OPENING GAME
FRIDAY NIGHT
Owing to adverse weather condi-
tions the opening hockey game in
Wingham Arena, arranged for last
week with Kincardine seniors as the
guest artists, had to be called off. The
weather . man gave promise of real
winter weather for Friday evening of
this week, and accordingly the fish-
ermen will be down to give battle, As
these players want to return on the
evening train the game will start at'
8 o'clock sharp.
The next game will. be on Monday
night, when Ripley Juniors will cross
sticks with our boys.
On Tuesday night the seniors play-
ed in Ripley in a great game, and
though they came home with the
short end of a 1-0' decision, there may
be reasons not necessary to state for
this: Ripley got their counter in the
second period: Following were the
local players: J. McGee, A. and W.
Lockridge, J. Ross, K. ,Somers and
H. Browne, subs, Bert McIntyre, H.

'OBITUARY
Mrs. Jemima Hopper
After a lingering illness of several.
months, Mrs. Jemima Hopper, in her.
73rd year, passed to her eternal rest
at the home of her nephew, Mr, Mil-
ton Hopper, Sault Ste. Marie, on
Thursday, January 2nd. Following a
short service at ' the residence the
mortal remains were removed by C.
1', R. train to Bruce on `Saturday and
thence to Cloudslee United Church
where the funeral service, attended
by a large number of relatives and
friends, was conducted by Rev, ]'. H,
Martin, the pastor, who spoke of the.
high esteem in which the late Mrs.
Hopper was held by,all who .knew
her, paying a warm tribute to her iiclt
and beautiful. Christian. character. The
deceased was always interested.in the
best things of life 'and gave herself
without reserve to worthy projects.
Any known need was to her a call to
service. Where there was sickness
she was the :first to render assistance.
On account of failing health she was
cornpelled,to:relinquish-her task.
These `fruits of the spirit' were the
products of her Christian faith, She
endured, as seeing Him' who - is invis-
ible.
The late Mrs. Hopper was horn at
Cartwright, Ont., but moved with her
parents, the late'Mr, and Mrs. James
Grigg, when a small grit to East Wa-
wanosh, t cosh
Huron, County,., where she
spent most of her life. In 1885 she
became the wife of the late Williaint
Hopper, The evening time of her
lift'; was spent with relatives in Wing -
ham and Algoma, Early last spring
she underwent an operation in the
General'Hospital, Sault,-�wlrichonly
buought relief for a time, hot grad-
ually her strength was sapped by the

At the close of the most success-
ful
ucces,5-ful year in the history of the Chapter
and the beginning of the new year,
which portends even greater interest,
it was most appropriate that the mem-
bers, should enjoy not only the dig-
nity of the installation ceremony but
also. the beautiful and impressive cer-
emony of initiation which was .con-
ferred on several candidates on this
occasnon.
Before retiring Mrs. W. A. Miller
and Mr. Dustin Beecroft were honor-
ed by the investiture of the jewels of
their office, Mrs. J. A. Wilson on be-
half of the Chapter presentnig the
jewel to the W. M 'Mrs: Miller, and
Miss A. Mitchell presenting the jew-
el. to the W. P. r. D. Beecroft.
Dainty gifts, were bestowed on the
installing officers by Mrs. Spotton,
Refreshments were served and a
social hour' enjoyed.
ST. PAUL'S S. 5..
ENTERTAINMENT
An excelleht program was given in
the Parish Hall, on Friday night last
under the auspices ;of St,•Pauls' Sun-
day School, consisting of motion
songs, solos, duets and recitations by
the Primary Class. A Sunbeam drill

small boys. There were also readings
dialogues, vocal and instrumental so-
los and duets by the younger pupils
as well as a drill and tableaeu when
the different nations were represent-
ed by members of the Junior Bible
Classes. Messrs. A. J. Nortrop and
Bert Abell sang solos in their usual
splendid manner while IVlisses Anne
Irwin and Jean Lenard rendered a
very pleasing duet. 'All the numbers
were well received from, the tiny tots
to the adults, and those in charge of
the program deserve considerable cre-
dit for the manner in which it was
carried out, while the children are to
be congratulated on the excellent way
in which they performed their differ-
ent parts. After the singing of the
National Anthem all the children pre
sent were treated to candy.

THE FIRE AARIVI
WORKED
On Thursday night while: a fierce
blizzard raged for a few hours and
the temperature hovered around the
zero mark,a town hopeful .od' about
12 years, suddenly became possessed
of one ofthose misehievious nnvesti-
gation moods • so common to that age,.
and started' to. find' out how the fire
siren worked. The process was beau-
tifully simple event if terrifying to the
youngster. In fooling with the switch
he short circuited: the wires and in-
stantly the siren poured, forth its
mournful wail, Terrified the kid tried
to stop it, but no one but an exper-
ienced electrician could do this, and
for about ten minutes the whole town
thought there was a real fire in pro-
gress, andat the same time expressed
their sympathy - for the firemen in
fighting a fire under such weather
conditions. Possibly' a hundred men
gathered at the town hall, and what-
ever their thoughts; were about the
boy's actions, all felt 'relieved it was
a false alarm. Saturday morning the
young chap appeared before his Wor-
ship Mayor Fells, who impressed him
on the seriousness, of his action in
meddling with the fire alarm, and dis-
missed him with a warning to keep
away from the town hall in future.

SCHOOL SECTION NO. 5, TURNBERRY,
OPEN THIRD SCHOOL IN 70 YEARS
It is a .long look backwards to some
seventyerrst
1'` ago, when the pioneer
settlers of School Section No. 5, of
Turnberry, built the first school, a
substantial log structure, on the farm
of . Joseph Smiths9th 'concession.
Here the children of the section re-
ceived their education, with particu-
lar emphasis on their "R's" reading,
'riting', 'rithinatie, a mighty finebasis
for any educational need, whether
past, present or future. Many of the
uld pupils have passed the final ex-
amination in life, bat some of the gra-
duates of this proven, academy are
'still residents of Wingham and vicin-
ity, and include the Woods brothers
of Turnberry, now in their 85th and
83rd years. After a few year's ser-
vice the old log school became too
small to hold the fast growing crop
of Canadian boys and girls, soa larg-
er frame structure made its appearan-
ce on the Smith farm and served the
people for 60 years, until it myster-
iously disappeared in a fire last fall.
This latter building provided for
the needs of the community and from
it, in the course of its long history,
went a large army' of youths into var-
ious fields, 'notablymedicine and sur-
gery, the ministry, education and, of
course, business. Those who grad-
uated from the second of Turnberry's
schools have scattered far and wide
and their associations in after life
have left their mark in the progress
of the Dominion and other lands.
Following. the fire, the trustees, Jos.
Smith, A, Hastings and N. Under-
wood, proceeded to have a modern
school erected building rld g operations
being rushed 'so that the building
was,

Special attention was given to light-
ing, the whole south side being of
glass, so that the light cones over
the shoulders of the pupils makes no
shadows, and eliminates that glare on
the blackboards so common in major-
ity of schools, British Columbia fir
was used for flooring and inside trim,
giving a very pleasing appearance. In
the basement is a hot air furnace, and
the chemical toilets, evidence a pro-
per conception of propriety of things
for health and , sanitary conditions.
The building is equipped with modern
individual adjustable desks for the pu-
pils,
The official opening took place a
week ago, when Reeve I. 5. Wright,
welcomed the ratepayers and offered
congratulations to those responsible
for this splendid structure. Mr. Geo.
Spotton, M.P., also extended felicita-
tions, while regrets were read from
Dr. Field, I.P.S., and Mr. C. A. Rob-
ertson, who were detained because of
previous engagements. Following
this, cards and dancing entertained,
