Send on the names and don't forget to put on my phone number,' I want to hear their voices and make arrangements for meetings, etc. I have already one on my list who is coming, Mrs. Best, (Alfie Tyreman), and there will be more." Arthur Mason, Saskatoon, writes: "Send on the lists and all informa- tion and' we will do the rest. • You can count on a good bunch from .this district, including Mrs. Mason and myself. Best regards to the boys." From Jack Forbes, Special Auditor, Southern Pacific Railway, Houston, Texas, comes the good word: "Se- cure a room for me at once; am tak- ing no chances. Send me the names and I will endeavor to see them per- sonally, as my duties take me over' a large area. I am only too glad to help celebrate the Golden Annivers- ary of the beat town in Ontario." COLLEGIATE NOTES The second meeting of the Liter- ary Society, which was held on Fri- day afternoon last was a decided suc- cess." One of the outstanding .fea- tures of the meeting was the excel- lent school spirit displayed. Under conditions that were not conducive to good order and discipline, every per- former was given a kind and sympa- thetic reception. The following took part in the programme: Evelyn Cud - more, Lillian Wankel, and M. Finlay- son sang solos; Annie Cameron, Mae Webster and Daisy Hamilton gave piano selections; Monica Reynolds and Margaret Case played a piano duet; Frank Cook, K. Ament, Helen Dinsdale, Madeline Meidinger and Robert Willis gave speeches and read- ings. The school paper, edited by George Hutchison, was exceptionally good, being extremely up-to-date in `many of the items. Mr. Bissonnette acted as critic and in a most helpful way reviewed the programme, point- ing out the places where slight im- provement might be made and giving praise where praise was due. The meeting closed with the National Anthem. HURON NOTES -On Thursday last hydro was turned on the farm of Mr. J. Decker, Jr., who lives about a mile and a quarter south of Zurich.

Wright, ovsd wife of the late Peter Fisher, ostmaster in Wingham for many yens. Born in Guelph, in the days When corduroy roads and oxen were plerjtiful, Mrs. Fisher came in early womanhood to take up residence with her enter prising partner in Wingham. This was in the early 'sixties while the Civil War was raging In the United States. There they stayed and pros- pered. Ways of prosperity or of mai terial success, however, never found Mrs. Fisher inflated with pride, nor yet did days of adversity which come to all, find her lacking in cheerful- ness and fortitude. Four children survive to honor her memory: John, Margaret, and Mrs. G. C. Hanna, of Wingham, and Peter Fisher, of To- ronto. The funeral service was con- ducted' by the Rev. Glen Wardell, pastor of Wingham Baptist church. Interment took place :in Wingham cemetery.
