OLD BOYS' IMUNION NOTES
The following replies received by
Secretary Bbtheriend wring the past
week 'indicate the enthusiast° that
prevails amongthe Old Boys add
Girls of Seaforth need vicinity where -
ever situated: •
Harry Beattie, , at Vancouver,
`writes: • "Have much pleasure in ac-
cepting the oMee of agent for Van-
couver and district. 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

turned on the farm of Mr. J. Decker,
Jr., who lives about a mile and a

stalled in the yard an electric light

ings are being held in Senior's Hall

It is expected that more young peo-
ple will join the courses after the fall
work is completed on the farms.
-A meeting of the Exeter hockey
enthusiasts was held in Boyle's bar-
ber shop on Thursday evening last,

Kiteley. Mr. and Mrs. Hooper have
taken up their residence in Exeter.
-Mr. and Mrs. Henry Allen, of
Wingham, announce the engagement

R. DuVal, D.C., Sp.C., of Ashtabula,

Geneva, Ohio, the marriage to take
place in December.
-A quiet but pretty wedding was
solemnized at the Parsonage, Blue -
vale, on Wednesday, November 21st,
by Rev, Mr. Wilkinson, when Freda,
only daughter of William and Mrs.
Turvey, 2nd Concession, Morris, be,
came the bride of Wallace Agar, son
of the late David and Mrs. Agar,
Morris. The bride was becomingly
gowned in white silk crepe de chine
and wore black picture hat. After
the ceremony the young couple re-
turned to the bride's home, where e
dainty lunch was served. They will
reside on the groom's farm, 2nd Con-
cession, Morris. We wish them many
happy and prosperous years.
-Sometime during Thursday night
of last week, Horne Bros.' place near
Zion, in Usborne Township, was vis-
ited and a set of harness was re-
moved and a gravel box was taken
off a wagon. They w•bre taken back
the lane near the bush where the
harness and collar were cut in pieces
about a foot long and the gravel box
was cut in two in the middle. The
neck yoke was also taken. A num-
ber of dastardly act§ have been com-
mitted in that community and the
municipal council is 'being urged to
offer a reward for the captive of the
miscreants.

-On Thursday evening last there
passed away in her eighty-fifth year
one of the last of the ,early pioneer
settlers of Wingham, -the person
of Louise E. 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.

' FACTS ABOUT CANADA
Ottawa, Ont. -It is estimated that
the total expenditure during the last
year on provincial highways, to which
the federal government of Canada
contributes, has aggregated nearly
$15,000,000. With favayable weather
conditions and lower prices for labor,
there has been considerable activity
in roadmaking in the different prov-
inces.
Calgary, Alta. -Among the big Al-
berta wheat yields is that of J. J.
Wannop, of Parkland, who threshed
an average of 57 bushels from a field
of 110 acres.
New Westminster, 13."C. -The first
consignment of 1,000 pounds of Brit-
ish Columbia fir seeds has been ship-
ped to the Britjsh forestry commis-
sion, London, by the Dominion For-
estry Branch from its plant here. The
seeds were extracted from the cones
recently gathered in the Fraser val-
ley districts,
Vancouver, B. C. -Buildings val-
ued at $5,268,000 have been construct-
ed or commenced in Vancouver dur-
ing the first ten months of 1923, the
figures at the civic building office
show. This is more than $3,000,000
in excess of the value of buildings
for which permits were taken out in
1922. The increase has been most
noticeable in the erection of business
blocks, large apartment houses and
warehouses.
Vancouver, B. C. -It is estimated
by the grain men that December will
see one boat a day taking grain from
the port and that loading and clear-
ing will be at capacity in the port.
There are heavy bookings on the
board to the Orient for December,
which is unusual, and the elevator
management is making preparations
for this strain by sacking wheat well
ahead, thus obviating a tie-up when
