nc P bo ,%‘4‘.-% Xab Mr. Pearce and Sharkey begged to ‘be excused, while Tommy Lenehan, ‘known to all, told of his joy at once more standing on Canadian soil, esâ€" pecially that of his home town. Solâ€" diers were not made for talking, but he wanted f,stsay he was proud of his Canadian birth and for the part they had played in the war. Miss Bessic Macklin then favored the audience with a weill rendered solo. Following this the councillors presented the boys awith their medals.. Reeve Gardhouse in his remarks said it was the proudest moment in his life. A few days ago while in the State of Illinois he saw the Americans selling buttons with this inscription: "We Won the War." He wanted to say â€" it was boys like those present, and many of their brothers who were sleeping on Flanâ€" ders fields who had won the war, and they were not bragging about it, but had done their duty silently and nobly. Councillors . Macklin, James Gardâ€" house, Scythes and Wright, each in his own particular strain, paid tribute to the boys, thanking them for the serâ€" vices rendered so heartily and bravely, which had made it possible for us to dwell in peace, and freeing us from. the rule of the despotic Hun. Councilâ€" lor Wright thought a fitting honor to Mrs. Allen, who had given three of her boys, two never to return and the other one impaired in health,. would be the renaming of John Street to Allen Avenue, this street chosen on account of another street in the town bearing the name of St. John‘s Road. Out of a population of 2200, some 280 boys had gone over. Of these twentyâ€" seven had returned and received the medals presented by the town as a slight remembrance. Twenty had paid the supreme «sacrifice. Seventeen medals had been given to‘the nearest of kin and the other three would be forwarded in a few days. Pte. Sdinsbury told how pleased he was to return again. He had not been in any great danger, and if he was homeâ€"sick, what must the boys who had braved the horrors of it all sufâ€" fer. He spoke in glowing terms of the work of the Y. M. C. A. and the Red Cross, and ended by saying that if any one comes to you with a grouch about these institutions don‘t believe them. At the close of the Speeches a banâ€" quet was given the boys. Never in the history of Weston has tliere been such an enjoyable evening as that spent by the firemen at the home of Mr./ and Mrs. Charles Danâ€" kert, Main Street, when they tendered to the Brigade a complimentary dinâ€" ner, fit for a king, as you will see by the following menu: Cream of Tomato soup, Celery, Stuffed Young Chicken (Buff â€" Wyandotte), Bread â€" Sauce, Creamed Potatoes, Green Peas, Beet Salad, Plum Pudding and. Brandy Sauce, Cheese and Biscuits, Coffee. The table was beautifully decorated with flowers and red ribbon and at each plate was a dinner card with a fireman‘s name, to designate his place at the festive board. After each fireman had done justice to the sumpâ€" tuous repast the Chief on behalf of the Brigade presented the hostess with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, which were very gratefully received, and in a few brief remarks made a very fitting reply. Then the boys drank to the health and happiness of the host and hostess, after which they reâ€" tired to an adjoining room while a transformation was taking place. On ‘entering the banquet room the tables were arranged for progressive euchre, which was indulged in to the full by the boys. The prize winners were Wm. Shields, Walter Murray and Ern. Ella. After the prizes were given out a hearty vote of thanks was tendered Mr. and Mrs. Dankert for their hosâ€" pitality, and three rousing cheers were given, as only boys can give them. ‘"They are jolly good fellows‘" > was sung and the enjoyable evening was brought to a close. . As each memâ€" ber of tht Brigade wended his way home he took with him a new.picture hung on memory‘s wall of one of the brightest times of his life. Corporal Wallace MacLean, the ngxt speaker, said how needless it was for him to say he was glad to be back home. But a prisoner‘s life was no cinch, and *he wanted to forgot the horrors of it all. « On Tuesday night Weston citizens turned out en masse to officially exâ€" tend to the men who had returned home at different intervals during the past few months, a royal welcome. The local band, composed of bandsâ€" men of former years, headed the torchlight procession, followed by a large number of autos carrying their full compliment of passengers. The first cars were reserved for the guests of honor. â€"Cheer upon cheer greeted the men as they entered the Municipal Hall and took their places upon the platform, accompanied by the memâ€" bers of the town council. The chair was taken by the Mayor, who gave a brief outline of the work accomplishâ€" ed by each of the boys, their date of enlistment and return home. The men thus honored were Lieut. John P. Alâ€" len, Corp. Wallace MacLean, Pte. Fred Sainsbury, Pte. Chas. Sharkey, Pte. Fred Pearce, Sergt. Thomas Lenehan. Another boy, Pte.: Wm. Rollins, at . present undergoing treatment at Whitâ€" by Hospital, was unavoidably detainâ€" ed. In a few words the Mayor on beâ€" half of the citizens extended the welâ€" coming hand to each, and closed by paying a tribute of sympathy to the bereaved whose loved ones had paid the supreme sacrifice. Miss Clarice Packham then sang very feelingly ‘"Home Again,"‘ the audience joining in the chorus. Lieut. Allen was then called upon. Rising to his feet he said: "To say I am glad to be home again expresses my sentiments briefâ€" ly, but I hope explicitly. Many of you remember me as a boy selling the daily papers, and I see before me many with whom I went to school." Briefly outlining his promotions, he came to a point where he had under his control 55 men, and he said he felt he had to ‘measure up to. the standâ€" point of a man‘s man. As he‘lay wounded on the field, a shell burst over him, and turning his head he saw the dying smile of a soldier. He had saved his life. This was how the Canâ€" adians died. He thanked the people of Weston for their remembrances, saying how they cheered many an achâ€" ing heart. The many friends of Harvey Moody, formerly of Weston, will be glad to hear that he is making satisfactory progress to â€" recovery after a very severe attack of influenza, although still confined to the hospital â€"at Weyburn, Sask. Mr. and Mrs. Moody went West last spring and have been ‘@ngaged in farming during the sumâ€" mer. : % 0 & wWESTON EXTENDS WELCOME TO HER RETURNED MEN PAGE FOUR FIRE BRIGADE BANQUETED In the meantime traffic bound west of Port Credit should use the Dundas, road to Cooksville, and then south to the Highway.

About forty feet of the temporary Etobicoke bridge was swept down by the ice and water of the creek at an early hour this morning. The new bridge is not nearly completed, and the commission will be obliged to repair the old bridge to allow trafâ€" fic through at an early date. Chief Engineer S. A.

Deceased was the only son of the late Mr. Wm. and Mrs. May of Weston. He came to Weston when a small boy and was educated in the Weston schools. He then entered business with his father and for a number of years operated a lumber business under the firm _ name _ of Wm. May & Son. He was a member of Weston Council and School Board for some years. Of late ill health has caused him to retire from active life and late in the fall he removed to Toâ€" ronto. In religion he was a Method:â€" ist. His widow and one daughter, Reâ€" va, are left to mourn his loss. His mother and two sisters, Miss Mary and Mrs. Strachen of Toronto, also surâ€" vive.

The Women s Missionary Society of the Methodist Church met at the parâ€" sonage one afternoon last week, and made Mrs. S. Collell (mother of Rev. Mrs. Chantler) a life member, also presenting _her with the membership pin. An interesting meeting was held in Weston at Dr. Irwin‘s home last Friâ€" day night, interesting in that it saw the organization of the Westmount Improvement Association and judging by the enthusiastic way this society was started, it bids fair to be sucâ€" cessful in every way. The objects and aims of the association are, first, for the improvement of the estate by the residents themselves; secondly, to inâ€" spire a feeling of goodwill, friendship and to foster the coâ€"operative spirit in the community. The idea is someâ€" what after the garden city plan, inâ€" asmuch that it inspires every one to make their homes and gardens look as nice as possible. It is proposed to award prizes during the year for the neatest and prettiest homes. Other matters to be taken up will be the social side, and the subject of lights, roads, water, etc., and if the council won‘t do the work then the associaâ€" tion will do it themselves. Westâ€" mount is excellently situated for a plan of this kind, being entirely to itself. It has its own small public park, which skirts the river, which could at a small cost be made one of the most delightful spots in the disâ€" trict. Quite a community has sprung up in recent years, and about thirty members have already joined. Dr. Irwin, the owner, has taken a personâ€" al interest in this estate and has made quite a number of improvements at his own expense, such as the building of a foot bridge over the river, plantâ€" Another meeting will be held on Friday evening to complete all arâ€" rangements. â€" .
