OLD BOY'S W''EK
Will be Held in Wingham July 1st, and.
3rd. and 4th.
Wingharn will held a monster Old Boys
and Girls Re -union on July 1st, 2nd, 3fil
and 4th in 1919. For the past couple of
years the Dominion Day Celebration
Committee have not held a celebration of
any kind on July let because of the war.
Now that peace once more reigns it was
decided to re -organize this committee aod
an enthusiastic group of businessmen
were chosen as members of the com-
mittee. A suggestion was made that an
Old Boys Re -union would be quite in
place as Wingham has never held one,
while most of our neighboring towns
have. Ma. L. S, Beninger felt that the
best way to find outif the citizens wanted
this or not would be to take around a ,pet-
ition and he did "so with the result that
over 300 names were segured to it in a
very short tirae. The committee waited
on the council on Mondia morning and
received their senction and,. hearty co-op-
eration.
The following are the officers and com-
mittee: •
President—R. S, Williams.
Vice-Pres.—F. J. Libby,
Manager—R. H. King.
Secretary-Treasurer—A. G. Smith.
Committee —P. H. Deans, W. -A, Currie,

Northrop, Thos. Fells, R. V, Brooks,
W. H. Gurney, D. Somers, J. Hanna, R.
Ta Cowell, W. A. Miller, L. C. Young,
F. J. Hill and R. Wagner.
Although these officers and members
are able and willing to make this an
unqualified success, yet it is the duty of
every Winghamite to put their shoulder
to the wheel and help in any way possible
The committee are asking that they get
the names of all the old boys and girls
who now reside in other parts of,' the
world, You can help by sending in a
list of the names and addresses of . all you
know to the secretary, so that they -will
receive full particulars and a special in-
vitation to attend this great event.
Sub -committees were appointed a s

GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY
When Dr, Conway delivered his famous
lecture "Acres of Diamonds" in the Oa -
Yampa tent at Wingham last summer, lie
placed great emphasis on what opportun-
ity does for those who take advantage of
that fickle dame knocking at their door.
Great fortunes have been made from
tke manufacture of articles, small and
trifling to the ordinary individual but
which by some happy thought of the in-
ventor make the article far superior to
any other similar one.
The hair pin with the crimp, the hook
with the bump, the pen with curve, the
dome fastener, the lemon squeezer and
other like articles, made fortunes for the
promoters and, shareholders.
Now a new inveution in Canada, though
manufactured for some time in the 'Un-
ited States, is about to be placed on the
market and manufactured right here in
Wingham.
Only the good will of the citizens and
their capital to the extent of about
Sao,000 of common stock is necessary to
secure an industry in this town which
will give employment to over a score of
people right at the start and more as the
business expands,
We refer to the tnanufacture of Aero
Cashion tires for autos and bioycles, as
well as other rubber goods.
The demand for a puncture proof tire
is stronger - than for any • other artiele
known, and there is no competition.
Local ;nen, above reproach, are bebind
the project and deserve encouragement
This looks like a gilt-edged opportunity
for those who have tnoney tel invest and
wish to have it work for them. Do not
wait for :some one to approtteh you but
step into the office on Diagonal cornet' as
dozens of others are doing and grasp
your opportunity,

DEAN DAVIS CALLED
Veteran Clergymen Passes Away At
His Homo In London
—
Customs Officer H. Davis received
word on Sunday that his brother Very
Rev. Dean Davis, London, had suffered a
stroke and was in a critical condition.
Dean Davis has been rector of St. James
church, South London, for over forty
years, and held the record of being the
longest in one parish of any clergymen in
the Diocese.
Since the above was put in type, Dean
Davis has entered his Eternal Rest.
Born in County Kilkenny, Ireland, in
May 1848, of Welsh parentage, his father
being the Rey William Davis. Dean
Davis, was in his 71st year and had been
a permanent resident of London, for the
past 45 years, coming here from a charge
at Bayfield to become rector of St. James
Church, then a very srnall building.
Coining to Canada with his parents,
when very young, he reaeived his educa-
tion at Quebec, Toronto and London,
being a pupil of the late Rev, Benjamin
Bayley, at the old Grammer School. He
took his divinity course at Huron College
and was . ordained in 1871. The same
year hewasraised to the priesthood and
given his first charge at Bayfield, Ont.;
In 1874 he gave up his mission at. Bay-
field to become rector of St James'
church, and it was in connection with his
work as rector of the parish of St James'
which he carried on for 43 year's, that he
became so widely known in London and
the Diocese of Huron. He was created a
canon in 1888, archdeacon in 1894, and
dean of the diocese in 1902.
When Dean Davie took What has been
practically his life work at St. James'
Church, it was a little square fronted
building, 24 feet wide by 42 feet long, but
under his ministry the congregation grew
and with its growth the need of a -bigger
church led to numerous enlargements, re-
modelling etc., until the church became
one of the largest and handsomest build=
ings in the diocese and possessing one of
the strongest congregations in the city of
London.
On the occasion of his 30th and 40th
anniversaries of bis arrival in the parish'
of St, James, great celebrations were held
at which all the Protestant demoninations
of the city were represented. His death
will be felt as a serious personal loss by a
large circle of friendsamongst his former
parishioners, hisfellow clergy and the
citizens of London generally.
Besides Mrs Davis, Dean Davis leaves
to mourn his loss three sons, Rev. L. E.
Davis, of Brockville; Col -E. G. Davis,
M. D., city; Lieut. W. L. Davis at pres-
ent overseas; one daughter, Miss J. G.
Davis at home; and three" brothers, Wil-
liam Davis, Mitchell; Henry Davis, Wing -
ham and Canon T. R. Divis, Sarnia.
The funeral will take place on Thursday,
morning at 11 o'clock at St. James
Church. Services will be conducted by
His Lordship Bishop Williams.

ANOTHER INDUSTRY
Would Consider Locating in
Winghtun
Mr. Hough, representative of the W. E
Seagrave & Co. of Walkerville, addresse
the council explaining to them as fully a
possible the busineas done by this compan
in the manufacture sit' fire -fighting appa
atus and trucks.
They were established in 1902, 17 year
ago, and in 1013, they had orders to th
6xtent of half a million dollars worth
most of which had to be cancelled becaus
of the outbreak .of war. In the inea
time lire burned them, out, and they di
not intend to rebuild in Walkerville, be
cause of the labor problem near the bor
der, They had visited several Wester
Ontario towns and cities but nowhere di
they find a building as suitable for thei
business as the Walker & Clegg factory
Mr. Walker is anxioas_ to dispose of th
factory and is offering it as it stands
machinery included, for e25,000, I
would take over three times that zunoun
to build and equip it at present. ,
Mr. Hough explained that what they
asked the town for was $85,000 and that
he would advise it being put through on
the issue of bonds then they would have
ample security. This company's assets
amount to $150,000, saying nothing of
their good will for which they were offer-
ed $100,000. Prospects are bright for a
much larger trade in the future than they
have enjoyed. in the past. The only op-
position this company. have in Canada is
the Waterous People and their product
is only a steam pump. Mr, Hough pass -
de aroiind seveeal, photos Of their fire -ap-
paratus, consisting of ladders, trucks, etc
He promised that at the start. they would
employ at least sixty men and in the
course of a year or so would employ as
many as two hundred men.
The amount of profits in 1912-13 aver-
aged 40 per cent net on the output.
They would want the town to give
them a fixed- assessment 'and allow the
payment of bonds to extend over a period
of fifteen years. These would be redeem-
able at 105 with a par 100 value and the
rate of interest should be about 7 per
cent. 'Payment would commence after
five years.
The Seagrave Co are not particularly
anxious to sell stock but will give' a few
local men the privilege of securing a limit-
ed amount. Three local men would thus
be allowed to sit on the board of Direct-
ors. All that they are requesting how-
ever is that the town guarantee their
bonds for 5.000.
Councillor Willis inquired how this
$85,000 would be expended and Mr,
Hough explained that 25,000 would buy
tlfe- building and 30,000 would be used
for equipment while the company have a
liability of $10,000, and they would then
have a working capital. of 320,000.
Moved by Councillors Elliott and Willis
that after hearing Mr. Hough's statement
we refer the matter to the executive com-
mittee to confer with the Board of Trade
committee to fully investigate the matter
and report back to the council at as early
a date as possible.—Carried.
Moved by Councillors Willis and Fells
that we give a refund of $35 to Mr. Chal-
meri, it being a portion of his transient
trader's license.—Carried,
A special meeting of the town council
was held on Monday morning. The coun-
cil thamber was fairly well filled with
citizens, some of whom were anxious to
see that the council would sanction the
holding of an Old Boy's Re -union and all
of whom were more or less interested azin
the proposition of the W. E. Seagrave Co:
of Walkerville to locate in Wingharn.
Mr. R. S. Williams, President of the
Dominion Day Sports Committee, in a
few words asked the council for their un-
animous co-operation hi the holding of an
Old Boys' Re -union at Wingham and pre-
sented a petition signed by about three
hundred citizens asking the council to co-
operate. Moved by CouncillorIVIitchell
and Angus, that this council do co-operate
with the Old Boys' Re -union Committee
as requested.—Carried.

Histories about the war are being plac-
ed on the market at the rate of about
two a mioute and it is timely to warm
readers as to the edvisability of waking
a while before placing their orders It is
a certainty that no history written at this
early stage can do credit to the Canadians
together with a comprehensive review of
the whole war, is what we should sttive
to get for our children, Canadians in
purchasing a work on the war should be
careful to know that it is written from a
)3ritish or Canadian standpoint. Histor-
ies published by other countries while
potitibly true as to the main facts are
inclined to be colored by natural pride,
which is revealed by layine stress on cer-
tain eituatioris and minimizing the bit-
portrinceiX others A history compiled
by their own countrymen, giving thena•
the proper perspective and interest.
would seem to be the logical record for
Canadians to purchese.
