[Memorial Service Memorial Sunday was observed in the most reverent and tanner, in the combined service held Yin the Mill Hall at the request of the Great War Veterans. No effort had been spared to pro- vide: accomodation for worshippers, but after all the available seats were occupied and a large number were obliged to stand at the rear through- out. the service, many were unable: to gain admission. Rev: J. I'Lean Beaton of Union Church, conducted the service, while ithe Mcdorial Address was given by ithe Rev. S. N. Dixon, rector of St. Luke's, who also, by virtue of his ex- 'perience on active, service, took charge of the more military formalities. The rostrum was 'draped with the Union Jack, while various Rolls ot Honour hung at intervals. The vet- erans in a body 'occupied the centre, the rest of the congregation filling the remainder of the hall.

Amos, president of the U.F.0. and W. L. Smith, one-time editor of the Farmers' Sun, who were on the way to the meetings of the Canadian Council of Agriculture at Winnipeg. i In their addresses these two gentle- men urged the farming community to adhere to their organization, as the only means by whieh the interests of farmers could secure attention. Al- though the Farmer Government was no longer in control, the U.F.0. was still a powerful force in the political world. keep the various Clubs strong and active, as through them much could be done to improve the position of agri- culture as well as add to the social life of farmers and their families. Both eloquent addresses received the vost earnest attention, and new en- thusiasm for the Clubs was created, which will foster loyal membership. OXDRIFT, Nov. 16th--The Oxdrift branch of the 'W. L°held their annual At Home in the Community Hall here last night. There was a surprizingly big. turn-out in spite of the unpleasant "weather. The reputation of the ladies of Oxdrift as hostesses was amply sustained by the excellent lunch serv- ed to those who accepted the invitation of the Institute. Mrs Pateman, the president, acted as chairman, those who contributed to the programme: being the Misses Washburn, Miss Brignall, Miss Pate- man; and Mr Drummond. The mov- ing pictures shown by Mr M. F. Cook alse provided a great deal of interest and amusement. Peter Heenan, M.P.P., was present by request of their committee, and gave an adress. After expressing re- i gret that Mrs Heenan had been unable to accompany him, he spoke very highly of the Women's Institutes and the work they do, and emphasized the hportance of members being regular in attendance at the meetings of such e onganizati ons. 'He felt somewhat at a loss as to what he could talk about before such a non-political body, but explained in some detail such Acts as the Mothers' Allowance, Minimum Wage for girls, Workmen's Compensation, Rural Cre- dits and similar matters more or less affecting women. This part of the address was very interesting to a meeting of this nature. After referring to the matter of tiroads in this developing country, he referred to world conditions and their veaction even on such communities as 'he would use in the endeavour to en- : o fndustry in this district.
