Dustan &£££S^SS . Hearts in the homeland of Durham, and especially of the town, of Bowiuan- ville, would be filled with more than pardonable pardonable pride could they have beheld the exclusive gathering ■- of happy Bowman- yillians at the cosy home of Mr. and Mrs. C, Melvin Scott, 482-i5th-st., on Friday Friday evening, Nov. 20th, when over forty men and women of Edmonton met and dined on good old Ontario foods such as turkey, pie, Devonshire cream, Ontario apples, etc. Some weeks previous a committee of friends met to devise a means.of promoting promoting a gathering of Bowmanville people in Edmonton with a view of renewing old tiés and associations, that through the stress of business were becoming relaxed. A more representative gathering of ladies and gentlemen from any part of the world would have been hard to find. Successful Successful professional and .business men from all walks in life were theré. Smartly gowned gowned ladies with beaming faces and a general general air of refinement and prosperity evidenced and typified! the prosperous homes from which they came. Promptly at 8 o'clock the guests began to arrive. Mrs. Scott in cream satin and lace, Mrs. Colin McDonald in yellow satin with gold braided tunic, Mrs. H. D. Talbot in cream lace on white satin, and Miss Anna Veal in blue crepe de chene with lace accessories, assisted by Messrs. Scott and A. W. Foley received the guests. From 8 to 9 o'clock the hour was agreeably spent in a renewal of acquaintances, acquaintances, and promptly at g o'clock all retired retired to the dining room, beautifully decorated decorated for the occasion, where well-laden tables invited them. The tables were decorated in keeping with the good things found thereon. Beautiful flowers were much in evidence: Thoughtful and sympathetic sympathetic in the midst of gayéty; for one unable to attend, the flowers were later sent to Mr. Russell Foley, seriously ill at the Royal Alexandria hospital after an operation. After all had partaken to their hèarts' desire, Mr. A. W. Foley, chairman, welcomed welcomed the guests on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Scott and the banquet committee, stating that they had been called together to renew acquaintances and spend a social evening. The gathering had already evidenced that the desire of the committee was being successfully accomplished. The chairman further stated that it had been a surprise even to those responsible for the gathering to find so many former Bowmanville friends living in Edmonton. He found it most pleasing to be able to say of a.ll. who had left the old home town and its many pleasant associations to make new homes in Edmonton, that they had made good. Later in the evening, after many pleasant pleasant references had been made tp. the honored honored citizens, the beautiful homes, trees, lawns, and flowers, etc., of the old home town, the chairman reminded those who had not visited the town in recent years that they might be somewhat disappointed. Bowmanville had in a sense become cosmopolitan cosmopolitan and commercialized. That many of the dear faces once so familiar would be seen no more. That a younger generation would be met upon the streets, most of whom they would not know. He reminded them that many of the old landmarks landmarks have disappeared or had become sadly defaced, with special reference to the old drill shed and fair grounds. The changes in the north and west part of the town owing to the construction of the C.P.R. and Toronto & Eastern railways, Vanstone's mill pond and Stanley's. hill were spots well known to all that had become become defaced and their beauty spoiled by the same railways. An excellent musical and literary program had been prepared for the evening but was dispensed with, till some future gathering, as all were enjoying enjoying themselves to the limit. Before' rising from the table the chairman called for voluntary remarks from any who felt so disposed. The call was promptly responded responded to by Dr. Edgar Allin, Rev. L S. Wight, B.A., B.D., Dr. H. Prust, Mr. W. G. Carpenter, B.A., and Miss Veal. Dr. Norman Allin sang a patriotic song in his old time form and was much appreciated. Many others would gladly have responded responded had time permitted. Many witty remarks were made and many amusing in- cidents recalled by the speakers in referring referring to the many happy days spent in and around the old town. The mentioning of school days associated many of the old teachers and others largely responsible for the moulding of the mind and characters of those present, summed up in the words ol Rev. Mr. Wight who said "that godly parents and church associations had trained trained their minds to think and act right", and to Mr. Carpenter who said "I do not wonder wonder that you are all making good when I consider the parent stock from which you came". On retiring from the dining room a photographer in waiting took a flashlight of those present, at the hour of midnight. A further hour was wiled away with Mrs. Prust presiding at the piano, in singing "The Home Land of Durham" by Dr. Jas. L. Hughes, Toronto, "Tipperary", popular popular songs and songs of college da vs. - In the early morning hours, after singing singing "Au d Lang Syne", the guests departed departed to their homes glad to have met, and hoping that shortly they might all meet again.
