For sev- eral months he had been in impaired health through heart trouble, .yet his rugged constitution prolonged his life and there was some hope of ul- timate recovery, but high blood pres- sure over a prolonged period exert- ed undue strain on his heart and he passed away very suddenly, although without pain or distress, at his resi- dence on Pendozi Street, on Monday night. Mr. Elliott was in his sixty-seventh year having been born in 1864 at Bluevale, Ontario, second son of Jas. Elliott, who lived to a great age, dy- ing a year of two ago. He carne of United Empire Loyalist descent, be- ing of the fourth generation in Can- ada. Learning the blacksmith trade in his youth, hemigrated to British Columbia forty-four years ago, locat- ing -first at Ladner. Following his marriage in 1892 to Miss Elizabeth M. Kinscella, of Ottawa, he moved to Vernon, where he carried on his trade and later took up land in White Valley. The lure of the gold rush of 1898 took him to the Yukon for three years, his family residing for part of that time at Telegraph Creek. Returning to the Okanagan in 1901, he located at Kelowna, operating a shop on Bernard Avenue. He added agricultural implements and later was the first dealer to import motor cars for sale in the district, an early type of McLaughlin. For a time he was in partnership with the late Mr. R. Morrison, first City Clerk of Kelow- na. '; Selling out to Coates, Edwards & Gowen, he carried ,on- real estate and insurance for several years until 1916, when he `moved tofarm prop- erty which he had acquired in the Rutland district and spent four years there. Returning to, town in 1919, he again entered the implement and au- tomobile business, handling Nash and Maxwell cars. In 1022 Mr, Elliott was appointed General Road Foreman for the South Okanagan Electoral District, and he carried out his duties with admitted efficiency. until 1929, when he suffer- ed the fate that befell many other Liberal appointees, upon a change of governnent. He took a,keen .inter est in his work and threw into it the' restless energy that characterized him throughout life. His enforced resignation ' carne as 'a severe blow, which he tool. much to. heart, and from which it may be said that he never recovered. His health began to fail, and, although he entered into the implement business once more, he.rvas unable to resume his former, activity. Besides his wife, Mr. Elliott is sur- vived by five daughters; Pearl` Glass - ford (Mrs; C. F, Mitchell), San Fran- cisco; Ruby Margaret (Mrs. Ben Hoy), Marjorie' Evelyn (Mrs. H. 'N: Arnnstrong), Ray Winitifred (Mrs, J, C. Martin), all of K.elowna,. and Lil- lian Margaret (Mrs. L 5. Oultoon), of Vancouver, also by six grandchild- ren. He had eight brothers and four sisters, all of whurn survive him ex- cept one brother, who predeceased him. They includes I)r, W, J. El- lidtt, Brandon, Man.; Archibald, Wai- mahaka, New Zealand; George, Tur- ner Valley, Alberta; James, Bluevale, Ont; Robert J., Nelson, B.C.; Albert, Lumsden, Sask.; Gordon, White- church, Ont.; Mrs, A. Carrie, Nelson, B.C.; Mrs. McVetti.e, Windsor, Ont,; Mrs. Walters, Whitechurch, Ont: and Mrs. McTavish, Lucknow, Ont. The funeral service was held at first United Church an Wednesday afternoon, Rev.

HE FOLDED HIS COAT Four small boys were coining from school the other evening, full of ear- nest conversation and taking up most of the sidewalk as boys will do when they have something of importance to. settle. Arriving near the corner of Edward and John Street they cross- ed over to the shade of the old Ford garage and after a few words, the eldes-t boy took off his coat, carefully folded it and laid it carefully on the grass . This was not exactly as some boys would do but was an evidence of the character of this chap. He and a smaller chap exchanged a few words and pushed up the shirt sleeves and took a few deliberate steps to- ward each other and clinched. The force of the small boy .almost upset the other' on the initial charge but very soon he went down 'under the greater weight. Getting up the lit- tle fellow shedding a few tears, let drive with all his weighta right hand swing which caught the other boy between the shoulders which is j.ust what some boys would do. The big- ger boy only took time to carefully shake the dust and grass from, his coat when looking across the street he saw his father waiting in a car. What the father's ,thoughts were is hard to say but there was something attractive in the way the bigger boy viewed the encounter. There was no vnndictiveness in his attitude, a school boy dispute had to be settled accord- ing to the acient established rule of the school yard. Now just what pass- ed between...the father and the boy when they reached home is not known. Perhaps there was a confer- ence or a general council in the gar- age -for there is no woodshed at that house.

Elsewhere on this page you will read an article which tells of an im- proniptu meeting of the Chamber of Commerce on Monday morning of this week which resulted in their un- animous endorsation of a plan for a Great Home Corning Week in Hur- on Comity; commencing July lst. It is expected that the campaign,. which is. Provincial wide in its ram- ifications and which is being heartily endorsed and supported by leading individuals and organizations throu- ghout the Province, will bring thous- ands of Canadians home to every County. A natural result of this Home Coming will be a keen rivalry among, the towns of our County in putting their best foot forward for this great event. Wingham has always consid- ered that leadership in Commerce in Huron County has been conceded to her and her citizens have been ever. loyal in giving the local industries ev- ery opportunity possible. Can we claim similar leaders -hip in the ap- pearance of our homes, our gardens, andthe general appearance of our town? Let our "City Fathers" com- tuence at once an inspection week when every entrance to :the town will be viewed by their critical eye and owners of unsightly properties be asked to do all possible .within reason to'improve the appearance of the same. Let every individual pro- perty owner ask himself "What can I do to make shy property look bete et?" Let ns get out the paint, brash and freshen up the appearance of home and store. Let us call in - the paper -hanger and the varnisher: and renew o0r interiors,' Let us look ov- er the furnishings of our home and consider the odd new piece here or there to snake the place more cheery, W gl ati Lot W in h n Let lead in putting her best foot forward and create ;such an atmosphere in our town and Gong munity that those who come to visit us will want to oome back to the old County to ;o in business, to farm, or to retire, Will our merchants assist in this enterprise? Will the stores selling paint, varnish, wallpaper. and home furnishingsfeature special savings for those whose patriotism for their community will lead them to contri- bute to the success of this great oc- casion by improving the appearance of their homes outside and in. Let the merchants speak! Let the peo- ple act 11 Wingham must lead!!! Ross Gallaway Canadian Flyweight Champion, who is boxing at Arena Monday Night. MASONS FETE GRAND MASTEER Northern Light Lodge, A. F. & A. M., were hosts 'to the North Huron District and Bro. R. B. Dargavel, of Belleville, grand master of the Mas- onic Lodge in Ontario, at a compli- mentary banquet in the Beach pavil- ion last Thursday evening. Accom- panying Mr. Dargavel was William M. Logan, Hamilton, grand secre- tary of the lodge. Over 400 members of the order heard the grand master's able address on the duties of the order, when he replied to Rt. Wor, Bro. George E. Fowler's toast to the grand master. Rt. Wor. Bro. Dr. E, E. Bruce, of Kincardine, district deputy grand master of North Huron, acted as the toastmaster, proposing the toast to the King. In welcoming the distin- guished guests, Bro. J. H. Chapman, mayor of Kincardine, spoke of 'the honor of having grand lodge officials present. "Each and every association joins in the welcome which I tender you. No welcome could be more sin- cere than that of the town of Kin- cardine," he concluded. Bro. B. Bamford, of Listowel, pro- posing the toast to the Grand Lodge of Canada described it as "that tow- er of strength which stood four- square to all the winds that blow." The reply was given by the grand secretary. In respect to the late Jno. S. Martin, past grand master of the lodge, a toast was drunk in silence. Prior to the grand master's ad- dress, Dr. Fowler, of Teeswater, pre- sented Mr. Dargavel with a library table, a product of the Coombe Fur- niture company, of Kincardine, as a token of the esteem in which North Huron holds its grand master. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Dargavel thanks the lodges for ,this tangible mark of their loyalty. The toast to "Our Country" was given by Bro. Rev. T. D. McCullough of Kincardine, and fittingly replied to by the district chaplain, Bro.. Rev. E. W. Jewett, also of Kincardine. The words of Claredon were used by Wor. I3ro. Dr, R. Redmond, of Wingham, in proposing a toast to the visiting brethren. "It is not the quantity of the neat but the cheerfulness of the guests which makes the feast." Wnn. Collins, of Tara, and T. C. Boss, of Walkerton, replied. The junior war- den's toast was proposed 'by Fred J. Vandrick of Listowel. During the banquet music was pro- vided by the Blyth Concert Orches- tra. The toast list was interspersed with musical and vocal numbcril, in- cluding solos by Orah Crawford, of Ripley; Mrs, Stewart, Blyth; B. His - cox, Teeswater. The Kincardine Quartette, comprising Bros, Craw- ford, Leonard, Linklater and Chap- man, also sang a number. Guests were present from Blyth, Listowel, Teeswater, Wingham, Rip- ley, Tara, Walkerton, Lucknow, Tiv- erton and London. HOME COMING WEEK FOR HURON COUNTY Mr. A. H.

GREER "The Good Shoe Store99 Wingham months in furthering home -coming weeks for counties throughout On- tario.: He has met with very consid- erable. success in every district visit- ed and every indication points to many happy reunions of former cit- izens of these places. •At present he is engaged in working up sufficient enthusiasm in his home county to make such a gathering an unqualif- ied success. In different parts visit- ed he has been accorded cordial re- ception and the scheme heartily en- dorsed. On Monday morning, Mr. Wilford met several of the business men in Fry & Blackball's offices, where he elaborated on the project. to some considerable extent. Mr. G. Spotton, M.P., gave it his fatherly en- dorsation as did several of the other gentlemen present. The first week in July seemed to meet the, general approval of those present as a most appropriate time for the homecoming and this time has been endorsed by other portions of the county. Mr. Wilford says: "Why not have home -coming weeks throughout Ontario this summer? The thing is simplicity itself -a good home -conning week where old , friend- ships are renewed and old times talk- ed over, is one of the most enjoyable experiences in the world to every real human being -ane of the worthwhile events in life -we are living at a ter- rific pace -it's good to step bac.k to the old hone and to look into the familiar' faces of clays gone by, talk over old times. No other movement offers so many popular features, The main objective is to get every- body to be a part of it -to get every- body talking-to get everybody writ- ing letters to the old-timers urging them to come home that week. Of course, when we invite people to come and visit with us we are bound to feel like putting things in: good shape to make the very best impression possible -that's only hu- man nature, we all like to do that Naturally the town and village and city and county authorities will lead the way -trim up the streets and the parks and public places. Household- ers will naturally want to make their homes more attractive for these vis- itors, a little paint and varnish here. and there, some new wall paper,,. some carpenter work and plumbing- Any lumbing .Any number of possibilities will come.: to mind along this line.
