Just about a year ago word was sent to` the Prime Min-` Ester that the? 157th Regiment, composed of the sons of Simcoe, had been mobilized.

I can speak with some knowledge of the noble `services rendered by the from which I come. In the coun- ty of Simcoe the ladies havevtak- en part in Red Cross work, "in sleldcomfort work, in aiding the returned soldiers; and, apart from the sicieties which abound fihroughout the "county, there is work being done in an endless number of homes/by the ladies who are. constantly knitting socks and preparing medical supplies for the soldiers.
