Funeral Held Yesterday The. funeral was held yesterday afternoon from the home on Garaâ€" i'rax'a street and was one of the largest ever seen in Durham. Held under the auspices of the Indepen- ydent Order of Odd Fellows and the Ltiaiiadian Urder of Foresters. there 'was a large attendance of the bre- thren of both lodges present. The service at the house was in ehurge of Rev, H. E. FiddHS of the Queen Street church. assisted by Rev. J. Taylor of the Baptist church, Rev. Mr. Fiddes had charge 01' the service at the grave. The large concourse of cars through the town was an impressive sight and was :1 tribute to the esteem in which the deceas- ed was held. as well as the, sincere sympathy felt for the sorrowing widow and family. For years. he was fireman and switchman on the larger railroad engine employed around the yard in placing cars, but early this spring took out his en ineer’s papers and was placed in c arge of the small- er engine used in conveying gravel from the steam shovel to the trestle. Was Born in Egremont The late Mr. McLean was born on thewsecond concession of Egremont in November, 1889. He was a son of Mrs. Hugh McLean and the late Mr. McLean of ‘this town, and with the exception of a very few years had spent his life in Durham. When only two or three years of age the family moved to Durham and since grown to manhood the deceased had been mostly employed in the place where he met his death, first with the National Portland Cement Comâ€" pany. and later with the Durham Stone Sand Company. Four. years ago he met with an accident. when a steel splinter deprived him of the sight oi one eye. The occurrence has thrown a gloom over the whole town. Its awful suddenness makes it hard to realize, and even as we write, know- ing too well that all is real, we somehow cannot seem to collect our thoughts sufficiently to adequately express our feelings. recovered.

A WORD TO SPORTS DURHAM, ONTARIO, CANADA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1. { The local Red Cross Society. ithrough the President. Mrs. D. EJamieson. wish to publicly thank Mr, John E. Russell of the Durham Stone Sand Company. for a cheque for $100 to he used toward the erec- tion of a new verandah at the Red Cross Hospital, here. Mr. Russell has, since its inception, been one of the most consistent supporters of this local institution and his in- terest and liberal donations are very much appreciated by the local Trustee Board and the ladies of the Red Cross, under whose direction the hospital is doing much good work in the community. ' iv ___v-- v-\ I‘vll U. There will be a Scotch Doubles tournament on Durham greens this Thurs da} afternoon. Last week at Arthur a rink com- posed of Dr. Pickering, Mrs.4Picker- ing. Miss Winnie Blyth and Mr. T. G. Goodchild won first prize, the ladies receiving cofi‘ee percolators an_r_i_ the men electric Irons. The local bowlers held a mixed tournament on the greens here last Thursday afternoon at which a good few hours’ sport was enjoyed. The prizes were a fancy plate for the ladies’ and handkerchief for the men, which were won by Mrs. Gil- bert McKechnie and Mr. J. S. Mc- Ihlaith, respectively. Among other business done by this church organization was the des- patching of a bale'of supplies for hospital use to the Presbyterial Sec- retary in Toronto. Besides the regular business session at, which a good deal of work was done. an excellent paper on “Christian Stewardship” was given by Mrs. J. H. McFayden. This prov- ed most interesting and instructive. The singing of a, hymn and the Lord’s Prayer in unison brought the meeting to a close. The Woman's Missionary Society of the Presbyterian church met Thursday of last week in the churCh basement in their regular session. Mrs. A. Derby was in the chair. The meeting opened with the singing of hymn, followed by prayer by Mrs. B. D. Armstrong. Mrs. Hepburn read the scripture lesson, which was followed by the Singing of an- other hymn. g; 1.: AWL- La.

To the west of town it is mostly in hand this week, but the section east is‘ not nearly so far advanced. Yesterday, too, was an ideal day and, turning warm, the moisture would do inestimable good to the root crops which have been badly scorched for the past four weeks of dry weather. While quite a lot of mm) is still in stook, with weather like yesterday, the rain would do practically no harm and it will not take long to make it ready forstoring. To put it in the vernacular, Monday and Tuesday’s rain “looked like a million dollars.” It was a nice rain; too, and ev- ery particle of it soaked right in and went to the place where it would do the most good. It was not. a downpour, but a steady fall, al- most what mi ht be called a drizzle. and during t e whole two days there was never a semblance of a heavy downpour. - The rain on Monday and Tuesday of this week was a most welcome visitor, and although there is con- siderable harvest out yet, the.farm- ing community is content, the con- tinued dry sp_ell doing much more damage than what the rain could do to crops already cut and being got ready for the barn.

Old riien‘ds dr‘ Mr. a'nd Mrs (Zapper in _Du1ham W111 join with us Enclosed with Mrs. Capper’s letter was a newspaper clipping telling of a number of boys of the town being guests of the Rotary club at Lewis- town at which Chester Dapper and his father, J. C. Cappcr were pre- sent, Among other things the newsâ€" paper report said: “Chester Clapper has completed the course in naval training in San Diego, Calif., and expects to enter the naval academy injnnapplist in September.” 1 Mrs. (Dapper tells us that her ela- 'cst boy, Chester. is in the U. S. Navy and has been since last April. He is signing up as machinist’s mate and was selected as one of eight in his company as eligible to take the examination at. Annapons Academy. Should he be successt‘m he will got four years at Annapolis and a naval lieutenant when he graduates. Reâ€" ferring to other members of her family. Mrs. Capper tells us that her daughter Florence, named after her mother no doubt. is in her last year in High school. Two other sons, William and Jasper are in various grades in High school. and the youngest girl, Joyce, starts to school this month. I We were pleased to learn that. she and her family are all well. The past summer has been a very hot one for Montana, and with an abundance of rain there are excep- tionally good crops this season. Mr. (Zapper ic connected with a portâ€" land cement company in Hanover, where the family has resided for a number of years, and on looking up our reference book we find that this flourishing town is in Fergus County, seven miles from Lewistown on the Great Northern Railway, is also on the Chicago, Milwaukee 6: St. Paul a little over 100 miles east of Great Falls. Mrs. Capper naturally cannot follow all the news that appears in these columns each week; since she resided here there have been many changes, but in a general sense she is able to follow the bigger events and keep up with the hap- penings. Though a resident of the State of Montana for quite a number of years, Mrs. J. C. Capper, a former resident here, and dau hter of Mrs. William Saunders of t is place, is still interested in Durham, her old home town, and in a letter received from her recently she says she would not like to be without the weekly visit of The Chronicle to her home, as it keeps her in touch with all that is transpiring in her native town. Rt. Hon. F. G. Kellaway, managing director 'of the Marconi Wireless Company in Great Britain, has just announced that the beam telephone between England and Canada will be available before this year is out.

The fire department of the town could get no information as to where the blaze was and when finally located proved to be a bon- fire in one of the local Hanover yards. ‘ When the chimney of Mr. Arthur McDonald’s house caught fire last Thursday night it. caused quite as much exeilement as even a burning chimney should expect. Some one no doubt, thought that the big blaze was more serious and sent in an alarm, but for a time we are told no one could tell exactly where the fire was in progress, and it was loâ€" ca_t_ed only with some difficulty. Fortunately No Damage Was Done Last Thursday Night From Minia- ture Conflagration in Southern Part of Town. Whether or not a Back Home Week will be celebrated in Durham in 1928 01‘ 1929 is not yet definitely decided. but, like Dr. Conkey, we think the idea is a good one. It is, however, a citizens’ movement. and as such will have to be advocated and run under a committee of the citizens elected for the purpose. CHIMNEY FIRE CALLED OUT BRIGADE The preliminary step in the big idea has already been taken with the meeting called by the citizens a week or so ago. A committee has been appointed to wait on the Town Council. explain the approximate cost, secure their coâ€"operation. and make further arrangements. This by no means assures the holding of the. Back Home \Veek, however. It. is but a preliminary step. The movement is at Citizens movement, and their full consent and co-Operaâ€" tion will have to be obtained before any further action can be taken. “V What a glorious week of remin- iscence, and what a week of note comparing between the Johnnies and the Nellies telling of what they have done during the Intervening years! The idea looks better the mane one thinks of it. abundant success in bringing about Its consummation.” There are doubtless many hun- dreds of old-time residents of this “section who, like Dr. Conkey, are only awaitin an invitation from this section 0 the country to come back and spend a week with their pals of many years ago. And what a glorious re-union it would be! We don’t think there is a town in On- tario whose sons and daughters have travelled farther afield than those from Durham and the country immediately surrounding. They are scattered all over goodness knows where, and a gathering such as a Back Home Week Would bring them together from all quarters of the globe. Evidently some of the old- residents of this section ar tensely interested in the announce- ment that Durham may hold an Old Home Week next year, and already The Chronicle has received a com- munication’from one of our readers in the United States, Dr. John A. time bably be followed. Since going to Indianapolis many years ago, the Doctor, who is a Priceville old boy, has been a continuous reader of The Chronicle and is still very much in- terested in Durham, Glenelg, Price- ville and the contiguous territory. He says: “I will try and be there, but whether I can or cannot, it is a mighty fine thought, and wish you abundant success in bringing about its consummation.” “BACK HOME WEEK” SUGGESTED AS NAME HAD [I'IFGBR AMPUTATBD Homd W03]?- hen'Yéar, ., 1927 y t .

The game as a. whole must be considered something of a disapâ€" pointment, but turned out just about Manager Saunders inform- od us it would when the team r9- turned from Fergus after their game there. At one time the Dughams, \‘vl‘fi ".A-‘l\ L ,executive had ordered it, there was inothing else for it and the game went on. Had almost any other day been selected there» would undoubt- edly have been a larger crowd. But no blame can be attached to the Ex- lecutive. They did the best they knew, but are not conversant with the sporting ideas of this part of the country. Down around Toronto and in other parts of the province Saturday is considered the best day to pull off these affairs from an at- tendance standpoint, but up in this centre of the farming community where Saturday afternoon and evening is “shopping day” it is a different story. However. there was quite a large crowd present and there are no complaints that we haye heard. ' 7 ( Vt hen they defeated the fast tra~ velling Fergus midget team here last Saturday afternoon by 11 to l, and won the round of the two games played by 15 goals to 7, the Durham midget team for the first time in lacrosse history brought an Ontario championship to Dur- ham and incidentally showed that, despite persistent rumors lacrosse is not yet dead in this neck of the woods. Their victory is all the more not- able when it is considered that “the kids” did it all themselves. During this season and for a number of 'seasons past, Durham has been any- where but on the lacrosse map. Last spring, so far as the usual bunch who control sporting afi'airs in town was concerned, there was to be no lacrosse here this summer, but the youngsters got together, made their own entry in the 0.A.L. A.. and as a culmination of their efforts they now have the champ~ ionship honors tucked away for the 1927 playing season.
