The four young men were journeying from their summer .camp at Camp Stevens to Mjinaki when the accident occurred, In some unknown manner the canoe overturn­ ed, far out on the lake. For nearly an hour the quartet drifted with the canoe, grimly clinging to the sides, hoping to attract attention from a passing craft which did not dome. Finally McLarn-on, a strong swimmer- volunteered to swim to shore. But' his long period in tihe water had ex­ hausted him. He sank before swim­ ming 5 0 yards and out of reach of rescue.

He was not married. Mrs. Birney left Toronto Monday evening for Winnipeg. DECORATION DAY Large Crowd at Cemetery—Legion l*l«ces Wreath at Cenotaph Ideal weather prevailed for the Decoration Day services which were held Sunday afternoon. This beau­ tiful service of Remembrance is one of the outstanding events of the summer and large crowds gather at the Exeter cemetery to pay their tribute of respect to loved ones who have departed. The Exeter ceme­ tery is one of the most attractive to be found anywhere and it was in splendid condition on Sunday, con­ sidering the dry weather. Flowers adorned many of the graves placed there by loved ones. The Exeter branch of the Cana­ dian Legion before going to the cemetery held a befitting service at the Cenotaph, They assembled south of the town and headed by the Dashwood band marched to the cen­ otaph under the command of presi­ dent Thos. Pryde. Rev. Hugh Tay­ lor, of Thames Road, led in prayer and delivered a short address. He emphasised the fact that the fallen comrades wlro had made the supreme sacrifice in the Great War had not died in vain. Many things have happened and many disappointments have come yet those who had given of their lives had not died in vain, MV. Taylor had been promoted from the ranks and in the ranks and the officers’ mess had looked in sorrow upon the vacant places tha-t contin­ ually took place. He said that de­ picting the horrors of wa>r would never stop war. The only hope was creating a brotherhood; a brother­ hood that would stop the possibili­ ties of war. He remembered seeing upon the walls of a dugout one of those famous cartoons oif Ba'irns- father with a picture of the Kaiser and “01’ Bill” and the words “What an awful mess you have made of the name of William.” What are we making of life? It matters not what job we are in as long as we are making .the best of it. Are we play­ ing the game, upholding the cause we fought for; fighting the battles of peace which are just as impor­ tant as the battles of war and far more fruitful. Bugler Bere sounded the "Last Post” and Comrade McArthur plac­ ed a wreath at 'the foot of the ceno­ taph. Several friends also deposited flowers. .Revallie was sounded and the service concluded with the band playing the National Anthem. The members of the Legion re­ assembled at the cemetery and there placed a flower on the graves of comrades, who have passed away since the war. Following the service by the Leg­ ion the members of the I. 0. O. F. headed by Bro. E. A. Howald, as Marshall, and Bro. W. E. Middleton, Noble Grand, marched through the cemetery and placed forty-nine flow- (Contained on page 4.) GIVES HIMSELF UP On Tuesday afternoon Mr. Her­ man W. Doerr, former superinten­ dent of the Public Utilities Commis­ sion in Exeter, walked into the of­ fice of Magistrate C. A. Reid, of Goderich, and .surrendered himself up. He said he was “sick and tired of it all” and was ready to stand trial. He was accompanied by his brother. He was charged with tak­ ing three one thousand dollar bonds the property of the Public Utilities Commission. The accused man, who was not represented by counsel, in­ timated that he was prepared to stand summary trial and to plead, but the magistrate advised against this and remanded him to jail for a week. Looking wan, but greatly relieved after the short court proceedings Doerr, a well set up and neatly dressed man of 46, made no applica­ tion for bail, although he gave an affirmative answer to the question if he was prepared to supply it. There being no policeman about, Doerr and his brother proceeded the short distance to the county jail un­ accompanied by the law and a few minutes later, the prisoner was lock­ ed up. A Week ago it was indicated that he was prepared to give himself up, to make resstitution and to stand trial. A deputation from Exe­ ter, composed of a clergyman, a former member of the legislature, the Chairman and members of the P. IT. C. visited Goderich and made representation on Doerr’s behalf, Mrs, Wm, H. Dearing had a bad spell with her heart on Friday of last week and has since been confin­ ed to her bed quite seriously ill. Her friends will be pleased to know that at present she is spinewhat improved. MASONS ATTEND CHURCH AT CRED1TON The members of Lebanon Forest Lodge A.F. & A..M. attended Divine worship at the United Church in Crediton on Sunday evening. There are a number from Crediton who are members .of the Masonic Order in­ cluding Rev. Mr. Johnson pastor of the United church and for the first lime in the history of Crediton a ’Masonic service was held at that •place. About sixty members, as­ sembled at the township .hall in Crediton and headed by ith© Tyler, Bro. Sam’l Sweet paraded to church and 'occupied the -centre pews. Mr. Johnston delivered a very splendid message to the brethren, many fav­ orable comments being heard fol­ lowing the service. He took for his text ‘Revelations 21st chapter 15th verse “And the city lieth four square.” St. John gives a descrip­ tion of the heavenly Jerusalem, a city of four walls, a. perfect square and. the conception of this perfect Jioly city “The New Jerusalem.” John might be spoken of as a specu­ lative builder. It is toward that city -of holiness and vision, that our anc*- ient Masonic order would have us build. The speaker spoke 'of the pyramids of Egypt, the hanging gardens of Babylon and the temple of Solomon which were the wonders of the world. These, were great achieve­ ments, the outcome of a .soul-long­ ing seeking to give expression to spiritual yearnings. In our spirit­ ual aspirations we are the succes­ sors of these great builders. Without the thought of immortality (the py­ ramids of Egypt or the temples of Babylon would never have been built. Without the conception of the God of Mercy -dwelling .with men the temple of Jerusalem, that glory of the world, of its day, would never has been erected. The .Masonic story and legion about the building of the temple is interesting and sug­ gestive. The speaker told of the part played by Hiram, King of Tyre, and Hiram Abiff, Passing from that period and over many centuries the speaker referred to tlie period of cathedral building, built under the direction of the monks but the lay brethren built their lives into those walls. The guilds end crafts of master-masons that survived that period are the immediate forerun­ ners of masonry. The speaker stated that with the introduction he wished to consider the four chief walls of speculative masonry, such as Education, ’Citi­ zenship, Good Will -and Faith. Mr. Johnson mentioned that when speaking of masonry and its ideals he was not making the claim of per­ fection in the attainment of these (Oontnlued on page 4.)
