As soon as the arrangements for mobilization and departfire were announced, the`Town made preparations, to serve luncheon , for the: whole battalion `at the Armouries, it being expected that the Orillia and Gollingwood "companies would reach Barrie in ;the morning. However they did not reach town till after one o e1ock. ~ Numerous ladies under the direction. ' of Mrs. . Stewart looked after the preparation and serving of" the luncheon. After the Barrie". contingent had all |heen'se-rved an.d supplied with {extras for their knapsacks, word {was received that the Coiling; gwood men were coming and had `not `had -their dinner. To" meet this emergency meant some hur_ ried work on the part of the ladies but they proved equal to .the occasion and saw' that the Tlollinerwood chaps were provided for before leaving at 2.15 for lthe station. n ___-._;1.` ..1- n...-. 1...-.44.-ll-inn [LIN-'.

A site Suggestion The possibility of a new site beingaselected for the Collegiate -has broughtout again ..the sug- gestion made` by H. G. Robert- son in' 1911 that the school'be built in the Agricultural Park. Mr. Robertson was chairman of the Board that` year, it being during his regime that _.the re- modelling of the B.C.I. was "un- dertaken. _ __-_- _L_'-._ I CLIVE-ui:wT1ilob`ert%son s was that the agricultural build- ing be moved to the north west ~ corneraof the park, and that the school building should be built on the brow of the `slope where the fair building now stands. This.would _give one elevation to the north facing Elizabeth St. . and one to the east facing Brad- ford St., with a good approach from either street. At a moder- ate cost the ground in front of the school could he terraced and sodded and in time the residen- tial property between the park and -High St. could be acquired and made part of the park. Mr. `Robertson is of the opinion that no better location can be secured for the school and the.cos.t of moving buildings and making other changes would not be_ nearly as great as purchasing a * new site. suggestion 1 Barrie Bowling club - A well attended meeting of the Barrie Bowling Club was held on 'I`ue'sday when the following of- ficers were eleete-d:-- Hon.

Dean .O Malley pointed out the lesson of history to show that the terrible wa_r through which we are passing should be suc- ceeded by a greater economic, social, educational and political progress than has ever been seen before. The war is one of vital issues to the world and to our country, issues that should stir the deepest and strongest currents in our nature. Sim- coe s response had been splendid and the 177th can be depended upon to live up to the army s best traditions and manfu-lly do its "part in achieving a triumph for right. ` `I1--. `IT IT `IT.-.'|`l.-unn nnnn1rnm J. 151.111: - Rev.

McPhee, who though offered the post of Bri_ gadier declined the "honor, pre- ferring to stay with the battalion that he had come from France to raise. Such a spirit was wor- thy of emulation. The speaker emphasized the duty" of those at home to do'well their part and while commending the women for their noble efforts on behalf of the soldiers, incidentally in- formed the audience that, if op- portunity oifered, he would sup- port Womanhood Franchise in the Dominion Parliament. ,1 `I. 1- Ul.1,\1 l_I\J11l1Ll.l\ILL .1.
