At first the sale of War Savings Cer.. tificates was attended with disappoint-. ing results, possibly because it was hedged about by cumbersome restric-. tions. It was not until these were INN. moved in June of 1916 that appreci- able results were secured. Even though the War feeling has subsided the sale of Certificates continues to be very brisk, 3,428,191 having been sold dum. ing the week ending January 18,which average, if maintained, would double the sales for 1917. . It should be borne in mind that while these millions of War Savings Certificates were being sold, the sale of National War Bonds reached the huge total ot $8s226,688,67.0. The sale ot these bonds began on October I, 1917, and ended on January 18, 1919, while means that during the 68 weeks of the issue the average weekly sales amounted to $120,000,000. War Saving Certificates were first 'placed on sale in Great Britain on February 22, 1916. Between that date and January 18, 1919 inclusive, 287,- 030,200 certificates were sold. These represented $1,435,151,000. Of this amount the redemptions amount to probably a little over 4 per cent. The sales by years are as follows: 1916 Certificates _sold 54,394,053 1917 Certificates sold 82,835,268 1918 Certificates sold 140,761,865 As the financial year does not end until March 31, it is quite probable that the sales during the present fiscal year will exceed those of last by over " per cent That the sale of Certifi- cates is continuing strong may be seen in the fact that for the week ending January 11, 1919, sales brought in $11,500,000; while for that ending January 18 they were about $17,000,- 000. , At an Executive meeting of the Mount Dennis ratepayers was held Monday night at the home of Presi- l dent M. J. Connor, which was noted for its enthusiasm and full attendance. Many important measures were tak- en up, such as lights, streets and side- walks. A committee was struck off to wait on York Township Council and secure full details as to the money ap- propriated by the-council tor these improvements. A Copy ot the pro- posed agreement between the hydro and York Township was read by the Secretary, Mr. It. Russell, which caus- ‘ed considerable discussion. Messrs. M. J. Connor, R. Russell, Dr. Pearson and A. English were elected a committee to secure automobile transportation for all returning veterans from the station to Mt. Dennis. A delegation lwas also elected to wait upon York Township for financial and the pro- posed reception and presentation to the veterans of this town. The good roads Commission came in for strong criticism‘ ot the' deplorable state of the Weston road highway. Progres- siveness was the keynote of the even- ing and the ratepayers are hoping 'that the now strong and influencial executive will be able to push the much needed improvements to fulfill- ment. _ At a reeerit meeting of the trustees of School Section 28, it Was decided to ask for $10,000 in order to complete the'. new six-rpomed. addition 'to Den- nis Ave. school, now. in course ot erec- tion. GREAT BRITAIN'S wart , SAVINGS CAMPAIGN The prizes and certificates were pre- sented to the winners on Monday ev- ening, 17th instant, in Holy Trinity Parish House, Toronto, by the Lord Bishop ot the Diocese. Dora Easto, Junior, highest in her grade. Winnie Taylor won a good certificate, taking over 70 per cent. of the marks required. Everyone interested in Sunday schools will be pleased to learn that in the annual Advent examinations held throughout the Dominion of Canada in the Anglican Sunday schools, the scholars ot this district have made a remarkably good showing. Out of the ten best places in the Diocese of Toronto the Sunday school of the Church of the Good Shepherd, Mount Dennis, have won five, as follows: Ivy Clarke, 1st prize, Middle Grade; Mil- lie Bath, 2nd prize, Senior Grade; Edith Moore, 3rd prize, Middle Grade; Ada Moore, 4th prize, Senior Grade; Queenie Chappell, 5th prize, Middle Grade. All the above have won 1st class certificates. The regular meeting of the G. W. V. A. was held last Tuesday evening With a good attendance of members. President Armstrong occupied the chair and conducted the routine busi- ness. The latter part of the evening was arranged as a smoker and tare- well for L. P. Trounce, who had the honor of being president when the organization was first formed. Trice, President Rigglesford acted as Master of Ceremonies, and under his direction a, social hour interspersed with songs, music and short speeches, was spent. Mr. Trounce, accompanied by his wife, is leaving shortly for England, trust- ing that the, change will be beneficial and restore his health, which is not what colin, be desired for some months past. Comrade Armstrong, on behalf of the organization, presented him with a handsome case of pipes, also Wished him a speedy recovery and return to Canadian shores. er, but those who forgot wind and rain in their zest for a good time and carried on with the same spirit as in the days of Flanders fields, were well repaid in the enjoyable social hour spent together. Lunch was served from the dainty boxes prepared by the ladies, and considerable good natured rivalry occurred as the boxes were disposed of to the highest bidder. PAGE SIX The concert held under the auspices of _the wardens in the schoolroom of the Church of the Good Shepherd last Thursday was a very successful event in church history. Rev. A. J. Arthur as chairman cordially wel- comed the large gathering, and a pro- gramme of variety and high class se- lections was rendered by the following talent: Miss Louise Weber, Ralph Gor- don, W. Parris and N. G. Beardall. The church orchestra, under the di- rection bf Mr. Broomhead, als’o con- tributed several numbers. The dance and box social, under the direction of the G.W.V.A., in Goddard & Marshall's Hall last Saturday night was not quite as well attended as ex- pected, owing to the inclement weath- MOUNT DENNIS ' Let us keep in our hearts his memory, Let us follow the path he trod, Though his footsteps grew very weary They led direct to God.

In loving memory of Francis Tre- mayne, tor forty,two years Rector of Christ Church, Mimico, Ont. We laid, him "to rest, our dear old friend, Near a loved one, gone before, And we mourn, with the mourners, a blameless life, God keeps it forevermore.

His only Christmas in captivity was brightened a bit when the Germans allowed the, burgomister of the little Belgian town to bring cake, wine and cigarettes from their own scanty store "We probably had more authentic news regarding the armistice than the British people, and during those last few days we warmed up toward our captors), to serve our ends, of course, but after our last meal there wasn’t a dollar's worth of value left in camp. The piano, for which we paid some 800 marlis, we slid down four flights ot concrete stairs, and then gathered up the pieces and burned thein. With only two hours' notice we left the camp on Decem- ber 10th. The next day brought the sight of the Dutch frontier, and the welcome we received made us quite choky. But at Hull, England, we re- ceived such a welcome as only a Brit- ish naval port could give, and as we came into the shore on lighters from the transport a message from the King and Queen was read to us and each man presented with a copy." Lieut. Erskine Ogden has all the chevrons obtainable in the war. He left with the Queen's Own Rifles in August, 1914, went to France as a des- .patch rider in February, 1915, where he won the Military Medal for bravery under fire, It was Just before the Vimy Ridge fighting in 1917 that_he joined the old R. F. C., and had only seven weeks' flying when forced to land on December 5, 1917. V to seventy-five allied prisoners who were halted there. . At this prison the most successful effort to escape was staged. On the night of July 23rd._.last twenty-nine men passed through a tunnel they had been digging tor several months, butyonly ten men reached the tron, tier. The tunnel was 22 feet below the surface. The last man passed through Just at daybreak, and was obliged to hide the following day, only to be caught later. Col. Itathbourne, a British officer, was the first man to reach the frontier. Being a com- paratively new prisoner, Lieut. Ogden was not in on this plan. One injustice practised at the Holtz- minden camp was the compelling of the officers to pay tor their foodral- though they scarcely tOuched it, and as a result of the Red Cross parcels coming so regularly the Germans be- gan preparing less and less food. The prisoners put up a fight to be allow- ed to be issued raw rations that they might cook them in a platable way, but the only conciliation to the rank stew served out was the cooking of potatoes separately. Sixty marks per month was the pay of a prisoner sub- altern. "We were British dogs and sub- jected to every petty restriction to ag- gravate us and give cause for offence, which would be severely punished. The guards, Lieut. Ogden stated, were very susceptible to bribes, and would sell their souls for food or clothing. Ten' shillings could be obtained tor three-penny bits of soap. Prisoners preparing to escape took this way of securing current money. British peo- ple were ingenious in efforts to smug- gle forbidden articles, and a complete map of the surrounding country ar- rived in a nutshell, and a set of chess men each contained a tiny compass. _ Lieut .Erskine Ogden, R. A. F., son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Ogden, Mimi- co, arrived home last week after a year spent in German prison camps. He was located tor the most part at Holzminden, "which, with other camps in the Duchy of Brunswick, was un- der the control of Capt. Niemeyer and General Von Harnisch, where between five and six hundred British and co- lonial prisoners were interned. _ RETURNED PRISON TELLS OF HIS EXPERIENCES GOD'S GOOD MAN 100 PAIRS MITTS AND GLOVES-Reduce 100 LBS.
