An orchestra under the leadership of Mr. }V> R- Gouldlng led the gathering in community sing­ ing that was heartily joined in by all and created a Mr. B. W.

FITTON Phone 75w. ; OPTOMETRIST that for‘some time back there has been? talk among the business men of ttye town that there should be more cooperation; there should be a more community spirit and that there should be some or­ ganization formed to further the in­ terests of the citizens and to boost for this, one of the ^healthiest, pret­ tiest and mosbprosperous centres in the fair province of. Ontario, With this in view a smalUfiumber of busi­ ness men got together March 14th to see what could be done to organize. This banquet tonight is the result and the number present shows that you have an interest in your town. Mr. Beavers paid a tribute to the Horticultural Society which has done much in beautifying the town. In closing he introduced the speaker of the evening, MT. W, H. Wood, man­ ager of the London Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Wood appreciated the kind reception he had received. He took for the subject of his address “The spirit of Citizenship in Community Building.” He said the spirit of citizenship is the sqm total of the honesty, courage, copstrucive energy and action of individual citizens, which collectively Applied through their civic institution to community problems produces results beneficial to all. A community must think progress. A strong social order can­ not be built on privileges but only on duties. The man who serves is a more valuable-citizen than the one who merely "gets.” A good citizqn will willingly ac­ cept the responsibility as well as en­ joy the privileges of citizenship, Among the things to be considered might be accident- prevention; agri- cuJim^a^ctivi^’e^’S^kf as clubs, fairs, /social contact; retail trade such as ’attractive stores, buy at home, dollar days, ■ conventions; celebrations, community publicity that will attract tourist trade; a mo­ tor camp and information service; town beautification which includes a clean-up and paint-up campaign; re­ creational facilities, and by develop­ ing the community -spirit through meetings, good-will tours, entertain­ ments, field days, outings speakers. The speaker mentioned that ist trade brought a lot of extra ness to a community and he suggest­ ed that some, form of literature that would set forth the advantages of Exeter be secured and distributed. I The value of the work that may be done for Exeter will depend on the co-operative capacity. A com­ munity with a voluntary institution has a decided advantage over centres lacking such a modern civic organi­ zation. If you build such an insti­ tution you will build your commun­ ity and thereby build for yourself. A community is as good as its citi­ zens make it. Mr. Wood’s remarks were well re­ ceived and heartily applauded. Fol-, lowing his address it was moved by J. M. Southcott and seconded by M. R. Complin that a Chamber of Com­ merce be organized.

Carling, of town and Jack McDonnell, of Hensail, returned home Friday last after a very enjoy­ able Xrip to the West Indies and S. America. They left Exeter the lat­ ter part of February for New York where they boarded the C. P. R. steamship Montroyal for a cruise of over 6000 miles calling at fourteen ports that belong to nine different governments. Shore excursions had been arranged at the various ports with a view to seeing all that was worth while during the limited time at the disposal of the party. The i first stop was at Bermuda, a group of 350 small islands and reefs only 15 of which are inhabited. The won­ derful colors of the waters, gleanty white of the coral-built houses, the green cedars, the grace­ ful palms, the charm of sea-gardens, tho brilliant-hued fish swimming amongst coral formations are a great joy to the traveller. After leaving Bermuda the next stop was at San Juan, the capital and largest city of Porto Rico, with a population of over 70,000 and noteworthy for its for­ tifications, castles and public build­ ings. The walls of the city are from 50 to 100 feet thick. Sugar and pineapple plantations and orange and grapefruit groves were greatly in evidence. The next stop was at St. Pierre where in 1902 through a volcanic eruption the en­ tire town was reduced to ashes and only one of its 40,000 inhabitants es­ caped—a convict confined in an un­ derground dungeon. They next vis­ ited at Fort de France, the capital of Martinique, a fine harbor defend­ ed by three forts. It is the principal naval station of France in the West Indies and has a population of 26,- 4 00. The Barbadoes was the next stop and here a motor excursion was arranged that took in the greater part of a day and touched at many important points. •From there the party sailed for Trinidad, the second largest of the West India Islands where the party spent a day and a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, April 7, 8, 9 Exceptional Bargains in Nyal Goods 25c.
