^je /kslj^ttjan %hmnu. Vol.45 No. 1 1 Flesherton, Ontario, Aug. 1 5, 1 924 W.H. Thurston & Son, Proprietors f m Eui^enia Correspondence Hon. Arthur Meighen Will Work On Coming To Eugenia The people of Eugenia are to be grreatly favoured on Tuesday Aug. 21st, when the Rt. Honourable Ar- thur Meighan, will be present at the Conservative picnic. He is un- doubtedly one of the g^reat states- men of our Dominion. It will no doubt be a treat to hear him ir- respective of our political leanings. We will also have the Minister of Public Works with us which will add greatly to the interest of the day, and he will be able, no doubt, to tell us how the money is spent. It would be very fitting if each of the resi- dents would do what they could to make our picturesque little village as clean, gala and festive looking as pos- sible, as there will be a day second to that, if not as big as, the unveil- ing of our memorial as this con- vention is for all of Central Ontar- io, and we will have visitors and prominent men and Members of Par- liament from five counties, together with others who will visit the pic- nic here. To have the village look- ing spick and span with our flags and bunting flying, will leave a last- ing impression which we would wish j to create. The memorial committee I are taking advantage of this big I occasion and have already made ar- rangements and erected booths and will cater to those not provided with lunch and incidentally try to pay off the deficit on the Memorial fence. Anyone wishing to help could call up Mrs. Morgan or Mrs. Large. All help will be acceptable. Memorial Plot Everyone interested in the Memor- ial plot and all it stands for are in- vited to attend a bee this Wednesday and Thursday. Those who cannot make arrangements to come Wednes- day will be very acceptable with their help on Thursday, as we want to put the memorial plot into shape and at the present time when the earth is so moist will be much, easier to put into shape. Will evCTyone who can passibly make arrangements to come be on hand and teams will be needed both days. Let us sacrifice one or both of these days in memory of those dear boys who paid the sup- reme sacrifice and do our little bit to keep their memory fresh before the public who visit this spot in thou- sands each season.

WIARTON ECHO .APOLOGIZES Typhographical errors will occur in the best of regulated newspapers. Last week we had one of our estim- able lady roaders visiting out of town for a few days. Now as a matter of fact it was her husband's trip we meant to record, and that was where the error o:;urred. Now Mr. is one of tlnse fellows who believes everything he reads in the Echo and on his return his wife had some ex- plaining to do to convince him that she stayed faithfully at home during his absence but he was only convinced when we assured him that the error was ours. But thp.t mistake is simple compar- ed with the one contemporary of ours made in the obituary notice of a re- spected citizen when it said :"The re- mains were reverently borne to their last roasving place by the brethren of the lodgre."' How would you lilce to be the editor about that time ? SHELDON MYERS Builder and Contractor SHINGLES AND FLOORING LAID ALL KINDS OF REP.\IR WORK Flesherton, - Ont.
