TILLSON Resident Manager The severe ice storm last week was responsible for Tillsonburg being in darkness on Friday night, and without power for a day and a half. Candles and lamps were very much in demand on Saturday, and the stocks of the merchants were exhausted before the demands were met. The News office was tied up during the dark period, as both presses and lintotypes are operat­ ed by electricity, and the factories that depended on hydro for their power were forced to shut down. House­ wives, too, who were depending on electricity for their cooking were at their wits end to provide the neces­sary meals, it was with a great sigh of satisfaction that the welcome lights were again seen on Saturday night at 6 o'clock. New Show Room* Completed Used Cars Mr. J. E. Stedelbauer, who has taken the agency for several lines of cars manufactured by General Motors of Canada, Limited, has enlarged and re­modeled the rooms on Oxford street which were used in connection with the former Ford garage. The rtbmi are now more commodious and present an attractive and up-to-date appear­ance. Mr. Stedelbauer has also pur­ chased a building tot on Baldwin street, adjoining J. S. Kellam’s residence, and will erect a modern residence thereon in the spring. The frame building that was on the tot has been removed to Rolph street, where Mr. J. W.

There were also mixed and male quartettes, and duets by Miss Robert­ son and Mrs. Brady, and Miss Rob­ ertson and Mrs. McGuire.

Concert Despite Storm In spite of the heavy storm ’that prevailed, and the lack of hydro, the annual Sunday school concert was held in St. Pauls church last Friday night. Numerous candles and lamps were brought into service, reminding the senior members of the large audi­ ence assembled of olden times, when the electric light was unknown. The program was of a miscellaneous character and proved most enjoyable. The concluding number was especially fine, consistng of a flag drill, given by intermediate and senior members of the GG.LT. groups. Miss Vivian Ellis impersonated "Miss Canada," and Miss Grace Scott, as "Christianity." with British and the other Christian flags crossed, took the salute as the girls concluded the G G.

H At the conclusion of the programme the Christmas tree was unloaded by­Santa Claus, and each child received a remembrance. Born The death of Mr. Wm. E Brown, which occurred suddenly at the Union station, Toronto, on Tuesday of last week, came as a great shock to his family and many friend* in the town and district. After making a short visit to each member of hi* family in this part of Ontario, "he went to Toronto and spent a week with his son, W. A., of the Brown Sports Goods and Cycle Store. He appeared in excellent health and enjoyed the activity of the city during hi* stay.On Tuesday he decided to continue his journey to Sayre, Pa., where he intended to spend the winter with his daughter, Mrs. Hawk. • He was driven to the station by a friend about 5J0 o’clock in the evening, the driver re­ turning uptown, Mr. Brown telling him that there was no necessity for him to remain until the train left. A few minutes later, just a* Mr. Brown was about to board the train, he expired. A doctor was in immediate attendance but could do nothing, and pronounced death a* due to heart trouble. Mr. Brown had his home address on hi* person and the authorities in Toronto telephoned to Tillsonburg in an effort to identify him. The rural lines were not working well, owing to the storm that prevailed, and they failed to get in touch with relatives here. Identi­ fication was finally procured through a small notebook which Mr. Brown carried in his pocket and which con­tained the address of an acquaintance in the city. It was not until II o’clock that the son in the city and relatives here learned of their father’s death. A number of friend* i* town learned of the occurrence when .the news of the day was broadcast over the radio. Mr. Brown was a son of thejate Mr. and Mr*. Edward Brown, who were among the earliest pioneers of this district. He was born 72 years ago and always lived on the home­ stead in Dereham, near Tillsonburg, which hi* father received from the Crown, and which is now occupied by hi* son Colin. He was well known and very highly respected and his death removes one of the links between the early settlement of this district and the present. His wife, who was Orpah Fergusson, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Fergusson of this town, predeceased him sixteen year*. He is survived by two sons, W. A, of Toronto, and Colin on the homestead, and four daughters, Mr*. W. S. McDonald of this town, Mrs. T. N. Dunn of Inger­ soll, Mr*. Victor Ellis of London, and Mrs. G. W. Hawk of Sayre, Pa., and eleven grandchildren. Owing to the storm which blocked the roads, the funeral was not held at the homestead, as was at first intend­ ed, but took place at the home of deceased * son-in-law. W. S. McDonald of this town, on Friday afternoon and under the auspices of the brethren of King Hiram Lodge, A.F. and AM., of which Mr. Brown was a member. The church services were conducted by Rev. RoSert Bruce, assisted by the Rev. W. H. Dunbar. Mr*. L. G. Little sang very impressively “Beautiful Isle of Somewhere." The interment was in the Tillsonburg cemetery, the Masonic service taking place at the grave, in charge of V. W. Bro. A. E. Kaynes. The pallbearers were brethren of King Hiram Lodge; they were:—Messrs. S. G. Vance, G H. Denton, H. F. Johnston, Dr. H. McQueen, Norman Langrell and James Lowrie. , Many beautiful floral tribute* of affection and sympathy were placed on the casket and banked around it Smith—Miner* A quiet but pretty wedding was solcmiuzcd on Dec. 19th at the resi­ dence of the officiating minister. Rev. H. Williams of the United church, Aylmer, when Eva Laurene, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Miners, Springfield, was united in marriage to J. Truman Smith, eldest son of Mr. and Mr*. G S. Smith, Sparta. The bride was attired in midnight blue crepe satin, with hat and slipper* to match. She was at­ tended by her sister. Miss Winnie Miners. Mr. Wm. Rutherford of Brownsvillf supported the groom. Mr. and Mrs. Smith left by train for a short honeymoon, to be spent in Hamilton and Toronto. On their re­ turn they will reside at Delmer. Treat'for School Children Instead of the usual das* entertain- mente at the public-sehool-lhcJeachcrs pooled their -resources and secured a moving picture as a treat for their pu­ pils. It was originally intended to hold the entertainment on'Friday afternoon, but tlje . absence of hydro made it necessary to postpone it until Monday afternoon, when the pictures were shown at the .White Star Theatre. Needless to say, the children turned out en masse, and spent a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. The picture selected was Grandma's Boy, with Harold Lloyd as the star, which was followed by the comedy, *Our Gang." Some pictures of Buffalo Bill were also shown.

WtaUr C..ffittara According to current report of agri­ cultural representatives, winter condi-. tions have prevailed throughout On­ tario during December. The weather ha. been satisfactory, except that the water supply is low. Poultry prices have proved disappointing generally, at the height of the marketing season. Many sideroads in all parts of the province have been impassable to motor traffic. Suskra. Fre Powluy Hens need sunshine in their poultry ration, especially during the winter months, when the sun shines but little. Sunshine in the feed is as important as any one of the other ingredients in a poultry ration. Egg production, health, quality of shell, nutritive value of eggs and hatchabihty arc dependent upon it. Cod liver oil or cod liver meal is the best substitute for the direct rays of the sun. Both are quite rich in the sunlight factor and avail- able at a reasonable price. Cod liver meal* also mppliei liver tissue that helps to build up the blood. The better poultry mashes which you buy already mixed either have cod Ever oil or cod liver meal as one of the ingredients, so you can buy them secure in the knowledge that your flock will get all the sunshine they need in their feed Clipping the cows' thighs and flanks is a big factor in the production of clean milk. The cleaner the cows are kept, the less dust and dirt is likely to get into the milk when being drawn. A good half-day may well be de­ voted at this time to arranging im­ plements and tools properly in the im­ plement shed. Cultivating and seed­ing implements should be left at the front, as they will be the ones first required in the spring. every effort to satisfy this market, upon which they depend so largely. feed layers varies with the different seasons. In winter, when lights are long and cold, hens need more of the heat-lormiog. energy producing scratch grains than in summer. For the next three months about one quart of scratch grains to 122 hens, or 14 pounds to 100 hens should be fed. This should be tupplied an hour before the birds go to roost, so they win have time to clean it up before dark. Do not feed any grain in the mqrning, as the hens are apt to fiD up on h and then win wait for it to digest before eating any mash and obtaining the egg-building material A high-grade mash should be kept before the hens all the time. The more they eat. the more eggs it ordinarily / means. Grit and shell should be hopper fed and drinking srater always available. Supply green feed when you can.

The export demand is reported unususlly low and uncertain, owing to a large visible supply of European and Amer­ ican production. Relatively low prices arc being offered to growers and there is a tendency for them to hold their seed. The report from Toronto early this month was that about 25 to 40 per cent, of the 1929 crop of alsike and about 50 per cent, of the red dover was still tn the growers' hands.

There has not been a corresponding increase in the1 expectation of Hie among adults. The expectation of life at 50 years of -age is not appreciably greater today than it was during the past century.

Ac­ cording to this review, fail wheat was better both in quality and quantity than anticipated. The average over the whole province wai about 40 bushels to the acre. The increased acreage in fall wheat sown this year is about 5 per cent, rather unexpected under weather conditions. Oats thia year yielded about 90 per cent, of an aver­age crop. Barley, though good in quality, was deficient tn quantity. Coen on the whole w>s disappointing. To­bacco told the same story. Potatoes are returned as extra good in quality but only an average crop. Live stock generally is raid to be an rather poor condition: hogs are fewer on . the farm Sheep and lambs are said to hare done better, and are increasing in numbers. Farm implements are certainly deserving of more attention m the fan and winter months than they usually receive. The lifetime of an implement may be prolonged and the amount of power required to operate it s very much lessened by proper care. Most farm implements rust out rather than wear out.

Rev. G C Strachan delivered an in­ spiring Christmas message from Mat­ thew 2:1 and 2, “Behold there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying. Where is he that is born King of the Jews; for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him."

The meeting was in charge of the ' fourth vice-president. Miss Edith James, and Master Charles Clarke presided at the piano. The meeting was opened by singing the hymn, “The Great Physician now is here," after which Rev. G G -Strachan offered prayer. The Scripture lesson, in keeping with Christmastide, from Luke’s Gospel, chapter 2, was read by Mrs, Charlie Smith, after which Cha*. Clarke rendered a piano solo. A num­ber of very fine lantern slide* were then shown, with Mr. Harold Fleming operating the lantern. • The picture* were of “Niagara" and "The Mischiev­ ous Boy," and Mis* Phyllis Pile read descriptive account of each picture as it appeared on the canvas. A* there weer only a small number in attend­ ance these picture* will be shown again next week. Harold Fleming took up the offering and the meeting was then closed by singing the bymn, “Blest Be the Tie That Binds” and the Mu- pah benediction. Christmas was celebrated by the Sundav school of the United church on Friday evening of last week, when they held their annua! Christmas tree and entertainment in the Foresters' Hall. Despite the drifting hail and snow, accompanied by a howling wind, badly drifted-up roads and altogether unfavorable weather conditions, there was a very good crowd in attendance. A* the hydro power was off, a few dim oil lamps were used and the program was proceeded with in the hope that the hydro trouble might be only tem­ porary, as on other occasions. Not­ withstanding the extreme difficulty ol costuming for the different events and the absence of *ome taking part, owing to the severity of the weather, the pro­ gram was voted a success and was much enjoyed by those who braved the clement* to be present. At the close of the program Santa Claus ar­ rived and was given a hearty welcome by old and young, and for some time he was kept busy distributing presents from a pretty Christmas tree. Wha- Christmas would be complete with­ out the Christmas carols. As the opening number on the program, the younger members of the school sang as choruses, "There's a Song in the Air” and “Silent Night." A play en­titled "Aunt Melissa's Money," wa» cleverly done, each part being well given and equally well received. Rev. Strachan in hi* usual capable man­ ner was the chairman for the evening. The pianists for the different musical number* were Mis* Edith James. Miss Mildred Caverhill, Miss Helen Jolliffe and Miss Vera Downing.

Should she marry thi* man who had wooed her so eager­ ly. and give her little sister all the joy and comfort of a home suck as she had never known ? They had had such a fearful itruggle for the most meager existence, never knowing where they would be from sveel to week, thrown about wherever they could find shelter, until little Daisy had faded slowly and .urely before her eye*.
