THKKSTON, Associate Editor Pleasant Quebec Trip For Editor's Party Ye senior editor returned last week from a most delightful holiday trip to Montreal and Ottawa, with side trips to St. Airatha, in the Laurentians, 65 milfs north of Canada's largest city; St. Lambi'it airport, and Cauyhna- waga. The partv con.'^i.sted of Mr. W. n. Thurston and wife, daujrhtei Miss Del! Thurston, and grandson. Master Jimmy Thurston. The trip down the Montreal along the St. Lawrence river, is so well known that a description would be superfluous, so we will confine it to a few incidents along the way. To escape the city of Toronto, we turned east at Bramp- ton and followed the government highway thixjujrh Markham and Brougham to Brooklin, where we call- ed on our old hunting companion, .Joey Hodg.son, whom we had not seen for twelve years. Here we turned south to Whitby where we made contact with the No 2 hitrhway. At Ottawa we called on Mr. and Mrs. Earl Fos- ter and his charminp wife, formerly Miss Kathleen Hutchinson of Kimber- ley. At Newcastle we dropped in on a former bank manager in Flesherton, Mr. T. C. Batty and found him very busy but continuing to wear his old time smile. The first night out was spent in King.ston, where we found Mr. and Mrs. C. Chappie of Flesher- ton public school, also Mr. and Mrs. Ira Merriam, formerly of Flesherton, now of Thornbury. Both of the gentlemen are plugging at university on a special course. Both of these good people gave us a happy interlude to our trip. In the morning we did some sight seeing, including a visit to the big pei\al institution, which was been so much in the lime light during the past few years. The prison walls ore very imposing, brit we had no de- sire to get past them. We then drove up to the historical old fort and through an open gati'way, but were invited by a guard to turn about and go nut. It was evidently sacred ground, so we went on our way. We passed Malloi y town, where some of our forebeareis once lifed after the United States had slilpped them out of the country without their possess- ions. They did not stay there long, however, which we remarked to our party was an undisputablo evidence that they belonged to a wise gener- ation. On eastward then tlirough Btockville to Cardinal, where we hud luncheon. That afternoon we skirt- ed the river and canals and arrived at otir destination in the early even- ing, whore we found (Uir brother, Mr. A. n. Ihurston and daup-liter Ruth, awaiting our arrival on a street cor- ! ner. How we timed our arrival so that we caught them there is more than our chauffer can explain. Then followed five days of delight- ful sight-seeing and visiting. Flesh- erton has quite a little colony of ex- residents in Montreal, and one evsn- ing our party had Die irreat pleasure of being rntertainod al dinner by MUs Carrie Sullivan, at the Business Wo- men's Club, with her sister, Miss Ma- mie Sullivan, aNo present, as well as another honored guest, Mrs. W. A, Armstrong. This is among our most pleasant recollections of Montreal. The Misses Sullivan have made good with the Bell Telephone Company and have been highly valued employees for some years. Miss Carrie holds the very responsible position of de- partmental manager, and Miss Mamie has the position of supervisor. Both girls look as though the atmosphere of Montreal agreed with them. We visited the big St. Hubert airport where we saw the big liner passenger aii'plane take off for New York. On Tuesday of last week we mot- tored along the banks of the Ottawa river to the Dominion capital, where a guide showed us around the i)ar- liament buildings. Tul•^day night was si)ent here in congenial surround- ings. Wednesday we drove to Peter- l)oroi)gh through some very wild and primitive country by No. 7 higliway, through Carlton Place, Actinolite, Madoc, Marmora, Havelock and Nor- wood to Peterboro, here we viewed a world wonder, the lift lock, and other sections of a beautfiul city. Thence' we dove to Lindsay, and Thursday we lirove to Orillia, Barrie and home, af- ter one of the most delightful holidays it has ever been our privilege to enjoy and without even the smallest Hn- pleasant incident. For a trip em- bracing the scenic and historical, it cannot be beaten. On our trip we found crops good around Montieal and Ottawa, where they appear to have had abundance of rain. Lindsay district seemed to have been hit the hardest by the drought. Huddy Re-Uidion Members of the Huddy family held a re-union on Monday last on the old homestead on the South line at which all members were present except the youngest, Mrs. Hugh Waters, deceas- ed. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Herb Campbell and daughter, Montreal; Mr. and Mrs. Ted Branipston and children, Toronto, Ml', and Mrs. W. Brawley, Beaton, .\Iis. James Dingwall and daughter Knima. Mr. mul Mrs. Rr)v Dingwall and children of Cedarville, Mr. and Mrs. C. Watson, .Myrtle and Arthur, I'urham, Mr. and Mrs. Georg*: Late John Whitten For many years associated with his son in the building business in the west end of the city previous to his retirenu^nt several years ago, John Whitten died at his residence, 489 St. Clarens avenue, in his 90th year. He had been in poor health for eight months. He was bom in County Armagh, Ireland, during the potato famine, which caused his clan to emigrate to Canada. His family settled in Grey County, hewing their homes from the woodlands of the country south of where Markdale now stands. In his younger days he mie and children, Dromore.

When it comes to paying extrava- gant salaries to radio stars the Briti.sh films are determined not to be over-shadowed by those of the United States. Miss Merle Oberon, the noted beauty, is advertised as receiving $00,000 for her new picture, in addi- tion to an advance "luck penny" of .$10,000 cash. The old land caterers to amusement lovers were rather slow in waking up, but they are now pay- in'j- for the best pictures, and getting them, too. • • • War veteran pilgrims returning from the great ceremony in which King Edward unveiled the beautiful Vimy memorial, are strong in their testimony that the monument is well worth the million dollars that it cost. The French share is the contribution of several hundred acres of land in (he centre of the battleground, which have been declared forever British territory. And well it may be so designated, for under its sacred soil lie the bodies of fi0,000 Canadians, the flower of our population, who gave thiir lives that liberty and justice Young People's Picnic Between 50 and tiO of St. John's I'nited Church young people met at the church about 4.30 on Thursday afternoon last and proceeded to II»gg's Falls for a picnic. Small improvised stoves were made with rocks and soon the air was filled with the aroma of frying bacon and eggs. .After supper four hotly-contested volley ball games were played. By this time darkness was fast closing in and with a good supply of wood, a splendid camp fire was then en- .joyed. A good old fashioned sing song was conducted with a few com- petitive songs. After a few sand- man stories, Mr. Service said how pleased he was to be associated with such a splendid group of young peo- rde, and it was with real anticipation that he looked forward to the coming fall and winter work among them. The picnic was formally closed with the singing of the National Anthem. CHAPPLE â€" BIBBY A (luiet but pretty wedding was solemnized at Meaford. when Miss Marion V. Bibby, daughter of Mrs. and the late Dr. F. T. Bibby of Flesherton, was united in marriage to Mr. Walter IT. Chappie, Meaford, The marriage took place on Saturday, •luly 11th.

Thi" , liiii competition, it is gaid, has be«n ellectively combatted by the enter- prising railway nu'ii, whose motto is "clicap, fast and safe travel." Can- adian railway authorities do woil to make a note of the experience of old lanil travel experts. • * • Two cars came together with a <-rash on oin' main corner Tuesday niiM'ning, but very little damage was s\iffered by either veliicle. The at-cident occurred by one driver neg- lecting to obey the "stop" sign when entering a through highway. Again at noon the same day another car went over the inter»ection without stoppng, and iwrrowly missed crash- ing another car. It is said that "a miss Is as good as a mile," but the driver may not be so fortunate a sec- ond time and serious injury might bo the result. Obey the signs and so enjoy life for many years! Lures the sportsman's eager glance. butterflies and bees are swinging As the blossoms nod and swing. And the sweet songbirds are winging Thro' the wot>ds on n .summer day Such a spot is over calling Those now longing for its rest, Kor the lull of waters falling, For the dreams I love the best. And the song the maple sings me Is a welcome from the glen, .Vnd the thrill its music gives me Always calls me back again. So! Away roll care and worry. Let us tramp the oft-trod trail.
