The Town Hall had all of whom are life members of the association, President Waugh suggested that the association might have bigger efforts to secure exhibitions of fire fighting apparatus at future meetings and also advised having the members of the more important committees come from a compact district, In this way, he pointed out, travelling expenses would be somewhat reduced and full commit: tee meetings would be more assured. ' Another recommendation advanced by the president was that all hose couplings be standardized so that neighboring companies may furnish the maximum of assistance at fires in other towns where they may be rend- ering help, During his address Mr, Waugh also referred to the formation of Volunteer Firemen's Associations in various parts of the province, There was a tendency to join these smaller anteed the firemen a good time if they should go there. A letter was also associations and then to work inde- pendently of the hig Provincial body, but the president trusted that all these local organizations might be induced to link up with_the present body in a provincial assdeiation.

Mayor Extends Welcome Mayor John Stacey was the official of (representative of the town in extend- ing to the firemen a welcome to Oshawa, and at the conclusion of his address he presented to President J. Waugh a four foot gilded key, symbo- lical of the freedom of the town, which | he extended to all the members of the association present at the convention. In opening his remarks the mayor | |ciation to held its next annual conven- also asked the delegates to endeavor to secure the support of the residents of the municipalities they represent in getting rid of small piles of inflam- mable rubbish that are often gathered up and left, These are often set on fire by cigar and cigarette smokers and if they could be abolished fires would be less frequent, Burlington After Convention Among the communications read by | the secretary, Mr. W. J. Armstrong, | West Toronto, was a telegram from Mayor J. J. Hobson, of Burlington, who on behalf of the Town Council and the town of Burlington, invited the asso- read from D, H. Lamb, Toronto, sec- retary of the Provincial Federation of Ontario Fire Fighters (Permanent) expressing the good wishes of that organization towards the body of vol- unteer firemen. in session here. These communications were tabled for the time being. The report of the executive commit- tee was presented by Mr. W. J. Arm- strong, the report showing that the committee had held four meetings dur- ing the year, three of which occurred at Hamilton and one in Oshawa, the latter taking place yesterday morning. The work handled was principally de- tail matter connected with the conven- tion held last year at Weston and the convention now being held in Oshawa. The report of the Printing Committee was also read by Mr. Armstrong and the accounts itemized therein were ordered paid. Secretary Armstrong also presented a partial report which will be concluded at a later date in the convention sittings. In the course of this it was announced that Fire Marshal E. P, Heaton, of Toronto, would address the delegates, on Tues- day. Mr. Armstrong also stated that "the association never was in a better condition for doing good than fit is at the present time." Since the conven- tion held in Weston last year several members of the association have pass- ed away, these being John G, H. Horey Merritton, the first secretary of the association; P, G. Savage, Richmond Hill, and T. Jocelyn, Burlington, both of whom were life members; Charles Reynolds, Markham; Fred Kilgour, Wm. Vient, Frank Stewart and James Findlay all of Hamilton, and Howard McPhail, Kincardine. The following new brigades have all paid their mem- bership dues:--Markham, Hanover, Campbellford, Whitby, Bowmanville and the General Motors Brigade, of tion in that place, The mayor guar- Oshawa, stated that the firemen are a J ry | body of men in any town, be it large or | small. Many times, however, they do | not get all the credit due them, con- | tinued his worship. As an example of the importance of the fire fighters to a community the mayor pointed out how the municipalities of the province have entrusted millions of dollars' | worth of fire apparatus to these men who have the supervision of millions of dollars of property as their immedi- ate care, { The mayor also called on various members of the Town Council to ad- dress the convention delegates, short speeches being delivered by Reeve George Morris, Councillor W. J. Trick, and Councillor R. D. Preston. Reeve Morris, in referring to the Oshawa brigade, characterized them as "as fine a bunch of firemen as any town ever gathered together: In the five years I have been in the council there has been absolutely no dissension or dis- union in their ranks and when they come to the council for support at 2ny time they usually leave with it." President Waugh upon receiving the key from Mayor Stacey replied with a few fitting words on behalf of the association. A partial report of the credentials committee was presented by Mr. A.

The La- Musical Comedy By Local Talent A musical comedy under the aus- pices of the local branch of the G.W. V.A. Ladies Auxiliary, is being play ed at The Martin Theatre during the Firemen's Convention. Those tak- ing part in the play are local art- ists and amateurs but they carry out the acts in a delightful manner. "The Town Follies and Marie" is full of humor and Abe, the great Jewish comedian, is the funniést of them all. Those who saw them last evening were more than with the entertainment.
