Huron old Boys'
Annual Al Home.
Illuminated Address Presnted To
Their First, President, Sir
John Willison.
The thirteenth annual at-home
and re -union of the Huron Old
Boys' 'Association of Toronto last
Friday night in the Temple Build-
ing, was one -of the best attended
and most successful in the history
of the association. Following a
concert programme, contributed by
Miss Ettie Pugsley and Messrs,
Ruthven McDonald and Harry
Bennett,' an address was p>Sfesented
to Sir John. Willison, first ji esident
of the (association, and now one of
the honorary presidents, on the
occasion of the honor of knight-
hood recently conferred on him by
the King.
The presentation of the address
was preceded by addresses by
congratulated
who con
Mayor Hocken, h g
the old , boys of Huron .County on
the fact that between them they
had managed to secure and hold
down most of the best jobs in the
city, and Mr. Fred Johnson, of the
Bruee Old • Boys; who conveyed
fraternal greetings.
The event of the evening, (aside
from the dancing) was the present-
ation of a beautiful illuminated ad-
dress to Mr. "J. S. Willison read by
Mr, Floody on the occasion of his
being' Knighted by the King, a
copy of which is as follows ;-
Sir John Stephen Willison, Kt., L.L.
D., F,R,C.S.,
The Huron Old Boys" Association
of Toronto greets you, and extends
to you its hearty' congratulations
on the significant distinction of
Knighthood which. it has pleased
His Majesty King George V. to con
fer upon you. When we consider
your distinguished public services,
extending over many years, and
your pre-eminence in the realm of
literature, we feel that His Majesty
has bestowed a well -merited title
on one who will worthily maintain
the best traditions of•the Order. It
is a matter cif .great gratification ko
the members or our Association to
recall that from the inception of
the organization you took a keen
interest in its progress, and we
were honored by having you as
our first President. You have iden
tified yourself continuously with
the activities of the Association,
and we feel areflected glory has
been cast upon ourselves and the
good old county of Huron, through
the distinction that has come to
you -the first of the native born to
-be so honored by our King. May•
you and Lady Willison long be
spared to enjoy the signal honor
you have received from 'Hit Majesty
Sir John, who was visibly affect-
ed, made a suitable, yet humorous
reply. He said that many people,
while congratulating him on the
honor, had doubted whether there
was such a place as IHills Green
(the place of his birth) and he was
surprised at the ignorance of a lot
' of people who know nothing a-
bout the Parr Line, the Bronson or
the Sauble, to say nothing of the
famed St. Joseph. Frequently
while living in Stanley he had gone
to church onSunday morning, and
gone swimming on the way home,

and as cleanliness was next to
-Godliness, this was a logical sequen
ce. He appreciated more than he
could tell them the gift of the ad-
dress, and would ever remember
his pleasant associations with the
people of Huron.
Letters- ,of regret were received

liance adopted the following reso-
lution : (1) That 'the Alliance pol-
