VOTERS' LIST 1945 MUNICIPALITY OF WINGHAM COUNTY OF HURON Notice is hereby given that I have complied with Section 8, of the Vot- ers' List Act and that I have posted up at my office at the Town Hall, Wingham, on the 8th. day of October, 1945, the list of all persons entitled to vote in the said Municipality at Muni- cipal elections and that such list re- mains there for inspection. And I hereby call upon all voters to take immediate proceedings to have any errors or omissions corrected according to law, the last day for appeal being the 30th. day of October. 1945. Dated at Wingham, Ontario, this 8th. day of October, 1945. W. A. GALBRAITH, Clerk of Wingham, PNL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harry J. Boyle I brought Mrs. Phil home an arm- full of roses the other day. It all came about in a rather interesting way. Abbie Simpson lives in the vil- lage. She's what is known as an old maid. Her father used to be a banker in town. He prospered, sold his priv- ate 'bank out and retired, There was a boy who died in the last war and Abbie. She was always a quiet and rather shy girl who never married but seemed content to stay and look after her lather. " When her father died she went on living in the big frame house on the edge of the village. Joe Fitzwilliam stayed on to work as handyman. He looked after one of the churches in town and did odd jobs around the village and had a steady income look- ing after the grounds at the Simpson home and seeing that her wood was split and the ashes taken out. Joe is a good gardener, As they say he al- ways bad a green thumb and his own little cottage always looks neat and trim with a lot of flowers around it. The roses are out now and the Simp- son place always has lots of roses. They have them growing over the front fence and over arbors and there's a whole row of the most beautiful rose bushes you can imagine in the back yard. Coming by there° last Wednesday I just had to stop the car and take a look. I've always been partial to those big red roses and there was plenty of them. I got out of the car and went over to the fence and looked in. Abbie appeared from under an arbor, where she must have been reading, and spoke to me. Abbie is a fragile, little old woman now with a gentle voice. In fact she hasn't changed her appearance very much, for the past twenty years. I told her about ad- miring the roses and she asked me to come in. In the space of twenty min- utes I heard more about the rvarieties of roses than I ever knew existed. 'Abbie . . . well, you should just have heard her talking. Finaly I asked her why she grew so many roses. She didnt' say anything for a little while and then in that quiet voice answered, "Phil, when I was a little girl I was never very 'happy. Mother died and father did his best for me. We were well off and for some reason or other most of the children in the village shyed away from this place. My father was sort of gruff but he meant no harm. I went to visit my aunt one time and it was June. She had a lovely place with roses all over the garden and there were three or four neighbor children that used to come and play with my cousins. We had such wonderful times. Somehow all these years I have associated the roses with those happy times and I . . . well, I guess I grow the roses because of that. It's foolish isn't it." She made me take a great basket- full of the roses home with me, The sight of them now in vases around the rooms makes me feel . . , well, good to look at them and somehow sad too remembering the little, old lonesome woman growing them to recapture possibly what was her greatest time of happiness. THE LEGEND OF THE MAGNET The story is told that many centur- ies ago, a little shepherd lad named Magnes was herding ,his sheep on Mount Ida. Suddenly he became aware that his feet and staff were stuck to the ground. Now all of us have been stuck in the mud, but here there was no mud. The boy stood on bare rock. It seems that he had walk- ed onto a deposit of a mineral which acted like a magnet and attracted the nails in his boots and the iron ferret of his staff. This attractive mineral was called magnetite after ,the shep- herd 'boy. While all magnetite will not act as a magnet and attract iron to it, nevertheless, all magnetite is at- tracted to a magnet. In the Royal Ontario Museum there is an exhibit NATIONAL CLOTHING COLLECTION Stainton Hardware Wife Preservers When hemming by hand, you. can avoid pricking your finger under the hem by wearing a thimble over it Then hold the material to be hemmed over the thim• ble. This gives good protection. of magnetite suspended over some sfnall compasses, each a magnet, showing how the' specimen affects the positions of the contpass needles. This has a practical bearing in the field when unwittingly a prospector, or hunter, walks over'a body of magnet- ite-bearing rock.. His compass no longer points north and if the sun is not shining he may wander for some time, before getting free of the influ- ence of this "attractive" mineral.
