ADDRESS AND PRESENTATION About sixty of the friends and neigh- bors of Mr. John Morrison, 7th Con, Turnberry, met at his home on Tuesday evening, May 27th and presented his son C. A., recently returned from overseas, with a purse of gold and the folio wing ad- dress. Turnberry, May 27, 1919. To Pte. C. A. Morrison. Dear Aliie- It is with great pleasure that we, your friends, have gathered here this evening to bid you welcome home and to express to -you in some trifling manner our ap- preciation of the sacrifice, you have made by leaving your position to go overseas in defence of our King and Country. While overseas you were exposed to many hard- ships and now we are glad to know that you have arrived safely home and with us once again. Kindly accept this small token of our esteem, not for its value, but as a means of expressing to you the es- teem in which you are held and the hope that you may be long spared to enjoy a life of prosperity, peace and happiness. Signed on behalf of your many friends, N. E. Walker. R. W. Hogg. I. J. Wright, Mr. Morrison replied briefly thanking his friends for their kindness to him. WESTFIELD P. S. CONCERT The concert given on Friday eve. byithe pupils of Westfield School, under the dir- ection of Mr R. R. Redmond assisted by local talent proved a grand success, The Methodist Church shed, which had been fitted for the occasion was filled to overflowing. It is estemated that as many as $00 people were in attendance. Rev. Mr. Miller, a former minister of Westfield -Church had been requested to attend and was called to act as chairman. He was given a hearty ovation by his host of friends, The progam was excellent throughout. It consisted of Choruses, Dialogues, Drills and Recitations by the children, a male of chorus df 3o, readings by the ever po- pular Mrs., Treleaven and Mr. Colin Fin - gland and a splendid solo by Mr. Earle Wightman, Messrs. Maitland Henry and Stanley Sibthorpe as Rasius and Sambo were in excellent voice and splendid hum- or. The appreciation ; of the audience was shown by the hearty applause which their sereval numbers drew forth: It is admitted generally, that as entertainers they haven't an equal. The Westfield people appreciate the fact they have, in their community, such clever artists who are so willing to give their, assistance. The oc- casion was also the first appearance of a five piece terchestra`i Miss Howson, Mes- srs. Roy and Chas Toll, Earle Wighman and R, R. Redmond, taking the different parts. Much credit is due Mrs. Henry and Miss Minnie Howson for the splendid accompaniments during the evening. A feature, which greatly assisted in the success of concert was the splendid light supplied by the Northern Electric Com- pany through the courtesy of Mr, W. A. Logan, Blyth and installed by Messrs. Berges and Currie. It is the first time the community has been served in this novel way. The service was splendid and the audience delighted. To Mr. Logan and the Northern Electric Con pany are due the thanks and best wishes of the management. ' The Westfield people are to be con- gratulated` upon their concert. The splendid results are an indication of what maybe • accomplished where such hearty co-operation exists between ratepayers and teacher as is much' in evidence .at Westfield.; Mason & Risch Phonograph, best made, plays any• record.

The Bell Telephone Co. of,Canada Mkt7GrIAM A.IJ7A OA Plans for Peace BY JANE 0SB4RN (Copyright,• 10184 yndtcate)by McClur, e Newspaper Some of the more leisurely or Indo- lent of the boarders at Miss Ring's always lingered in the wicker chairs of the sun parlor after breakfast, but this morning there were more totter - ors than usual, and they were talking in accents that showed keen Interest. Anti'tliat Interest had been aroused by headlines in the morning papers that indicated thet the end of the world ,war, If not in sight, was at least some- thing that Otte dared dream about. "I suppose Miss Icing will have tO come down on her board," a little u eazen-faced old lady, noted for her miserliness, .was saying. "Well, there's no use. my saving any more pits, I suppose," sighed another; and a third, "At_least, they won't have any excuse for sweetening the cran- berry sauce with molasses. I didn't like to object before. It didn't seem loyal, hut now I certainly-" Doris May, who had lingered on her way to her volunteer work at Red Cross, but who nevertheless was turn- ing her time to account with sock knitting, had at this point emitted a little stifled scream that cut -short the last remark and focused the eyes,.. of the lingerers on her. Doris, twenty-four, and . sweet of face and the youngest member by far of the King establishment, blushed with embarrassment. She had not expeeted to attract attention and she did not really want to explain, "I was just thinking," she explained,. however. "It, suddenly occurred to me that when the war ,.was over there would be no mare socks to knit and no more canteens to work for nor con- servation kitchens -to help with nor liberty bread to bake -and, well, I was beginning to feel sorry and that made me scream, I guess. It seemed so wicked to have anything but the hap- piest feelings that it is all over. I truly shall miss the knitting-" "Well, I air sura I shan't," snapped one of the sourevisagecl members of the establishment who had, during the course of the war, managed to knit two whole pairs of socks and a sweat- er. "I'm quite .exhausted, I assure you, and nothing -hat a. winter in'Flor- ida will undo the damage all this knit- ting has done my nerves," "Anyway, you needn't stop knitting," another one of the company was say- Ing. ayIng. "Soldiers aren't the only people who_ wear socks. I had a cook once an awful creature she was, too -and her husband was n teamster and he wore knit socks. I know, because she used to !.nit the socks in the kitchen during time that I, was paying her to work for ire." "But I don't know any teamsters," laughed Doris. "Really I didn't mean to say I was sorry, because I am not, I am so happy to think that it really Is going to end some time, only It will stem stupid going back to the bridge parties - and teas and things that we used to spend so much time on be- fore the war." Doris went about her work at Red Cross that clay and at canteen thltt afternoon with less than usual of her natural cheerfulness, She was vexed with herself to think that she could have any selfish regrets - When . she knew that in her heart she felt only the deepest of joy at the news of pos• Bible peace. • That evening Capt. Robert Bicknell Came in to the boarding house from the encampment five miles away where since his return from France he had been acting as instructor. Ile was seized by the coterie of those who lin- gered in the drawing room after din- ner. Somehow it seemed as If his opinion concerning the outcome of peace talk would be of more weight since itched come fresh from n military encamp- ment. As a matter of fact the fact that he had come from the encamp- ment made him =especially reticent about discussing it -!--that is, before the group of Miss King's boarders in the drawing room. - It was to escape this assemblage that he begged Doris to take a stroll down the small town street with him. "But people notice se," protested Do- ris. "You know how those women babble, and it was only two n.i,;,hts ego that you were here before"' "Yes," agreed the captain," bi*r;'jllr- • haps there won't be many more if/Tits, I'm not going to annoy you asking you the' old question. I guess you made yourself about as clear to me as any girl could. I know you're not the kind of girl that will accept a men jiist be- cause he keeps at her, and Pm not the kind of man that would want a woman to marry hint just because he did nag her, But I may be' leaving camp soon, and I just have to talk things over with you. You told me you would be interested in me always, and 1 value your advice. I may be talc - ]ng it leap in the dark, but I have been thinking things over and I know now that I can't go on the way things were before the war, "Then I lusts content to be cashier here in the bans.: Honestly, do you know, Doris, when -I first saw the pa- per this Morning and realized that pewee was corning perhaps before I gets bark to Prance, of course my first thought was one of the greatest joy - and then T had She selfish feeling of regret. "I seemed to see myself in the bank again, spending niy dans in the hull Monotony here in this town, 1 didn't find it 'Just then, `int Cots rte been leading the life of a soldier lC see things differently. "Of course I'd be glad to stick around years ---tell years, the rest of my life -if I thought in that `way I could win you eventually, But I know you have matte up your mind, Well, I trona stinking plane; and I was think- - ing that rte moon es war is over I'll sell nut what: interest I have in property here and make for the West,spent a little time on a sheep ranch lin Wyo- ming once, anti I know a felloW out there that could help me buy in to ad- vantage. iso I'm going to make for the wilds ,as soon as aver peace e010414 wtit.xlu•1' It ie ilea tvi •le 1ui'-next Vlti'. I Wanted to tell per. krill ask if you thollgllt I wasn't. right, "1 hope you don't 1titlitli I was a brute for feeling that spirit of regret," he asked penitently. "I can't under- stand it exactly, but until I thought of Ude western scheme I was as blue as indigo. After all, in spite of the hell we have to go through, it appeals to some of ns more than we realize.. I want to go on fighting -and there Is more chance to fight in the -life out there than there is here." Doris had listened intently, and her breathing, fast and irregular, betrayed the intense interest she was taking in her companion's disjointed explana- tions. "Would you need -need to wear woolen sociis?" she asked. • "Woolen socks? Wlty, of course. Cateh me ever going Mini; to those silk things with thin shoos after I've known what it is to dress like a regular loan." "And out there -•I suppose you'd live in a little cabin at first. and .you'd have to have your baking done right there and a lot of canning and everything and there would be lots of work to do for some one," •"Well, ' there's that, of course," and the captain's face registered a slight look of unhappiness. "Perhaps I could get some old couple to do the work for me -it woulthi't be like having a home, but perhaps I could get used to it," "There would be all sorts of work for the -the woman you married, wouldn't there?" faltered Doris. - "Don't Worry," and the captain did not medal the fact of his annoyance at this question. "I have no idea oe asldng any woman to share that -life with me -you are kind to show -con- cern for my possibtj wife, I assure you, but it isn't at alt'neeessary. "But Robert -well, you see 1 was thinking this very morning that; 'al- though I was so happy that the war is going to be over, yet I'd be so miser able when I didn't have to make. sock, and work bard and can fruit and things. I have really been happy do- ing what I have done -and, if you'd forgive Inc for -changing my mind---• and if you really haven't made any other arrangements, Well -I krlow now that I've always really loved you" No Social Barriers in Turkey. . . To those unfamiliar with Turkish customs it may seem strange that Talaak Pasha, who has just resigned • the highest dignity in the Ottoman eln- pire, should have been earning his liv Ing only a few years ago as an obscure telegraph clerk. Yet such big jumps ;are perhaps easier. in Turkey than -in any other country. For although the Ottoman Turks often show the utinost Contempt for. the nut Brous subject races that help to make up the Turk- Ish empire, they recognize no social barriers among themselves. in the eyes of the sultan all are equal. Thus. it may • easily happen - that, given • the necessary ability, •even an emancipated Ottoman slave may become grand vi. zier, and perhaps marry Into the sul- tan's own family.
