THE MONUMENT SITE The VanStone Corner I-1as Been .Secured for $9oo *The Windham Council has purchas- ed the W. F. VanStone property on -which the Cosens & 'I3ooth Insurance 'office is located arid will erect the Wan' Menmorial ort that corner, The price price paid for tile ground. is $goo. The building will be moved as soon as possible and the base of the monu- ment will be put down arid the ground terraced appropriately. Our only re- gret is that this step was not taken a couple of months ago so that the mon- unaent might have been unveiled on , Thanksgiving Day. At first glance some may think that the council paid too, much for this ground, but the council and several of the business man have gone into the matter thoroughly and found they conic], do no better. The situation is 'the best possible, it can be seen from ' five leading roads and when complet- ed as the council wished, it will be a _ beauty spot in the heart of the town.

Arthur With View to Inaugurating One Messrs. J. Hirst, R, H. King, W. R. Hamilton, f. W. Hanna and A. G. Smith motored to Arthur, on Monday afternoon. Their mission was to look into the workings of the Christmas Street Poultry Fair, which is an an- nual event in that town, and it has grown to be the biggest eyent of ifs kind in Western Ontario, if not in Canada. We found the business men of Arthur most courteous and there are only two knockers among the en- tire lot of business men, all the others were loud in their praise of the bene- fits of the Poultry Sale. A few said it didn't make any great difference to their business, but it was a mighty good thing for the town and for the farmers and therefore they boosted. Arthur Poultry Sale will be held this year on Dec. nth, 12th and 13th and they are out to make the sale go over icio,000 pounds. At the last poultry fair over $5o,000 was paid to the far- mers for dressed birds. Each merch- ant gets a buyer to come up from some of the wholesale houses andthey go up and down the street buying the birds competitively as the farmer dri- ves in. Our belief is that a Street Sale of Poultry would be a good thing for Windham and. vicinity. Mr. Rafter, a man -who has been to- tally blind from his youth. is the edi- tor of the Arthur Enterprise -News, and to say the least, he is a marvel. He is one of the most public spirited. boosters in Arthur, and walks about the town as though he had no afflic- tion. His neat little printing office would put some of the weekly news- paper offices to shame. It is probalble that a Poultry Fair, will be inaugurated in Windham.

As in several other towns the nominations will be held on IVIonday evening, Nov, 2.6th, and the elections on Monday, December 3rd. The rea- son fox- the change,is to get nomina- tion and election away from the holi- day season. For the past couple of years the nomination has been held at noon one day and the nomination speeches and public meeting a couple of evenings later, when all the interest has been lost. • This year the last Monday in De- cember falls on New Year's Eve and many could not attend the nomination meeting that night. The political pot is already beginn- ing to boil, but the whisperings thus far 're so faint that we will not re- peat them at present. Beautifying the Cemetery ' Several ornamental trees and about fifty shrubs were planted at the cem- etery last week by the cemetery com- mittee, ably assisted by Mr. W. A. Galbraith, town clerk and the services of Mr. Levi Harding. A further ship- ment will be planted in the spring. Choir Make Presentation On Thursday evening last, Knox. Presbyterian Choir, Bluevale, held a social evening, the occassion being that of presenting Miss Carrie Di- ment, -Oho is shortly to move to Windham, with a beautiful Rose Bowl accompanied . by a suitable address, expressing the choir's regret at the lose of one ,o1 its valued. members and extending well wishes for the future. . Died in London . A former resident of Wingham pas- sed away at London,' on Sept. 23rd, in the person. of John Risfh. Deceas- ed gentleman was a member of Wind- ham Lodge A. I-1'• & A. M. and re- sided here several years while he was conductor on the London, Huron. and Bruce. He is survived by his widow, four sons and three daughters, who have the sympathy of many of the old friends here. Do You Remember.

Dazzling Auto Headlights Driving into the dazzling lights of an oncoming car is dangerous busi- ness—dangerous alike -to the dazzler and the dazzled, And it is so unnec- essary. To dim the lights of a car is so simple, and easy a task, that it seems that the danger involved by not doing so would' compel the mo- torist approaching another car • at night to take this simple precaution against the possibility of accident to his own 'car as well as the cars of' oth- ers. It should not take a law to bring about the dimming of head- lights. Conn/ion deceucys,,demands that a motorist practice this simple yule of night driving etiquette, for it is etiquette, and good manners are just as essential on the road as in the ballroom.
