We know it is given to comparatively few to live as man and wife for fifty years.

"Nothing we can offer can ever re- pay a good father's and mother's bounteous gifts for so many years, and so we ask you to accept this lit- tle gift, hot for its value, but because it symbolizes our affection, ten love and pride in a father and mother, bus - band and wife, for half a century, and whom we trust and pray God will leave witila us for many years to come. —Your Loving Ohildren."

Local Officer Goes to Brockville 11 11, (By Eric McVeity In -the Toronto Globe and Mail) Because of a lack of knowledge on the part of the Federal Goverment scores of tons of Dutch Sett °alone, representing some $8,000 in seed and labor value, Me rotting in intehes around here. In one case' a well 25 feet deep has been filled with last year's crap aud left to deeay. , Local growers and warehouses were seeking a way to abandon their stored of onions because the home market wee flooded with over 190tons of Dutch Sett onions, the trhtrplus crop of the United States mines districts, growers say. Such is the plight of this 450 square reale district, regard- ed as tbe taost productive onion growing land in Ontario. • Blame Governmeiet All this hns beert brought about, the growers say,: because -the Federal Government last year lifted the dump- ing duty on United States onions. In lifting the tariff, those •responsible failed to realize that the "Unit- ed. States crops were oee to two menthe ahead of the Ontario crops and that there was a difference be- tween Dutch, Sett onions and the com- mercial onion. Such is the conten- tion of growers who were interview- ed in the district. The Federal Customs officials are examining reporte from Hensall that farmers are suffering severely from an opion influx from the United States, partioularly Dutch, Setts. So far as is known. at present no pre- vious complaint has been received nor hasthere been any demand fer the impositions of the dump duty against Dutch Setts. It was put on in 1931, but taken off the same day and'there has never been any demand for it since. The valuation or duty pur- poses was placed on onions on June 28th this year for Ontario and Que- bec, for Manitoba and Mg West, July 12th, and it went into effect August 16th in the Maritime Provinces. It applies generally to commercial on- ions, the dates being set to meet cli- matic andproduction seasons in tile three areas. It costs in the neighborhood of 4 cents a pound to produce Dutch Setts, say growers. This price allows only a margin sufficient to take care of leer- ed labor, yet because of the flooding of the market by the United States growers prices weat down to 1 eent a pound and as is evidenced by the mounds of rotting onions. it was im- possible to give them away. According to Fred W. Smallacconbe of Hensall, who is regarded as the "father of the onion growing indus- try" here, the authorities failed to specify. when they lifted the dump- ing duty, what type of onion should be exempt, but included all types of onions. The importation of the large commercial onion would not have ser- iously affected the home market, but when no protection was afforded the Dutch Sett, a small onion like a large marble used for green onions and seed for the large onion, the bottom fell out of the home market. Forced to Compete By the time the United States grow- ers have harveeted and marketed their crops, the Ontario crop li are about ready for harvesting, stated Mr. Smallacombe. This means that un- less the grower is under contract for his croP he must, now that the dump- ing duty is off, compete with the sur- plus crops of the United States. The United States growers having sup- plisel their own market find that it is best to sell their surplus at any price and, as happened this spring, these were told at 1 to 21/2 cents a pound, while local growers found themselves confronted with labor and seed costs of 3 to 4 bents a pound. T, C. Joynt, local merchant, and grower, stated that to make a profit the grower should realize 7 to 8 cents a pound for Dutch Setts in the spring after storing them all winter, or at least 5 cents a pound in the fall when they are harveeted. Unless a pro- tective tariff is put on imported Dutch Setts the growers of the Hensall dis- trict stand to lose tons and tonS again, and must abandoe the growing of Dutch Setts, altogether. Price Tumbles Twenty years ago, remarked Fred Smallacom.be, be had 200 growers un- der contract fora large seed littuse. The growers were paid 4., cents a pound for theft Dutch Settseyet today with ptices Varying from 1 to 21/2 cents a pound, there is no difference In the retail price of tbe onions. ' Just what the onion crop means to the growers of this district may be realized from the fact that nearly ev- ery farmer in this 450 -square -mile dis- trict grows from one to ten tons of onions. To many the onion crop is the main crop, andunless they are under contraet to some large seed house they, must sell on the <men market.

Heading a group of associates are John F. Daly, Seafertla, arid William Forrest, Goderich. It was they who signed a contract with Jackson and McKillop, of Dunnville, for the drill- ing of the Hidden Lake Oil Well. Work Will commence immediately, Mr.. Daly told The Expositor, and equipment is expected on the property on Thursday of this week. The con- tract calls for commencement of the drilling by September. It is expect - •ed the drilling will take about two months. Oil has long been. believed to ex- ist in commercial quantities 'in 'Hur- on and as early as 1866 a company drilled a well at Goderich. The God- erich Petroleum Co., as it was known, however found ealt and abandoned the search for oil. In 1876 drillers went to 1,239 feet at Stapleton, east of Clinton, when salt was encountered. Similar condi- tions were found at other centres :n the county. As far as can be found from records available, the deepest bole drilled in the county is 1,315 feet. Every indication points to there be- ing oil below the salt deposit, Mr. Daly said, ad for this reason he and his associates are 'prepared to drill to a ranch greater depth than has previously been done. A peculiar situation was disclosed when lawyers searching the title ,to the Mann farm found that the Can- ada Company had retained oil rights "when they geld the tame The por- 'Con upon which drilling is being done is not, however, included in this re- stricted area. • • Fire Destroys a Varna Residence Fire completely destroyed .he ;Jesse residence on the farm of Mr. Warner, neer Varna, on Friday at onn. The Dennison residerice, some 60 rods away, was only saved by the quick wo-k of the firemen. Threshers working on the Warner farm started a fire when they came in for dinner and were in the yard when fire was first noticed. The build• ing, a frame one, was soon a mass of flames and despite the splendid NVO1 of the Brucefield fire brigade, could not be saved.

On Saturday evening last cars driv- en by Dr. Ross, dentist of London, and _- Albert Shirray, of Tay To3.vnehip, re- Pectively, collided on High -way No. 4, opposite Dr. Moir' s farm, a mile south of Hensall. Dr. Ross, travelling On :his way to Lion's Head, apparently failed to see a team and wagon with- out a light, that was coming home from stook threshing for a neighbor and bad only a few rods to go on the highway. To prevent hitting the wagon, Dr. •Ross jammed on the brakes, while swerving to tbe left and when about 15 or 20 yards from the wagon hit the Shirray car almost head on. Dr. Ross had his lights dimmed out of courtesy to the oncoming car and this, added to the difficulty of seeing the wagon ahead sooner. Both cars were badly damaged. Dr. Ross received a fracture of this knee cap and Mr. Shirray a cracked toe. The team was driven.bY Frank Forrest and belonged to Dr. Moir. Traffic Officer William Robinson in- vestigated and laid charges against Forrest for not having a light,' and against Dr. Ross for reckless driving. When aecar driven by Wm.
