He is a past pres- ident of the Ontario and Lake- shore Firefighters assns. "It's a far cry from the early days," he recalled Monday night. "The old equipment was really something, as compared with our present setup. At my first fires, we pulled the reel ourselves, in- stéad of riding on it.

Noticing a man approaching the green who. seemed unfamiliar with the procedure for obtain- ing a visitor's ticket, Mr. Rose offered to assist him. In the con- versation 'which followed, the stranger revealed himself as a fellow-officer of Mr. Rose's in World War 1, whom he had not seen since August 1918. His name was P. T. Rowland, a Sault Ste.

Oakville District residents visit the Queen Mary Carpet display, which is being, conducted tomorrow by both chapters of the 1.0.D.E. in Stirling-Dynes showroom, there is, we believe a most important thought that should be borne in mind. Queen Mary spent many years in the preparation of this beautiful rug, and they were years at the end of a long life of service to her country. When she had completed her master- plece it did not enter her mind to keep it for her own enjoy- ment. Her love of her country, as exemplified by her years of unselfish service while Queen of England, was still her first thought, for she sold her carpet and donated the proceeds to aid her' country's strained finances. This example of unselfish- ness and love fof country is a thought that we could all dwell on with profit.

"We were alarmed by this year's estimates, and asked the boards to reconsider. The public school board definitely did reconsider, ag it returned the estimates to us nearly $3,000 in excess of their former figures. Some members of council have expressed the feeling such expenditures are not justi- PS.
