tirondson Wins
Military Cross•
Lieut. Lionel Dunsmore, of $t. Thomas
and Grandson of Councillor W.
Paisley, Wins the Military
Cross.
The St. Thomas Daily Times of Jan.'
2nd snakes the following reference to,
Limit. Lionel Dunsmore, son of Post-
master and Mrs, R. J. Dunsmore, and
a grandson of Councillor W. J. Paisley,
of town:—
The names of two St. Thomas of-;
ficers appear in the list of men dec-
orated with the military cross for
bravery on the battlefields of
France or Flanders.
These' two men are Lieut. Robert
Lionel Dunsmore,son of Postmaster
and Mrs. R. J. Dunsmore, and,Capt.
Robert Marsden Luton, son of W. F.
Luton, Governor of the Elgin County
jail.
The news was contained in an As-
sociated Press cable from London,
England, and was the first intimation
that Mr. and Mrs. Dunsmore had that
their son had been honored. A letter
was received on Monday last, but it
did not contain even a hitt that he was
decorated or likely to be.
Lieut. Dunsmore enlisted with the
Royal Canadian Engineers while a
resident at Queen's University. He
won his commission after enlisting, and
he has been at the front for a consider-
able time. His name has appeared on
the casuality list—once as having been
wounded, and as suffering from typhoid
fever. Ile is a former captain of the
St. Thomas Collegiate Cadets.
Lieut. Dunsmore's wife is a daughter
of P. J. Voaden, of Peterboro, former-
ly of St. Thomas, their marriage taking
place in England since the war broke
nut.
The old friends of the family here
are glad to see the work of the young
Lieutenant is recognized.

The Statutory meeting of the Coun-
cil of 1917 was held on Monday morn-
ing at 11 o'clock.
Mayor Thompson was in the chair,
Reeve Ford; Councillors Wiltse, Miller,
McEwan, Paisley, Sheppard and Nediger
present.
Minutes of .last meeting was read
and confirmed,
The election of Striking Committee
took place and on the first ballot Reeve
Ford and Councillors Wiltse and Shep-
pard wePe appointed the Striking
Committee to report at the evening
meeting.
Councillor Wiltse spoke on behalf of
the Committee, that it was not always
pleasant, but hoped that in their re-
port to be presented at the evening
meeting, anyone who was not satisfied
should state his position and they
would try and fix the matter for the
best.
'On notion of Reeve Ford and
Sheppard the Council adjourned until
8 o'clock to await the report of the
Striking Committee and other busi-
ness,

The Guelph Mercury laments that at
the municipal nomination meeting in
that city there were but 40 people pre-
sent, and at the public meeting held in
the evening to hear the .addresses from
the candidates only 38 people were in
the hall. The explanation is that at
this time of the year the average citizen
is 'to busy about his own t affairs
and
the remedy is to change the date for
the municipal elections to a more con-
venient period.
