' Messrs. D. H. Church'and J. S. Armstrong two of Orillia's promin- ent and leading citizens were in town on Tuesday last and during their somewhat short sojourn they made THe OBSERVER a very pleas- ant and interesting call. They are proud of the place from which they eminate, and during their conversation they inadvertently made reference to the bright prose pects in store for mechanics and others owing to the fact that many of their manufacturers are already increasing work to almost full time. The town has a live committee of the wives and famifies: that are on their way to'the hostili- ties in France. To give some idea of the generosity of thd people of Orillia, this committee, in one afternoon, raised the handsome sum of fifty-five hundred dollars ($5,500.00). The committee is of the right stamp and 'dre determined that all families who are deprived of support owing tothe absence of its head at the war shall have ample provision made, one family receives no less than $80 a month during his absence. Messrs. Churgh: and Armstrong's sojourn here. al- though "somewhat limited - were delighted with Port Perry," and a member 'of Tx. OpskrvEr staff showed them - theough the town which was much appreciated by the Orillia gentlemen.
