Sinee 'the signing of the ATP3iWee on November llth, 1918, Which brought to a close the terrible woe of 1914-18, the anniversary of that day has been known as Armistice Day. Now that anniversary is to be .Observed as a public holiday through- out the Dominion, and is to be call- ed by a new name---Beraerabrance Day. Another change also, is to be noted. 'For some years Thanksgiving Day has been fixed as the Mondays of the week in which November llth ap- peared, the intention being to corabine a day of national thanksgiving with Armistice Day. Hereafter Thanksgiving Day is to be 'fixed by Order -in -Council, and it is quite possible that the day chosen will revert back to the month of Oc- tober in which it was celebrated for many years. Both changes are to be commended. The original intention of Thanksgiv- ing Day was to set aside one day in the year in which the people would give thanks to the Almighty for His care and the harvest which He had provided. The time to do this, one would think, would bejustafter the harvest was gathered, when the boun- ty of Providence was before one's eyes, and not on a drab and cold No- vember day, when all nature was at its worst. • And Armistice Day while it, too, was a day in which to give thanks as deep and as real as could be thought or expressed, was a day of different thankfulness and different memories. The very month of the year in which it came should be, to all Canadians, a reminder of the hor- rors of war and all the suffering it cost. In the blending of the two anni- versaries, Armistice Day and its meaning was losing its identity. It is true that in the cities and some other centres, a two -minute silence was observed on November llth, in- dustry ceased and the citizens paid a silent tribute to the bravery of their soldiers and to the memory of those who gave their lives in the defence of their country. But in the towns and the country the day passed without notice, with- out comment. It scarcely had a mean- ing, and it is not wise nor right that it should be that way. One day in the year is not too much for Canad- ians to set aside for: a day of re- membrance. )fe a. • ••50, MP?, fil•tAtl ,.•A '744 ,•;•,944' TEE ID*011i ExposrroR 4,.7e e Of• man has discovered and become mas- ter of more wonderful things in the. past fifty years than have been re- vealed in a similar space of time in the world's history, that we have ceas- ed to wonder at marvels, have come to take them as a matter of course.

It is just fifty-one years ago, Wed- nesday, since the Bell Telephone Com- pany of Canada was incorporated. At that date, April 29th, 1880, there were just forty telephones in Toron- to, the largest city in Ontario. To- day Toronto has 208,000 telephones in daily use, necessitating over 846,000 miles of telephone wire. The number ,.of daily exchange calls in the city total 1.883,004 and the long distance calls average 11,200 per day. The first service telephone contract with the Bell Company in Toronto was signed by Messrs. McGaw and Win - nett, proprietors of the Queen's Ho- tel. The great Royal York Hotel now stands on the site •of that first tele- phone installation, and in that hotel, alone, there are over 1,600 telephones. So much for the city of Toronto. Just .4ifty-one years ago there was not a commercial telephone in use in the County of Huron. To -day if there is a farm house in any town- ship without a telephone, it is be - use its owner wishes it to be that -way, and not because a telephone ser- vice is beyond either his reach or his means. In fact, so common has the use of a telephone become that we no longer look upon it or think about it as a marvelous invention, but as an a,bso- lute hof necessity. There are, of course, a great many people in town and country, and they are not so very old either, who can remember the telephoneless age. The days when news travelled slowly. When if a man wanted information or assistance from a neighbor, mar- ket prices or supplies from the village or town and the nights he needed a doctor, he had to walk or hitch lie and go after them. But to the present generation, per- haps to the greater number of peo- ple, the telephone has always been. We doft pause to remember what a labor saver it is; how it brings our world to the door without effort on our part. No, indeed! When we want any of the hundred and one things which the telephone can supply, we jest grab the receiver and bark a number, and if there is any delay in the connection we fill the pause with abase of the Operator, whatever the tithe of day or night it may be. • Pitety $rears is not a long time to Zaa *hp has [lid' them, but Wender - 101 *WV Mar eome to pass in that Alan: 6 YearS, Perhaps it is because School Report.—The following is the report of the standing of S.

Pr-- WALTON The funeral of John A. Watt on Monday was largely attend cl by sor- rowing relatives and friends from far and near, testifying the esteem in which the deceased was held.

Following their marriage they took up farming for a few years, then some 24 or 25 years ago John Watt built a fine home in Walton on the West Main Street, and moved here. He took up the business of buying and selling cattle and hogs, and was most suc- cessful. He was a man of honest and sound business principleand will be greatly missed by the surrounding community.

He was a member of the St. John's Lodge, No. 284, A. F. and A. M., Brussels. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Weir of St. Andrew's Church, Blyth, and Rev.

At right angles to The long head table were four tables, parallel to each other. The centre te: le arrangement consisted of red tulips in the glass bowl artistically arranged on a large glass mirror. Tall red tapers in silver candlesticks and silver bud vases holding single red tulips were further compliments in a ery pretty decorative plan. Each place' was marked with a red bon -bon dish. At the conclusion of the ban- tsset an interesting toast list was car- ried out, Miss Ferguson proposing the toast to the King as the opening num- ber. The toast to the graduating class was proposed by Miss Pearce and responded to by Miss McNabb; to the training school, by Miss 1VIcNiven, Miss Bliss responding; and to the ab- sent members by Miss Grieve.

S. of Huron County of the Presbyterial, and the number may be judged as very large when there were over 400 delegates as well as many attending from the village and district, who were not delegates. But for all that the local organization of the W.M.S. here rase to the occasion and made very fine provision for all and served most tasty meals at a small cost. The meeting was so largely taken part in and comprised so many special fea- tures that your correspondent could not begin to give anything like an extended report and in fact it is really unnecessary at this time, as the Pres- byterial has a special correspondent who will be able in a short time to give all the details and features and in the meantime we only remark on the very large attendance and the fact also that the ladies raised at such a email fee for meals over $150 to assist in the good work of the so- ciety. A large number from our village and district on Wednesday last at- tended the funeral of Mr. D. Brintnell of the Township of Hibbert, a few miles east of our ;village, and who was so well and favorably known. The funeral was conducted by Rev. k.

The deceased was in his 86th year and for some years past had been attend- ed to by Mr. and Mrs. James W. Johnston, at their home on the Town Line, near Kippen. He was born at Galt and in his earlier life followed framing in this district, afterwards going out to the West, where he spent twenty odd years with relatives and friends, but returning to this district he made, for some years, his home with his late brother, Walter, and un- married sister. Following their death he made his home, up to the time of his death with Mr. James W. John- ston and family of the Town Line, near Kippen. He was a shrewd, in- dustrious man of a quiet retiring dis- position, and as did also his late bro- ther and sister, amassed considerable wealth, and will be missed by the neighbors and friends who knew him for so many years. The pallbearers were all neighbors. His relatives, we believe, are all living in the States so that he had no immediate relatives in this section. Death of Donald Brintnell. — Mr. Donald Brintnell, familiarly called Dan, passed away Monday morning at his home in the Township of Hib- bert, a few miles east -of our village. Mr. Brintnell, until about a year or so ago, was a strong active man for his years, being in his 62nd year, but within the past year contracted a dis- Lase which the best skill and hospital care for a time could not overcome, and for the past four months he was very patient sufferer, for whom it was realized that there was no cure. He was a very likeable man with many friends and took a great interest in current events and was a great base- ball enthusiast, attending all the games in our village and neighbor- hood, when possible to do so.
