London, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Hopson of Goderich township. A vet'+* jolly evening was spent in dancing. After refreshments had. been served Mrs. R. H. Gairdner, president of the Red Cross read the following address: "We are gathered here tonight in this informal impromptu way, to welcome a soldier, who has come to us from his disciplined life in the army, for a few hours of fun and fellowship with us. Because of the added blew that has been struck in Norway this week, we realize more than ever the ser- iousness of all that this, war means. We are living in an age when the emphasis of lite is being put, not so much on what we believe, for our very foundations are being shaken daily but on what we can do. What each one of us individuals are doing, will decide what aur future is' to be. Down through the ages, -no higher honour can be bestowed on any man, than to be a true soldier, to voluntar- ly answer the call of his King and Empire. Of course we cannot all - be soldiers, but we can take our part, and every soldier we meet has a claim upon us. You, as our first soldier from Bayfield, will always hold a special place in our hearts, we shall follow your career and all you do with the greatest of interest and sympathy. I really am proud of the way our organization rallied together, and in a few hort hours. notice, were able to bring you here tonight. They say people never agree on anything but I am sure that is wrong, for all were so heartily in favour of honour- ing you tonight, to wish you all good - luck and God sped. I remember so well hearing a story of a tourist travelling in Switzerland, who want- ed to ascend one of the mountains. An omnibus was going up and when he saw that there were three ldnds of tickets, 1st, 2nd and 3rd, he bought the 1st class, however lie noticed that the people with the 2nd and aril class tickets got into the same compart- ment with him He didn't like the idea and said, "why is it that a per- son who gets a 3rd class ticket, rides along side of a let class ticket. The driver told him to wait and when they gat to the foot of the hill, the driver said, 1st class passengers may keep their seats, 2nd class passengers get cut and walk, and 3rd class passeng- ers get out and shove. Now we in the Red Gross, do not pretend to be first class passengers, we represent= the great Democracy upon which the hope of the world depends, and in the name of God, we will have to get out and shove, and keep on shoving to keep our soldiers, who are fighting for us. So now in the name of Bay- field Red Gross Society, and those; friends who so kindly contributed, may we present this gift tonight. Then Mr. W. Westlake presented Pte. Hopson with a fountain pen, sweater and socks. He graciously acknowledg- ed the gifts and read a poem entitled "Friends" which he had composed himself. Accompanying Pte. Hopson were Pte. Fred Har'vus of Kener'a, Sask., who was born in Ukraine and did not speak English until eleven years of age and Pte. Jack Edwards whose home is in New Mexico. The .Red Cross presented each of thein with socks. The Ladies entertainment commit- tee of the Red Cross Society intend holding a dance in the Town Hall on Wednesday, April 24th. Everybody welcome.

We've taken you by storm In landing in like this, But such a golden chance as now We could not bear to miss. But there will be odd moments When you'll recall each farmer friend, And with your new surroundings, The old ranch days you'll blend. You never can forget us, We link you with the past, Hudies, McGees, Alexandra and Emeesons, Their names will always last The years have made their changes, Old names give rise to new, And after all, it's only fair The Cantelons should move too. Elliotts, Curries, Croynns, They all have moved away, Gilberts, Sterlings, Pearson and Grigg, We all are here to stay.' And should we meet upon the street But then you're not far off, Of course your faces will be missed, All hats we'll have to "doff". This is no formal parting, Just a friendly jamboree To show you just the kind of sports Your neighbours all .can be. We know you soon are moving So here's one thing more to' load, It carries our best wishes Right to your new abode. With it ocmee our friendliest greet- ings, We place all in your possession, The very best friends you will ever find, Are the folks on the Seventh Con- cession, —Signed on behalf cif all, your Goderieh twp. and Clinton friends.
