As you compare these cultivated lots with those left uncultivated you note the difference. _ One is producing foodstuiis while the other is producing weeds that destroy foodstuff. At the present time these weed lots are all in seed or nearly so. The wind will carry them far and near. Thus they will scatter the weeds all over. Could not some measure be adopted to force the cutting down of such weeds? A look at the church cemetery and the lots in the centre of town growing these weeds will convince you of the necessity of some acâ€" tion. It is time that some common community spirit should urge the clearing of these weeds. Were you living in the country and let your farm run to seed, those in the neighborhood would soon see that the ground was clear. Could we not do likewise and, have these grounds cleared up.

To save this one per cent. you will have to pay the first instalment on the day set, September 20th, and the second instalment on the 20th of November. Thus the inducement to pay your taxes on the dates is great. Do it at once. In sending cheques from outside, they should be made payable at par in Weston. Where this is not done the exchange price must be added to the amount. Cheques not made out in this manner will not be accepted. All Toronto cheques are paid at par here. Cheques on outside banks, however, have the exchange. This must be paid by the person remitting the taxes. Find out the exchange and add it to your total. All persons must send addressed enyvelopes with stamps for the returning of their receipts when remitting by mail. % On reading the tax notices for the year some are saying that the rate is is what your notice totals.

One of the main objects is to have a large entry list and a big crowd. The Board have done well with the amount of prize money they are able to offer. It is one of the best lists to be. had in the country. They have advertised the Fair very, extensively this year and expect to have a record crowd. What is now required to make success assured is your littlepart played well. Arrange first to look the prize list over. If you have anything to exhibit see that it is entered early. Make sure that you get one or more entries in. Then arrange to go yourself and bring or tell all your friends to come. Use the little sticker on the back of your envelopes.. All this will help the Fair and also help Weston. A systematic coâ€"operation of all spells success. Don‘t you fall down on your part. Be the man on the job and play your role to the finâ€" ish. * & ’ l imprs X & ‘ S 4 ienss es se pees io o en s caiee oice ercmaiiien, The Mayor called up the three boys who had returned previously, Fred Darius, Harold Rowntree and Harry Maginnes. The council had decided to give all the returned boys a gold medal as a small token from the town. These were presented to the boys by the Mayor. Harold Rowntree was not present,. so his was given to his grandfather. The medal is a beautiful piece of work. It is made in the shape of a Maltese cross, suitably engraved.. It is suspended from a gold clasp with tri colored ribbon. Miss Clarice Packham and Bessie Macklin both sang and were much appreciated. Lieut. Clarke Wallace, home on leave, spoke. He was proud of York‘s men and the men of Weston. They had borne bravely the hardships and suffering on the battlefield, in camp life and by wounds. Time has made it necessary to have conscription to take the place of the voluntary system and supply men. He told of how the papers praise the work of the Canadians, how Englishmen speak of the Canadians. This is done so much that we begin to think that the Canadian is doing it all. ‘This is not so. The Englishman takes his part as a matter of course. It is second nature to him. They are proud of the Canadians and the stand they have taken. They are proud of our ability. Can we quit? No! Can we look up to the man who stays at home when duty calls him elsewhere?â€" No! The time is at hand when all will be called upon to do their share. The only way to protect our line is by sending over more men. t io in l omnennes ie ce ul on be t ccmare i mt ‘and. lhe nospital and medical attention was of the very best. The Mayor called upon Mayor McKenzie of Woodbridge, who had just returned home. In intro ducing him he spoke of how he had won the military eross for bravery and had been presented to King George on June (oth In responding Mr. MceKen=â€"ie said we have to take off Cur hats to the men in the trenches and in the ranks. It is they who have the hardships to suffer. They bear the brunt of the work. Officers have more privileges than the men. He thought that Weston was a beautiful p lace as he came home. Never in his life did he feel the thrill of pleasure before in passing through Weston as he did when he returned home. He left Valcartier in July, 1915, to relieve the first division. During his time in France he had seen much oflife. The Â¥pres salient is one vast cemetery. You might picture yourself in a saucepan, with Germans all around the edge and you in the centre. That is the Ypres salient. One of the differences between the Allied soldier and the German is their disâ€" position. The Canadians with their Allies go over the parapets with a rush and use the bayonet with a will, while the German does his work with a sulk. He spoke of being wounded at Vimy Ridge and being carried back by four Germans. While in England he witnessed the raids on London and EFolkeâ€" stone. He told of them dropping poisoned candies for the people to handle.. These would cause great infection among those who handled them. Over one hundred children were killed in one school by. the air raiders. He spoke of how the King was looking after the poor pecple in the east of London, visiting them and doing what he could to relieve their sorrow and "suffering. The fleet has kept the Huns from our shores. Who is the man that is not willing to protect our shores from these barbarâ€" ians. Our heritage is one to be proud of. The boys of our country are called upon to take the place of these men who have returned. Our country and our women are all worth the fight we are called upon toemake. The men will see that reinforoements are sent to fill un the fanks sa denlerad Each of the three boys expressed their thanks and appreciation in short addresses. They were glad to get home. Fred Mattison spoke of the great kindness and attention he had received in Engâ€" land. The hospital and medical attention was of the very best. i 1 0) on alous URENYwgm im o o roer anen ie on one Nesn t t o id 112 LoAE COIL His anm is now getting very much better and he will get the use of it again. Fred Matsfcjson enlzi;sted in 1915 and went across with the rest of the boys from Weston. He was wounded by shrapnel. His hip was badly shattered. By careful attention and much patience he has returned to us again. His hip is knitting. A shorter litmb will be the result of his injury. Pte. Stanley was in the same trench with Walley McLean when he was captured by the Germans. Jean Hutchinson sang "The Lone Trail" with much feeling and expression. The Reeve, Mr. J. M. Gardhouse, was called upon to speak. He spoke of how proud he was to be able to stand and do honor to the boys who had gone to the front, done their part and now returned. They had played their part, suffered from wounds and discomforts to defend our country. Weyall rejoice that you have been permitted to return home again and we welcome you back. : Councillor Macklin, in extending the welcome,said : "Our boys with short training for military exâ€" perience have gone over and trimmed the picked armies of Germany." He thought the Germans had better quit now before they were all slaughtered. The Mayor, Dr. Charlton, called the meeting to order. After the ovation given to the boys as they entered, all rose and sang the National Anthem. _ Every available space was taken. Flags arranged with artistic hands added to the appearance. The big crowd gave inspiration to the speakers, singers and awe to the boys. In a few neat and well chosen remarks the Mayor extended the formal welâ€" come to Ptes. Pusey, Stanley and Fred Mattison,. The Mayor spoke of the other three boys who had been tendered a reception previously. He spoke of how all had left home, position and friends, to fight for the principles of right and freedom. In doing so they were fighting for Canada. Therefore there is nothing too good for the boys. We are proud of them and their work. We are proud to welâ€" come them home again. Our sincere hope is that they may long be spared to enjoy life and become good citizens of our town and our fair Dominion, He spoke of Mr. Pusey, who had enlisted early in the war, went to England and while there developed a physical weakness. This caused him to be unfit for service in France. He did his bit and has now been returned home as unfit for further military service. Irvine Stanley enlisted in 1914 with his father. He was wounded at Hill 60 by a stray shell. His father was killed in action. . Since returning home he has been staying in Islington.

As the council had called aâ€"special meeting to discuss a local byâ€"law, they could not get here till 9 o‘clock. Just before they were ready to start the Hydro electric light went out. This made the torches carried by the small boys more prominent than ever.. The procession proceeded down Little Avenue to Eagle, to Main, to John, to Rosemount, to Church, to Main, and again to the hall. The firemen and their outfit made a decided impression. They formed a guard of honor for the boys to pass through as they came into the town hall. The old town took on a gala day appearance on Friday evening. The stores and homes were niceâ€" ly decorated with flags and colors. Automobiles were adorned with red, white and blue bunting and flags and paraded the street. The firemen were all arrayed in their smart blue uniform and the fire truck with its beautiful color added to the array. T he townspeople were all out and gathered around the town hall to give the boys awhearty welcome home. wWESTON WELCOMES HOME THREE MORE OF HER SOLDIERS THE RESULTS OF THE PRODUCTION CAMPAIGN WEST YORK‘S NEWSY WEEKLY WESTON FEAIRâ€"SEPTEMBER 14 & 15 sOME NOTES RE THE TAXES WESTON, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1917 dve, sposc. e was proud of York‘s men and the men of hardships and suffering on the battlefield, in camp life and by o have conscription to take the place of the voluntary system papers pl;aise the work of the Canadians, how Englishmen M e dee im ern on nem e en cce . s So enc es esn M 20 2 nd our women are all worth the fight we are called nts are sent to fill up the ranks so depleted. returned previously, Fred Darius, Harold Rowntree give all the returned boys a gold medal as a small the boys by the Mayor.
