BANQUETED BEFORE LEAVING von ENGLAND Some twenty-five young men of this community enjoyed a very plea- sant time 011 Tuesday evening when they gathered together in the lunch- room of Wilson & Sims to pay trib- ute to one of Exeter's young men and returned soldiers, Mr. Bert Riv- ers who, with his 'wife, is leaying town, and intends sailing for Man- chester, Eng., on Saturday. The party sat down to a well -spread lunch, prepared by Messrs. Wilson & Sims. After lunch with Manor Heaman as toastmaster, several toasts were giv- en. In their remarks the boys spoke in very highest terms of )3ert and the sentiment was of sincere regret in. losing bim as a citizen. Bert has al- ways taken unite an active interest in the different sports of the town. He was a member ' of the 161st Battalion, and was one of the first draft that was sent to France. In 1917 he eeeeiVed 'wounds an the bat- . eld which necessitated sending him to England and was placed in Manchester hospital. In this hospital further romance took place for Bert fell in love with his nurse and as Major Heaman stated, though he had overcome being captured by the Germans was now made a captive for life. In September Mr. Rivers with his fair bride arrived in Can- ada and have spent the most of the time in Exeter, where especially Mrs. Rivers has made many new friends. Mr. Rivers in his reply, ex- pressed his feeling towards his friends and this, his home town. He stated that he was sorry for having to leave. He little expected that he would have been returning so soon but unforseen events had occurred and now his best interests and great- er opportunities were in Manchester. And though he was leaving Canada he would never be separated from his home and good friends in this country in spirit, and deeply thanked the boys for being so kind.
