And the members of this greater task, a larger torch that those resting in Flanders' Fields have hand- ed to us and we must, it we' keep faith with them, hold it high. It is the duty and obligation to each do our part to make such another catastrOphe as the Great War impouible. Grating! {acts and figures, the speaker showedl the enormous waste both of men and money entailed in the Great War, and also blamed the cause of the present} economic crisis on that great struggle. He claimed it was the duty of every-: one to help out those suflering and in‘ need as a result of this present crisis? and said that this was the torch which: is ours to hold high. i thnt time was a command to continue the quarrel with the enemy, the speak- church gave the address and very ably rammed this important. part.

Winter of Countess street, were sorry to hear on Tuesday of his sudden serious ill- ness. Returning home from work at noon, he went uptairs and was suddenly stricken, falling unconscious to the floor, where he was found immediately by his wife and son. It will be remem- bered that Mr. Winter was seriously injured last August when struck in the face by a piece of wood flying from the lathe he was operating at the Durham Furniture Co. plant, resulting in the loss of an eye. It is unfortunate that he should be thus stricken when appar- ently on the way to full recovery. 1 May Seek Mayor-any There is a rumor in town that Reeve Bell may be a candidate for the mayor- alty this year. We understand, also, that Mayor Murdock has his eye on the reeveship. In the council everything so far is quiet and likely will remain so until the nomination. Durham never was a town that had many war rumors. These things seem to “break” after the nomination, and instead of “the last awful night” of recent political history this town takes a whole week of it. We may talk, but we will know little until after the electors have made their nominations and the speeches have been delivered. there is no telling what the nominat- ions will bring forth. To date we have heard of no rumors of dissatisfaction, and we predict these two will‘ again represent their township. Further afield we have heard rum- ors of upsets amongst the reeves but these may or may not be true. Anyway, there is certain to be something am up and upset even the rumors afloat. Reeve Brodie will in all probability get an acclamwtion. There is not a murmur we have heard from Normanby so it is likely that Charlie Holm and John Aitken will once more represent that township at the county board. In Egremont no predictions can be made. Reeve Hunter and Deputy-Reeve In Bentlnck there is a rumor that H. W. Hunt may again oppose Reeve McDonald. but it is only rumor and nothing will be known until the nom- ination. In Glenelg, we hear there will likely be a contest for the council, but ships and towns holding their elections in December, and the rest in January, the public will get these changes in sections as it were, but it is a certainty there will be several changes around the county council board next year. We have heard of two cases of re- tirement, Reeve Bell of Durham, and Reeve umbke of Sullivan. Both have been honored with the wardenship and while we cannot speak for Mr. Lembke, Mr. Bell has told us he is not a candi- There is also a momentary craze for MR. 8.

The toast to Our Country, prOposed by W. S. Middlebro’, K.C., who made an eloquent address, gave much infor- mation about Canada, and made com- parisons between the financial and eco- nomic conditions as they existed in Canada and in other'parts of the world. The response was given by W. D. Henry, K. 0., Crown Attorney. He also refer- red to the great men of the country, our natural resources, our progress and deveIOpment and our possibilities. The toast to The Ladies was pro; posed by Reeve W. 1. Field of 00111113- wood, and responded to by Reeve W. L. Taylor of Osprey. The toast to the Warden was pro- posed by Mayor T. W. Thompson of Owen Sound. In responding, Reeve Bell told of the pleasure he had had at the head of the council, stated he would half of himself and Mrs. Rutherford, he presented Mrs. Bell with a bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums. Mr. E. D. Bonnell, assistant treasurer, was pres- ent and also responded to this toast. The speakers regretted the illness of Mr. John Parker, the treasurer, who was unable to be present at the ban- quet. reeve of that township and chairman of the county roads committee. The toast to the County Ofiicials was proposed by Reeve D. J. McDonald of Bentinck,'and responded to by Fred Rutherford, the county clerk. 0n be- ses. John McQuaker of Owen Sound, a former warden of the county, was the toastmaster. The toast to the King was responded to by the singing of the National Anthem. Then followed that to the County of Grey, proposed by Reeve R. J. White of St. Vincent, the warden in 1931, and responded to by Herbert Corbett of Artemesia, former Etendance. and the chef’s damment at the Queen’s Hotel, where the ban- quet was held, excelled themselves in the quality of the delicious food serv- ed. With well-laden tables and a din- ing-room nicely decorated, and with the “Pasadena Six” orchestra, from Proton, supplying the music during the dinner hour, it was a most happy crowd. The orchestra later supplied music for the dance which followed. After the banquet came the toast list, and for a couple of hours the company listened to some good addres- Last Friday night was the occasion .01 the Warden’s banquet at Owen Sound, and Warden Ben, Durhsm’ s reeve. left nothing undone that would make it a. success.

STEAM PIPE BURST; , DURHAM MAN SCALDED No Damage Herc Locally the storm did no damage, and in this locality could scarcely be called a stem at all. Towards evening a light snow commenced falling which made motoring anything but comfortable, and the snow forced drivers to cut down their speed considerably. Over east at Flesherton, and further south at Shel- burne there was a much heavier fall than here, and at the latter place word came through last night of a fatal acci- dent, caused when two motor cars col- lided head-on. Last night the weather Eastern Ontario was last to receive the icy deluge but late Tuesday night a steadily falling temperature was ac- companied by snow as far east as Ot- tawa. Telephdne and telegraph com- panies, up to a late hour, reported their services uninterrupted. Snow and falling temperatures were general over the most of Ontario from Sault Ste. Marie south. Border Cities traffic was impeded by the sleet and later snow which was general through- out Western Ontario. Barrie, Orlllia and other towns north of Toronto were included in the general storm.
