinel. Verdict Was. Accidental Deatfi Goderich—A verdict of accidentals death was brought in by the jury at: the inquest held Thursday into the• death of Thomas Gauley who suffered fatal injuries when he fell from a chute in Graham's ice house. Coron- er Dr. J. B. Whitley conducted the inquiry. Dr. A. H.
