This event has been looked forward to for some time, the ceremony being postponed till the Hon Pe'er Heenan, Minister of Labour could officiate at the opening, The guests, including the Minister of Labour, his wife, J. P. Earngey, M.P.P, and Mrs Earngey, were early on the ground and took advantage of the time to examine the building, At six thirty a banquet was served at which over one hundred people sat down. After the loyal toasts, the Chairman, C. T, Williams, Esq. call- ed upon the Hon. Peter Heenan to address the assembly and to officially declare the building open. In his address the Minister of Labor gave a short synopsis of his term as member for the riding of which Quibell formed a part. In 1919 he said, there had been no roads, the school building at that time was totally inadequate and the district failed to secure: recognition in' the Provinzial | Locals. HON.

One of the speakers at the evening service is to be co)gratulated on his open confession of ignorance upon a subject that he ventured to touch, viz. to the effect that The Americans, despite their great sacrifice of men ard money, and England with her offering of eight and a half million are not held in respect in France BUT the _anadians are, and that he (the speaker) frankly confessed that he did not know why. 1 respectfully ask the worthy gentle- man to reflect a little and read, then he will discover that America and England lent much money to France, an item that France has to pay. Surely the speaker's business ex- perience will prove to him that, if, you lend a friend one hundred dol- lars which he either cannot, or doe: a10t intend to repay, it will eventually sot the ties of friendly feeling. With vigour the speaker declared hat "he was an Englishman and hereby a foreigner." I agree, that the true idea of 3ritish Citizenship, without the Biiiish Impire, must (by the trend of his ipeech) be entirely foreign to 'him jince statements made in public peeches or elsewhere (that have not seen followed out to their logical co2- lusion) give wrong impressions ut that I am sure was farthest from he speaker's intention. I beg a space in your correspondence olumn, and remain Yours faithfully, C. C. WATKINS.
