The high school is at full capacity at present and) the separate school is now being en- larged. The two public schools are equal to the attendance just now. Our staff stands second to none. At the last entrance examination, eighty-) tive pupils tried and everyone passed.' During the past twelve years only two have failed at this exam., which is indeed a record to be proud of. Our spiritual welfare is well cared for, as we have seven churches, two) Anglicans, two Presbyterian, one' Methodist, one Roman Catholic, and one Baptist. Mention was' made also that if 3 as.

The invitations extended by. the Bowling Club and Golf Club were conveyed to the visitors and were unanimously received. In closing the mayor liken.; ed the present'situation as to a child, a young man, and an elderly person, to illustrate anticipation, realization and recollection and pointed out that prior to this visit the delegates had anticipated the event, now they were about to realize it and in the future it would be a recollection, and also that everything was made ready for their comfort during their stay as the citizens had' anticipated their antici- nations.

Mayor Flynn then introduced Capt. gydney Lam- bert, who responded in his usual et- ficient manner and also thanked the IVeston" Firemen tor the invitation whereby twenty crippled soldiers, now in hospital at Christie Street, would be their guests on Wednesday after- noon. Upon retiring to again assume his duties amongst the boys now fighting for their lives. he was accord- ed three rousing cheers and a tiger, followed by "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow." , General Business.

Three manu- facturing concerns grace our town. The Motta't Stove Co. stand on their own name, as they are known the world over for their excellent product, as they have been manufacturing stoves for a number of years. Their latest venture, the electric stove, is proving equally as popular, The Can- ada Cycle & Motor Co., whilst at Dres- ent not working to capacity, have also universal fame, as they make the famous bicycles so well known, Tikes wise skates. With the exception of one, all of thelaleon hockey team, "irrlao, when representing Canada at (the Olympic games last winter, won the championship of the world. were wearing c,tal. skates.

With all the solemnity of a cere- mony, the 20th Annual Firemen's Convention was formally opened for .buSiness, tending to the welfare of the firemen of Ontario on Monday af- ternoon at two o'clock. Capt.

On behalf ofthe town of Weston.May- or Flynn formally wel omed the dele- gates. He stated mag it was indeed very gratifying to a dress such a large representative gathering, and he hoped that this, the 20th annual con- vention, would have a tendency to encourage better citizenship and bet- ter volunteer firemen. Freedom of Weston The mayor also gave the local fire brigade and the Visiting members the freedom of the town, and in handing it over, he suggested that they would be the better for it, as it would give them an opportunity to see Weston as it is. He called attention to two things that he wanted observed, and that-was, first, to meet the firemen of \Veston in the persons of Chief Tot- ten, Capt. H. L. Coulter, Ex-Chief G.

Many of the residents can re- member when a portion of a store, with a drug store oc'cupying the other half, was ample accommodation tor the pita/cal service. Later it was mov- ed do n to the Eagle House, and a room about half the site of the pres- ent quarters utilized. Since then from time to time partitions have been moved and extra boxes installed-in order to serve the public and give better service. The latest addition was made this week, when ninety-six new boxes were installed. In order to fa- cilitate service the, door at the lower end of the office has been closed and that section will be used entirely for the sorting of mail: With more room at their disposalgtheclerks will be able to sort the mail ‘quicker, but it will also eliminate the danger of mar terial being mislaid. It is hoped the next move will be a new building with modern equipment; 'Which will not on- ly add to the appearance of our town, but" assist the post office officials in giving efficient service to the public: Increaéé of Population Demands More Space and Accommo- dation in Local Office Mr. Forrester, Holly Ave., returned home on Saturday from a two weeks' vacation trip. . Some persons have taken a fancy to property that does not belong to them. There are a number of arti- cles, particularly lumber, that be- longs to the fair board,nhat has been rembved by persons in and abbut the town. Then someone has removed the cement blocks that were erected on the fair grounds by-the granite block company. These ,_ have been taken away without authority from, the fair board or, frqm the owners. Again the statement is made that you can’t repair a sidewalk and leave the wood about unless it is nailed and wired. Now these things should not be. Someone is responsible and should' see that charges are laid and the law enforced. It is this little petty thiev- ing that is so detrimental to a dis- trict if it is allowed to go on. Those who have 1osCthis [property have a duty to society. They should lay the charge and see that the law is made to function after the charge is made. NEW illll(fS M l ll, SPEAKS ill: SEW!

If the present epidemic came under the head of the ‘medical health offi- cer, it would be attended to. The present epidemic, however, comes un- der the jurisdiction/ of the police de- partment of oottowd. They do not seem to be able to lay hands upon the individuals, but some action should be taken at onoe by those officials to see that charges are made and some prosecution followed.

Even after the war there are a great number of boys who will never again enjoy the privileges such as is enjoy- ed by the average person: These boys are. torever disabled, or blinded. The ravages of war right at home and suf- fering prolonged. Sufferings that are shut out from us because we do not appreciate the condition ot these boys, and the majority never will as the war is over and we are safe. Mr. Wm. Rees, of the Bank of Montreal staff, Stratford, is enjoying a vacation at his home, Rosemount Ave, with Rev. and Mrs. Hughes Jones. Met the Best _ ' Refering to the men that he met whilst in the trenches. Major Burch gave a fitting illustration to his point. During the battle of the Somme and in the vicinity of Regina Trench,wher’e thaT‘great slaughter took place, and so manv of Canada's best laid down their lives, sixteen hundred heavy guns blazed away at the enemy, and as many retaliated, so that blood ran freely and life was held cheaply. Walking into the midst of this, he met the best men. Right in the midst of death and all its terrors\ there he came in contact with the boys, Canadians, our own boys fighting to the death with an unscrupulous enemy right down in hell and all this turmoil, this living death, the best, in maanas brought to the surface. .- Still, With the Boys - Now that the war is over, Major Burch has not thrown down the reins of duty, but is still actively engaged with those boys who are daily putting _ Lord We Perish Another comparison was drawn from -the Bible, wherein it states re- garding the storm 0n the sea of Gallilea, when the Lord was voyaging with his disciples, and a, terrific storm was ragintrgo that the boat was ap- parently nigh unto sinking. Terror- stricken, the disciples cried aloud, "Lord we perish," and their cry was answered by the command to the sea "Peace, be still." So was this same story re-enacted in March ot 1918, when we were being attacked very heavily on the western front, and it seemed imminent when we would have to withdraw to positions already pre- pared in the rear. Realizing the danger that beset us, the nations cried aloud "Lord, we perish." The cry was heard and the Almighty-Hand was stretched forth with the words "Peace, be still.” , Made Comparison Having served in the war, the major had a thorough idea of the ravages of war, and like every other citizen, he also ,had a thorough idea of the disastrous results of fire. In comparing the two, he mentioned that great damage was invariably done through fire and also through war. But whilst there was no necessity for fire, ways and means had to be adopt- ed and measures taken to prevent it. The measures taken to appease the world were included in war, and blood-letting is the only solution. Throughout the universe a great fury was accumulating, which was observed by the Central Powers, who, seeking the unrest of the world, took advant- age of the opportunity and attempted world-domination. Capital was play- ing its part in the cauldron as it de- manded big margin of profit. Labor contributed as they wanted the most money for the shortest period of work, and also to d/o the least amount dur- ing that time. War was the"only, out- let. There was a need for it; a cry tor it; we had peace) for, over a hun- dred years and that was too long, Suddenly the world was thrown into a turmoil, and a terrific struggle en- sued. Each nation involved gave of its best, and the best were demanded, as weaklings would not meet the re- quirements. Consequéntly our best and bravest were slain. and lay strewn over the battlefields of France and Flanders. No one other than those who went through that terrible strug- gle will ever have any idea of what the soldiers had to contend with. The 'boys gave anada a place on the map of the “’01;ch and imprinted a monu- ment of br'avery which the storms of time can never destroy. No greater tribute could have been paid the memory qt, tlg'o'se boys who so gallantly gave up their lives in the cause of humanity, when Major Burch opened his address by calling the audience at the Firemen’s Convention to their feet, and all stood with bowed heads. All the more impressive was the undisturbed silence that prevailed during that period of tribute. Every person in the hall had someone that had paid the supreme sacrifice, and they knew only too well just what that stillness meant. Following this token, the major repeated the Lord's Prayer, followed by the audience in all rever- ence to One who had also paid the supreme sacrifice. Each Day Brings Forth _ In opening his address, the speaker drew attention to the fact that this Twas the first occasion that he had had of addressing a Firemen's Convention, but that his earlier experiences had included the hazardous duties that they were destined to follow. He re- lated an incident very outstanding in [ his mind that happened when he was‘ but a little lad. Each small boy, or rather in a great many cases, assumes I thathe is getting to be a man, and therefore sometimes likes to try out a man's tricks, insofar as learning to smoke is concerned. This experience in his early life almost lead to a dis- astrous conflagration, and it was in this instance that he was pressed into service as a firemen, together with the remainder of the family. He was firmly impressed, and had greater admiration for the strength of his Senior's parental arm as a conse- quence.
