DU2qDA8.-The news of the death of William Albert Dundee, which occurred at the Mem- oriel Binspital, in Seaforth, eaely Sat. urday morning of lest week, seemed almost impossible of belief. A man of' ste ong physique, few knew of his illness, and none, not even his im- mediate family, had arty cenception that the end was so near. Illness to hitn was practically unknown until a severe attack of quinsy developed three days before his death. So seri- ,ale Wee his eendition that an °per- . tion was deemed neeeeeaty 0 lave his ife, and he was taken to the hospital ea-- on Friday evening, but paned away before the operation could be per- formed.

At-Iloom Program Broadcast by C. F. C. A. Arouses Widespread Interest - $200.00 Realized for County HOG. pital$ Former residents of Huron County who are identified with the Huron Old Boys' A.s.sociation of Toronto have just reason to be proud of their mese recent effort to add to the fueel created a year ago for the benefit of the hospitals of this county, The annual at-home Oddfellows' Tem- ple, 229 College Street, Toronto. on Thursday evening. of last week was voted -by the five hundred in attend- ance as "the best yet." For its suet cess due credit must go to the ener- getic president, B. 11. McCreath, who was ably supported by an enthusias- tic executive, representatives of all parts of the county. As a fittieg re- ward for weeks of planning they have the satisfaction of knowing that the Huron county hospital fund will be increased by about 3200.00 which sum will represent the balance On hand after the expenses of the even- ing's entertainment are rnet. Chief interest of course centered on the broadcasting of the dance music tuid the program of CFCA, the Toronto Star Station. The program opened with a speech by the Presi- dent, B. H. McCreath, setting forth the aims of the Association, and tiend- ing greetings to Huronites every- where. He then. introduced to the Radio audience prominent members of the Association who sent messages to their Old Home Towns. J. A. Mc- Laren spoke to Goderich, his old home town; 3.

Art Forbes of Seaforth accepted the chal- lenge, and the contest was declared it tie and both ehaeged $15.00. The Purity Flour Quartette under A. C. Chapman, formerly of Wing- haui, was a fine feature, and reports from distant points saying that it was greatly appreciated have been receiv- ed. Burton Till's Orchestra supplied the music and there was plenty of pep and energy in their different numbers. The old time songs were particularly well rendered, and a long distance telephone request from 10 radio request for the "The Prisoner's Song," was exceptionally fine, Cam- eron Geddes, bass soloist, formerly of Lucknow, sang the solo parts for Ye Old Tyme waltzes which weri thrown on the screen and broadcast, and the choruses sung by the dancers. At the conclusion, the audience sang Old Lang Syne, and There Is No Place Like Home, and a letter 221001 London states that the reception of this was remarkably clear. During the evening a number of epecial features were run of. One of these was an Auto Ride covevini the different towns in the County, and the destination proved to be Pipee's Dam, Miss E. Morrish was the lucky holder of this ticket. The balloon dance was rdso a spec- ial feature, • there being six tickets ,for the prizes among the balloons. The free fight that ensued to try and gather in one of the prizes brought bataekerecollections of an old time Wlt e ba Another attraction was a series of cartoons thrown on the screen, of some of the members. N. B. Cobble - dick was shown as an 'Undertaker soliciting business. Bd. 'Moody was seen enjoying himself in the cellar hm witsoe stills and a "Maeh Kettle," 3. A.
