Oh no, I haven't had the D T's, but I have seen some ofi'the 2nd Canadian Division, and they are a bunch to be proud of, I'm sure. We are back at the rest camp again after our few days in our 'residences in Mother Earth'--same thing as dug- outs, you know. I was lying^on my back dreaming of the fine tirnè I was going to have on pass, when Someone bursts in on the comparative quiet "of our hut (about ten boys, all talking at the top of their voices) "Here's the 2nd boys coming !" My, you should have s en the hut clear--a. shell -couldn't have done it quicker. I was .without one puttee, but never noticed it till I was told afterwards, as I was! sure I was goiug to see the home toxvh boys. It was another Brigade, but Major W. Beattie of Cobourg was with them, and the yell that went up when they caught sight of his smiling face in the midst of the boys, as usual, showed what they thot of him. ~SVe hk-ve missed missed him since he left us tho we have some fine 'sky pilots' with us yet. The ones we have, for the most part, are such a contrast to the - Major, now Lieut.-Colonel, I believe--so glorious- ly good and soft-spoken with an air of being afraid of offending anyone by look or word. = " " We had a service last time we were m the reserves, and at -intervals the preacher stopped talking, for fear of outdoing the guns for noise-- ht; speaks, for the most part, in a stage whisper. But he's a fine chap, for all that, and and before the 'big bust' at Givenchy he came along the trench, talking to all and sundry in his path. . The man with the loud voice isn't always the bravest at time's As I was saying, the Major marched up the road shaking shaking hands here and there in his old style and waving his hand to those too far away. There is a man who can preach and yet defy the Huns, as he did at Ypres with his carefree manner and helping hand. We're all proud to be able to say he was our preacher first. Besides preaching, lie cou'd punch, and I've felt the weight of his fist, covered with a glove, and, like his arguments, carrying weight when placed right. Those 2nd Division boys looked travel worn, for the day was warm, the roads dusty, and the faces, streaked streaked with lines washed by sweat running down, looked tired. Still, the band played (they have one to everv Battalion Battalion in this special Brigade) : -ati#d ' the free stride of the Canadian could be seen. Some were humping a kit bag that would have killed a mule (one I saw with a comrade's on top of his own) and now and again a song, strange -to me, would travel along the line. Of coursé they will have their songs of 'chasing the Kaiser to Berlin", etc., as we had. Let's hope they do it-- they certainly look capable of doing anything. One I saw particularly, about 8 ft. 6 in. in height, and broad as a 'barn door'. He spoke of the back woods in his stride which was as free, after that long march, as if he were just starting and to complete the picture, he had a chew in one side of his face that conic not have been less than half a plug. He asked me, between spits, "If there teas a war on, and where were they anyway ?" Still, for all their big men and their fine bands. I'll bet the old 2nd Battalion could give them a run when they first struck France. There are very few of the old faces now, and tho the reinforcements are by no means below our own standard so much that it could be noticed, there's a difference. Colonel Watson's "Not a move ! !" barked at us as tho he would eat us at one bite, alwavs had the statue'effect on all. Wb miss the Colonel--he . has a bigger command now--and tho he did yell at us at times, his smile and the twinkle in his grèy eye, behind the stern mouth showed showed he knew us. Like Gen. Alderson, the boys loved him, as soldiers learn to love a capable officer. Mr.Ed'w'd O'Flynn is now Adjutant, and his new position doesn't spoil him in the.least--hot that we expected it to--but it's possible to get out of touch as he is now. He still has the old smile and the listening ear for his old i Canadian Patriotic and the Red Cross Funds Bowmanville Citizens Subscribe $21,318.80 in a Two Days' Campaign sub- f due Believing it to be Seri hers to the above late campaign, which was held on Oct- c hJp I .4|'h, 5th, and 6th that a complete official report should be made of the result, this article is published with the approval of Mr. D. B. Simpson, K.O., the President, and Mr. W. E. Gerry, the Treasurer of the committee. Names campaign ^ of general com- niittee, its officers and the special committee committee were given in our last issue to which we refer all interested parties. This campaign was a great success a Js snows what a good cause and an effective organization will accomplish. Many of the general, as well as of the smaller committees^ were almost pessimistic pessimistic when President Simpson an- ©\°- U jwfrï, fcbafc , the objective was to be Slo.OOO, but the result shows that he dul not in any way misjudge the great wnole-heartedness and intelligence of the people of Bowmanville as a whole In the principal officers we had those who combined good judgment and sound views in a marked degree, and coupling these with urbanity and tact,' steered the committees into one harmonious harmonious whole, intent on doing its duty as it saw it, to the brave boys who are suffering and fighting for us, and to their lovi d ones, wives, , children, children, .mothers and sisters "who iare in reality the real heroes and heroines and who are, through pain, anguish, and suffering, bearing much more than their share of this terrible war. It would be invidious, perhaps, to pic< out any particular names from iimong the workers for special notice. All were good, splendidly good. • Still, we Cannot pass over without special mention of Mr. Montague J. Smith and Mr. Harry Wilson, who did such brilliant work with such dazzling and magnificent results in the Goodyear Company; they were surely the right men in the right places. * The. $6307 from the Goodyear which they returned returned to the Committee was magnificent, and is complete evidence of their tact, judgment and great administrative ability. The sweet little letter of Ted, 9-year-old son of Mr. Smith, published in our last issue, shows the proper imbuing imbuing with right principles,-and' must surely bring to shame some who failed to respond to the appeal so just and so good as to be inspiring. a° t j e su , b - !

To compare this with other nearby places; Oshawa, population 7,436, contributed $25,000, Qr $3,22 per head; Port Hope, population population 4.726, gave $7,851, or $1.156 per head; Mill brook, population 835, ga\ 7 e $2,800, or $3.35 per head; Campbell- ford, population 3,260, gave $12,000, or $3.67 per head; Cartwright township, population 1300, gave $4,000. or $3.07 per head. $36.00--A.

It must also ne remembered that Bowmanville contributed previously about $3,800, representing $1.17 per head, so that Bowmanville so far has actually contributed about $7.75 per head. This leads the van everywhere, so far as we have any knowledge, and speaks volumes for our generous hearted citizens. We commend the list of subscribers published herewith to the careful and critical consideration of our readers with a view to- making known the names of those of our citizens who contributed to this noble cause in the interest of our Canadian boys who are so much praised in England (see Mrs. Fletcher's letter) for fighting for Britain, Britain, the personification of all that good in the nations of the world. A supplementary list of subscribers will appear later. is We have a splendid officer with us now, one of the 32nd officers, and he has dropped into his place as if he had been there right along. The spirits of the crowd are, as usual, in the best condition. I was just handed The Statesman by one of our boys (mine haven't arrived arrived yet) and in it the true explanation explanation of "Breezy D's letters" is disclosed I --and it's true. It's easy to write 'crazy' letters, really, for I just let my ! mind wander on and write down things that occur in our every day life: There's no use in being serious at this | job, for if you are, the other people across the way think they have one on you if they can 'get your wind up at any old time'. That's what they | can't do, and they are serious instead. If they're going to get you, they will, but they have got to find us first. . A bent head in the trenches, or in other words, 'a stoop' makes it just a [ little bit harder for those _ snipers to get a chance at you at some low spot, perhaps. It's bad for a straight figure, but what's the ufee of a pair of straight shoulders and a-bullet in the brain-box. Harold Carey and Alf. Watts are here every day to see us at odd times, and to ask for papers. Harold's hearing hearing is by no means good, but he is doing doing good work where he is. serving out'the eats'. Roy and I go down to see them, too,-and to have a hand at cards. 'Bobs' Wren hit a wasp with his eye to-dày, and his face around the attack has advanced considerably. That's what comes of having your eyes open too' wide first thing in the morning. He has a pretty bad-looking eye, and went back to the hospital today today noon A xvasp is a 'contemptible little thing (like the British Army) but it's buzz is certainly not worse than its bite. I hope to be able to see Lieut. Cooper before we go in again, and Charlie Romans who is again in charge of his old platoon, will be with me, I hope. Ted Moody has at last come into his own--in other words, he is Sergeant of the bomb throwers. The weight of the other stripe doesn't seem to have thrown him off his balance at a'l. Ted's too solid a soldier to be affected by a promotion, and I am sure it was a popular action of his officer to raise him. Can't mention any of our boÿs in particular for auy breach of the peace. One is as bad as another, from what I see. Hope all are as xvell as they want to be in the old town. We all long to kick holes in the sidewalks again. The Chief told me once that I had to pay the 'head tax' to help keep up the sidewalk sidewalk I wore out. See they are: going to put down some more concrete walks in places. They'd need more cement than they have in some places to stand our feet now. Yours, Dan D. Pte.

Lhe Methodist Sunday School had all these and more at its anniversary on Sun- da v last, for it was favored with lovely bright weather, all combining to make interesting interesting services and assemble splendid congregations. Rev. Wilmot G. Clarke, ti.A., pastor, was th; preacher for the day and he gave an illustrated talk to the younger mambers of the school in the morning on "Secret Faults" which proved very interesting to the little ones and to some older ones as well. The choir furn- îshed good music and Miss H. Martin con- f'hpui 311 oI ^ favorite solo, "Listen to the Children Praying" which all fully enjoyed. enjoyed. The school was out in full force occupying the centre of the auditorium' also again at the service in the church in the afternoon, Mr. Wm. Trewin, Superin- tendent, pre^dmg. R ev . E. A.

Master Reid, Pearn recited with splendid expression "Ring True". Miss Martin.sang that favorite solo "Timothy* 1 . Miss Rilda Slemon read "Some Day" and Miss Greta Wickett "Lo, I am with you alwa.y each in keeping with the spirit of the occasion. A chorus by the primary boys was nicely sung. Three choruses by the junior and senior girls were excellent, JMiss Florence VanNest singing sweetlx - the solo parts, and a quartet composed of Miss Martin and Mrs. Higginbotham and Messrs. Higginbotham and Pickard sang in subdued tone's the chorus "I'm Praying for you" which was very pretty and effectue. effectue. ^ astor Clarke gave ashort address on ' Winning your spurs". Mr. J. N. McDougall, McDougall, secretary, reported the membership membership and average attendance of each department department for ihe year, giving the names of those who had enlisted for the Front, and of those who had passed to the Great Beyond. Mr. W.M. Ives presented the financial standing of Ihe school. In the evening a packed house greeted Pastor Clarke when he addressed the lar ge congregation on "A Little Child Shall Lead Them" pointing out the many ways in which a child had broken down barriers between nation and state, and the thot of the prophet of old that the time xvill yet come when the great nations of the world, which at the present time are in such turmojl,,will " yet five in peace under the influence of the babe of Bethlehem. Bethlehem. One special feature in the evening was a male choir of about 35 voices under direction of Prof. Laugher who sang three choruses splendidly, Pastor Clarke expressing the thot of the congregation nicely when he said he felt like clapping. It was well done, Mr, T, S. Holgate sang '"One Sweetly Solemn Thought", and the .male quartet--Messrs. Bragg, Holgate, Pickard, Higginbotham--very pleasingly sang "Nearer, my God, to Thee". The musical services throughout the day reflect great credit on Prof. Laugher, organist and director, and not a little of the success of the day rightly belongs belongs to him. The Board asked for $100 and $176.16 was contributed, so that financially financially and otherwise this was one of the best anniversary occasions in the history of this school. STOP "NIBBLING" NOW. The Ontario Government has sent tig the particulars respecting its recent action in curtailing the hours of sale of liquor in hotels during this war. November 1st is the date when the new regulation becomes operative. We are pleased with the change--it is good as far as it goes--but it should go all the way. It savors too, of class legislation. It. is a very great surprise surprise to us that selling in clubs was not made subject to the same restriction. British fair play should prevail ini a measure of this character. What is good for the soldier boys and the working men is likewise good for all classes. Knowing the high character of the members of the Board of License Commissioners, as we do, we are more than surprised that their recommendations did not at least include all places where liquors are sold under license. So we are of the number who think it would have been better if bars are not to be closed entirely, if the hour had been fixed for 7 o'clock p. m. for closing, the same as on Saturday evening, and that every place where liquor is retailed or served had been included in the restricted hours. Personally, wé favor the entire suspension of all sàle of intoxicating liquors during this war, except for medicinal medicinal purposes.
