The following clippings from The Free and The Advertiser tell of the Jecaotion in pong and the of the Listowel citizene to the number of over 1,000 turned out to welcome the party at "12:20 Dp. . Hay, peice of the board of trade, the ourists were welcomed on_ behalf es ‘that body by H. P. Wanzer and on behalf of the town itself by May- or R. T. Kemp. Mayor Kemp referred in the kind- liest' of terms to the courtesy shown the Listowel Board ay Trade on the occasion of its recent visit to London. Mayor Wenige was greeted by three rousing cheers as he stepped to the platform to speak. He recalled former visits to ‘Listowel in past and “the meals we ysed to r 25 cents that. today you sentia t get for $5.00, - ‘say noth- ing about the other thing At this juncture siisutinent was made from the downtown section to the armories, where the ladies of the Women’s Patriotic League served a eo repast to about 175 Ballo wing the dinner Major In- gram spoke yo ee ig thee his re- gret that he had n een present in the city to assist mn welcoming the Listowel board to London. He urged non-members and members of the Listowel board to get behind that organization and ,boost for all they were worth. “If the London Chamber of Commerce was not carrying on the work it is doing at the present time some department of the city council would have to do the work,” he said. H. B. Morphy, K.C., expressed his pleasure at seeing Mayor Wenige ac- company the chamber of commerce on its tour. “The presence of the head of the corporation always lends added prestige to trips of this kind," he remar . “These gatherings are all too short. When you.come on . hike you should stay a week wit Dean Fox, speekine on the univer- sity, stated that up until the prdsent time that institution had been un- able to accommodate all the students who sought admittance to it, but that now, with the new buildings ready for occupation this fall, the univer- sity should be able to take care of all who wished to attend. Referring to the 6, Dean Fox stated that ‘the athletic fields have beem so laid out that all the students can get all the exercise that they desire and requtre.”’ e also emphasized the fact that living expenses for students living great that he had not been present in| an were much cheaper than those in Toronto of other. university city, and also that the London students could get home for an occasional week-end, thereby maintaining a contact with home, the importance and benefits of which Dean Fox was no means inclined to minimize Wellington Hay, ex-leader of the Liberal party in the province of On- tario, pointed out that such gather- ings opened up the gates for further business exchanges, which in fact was paramount in the minds of both the London Chamber of Commerce and the Listowel Board ‘ of Trade. Mr. Hay emphasized the efficacy of the personal contact of the principals of business firms in'meeting wit their customers to bring about a better and more satisfactory con- dition of affairs for both parties con- cerne Charles Keene proposed a toast to the ladies, which was greeted with cheers. Mrs. Purcell, president of the league, thanked the visitors for their kind words concerning the dinner served them, and indicated that the only regret the Jadies had was that there had not been more to feed. ) The promise which Listowel had given to repay the hospitality of the London Chamber on the occasion of their visit to this city was far more than fulfilled. Motors with banners met the tourists at the-city limits and led the parade through streets bright with Union Jacks to the main square, where fully half the citizens of the town were gathered to honor the Londoners. Here the formal wel- come was délivered by H. P. Wanzer, |- of the Listowel Chamber, and Mayor R. T. Kemp, on behalf of the town. All were invited to the banquet} served by the Listowel Women’s Pat-] riotic League in the armories. The dinner itself was a triumph of fine cookery, over-hungry business men and little reminiscent comments -on the more than excellent repast con- tinued to be expressed all through the afternoon. Following the-meal came a series of able speeches. FY Wellington Hay, ex-M. A., opened the program with a rousing speech in intercity friendliness and the bonds that held together cities of Western Ontario. H. B. Morphy, C., former M.P., for the district, came next with a speech on Western On- tario’s just pride in its own qualicies} and institutions that paved the way for the London speakers, ean Sherwood Fox, of Western Ontario University, and J.

A third object of the trip had been the getting together of the represen- tatives of the wholesale houses and manufacturing concerns. and their business concerns. This object had fe] I been only partially achieved because} Harv of the fact that the stops in the dif- ferent towns were of necessity of short duration The suggestion had been made by a member of the party taking in the trip. yesterday that a two-day tour be undertaken with the night being spent at the farthest point in the itinerary thus enabling the party to make — stops at each of points vis dewewer Philip intimated that it was quite possible other trips would be made by the chambersthough no definite decision had been made as yet.

It is a fine opportunity for London merchants, manufacturers and wholesale men, wko do business all through thie peninsula, to. get in touch with their clients. What is more, it develops a spirit of co-operation between the business men of London and the cit- ies and towns of Western Ontario. The interests of ng” people of this peninsula are one; yet ofte through jealously and short-sighted- ness there has been pulling in op- posite Grrections. estern Ontario is, without ques- tion, the most fertile agricultural area in Canada and the busiest in- dustrial district in the Dominion. We have a happy balance between rurai and urban life. Yet there is great room for both agriculturai and indus- ial expansion in the 1 countics which form this, peninsula. This can only be secured by co-operation and by pulling together. the tour of the merce, which can develop a Western Ontario spirit is to be commended: only 250 instead of 50 London busi- ness men should be on the next trip.
