Dr. gnd Mrs, Sloan were married by Rev, William Graham in Huron• coun- ty sixty years ago' today at three o'clock in the afternoon. .Mr. Sloan is eighty-six years of age and Mrs. Sloan is seventy-eight years of age, and -both are in. good health. Two persons- remaining of the thirty-sev- en- who attended • the wedding were present, Mrs. 1VIcLeay, widow of the late Dr. MoLeay of London, who was bridesmaid at the bedding, and Mr. George Duncan. Three children out of eight are still living, William of Mackenzie and 'Mann, and Henry of the Toronto Post Office, and Mrs, E. Hess of Toronto..- Dr.. Sloan came to Toronto in 1892, and has been prac- tisrlig in this city for twenty-seven years. He -had previously practised in Fiuron county for thirty years. 'Dr. Sloan took lus degree at old Victoria College in 1885. Dr. John Roles was then in charge of the col- lege. Dr. and Mrs. Sloan have three grandchildren and five 'great-grand- children," Municipalities `can Mater- ially Assist The following letter is being sent to all municipalities In Canada from the Repatriation and Employment Committee at Ottawa : Your Worship,—The urgent .prob- lems in connection with the demobiI- ization of our army and the re-estab- lishment of industry on a peace basis have led to the formation of the Re- patriation Committee, in connection with which I am now acting as the representative of the Municipal or- ganizations of Canada. The urban and rural municipalities can play a great and important part in the problems of the d'emobili'sation period, in giving a "Welcome+ Fioine" to the returning soldier and his fam- ily, in helping the 'soldier to secure employment, mill generally in assist- ing,him to re-establish himself in civil life. In every Municipality that has sent soldiers overseas there should be an Honorary Committee of citizens, composed of both men • and women who will assume a measure of re- sponsibility in this important work. There may possibly be such a Com- mittee already in existence in your Municipality, if so we would like to know ; if not, I would respectfully urge, on behalf of"this ' Committee, that ,one should i1)e,formed at once. The functions of a "Welcome Home" Committee should be as follows : - (1). To welcome all returned sol- diers and their dependents on their arrival in your locality. (2) To receive any complaints from returned soldiers and to; forward thein Ito the Department of. Soldiers' Civil Re-establislument, Ottawa, for investigation., • (3) To help the returned soldiers to find employment, "- (4) If at any time employ ment earnest be found rn your (locality for a returned soldler, toreri0 rt P artice- tars to the Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-establishment, 45) , If positions exist in. your lo- cality for which returned soldiers ate not available, to notify, the Depart -- Merit of Soldiers' Civil Re-establish- tnent, so that men .eau bo sent from the nearest demobilization centre to occupy them, (6) To eo-operate with voluntary Organizations, (7) To keep a general oversight over, the interests of returned sol- diers and their families.

It bore its part in the:defence of Canada in 1812 and 1865 ; in quelling rebellion, in 1865 and in,the South African War, 18t?4? 1902. Its members of all ranks who were physioally fit went forward in the present war almost to a Man. Many fighting battalions are closely atiiliated with old Regiments of the Militia and every•, battalion contains officers, mon-commissioned• officers and men Who .in "days past gave of their time and effort without stint to pre flare for :the country's,'defence It it hoped that the returning sol- diers, whese record overseas will be a glorious heritage forever, will re- gard the Militia Regime* from which so many:of them proceeded as in a real sense their military hones,.

A committee,. of which- Major Gen- eral Sir W, D. Otter, IC.C.B., C.V.

In a recent let - let Lieut. -General Currie, K.C.B., G.C'.M.G., Commander of the Can- adian Army Corps, says in part as follows : "I am all with you in your desire to link up the units con- stituting the overseas force with the old units in Canada. We must work together to, see that this is done, for it would be to out lasting disgrace if we were to allow a. system which. would not perpetuate the traditions so hardly won in the field." Pend- ing a settlement of this intricate question it is hoped that all returned soldiers, even though they do not wish at present to enroll in Militia Regiments, will associate themselves with them and give them the advan- tage of their active interest and pres- tige r: Meanwhile it is hoped that all ranks of ,the Militia will devote them selves in putting their regiments in order, increasing their strength, per- fecting their organization an$ gener- ally making ready for the important task which lies before them, This should be a labour of love and I have no doubt every officer,, N.C.O. and man of all regiments will so re- gard it, (Sgd),S, C.

Maple Sugar.. and More Maple Sugar Chairman Thomson of the Canada Food Board is calling for the great- est possible production of maple sug- ar and maple "syrup this corning spring. Farmers with maple groves might well 'prepare to tap an unusual number of trees. In the opinion of those in the export business - there, will be profitable. market fortnaple syrup and maple sugar, Indication also points to a favorable season as the winter has been mild and there is plenty of moisture in the ground to insure a good run of sap. Last year, altlhough weather oon- ditibns were hot favorable owing to the. prolonged and steady, cold and the lack of bright. warm days until comparatively late in the season to start the sap, running, the production of maple sugar' add maple syrup showed a considerable increase over 1917, Customs Department figures show that: the export of maple sugar was augmented by 26 percent., while the Value of this export business showed an increase of 78 percent, ow- ing to higher prices received for the product. ct The United States is a good oustomer for our maple pro- ducts, while England and France, when trade conditiahts are adjusted, will also .proud good customers, as Canadian soldiershave introduced, maple sugar into those -countries and a taste for it has been inaugurated., 'hen it is considered that out; net debt flag increased U' over a billion dollars sine the war, or 800 -percent. every dollar of export trade Canada can develop is needed.

Standard Loaf After Sat - day, Mar. 8th Ontario bakers must at ' once get back to the standard loaf of twenty- four ounces or 48 ounces, 'which ruled before the war, 6n intimation to this effect is being given to bakers. throughout the province by, Hon. 1- B. Lucas. Up to the 10th of February, under an order of the Canada Food Board, bakers were permitted to make and sell both 12 and 24 -ounce loaves, the step being taken as a means of con- serving wheat. That order has been rescinded, however, and a loaf of loss than 14 or 48 ounces is now made and sold in contravention of the law. In order to give bakers every op- portunity to comply with the law by, making, such changes in equipment as may be necessary, the attorney - general bas decided to allow them until March 8th. After that date of- ficers of the crown will be under in- structions to prosecute every case where under -weight bread is sold. Collingwood Has Woman Notary public.. Collingwood it is believed has the first lady Notary Public in Ontario, if not in the Dominion of Canada. She is Nliss Lois 1. ICnox, daughter of Mr. and ,Errs., Frank ICnox and stenographer in the law office of Mr. W. T. Allan. Since entering the of- fice of Mr. Allan, Miss Knox has made a special study of the work which devolved upon a public notary and last week ,appeared before His Honor Judge Vance to write on the examination which it is necessary to pass for the privilege of Practising in such a position. She was successful is every particular, so much so that upon announcing the result His Hon- or took occasion to warmly compli- ment the young lady upon the inti- mate acquaintance with details with which ono with her 1 .qualifications would be called upon to deal.—Col- iingwood Bulletin, Teaching of Household Science Spreading Under 'lh h provisions of The Ag- ricultural e plo en - g ricultural Instruction Act the teach- ing of 'household science in the rural schools is rapidly extending. Through. these funds directors of the work are engaged and equipment for use in the schools is purchased. Through this provision, pupils in the rural schools more especially are enabled to par- take of a warm lunch at the noon hour, under, the direction of the teacher. This is but one of many activities fostered through The Ag- ricultural Instruction Act and dealt with in the report of the work done for the year ending March Slat, 1918, Which is available at the Publications! Branch of the Department of Agricul- ture at Ottawa. Another activity is the assistance given to co-operation and marketing. In the provinces of Ontario and Sas- katchewan }pore especially, a direc- tor instructs the farming community: as to the advantages of co-operation in disposing of their farm products. Assistance is given to inexperienced linen to enable them to organize in a way to t -avoid mistakes and to assist them to systematize and simplify their business transactions. The Canada Food Board is Galling for greater production of maple sug- ar., Well, it will pay. The maple sugar season began ear- ly tin's year, January 21st the boys on Charles McCallum's farm at Nairn, Ont., had a Fioiting. One elan can take care of boiling the sap from 5,000 trees as easily as 500 ,says an officer of the Pure Maple so Syrup Co-operative; Association. Only about 55,000 farmers of East- ern Canada tap their msP le "trees. Those that don't lose the chance of making a nice little revenue out of them; A' matured maple tree releases about twelve gallons of sap,, three percent, of which is sugar. The average tree will yield over 60 cents in sugar or syrup, and will continue to do so for 125 years, Maple trees 'sin untitled land in Canada could be made to produce all the sugar Canada consumes.
