Sir, In a late issue of your: paper we noticed an obituary sketch of the late Id° . E. W. Tamlyn.: I was well ac- quainted with both he and his father the late J. E Tamlyn. Among my early recollections the old doc, as he was called On to sew up a cut on a boy friend of mine, who had the mis- fortune to hack himself with:an axe. He gave quite a jerk when the needle was :going through; the Dr, said if I was taking your leg off you might squirm a little. Reference was made in the sketch about the. Dr. being the first one to replant a tree in the town of Wing - ham, ' Its possible I know something of the history of said: tree. Many years 'ago, I noticed a horse and rig and two men opposite lot 39, con. 13 East Wawanosh. The men, seemed to, be digging away at something, be- ing of an inquisitive turn of mind I went near enough to see that it was Dr. Tanilyn and another was the late Win, Moore. My first thought was they must be after some hidden treasure but 1 found they were digg- ing up a beautiful evergreen tree; thae. grew by the roadside, they load- ed it on, the rig and took it away. I expect this is the same tree mention- ed in the sketch if it is still standing it will be as famous as seine of the trees mentioned in history from the one George Washington hacked with his axle down to the one planted last summer by the Prince of Wales .n Uncle Sam's.. Domain. Old,Tiiner Married in 'Toronto A pleasant wedding was solemniz- ed in Toronto on: February 6th,' by. Rev. R. L.

Radio vs Violet Rays y The use of violet ray and, other electrical devices are very annoying to radio fans in town and we suppose the ]same thing, is occuring every- where, At present we see nothing for the radio operators to do • lint to "grin and bear it" until such tiine as. thegovernment decide''' to. give re - i7 government stricted hours for the use of either or any of these machines. As it.. is a violet ray has as much right to oper- ate as a radio, although the latter is licensed by the government. W. C. T. U. Notes Ori February r2th., the members of the W. C. T. U. held..avery success- ful parlor social, at the home of. Mrs. R. MacQuire. Maple St The programme consisted, of sing- ing and ing-ing:and instrumental duets. In addi- tion to this the Rev. Mr. Cragg, gave a very interesting and instructive talk on the life and workof the late Fran- ces E. Willard. It was;'. decided to' send a delegate to. the Temperance Convention to be held. at. Toronto on the r7th and r8th of February and al- so, a resolution be sent to the Prem- ier of Ontario, strongly protesting against the proposedamendment to the O. T. A. At the conclusion of the programme lunch was served. The Toronto Star of Friday last had the following . editorial, "Those adventists of Patchogue, N. Y., wlio expect the world to end and.inanki to be destroyed tonight, while their own little group will bewafed to safety on a cloud, are not modest in estimating their own,' merits: They. are not the first who. expected. tobe' carried aloft while the rest of tha people perished. An old.. inhabitant tells us that long' ago in Listowel a' group of people garbed. in white robes gathered on the roof of a. store in Lis- towel on a given date expecting to`he transported to heaven while every- body else perished. But nothing at alt happened." A Wonderful Skater Marvellous,. is the word. used. by. most people, in referrfng to the one legged skater, Norman Faulkner, who put on: an exhibition in Witigham's New Arena on Friday night', The crowd was not as large as it. should. Have been, probably be'eause of too many contra attractions. 'Mr. Faulk- ner is a step -brother of Mr. Kenneth Weaver, Whitechurch road', and spent a pleasant time at his home. After his exhibitions of ` skill with one leg, he attached hisartificial limb. and' went for a pleasure skate;' The war was the cause of Mr, ,Fatilkner's being crippled and before the war he won several championships for speed on the ice.
