BINGO
FRIDAY, JANUARY 25th
Canadian Legion Rooms
at 8.30. Admission 2,5c.
Over eighty persons were present
lit the business men’s banquet at the
Central Hotel on Friday evening of
last week. Mine Host, J. J. Cox, the
new proprietor of the hotel, provid
ed a very sumptuous repast. Unfor
tunately the chief promoter of the
banquet, Mr. George Lawson, was
laid up through illness and was un
able to be present. The dining room
of the hotel was packed and a few
were unable to get in. At the con
clusion of the supper and in the ab
sence of Mr. Lawson, Reeve Thomas
Pryde, acted as chairman. With Rev.
A. E. Elliott at the piano and with
H. O. Southcott leading, a splendid
sing-song was enjoyed.
Seated -at the head table were the
new members cf the council, James
Morley, H. C. Rivers, J. W. Hern
and Dr. G. F. Roulstun, Clerk Jos.
Senior; Wm. May, ch'airnlan of the
Board of Education; W. G. Medd, ex-
M.L.A., and others. The members of
rhe council were first called upon to
make a few remark's. Dr. Roulstan
spoke of Exeter as a place of beau
tiful homes and splendid business
places and that it was up to each
and all of us to boost it all we
cculd.
Mr. Medd stated that Exeter was
well provided in all lines of business
and educational facilities but that we
were lacking in providing for the re
creational life of the village. He was
glad to know that bowling was go
ing to be revived next summer. He
legretted that the young people
were without the privilege of a rink
this winter. He felt that some cen
tral organization should be respon
sible for locking after the recrea
tion of the youth of the community.
Mr. H. O. Southcott entertained
the gathering with a couple of read
ings.
Mr„ J. H. Jones believed that we
have a town of -which we all aught to
feel proud. He had at various times
heard complimentary remlarks about
Exeter and its citizens from travel
lers who had visited Exeter. Like
wise he had heard some criticism
about the way the traffic laws were
observed, for example, the failure
to stop before coming onto the Main
. meet. With the removal of the
telephone lines from the Main street
and the taking away of the old curb
he had heard various suggestions
about fixing up the 'sidewalks and
street. He thought that some sys
tem cf ornamental lighting cn both
sides of the Main street would be a
great improvement. He was delight
ed with the way the Committee are
working on the Old Boys and Old
Girls Reunion.
Mr. William May, chairman of the
Board of Education, gave some in
formation about the high and public
school. Outside of the toilet system
things were fairly comfortable at
the 'school. Mr. May gave some fi
gures as to the cost of running the
high school in Exeter <ajs compared
with the cost in seme other places
and showed that the cost in Exeter
was the lowest. The more pupil's
that could be pursuaded to attend
Exeter H. S. from the surrounding
community meant a reduction in cost
to the ratepayers of Exeter.
J. M. Southcott, agreed with Mr.
Medd in that more attention should

HOCKEY STICK IS GIFT OF
SCORING ACE
Mervin, the isix-year-old son of
Mr, and Mrs. Arthur Jones is the
proud possessor of a hockey stick,
the personal gift of Charlie Conach-
er, scoring ace of the Toronto Maple
Loafs. On the stick is inscribed
“To Mervin Janes. Best regards,
Charlie Conaclier” and with this is
the, autograph of sixteen fellow
members of the Maple Leaf team.
The stick was accompanied witUi a
liockey calender with pictures and a
progiam. Mervin is an ardent
hockey fan and although unable to
read he can pick out the pictures of
the various players of the Maple
Leaf team. Mr. and Mrs. Jones
were visited recently by their cous
in, Miss MacEwan, of Toronto, and
being impressed with the. lad’s en-
thuisi'asm made known the fact to
Charlie and needless to say Charlie
is more than ever a regular hero in
the mind of at least one Exeter lad.

Margaret Durward, of Simcoe, Ont.;
one from Mrs. D. E. Roadhouse, ot
Toronto and one from Messrs. Thos.

H. Ogden writes from Stoughton,
Sask., that she left here in 1906 and
furnishes a fine list of names and
addresses from 'the West. A very in
teresting letter has been received
from Dr. Beattie Martin, of Regina,
who reports that both he and his
brother Mr. Justice Melville Martin
expect to be here. A former gener
ation will remember ^Ir. S. J. A.
Boyd, who was the efficient principal
of cur Public School for three years
over thirty years ago. tie is re
membered as the principal to. whom
every boy touched hfe cap when
meeting him on the street. He writes
from Los Angeles, Cal.,— “Much wa
ter has gone under the bridge in 30
years. I wag indeed glad to hear
o.gain from the old Devonshire town.
I learned to love it in the three years
I served there. Delighted also to
know you are having a reunion be
fore all the “Old Guard" cross the
“Divide." If possible I shall try to
attend, Doubtless God, in His wis-
dom could have made a better class
of people than those in Exeter, but
doubtless He never did. For the
sake of the days that were I shall
love to visit with my pupils, 'their
children and grandchildren, possibly.
Best wishes for the success of the Re
union in July."
