DURHAI. ONT" THURSDAY October 3!, i912. Mr. Tookey, who is a director of the company, and also a salesâ€" agent for the product, spoke of the high opinion in which thd National brand was held by tho builders'and contractors, who had used it and knew its quality. “Lest we forget.” Mr. John A. Graham was called near close of the meeting, when he was honored with. an address and presentation. The address was read by Mr. George Harbottle, and after expressing regret that Mr. Graham was forced to resign his position on account of- trouble with his eyes, the presentation was made by Mr. E. Goodwin, and was made by Mr. E. Goodwin. The present given was a most beautiful cut glass water ser’vice, consisting of a magnificent pitcher and a' dozen glasses. The stand was a silver mounted‘ plateau, being a beveled plate glass mirror, the mounting of the most handsome design. Mr. Gra- A Short speeches on the different toasts were made by Mr. Doolittle, Dr. Colville, Mr. Tookey and Mr, Calder, four directors of the company, who all spoke highly of the employees, and emphasized the harmony that existed during the season between them and the management. They all looked hopefully forward to better times for the cement industry, and the President, in his address, pointed out that a large slice of the debt with which the year‘s opera- tions had commenced had now been wiped off, notwithstanding the very low price of cement dur- ing the present year. During the early ‘years of the mill’s operation the average prices were. about $2.20, now the prices are not much more than half that amount. Three reductions of 10c., 5c., and 10¢. per barrel, or 25c. a barrel in all had been made this year. The 250. reduction on the year's output would reduce 1‘18 com- pany‘s income by about $66,000. This added to the reduction alâ€" ready made in the debt, would leave the plant in pretty good shape financially.

Mr. Calder, in his most unas- suming \manner, occupied the head of the table, and after the inner cravings were fully supplied he became a most efficient toastâ€" master. It was an informal gath- ering, and as no printed or other programs had been furnished for the occasion, the toastmaster took all sorts of liberties With his guests, and made his attacks with- out warning. The man who could sing, dance, recite, speak or play a musical instrument, was impar- tially selected, and an excellent program was the result. M‘r. Calder, President of the National Portland Cement Co., en- tertained the employees at a sup- per in the Hahn House on Thurs» day evening last. A little after eight o’clock, nearly a hundred of the brawny Workers were assem- bled for the event, and as the clock pointed to half-past, all filed in to the spacious dining room, Where the tables were tastily Spread with the most tempting edibles. The menu consisted of oysters, fowl, and all the other good things, and it in only right to say that the culinary depart- ment of the house gave evidence of well-developed skill in pro- viding such articles of diet in the most appetizing manner.
