Following is a portion of the ad- dress of His Lord-ship, Mr. Justice Orde to the Grand Jury at Monday atternoon's session ot the Supreme Court: "May I be, permitted on this my first visit to the County ot Lincoln since my recent appointment to the Bench, to tell you that I consider it a very great honor indeed to address the representatives ot a County whose history is so bound up with that of this province. Not only in having been the scene of those early struggles for the supremacy of the British crown of which the Battle of Queenston Heights is such a striking example but in having been the home of the first larliamentary Govern- ment for the Province of Ontario, the County of Lincoln ha been a factor in the promotion of British. freedom and British methods of government in Canada."

The members of the Bell Telephone operating staff presented Miss Hazel MdCallum, whose marriage takes place in the near 'future, with a mis- cellaneous shower at the home of Miss Hazel Seaman, Robinson Street South, on Tuesday Evening, March 2nd. The evening was spent in music and games. At eleven o’clock a dainty supper was served at which Miss McCallum was presented with a "tray"' laden with gifts. Although taken completely by surprise, Miss McCallum made a splendid speech, thanking the girls tor their kindness and saying how very much she had enjoyed her associations with them since she had been a member of the staff At a. late hour the girls left for their homes after wishing Miss Mc- Callum every happiness in the future and thanking Miss Seaman for a very pleasant evening. The citizens of the GRIMSBY Dis- trict will be given a treat in Moore's Theatre, on TUESDAY EVENING of next week, MARCi16th, the like of which they have not enjoyed in many moons, when the nation-famed cartoonist and entertainer, J.W. Ben.- gough will appear in his inimitable repertoire-assisted by hand-picked local talent, to tickle the risibi1ities ot all those who appreciate good,' clean, entertainment. As an automobile fender a Texan has invented a huge rubber ball that is intended to envelop a pedestrian it hits, the air that he, forces out of it setting brakes on the car. And tor once "Terry" and "Teddy" couldn’t find words to express their appreciation; but they blushed beau- tifully. His Lordship took occasion to com- pliment Mr. Terence McCarron and Mr. E. H. Lancaster on the masterly way in which they had conducted the case of Whitten vs. Burtweli! The justice said it didn't do young men who were beginning their career a bit of harm to hear an occasional word of praise, especially when praise was merited, as ft was in this case. He was glad to know that the young men were so worthily following in the foot- steps of their tathera---men who had ‘achieved splendid reputations for their. legal ability. Hi; Lordship commented upon the fact that both young men had served with distinc- tttrrrHttHtttr"Xhatr"'Wtrr,"iuttr- 1itCtottlt the occasion to welcome them back to "civil lite. He would watch their careers with a great deal of interest; and they could feel assured ot his best wishes. One ot those happy little incidents that were so frequent during the sit- tings of supreme court, under the presidency ot Hon. Mr. Justice Orde, occured Just prior to adjournment last week. The happy young coupler-who are of the most popular in the District-- left on the 1:58 train tor points west on a short honeymoon, and upon their return will take up residence in Mount Pleasant, Ontario. The "1NDEPEN- DENT" Joins their many friends in wishing them many pleasant years of happiness, together, in this vale of tears. Immediately after the ceremony, the assembled guests, of which there were none but immediate relatives and close and intimate friends sat down to a simple breakfast; during which the toasts to the Bride and Groom were called and answered to very briefly. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Thos. W. Pickett, ot Toronto, uncle ot the groom; assisted by the Rev. J. A. McLachlan, pastor ot the Methodist Church; ot which both the contracting parties are energetic mem- bers;-and neither, the bride or the groom were attended. The bride was attired in a becoming going away cos; tume of tailored blue, with small hat to,match and was very charming, as she entered the rooms to be present- ed in marriage by her Father. ' A very quiet but extremely pretty wedding took place, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. Scout- en,' Main Street East, GRIMSBY, on Tuesday afternoon, March 9, 1920, at twelve o’clock noon; when their only daughter, Margaret, was united in mar- riage to Charlton Harold, son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Pickett, North GRIMSBY.

' This indeed speaks very highly for the superintendency of the matron in charge and we wish to extend to her our congratulations on the efficiency throughout and her untiring efforts on behalf of the patients confined there. It was pointed out to us that when the full number of patients, which this institution can accommo- date, are there, that the institution is self-sustaining, but when it drops be low a certain number that it is far from self-sustaining and, we would .r.tt9gyt.lr.cttytyrPrery,i and advise. the municipalities in this district,' Whose. inhabitants are cared for therein to grant every assistance to this very worthy and charitable cause. Owing to the outbreak of the pre- vailing epidemic of influenza the County Industrial Home is at pres- ent closed to visitors. We ascertain- ed however that all patients, with the exception of one, are now con- valescent. No deaths occurred that can be attributed to the prevailing malady. It was im visit the C. and to notic out and the To many of us.who have Irndwn the late Sir Glenholme Falconbridge by sight and in his official capacity as Chief Justice of the Kings Bench Di- vision of the Supreme, Court of On-. tario, it is with deep feeling of re- gret that we learned ot his untimely demise, and we wish to express to the mernhers of his family, to the Brother members of the Bepeh,, and hisfriends at the Bar and the citi- zens at large, our deepest sympa- thy in his death. p We also visited the Children's Shelter and find that the play ground and the grounds in connection with the Ibuilding ‘are ample tor the gen- eral welfare of the children. We do not intend to criticize the condition ot the buildings as we are advised that the alterations are being made and an.addition in the shape ot a wing being added to the main build- ing, which will overcome the. condi- tions, which if these alterations were not being made would be a subject matter of report. But we notice in the children's playroom an open fire- place which was not adequately pro- tected in such a manner as to be an absolute safeguard against the child- ren falling into the fire. But again on this point we have been advised that this matter will be remedied with the completion of alterations. It was indeed a pleasure for us to visit the Consumptives Sanatorium, and to notice, the cleanliness through out and the great care, which was quite evident, it being administered to the unfortunate patients therein.

GRAND JURY REPORT $1.50 PER YEAR, 4c PER COPY I Reeve Farrel, GRIMSBY, acting as jchairman, introduced Mr. J. A. M. Liv- ingston, Hontoraae-secre.tars of the GRIMSBY District Memorial Commit-. tee, who gave a brief outline of the work done by his Committee, leading up to the proposed memorial which he submitted" for consideration ;---this' lbeing in the shape of a large cairn and cross to be erected on a site on, Mr. Hamilton Fleming stated he would oppose the motion; but were the word "memorial" deleted from it, he would support it---and approach the Memorial question from another angle. In this he was supported by Mr. J . A. M. Livingston, Count. W. H. VanDuzer and John Hunter, North GRIMSBY, and he placed his suggestion in the form of an amenbment to the motion; but it was refused by the mover ot the. motion and the, chair. The motion carried, Mr. Hamilton Fleming and Mr. J. A. M. Livingston immediately offered their resignations from the GRIMSBY Dis- trict Memorial Committee, as they could not reconcile their finer feelings to service on a committee which so far used the sacrifice of others as a stepping stone toward the erection of of a commercialized memorial for their own benefit, as it were. The resignations were accepted. The meeting adjourned. A mass meeting of the ratepayers of the Village, and township of North GRIMSBY, was held in the Council Chambers on Monday evening, Mar. 8, and was very poorly attended. A number ot the Councillors of each municipality were absent; and many of the members of the Memorial Com- mittee were not present. The meet- ing, having been called at the instance ot the Committee, to discuss proposals brought forward relative to the erec- tion of a suitable memorial to per- petuate the memories of those men from this district who gave their lives in the Great War. he submitted .. tor consideration ;--thisy being in the shape of a large cairn and cross to be erected on a site om the "Point" above the village. Mr. Livingston stated he realized that it would require a considerable expendi- ture of money; and that an education- al propaganda would be necessary to inculcate the proper sentiment and spirit into the people in order to bring this plan to fruition: but thought the time and money wout'd be well spent. In comparing the two proposals, Mr. Livingston stated he was person- ally antagonistic to the latter, as he considered it a “commercializing of the dead"-tind an improper manner in which to show the true appreciation of the sacrifices the men of this Dis- trict had made. The meeting discussed the two pro- posals at great length and many di- vergent views were expressed. A motion was finally brought down, moved by W. F. Randall, and second- ed by J. Orlan Livingston, "that this meeting after listening to the discus: sion in the matter of the erection of a suitable Memorial to our fallen heroes, recommend that a Memorial Hall be erected; and that the Councils of the Villagemf ‘GRIMZSBY _. and the "Town” ship of North GRIMSBY proceed at once, to the completion of the scheme" Mr. Livingston, as President of the local branch of the G. W. V. A. of C., instructed by his Executive Commit- tee, also submitted a tentative scheme for the erection of a Memorial Hall, to be used as municipal offices and buildings; as clubrooms tor the War Veterans, and Ladies' Auxiliary of that Association", and generally as a. community hall for the benefit and use of the residents of the'two municipal- ities.
