We notice that many who leave Durham for the “fields that are green far away” are glad to return, after chasing the phantom for a time.- Ever since the war began our town has stood up well, and when the in- dustries in other places were clos- ed, our industries here were kept open at a risk of making little or no profit. Many of us thought then that Durham was all right, com- paratively. Our furniture factory and cement plant helped to keep the wolf from the door, and we are thankful to think they did. We don’t want to forget their efforts to carry us over an 8 emergency. Now that thousands of men have left the country and the demand for labor is greater, and wages higher, there will be a tendency to cry down the home town. There may be a day when many who have left will be glad to return. Owen Sound. was incorporated 60 years ago this month. The popula- tion of the then village of Syden- ham had reach-ed 1,945, and it was thought advisable to have it in- corporated as a town though the population was a few short of the 2,000 required by law. The name was changed to Owen Sound and incorporation was effected under a Special act of parliament. The late Thos. Gordon was ap- pointed town clerk and it was provided that the town or Owen Sound should come into existence the first of the following January. A letter from a citizen explains the decrease in Durham’s popula- tion, and attributes it to low Wages, lack of work, etc. Some mentioned as having gone else- where in his report have since re- Mr. Thos Fluker of Detroit is visiting friends here for a few days.

We publish in this issue a cor- rcspondence between The Detroit News and Mr. Wm. T. Gregory of Leamington. Ont. Mr. Gregory is an American-horn citizen, and though a resident of Leamington for years, we are not aware that he ever became a naturalized British subject. Be that as it may, Mr. Gregory is loyal to the core. and his sympathies to Britain and her allies are shown with no un- certain signs. Such articles as come from the pen of Mr. Gregory cannot fail to inspire the British people. We wish there were more of them. We make no apology for publishing the correSpondence in question and if by any word or action of ours We could get our readers to carefully peruse Mr. Gregory’s reply, We would feel amply repaid for any effort ”we have made. It is pithy and pointed and every sentence has a real sting in it. The continued wet weather is becoming serious. particularly with some of the farmers north of this vicinity.
