Hutcheson spoke briefly of the events of war through which Pte Par- geter had passed, commending him for his bravery and the nobility of the sacrifice he had made and was willing to make in defence of his country. The speaker urged the citizens not to forget the boys at the front, where letters and parcels are greatly appre- ciated.' te. Pargeter thanked the citizens for'their kindly welcome, and invited any of the boys who had the nerve to go back with him. At the conclusion of Gordon's re- ply, the citizens cheered him right royally. Although Pte. Pargeter has been a casualty five times, he looks to be in the best of health. He has been in every important engagement in which the Canadians took part, except that at Vimy Ridge. Gordon was one of the First Con- tingent. Among those who went from here in the First Contingent were Eddie Gray, Art. Moughton, Fred Fowler, Howard White, and E. D, Wallace. Every one of these have paid the supreme sacrifice.
