He harked back to the days of August, 1914, when so many members of the reeiment were ready and prepared to offer themselves in the defense of their country. Many of these men, he stated, had never returned but their names and the name of their regiment would live for ever in the hearts of the people of Ontario county. Since 1918, he declared, the regiment had received no out- side assistance and was now sore- ly in need of new camp* equ'p- ment. Lieut; Col, H, E, Smith, officer commanding, had asked for a grant of $1,000 but he could say with assurance that the regiment would feel that it had the backing of the county if it were voed $500, He did not wish to see the matter "shelved" and he asked who other than the regiment could defend the farms and towns of Ontario coun- ty if the coutry were invaded by an enemy, Deputy Reeve Middleton, of Pick- ering township, concurred with Ma- Jor Smith's remarks and was pleas- ed to second his motion of amend- ment, The regiment, he felt, was worthy of every support. On behalf of the finance com- bridge, assured the represetative from East Whithy that the com- mittee had no idea of "shelving" the grant but wished to give it ad- equate consideraton, Cries of "question, question," in- terrupted the discussion and, when the amendment was put to the vote it carried almost unanimously, Mrs. Archibald Robinson who had lived in St. Stephen, N.B, for the past 32 years died recently in that city, aged 85, Clump of fresh green ferns was found growing the other day by I.
