The annual event was held at Londesboro. >>r,� E'� L�iS tie iC� i. � 006 JULY 30th to ALRGUST 3rti .:<7.7717:77 An invitation was issued by the Old Boys' Reunion Association to members of the Second Battalion Royal Canadian Engineers to hold their reunion in the Seaforth area at tate time of the Old Boys' Re- union here. The proposal was raised by Col. S. W. Archibald, who commanded the Second Bat- talion. RCE, overseas during the past war, and who indicated that preliminary arrangements to held the reunion in September at his farm in Tuekersmith have gone forward. It was at his suggestion that the invitation was issued to the battalion association. because it was thought that agreement Wright be forthcoming to advance the date of the battalion reunion to Civic Holiday weekend. Mrs. Wm. Smithers, writing to Miss Hazel Reid, chairman of the invitation eomtitittee, said that: "I am looking forward to seeing many old friends. 1 am one of those 'Old Girls' and I do wish the reunion every success, so I am trying to do my part t0 help a little. There is no place like honkie and I love it." Another Seaforth 01(1 Boy who has found the names of former residents in Michigan is Thomp- son Scott. and he indicates in Itis letter that "Mrs. Scott and my- self are looking forward to being there. Wishing you every suc- cess." Mr. Scott advances a sug- gestion that a reunion of the 161st Battalion boys be organized. He says "that we could get to- gether and flatfoot along in the parade," There is no doubt that there would be a large interest in the reunion of the 161st Battalion which included several well known names in the Seaforth dis- trict. Certainly the committee There would be happy to arrange such an event and hope that soxm-thing will be heard from many more former members of the battalion. There is equal enthusiasm for the 01d Boys' and Girls' Reunion among those who are ;near and those who are far away. As an -.example of this, Grace and Wat- son atson Sholdice. of Brussels. say: "Thanks to the committee for the invitation to the reunion. We aren't so far away and will be there as often as possible. It will he a pleasure to meet old friends again." Arrangements were completed this week for the opening of re- union committee rooms in a por- tion of the Clarke Garage on Main St., Seaforth. The rooms are be- ing equipped and as a result Of co-operation extended by Miss Margaret Hudson. manager of the local Bell Telephone office, Miss Evelyn Cardno and Bill Haysom, thr district manager. a telephone was installed within a matter of a few hours after it had been re- quested the early part of this week. That is an example of the type of co-operation which the association is receiving from all in the district who, from time to time, are approached to help out with a particular feature of the work involved in the old boys' arrangements. For the convent ence of those who may .wish to call the rooms, which will be open on au irregular schedule for the time being, the number of the telephone is 535. While all details have not been worked out, the program for the five-day event is rapidly taking shape, according to Frank Kling, chairman of the program com- mittee. In the report which was presented to the executive on Monday night, a tentative pro- gram was proposed as follows: Saturday, July 30 — Afternoon: Civic welcome and registration; night: CKNX Barn dance.

You may de- pend that we shall be looking for- ward to the 'big doings'—July 30 to August 3;' 1411'.
