Gackstetter returned hone on Friday after receiving has dis- charge. from the R.C.A. in London,' McKI LLOP The following article about the 80th anniversary of Mr. Dau Hughes from the Wilkie, (Sask.) Press, will be of interest. Mr. Hughes' is an uncle of Mrs. J. J. Flannery, Guleph, and Mrs, J. J. Cleary, Seaforth, Dan Hughes, an old-timer of the district, celebrated Ms 80th birthday on. February 19th, when many friends gathered at the .home of his nephew, J. B. Roach, to offer their felietta- tions. Music and cards provided the evening's entertainment and at mid- night luncheon was served from a table centred by s cake decorated with 80 candles. His worship, Mayor J. R. MacDonald, a close friend for many years, presented Mr. Hughes with a gift on behalf of his guests and stated that he knew of no oue whose philosophy of life more coin pietely embraced the Golden Rule, This was followed by many of those Present extending hest wishes. Mr. Beggs, ex -mayor and secretary -treas- urer of the R.M. of Buffalo, comment- ed on the good citizenship of Mr, Hughes and his contribution to com- munity welfare. P. M. Florence sal-: uted Mr. Hughes as a good friend and neighbor and 3. Clements said a word on behalf of the young men, stating they held Mr. Hughes in as high regard as the old-timers who had known him for so many more years, All joined in wishing him many more years of health and prosperity. The birthday card was signed by 25 guests after which "Auld Lang Syne" was sung, followed by, "For he's a jolly good fellow." Out of town guests for this occasion were Messrs. John Michael of Phippen; T, E. Bates of Edmonton and Archie Wilson of Luseland. Phone calls and messages of congratulation were received from old friends at other points who were unable to attend because of road con- ditions. Mr. Hughes was born on February 19th, 1866, in McKillop, Huron Cty„ Ontario, and continued to lh'e at the place of his birth for forty years, eventually farming and dealing extensively in cattle. But the call of the West brought him to Battleford in the year 1906, where he turned his hand to various occupa- tions which included carpentry, trucking, etc., but soon after his arrival he became interested in land. In 1908 he removed to Wilkie and two years later joined Tom Ryan and went into partnership in the hotel business in Kerrobert, but in the interim he and Tom Ryan established the' Empire Hotel at Wilkie which. they sold to Bruce McKenzie in 1908. After some years spent in Kerrobert Dan Hughes returned to Wilkie where he had acquired considerable land holdings which now include sixteen hundred acres in close proximity to •Wilkie immediately north and west of the town_ site, He actively farms this land at tite present time and is still capable of directing farm operations and also assuming no small personal part in muck of the work required to be.done. Mr. Hughes' parents passed on some years ago, his father in 1901, and his mother in 1909. Four sisters and six brothers are also deceased and Mr. Hughes is the only survivor of the original family. His nephew, J. B, Roach, is the only relative living in Wilkie. The Press joins in con- gratulating Dan Hughes who is still an up -and -going resident or this com- munity and today appears far younger than main, of itis associates to whom he is many year's senior.
