He had the honor of being rawarded first prize for best decoratec -car in the menchants' class in the big -parade. Since returning home we swere shocked ta learn that Percyz 9father, who was elected Mayor ai 1Owen Sound this year and who filled -the office with dignity and general 1acceptance, bad passed away after a week's illness fromn the effects of an 1operation. We were sorry ta miss seeing Mrs. W. J. Ward, (nee Millie Grigg, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Grigg of Bowmanville>, whose husband is one of the Ieading grocers in the City. As a new acquaintance and a Bow- manville boy we were glad ta meet far the first tîme Dr. Percy Feild, who bas a lucrative dental practice, bis office being located in the Royal Bank building on one of the min business corners. Recent years for diversion and recreatian Dr. Feild sits at the council board in the capac- ity of an alderman.

In aur conversa-ý tion many reminiscences and persans about tawn back in the 80s were ne- called. One incident -Percy had vivid recollections of was on one occasion wben h.e was spending the night with Morley Cawker, bis sister Allie (Mrs. F. C. Vanstone) put thistles in their bed. Percy is a son of the late Richard Feild wha lived in the bouse naw owned and accupied by Mn. Neil Yellowlees, Centre St. While the celebratian was at its height on the final night when a reai mardi gras and masquerade was in full swing we chanced ta meet Mr. and Mrs. Archie Hayward, and daughter (wbo was born in Bowman- ville) and their 5 year aId twin sons. Mr. Hayward will be nemembered as an employee witb A. W. Pickard here and afterwards went overseas with the 235th Battalion as a bandsman. After seeing so many Bowmanville folks we felt there was still another aId boy we should caîl on before caming home. After several in- quiries and with some difficulty we located that venerable citizen, Samn Mitchell, who i. still hale, hearty and active at 80 years of age (last Christmas day) and carrying on bis trade of upholstering in that part of the city known as Brook. For.an baur we sat in Sam's garden talking over aId times. He asked aIl sorts of questions about the town and its natives, many of whom I had ta in- form hlm had passed on.
