_ PAGE EIGHT i «o Sn <uee e . | ! @ s3 Ceaed Sn x Bandmaster Sainsbury spoke a few â€" words of welcome: "Glad to welcome ‘ you back. Some of our boys, my own _ brother among them,has paid the sacâ€" â€" rifice of life itself. ,Our battalion _ needs 400 more men before we are .\ full strength. Cannot Weston give _ us three toâ€"night? One of these boys ‘ has given a leg. What have you givâ€" en? You have done well in Weston, _ both in money, work and men. But we â€" must do.still better." ve preserve the sanctity of our homes, we must not quibble over a small amount of taxes if thereby we can help them. If may be in the days to come these boys, when they see others who have not had the spirit of patriâ€" otism forging ahead, will feel disâ€" couraged and think their country has forgotten them. Not so!l Canada will never forget the heroism of her boys. ‘YÂ¥ou have helped to bring about highâ€" er ideals of life, to build a greater nation, and your deeds and names will be set_down in the annals of history yet to be written. a m pramen , mss ; ; : s mm kn mimrmanmendlc encnt unmerianre s T t 6 igy s & t ® :z ewilior j mar mss pas anmes s t emie omm ukn meremeny on en ermianr xd ces d s e e Gunt ho is ces C ; f ; p = a f c s i o : C f \Io o , 9 C 9 U Ca _ R j C ; ; 7 ) P % k 19 °C & C 3 & > W V J < P iJ W . One young boy of sixteen came forâ€" ward and asked to enlist, but was too young. Rev. Forbesâ€"Robertson remarked that it was his first appearance on a Weston public platform, He was proud to be asked to welcome the boys Mome. It had been his painful duty to carry the message of a soldier‘s death to a bereaved wife a few days ago. He said he thought it was up to Weston to send_some one to take the place of these boys. He would not want to be in the shoes of the boys who in the months to come say that they were earning too much monâ€" ey to go.‘ When in after. years the children are studying the history of this war and your little boys say:â€" "Daddy, what did you do?" It would be a shameful thing to have to reply that I stopped at home. There is a place for every man, either in the army or the navy if he is fit. Father Staley was then called upâ€" on, but was not present. _ Dr. Long in his remarks said durâ€" ing the past three years we have had many new experiences. The first Red Cross meetings were held. We have given our first send off to the boys and now we are having another new experience, our first welcome to our returned soldiers. He said he hoped that before many months had passed C .

Other special features now running Rev. _ Hughesâ€"Jones first paid tribute to those who . had fallen. Six of them were ~his own special people. The Lord loves selfâ€"sacriâ€" fice. They had paid the sacrifice, we honor their memory. Now, as recâ€" tor of St. John‘s, he said that he welâ€" comed them home, they had done their part, and what are we going to do? Our returned soldiers must be treated with consideration. The Goâ€" vernment have provided schools where these boys can go, taking a choice or occupation which will fit them to take their proper place in life. Two of these are situated in Toronto. But we must do our part to help these boys reconstruct their lives. One word in regard to Englandâ€"she has a capable man in Lloyd George. He said he was proud to claim him as a brother Welshman. She can look after herâ€" self. She is doing it, and other rations as well. He said he hoped and prayâ€" ed that we may not forget the noble men who have fought in this war. He was sure Weston would look after her boys. ' would ery for peace? Never! It is beâ€" cause she is losing her holé. Yes, there are many who, rather than see peace as Germany wants it, would don the khaki at once and fight for the peace of the Allics. Rev. J. M. McKay said: "I am proud to be one of the speakers chosen to welcome these brave boys back again. The war is still on, so we must fight on. I am glad former speakers have spoken of England as well as Canada. The spirit of the Angloâ€"Saxon race is rising up in all hearts, and they are fighting for a grand cause, 300,000 of our countrymen are in the colors, and they with the other allied nations of the world are trying to bring about a system or peace, everlasting peace for all." _ During the evening the 220th Batâ€" talion band gave a number of patriâ€" otic selections, and vocal selections were rendered by Mrs. McEwen, Missâ€" es J. Hutchinson, C. Packham, B. Hill, B. Macklim and Master Geo. Verral, which were very much appreciated. Mayor Charlton, in his few closing remarks, thanked all those who had in any way contributed to the proâ€" gramme. He then called upon Miss M. Forsythe, the accompanistâ€"for the evening, to preside at the piano while the audience stood and sang God Save the King. A meeting of the Sir Edward Carâ€" son LO.L. 2315 was held at Mimico last night. . Worshipful Brother Bagâ€" ley occupied the chair. ‘The rights and privileges were extended by J. R. Findlay, Deputy County Master. It was decided to hold no annual banâ€" quet this year on account of the heavy expenditures in connection with the sick benefit fund for the members of the lodge who are overâ€" seas. _ The following members were inâ€" stalled in office: Brother Brady, as treasurer;~ Bro. Everett, chaplain; Bro. Biggerstaff, first committeeman; Bro. Kennedy, first lecturer. District Master Woolner conducted installaâ€" tion and ceremony. Two members leave for overseas on Monday.
