of a very high, character.,, A choir of

able leadership of Mrs. J. J. McGee,
rendered .splendid, assistance in the
service of song, while the sounding
of the Last Post by, Mr. Robertson,

WINGHAM'S: GAY STREETS
DRAW ATTENTION
Not for many years has Wingham
presented such a gala appearance as
last week. when the residents grasped
the suggested idea of elaborate decor
ations and.worked unitedly to make
it the big success it became. Practic-
ally every business place on 'Joseph-
ine street had a plentiful display of
flags and bunting, while banners from
one side to the other heralded the
loyalty' ofthe place ,which the blae"
of polor of flags evidenced in another
manner. Particular mention might be
made of the suitable and effective
decorations at memorial park, where.
flags, bunting and flowers combined
to show the sentiment pervading the
minds of the 13'eople at this time. The
town hall also looked well. An im-
mense new Canadian ensign draped
from one ofthe upper windows hong
in graceful folds over a large, picture
of the Xing surrounded by electric
lights. This, with flags and buntint*,
made a most effective picture. Equal-
ly attractive was the post office win!

ive of the 6o years of Confederation,
and surrounded by flags. The Hydro
