Greer, Athol McQuarrie, Dr. Byron Campbell, John Moon, R. C. King, A. F. Forbes, W. H. Pearson and: Mrs. A. Becker. President Geo. E. Ferguson made an ideal chairman and Master of Ceremonies. He has a good voice but he needs to get closer to the “Meg.” Dr. W. H. Butt, School Trustee, led a good contingent from the sev­ enth ward. He is a good mixer and certainly has a successful municial future in store for- him. Just watch him get to the top of the ladder. Mayor Jas Simpson was early on the job and was a very welcome vis­ itor. He led in the Grand March with Miss Ferguson, of Seaforth, sister of the president, and made a beautiful five minute address later in the evening. Shingles! British Columbia XXXX X Best grade at $3.60 per square A. J. CLATWORTHY Ohone No. 12, GRANTON General sympathy was expressed for Mrs. J. A. McLaren, who has been confined to her home for the past three months with a serious illness, but is now on the way to rapid re­ covery. She was much missed. Mr. Geo. Spotton, M.P. North Hur- ;n, came all the way from Ottawa to make his first debut to the Huron O.d Boys’ Association of Toronto. He got a good reception; brought greet­ ings from Mr. Goldings M.P. South Huron and made a neat little ad­ dress. H. M. Jackson, Egmondville Old Boy, told of the time when his father was the Conservative candidate in South Huron and E. Floody was teaching school in ‘Tipperary, Goder­ ich Township. H. M. is. always on the job at Huron Old Boys’ functions Mr. R. L. Rome, Blyth Old Boy, spoke of the time when the west side of B'yth was a goose pasture, his father’s farm running right into the village. Principal J. A. Cameron of Earls- eourt Public School and Bayfield Old Boy, was one of the busiest men on the floor. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Campbell, vice- presidents, fprmerly of Wingham, supervised the program, euchre and bridge with military precision. We have not obtained a list of the prize winners. The Learned Professions were well represented, and how could it be otherwise with a gathering of Hur­ on ites. There were lawyers and doctors galore. Pedagogues High and Fub’ic were as thick as the flowers in a May garden. “How does the County of Huron grow such big men” inquired a re­ porter as she looked at Messrs. Spot­ ton, McLaren and McDermid. No answer. A fire in the residence of Mr. H. B. Stowe only a few days ago kept Mr. and Mrs. Stowe away from the Reunion, whose absence every per­ son regretted. The Exeter Old Boys Reunion was announced by S. J. Hicks and was greatly applauded. jStan Long’s orchestra supplied the music and did it well. It was snap­ py and plenty of it—far-reaching so to speak. Past President R. C. King was in­ disposed and could not make the grade and he was much missed. Mr. Wm. Powell, Treasurer, and foreman of the "Huron Expositor” was early on the ground and looking after the cash. His journalistic name is "Bill Powl” and his wrti- ings are well known to most of the members. “AEam and, left” “grand: right and left” sounded like old times at the “old tyme” dances. Mr. S. J. Hicks was official “caller off” and with the use of the loud speaker did the best job that has ever been done for the ol,d timers. Ralph Sheppard, the new Secre­ tary, was born in Clinton, being a son of the late George Sheppard formerly assistant Prnicipal of ‘the Clinton Collegiate Institute. The beautiful badges worn by the officers were presented to the Assoc­ iation by Mr. D. D. Wilson, Past President, and Entry Secretary of the Royal Winter Fair. "Doug.” Wilson was always populai* with the members of the Association. Letters of regret were read from Mayor Hannah. Wingham; Mayor Sutherland of Seaforth and Mayor McEwan, of Goderich. Bert McCreath assisted President Ferguson in carrying out the Pro­ gram. Bert is always a live wire at Huron Old Boys’ functions. Ed. Floody, the Honorary Secre­ tary, attended a public function for the first time since his prolonged illness. He is his old genial self again and. was the centre of groups of friends all evening receiving con­ gratulations on his splendid recovery Music for the old time dance'was supplied by Jacks’ Orchestra, deriv­ ing its name from the fact that the members first names are Jack, this took a lot of time and patience and hunting the city by Mr. S. J. Hicks to assemble this together. Jack Moon piano player; jack Beatty, guitar player; Jack Morrison, violin; Jack Paton, violin; Jack Hicks, violin, son >of 8. J. Hicks, known as the 'kid fiddler, youngest player of old time music in Toronto being only 14 years old. Jack Beatty is widely known as a guitar player both in public and on the air. Morrison, Paton and Moon, are a real treat to hear, hav­ ing won their reputation long ago. the Twp. to ad- Saturday members The Municipal Council of yf Usbejne met pursuant ournment at EliniYille on February 2nd with all the /resent.
