WAWANOSH LOSES ' SPLENDID CITIZEN With the passing on Wednesday, Sept. 9th of Mrs. William McQuillan of the 13th Concession, West Wawa - 'nosh mourns one of :its best beloved and most highly respected citizens. The late Mrs. McQuillan (formerly Annie Haines) was born sixty-two years ago at Caledonia, being a dau- ghter of the late Mr, and Mrs. Rob- ert Haines, When .five years of age she came with her parents to West Wawanosh, where she had since re- sided. Thirty-five years ago she was married to ,her now bereft husband and went to live on, the farm which continued to be their home through - ,out: their harried life. To them were born a family of eight children, six Of whom survive. They are: William, Fort Qu Appelle, Sask., Robert, of. Belleville; George and Charles, at Mildred and Beatrice the latter being teacher in St. Helens public school; twee daughters, Maude and Mary pre- deceased her, The deceased woman' was very highly esteemed by all Who•knew her. She was. of a very lovable disposition, hind' and unassuming in her manner, She was( a faithful and devoted mem- ber of the .Anglican Church at St. Helens, and was also associated with the St. Helens branch of the Wo- men's Institute, But it was in the home where her greatest of all in- terests centred. A faithful wife and devoted mother, she gave of her best for her family, by whom she will be sadly missed, 'The- fttneral was held the m Z o e fam- ily home last Friday afternoon, and was very largely attended by tieiglt- hors, friends and relatives. The sym- pathy of many was silently ,expressed by :beautiful floral tokens ' among ahem being a wreath from West Wa- wanosh Mutual Fire Insurance Com- pany, at which :Mr. McQttillan is a director„ The service at the house .446" nd grave was conducted by Rev. E. 90. Gallaher, ober, rector of the parish of Lucknow and St. .Helens.: The re- mains were interred in Greenhill cem- etery, Lucknow, and the following neighbors performed the ditties of palbearers:' Joseph Anderson, Mc - :Kenzie Webb Wallace Miller, t, I;d, Thorn, John Miller and Peter Wat- son, CONCERTS FAIRLY WELL ATTENDED The comedy `Corporal Eagen' stag- ed in the town hall en Thursday and Friday evenings was fairly well atten- ded considering the extreme heat. The play was under the auspices of the. Ladiee; Aid of the United Church, and was a production of the Universal Producing Company with, Miss Ilo Smith as instructor and trainer. The story centres aroung Red Eag- en, an Irish recruit and his Jewish buddy, Izzy Goldstein. Red is an- xious to get a promotion as he told his girl, Sally, that he was a captain. Instead of getting ` a promotion he gets in bad With the hard boiled Top. Seargent, who gives him along with Izzy K. P. ditty. Sally finally arrives and is arrested as a spy. Through an accident Red captures the real spy and Sally is released, while he gets promoted to Corporal: Other hum- orous parts are when two old men, the Irishman and the Jew, fathers of Red and Izzy come to camp and fall in love with the. nurses. The old maid war worker brought many laughs, as she was trying to land a husband, fin- ally eloping with a Y. M. C. A. wor- ker. The showy opened with a patriotic pageant in which. about 100 young- sters took part. During the pageant "My Dream of the Big Parade" was read by. Mr. 'W. Brawley. Several specialty numbers such as the Min- strel Show Sailors and Soldiers chor- uses by the teen and novelty numbers by a group of girls in special cost - times and singing some of the popu- lar war time songs added much to the ev'ening's 'entertainment. Solos were given by Mrs. J. M. McKay, who sang "The Rose of No Man's Land", and "She was Only a Sailor's' Sweetheart" by Mr. Bruce Edgar. Those who, took., part in the cast were, Red Eagen (Trish Doughboy), Reg. Douglas; Izzy 'Goldstein; (Jew- ish' Buddy),. Arnold Vint; Michael Eagen (Red's father), Alex.

J. Breen of Turnberry, as the result of an accident when the truck he was entering on the Kitchener -Elmira highway toppled over into the ditch. He jumped and suffered injuries to his back and a ruptured kidney which necessitated an operation. The crown has decided that the mishap was acci- dental and no inquest will be held. Wray and Roy Adair were taking a trailer of pigs to Kitchener. They had exchanged places and Roy Adair was at the cab wheel. One of the truck wheels did not function prop- erly due to a locked brake and. Wray got out to investigate. He was clim- bing aboard the slowly moving truck when it started to slip, the load of pigs all sliding to one side and the trailer went into the ditch, pulling the cab after it. Besides his sorrowing parents, he is survived by three sisters and four brothers, namely, Wm. G., Port Stan- ley; Jas. V., Morris Township; Robt. J. at home; D. Sanderson of London; Mrs. Geo, W. Love, Chatsworth; Mrs. B. H. Miller, Detroit, Mich.; and Mrs, R. G. Gannett, of Wingham. The funeral was held from his late residence, lot 12, con. 6, Turnberry, at 2 o'clock on Monday, September 14th, the service being conducted by Rev. Kenneth MacLean of Wingham and Rev. Mr. Finlay of Gorrie, with interment being made in Wingham cemetery, The pallbearers Were jack Gallaher, Walter Wood, Harry Prast, Fred Doubledee, Herman Metcalfe, and Graham Wray. The floral trib- utes were many and beautiful, show- ing the high esteem in which Wray was held. Deepest sympathy is extended to Mr. and Mrs. Breen and family and also Miss Edythe L. Adair.

SLOW DRIVER IS A TRAFFIC MENACE Under some circumstances, the slow motor car driver is as great a menace to life and limb as the one who travels at an inordinate rate of speed. It is important that on the main travelled arteries at least, traf- fic be kept moving steadily. The driv- er who rolls -along at 15 or 20 miles per hour constitutes only a hindrance and an obstruction. In order to pass them it is necessary for others to cut -in. During the last session of the Leg- islature, an amendment was made to the Highway Traffic Act which made it an offence to drive so slowly on a provincial highway as to cause a menace. to traffic: Those drivers who wish to travel at dilatory speed can ,.find plenty of quiet on lightly travelled side roads for their motorized ramblings. They should not be allowed to holt- up mo- torists who are not content to travel at a pace little faster than a walk. Ir• Morris Christie, who spent the suintner on the "Taslimoo' running front Detroit to Sarnia has returned home.

ALL SET FOR STREET ,CARNIVAL Buy Ydur Tickets Early, Final arrangements have now been made for . Wingharn's Mammoth Street Carnival to be held on the main street on Thursday Evening of this week, September 17th, From all reports, a bumper crowd will partici-, pate in the fun that is being prepared for the occasion.

YOUTH NARROWLY ESCAPES DROWNING A drowning accident was narrowly averted near Case Black's mill on the 9 -mile tiver west of Dungannon on Saturday evening. A number of lit- tle boys were swimming in the mill race which is quite deep. Neill Hain- es, the eight-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Gilles Haines, suddenly sank to the bottom and had gone down the second time before those present re- alized that he was in danger. filen Park, a 'young pian of about eighteen who was near by, saw the young lad's plight and went in with his clothes on, to Neil's rescue, It was neces- sary to dive right to the bottom to reach hint. This was 'done and the little. fellow «'as brought to the sur- face, Willing hands soon had the boy out of the water and first aicl was ren- dered. Although he was pretty far through, he soon resusitated and was little the worse. for the accident. GRANTS TO FALL FAIRS TO BE CUT Hon. Thomas I., hennedy is serv- ing an ultiniatuni upon Fall Fair As- sociations: in Ontario that unless they discontinue their practise of looking chiefly to Queen's Park for financial assistance,, the usual Government grants .will not 'be fart:hcoming in '82. He is convinced that manyfairs show too little pride in therttselves, that they would sooner ask the Govern- ment for help than their own muni- cipalities, Consequently lie is taking steps to alter that attitude. This year. the usual grants will be made, but next year the Government will give a fair po more money than the fair's municipality gives. On the present -iasis 4. contribution, several fairs at least would :haute to suspend cipaea- tions, The Government contributes between $86,060 and $100,000 a sea- son in supporting these fairs, Under the new policy a considerable part of the ex i. 1 enditure' will be served which is in line with the general policy of retrenchment in the department. mmenAO .1ONx�1n.u.A ..�.

The com- mittee in charge are fortunate in se- curing such a noted speaker for the opening of the Fair on Saturday, Oc- tober 10th. APPLE YIELD HEAVY IN HURON COUNTY One good reason why Huron Coun- ty will have a 50,000 -barrel crop this year -80 per cent. better than last— is to be found in the 75 -acre Sloan orchard in Goderich Township, the largest apple orchard in the county. Here is to be found a revelation indeed, 75 acres of trees so heavily laden with apples that it keeps at- tendants busy hauling props to keep the limbs off the ground. Never was there such a crop in point of quantity and quality. The apples are practi- cally all McIntosh Reds and Spies. G. A. Johnston, the manager of this beautiful estate, stated he expect- ed a 4,000 -barrel yield and that pick- ing and packing would start in two weeks. He refused to hazard what price the apples would bring. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Mr. Neil Carr is visiting at the home of his parents, Mr, and Mrs. A. Carr. Mrs. J. E.

RAIN CHECKS FIRE AT GRAND BEND A sudden thunderstorm saved the village of Grand Bend from .destruc- tion last night when it brought under control a fierce fire, which, cutting. a swath a mile wide, had swept within two miles of the summer resort. About 2,000 acres of marshland, lo- cated south of the village and east of the Blue Water Highway; were burned over. For five anxious hours, beginning about 4 o'clock in the afternoon,. while black . clouds of smoke hung like a pall over the district the safe- ty afety of Grand Bend was in doubt, Al- most 100 men of the district went out to fight the flames and owners of summer cottages along the Buse Wa- ter Highway, between the village and•. the fire, made ready to move out their furniture: When the flames extending on both sides and moving forward with alarming rapidity, threatened the vil- lage, the shovels which had been us- ed to beat out the fire were forsaken for plows. Large stretches of the marshland were plowed tip in an ef- fort to stem the march of the fire. But for several hours it continued steadily toward the village before the rainfinally assisted the weary men. Three settlers on land, east of the bushland, known as the Pinery, near- ly lost their, homes. They were Joe Martelle, Ira Stebbins and. Emery Stebbing. Other settlers were also in danger of having their property des- troyed. After dusk the flames lit up the sky for miles around, and in Grand Bend it was as light as day. Start- ing about 1 o'clock in the afternoon the fire was fanned by a strong south wind, and in three hours had spread o proportions sufficient to•alarm the district. Although the smoke was heavy near the Blue Water Highway, traffic was not interrupted to any great ex- tent. Late at night the fire was still burning to the west of Lake Smith, and Grand Bend was not in danger. The fighters had it under control. How the fire started has not been determined. The theory was advanc- ed in Grand Bend, that picnickers or berry pickers dropped a .match or possibly started a camp fire and fail- ed to extinguish it. The land, formerly owned by the Canada Land Company, is now held by a hunting syndicate. There have been several other fires in the same area. KINLOSS RESIDENT to Gatterich; FLOWER CONTEST BY BLUEVALE INSTITUTE The regular meeting of the 'Wo- men's Institute was held an 'Tli.urs- day afternoon at the hone. of Mrs. Stanley Gallaher, with a good attend- ance of members and visitors.

TAMAN FAMILY TO ENTER CANADA After more than a month of swel- tering in the Wayne County jail at Detroit, John H. Taman, 34 -year-old' war veteran and a native of Goder- ich Township, is to be allowed his freedom to bring his wife and fam- ily to Canada. Announcement has been made by immigration officials at Ottawa that Mrs. Taman, who be- cause of her English birth, was threatened with deportation, will be allowed entry to Canada. The four American -born children will also be allowed to come into Canada, and the family, it is understood, will proceed SERIOUSLY INJURED While removing a tractor and threshing separator from his barn early Wednesday morning, Melvin Ir- win, 2nd concession, Kinloss town ship, met with a serious accident. Evidently he became entangled in the clutch of the moving tractor, and al- most instantly was hurled from his position and crushed between the en- gine and separator. Lacerations and bruises received are sufficient to confine the victim to, bed for some time. Jaynes Irwin, a b brother, who was at the scene of the accident, narrowly escaped serious in- juries, e Publicity given the case during the past few days may have helped con- siderably in hurrying action at Ot- tawa and allowing mother and child- ren to accompany the, father into Canada. American immigration officials had placed the blame for delay in allow - ng Taman his freedom upon the Canadian government, Ali that was necessary to complete the deportation of Taman to Canada was proof of his Canadian birth, according to the T.nited States officials, and that had een made a simple matter •by Tam- n's birth certificate which was for - yarded to Ottawa, Mrs. Tamar had very right 10 enter Canada, ,the Am- rican officials contend, because she was of British girth and was married c a Canadian. The troubles of the Tamans with he immigration authorities began on • my 21 of this year when the Ameri- an officials leareied of the alleged -legal entry of the young couple to he United States shortly after theirmarriage in 1922. The Tamans prob- bly averted arrest for a short time y returning to Goderich, but in Aug- st, they went back to Detroit and re said. to have. passed a$ American itizens Three days after their return to etroit, iminigratiau officials visited e Taman apartment : and placed rs. Taman under arrest. Her hes,. and followed to the. police station, ()testing the action, of the officers, rs. Taman was released to care for e children, but her husband was aced under arrest. v Both Mr. and Mrs, Taman have Id positions ,in Detroit, and have en citizens wham any city might elcome. Ther illegal entry to the nited States'in 1922 has been the osis of the. charges which have re- ntly been laid against them How of is illegal entry puzzles the young e uple.American authorities learned e FRESHIES SOF 1931 STAGE PARADE Tuesday was the fatal day, the day the freshies hope will never arrive,. but a day they will enjoy a year from. now. Instructions were given to all freshies of the Wingham High School to dress in fitting fashion for the an- nual initiation ceremony. They ap- peared in their oldest of old clothes With odd sacks, odd boots and even barefooted.' Those in charge of the initiation thought even with old clothes they looked too respectable, so they "ar- tistically" added tottclte� Y of paint of different hues until the mothers would hardly recognize the result, The freshies, as lambs led to the slaughter paraded up and down main street, and on assembling at the bank corner, lifted up their voices in' "perfect lar - moray" to sing that gland old refrain, "Hail, Hail, the Gangs All Here" tis: the closing number on ' the loth. to len remembered day, f t is also rumored that there, will be no indigestion among'tbo freshies 'for some time as a quanatity of cas- tor oil had been procured before the ceremonies commenced.
