Mr. Meighen did not hold the undivided attention ofhis au- dience during his address.which was beautifully phrased and delivered in quiet but impres- sive manner. Every one of his auditors seemed to catch the fervent impressiveness of the speaker, and everyone came away with a better understand- ing of the cause and magnitude of the war and its meaning to Canadians. Chairman T. Beecroft said that, although the war has now been on for nearly a year, the men of Barrie have not yet awakened. Down through the 9 ages, England has been fighting '-`the wars of liberty and right, yet b'this is but the second time that dlcanada has shed blood in the 3 nation's cause. There are men 3 of wealth in Barrie, he said, who have not given $5 -to the funds--- , men who can afford automobiles .: who have not given $3. There L is a place for evebody in this struggle. If a man is physically _' tit he should join the colors, and 3 if he is not there is a place for 3 him in the'rank_s of the Red Cross Society, the Patriotic , Fund, the Belgian Relief or the Field Comforts.

This was in ad- 'dition, also, to the contributions !of many supplies.

Rodgers and others, who have returned from the firing line, to appreciate the great need of the noble work of the Red Cross Society, said Mr. Boys, .amid great applause at the men- tion of this gallant Barrie om- cer's name. If he was to take this platform, in five minutes he could do more for the work of the Red Cross than all speakers here to-night. Briefly Mr. Boys reviewed Capt. Rodg- ers' story of Langemarck, where not one man of the 4th Batt. showed the white feather,though `advancing to almost certain "death. 0! the 1000 men but 155 answered the roll call after that (Continued on page 4.) the _ This very houI;,is the most` crucial period of the world's history, said Hon.

After being educated in New Lowell public school and Collingwood Collegiate, he went to Toronto to learn the wholesale grocery business with Davidson & Hay. He is now with Gunn's Ltd. Un_ der Col. Davidson he joined the 48th as a private in 1909 and advanced to be sergeant. He served with this corps for 4 years and when war broke out he volunteered for foreign serv- ice.

From the public school 'he went to Barrie Collegiate andl Barrie Business College and then entered the employ of the Bank gof Toronto, being stationed in `Barrie when he enlisted with the 3rd Contingent. His proficiency `in his work was shown by the `fact that he was one of those picked from the 37th Regt. to go as reinforcements for the First- | Contingent. __o_-v. , The last letter received from him and written on May 31 con- tained the following: We are now occupying a German trench.

Thenight after Tecum_ seth's request was turned down, Reeve Carter received a wire fromeratepayers of his township stating that an appeal against the assessment would be made to the County Jud_ge. Strong protest was. made over the Gov- ernment`s charge of morethan $900 a year to pay Simcoe s share of the salary and- expenses of a District Inspector of Health. There was some discussion on the practice of giving special grants for Good Roads and it was shown that the County Sys- tem of Highways is falling into pretty bad shape through lack of proper maintenance. The War.den s Picnic. On Wednesday afternoon the members of Council, along with County and Town otlicials and other friends, to the number of eighty or ninety, were the guests of Warden Potter at Big Bay Point. The trip to the Point was made in launches and automo- biles, and the day being an ideal one, this part of the entertain- ment was very much enjoyed.

Equalization is an item that is always liable to cause trouble, though it has been customary to let an equalized assessmentstand for five years. This year two Barrie representatives moved to have the whole question opened up claiming that the County Town is not fairly dealt with un- der the equalization that has been in force for the last four years. In their desire to have the question considered, the Barrie men did not get much sympathy and they. withdrew their motion after having set forth their ideas on the subject. Deputy Fleming of Tecumseth made an earnest appeal to have his township reduced, claiming that it is $1,000,000 higher than it should be. `On division his motion for reduction was beat- en'2ln to 20.
