Mrs. Fred Hill and daughter Miss Bessie Hill returned home, last Friday after spending two weeks at Lake Roseau. Mrs/a, W. Howell and grandson, Master William Broonhead are visit- ing with Mrs. Gunther at London. On Sunday last the scholars ot the Church of the Goood Shepherd paid their annual visit to the Queen Mary Hospital and presented the children of that institution with flowers and fruit. Following this the usual out door service was held. On Saturday, Sept. 25th, a, bigfielc1 day is being arranged for under the auspices of the Mount Dennis Fire Brigade. One of the big features will be the York Township Cup competi- tion open to all brigades in York Township. The proceeds of the Olde Countrie Faire held a few weeks ago by the Churrh of the Good Shepherd were sufficient to clear off the. church in- debtedness. ' ' . Work on the new Presbyterian church is 'rogressing favorably and opening services will be held in a few weeks' time. As a surprise to the pastor, Rev. U. N. Chantler, on his return from his holidays, he found the church had all been redecorated, and cleaned. Work has also been started on the new pap- sonage, the site of which was donated by Mr. E. Barton. The regular meeting of Etobicoke Council was held in the Township Hall on Monday with a good attendance, Reeve Jackson in the chair. Routine business was put through and the fol- lowing deputations given a hearing. A strong representation ot the Long Branch ratepayers, headed by Mr. Owens, asked for the water area to be extended from the westerly limits of New Toronto to the Etobicoke Riv- er, taking in the Eastwood property and the new sub-divisions in that sec- tion. The petition was fully signed and after a, thorough discussion of the subject their request was granted. They also put up a strong plea tor additional lights in the Eastwood sec- tion, but this was refused as the Hy- dro cannot supply the necessary pow- er. A grant was asked for the annual Long Branch Fair and given; also one for Thistletown Fair. Mr. Parker, of Sunny Lea, asked for road improve- ments in that section, pointing out that several of the roads had no work put on them for the past ten or twelve years and consequently. were in bad shape. Christie Hill, he pointed out, was dangerous. The Council promised attention to this matter and the toi- lowing resolutions were passed: Moved by Tier and Gardhouse that the tend- ers of C. H. Burgess for $17,361.15 debentures of the Township of Etobi- coke bearing interest at the rate of $98.07 and accured interest be accept- ed. Moved by Mercer and Tier that the Treasurer be instructed to forward a cheque to H. Harkness, treasurer of Long Branch thepayers’ Association, for $50 tor the orig Branch Fall Fair, also to J. C. Steckley $10 for Thistle- town School Fair. . Gardhouse and Tier that My. Geo. Farr be paid the sum of $45, the value of three lambs killed by dogs and Mr. Gideon Silverthorne $36, the value of three sheep destroyed by dogs. Moved by Gardhouse and Tier, whereas application had been made from time to provide for a water sup- ply in the Long Branch area and whereas in 1917 E. A. James was re- quested to pregame plans and report the scheme and the service tor the area, and whereas the report Was re- ceived and filed until after the war, and whereas new applications are be, ing made for water in these areas, therefore be it resolved that E. A. James be requested to describe a water area covering this district as provided for by a special act re chap- ter 81, George V, so that the property owners may have a knowledge of the district to be served and have an op- portunity of informing this Council as to their wishes in reference to a water works system. Curried. Moved by Mercer and Appleby, that the Township solicitor be instructed to prepare a By-law for the next meet- ing of this Council setting apart Etobi- coke Water ,Area No. 2 as described by E. A, James, for water purposes and that he arrange a hearing before the Ontario Railway Board, after the second reading of the By-law and before the By-Iaw received a third reading and he provide for the nec, essary advertising therewith.

TO SUPPLY GOODYEAR MOUNT DEN N [H RICHVIEEV ISLINGTON I On Sunday: the 12th inst. the death occurred at the. Private Pavilion of the Toronto General Hospital of Mar. MAJOR GALBRAITH .br rodugrasrdartoraith, M.C., after an illness of over tour months, which was aggravated by service overseas. The deceased, who was 27 years of age, was the youngest son of the late John Galbraith. dean of the Faculty of Science. Toronto University. At the outbreak of the war, he joined the Mississauga Horse and, obtaining a commission, was appointed to the ?5th Battalion, which was then being or- ganized. Graduating with honors as a Civil Engineer in May, 1915, after' a laborious winter (1914) in drilling, he came out to Weston to raise men tor Canada's protection and duty. Through the kindness of the Mayor, Dr. Charl- ton and Council.-tho Town Hall and parks of the town were upen for re- cruiting purposes, and about 100 men enlisted in a short time. These men Douglas Galbraith took to Niagara where they were drilled and given in- struction in Machine Gun work. In September, 1915, he took a draft of 1000 men, including Weston and Mt. Dennis boys, to England, and early in 1916 went to France as an officer in the 6th Machine Gun Company. Barring Toronto, we believe that Wes, ton was one of the places that recruit- ed, largest war. In 1917 he transferred to the 2nd Battalion Railway Troops, fox‘merly the 127th Battalion, York Rangers, as an engineer officer. He remained with this unit until the end of the war, at which time he was command- ing the North York Company, with the rank ot) major. He won his Mili- tary Cross in one of the most -daring engagements ot the campaign in 1918. In March of that year when the Ger- mans broke through towards Amiens, the battalion to which he belonged was part ot the scratch force gathered together by Brigadier-General Carey, that stopped the drive. Major Gal- braith acted as machine gun officer ot the battalion on that occasion and with Lieut.-Col. F. F. Clarke, LY.S.O., his commanding officer, secured enough parts of Lewis guns to bring the battalion's equipment up to sixteen guns. - Throughout his servgce in France he was unWounded, although he had sew eral narrow escapes. He was in the fierce fighting at Courcelette on the Somme and was almost cut off by the German offensive near St. Quentin when the British Fifth Army was driv- en back. His father died in July, 1914, at Go Home, and his mother, while her son was on active service, he receiving intimation of her death in the first paper that he read upon reaching Halifax on his way home. The young lady to whom he wasen- gaged was instantly killed at the hos- pital at Doullens. where she was nurs- ing when it was bombed by a Ger- man squadron. He is survived by one brother, John, of Seattle, Wash., and one sister, Mrs. F. S. Jamieson, 150 Albany Avenue, Toronto. William Galbraith, of Prince Albert, and Thomas Galbraith, of Wes- ton, are uncles. Mr. W. E. Watson, Malton, Ont., an- nounces the engagement of his eldest daughter, Bessie A.

A remarkable incident of an Easter Lily blooming twice in one season is to be seen at the home of the Misses Forsyth, Main Street. Last Easter the plant had three blooms and later the bulb was planted outdoors. At prt- sent there are three perfect blooms on the plant, which has also grown much taller than 'the original bulb.
