Cromwell, who is leaving for the West. The first part of the evening the guests were entertained by Mrs. Reaston, who gave a characâ€" acter sketch in splendid style. Mr. Cromwell sang and Rev. A. J. Toye made a speech on behalf of the Laâ€" dies‘ Aid. The event of the occasion was the presentation of a purse to Mrs. Cromwell from the members, the president, Mrs. Rogers, making the presentation and Mrs. Clarke reading the address, the concluding words being: That you may be well preparâ€" ed to receive largely of the bounty of kindly fortune, we wish you to take with you this purse with its little Iuck penny to helpâ€"you on your way.. May you never know how true a saying is this: Mrs. Cromwell thanked the donors for the kindly interest they had taken in her and wished the society every success. Mr. Cromwell in a few words expressed . his appreciation of the kindness extended to Mrs. Cromwell and himself during their stay with them,. wishing the society every sucâ€" «cess in the coming days.. Refreshâ€" ments were then served and a solo wendered by Mrs. Allen, followed with the singing of "God Be With You Till We Meet Again," brought the social gathering to a elose.

Allan and W, A. Williams of Sydney, Australia, were the guests of Mr. Gibson, general manâ€" ager of the C.C.M., on Thursday at the Weston bowling green. A game of Scotch doubles was played, in which Mr. N. J. McEwen and Mr. Gibsonâ€"opâ€" posed the two from Australia. It was a good game well contested and resultâ€" ed in victory for the home pair by a score of 11 to 14. In speaking of the game, theyistated that in Australia they play on perfect greens. These two gentlemen are representatives for the C.C.M. in Australia. High Park Wins _ . Three rinks from High Park invadâ€" ed the town on Thursday evening. Afâ€" ter the usual preliminary introduction and talk of the past games that were won and lost, the draw was made. A. L. Williams played T. J. Maguire and had a fine game. Of course the president as usual upheld the honor ofâ€"the club in his style. Though down he played theigame. On the, 13th end he made a great running shot, and with the end against him and the jack near the ditch, he had to /carry a toucher that was out in the front back about 20 feet. This he did suctessâ€" fully, but the bowl jumped clean over the ditch, thus the blow became dead. This was a sample of the break in the game. W. A. McEwen drew H. Naggle and had the fight of his young life. He was trailing all the time. End after end was pulled out of the fire. In playing the last end Pat was three shots to the bad. With determination he played to win. On a "slobber" he succeeded in counting the three and thus broke even with his opponent. While all this was going on, W. Shiells was entertaining wW. C. Brown to a little game and incidentally trimmed him. The game was never in doubt. When the president was playing the last end he had a chance to tie up the whole game. He lying one shot and Weston required two to tie up the game. Williams was equal to the ocâ€" casion. He took out the Weston shot with the last bowl and counted the end, thus he won the game by three shots. High Park H. Naggle...15 A. L.

Mr. J. Dickin gave a report of his canvass for the 1918 prize list, which was very gratifying to the Board. All the old contributors had continued their donations, many of them increasing their amount either in money or goods. Aiso some new ones had been added to the list.. The §pecial prizes were not alloted owing to the fact that the revision of the books had not been completed, and it was therefore impossible to place speâ€" cials when the money value of the prize to be awarded had not been fixâ€" ed. The judges were appointed for the various classes and the secretary instructed to notify the men selected of their appointments at an. early date. Mr. N. J. McEwen, manager of the local branch of the Bank of Briâ€" tish North America was presept and gave an outline of the children‘s comâ€" petition to be run in conjunction with the Fair Board and‘ the Canadian Bankers‘ Association. Mr. Robert Wright,a member of the Weston counâ€" cil, spoke on the advisability of ; apâ€" pointing a joint committee of the council:and fair board to have the ovâ€" ersight of the grounds during the year, and said committee to be emâ€" powered to secure the services of a caretaker to keep the grounds in shape and look after the needs of picâ€" nic parties who decided to enjoy an afternoon‘s recreation on them. Noâ€" thing definite was decided in this matâ€" ter. es At a special meeting of the Weston town council held, on Monday night several applications for the position of town constable to replace Mr. W. Campbell, who resighed owing to ill health a short time ago, was receivâ€" ed. After a careful consideration of the names before them, it was decidâ€" ed to give the appointment to Mr. J. Hearn, his duties to commence Auâ€" gust i1st, 1918, The council feel that in their selection of aâ€"constable they have chosen wisely. s SPECIAL MEETING OF wWESTON TOWN COUNCIL Members were present representing the proposed new building company. They asked for certain concessions, but as their plans were indefinite, the matter was laid over for another meeting. The company‘s proposal is to erect in Weston fifty houses this fall that can be sold from $2600 to $3200 each. The type of house will be varied and generally speaking the whole plan will be an advantageous one for the town. The members of the council are prepared to give all the assistance in their power towards the furtherance and carrying out of this proposition, as the housing proâ€" blem in Weston is a difficult one, which if overcome would mean much to the growth of the town. Recent happenings on the Soldiers‘ Farm on Eagle Avenue run under the direction of thé Canada Cycle and Motor Company, Weston, and the Solâ€" diers‘ Aid Commission, made it apâ€" pear that some people in the vicinity are lacking in patriotic principles as well as spirit. This farm, which is worked entirely by returned men, is devoted to the raising of garden proâ€" duce, potatoes and tomatoes covering a large area. These‘vegetables are now ready to be put on the market. But we are sorry to state that boys and men, who at least should have prinâ€" ciple enough to respect other people‘s rights, are in the habit of visiting the farm in the early morning hours beâ€" fore the workmen arrive and in the evening after the men have left for home, and are guilty of helping themâ€" selves to the ripened fruit also doing a lot of damage by bruising the vines through careless handling and trampâ€" ing underfoot. These persons are loâ€" cal characters and known to the manâ€" agement, who intend if this petty thieving goes on, to take the necesâ€" sary steps to protect their property and bring the miscreants to justice. .
