.-as§‘s§ LGr trel PAGE TWO To the I.O.D.E., Union Jack Chapter, Mimico. The other day I was delighted to receive my usual parcel from the I. 0.D.E. So you see this is Just a note of greeting, acknowledgment and thanks. What is the use of me say- ing again what has been said hun- dreds of times by dozens of soldiers --that the Mimico ladies certainly do Look after the soldiers representing them overseas. I sometimes wish that we could wear on our uniforms the name of the town from which we have come, for everyone of us would be pleased to have ourselves placard- ed "Mimico". It makes us feel that we are doing something when we have, these inonthly parcels from the "la- dies,who are left behind,' So once more accept my very hum- ble and hearty thanks tor your gift. Please take my greetings to all the members of the Union Jaxek Chapter. At present I am in England helping to train our new men. They are do- ing splendidly and will make an A-l showing in the "great adventure" across the channel. I suppose. it will not be long before I am back there again. ' Capt. J. Gordon Gauld is a son of Mr. George Gauld, assistant superin- tendent of the Victoria Industrial School, Mimico. He enlisted and went over during the early stages of the war. As a lieutenant he figured in a very successful raid on the Hun trenches. The following note appear- ing The ,London Times: For conspic- uous gallantry and devotion to duty when in charge ot a successful raid on the German trenches and although wounded he carried on with the ut- most courage and determination, in- flicted severe casualties on the enemy and obtaining information which greatly assisted the general attack on the following day. Lieut. Gauld has been awarded the Military Cross and promoted to the rank of captain. Up- 'on recovering from his wounds he re- turned to duty and in the battle of Passenchdale was again wounded. Since then he has been convalescent in England, aCpresent is station with the 8th Canada Reserve, expecting to return to France at any time. "s " France, April 23, 1918. I.O.D.E., Mimico I write to thank you for the parcel reecived by me all O.K. and ask you to thank all the members ot the Un- ion Jack Chapter for past favors. I can assure you I have got into the ha- bit of looking forward to the coming ot these parcels, as they always con- tain something that I am in need of. I have not much to say about the war, but you can tell by the papers we are very busy with Fritz's often- sive;every Canadian will be glad when this war is over, but we can also stick to it until Fritz knows he has had enough, no matter how long. I wish to again thank the chapter for their thoughtfulness tor the soldier boys. I remain You will I am sure forgive me for not acknowldging before now the par- cel sent by you; you will understand that we have been hardly pressed the last few weeks. We can indeed count ourselves Very fortunate to have es- caped as we did; there were times when we were in awfully tight places. “"On Wednesday evening the new cit- adel of the Mimico corps of the Sal- vation Army was formally opened and dedicated by Commissioner Richards. The hall was filled to capacity, many" ofthe leading members of the vari- ous church being present in the con- gregation. The commissioner in his address referred to the progress made by the army since coming into Mimi- co less than one year ago, and con- gratulated the officers who had been in charge of the work. Capt. Leech, who was the first officer to come to Mimico, was well received and relata ed his experiences in forming the Mimico Corps. The present officer in charge, Capt, R. McLean, received an enthusiastic reception when called up- on by the Commissioner. Mrs. Brig. Adby gave a brief but exceedingly bright address, as did also Brig. Adby and Brig. Miller. Commissioner Ri- chards read a portion of the scriptures and gave an eloquent and forceful ad- dress upon the parable of the Good Samaritan. The parable was applied to the present day conditions. Musical selections were provided by the. band ot the West Toronto corps. the Lisgar Songsters and the headquarters quar- tette, all of which were very good. Col. McMillan occupied the chair. OPENING OF SALVATION I.0.D.E., Mimico Ya). will be sorry for the boys who made the supreme sacrifice, and those who are now in the hospital. We are now in a camp from the front line, being reorganized and re- fitted so that we can carry on with our work. Please accept my thanks for the valuable parcel, it was certain- ly useful coming as it did at a time when most of our equipment was lost. Yours sincerely, SERGT. R. GORDON. France, Mar. 20, 1918. At the last meeting ot the Union Jack chapter of the Mimico I.O.D.E. it was decided by a unanimous vote to continue the work as usual during the summer months. The letters re- ceived trom the boys overseas convey- ed so strongly their appreciation of the comforts sent them that they felt it would be an injustice to the men at the front to discontinue sending par- cels tor even one month. The approach to the Port Credit bridge is a dangerous stretch of the Toronto-Hamilton Highway. The rest.. dents have been pointing this out to the commission for some time back, but nothing has been done to improve the situation. For some reason the work on the bridge has been delayed, and no doubt the commission are leav.. ing all the work until the bridge mat. ter is cleared up. At this point then ought to be a substantial guard rail to prevent cars from sliding into the river in the event ot crowding the road, which is very narrow at the east- ern approach. The matter was brought to the notice ot the residents on Mon- dp, When a, car was ditched and only a miracle saved it from sliding into the river. N BOYS’ APPRECIATION OF HOME BOXES Very kindest regards, J. GORDON GAULD, Capt LAKE SHORE ROAD An obedient soldier, C. BOWNESS, April 29th, 1918. MIIMJCO 8th Can. Res. Batt, ARMY C ITADEL Work on the. vacant lots in,the dif- ferent sections of the town is pro- gressing favorably, and the people are showing greater enthusiasm than was at first anticipated. Good results are confidently looked forward _to. them in better condition than in pre- menced work on the different road- ways ot the town. All the streets will be graded and an effort made to keep them ii better condition than in pre- vious years. Councilior A. Dyer and family are visiting with friends at Goderich, Ont. At the present time there has been a big rush of people in to see New To- ronto. People who did-not know of the place have .been out looking the situation over. This has been the re- sult of the big advertisements that were, carried in the Toronto papers during the past few days. Many who are on the look out for a new home took the cars out to see if it was Just a. real estate boost or if there was anything to offer. Place yourself in their position. What would your impressions be? Would the layout and general condi- tions that you see attract you to-day as it did when you first settled there? If they would not then what improve- ment would you suggest? Well, one thing is the state of the vacant lots in the town. These are al- lowed to run wild. Weeds, grass, rub- bish, and piles of dirt are lying around and if there was anyone living on these places they would be soon told to clean them up. No person would stand for that sort ot thing. But on account ot their absence they are let off. As a result the appearance of the village suffers. Some action ought to be taken to have a general clean up of all these lots. This is especially so if the large advertiser/nents are to be continued. V The management of the Goodyear Tire Co. are doing their part to- make New Toronto. They have several men on their grounds laying them out. In the States much time is given over to this work. Special courts are set apart in the universities for the study of landscape architecture. All the big firms spend their money Jn beautify- ing of their places of business. This firm is no exception. It will make a lovely spot when the whole place is cleared and planted. In factyit will be the attraction of the highway. In view of this, why is not the commis- sion's place cleared? It certainly does not assist New' Toronto to have that dirty and untidy pile of cars, tracks, buildings and dirt lying there. Everybody who passes along the high- way sees it. Could this not be remov- ed at once? It will be a benefit to all those in the neighborhood of the pro- perty to have it done at once. The question of weeds has in the past years been one that has annoyed many citizens in our community. It looks like another good season this year. It occurs because some will not keep their weeds cut on their own pro- perty. If a, place is kept for a while it is covered with the seeds from his neighbor's place. As a result there is no incentive tor him to Cut-his weeds. If everybody was allowed to leave the snow what would be the result? It was found necessary to pass a by-law compelling everybody to clear their property. If they will not do so, then the village charge it up to them in their taxes. Thisyhas worked out well in all municipalities. Will not the same by-law passed work out in re- gard to weeds? Each council has_the authority to pass a by-law that will cover this point. Thus the question is up to each eouncil. If you want the weed menace put out of the way, pass this by-law. Now is the time to have them cut. Don't wait until the sum- mer is over, pass it at the next meet- Ing. Why are the empty ice cream tubs allowed to stand on the highway for a, week at a time? This is a question that wants some attention. It does not add to the beauty ot the street. Ar- rangements no doubt can be maade to have them stood at the back of the stores. Or the company _ {an t made to pick them up when ir'ls'iit at the tracks. _ I 'w With the big increase of the pop- ulation along the lake shore, the pres- ent car transportation service does not begin to meet the demands. Every summer there are more and more peo- ple coming into the.section. This year there has been an increase over any previous year. With the additional 1200 men at Long Branch camp, the service is made worse than ever. Will the people still be satisfied to ride on overcrowded cars?, Will the people continue to suffer without a murmur as they have done in the past? Or will you assert your rights? This company is bound to give you a. service. They will give it only when they are forc- ed to do so. It will require co-op- eration of all the citizens in this sec- tion to fight the company on this mat- ter. They are. bound to supply a bet- ter service. They will be paid for that service by the increased traffic. They will receive all the benefit. What they would like is to have the people of the district give them a grant to lay their tracks. It is what they are playing for. Will you stand for it? No! it is a question of fight this com- pany and force them to give a service. Under the auspices of the I. O. O. F. West Point lodge, the Khaki Follies gave another splendid entertainment in the assembly hall of the hospital tor the insane on Wednesday evening. The hall was fairly well filled and considering the warm weather, the promoters did well to secure such a large audience. The programme was varied and every item was well ren- dered. Miss M. Free of Mimico was encored for excellent rendering ot her songs, and Miss O. Skirrow made a splendid accompanist. The proceeds are divided equally between the Kha- ki Follies and the Soldiers' Comforts Association of New Toronto. Court of Revision. Five appeals against the assessment of taxes on property were heard at the Court of Revision, presided over by Reeve Loveipy and the members of the council on Wednesday evening. The Dupont Fabrikoid Co. and. Mr. Munroe were also handed out the same glad tidings. My. A. Keith was informed that there would be no reduction. Mrs. E. Whitten, a widow, was suc- cessful in her appeal and was allow- ed a, reduction ot fifty dollars. Mr. John Slater's income evidently was not whatu't was cracked up to be, and his income tax assessment was withdrawn. Gordon Gilbert, a nine year Q6 boy living on Fifth Street, was seriously injured about the body and the left eye, when a time fuse which he was playing with exploded. Dr. Forbes- Godfrey was summoned to attend and NEW TORONTO according to his report Gordon is like- ly to lose his eye, though will recover from his other injuries, The New To- ronto constable has been instructed to find out where the boy obtained the fuse, Which' proved so dangerous a plaything. C " Amongst those who were ordained at the ordination service held at Elm Street Methodist Church on Sunday was the Rev. J. Walker, who has had charge of the Methodist Church of New Toronto for the past two years. The reverend gentleman has been a. hard worker for the cause since his arrival and has been the means of in- teresting the young folks of New To- ronto in church life. The members and friends will be glad to know that M1: iirahrer is now a full fledged min- ister of the/gospel and will wish him every success in the tuttire. On Wednesday evening the mem- bers of the LO.O.F., West Point, 425, New Toronto, were visited by Grand Master Mann and Grand Secretary Brookes and numerous brethren from the city and Port Credit. The meet- ing was partly social, and after all routine business had been dealt with, the remainder of the evening was spent in a, most enjoyable manner, winding up with refreshments. The lodge is growing and making favor- able progress. The regular meeting of the L. O. L. 328 was held on Friday evening in the basement of the Methodist church. A visit was paid them by the offi: oer of Toronto Junction district. Dis- trict Master W. Carter presided and was assisted by Deputy D. M. W. Thompson, and the other visiting of- ficers. There was an excellent at- tendance and a lively interest was shown in the business transacted. (foci-sr" Master Finlay delivered an educational address, which was much appreciated by all present. The piano recital to be given in Lambton Methodist Church on Mon- day, June 17th, by the pupils of Miss Josephine Creech, promises to be an evening ot high class music. The pi- ano selections will be interspersed with solos, readings and violin num- bers by the following well known art- ists: Mrs. J. H. Hartley, contralto; Mrs. Wm. Aitcheson, soprano; Miss Gertrude Bell, soprano; Miss Susie El- lins, violinist; Miss Eudace Quarring- ton, accompanist, and Miss Alice Reid, reader. Proceeds in aid of the Choir Fund.
