mittee" would not arrange, any wel-
come but the Girls' Auxiliary took
the matter into their own hands and
finding out the train on which Miss
Gunn and her parents, who hail gone
to Toronto Id meet her, would ar-
rive, notified the band, which -only
waited that word,' and a merry wel-
come was awaiting them when they

Wingham, Hensall, Toronto,• Sea -
forth and Blyth.

dition, the music was fine and alto-
gether the evening was much enjoy-
ed,
A few soldiers in uniform were
present and, of courso,inany not in

At a banquet tendered the 8th
Field Ambulance at Calgary a dimple
of weeks' ago Lieut, -Col, J. N. Gunn,
at one time commander of the unit,
was invested -with the D.5.0., Lieut.
Governor Brett Miming on the decor-
ation.
In making the presentation Gover-
nor Brett spoke eloquently of the
bravery of the Canadian soldiers and
he asked Brig.' Gen, McDonald to
read the following official account
from the dakette'ili corinection with"
the presentation to Lieut, -Col. Gunn:
"At the capture of the Bellevue
Spar on October 26-111, 1017, . during
the Passchendaele lighting, this of-
ficer was in charge of the dressing
station through which all stretcher
eases for the Canadian passed.
it thoroughe methods
It was clue- to his
and exceptional organization and abil-
ity that so many seriously Wounded'
were all so well eared for. The D.
>4T. S. of the Second army in address-
ing the medical units of this division
after the battle said that he had
never seen wounded arriving at the
casualty clearing station in better
condition and so well cared for.
"In the later stages of the Pass-
chendaele battle, Limit -Col. Gunn
was in charge of the; clearing of the
front, At this bine the displayed his
usual courage and disregard for,.per-
sonal safety and spent all his time
in the advanced dressing station sup-
ervising the evaoua'tibn of the wetted -
ad and directing the bearer parties.
"During the last year this officer,
in addition to his other duties, had
full charge of the eye,' ear, nose and
throat clinic of the division. In this
way he has saved hundreds of train-
ed men for the front who would oth-
erwise, have been sent out of --;tube
area for examination or treatment,
"This officer's whole service,
whether in or out ot the trenches has
been oiiaracterized by uniting effort
and devotion to ditty. He has at -
ways set the very best oxample to
his men' -and is considered well wet -
thy of recogditon,"
Col, Gann is very well known in
Milne ad vla

ed with his Uncle, Dr, Wm,. Gene,
for over a year before going west,
and be utas a Yost of fridrtds here

cess.
MUTUAL APPRECIATION.
Ex -Chief Wheatley wishes to thus
publicly express his appreciation of
the Easter gift presented to him by
the members of the Women's Society
and the Girls' Auxiliary.

by a desire to express in a small
way their acknowledgement of Chief
Wheatley's long and faithfulservice

ated both the spirit and the letter
of the act. IIe regretted very much
not being hone when the deputation

A CLOSE CALL.
Mrs. H. M. Swaveley of Philadel-
phia had a narrow escape from death
a few days ago, according to werd
received from her by friends in town
this creek. While preparing bleak -
fast one morning she had mixed and
taken a -dose of what she had bought
for magnesia and was thrown into
a violent convulsion from which a
doctor, hurriedly summoned, found
some difficulty in restoring her. The
doctor said the druggist had made a
mistake and had mixed a powerful
Poison . with the simple medicine
which she had purchased. It was a
very close call.

Her Early Demise Much
Regretted
The following from the Lethbridge
Daily herald has reference to the
Oath of the daughter of Mr, and
Mrs. W. H. ,Ball, which tools place at
Taber, Alta,, a fortnight ago :
"On Sunday, April 0th, the whole
community was shocked to learn that
Mrs. Annie Hill, beloved wife of M.
Iloward Hill, one of Tabor's leading
merchants, had passed away after a
brief Meese from pneumonia follow-
ing the 'fits, Though a resident of
Taber for less than two years, Mrs.
IIi11 had formed a large 'circle of
friends to whom she had endeared
herself by the charm of her personal-
ity and her bright, wholesome wom-
anly qualities. Iter supreme' sphere
and joy, however, was in her own
home where site revealed herself not
only as a gracious queen but also as
an ideal housekeeper. Sbe was an
earnest Christian woman, a member
of the Presbyterian Church and in-
terested in every good worts. Much
sympathy is felt for the stricken hut -
band and relatives, The deceased,
nee Miss Annie 13a11, was born and
brought up in Clinton, Ont., where
she was married on Juno 271h, 1817.
She was twenty-six years and 9 mon-
the hat•her death, and is survived by
her husband and a baby boy, two

and Mrs. W. I4, Ball, and one sister

St, Paul's New Rector
Rev. (Capt.) S. E. McKegney, M,
C., lately returned from overseas,
will he inducted into the charge of
St, Paul's parish this evening at sev-
en o'clock. Archdeacon Richardson
and Rev. Canon . Guano - will have
charge of the induction services,
Capt. McICegney was born in St:
Paul, Minn., of Irish parentage and
returned to the North of Ireland
with his parents when still a child
and received his education there.
Iie was trained as a teacher in the
Malborough street Training College,
Dublin, and afterwards taught for
some years. Before coming to Can-
ada he was for three years assistant
secretary of the Church of Ireland
Young Men's Society.
Capt. 1VIcKegney's theological train-
ing was received in Huron College,
London, and his first charge was
that of incumbent of St. David's
church, London. Later he was ap-
pointed curate of St. Mark's church,
Parkhale, and still later rector of
Trinity church, Brantford.
It was while in Brantford, In Mar,.
1916, that Capt. McKegney was ap-
pointed chaplain of the 215tH batta-
lion and he went overseas with that
unit. His work in France, however,
was with the 58tH battalion, which
was so enthusiastically welcomed in
Toronto only a few weeks ago.
Capt. McKegney was twice recom,
mended for the Military Cross and
was several times mentioned in. des-
patches and It was after the battle
around Arras that the purple and
white ribbon was sent down the lire.
to hint. According to a fellow -of -
Beer of the 58tH Capt. McKegney,
won his decoration a dozen times ov-
er.
All Capt. McKegney's brothers
donned the khaki. Ono was a lieu-
tenant iu the Inniskillen Fusiliers
and was wounded and taken prisoner
itiarcln 2lst of last year and owing
to bacl medical treatment in German
hospitals is still receiving treatment
in a hospital in Ireland. Another, a
private in the 20111 battalion, was
killed Aug, 28t11 lash, and still an-
other is a private in the Innlskillen
Fusiliers.
Capt, McKegney thinks he is going
to like Clinton, 1 -Io is afraid it will
be hard for him to stay in one place
and get doom to routine work again
after the free, irresponsible life of the
army, but he also thinks there will
he a good many compensations.
"The sight of a desk at which I'
can work and where I can lay a
letter down with the expectation of
being able to find it again in twenty-.
four hours appeals to me," he re-
marked, bis mind• evidently going
back to the discomforts more than.
the real dangers of the battle front.
Capt. McKegney looks' like the por-
trait we reproduce of hint, though he
is still wearing his uniform, IIe is
young and enthusiastic ; -• he has
enough of an i.rislh accent to please
the ear of anyone who loves the
sound of it but not enough to offend
who1
those do not and Ile has
the
sim Ple
straightforward, direct man-
ner of a soldier., The News -Record,
on behalf of the eitlrens irrespective
of their church affiliations, bids Capt,
McKegney and his wife and babe wel-
come ' to Clinton. We predict for
hiin success in his work and a pleas, -
ant sojourn am ti st the good people
of this town and vicinity.
