KNOX, NORMANBY, HAD GOOD SCHOOL CONCERT We sympathize with Mr. Hamilton and family in their bereavement. Mrs. Hamilton was a woman held in the highest regard, and her death at a comparatively early age is to he regretted. She was a member of Knox United church, and the fun- eral services, conducted by her pas- tor. Rev. W. H. Smith. assisted by Rev. Mr. Kendall of Elk Lake. an old friend of the family, will take place from her late home in Glen- elg today at 2 o’clock. Interment will be made in Maplewood ceme- tery. Besides her husband, Mrs. Hamil- ton leaves two daughters, Ma‘s. Murray Ritchie (Maud), at whose home she died. Mrs. Farr Lawrence (Mary). of Egremont, and one son, John (3.. at home. A daughter, Maggie, died fourten years ago. She leaves three brothers, George at Brookdale, Man., who arrived here Monday evening too late to see her alive, James in Winnipeg and John at Ellaton, Ont. Two sisters, Mary, and Mrs. William French of Elora predeceasednher some years age. -_ Mrs. Hamilton, who was in her sixtieth year, was born in Aberdeen- shire, Scotland, and came to Canada when a child of six years of age. The family settled near Fergus, where she was married in 1886 be Mr. David Hamilton. The young couple moved to their old home- stead on the 22nd of Egremont where they resided until 1920, when they purchased the.

Four weeks ago Mrs. Hamilton, who had not been feeling well for some time past. left her home in Glenelg, about a. mile east of the corporation, to Visit with her daughter, Mrs. Rit- chie. She had been there only a few days when she was seized with paralysis. and from the first, little hope was held out for her recovery. She. however, apparently regained strength for a time, but on Friday last sank into a stupor and on Sun- day morning, suffered another stroke from which she passed away that same eypmng.

She said no one could live by themselves. and we must try to contribute our share to good _citizenship._ 7_ HA8 RENTED PA“ AND ‘ 5The new officers elected for the coming year were: President, Mrs. Neil McLean; Vice-President, Mrs. James Ewen; Secretary..'l‘reasure.r, Mrs. D.

While there was quite a good musical program, the features of the evening were addresses by the four resident clergvy'men, Revs. Taylor, Peters, Smith and Whealen, on Ire- land, England, Scotland and Canada. At the close of each address, in which the speaker dwelt at length on the good qualities of the nation- ality he r esented, and. at the same time a mpted to forget or ignore the .qualities not so good, apprOpriate songs were sung by vocal artists on the program. Despite a downpour of rain last Thursday night. Knox United church was crowded to capacity for their fowl supper and entertainment, and the big crowd that gathered was hot. disgppoiuted. ”Commencing ‘gt 6 o’clock and continuing up till nearly 830, an army of cooks and waitresses were kept on the move to serve the throngs that gathered in the basement for the first part of the enjoyment, a magnificent roost fowl supper prepared by the ladtes o! the congregation. Following the supper, the crowd repaired to the auditorium of the church to listen to an interesting program, just a little diflerent from those usually put on at this kind of gathering. The chairman for the evening was the Hon. Dr. Jamieson who, after a few remarks, called upon the audience to rise and sing the doxology.

Enthusiastic Meeting Held at Flesh- erton Last Saturday When Final Arrangements Were Made. SCHEDULES ARRANGED FOR DEBATING CLUBS The objective for all Ontario has been fixed at $500,000, and it is stated that if every hydro user lio- nates one dollar each, this objec- tive will be reached. Such prom- inent men as George Wright, Tor- onto Hydro and Transportation Commissnoner. are behind the scheme, and the result over the pm- vince will be watched with interest. On Tuesday, an enthusiastic meet.- ng was held in Toronto, attended by representatives from almost every I hydro municipality in Ontario, when final arrangements were made tor the conducting of a drive for funds all over the province and, in com- mon with sister municipalities, the Durham Hydro Commission have entered into the scheme. As in other campaigns of this nature in the past, the Commission have hopes that the citizens here will rise to the occa- sion and when the campaign ends on the 28th inst, the town villi stand well up amongst the munici- palities of its size. 0 For years past, its founder and supporter never forgot this child of his creation. and on his deathbed and shortly before he passed on, he expressed himself: “To the maple of Ontario I entrust these poor suf- ferelrs from tuberculosis, who, in their affliction, turn with anxious hearts to Queen Alexandra Sanator- ium. God forbid that their poverty shall ever bar the door. ~ My course is ending. Carry on!” The sanatorium was the pet hobby of Sir Adam and Lady Beck dur- ing their lifetime and to which they contributed many thousands of dol ars, and of which Sir Adam was the founder and president. That it is a worthy institution and worthy cause goes without saying, as it has been commended by experts as “one of the finest, most ideally sit- uated and best equpped on the Am- erican continent.” In accordance with the expressed Wish of the late Sir Adam Beck, Durham Hydro Commission will on November 20 commence on a cam- paign in town for the securing of funds from the citizens here for the creation of an endowment fund for the support of the Queen Alexandra Sanatorium in London, a senatorium devoted to the treatment of tuber- culosis among the residents of On- tario and the country at large.
