ADYE SPEAKER The spirit of remembrance, re- calling the poignant yet glorious days of the ending of the Creat War, and the sacrifices of those who marched away to the great adventure but did not come back, permeated the-weekly luncheon of the Rotary Club yesterday, when the speaker was Rev. Ralph Adye, vice-chairman of the On- tario Provineial Command of the Canadian Legion, The tables were decorated with great vases of blood-red poppies, and behind the president's chair hung a | large wreath hearing the motto, "Lest We Forget." The songs were all reminiscent of war- days, and there was an impres sive moment as the gathering stood for a moment of silence in memory of those who paid the supreme sacrifice for country and Empire. The speaker of the day was In- troduc#d by M. McIntyre Hood, who spoke of the service being Pendered by Rev. Mr. Adye on behalf of his comrades who had been broken and disabled in the Great War, Mr. Adye"s Address The period surrounding Re- membrance Day, said Mr. Adye, was a period of great tension and stress for those 'who had seen active service in the great con- flict, because the occasion struck so deep in the national life of the country and sounded the deeps of the individual life. Pointing to Canada's part in the war, Mr. Adye said 691,000 Can- adians had enlisted in the Cana- dian Expeditionary Forces and other services, and of these, 61,- 000 had given their lives on the (Continued on page 7) "HYDRO COMMISSION BELIEVED TO BE CONSIDERING AN ALTERNATIVE PLAN FOR PAYMENT OF EXCHANGE BILLS (Special To The Times) Toronto, There ap- to midication that November 8 be every pears | the Hydro Electric Power Commis- taking serious cognizance of protests voiced by many ssions within the hydro ystem regarding the charges made nst them on of ex- ange rates which prevailed when Provincial Commission sold se- curities in the United States.

In thesc zones it is incumbent upon motorists by law to | drive slowly and carefully. In ad- dition to this care it also now be- comes incumbent on drivers to co- operate with the boys' patrols. "These patrols will be of little value, will in fact only add 'to the danger if motorists do not co-oper- ate, Cars should be driven slowly and carefully in the school zones, and when the patrol is on duty ad- ded care should be taken, "While the boys' patrol is not composed of police officers it will be, nevertheless, the duty of all mo- torists to obey the signals given to them by the boys whether such signals be given rightly or wrongly, otherwise the results might prove most serious." said Mr. Will- son who is most optimistic that lo- cal motorists will enter into the spirit of the recently organized pat- rol movement, ELECTRIC IRON CAUSE OF BLAZE Between $200 and $300 Damage Done to Pros- pect Street Home An electric iron which was left turned on caused a fire in the home of Stephen Karney, 418 Prospect Street shortly before noon today occasioning damage which it is es- timated will be between two and three hundred dollars, Fire Chief Elliott stated to The Times that the fire had started from the iron and spread to a ches- terficld suite which was very bad- lv damaged while damage to the interior of the house was consid- erable.

TO DISCONTINUE - DAMAGE GRANT for Further Payments on Nuisance Claim The report of the Board of Works, as presented by Ald. Jack- son at last night's 'meeting of the City Council and adopted without discussion, contained but a single clause reading as follows,-- "This committce recommends that the payment to Mr. Fudge re garbage dump be discontinued." The payment referred to is one of $1.00 per day, being paid for some time to Mr, Fudge owing to inconvenience occasioned by the proximity of the dump to his pro- perty, and which was referred to in the. columns of this paper some weeks ago as likely to be consider- ed owing to the fact that actual dumping is not now taking place in the immediate vicinity of Mr. Fudge's house. Four animals went to the cir- cus; a duck, a pig, a frog and a skunk. All got in but one. The duck had a bill; the pig had four quarters; the frog had a green- back; but the skunk only had a cent and that was a bad one. | | Council Decides No Need] | Bins, Both Men Died of Injuries Sustained When News. paper Delivery Truck Crashed Into Automo- bile Near Baillieboro Yesterday VISION OBSCURED BY HEAVY FOG Remains of Herman Hagen Who Boarded at 136 Rit- son Road South, to be Brought Here for Burial Full details came to hand this morning regarding the truck and automobile collision near Baillie- boro yesterday morning in which Herman ("Bill""') Hagen boarding at 136 Ritson Road South, Osh~ awa, and truck driver for the Toronto Globe, sustained injuries which caused hig death in a Pet~ erboro Hospital later in the aay, and in which Horace Walkey, of Belleville, also sustained fatal injuries and died in the after- noon.
