WINGHAM HONORS'
TRAGEDY VICTIM
Impressive Z~uneral Service for
Jaclr, Burgmaa
The last sad rites over the remains
of Jack Burgmdn, victim of the tragic
downing accident in the Maitland on
April 6th, took place on Thursday
last, with a private service at the
house and a public service in the Un-
ited church. This place was crowded
with sympathetic friends of the fam-
ily, the school chums who marched
in procession from the home,'and the
honorary pallbearers bearing :the nu-
merous floral tributes, who accoinp
shied the remains to: the cemetery.
Gowned • in white robes: the Junior
Choir led in singing the favorite
hymns of "Burg" as Jack was famil-
iarly called; while Rev. Sidney Devi-
se n
avi-sen gave a comforting and reassuring
address, and was assisted by Rev. F.
W. Schaffter of St. Pauls, and Rev..
W. E. Smith of the Baptist church,
Ivir. Davison prefaced his address on
the harrowed: feelings of Jacob, Chen
he lost his son, Joseph, not, knowing
where hp was, and how his sustaining
faith had its reward. God moves in
a mysterious,,,way His wonder to per-
forin. He has a purpose for every ac-
tion, and to His faithful an ultimate
blessing. Heaven is not so far away
when one beckons its there, nor will
death have any terrors to those whose
belief is well founded. Jack was a
member of 'the church, a regular at-
tendant at the Sunday school, a Mem-
ber of the Trail Rangers and the Jun-
ior Choir, a life member of the Mis-
sion Band, and a bright student at the
f{igh School.
jack was the elder of two sons of
Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Burgman, within
a weak 'of las 13th year, and had
many personal •qualities that endear-
ed hila to all acquaintances.
At the conclusion of the service, the
forty honorary pall bearers carried
the floral tributes to waiting motors,
and with a large number of friends
accompanied tl}e remains to the cem-
etery, where they were reverently laid
away.
The floral ;tbutes were a heaven
of beauty, and came from personal
friends, business concerns, fraternal
organizations, church socities, the Sal-
vation Arniy, and two from the C. N.
R., some of the officials of which at-
tended the funeral.

FISHERS, AT CANADIAN CLUB BANQUET
The second annual banquet of the
Winghatn Men's and Women's Can-
adian Cub proved a very successful
affair on Thursday evening, and
to a close a• most enjoyable and pro-
fitable season. Women's Institute
provided a splendid luncheon, nicely
served, which all enjoyed, after which
Dr. Redmond' offered a short con-
gratulatory address, in introducing a
brief toast list. "The King" was hon-
ored in the usual way, when Mr. A. L.
Posliff proposed "Our Country" to
which Abner CQsens made a charac-
teristic reply. In a humorous and
partly critical way he referred to the
changes seen all over the land, in
abandoned farms, and wondered if the
young ` manlfood of to=day was less
courageous than our forefathers. Then
he delved into Caned's' position in
the world, and thought that like Aus-
tralia and other portions of the Em-
pire Canada should have a distinctive
flag -not to sacrifice the Union Jack,
the, emblem of freedom, but to place
a Maple Leaf on it to mark its, Can-
adian significance, Mr. E. Barr pro-
posed "Our Canadian Club," to which
W. L. Craig replied briefly' in a
during of the activities durtg the
past season.

A PEEP INTO THE PAST
Cuine;rou young people of to -day,
with abbreviated skirts and Oxford
bags to the days of 50 years ago,
when the ladies skirts billowed with
six or eight yards of: shining silk, con-
trasted by tight bodices and heads
decked with wonderfully constructed
hats of flower garden dimensions.
And mere man set out iri silk topper,
v
dress or frock coat with vest and
and
pants of real street wear.. Yes, it evi-
denc.edad change chan e to present
day conventions, and yet there was
something genteel • genteel and refined about
it, At least "Aunt Mary's Family;
Album" staged in the town hall on
Friday night by the Philaletha Bible
Class lent this impression. Aunt
Mary, noted for her culinary and'do-:
mestie arts, invited four neighbours
for an afternoon, and entertained
them to her new photograph alubum,
bought at 50 cents down and balance
in monthly payments for two years.
Then from a large cabinet she exhib-
ited .the family and noted citizens of
the town, dressed in the fashion of
50 years ago, while Miss Skinning
made caustic and humorous criticism
ofeach and every oue, local hits and,
sallies rocking the audience with lau-
ghter. Following g thi s o ` in neigh-
