Mr. F. C. Kalbfleisch has in-
stalled a dust collector in his
flax mill which adds greatly to
the comfort and convenience
of the men at work. When flax
fibre is threshed or manufac-
tured ready for market. par
titles of earth, etc., float in
the air and at times it is diffi-
cult to work in the mill. The
collector installed removes
nearly all of this, and Mr. Kalb-
fliesch is to be •congratulated
for looking after the welfare of
his workmen.
Mr. John Decker Sr., has sold
his fine farm east of the vil-
lage, together with the stock
and implements to his son, Mr.
William Decker, who gets pos-
session at once. Mr. Decker
has made a success of farming
and now intends to take life a
little easier and enjoy the fruits
of his labor. He intends mov-
ing to Zurich to reside in the
near future.
Mr. Elmore Thiel has pur-
chased the 120.a c r e farm,
known as the Holtz farm, near
Blake, from Mr. J. C. Reid, of
near Varna. The consideration
was in the neighborhood of
$7,000, and Mr. Thiel gets pos-
session at once,
Mr, Jacob Quackenbush and
family have moved onto the
farm vacated by Mr. John
Meyer, which he recently pur-
chased from Mr. Meyer,
The final game of the check-
er tournament between W. H.
Hoffman and Harry Yungblut
was won by the former, al-
though not before a strenuous
battle. Five full games had to
be played before the champion-
ship was decided. Mr. Hoff-
man therefore holds the prize
for the first contest.

motored to Sarnia to visit Mr.

that city were Mr. and Mrs.
Richard Jeffrey, Mr. and Mrs.
Noel Laporte 'and Mrs, Jose-
phine Ducharme, all of this

Mr. and Mrs. Avila Ducharme
and family, of this highway,
south, moved into their new
house, built across the laneway
from their old one during the
winter months. The house is
modernized with the last equip-
ment to give the family com-
fort. When leaving the old
home, a house built of logs,
perhaps, being built in the last
century, it housed many fam-
ilies at different times and to-
day how much longer the old
land mark will be visible to
the passer-by will depend on
authority.
We are about to witness the
dying month of March, which
in years passed was known as
the month of disturbances

blustery weather without notice.
All of this could be caused by
it leaving behind the winter
season and entering into the
spring one. It is hard to fore-
cast the various reasons the
month has for changes. It has
been like this in the past and
perhaps will continue in the
years ahead, This past month
of March could be an exception
from past ones, for during its
stay we had several spring like
days to give us comfort to get
around and for the motorist
who travels in business, the
working people who also travel
to reach their destinations, we
can say that this passing month
was agreeable—in all, let us be
grateful.
Pioneer Days (cont,)
The housewife of that day
was not dressed like the woman
of today, They did not have a
loose morning 'wraperette, a
lunch gown or an afternoon
dress. They had two woven
dresses and as they had to go
into the water to bathe their
clothes as a washing process,
they had to be careful not to
wet their heel -length dresses,
for it was necessary for them
to go knee-deep into the water
and when they had large ar-
ticles such as sehets, they had
to go deeper.
They stood one at each end
of the garment with their bats
hitting right and left until they
thought it clean, then spreading
it on the thick bed of limestone
on the beach, which took only
minutes to dry. They used a
flat stone for pressing as they
had no irons as today. Then
the clothes were bundled and
taken home.
(Continued Next Week)
Of late much has been said
about lights flickering in space
and doubted by those who saw
them, I, yours truly on Thurs-
day evening last, March 24, at
about 8:30 in the evening,
looked to the north and saw
four bright lights about the
size of hydro house lights. First
two of them seemed about two
feet apart and the other two
looked about ten feet apart,
moving quickly above the house
top where they were visible.
