Gibson After a week's illness, Miss Ann Gibson passed away in the hospital at Goderich on Sunday night in her 74th year. She was a native of Goderich Township and a daughter of the late John and Ann Ginn Gibson. Her grandfather was one of the early pioneer settlers of the county and her father was the first whits child. born 'on the Huron Tract. For this reason, when Goderich 'celebrated its centenary, Nliss Gibson was given a place of honor at the unveiling of.. the cairn at Harbor Park in memory of the pioneers of the Huron Tract. Miss Gibson went to Goderich when •she was 11 years of age and had 'lived there ever since. She, was an -active member of St. George Ang- lican church and was a staunch Con- ' n ' ,servative. "She was for many years •presidentof the Goderich Women's •Conservative Association, Miss Gib-" son was the last surviving member of her family,.,.,. Mrs. George Patterson (Passes Suddenly Residents of Blyth and vicinity were shocked on Tuesday morning to learn that Mrs. George Patterson had passed away during the night following a heart attack. Deceased sat outside chatting with Mrs. Thompson, a neighbor until 10 p.m. Feeling the attack coming while, retiring she was able to call a doctor but despite all that could be done she passed away at 11.45. Mrs. Pat-' terson with her husband, was a resi- dent esident of Hullett for many years. Fol- lowing. Mr. Patterson's ` death Mrs. Patterson moved to Blyth where she has since resided. She is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Richard Pratt,:. Lucknow, Mrs. Wm. Creight- on, Blyth, a daughter, Hannah in the States ands Sandy sons, Sa dy and Rob- ert of Hullett. Mrs. John Shortreed, Morris,., and Mrs. Woods, Walton, are sisters. The funeral will be held this, afternoon. Disney Homestead Grows Good Corn Although corn may be flatteni:d in some portions ,of Huron County, it hasn't been bothered on the old Dis- neyhomestead, on the first line of Morris Township, The ferns, now owned by Sandy Melee/en, has corn towering .to a'. height of 10 and in some cases 12 feet. It's rated as among the best corn fields in "Huron County this year. The faun is 'bite' one eleared by, Keppel Disney, grandfather of Walt Disney, creator of Mickey Mouse and animated cartoons. Keppel ,Disney, horn at Hohnesville, was one of 16 children. When he was. 25 years old he married Mary Richardson, an aunt of Peter Gantelona who now lives retired in Goderich. They were married at Hohnesville and after the marriage they journeyed up to Mor- ris Township where they started clearing a home- on the farm ' where Sandy McEwen new lives. The first house was a log one, following that one, a frame house was built which is still, used. Father of Famous Son It was in the log house that Elias Disney was born, the manwho was destined to have such a farrious son. Following a foray into Lambton County when oil was discovered at Oil Springs in 1874, and later in 1879 a try at drilling for oil in Goderich, Kepgel Disney went to Kansas. He was unsuccessful in wheat farming and Iater took up cattleraising,. and he died in 1881. His son, Elias, went on from Kansas to Dakota and from there to Florida, returning at last to Chicago where the famous Walt was born. The Di4ney farm attracts many people, since, it was made public that three generations of Disneys have been residents of Huron county. A strong agitation is on foot to have an invitation sent to Walt Disney to come back and see the place where his fancily lived. It is hoped that Mr. and Mrs. Elias Disney, Walt's father and mother who are living in Holly- wood, will accompany him if he hap- pens to -take advantage of the invita- tion. Another suggestion put forth, is that he be invited during the Old Boys' Reunion which Wingham hopes to hold during 1939. CARS MEET HEAD -,ON ON BROW OF HILL DUNGANNON,—A serious ac- cident was narrowly averted on Tues- day whentwo cars met in head-on collision near the brow of the hill in front of William Caesar's farm on Concession 6, Ashfield. William Me- Clure's car was going west up the hill and was nearing the top when suddenly a car driven by William Mackie, contractor of Mildmay loom- ed over the top of the hill coining east. Botit cars swerved quickly to their respective' right-hand side, but were hot fast enough to avoid hit- ting each other, the left front of each car colliding. Both cars left the road and were considerably damaged in front, the left front wheels on each being broken besides other dam- age. • Traffic Officer Lever, -Jr., in- vestigated the accident. No one was injured. WIRECKING TRUCK NEEDED WHEN HORSE TUMBLES INTO CAR GREASING PIT This horse's owner is wondering if Dobbin was trying td go in for mod- ernization or what. The geegee, be- longing to Norman Hawthorne, a fanner on the Grand River road, near Caledonia, evidently felt it was not getting the same attention as the motor' car. In any event it in- vestigated a greasing pit used for greasing cars in the driveshed and fell in. The owner, perplexed over the problem of extricating Dobbin, E,inally had recourse to a local gar- age and a wrecking truck was used to' haul the by this time sorry nag from its. uncomfortable position.

Master Willis Glover of Detroit is Bruce Farmers` Junk Pool' Is Proving Profitable WING -HAM, Aug. 31.—The strong, est story of co-operatives of the year was /related here yesterday by a Bruce County farmerr, who is s the :o ,. ganizer of a "junk" pool. Along with several of his fanner neighbors they: began to collect junk and scrap iron that naturally aceumulates and, waited until they had a load. A. truck was hired and the load of junk was taken to Toronto. Down there they sold the entire load, and after: expenses were paid they had $10.00, clear apiece. "After all," explains the organ- izer, "if these fellows who are so holidaying at the home of his uncle, anxious to gather up junk can make Willis Mountain, and with his aunt, money at it, we couldn't see any Mrs. Robt.

Bruce Farmers Consider Credit Union Scheme Bruce County farmers are hoping to establish a credit union co-operat- ive this fall and to follow it up with others if the initial effort works out successfully. The farmers, who are contemplat- ing the step, are not rushing into it without premeditation and thought, however. Every Tuesday evening of last winter, a group of from thirty to forty young farmers, with their wives, gathered at Port Elgin for a discussion club to thresh out prob- lems of the proposed plan. In. other parts of Bruce, and up in the tip of Bruce Peninsula ,similar groups were meeting with literature and in- formation suplied by the Extension but every dollar counts on a farm these days." Farmers of the district state that there are more sten on the road gathering scrap iron this year than ever' before. They seem to want everything with the least bit of met- al in -it, and they are paying slightly higher prices this year than ever. be- fore. Car batteries are selling at from 35 to 50 cents. 1 All farmers queried to -clay on the subject of the "junk -pool" were of -the opinion that it was on excel- lent idea. 1 "It would be one -way of getting value. The majority of these fellows )gathering junk just come along and say "I'll give you 50 cents for that pile of iron and scrap." A .person is glad to get rid of it and tells them to go ahead. I believe that's where they make their money." Blue Water Bridge Opening 1 With Date Not Set the Blue Water Bridge rap- idly nearing completion and expected to be ready for traffic in two weoks, no date has been set for the official opening. Delay is believed due to the difficulty in choice of a date that is convenient to both President Roose- velt and Premier King. Painting of the bridge is almost completed and finish of the Govern- ment buildings on the Canadian plaza lis likely to be the last stage of operations, ® The wise buyer rides on Goodyear's "G.3"not just be- cause more people ride on - Goodyear Tires than on any other kind . . but because the "G-3" gives him more mileage for his tire dollar at no extra cost . .. greater . protection against skids in all directions . . the best protection against blowouts - built into any tire!
