JOHN NETHERY AND MRS RIC ably the oldest twins in Ontario, grave on Monday of last week. HARD LEISHMAN, who are prob- celebrated their 82nd birthday at ]3e1 - Twins are not uncommon, but twins who live to celebrate their 82nd birthday together are few and far be- tween, Such, hOwever, are John Neth- ery and Mrs. Richard Leishman, prob- ably the oldest twins in Ontario, who 'marked the 82nd anniversary df their birth on MOnda3r of last week at Bel - grave.' It was a real reunion at the inform- al gatherng of relatives and friends to wish the couple many more happy birthdays. Mr. Nethery and Mrs. Leishman were born in Ireland in the year 1845 andcarne to Canada with their. par- ents when they were but 6 years of age. They crosserlethe Atlantic on a sailing vessel and the trip occupied seven weeks. It was not monotonous, however, as Mr. Nethery and his sis- ter remember it. Mr. Nethery recalls a monstrous whale being sighted and, the captain of the ship took the little lad in his arms that hp might the bet- ter see the wonderful sight. So close did the monster come to the ship that it was feared for a time that he would strike the vessel and wreck rit. On their arrival in this country the • Netherys first settled in the Township of Darlington, where they took up land, After a few years, however, they moved to the County of Huron, then little but a trackless forest. It was in Huron that the twins received their early education. Toiled as Pioneers. As part and parcel of a pioneer community Mr. Nethery and Mrs. Leishman took their full share in the •toil of those days. Farms were hewn out of the forest, roads were built and many of the homes in' Belgrave still stand on timbers which were hewn by the early settlers. In those days grain was sown by hand and reaped with sickle and scythe. The wheat had to be taken many miles to a mill to obtain flour for the family larder, and the journey often occupied three or four days. Mrs. Leishman was married in 186g and raised a family of ix children, eight of whom are still living. She has 31 grand,children and two great-grand- children. ' Mr. Nethery was married in 1880. He also had, a family of Ix, and, like his sister, eight are still living. He has eight grandchildren. He has been a farmer most of his life, but now takes it easy in his comfortable little home, which is surrounded by great maples and spruce and a delightful garden with many old-fashioned flow ers. He is an Anglican and a staunch ,Conservative in politics. He has been a member of the Orange Order since 1866' and has held many offices in both the Orange and Black. Among the guests present at the double birthday celebration were: Mrs. J. Armstrong, London; Mr. and Mrs. A. Anderson, Longwoods; Mr. and, Mrs. William Douglas, Lucknow; Mr. and Mrs. J. McGill, Blyth; Misses Marion and Isabel Douglas, of Luck - now; Mr. and Mrs, C. Wade, of Ble- grave; Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Nethery, of Morris; IVir. and Mrs, J. G. Nethery, of Belgrave; Mr. and Mrs. A. AeNe- thery, of Belgrave; Herman Nethery, of Belgrave; J. Vancarnp, of Belgrave; Miss Nora Vancamp, of Belgrave. Congratulations and gifts were re- ceived from many others who were unable to attend the gathering. I Mrs. Leishman and Mr. Nethery are both enjoying the best of health and expect to enjoy many more birthdays together.

INVEST WITH LOCAL DEALERS Anyone having a roll of money that is burning a hole in his pocket would be well advised to consult his banlcer or a reliable investment deal- er. All this talk about so much mon- ey coming into Canada this year is likely to attract an army of strong- arm salesmen peddling worthless se- curities. "Before you invest, investi- gate."

ASK PROVINCE TO TAKE OVER ELIJEWATER HIGHWAY A large deputation, representative of all the tqwns along the Blue Water highWay, which stretches from Sar- nia to Midland along the shores of Lake Huroe and Georgian Bay, will shortly wait on Hon. G. S. Henry, minister of highways, with a view of having the route taken over as a pro- vincial highway. The decision was reached at the recent annual meeting of the association. The amount of tourist traffic over the highway has increased so much that the highway merits some attention. It was esti- mated that 12,000 tourists have come up over the •highway this year and that they had spent not less than a a great crime -preventive measure- million dollars along the' route, All 1 ery, young man should learn a ,trade officers of the association were re- as good craftsmen are always ,in de - elected ' maid, VALUE OF A TRADE GIVEN A FERNERY The warden of Kingston peniten- tiary matte a startling announcement recently. He said that in all the years he has been in charge not a sin- gle mechanic has been confined in the prison. The soo rnen imprisoned now for terms of two years or more are all without a useful trade. They are men who worked at odd jobs, were often put of employment and had time on their hands. It goes to prove that the keeping of men employed is Five things wen done The Cosy Hame Quebec heats, cooks, bakes supplies hot water and burns any kind of fuel. -For Sale in Wingham at • BUCHANAN'S ° HARDWARE 1 St, Paul's parish hall held, a merry lot oi youot renp1.0 on Friday even- ing last, when Mi, 40,41 Mrs A M.
