War Record.
BORN IN McKILLOP
The Wiecidetock Sentinel -Review, in
a recent issue, refers to the record
of Bernie James Dorrance, recently
elected to -the Saskatchewan Legisla-
ture, and a son of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph. Ilhorrance, of McKillop.
It says':
Of fifty-five members in the new
Legislature of •Saskatchewam, about
ten per cent. are natives of that
province. Three others were born in
Huron, three in Bruce, seven in other
parte of •Ontaria a half-dozen each
in England, Scotland and' the United
States, one lin 'Russia, etc., To the
deliberationst of tht—eighth-Assembly
its members evidently bring a wide
range o experienlce and viewpaint.
These observations, following a teeta-
Care perusal of the Parliamentary
Guide, 1935, are merely preliminary
to announcement :that after nearly
seventeen year we have located the
late. Intelligence Officer of the 1st
Canadian. Infantry Battalion, C.E.F.

inalember or Tisdiale, having defeated
Bon. W. C. Suckle and J. B. Ennis

es that he was berm at Seaforth, Ont.,
in 1893; and educated at No. 2 school,
McKillop townshiip. He is a farmer,
address Carragana, Sask.; "served 42
months in the C.E.F. during the Great.
War, was in 23 of the 'Canadian bat-
tles ; awarded Military Medal and

Frorn Army Form B.103, brought
to light after some search, this in-
formtion may be 'augmented. Priv-
ate Dernance enlisted September 22,
1914, and on 'Aipeil 26, 1915, left
France temporarily on account of a
gunshot wound in the thigh. Front

Hospital Aid
Asks For Books
The regular -monthly meeting of
the Women's Hospital Aid Associa-
tion was held on Thursday afternoon
in Carnegie Hall, with the president,
Mrs. K. M. McLean, occupying the
chair.
Routine business was transacted,
and there was considerable discussion
on future activities for the year.
The treasurer, Mrs. E. H. Close,
reported that nearly seventy dollars
had been, raised by the three bridge
parties held this winter, and the or-
ganization 'hereby wishes to express
its thanks to the public for their
patronage of these events.
It was decided to endeavour to
establish a • small circulating library
in the Hospital for the use of patients
and to appeal to the citizens for their
assistance. Will anyone having used
fiction, either for adults or children,
which they would donate to the hos-
pital library, kindly notify the secre-
tary, Miss G. Appleyard, or books
may lye left at the home of Mrs. W.
C. Sprortt.
. •Con,tributions of clean old cotton
are still urgently needed at the hos-
pital for use in plasters.
Women Got Up at Five a.m.;

A Great Deal of Work and
Labor Was Involved in
Cutting a n d Drawing
Cordwood.
•with pitch holes but nevertheless we
just went on through them. It was
quite common 'to upset and break the
sleighs and earn.ess, but we always
got lota of help, as nearly everybo•dry
was drawing wood or logs. I have
counted forty teams, one behrind,the
other, at one time. You ask where
all the wood went, but it was all
burnt at th'e salt works in Seaforth
—thousands and thousands of cords.
The teamsters used to have their
mirhaps and accidents, toe. A horse
would get his leg broken. or one
would just he down—never to get up
again, but th'e teamster wouldn't
quit. He could get a new horse and
go at it again. I remember the gen-
ial ol.d edritor of The Expositor, Mr.
M. Y. McLean used to sympathize
with the tealmisters in their accidents
and losses and gave encouragement
to keep on going and gave praise
when they, out.
(and y can't ;help but look batk),
When oolc back on those old days
I see rwith regret that the strong,
hardy men are nearly all away that
were here at that time. .Bett they
left a heritage of Scotch, and Lash,
and English blood in the veins of
those that are left to carry on the
work they so willingly did.
There is a Scottish poem written
years ago in which an old Scotchman
getting up in years, one morning not
feeling very well, says to hi4 dear
partner, Jean:
I'm wearin' awa', Jean,
Like snow wreaths in thaw, Jean,
Pert wearin' awa' to the land o' the
leal.
There's nae sorrow there, Jean,
There's neither could nor care, Jean,
Tile day is aye fair in the land o' the
leal.
Np doubt th'e old rSeettieh lady
would make a fitting reply and say
isomething tot help mid cheer him on
his way.
(By Melvin J. Blanchard)
"'Hee, Hool Jump up, boys, and
get the horses fed. We've got to
gei that pile of wood outland 'Ilia
pitch holes are pretty bad, and it will
be noon before you get out to the
salt block," were but a few of the
sayings that used to be called up the
stair by the fathers of long ago. As
dt might be of interest to the readers
of The Expositor and also to the
young imen of to -day, I will briefly
gilvie a short story of this work that
was done long ago.
Getting two 'or three hundred cords
of wood cut and piled up and ready
to draw the, next winter was quite a
taak. However, there were lots of
good men in those days and all could
handle an axe and endure hard work
all day long. I remember my bro-
ther and I cut one hundred and fifty
coeds for Dr. Goninlock in the swamp
south of Winrbhrop for the enormous
sum of sixty -cents a cord. We car-
ried ourdinner and ate it in the
oods. -
w
The drawing of the wood was the
hardest task for the horses and a
long, long day for all concerned. The
women had to keep the home fires
burning and have a good hot supper
ready and were up in the morning at
five to , get the breakfast. It was
necessary to keep the frying pan full
of meat, pots full of potatoere to eet
bread -every other night. They stay-
ed at hernia and wry willingly

The Juniors made their initial ap-

outplayed and outscored the St.

was rather slow with the locals get-
ting two goals. Leppard scored both
counters, the first on a beautiful lone
rush and the second on a relay pass
from Bell and Carter. The St. Marys.
team showed much individual play,
which wasn't very effective against
Sills and Boshart on defence.
The visitors scored the only goal

(Continued on Page 4)
In his report to the policyholders,
Mr. Reid said in part:
"Last year when I presented my
first, report as 'Secretary -Treasurer
of your Company, it was with a
considerable degree of satisfaction,
feeling that your Company had had
a fairly successful year.
"In 1934 I believe your Company
has progressed rapidly. It is the aim
of all Fire Insurance Companies to
reduce their fire losses. In this, your
Company b.as been highly successful
and so has built up a substantial in-
crease in casb surplus.
"Your fire losses this year have
possibly set a precedent in that you
have not suffered one barn loss. Sure-
ly this is an achievement and some-
thing to be proud of. However, it
raises the question: Why each a ma-
terial reduction? Is it a true sign of
improved conditions with the agri-
culturist, or is it an answer to my
question of last year: "Can unknown
fire losses be controlled?" My an-
swer was "Yes," and I asked the pol-
icyholders to co-operate with their
Directors and report any over -insur-
ance or other hazardous phases.
"The cash assets of your Company
have been increased by some $15,-
08:3:68 and gyolic3rh.olders' surplus by
$31,405.40. This, to me, is .a very
marked improvement in the financial
structure of your company and with
continued improvement should soon
warrant an authorization fro -m the
Department of Insurance reducing
your n surance cost.
'I would again like to explain two
or three clauses of your application
and which is compulsory under the
Insurance Act: lst--Your applica-
tion allows only two-thitels of insur-
ance to be placed on buildings, dwel-
ling contents, tenant's produce and
implements, or, in other words, pro-
perty worth $3,000 should carry only

Chief is Questioned
Chief Helmer Snell Was present at
the Meeting' as requested by council
and answered a long series of ques-
tions by the -ftnemibers.
The questions revolved about ahcar
allegedly parked opposite the Fire
Hall door; about the Chief spending
too long at dances, shows and the
rink; about a man who was charged
with not reporting an accident but
who claimed he could not find the
Chief; about a fracas which occurred
in a local restaurant some time ago
and as a_result of which a man was
convicted of being drunk in a P'ublic
place; and, finally, about a horse that
had been left outside one night dur-
ing sub -zero weather.
Chief !Snell answered each question
(apparent* to the satisfactien, Of
council for no action was taken.
"They bawl you out for doing your
duty. Mx. Snell has been doing what
he thought was his duty," "commented
Mayor Sutherland.
"Mr. Snell does his duty all right,"
agreed Reeve Crosier.
"Do we have to supply police for
dances and the rink?" asked Coun-
cillor' Hudson. "I think it is his
duty," answered the Mayor.
"Yes, to go in for five minutes and
,uonve, outt—not 10 stay' corrected
Councillor Hudson.'
Clerk Wilson explained there were
no duties set out, but that ,it was the
policeman's privilege to enter any
place of amusetment.
"I ran the rink for a good many
years and I never saw -a policeman
there," stated Councillor Johnstone.

the committee, and the relief report

The committee in charge- of local ar-

Downey, Mona F. McGregor and Eve-

The regular weekly meeting of the
Y. 1'. S. was held in First Presby-
terian Cihurch Monday with a good
attendance. Miss Margaret Drover
presided. After the devotional ex-
ercises, the president, 11. Glenn Hays,
took charge and the pastor, Rev. H.
C. Feast, gave an entertaining talk
on "Student Days in Scotland," when
he attended Glasgow University. He
told some humorous incidents of stud-
ent life and also of the privations en-
dured by some of them, to acquire
an education, and refereed to the
kindly relation's between the profes-
sors 'before whom the divinity stud-
ents had to read their sermons. No-
thing, he said, can exceed the court-
esy extended to a student in a Scet-
tisth manse, and the hospitality was
just overwhelming. In most of the
Scottish churches they have three
services a day and no organ or hymn
books, just a „precentor. The Elders
are stationed et the door with •a col-
lection plate. They don't think in
terms of silver but in pennies and
half -pennies. He spoke of St.

White, Dr. Black and Dr. Parker.

a moment our hon. friends opposite
will sagest that we on this side are •
not'in fairour of empire trade, nor do
I believe they will suggest that had
the Liberal party been returned to ';•
power in 1930, we would not have
had empire trade egeeements effect-
ed; I do not think that is the con- •
tention. I would like to point out
that in 1930'the Prime Minister (Mr.
Bennett) certainly did succeed
tmaking the 'Canadian people believe
he had definite plans and policies .
Which, if put into effect in this coun-
try, would solve all our ,probleales, `•-•Af.
th --Markets would be secured for
o r basic prqdru•cts and prices for '
those products would be inereaseci.
Netwit'hetandieg what the hon. mem-
ber for Compton (Mr. Gobeil) has.
said, the fact of the matter is that
the Prime •Minister went up and down'
this country telling the people that
prices of all farm conanodities and
other •products would .be increased. I
would like nay hon. friend to -visit the
village of Exeter in imly constituency
and ask the people there what the
Prime Minister had to say about Me
creased prices. Other promises of
the right hon. gentleman may be cit-
ed. For insta.nce, unemployment was
going to be ended, .and as a matter
of fact all our problems were going
to vanish like the melting snows on

changing the tariff .structure of this
country in order to, bring- about these

principles upon which the Conserva-
tive party hoped tobfulfil the many
