To Organize A War Time Citizens’ Committee A public meeting for the purpose of forming a War Time Citizens Committee will be held in the Exeter Arena on Wednesday, June 12th, See advt. page four* COMMUNICATION An incident which is worth re­ cording happened on Huron street on Tuesday. This road, is being pre­ pared for a permanent road surface and the tar had just been put on. During the afternoon a man driv­ ing a horse and buggy came along but the horse refused to cross over to the other side of the road. The driver applied whip and had to back up and go up a side street. Another, man came along shortly afterwards and had the same trouble with his horse, but the driver got down from his seat, went to the head of his horse, spoke kindly to it, took the bridle and as a consequence the beast walked across the road and into the yard w^hout any trouble. A merciful man is merciful to his beast.
