A CORRECTION
Wingham, Sept, 21st„ 1916
Editor ADVANCE
Dear Sii:—
Will you kindly allow me a little
space wherin to correct a false report
about me and my wife. I have been
told by several that we were not only
turned out from the home of Mr.
Mitchell, but also from the home of
my parents, with whom for the past
few weeks we have been staying until
we had furnished our new home.• We
were never;turned out of my parent's
a;, jkome but have always been treated
with kindness, and the one who cir-
culated that report has cirulated a lie
and a wilful one withal.
Yours Truly
adv. HARRY WA'LTON

33RD. WILL VISIT HURON
Council at a Special Meeting Decides to
Give $6000 a Month.
At a meeting of the Warden and
Committee at Goderich last Wednes-
day, it was decided to call a epeeial
meeting of the County Council to die -
cuss the question of an increased grant
to the Patriotic Fund and also the
advisability of bringing to'thie County
the 33rd. Battalion now stationed at
London, with a view to stimulate re-
cruiting. The meeting was called at
2 o'clock on Monday, in the town hall,
Qoderich. W. 0, Bean of Stratford,
organizing secretary of the Patriotic
Fund, addressed the council on behalf
of the fund.
Mayor Irwin, D. Holmes, Dr, Red-
mond, Abner Cosens and others ad-
dressed the meeting, strongly Wore-
ing both the increased grant and the
bringing to this county of the 33 d.
Battalion, making as earnest plea to
have them come to Wingham. It is
very likely that Wingham will be one
of the towns in Huron county that
will be favored with a visit from the
33rd, and if so it will be a red letter
day for the town. The eoldiers will
have a full equipment with them and
a real military tournament will take
place,
.
Moved by Reeve Taylor of Exeter,
and seconded by Reeve Ford of Clin-
ton, that $5000 be Huron's monthly
donation to the Patriotic Fund but the
executive committee changed this
amount to $6000 monthly from Qct. to
April and afterwards $5000 per month
as long as war lasts. The council
adopted this unanimously and author-
ized the sale of debentures to defray
the coat, The Council ales decided to
guarantee the expenses of bringing the
03 d. to the County and the matter
was left in the hands of a committee
composed of the Warden ant Reeves
Taylor, Mitchell, Stewart and Lewt,h-
waite, with power to arrange with ra'l-
ways and militia authorities. Any
surplus funds from any of these tnurn-
aments is to be handed over to the
County, A visit from the men in
khaki will greatly stimulate recruiting,

ADDRESS AND PRESENTATION
The etuelents and staff of the Wing -
ham High School met in the Assembly
Hall of the school on Thursday after
noon . and presented their retiring
principal, Mr, H. E. Ricker with a
beautiful watch fob and the following
address, to which Mr. Ricker replied
very fittingly:
Wingham, Sept, 19, 1915.
Dear Mr, Ricker:—
We, the students of the Wingham
High School have learned with regret
that you have severed your connec-
tion with our school. During the past
two years we have always found you
to be a zealous teacher, and a true
friend. During that time, also, under
your guidance, we have learned that
confidence in a teacher is one of the
essentials of true education. We have
had that essential. One and all we
have learned to esteem you very
highly for your own and for your
work's sake.
In your new sphere, and aneld new
surroundings we trust your memories
of W. 13, S. will be pleasant, as ind, e3
ours will be. Therefore, we ask you
to accept from us this slight token of
our esteem and regard, not on account
of its material' altle, bot that where
ever Tort may be it may call to your
mind memories of the students of
Wingham High School,
Signed on behalf of students:
John 0. Hutton (Pres. of Lit, Soc,)
l:lleda bl, blathere,
John J. Campbell.
The Young Ladies Bible class of the
Methodist Church presented Mr.
Ricker, who has been their beloved
teacher for some time, with a gold
knobbed umbrella.
Me,. and Mrs. Ricker and family left
