x NE rl SI TE a _ pe ahr Sa - a -- Scugog Community|Letter from Rev. Jos. Denny Club HEAD CHURCH A large number of the Community again met at the Head Church on the evening of August 17th. The meeting opened with the presi- dent, Anson Gerrow, in the chair. The first number was the singing of "On- ward Christian Soldiers" followed by prayer by Rev. F. G. Joblin. Mrs. Martyn gave an interesting reading, Mrs. S. Rodman and Mrs. Redman sang a duet aciompanied by Miss Dorothy Williams-at the piano. Mr. Joblin gave a talk on subjects of gen- eral interest. Community singing was enjoyed by all for a few minutes. Then Miss Dorothy Williams was asked to take a seat upon the plat- form and Mrs. Earl Reader read the following address, after which Miss Irene Redman presented Dorothy with a lovely compact. Address Dear Dorothy-- While gathered here this evening we wish to take this op- portunity of extending to you our ap- preciation and thanks for the part you played and will continue to play in our comedy-drama "Truth Holiday." We realize your sacrifice and at many times inconvenience in coming from another community to help us. You learned your part quickly and well. You were faithful and diligent in the monotony of practicing, As a token of our appreciation please accept this little gift. Signed by Mrs. S. Rodman on be- half of the Community Club and those who took part in the play. Following this everybody except the bride and groom, Mr. and Mrs, Murray Clarke, were asked to move into the tea-room where arrangements had previoiusly been made for a shower. When all were seated, Mr. and Mrs. Clarke entered' to the strains of the wedding march and were invited to git behind a table well laden with gifts, under a canopy and open um- brella beautifully decorated in pink and white. Mrs. Martyn came forward and read the following address to Mr. and Mrs, Clarke (formerly Miss Aleta Reader.) Address To Mr. and Mrs, Clarke, Dear friends:--We have assembled tonight to extend our heartiest con- gratulations to you and to express the hope that you will have many happy years together. Aleta, you have always been ready at all times to do your share to help in the church and community. Murray, your presence was appreciated at our meetings; and so it is with a feeling of regret that you are leaving our community but we hope to often wel- come you back. The greatest wealth that we can have is that we have plenty of good friends. We may have wealth and many other blessings but if we do not have friends, we are very poor indeed, 80 we hope you will have many good friends. As a slight token of esteem in which you are both held, we ask you to ac- cept these gifts, and may they always remind you of the sincere best wishes of your friends on Scugog. Life is sweet just because of friends we have made, And the things which in common we share, We want to live on, not because of ourselves, But because of the people who care. It's giving and doing for somebody else On that all life's splendour depends, And the joy of this world when you've summed it all up, Is found in the making of friends. After opening the many beautiful gifts Mr. and Mrs. Clarke, in a few well chosen words thanked the donors. He said he and Aleta hoped at many future times to join their friends of Scugog and that they would be glad to help in the community work when possible. The evening closed with a delicious lunch of ice cream and cake. THOU SHALT NOT KILL! DICE TCT Takes al. (Continued from front page) various groups to pay tribute at the spot most honoured in all Britain to our illustrious dead who sleep there. As one passes along Parliament street the great Cenataph erected to those who fought our battles to set the Empire free meets the eye, and every Britisher raises his hat in reverence in sacred memory. Of course when leaving home it was to bear greetings to the parents and friends of many of our people who live in the vicinity. When leaving for England about three years ago, in my unbounded enthusiasm, of course Charley Bennett of Uxbridge had to be told, nor was that sufficient but a prominent man who shall be dubbed "Old Bill" for short had to be inform- ed. Charley asked me to see his brother who lived in one part of Lon- don, which was done. "Old Bill" asked me to deliver a message, but in a directly opposite direction. Charley's brother was seen, then the other man was visited to whom a letter was car- ried. The contents of the letter were unknown to me; but "Old Bill" wrote . "and anything you can do for the bearer will be much appreciated by me. This man got under the impres- sion that some of his musty old books, that had laid in his shelves from gen- eration to generation could be loaded on me, and he was quite indignant when he learned that the purport of my visit was to deliver a message and not to buy his old books. ) This time when leaving England a visit was not paid even to Charley Bennett when passing through Ux- bridve; and lest "Old Bill" might learn of my contemplated trip my business was similar to that of the Arabs "to fold up my tent and steal away "in silence." Had "Old Bill" learned of my intentions he would certainly have sent a dedicatory poem to his Majesty the King in Buckingham Palace; or who knows but what "Old Bill" might have said that anything done for me would have been greatly appreciated by "Old Bill" and it would certainly have been embarrassing to be offered the overloaded ship of some Isle in south seas, or some other hot place, specially when my domain is one of supreme contentment in the vicinity of Prince Albert. Fortunately for me His Majesty is at present enjoying a pleasant and well deserved holiday in Scotland on Pierpont Morgan's Estate, so that it will be possible for me to get away home again without his being aware of my presence until his return. MANCHESTER Mrs. Roy Angell and daughters Velma and Lois returned to their home in Otterville after a pleasant holiday with Mr. and Mrs. Grant Christie. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hill, Whitby, and Miss Rose Masters, Greenbank, were week end guests with Mr. and Mrs. J. Masters.

It was indeéd a shock to the wile community on Saturday, Sept. 3rd, to hear of the passing of one of our pop- ular young men in the person of Mr. Jack Butson. It brings to mind those lines, "The old must die, but the young may die." » Jack had been working in Chatham all summer. Early on Sunday morn. ing of August 28th, his parents re- ceived word that he was seriously ill with double pneumonia, They im- mediately rushed "to, his bedside. For a time Jack seemed to feel better, but on Friday night another message came that he had taken a change for the worse, Death came early Satur- day morning.' Among his other good qualities Jack was a splendid worker. What he did, he did well. His merry whistle and cheerful "Hello" to every- body will be missed by neighbours and all, but most of all by his sorrowing parents, brothers, sister, lady friend; and uncle Bob and Aunt Edith, to to 'whom the community extends its deepest sympathy. The large funeral on Monday conducted by Rev. Ww. J. H, Smyth, showed the affection in which Jack was held. The floral tributes were many and lovely; including one from the Men's Bible Class, and one from the Hockey Boys. = Six young pals were pallbearers. Interment took place in Pine Grove Cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Jeffrey, Weston, Rev. J. G. Miller Collapses in Pulpit. (Globe and Mail) Collapsing in the pulpit just as he finished his sermon on Sunday morn- ing, Rev. J. G.
