SLUEVALE.
Miss Susie I. Collie, while climbing
a ladder on Saturday, had the misfor-
tune to fall and injure her knee which
will probably confine her to the house
for some time.
Pte. John Wilburn returned from
England where he has been since the
beginning of the year, last Wednesday
night and was met at the station by a
crowd of citizens who had been assem-
bled on short notice and after the
singing of a patriotic chorus the local
automobiles formed a procession and
brought the returned soldier and his
family down through the village and
back before proceeding to his home.
M.. Wilburn's son, Private Earnest
Wilburn, is convalescing in a hospital
at Southell, England. having been
wounded in the forearm. Earnest is to
be congratulated on having been the
first Bluevale boy to shed his blood for
the Empire.
On Friday afternoon and evening,
Aug. 25, a garden party will be held in
Bluevale, under the auspices of the
Women's Institute in aid of their Red
Cross work which they have carried on
so loyally since the beginning of the
war. The need of Red Cross supplies
will be greater than ever during the
coming months since the forward
movement of the allies has begun in
earnest and greatly increased numbers
of British troops will be kept in con-
stant action on the firing line with the
consequent need of added resources to
care for the suffering and wounded
men. The Women's Institute are
therefore taking this means of raising
funds to carry out their increased re-
sponsibilities and rely with confidence
on the people of this district to support
them. As the Women's Institute is a
small organization all the families in
the community are requested to help
in making the garden party a success
by bringing baskets, etc, The leading
event of the day will be a Young Ladies
baseball game between the Gorrie and
Bluevale young ladies. As both these
teams have a good reputation for fast
play the contest will no doubt be an
exciting one. A. H. Musgrove, M. P.
P. has kindly consented to be umpire
and the game will begin at 4.30 p. m,
Supper will be served from 6. to 8 p.
m. and in the evening in addition to
other attractions a good program will
be given by Wingham and Bluevale
talent. 14r. Robt. Black will be chair-
man. Admission 25 and 15 cents. The
garden party will be held on the School
Pat* and this octession will mark the
opening Of these grounds as a recrea-
tion centre after many months of pre-
paration to that end by the united efforts
of the school section and the Literary
Society. Come and do your bit for the
Red, White and Blue.
The Cost of living showed a slight drop
for July as compared with June, most
foods averaging lower,
