Ge -union at Ethel Was an A 1 Time Full Program and Tidy Surplus The Old Boys' Re-urliou and Sol- diers' Welcome, 11010 at 111101 Tuesday August 19th, was a decided success and opened the way for a repetition, if not an annual event, of a somewhat similar character. Initial proceedings were taken by the Wolnen s Institute, with Miss Gerrie Purvis, President, and 1SIrs, Geo. Kreuter, Secretery. A. public meeting was called in the Hall when Rev, 101r. O'Kell was voted to the chair and after discussion Com. mittees were chosen and an outline program mapped out and thanks to the energy. unanimity and industry of those interested success was written on tete Re union from every stand- point.

Bell, Molesworth, from the text "The Lord haul done great things for us whereof we are glad." In ad- ditionon tog d mucic by a union choir two most acceptable solos were rend- ered by Miss Verne Walker, Brussels. Great preparations were made for Tuesday and by voluntary work Ethel presented a holiday appearance in 111e way of decoiation In which many look part, the business places being gayly dressed with bunting, flags, tissue pnpet, evergreens, &,c. There were 4 evergreen arches and banners with God save the Ring and Welcome, across the street, the village looked very pretty and the Brodhagau Brass Band, Lucknow Pipe Band and with a jolly good natured erotvd 11 was not a difficult matter to have a good time, Rain tht'eatened in the forenoon but Old Probs, smiled generously in the eftet'noon and put the Committee o1( Etter street. In the forenoon Tennis games were played by racquet wielders of Ethel led by the Methodist panel). A Base Tull match between Oranbrook and Ethel was warmly contested resulting 111 a score of 2 to 5 in favor of the home team. Afternoon opened with a grand pare ade in which the bands, decorated autos, buggies and bicycles and a merry crowd of Calithnmpiane and specialists took part, the marshal be, Ing .Ernest Wheeler, llruseels, who eves mounted oil a charger and played his role in good style, 'Tore was many a Word of praise spoken and mum + hVo t1 hieglt tri the prmc80. ,i 11rl108 P P were awarded as Yellows Beet decor atetlear, Mrs A.

Athletic sports followed in loot races, jumping, &e., but au 00 written record was kept the %dirndl. cannot be given. The potato race 1(11 horseback was a good evens, Quest Dobson being the speediest gatherer of the Irish Dille, with An- drew Bremner a good second, The greasy pig fell to the uwnerehip of Quest Dobson also and in the slippery exhibition of climbing the greasy pole Clifford Ferguson attained the great eat height and Q. Dobson took second money. There was Highland piping and dauoing and in the lively Tug of War between Farmers Clubs of Oran - brook and Ethel, the prowess rested with the IT, F. 0., of the "Plat." Good program was rendered by the Bands and the afternoon was thoroughly enjoyed. Dinner and supper was served in the Lecture room of the Methodist chureh by Ethel Women's Institute to the re- turned soldiers and lady friends who attended the Re -union, The hospitali- ty was much appreciated. In the evening the Onncert was the magnet for a great audience in the en- closed shed of Presbyterian church. Chair was taken by Rev, Mr. Bell. Program was a flue one and was sup- plied by St, Paul's Male Quartette, Stratford ; solos by Mrs, Joynt, Luck - now, (formerly Miss Edith Freeman, Ethel ;) readings by Rev, Mr. O'Kell; Highland Piping and dancing and Br'odhagan Band. Everybody did well and crowd got good value. Re- ceipts were $800 or about the same as gate admissions in afternoon, which after meeting all liabilities will leave from $200 to $225 of a surplus to be disposed of. Money is now in the hands of the Treasurer of the Wo- men's Institute but probably a com- munity gathering will discuss the ap- propriation of it along lines of general benefit to the locality. The street catnival was called off owning to late hour and insufficient light, Promoters of the Re -union are to be congratulated on the success of the day and the excellency of the manner in which the arrangements were car- ried out. The day was exempt from accident or anything to mar the pleasure of it. .All points of the oom- pass were well represented and not a few of the former residents spent the day in Ethel and unwound numerous stories of the bygone days.

Mitchell were caterers for the day and with mine Host Gill, and the Women's 'institute, plus hospitality from residents, supplied the necessaries in the way of refreshment and meals. The Bands were not pernrious with mPusicthe andday,dial much to add to pleasure o Among the splendid workers of the day were Rev, Mr, ()Keil, A. H, Mc- Donald, M. 3, Slemmon. D. J. Falcon- er, 3, K.
