WILLILAMSâ€"POTTERâ€"On _ Wednesâ€" day, April 25, at the Methodist Parâ€" _ Sonage, Malton, by the Rev. H. S. Warren, Pauline, eldest daughter of Mrs, T. Potter and the late Thomas Pog.ter, of* Malton, to Mr. James Henry Williams, of Brampton. BAGGâ€"COLHOUNâ€"At the Methodâ€" ist Parsonage, Malton, on Friday, April 27, by the Rev. H. S. Warâ€" ren, Ella Kathleen, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Colhoun, Thistletown, to Ernest Dennis Bagg, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bagg, of Downsview. A fire which broke out early Monâ€" day morning, in one of a row of campâ€" ers‘ shacks on the beach, completely destroyed the whole row. The flames spread to a large barn which Mr. Fred Hicks was connecting into a bathing house, and for a time the Humber Beach Inn was threatened, but the arrival of the Parkdale Fireâ€" men saved the building. One of the shacks was occupied by the Hitchcock family. They were asleep when the fire broke out and barely escaped with their lives, losing all their clothes, and furniture. The shacks were the propâ€" erity of Richard West, and a total loss. Mr.. Hicks‘ loss is about $200. Conâ€" siderable delay in getting water was cauesd on account of no hydrant nearâ€" er than Swansea. Percy W. Ball and E. F. Stoll, reâ€" presenting the Long Branch Ratepayâ€" ers‘ Association, have conferred with Fred T. Stocking, engineer of the Hydroâ€"Electric Power Commission reâ€" Sarding installation of electric lights all through the Lon‘g Branch district north and south of the Lake Shore Road and west of New Toronto. They represented to the commission /that the district, a growing one, was handiâ€" <capped by the absence of lights, while New Toronto had been served for some time. The engineer, after hearâ€" ing the arguments advanced, stated that as soon as the material could be placed on the ground and men securâ€" ed he would order the work to proâ€" ceed. At the next meeting ‘of the Etobicoke council, a week from Monâ€" day, Long Branch residents will inâ€" terview it on township matters. Mr. E. Heuchan; Manager, Mr. L. Voight; Committee, Mr. E.

Also _ two brothers, James D. P. Meredith, of "Toronto, and Thomas W., of Denver, ‘Col., U.S.A., and two sisters, Mrs. S. A. Maynard and Mrs. M. E. Hill, of Toronto. Mrs) Hendry was an active member of the Mimico Methodist Church. Mrs. Mathers, of Lambton, received the sad news last week of the death of her husband, Pte. T. J. Mathers, killed in action on April 19, 1917. Pte. Mathers left last August with the 134th Battalion and/ gave up his â€"stripes to go to France with the rest of the Lambton boys, 10 in number. He was with the 48th Highlanders for eight years before going overseas. Pte. Mather leaves a young wife and two small children aged one and three years respectively. His brother, Floyd, was a member of the 134th, but was «discharged as medically unfit. Anâ€" other brother is on his way to Engâ€" land with the 256th Construction Batâ€" ~talion. E> The Board of Governors of the Lambton Golf Club have reduced their staff of employees to a minimum in order to allow the men ‘experienced in land cultivation free to work on farms; also to increase production they have allotted a portion of the grounds for raising vegetables. Sevâ€" eral of the members have applied for lots, undertaking to properly cultiâ€" vate any space allotted to them. The Board will grant free use of land to parties desirous of securing ground for gardening.

Go after | the business of the town. Some man who lived a long time ago said, "All things come to him who waits." If he hadn‘t lived a long time ago he wouldn‘t have made such S. room last February.. Three dollars a year is the membership fee and enâ€" titles the member to the mission mag azine, "Among the Deep Sea Fishers." The subscription money goes toward the upkeep of the hospitals establishâ€" ed in the Labrador coast and Newâ€" foundland by Dr. Grenfell.‘ The work being done in connection with these hospitals is truly wonderful. The sick are cared fgr, the hungry fed, the naked clothed\and the Gospel preached. Many are unable to give as much to the mission as in past years, so it is to be hoped that new friends will come forward in Weston to help along the good work. Miss Warne wishes to meet representatives of the different churches on Friday evening at 8 o‘clock at the home of Mr. A. A. Briggs, cor. King and Roseâ€" mount. The greatest whirlpool in the world is the maelstrom off the coast of Norway. It is an eddy between the mainland and an island, and when the current is in one direction and the wind in another no ship can withâ€" stand the fury of the waves. Whales and sharks have been cast ashore and killed. The current is estimated to run 30 miles an hour. Miss Warne, secretary of the Labraâ€" dor. Medical Association, hopes to pay a return visit to Weston on Friâ€" day, May l1ith, to form a branch of the Association here. Many of our citizens heard with pleasure Miss Warne‘s illustrated address on Dr. Grenfell‘s work on the Labrador, when she spoke in the Methodist S. I suppose you will think that I have forgotten you but such is not the case. I have been trying to find time and place to write for two weeks and this has been my first opportunity, I am making the best of it. I am quite well and my lucky dog star is still hovering around as I haven‘t been struck with a bayonet, or any other little incident that would remind you of war. I had grenades thrown at me two or three times while on patrol duty last week, but the boombers were very poor shots or I might have been in a nice comfy hospital cot over in "Blighty" now. . Oh well I guess the best way is to go through the whole works and never get touched. I will certainly have some experience which I can reâ€" late when I return. There, are not many who survive twelve months active service without getting woundâ€" ed. It seems that God is giving me his special care. I wonder if it is answer to the prayer you were telling me about. It certainly is not for any virtue of my own as I am kind of a worthless loafer at the best. Last Sunday I attended one of the most impressive church services I have ever heard. We were asked if we wished to go to a prayer or church service, and on agrecing were taken up to our front lines we were in reserve at the time about 400 yards behind the fireâ€" ing line. / Here we went down an old French cave or grotto, it was very large and down about 100 ft. in the bowels of the earth. We went down by a winding stair cut out of solid chalk, that is the nature of the soil or sub soil around this part of France. After descending for what seemed an interminable time â€"we emerged into the cave. Here there were hundreds of men lying or sitting around on bunks which had been erected by us, smoking and chatting until it all was a buzz of noise. The light necessary was provided by candles, whose faint beams of light gave it all a weird fairy like appearance. In the centre was a space cleared for the Chaplain who was dressed in a white and black _gown, and surplice according to the _Church of England custom. In rear of lines was a table cut out of the wall of the cave,on this was draped a large ‘ Union Jack, and at the back of this was a Cross or Crucifix which some ‘soldier with sculptural abilities had _carved out of white chalk, it stood _about two feet high and was very well ‘ done, was based by a pedestal also of chalk. On the table were articles for the administration of communion which was to be held after the prayer service. We waited for some five minutes taking in this stirring scene, and then the Chaplin asked for silence which was immediately given. He then announced a hymn and the voices of the men rang out and echoed and reâ€" vibrated through the cavern.. It was thrilling to see such a collection of strong men all in worship of the Alâ€" mighty. The short service and the Hymns sung made a mark on my memory that will stick, of course I cannot explain it well enough for you to grasp the grandeur of it all. If I were an artist now I could paint that picture truly, I would be famous in a day. ‘Well I guess I will continue the letter, and it will not continue long as my supply of news is running short. I hope you are well and the rest of the Emery folks. I have not received any letters from you or from home for a month. I suppose dirty old Fritz sunk the boat with his cowardly old subs. I have not received any furâ€" lough yet, but may do so any day now if they do not cancel the passes alâ€" together, as I heard was to happen. Well ‘"An Revoir" for now please write soon. The regular, monthly meeting of the Red Cross Branch of Richview Methodist Church was held at the home of Mrs. Dawson last Wednesday. A very pleasant as well as profitable afternoon was spent, the work being distributed for May. April‘s shipâ€" ment to the Weston branch consisted of 31 suits of pyjamas, 9 day shirts, and 18 pair of socks. Miss Ina Jefferson, who has been confined to her bed with an attack of pleurisy, is progressing favorably. Dear Friend.â€" Pte. H. E. Doughty who wrote the following letter to Mrs. Gillis was for a couple of years a student at the Weston High School, his name apâ€" appearing on that Honor Roll. He enâ€" listed in the Scout Division and in a letter written a short time ago to his Mother said, "I am transferred to the advanced Division Corp., do not exâ€" pect any letter from me for a time, I will only have a chance to drop you field cards.
