very pleasant time until midnight listen-
ing to music, vocal and instiumental,

The O O Surplus.
{
Dominion
ay urp us.
A meeting was held on Friday after-
noon to receive the statement of the
treasurer of the Dominion Day cele -
4 bration. Usually there is a deficit which
the town council has to make up, but the
1917 celebration was so stuc•ssfui - so
well managed, perhaps we o jgbt 'to say —
that instead of a deficit there was, for the
first time in mangy years, a surplus. The
total receipts were $6.57.35 and the ex-
penditures 1511.16, leaving a balance ofI
$148.19. The committee decided to con-
tribute $50 to the British Red Cross %und
and the remainder, 196.1P, to the funds't 1
Alexandra hospital, a disposition of the
money which we believe will be regarded
with general approval by the public.
Capt. Bassett for overseas.
Coll ingwood Bulletin: Yesterday after-
noon. one of the older Collingwood boys,
Captain Frank A. Bassett, left homeand
family with their comforts and pleasures
to do his bit for, the Empire. He has ac-
cepted a position under the British Ad-
miralty and it is understood will sail on a
steamer plying between England and
France. Captain Bassett his had many
years' experience in marine circles. He
knows the game from top to bottom and
during his years spent on the takes has
been in charge of some of the larger
[steamers, among others of the Colling-
wood and Meaford of the Farrar Trans-
portatiotf Co.-- He is a capable mariner,
and his services will undoubtedly be of
great value to the service in which he
will engage. He will report at Montreal
today, where further orders will be re-
ceived. Good luck to him. May he
soon safely return.
