Dr. Long, a former pastor, came, back and gave a most delightful travel talk on his recent trip to France and Belâ€" gium. ‘The theme and pictures carâ€" ried many a heart back to war, days when, Zeebruge, Mons, Hill 70 and others were â€" household . words. and peopled with Canadians. When speaking of these he paid high tribute to the brave men who had foughtâ€"and fell in defense of home and country. Among the many interesting views were ‘the cemeteries and graves; here he showed the loving care bestowed upon the sleeping heroes by our French and Belgium, friends, the grass being neatly cut and trimmed, while flowers bloomed in profusion and in every case the best possible attention has been given; one picture showed was of special interest to all, that of his son,‘ Pte. Arthur Long, who fell in the great war and cast a shadow over the happy home of Dr. Long and his family during their residence in Weston. Leaving the war stricken arca and its array 6f guns, armoured cars and shells, he pictured the inhabitants in their brave endeavor to rebuild and rekindle the home fires, and in all probability the words of the song "Keep the Home Fires Burning," nevâ€" er impressed itself so forcibly upon the mind as when listening to the brave fight put. up by the Belgians and the French in their love of their beloved country, wantonly destroyed by the ruthless hand of the enemy; their ancestral buildings, works of art, pillaged and destroyed, which can never be replaced and in many cases is this true of even the home of the peasant. He has been forced to seek a livelihood in some other part. Comâ€" ing down to later days; he gaye a view of the Triumphal Arch and tihe Room at Versailles with the various chairs occupied by the members of the Peace Conference. Rev. Mr. Walwyn occupied the chair, and the musical program for the evening was conâ€" tributed by Miss Edith Moore of Toâ€" ronto, Misses Clarise Packbam and Cecila Macklin, soloist, and Mr. A. Garratt, violinist, of Weston. At the close a hearty vote of thanks, moved by Mr. Cross and seconded by Mr. Brown was tendered Dr. Long and the artists who had contributed so generâ€" ously to the enjoyment of the large number present. Next Monday evenâ€" ing will be under the direction of the Missionary Department, in charge of Miss Dorothy Pearson. The address is to be given by W. Mather.

HUMBERVALE and daughter, of Dunâ€" with Mrs. John Scott UV The Navy League of Canada is, as everyone krkows, one of the most helpful associations promoted during war times, Conditions, and even now when peace reigns, the effects of the confliet are not over, and our sailors suffer many privations from their loyal service to their country.. /The Navy League is supported by voluntary contributions, which in the past has been raised in various ways, such as concerts, tag days and house to house canvass.. Weston Branch has now decided to put the matter fairly before the people, and ask for a generous support from the public, each individual giving as they see best. A. few of the aims of the league might kere be given in order to show the need of loyal support. The sea by God‘s grace has brought our Empire into being and upon the sea we must live and prosper or die and be forgotten. A nation‘s ships and crews are her best ambassadors abroad, and her most profitable investments and effective\ edugational factor at home., "British supremacy upon the sea is essential if the honor and integrity of Canada and the Empire are to be assured." These and many other important facts might be given if space would. permit, all of which goes to show that the Navy must be maintained â€" and\ thesailar. and his family cared for, and given the propfise of help in case pof sickness and death. The local committee are asking that any who wish to help in this big noble work will send in their contributions to one of the following committee who have been appointed for the Weston district Mr. Adams or NMr. (Jones) present, the bank : of Montreal, Weston. The local executive have put much thought and labor on their task, sending out a. circulalr'd letter to the residents of Weston and vicinity, with full confidence that a ready response would be forthconting. The Local Committee Is Asking For Loyal Support in Annual Campaign for Funds, Do not disappoint them, but give what assistance you can, no matter how small, remembering that the little grains of sand make the beach and the little drops of water the mighty ocean, each tiny pebble and glistening dewdrop contributing: to the whole. Your dimes and coppers will into dollars grow, thus providing comfort for the maimed and sorrowâ€" stricken sailor lads. Westonâ€"Goal, McKissock; defence right, Hassard; left, Mather; forward right, Brown; centre, Griffith; left, Sims; subs, Tyrwhitt and Varcoe. Referee, E. Wortley, Toronto. The teams lined up as follows: St. Simon‘sâ€"Goal, Johnson; deâ€" fence right, Pugsley; defence left Hickson; forward right, Carroll; cenâ€" tre, Taylor; left, Forsythe; subs,. Lee and MacDonald. The Beavers are playing real hockey and should be congratulated upon, their showing §o far.. They have met several fast city teams on, the local rink,, playing six games without a loss. The boys of Mr. A. Walwyn‘s Sunâ€" day School Class held a jolly skating party at the Weston rink on Tuesday night, and from there to the home of Herbie Bull, and enjoyed a few hours with games and music. Lunch was then served and) the boys departed for home. The return game was to be played on St. Simon‘s ice Monday night, but owing to the weather, had to be postâ€" poned. The local boys seem confiâ€" dent that they will overcome the threedgoal lead and pass into the next round of the city championship. In the second period the Saints gcored on a neat pass and in the final period they ran in two counters. THE NAVY LEAGUE Mrs. F. Miller and son of Goderich are visiting her mother, Mrs. Jones, Church Street. The Home Baking Sale on Saturday last, under the direction of the Old Presbyterian Ladies‘ Aid, was a great success.. The tea room was also the centre of attraction, many enjoying a social visit over the teacup and dainty menu served <by the ladies. Net proceeds amounted to $29. The | local boys , worked â€" hard throughout the three periods, but could not seem to break through the defence of their heavier opponents. In the first! period neither team scorâ€" ed, although both teams played strenâ€" uously.. The checking was hard, too hard for thf referee‘s pleasure, as sevâ€" eral penalties were inflicted. Rev. Mr. Walwyn is giving a short series of sermons on "What is Truth."‘ Next Sunday evening his subject will be Christ‘s words, "I am the Truth," and the question, "How is Christ the Truth." A hearty invitation is given to all interested in the truth. The proposed .. divisiion . ofâ€". the township of YÂ¥ork, which will soon be decided by the, Ontario Legislature, received a sewere setback at a large meeting of the ratepayers held in Maple Leaf Public School on Wednesâ€" day night.\ Only seven votes were reâ€" corded in favor of secession and not one of these seven votes were restâ€" dents of this section. The district is almost unanimous that noâ€" change shallybe made. Reeve F. H. Miller and Second Deputyâ€"Reeve Thos. Goddard gave lengthy addresses on the petiâ€" tion that has been forwarded to the Legislature. Although many quesâ€" tions were asked by three of the peâ€" titioners for the change, they declined the repeated invitations of the chairâ€" man to address the meeting. Mr. Rueâ€" ben Phillips read several clippings from newspapers regarding expendiâ€" tures and Reeve Miller replied.. A peâ€" tition is now in circulation for signaâ€" tures opposing the petition.

Hockey League semiâ€"finals the local team was defeated by St. Siâ€" mon‘s by three goals. St. Simon‘s were undoubtedly the heavier team, and the soft condition.of the ice &énâ€" abled them to use their weight to advantage.
