To the Citizens of Wingham; It was with the greatest appreciat- ion that I have just lately received the highly appropriate g'fte of a razor, mirror and money, sent by the Citiz- apTe s of Wingham, These are greatly preciated and are highly useful, be- ing indispeneible to the soldier's kit, I remain, Sincerely yours, SIa. ARTHUR NEWMAN, Mrs. Jas. Mestere, Bluevale, put a note in the toe of the first pair of socks she knit for the soldiers and this week received the following from a soldier in the trenches in France. Dear Madam: Permit me to thank you for the sockereceived and I must compliment you on your first pair. They were is- sued to me the first day we left for the trenches. A soldier needs things of this kind for we have to go several days at a time without having our boots off. Once more thanking you, 1t remain, Yours sincerely, W. H.

All the members were present excepting Councillor Patter. eon, Hie Worship Mayor McKibben in the chair, Minutes of last meeting and special meeting were read and adopted. A communication was read fr urn the eauncil of Niagara Fails requestiug that Winghamfeounoil memorialize the Government askieg that tfficers and privates serving their King and Coun- try,should be treated with more ('quality. The letter explained that in many instances the private was super. ior to the officer before enlisting and should a private be maimed for life it would mean as much to him, and in many cases more, than to an officer. The communication was left over, The Finance Committee reported favorable to the passing of a number of accounts and on•motion of Council- lor Spotton and Tipling their report was adopted as read. Councillor Binkley, chairman of the Electric Light Committee reported the letting of the tender for cement to build the Lower Wingham dam to the Young Estate. The other tender was from Reeve Mitchell and both tenders were for the same figure with the ex- ception that the Young tender offered free storage, Mr. Gurney said that the committee was unanimous in giving the contract to the Young Estate, Reeve Mitchell pointed out that the tender did not call for storage or he would have given it. It merely called for cement f. o. b. C. P. R. station, Wingham. He said he was defending his boss, Mr. F. Gutteridge who _was an old established business man in town, and as he was in the cement business and Mr, Young in the salt business, he therefore thought. he should have got the preference. Court. Gurney, chairman of the pur- chasing committee, stated that the committee had acted in the best inter - este of the town and as they were em- powered to let the contract, which the did, he told the Reeve it was not his business to 'say anything further about the tender. • Cour]. Iebister, chairman of the prop- erty committee reported that Turn - berry council would only agree to pay a quarter of the cost of the sidewalk along Arthur St. from the corner of Water St. to the cemetery, and the cost must not exceed $40. Mr, Iebis- ter thought $40 would no more than rightly level the boles and he was sur- prised that Turnberry would pay no more than $10 toward a walk which would pass along in front of their own property and convenience town and country people alike, His committee would leave the matter of sidewalk over for the present. By-law No. 761. 1916—A by-law to provide for the construction of a con- crete dam to be placed on the north branch of the river Maitland and re- place what is commonly known as the Lower Wingham dam and to provide for the issuing and sale of debentures for said work, was read. Moyed by Binkley and Gurney that by-law 761 be passed as read.—Carried, Reeve Mitchell stated he had been asked by a ratepayer to bring before the council a request that a highboard fence, which voile the view of his pro perty, be removed at least as far back as the front of bis verandah. The council found they bad no power to remove fence, and the only way for the plaiutiif to anneal is to the County Judge. Mr. Pound complained to the coun- cil that he was assessed $5.21 for a sewer that never existed, The matter was left with the sewer committee to investigate and if there is no sewer there they will have the matter ad. justed. Mr, A. J. Armstrong asked the council for a refund of part of his dog taxes. He paid $3 but parted with his dog about the first of June, Moved by Binkley and Gurney that Mr. Arm• strong be refunded $1.50 for dog tax-- Cart'ied. Mr. Harding also reported paying $4 dog tax for two dogs, one of which died some months ago. Moved by Tipling and Mitchell that Mr, Harding be refunded $2.50 for dog tax over. paid—Carried. Chief Allen reported that several people were kicking to him about their dog taxes. The Mayor thought it beet to haveem Lh appeal :Teat to the council co Wait and they would do the right thing with them but the chief would Contin- ue collecting the dog taxes ae accessed, Councillor Tipling mentioned that Mr, F.

Copeland Somewhere In France 1 DI'r.Olt ADVANWit,. Dear Sir, --- I have a clipping from THE AD—Valera, to hand which is a little erroneous. In the first place, I am only second in charge of the Y. M. C. A. mentioned, being directly responsible to Oapt, E, B. Archibald, famous Canadian ath- lete and pole vaulter, now a Y.M.C.A officer in France. In the second place, that although the Y.M,C,A. was plac- ed at the disposal of the military authoritiee during the battle, it was not necessary to use it, The very capable Canadian ltM1 Groes Units ably handled all the wounded with the equipment they had on hand. Certainly we helped these splendid unite in the handling of the wounded. Captain Archibald himself lifted the stretchers from'the ambulances from seven o'clock one evening till eight next morning without ever taking a rest, the rest of the staff helped in the beet way we could, carrying stretchers, running errands, bringing bandages, etc, However, we did not have to ad- minister any first aid because all our work took place at least ten miles from the firing line and all the patients had been dressed once before we saw them. It is here that our brave, self-sacri- ficing Canadian nursing sisters first come in contact wlth the wounded. Juet here I would like to pay a tribute to these brave girls who have come so far from home and given up so much to look after our wounded. During the rush I eaw them work hours and hours without ceasing. They always had a smile and a cheery word for the poor chaps who had been "etraffed" and never once did I hear a word of complaint about tho long hours or the strenuous nerve taxing work. Tbe British Empire is justly proud of their women who have risen to every oc casion and have so well filled the posi- tions of men in almost every sphere of work. Truly, we received a letter of thanks for our voluntary assistance in a time of need, but that was simply a matter of courtesy on the part of the O. 0, in question. Those who know the O. C. and staff of the 1st Bade, Y. M, C. A. will know that we are always watch. ing for an opportunity to help mater- ially. It was very kind of you 1Vir. Editor to mention the fact that music would be very acceptable here. It certainly is. The officers commanding the differ- ent Infantary Battalions say that there is nothing like a concert to cheer up the men and make them happy after they have a trying turn up the line, Since the let of July last it has been my particular duty to provide amuse- ments for the men in the vicinity of our ke, M. 0. A. and I have been at it leng enough now to know all the diffi- culties of organizing and carrying through a successful concert. How- ever, I have been particularly success- ful and when -the month of July is over I will have had at least twenty good lively concerts and twenty-two moving picture shows. Our concerto often have as many as eighteen num- bers and lasts for two hours and half. We have never yet had one that "dragged" or was slow and no matter how little spirit there is in the and - (Continued on page 4) PATRIOTIC NOTES The receipts from the Systematic Givinge for month of August are as follows:—Ward 1, $26.83; Ward 2, $40,30; Ward 3;541.75; Ward 4, $30.20; Ward 5, $3,80.
