I wish to calf the attention - of the citizensof (rir progressive village to the fact th;t other towns and villages around as are having - reunions of their old time boys and _' friends. On Sunday last the thought was more forcibly impressed on my mind by the fact of se many of our former boys and girls being present at the church servicea held on that date. This is an evidence of the love they still have for.the old home. At James St. United) church both morning and evening we had Exeter Old Bpys for the pulpit supply and ..1111111 also one who rendered •a solo .and -" we re sure that anyone will admit tha they area cr edit `to our village as well as to the zselves.. Now what is the matter with our council taking up the questions of a reunion of our old friends in Exeter in 1926. We are sure they would get the sup- port of the various "societies and churches of the village. By getting to work early on this matter we can in 1925 give our old friends an of- ficial welcome and renew for a few days the friendships of the past. Now Mr. Editor, we Dave a village of which. we are prod and I am sure that if this matt' is taken in hand at once by our council and good,'live committees 4ppointed we couYd put on a reunion that. would be a credit to one and aramini .101 100111.4 MIMS ill Thanking you, I re ale A ell Wisher RETURNED FROM EUROPE Mr. Case R.

Following his return the New York Times contained the fol lowing: "Mr. Howard said the French are now feeling the strain of their marvelous record of recon- struction of the ruined - districts, The low • franc rate, hey added -'is just a sequel of, the loans contract ed to pay for this reconstruction.. Through the ` astuteness, of Finance Ministei. Caillaux, he 'e 1,. the . Gov- ernmerit may obtain popular back - gold coupon loan and the ultimate ing for the new French 4 per cent. lower revalution of the franc. This year's crop prospects in Prance are good, according to Mr. Howard's investigations, which is encouraging in view of the failure of the crops during the past two Era years. The- area planted to sugar beets is smaller this year, however.
