REEVE McKIBBON
IS MUCH BETTER
We are pleased to report that
Reeve- McKibbon, who had the rnis-
fortune to break two ribs two weeks
ago, which confined him to the Hos-
pital in Walkerton for, a week and
also to his home here for the greater
part of last week, is showing mark-
ed improvement and is able to be
about again as usual.
You Can't Beat This
Playing a game of cribbage at his
garage on Tuesday evening "Bill"
Bro-wn held a perfect cribbageThand.
He held the jack of clubs and three
fives and the five of clubs turned up.
This gave him the highest possible
cribbage hand tof 29. This is the sec-
ond petfeet cribbage hand "Bill" has
held this winter.
Sap Slow in Starting This Year
.Most of the farmers that have sug-
ar bushes, tapped their trees the lat-
ter part of last week, but some were
ready for the sap to run previous ev-
en to that, but lip to Wednesday very
little sap has been collected. How-
ever, even though the 'collecting of
the sap is much later than last year
a good run can be obtained if weath-
er conditions are good for this pur-
pose.
Freak Pig Born
A freak of nature was brought to
light Monday at the farm of James
McMillan, of the second. of Minto,
one and one-half miles east of Palm-
erston. On going to the barn to take
care of a litter. of pigs which had
just arrived, he noticed an odd-look-
ing fellow among the group. After a
close inspection he discovered the pig
to have a trunk and ears like an ele-
phant, It also had one tooth which
protruded out of the top of its iriouth
and. a horn on the top of its upper
lip similar to that of a wild hog, The
fieak lived only a few minutes.
PREMIER HENRY
TO CARRY ON
Rumors late last week were set at
rest when Premier Henry sta.ted that
he would carry on as head of the
Government at Queen's Park, Toron-
to, The Premier has not been in

ed the rumor. He is, however, for
the present, giving his cabinet min-
isters .more to do and will, after the
close ,pf the Hotise take a holiday kr
three weeks by which timele ,expects
his health will be much better and he
will be able to carry on as usual,,

erals, 4;1,yo :warned their followers to

WOMEN'S AUXILIARY
DONATION TEA
The Woman's Auxiliary of St.
Paul's Anglican Church held their
annual donation tea on Monday af-
ternoon in the school moth' of the
church, which was well attended b
the ladies of the congregation.
A- dainty lunch was served and the
tables wei'e prettily decorated with
posies of bsight colored flowers. A
short program of vocal and instru-
mental numbers was enjoyed. A lib-
eral donation in cash was received.
_1The tickets on the pretty child's quilt
, embroidered by the ladies 8'i the Al-
_ tar Guild was dra.iirn blY little Ann
d Brackenbury, Mrs. Wee Lee being
h the lucky winner.
Montreal—The expression "carry-
ing coals to Newcastle" has found ,a
counterpart in Canada in "carrying
ice to Churchill," according to the
Canadian National Railways, which
has conveyed trainloads of ice to that
port over the snow-covered line of
the Hudson Bay Railway. The ice ,is
being placed in large blocks in in-
sulated buildings aad will be used
in summer in the dining cars of trains
to Churchill and at points on the line.
Ice cut on inland lakes has been car-
ried. to Churchill because it was found
more economical to do so than to
send men to the port to cut ice there.
British Buying More Cars
Belief in many quarters that 1933
will see increased buying of motor
cars, both in .Canada and abroad, is
supported by optimistic figures Of
sales activity, especially in Great Bri-
tt:in. ' One motor authority in Bri-
tain' estimates the sales in Great 13ri-
tain and Ireland this year will be at
least 1'75,000, which would be a new
high record. The best previous year
was 1929, when 165,516 new cars
were registered On Great Britain al-
one). During 1932, the total number
of new cars registered in Great Bri-
tain and Northern Ireland was 156,-
030, and there seems every, prospect
of the record figere of 1929 being
beaten in 1933. A corresporicling up-
turn in Canadian car sales is looked
for, the manufacturers being encour-
aged by the trend of the first quar-
ter.

Senate of Canada
A senator is appointed by "gover-
nor -general -in -council", that is, by
the government. He remains a mem-
ber of the Senate as long as he lives,
unless he resigns, stays away from
parliament for two elessions together,
leaves Canada and. becomes a citizen
of a foreign country, or goes to re-
side in a province other than the one
for which he has been appointed. Be-
fore he can be appointed he must be
30 years of age, be a Brtish subject;
be worth at least $4,000, and live in
the province for which he has been
appointed. The sessional indeinnity is
$4,000. The Senate has the same
right of legislation except in one im-
portant matter, but usually it does
not try to do much work beyond ac-
cepting after more or less discussion
and amendment the bills already
passed by the House of Commons.
