During the even- ing the following address was read by Miss Dorothy Jamieson and a pre- sentation of a studio couch was made by Messrs. Jas. Hale and Jas. Haley, after which the receipents made fit- ting replies. Dear Dolly and Lloyd: We, your friends are here to-night To wish you a future glad and bright, And to you both to truly say i That we're glad you jjassed our way. In Ottewell's home there was one daughter. In house-keeping arts her mother taught her, She answered to the name of Dolly Was slim and smart, and oh so jolly. At Stephen's, â- 'arther down the line, Lived Lloyd, a son so tall and fine, A wife he very badly wanted So down to Ottewell's he jaunted For many a day he courted their lass And coaxed and teased 'till she said, "yes." How joyfully then back home he flew He'd found a good cook -well he knew. For July 8th, the day was set. Friends and relatives at Ottewell's met There Dolly and Lloyd became man and wife. Promising loyalty all through life. Even with rationed tires and gas, Lloyd can still see his bonny lass. For there at Ottewell's he lives, Tlicre a helping hand he gives. Now, dear friends, we wish you well, With joy so much we cannot tell. Do, please, accept this little token Of our best wishes and love unspoken As you sit upon this couch You'll have comfort we can vouch. May it help you keep in mind Ti-uer friends arc hard to find. May God ai>ove be your constant guide, To safely lead whate'er ibetlde. In joy or sorrow as IH*; seee 'best 'Neath His protecting wings find rest. The weather doesn't please all of the people some of the time or some of the people all of the time. U.S.A. tourists spent $89,000,000 in Canada last year.

Navy fuel oil, petro- leum for the manufacture of explosives, synthetic rubber, and gasoline for war industry, farming and efssential truck- ing all have been taken from Canada's oil supply â€" it doesn't leave a lot for the civilian! Figure it out for yourself. It takes 5,250,(X)0 gallons of gasoline to fuel 5,000 bombers and fighters for a mission over Germany. It takes Enough oil for one fueling of a battleship to heat an average house for 350 years. It takes 18,000 gallons of gasoline to keep one armoured division on the move for one hour. From petroleum and petroleum gases we obtain the gasoline and fuels needed to power planes and ships and tanks as well as the raw material for acetone, ammonia and toluol for ex- plo.sives, organic chemicals for an- aesthetics, naphthas for camouflage paints and plastics and resins for war weapons production.

Two full years of gasoline rationing and fuel oil control in Canada have saved 393,000,000 gallons of gasoline and 175 million gallons of fuel oil â€" a total saving of 568,000,000 gallons of petroleum products.
