The cereâ€" Many wellknown â€"personalities from outside points were in town for Old Home Week and added distinction to the Reâ€"unicn. Among the number were some who claim Durham â€" as their birthplace, though it was reâ€" gretted that other former citizens who have acheved renown could not be present. Here are afew who were on hand: General Draper, Toronto chief of police, who took the salute at the veterans‘ parade; J. M. Godâ€" frey, Ontario Securitiee commissionâ€" er, who spoke at the garden party on Monday; Agnes MacPhail, Canada‘s only woman member of House of Commens: Kathleen Stokes, Canadaâ€" wide known organist of radio fame, who was born here and rendered a recital at Knox Church Sunday evenâ€" ing; Capt. John Slatter, famed leader of 48th Highlanders band; Alfie Philâ€" The celebrat‘on itself was of the highest order and the program of enâ€" tertainment provided by the Old Home Week Committee was carried out as far as possible. There was scarcely a dull moment from tho‘ early hours of Monday morning unâ€" til uaylight broke on Thurusday a.ml with the exception of Tuesday afterâ€" noon when a downpour of rain interâ€" fered with the schedule of events. The’ sentimental appeal in the greeting of _ old friends naturally was the great | attraction of the reunion, but the ‘ splendid entertainment provided alaol was highly appreciated by all _con | concerned. ‘The list of events ran the gamut in variety from unveiling of a memorial cairn, special church serâ€" vices, and old time garden party, to‘ calithump‘:an parade, street dances and nidway attractions, There was a well balanced _ sport card arrangedl for the three days this week and at . least a dozen kinds of sports were | enjoyed. There was no dearth of muâ€"| sic, as prominent bands assisted in' the program; the Durham band, thfl! 8th Highlanders‘ Pipe and Brass; bands playing on Monday, the St. ; Marys band on Tuesday and the Owen! Sound band on Wednesday. Brown‘s orchestra of Walkerton and Haw‘s ol’ Swinton Park provided the melody for the street dances on each nighl[ of the celebration. It was a most orderly crowd throughâ€" out., there being no disturbances or unseemly conduct. One visitor from a distance informed the Review he had attended six or seven Western Ontario reâ€"unions in recent years and this was the most sociable and orâ€" derly of any of them. United States to join with the presâ€" ent citizenry of town in happy assoâ€" o‘ation, was a tremendous success, and on every hand, it was acclaimed as the best celebration in local hisâ€" tory. On Saturday, the main rush of visitors commenced to pour into the town, and it continued steadily on Sunday and Monday. Final registra tions are expected to show a total of over 1500 "oldâ€"timers" who came back to renew acquaintances with friends and scenes of days of yore.

After "school" was disâ€" missed on Tuesday morning, a roomâ€" ful of Miss Margaret MeKenzie‘s former pupils decided on a march down town.

Four generations of this famiâ€" ly came for the reâ€"union and brought back associations of nearly half a century ago. Geo. H. Cliffe operated a woollen mill at the foot of the hill on Jurham Road Wes; about 45 years back which industry gave its name to the hill. He was accompanâ€" . ied by his daughter, Miss Maude E.!

This huge prairie schooner was drawn by two teams of horses and must have been a true pioneer specâ€" imen. Tied onto the sides were a box of small pigs, a crate of hens, barâ€" rells labelled water and corn whiskey, a plough, siove pipes, muskets and other paraphernalia, while one o! the occupants led a cow with a rope and at the town‘s main corner, the van stopped while the bovine was milked. ! Ceremony at Historic Spot in Durham, on Sunday | With events on land and water proâ€" vided for by the Old Home Week { Committee, it remained for a barnâ€" storming airplane to make thrills in the air. When not taking passengers ‘up from the landing field on McKechâ€" nie‘s farm north of town, the pilot 'gave citizens chills and thrills as he "looped the loop"‘ over the town, as well as making spectacular turns and dives. No matter what the occasion, it is inconceivable that traffic on Durham streets will be any heavier than durâ€" ing the Reâ€"union days. In a celebraâ€" tlion of this kindâ€"with parades, street dancing, etc., forming interruptions to the milling traffic, it required the most skilful handling of the Chief Constable and his special corps of traffic officers, to keep the streets clear. That there was a minimum of disorder under such trying conditions speaks volumes for the work of the Chief and his aides. The accommodation problem apâ€" parently adjusted itself as hundreds of oldâ€"timers returned totown. There was scarcely a home in town that didn‘t have some visitors while the hotels and billet houses had a full quota of guests.

The letters, furnâ€" ished by a daughter of Mrs. Laird, were written in the years 1865 and 1866 and related interesting news reâ€" garding activities of the Methodist Church here at that time.
