Soldier Lads Grateful
Somewhere in France,
Aug, 19th, 1916.
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. WARD,

COUNCIL MEETING
Wingltani May Possibly Secure a Caeket
Factory
The Town Council met iu the Ooun-
oil Chamber at 815 on '.Tuesday even-
ing, Sept. 5th. 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.

THE BOYS NEED MUSIC
Interesting Letter from Sergi,
E. S. 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 -
