TEESWATER MEMORIAL Impressive Ceremony on Sunday. Afternoon While practically the whole world lva's celebrating the signing of the armistice five years ago on Sunday, which brought 'to an end—the worst struggle between nations in the his- tory of the ; world, the citizens of Teeswater and the Township of Cul rose unveiled a memorial to the sons and daughters of these municipalities who, gave their lives inthat great struggle for right' arid • freedom,. Blessed with ideal weather there gath- ered in the front of the Teeswater town hall one: of the largest crowds that has been seen in this village for some time. The Memorial, which has been placed irr the front of the hall,. was covered with a flag donated by the mothers of Knox Presbyterian Church whose .sons took part in the world w.ar, The impressive service was opened with the singing of that well-known. hymn, "Lead Kindly Light," the sing- ing led by the combined choirs of the local 'Methodist and Presbyterian churches, under the direction of Mr. Richardson. A prayer by Rev. Mr. McKelvey followed. Speakers of the day who dealt witlz the lives of the dead heroes of this rnunicipality while here -were: Rev; Mr. Snell, of Wing- ham and Tees—water—Anglicann Church- es; Rev. W. A. Bradley, of Knox Church, and Rev. Father Flahaven', of the Roman Catholic church, S, R. Brill, occupied the chair. The memorial was erected following a vote taken in both Township of Cul- ross and the village. One was- in fa- vor of a rnemorial clock, •while` the other. favored a tablet to be erected on the main street of Teeswater.A committee was ' appointed and decid- ed on the memorial tablet, on which has been -engraved the names ,of the 14 from this community who paid the su- preme sacrifice, . Seven of these are from Knox Church, of this village.' The transfer of the memorial was made by David McDonald, reeve of. Culross; and was accepted by A. L. Strome, reeve of the village, who in a few words told of his personal ac- quaintance with the boys who went from this place, and who were now ly- ing somewhere in Flanders' fields. He stated that he was glad that Teeswat er and the surrounding district had de cided,to erect a fitting memorial to. these heroes, which, although it was delayed, showed that the people of the community had not forgotten the price 'that they had paid. More than 5o soldiersfromthe sur- rounding district, and in full service uniform, formed up in front of the memorial. The "Last Post" was soun- ded by Ken Carter when the memor- ial tablet, which will for many years. to come; serve as a remembrance to. those who laid down their "lives for the cause of freedom, was unveiled by Pte. William Keith, who during the war served in the tdoth Battalion ov- erseas, . Covering the •tablet on the platform in the front of the memorial was the arge' flag donated to Knox Church by the late Mrs, R. Trench; on the occas- ion of the -church's diamond jubilee four years ago, The naives on the tablet are: Alex'. ander Bannerman,: Alexander Alphon- se Brick, George David Colvin, Walt- er Clithroe, Clarence Donald, 'Norm- an W. Farquharson, Harold Fraser, Tliornton Fear, William J. Higgins, MI Elwood 'Hewitt; 'Simon P. Keiffer; Thomas Richard King, John Benja- min Lawrence,' William Simpson Lin-: TburstJay, November °xstli., Clifford , Burglars Arrested Five arrests have been made in co ah- nection with the burglary which tools, place at Clifford a couple of weeks ago. The arrests were made at Tor- onto, incl a large juantity of the stol- en goods has also been recovered. Mrs.' Wendt has been asked to go to Toronto this week to .identify her pro- perty. We learn that one of the ar- rested suspects is a lad named Mur- ray, who formerly lived near Lakelet, and was therefore quite familiar with Clifford and its stores, Foresters Raise Rates The Canadian Order of Foresters have issued a btilletin giving notice of a sharp increase in insurance rates ' 'to talcs`. effect on January est, It has long been known that an in- crease was ' coming,in fact,was in- evitable—. -but the big'boost has near- ly taken the wind out of some of the members. Those who joined since August, 1918, will not be galled upon to pay an increase, but those who became 'members before that time will have their rates increased very materially, according to their age and years of membership. For in- stance, a man who joined in 1893 at the age, of 21 years at 4o cents pe'r month, will now be called upon to. pay $2.19 per 'month and court dries besides. The unfortunate feature of the increase is that those who- have paid in for the largest period are raised to a rate that is almost .pro- hibitabie, and are now unable to se- cure insurance protection in any other company. Dance Disturber Fined ' A couple -of young' chaps who •;had' eimbibed freely started a row outside of the dance hall at Mildmay in 'the small hours of Wednesday morning. The village cop with the assistance of some villagers started - in to ar- rest thein but one of the fighters, a young .man . from Wingham, ,got a- way. The other chap also put up a rough skirmish and even after he had been securely hancicttffed, the Mildniayites seemed to think it re- quired sthe combined efforts , of six men to handle him. As there is no lock-up in. our neighboring burg, the Constable; still assisted by five stal- warts, one of them, the village black- smith having him by, the hair, drove over - with the manacled " culprit to Walkerton and aroused -Chief Fergu- son from his slumbers at 4 a,m,,,The. young man whose name was. Meehan,. hailed from Gorrie. He was charged with being ''intoxicated in a public place, and Magistrate McNab fined hirn $3o and costs for that -offence. They Magistrate declined to allow the Mildrnayites any costs' for the trouble of bringing Meehan over here, taking the view that, a place of the size and importance of.Milcimay' should have an honest-toe=goodness lock-up of its own. The other partner in the dis turbance is known and will shortly be brought tb justice. —Walkert o Telescop ( $CHO03L REPORTS Following ollowing, is the report of S.S, No. 58, Howlett, Pupils Maines are in order cif merit.
