The leverage ex -service ham has no wish to loin anything of the kind. Once hack at work he has no separate interest that he wants to push; he is only too glad to be a civilian again and to forget that he was ever anything else, and he re- sents the imputation that he makes any claim for preferential treatment of any sort at the expense of those who kept the country genie and his own needs supplied while he was at the war. The ex -service man who knows any American history would dislike nothing store than that there should arise in this country any or- ganization like the American associa tion of Northern veterans of the Civic War, which dragged the nano of ex• soldier in the mud by half a century of sttcceysful depredations on the American Treasury. We do net think there is much livelihood of any British parallel to the American pensions scandal, but there is a certain amount of political party institration to ex - service sten to farm themselves into a semi -political guild or league. Those Who instigate it seem usually to do so under the delusion that the terns "ex -service man" represents a certain kind of character. opinions, and in- stincts. Of course, it ,Ines nothing of the kind. Under a sy-.ctere of con- }5c•riptiun the ex -service rasa) is sim- ply the ordinary man, with, perhaps, "-a -special proportion of antipathy to any form of discipline or grading re- sembling those which irked hint in the ranks. Ex -service men are active • 15.1 every strike and in every police force; as bricklayers they resist dilu- tion and as would-be bricklayers they desire it; under one kind of treat- ment they get more coal out of our mines than they did, and under other forms of treatment they commit re- bellion as Sinn Feiners and arson as Black -and -Tans. There is no "type" of the ex -service man; he is all types, all temperaments, ali characters, good and bad, all political parties, though overwhelmingly more Labor than Lib- eral or Conservative. And his di- versity is the best,possible thing both for himself and for his country.- Manchester ountry.Manchester Guardian. LONDESBORO Notes. -The W. M.

GREY The Late Adan) Turnbull. --As in- timated in these columns Adan 'turn. bull, an old and well known resident of Grey township, passed away at his home, 7th concession., ton th” morning of December 22nd, in his 84th year. About. a year ago he had a severe attack of la grippe and he never appeared to get. clearly over its effects. Ile was up on the morning of his decrease and passed away quiet- ly. The funeral took place to Brus- sels cemetery on the following Fri- day afternoon, Rev. Mr. Kennedy Tak- ing charge of the service. The pall- bearers were old neighbors, viz., Jas, Wright, T. Keller, G. Dunbar, W. Hall, N. Lamont and VI: Hollinger. Deceased was a native of Roxboro shire, Scotland, and cane to Canada when twenty-four years of age. Af- ter a short sojourn in Galt locality, he cane to the loth concession of Grey where land was secured by the family. About 47 years ago . Mr, Turnbull was married to Miss Ann Sinclair, of this toivhship, and they always made their home in this municipality. In addition to Mr. Turnbull, Thomas and Miss Jessie survive, living on the homestead, lot 15, concession 7. Mary: died in her youth. The subject of this notice was a staunch Liberal in politics and took quite an interest in municipal affairs, *cupying a seat at the coun- cil board for a while. Andrew and Thomas Turnbull and Miss Janet, of Grey, and Mrs. .Tames Turnbull, of Galt, are brothers and sisters of the deceased. The number of the stal- warts of the Past are ra t ilY dimin- ishing but their 1r fe and labors will not soon be forgotten. Mrs. Turnbull and children are sympathized with in their bereavement. Mr. Turnbull al- ways had a warm spot in his heart for Scotland, the land of his birth although he was ever ready to sound the praises of Canada. FORDWiCH Seriens Explosion. -Mr. and Mrs• H. Sansom were ,knocked down, and the latter severely burned about the neck and face, in an explosion of acetylene gas in the cellar of their Thy HpRoN R home. Finding on returning from his ,tore, on Thursday evening, that fresh carbide was needed in the gsfnerator, and Mrs, Sansom was doing her work by the light of a coal oil lantern, Mr. Sansom went to the cellar, and his site evidently held the lantern too close when he opened the to of the generator. Sufficient gas wa emit- ted to cause an ,explosion, r. San - an is able to 'attend to 's work, but ut Mra. Sunso n is underl� ar of ye e Dr. Whitley. No damage was done to the house. A freak of the explosion was that a matchbox in Mr. Sansom's Pocket was left intact, while the matches it had contained were blown out of it and the s'.eans burned, though not the heads.

Golden Wedding. ---On Monday, De- cember 27th, 1920, one of the happiest events of is history transpired in Walton, the occasion being the cele- bration of the golden wedding anni- versary of W. W. and Mrs. Hoy. Their eons, daughters and grandchil- dren gathered in the forenoon to con- vey their congratulations, among those present being Thomas and Mrs, ('.lark, Morris township; J. W. and Mrs. Morrison, Toronto, and R. W. and Mrs. Hoy, Walton. The good wishes of Uncle Sam were brought by Dr. W. L. and Mrs. McCutcheon, of Wilkes Barre, Pa., the latter a'grand- daughter. Mch regret was express- ed at the unavoidable absence of R. J. and Mrs. Hoy, of Watertown; It and Mrs. Alderson, of Waubamik; and families whose presence would have completed the circle of children and grandchildren. Rev. J. S. Johnson, rector, with Mrs. Johnson and Miss Dorothy represented St. John's church, Brussels, in whlth the ceremony of fifty years ago as performed, ed it be- ing a happy coincidence that the of- ficiating clergyman, Rev. Wm. Mur- phy, also united William and Mrs. Bryans, of Brussels, whose golden wedding was recently celebrated. After all had feasted on the bounties provided, Rev. Mr. ,Johnson, in an address abounding in humor and sentiment, conveyed to the happy couple the felicitations of their de- scendalits together with a tangible expression of the sante in the - shape of a purse of money, contributed to by all. Mr. Hoy feelingly respond- ed, and then followed congratulatory speeches from different members of v -se tier:4'9g AO the family. For the evening the A. O. 11.:W, Hall was utilized and near ly 200 neighbors and friends from Walton, Grey, Morris,. McKillop- and Hullett gathered in honor of the err casion. A most enjoyable programme of -music, songs and readings lasting nearly two hours, was interspersed with short addresses from Duncan Johnson, John Bolger and George Me- Vittie, who referred in eulogistic terms to the high place occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Huy in the esteem of all, and presented purses respectively for the villagers of Walton, the mem- of St. George's church, and the fam- ilies of R. 1I. Ferguson II. B. Moon and G. A. McVittic. Rtev. Johnson, the chairman, replied in each case for s alsogave an the rec;ei sent and p ad- dress and being in his happiest vein captured the assembly completely by his humor and sympathy. A real old time d).nce followed for a few hours in the midst of which the guests were regaled by an appetizing lunch, the conclusion to the festivities being a picturesque hand -clasped double circle around the honored couple and the thunderous chorus of "Auld Lang Syne.” William Wright Hoy was born in the Township of Burford, near Woodstock, in 1848. When fourteen he moved to Collingwood township and two years later to Thornbury. While there he came to Huron for his bride. Until 1893 they continued to reside in Thornbury carrying on a butcher business, then spent five years on the farm, lot 7, concession 5, Grey. After three years in Trout, Creek, where they gadded a confec- tionery store, they came to Walton in 1901, continuing in the same lines until five years ago when they re- tiree from active business. business. In 1866 sd the time of the Fenian Raid, Mr. Hoy joined No. 7 Company, 31st Battalion of Canadian Volunteers in (liven Sound, and remained with then for sixteen years, during the last three of which he was Regimental Orderly. Then and since he has been noted for his niarkmnnship and has always been an active and zealous member of the Orange Order since 1864 Caroline Kerney, the bride of fifty years ago, was burn in Streets- ville, Ont., but at an early age came with her parents to lot 15, concession -1, Morris and later to int 6 concession 7. Grey, where she resided until her marriage. She is the daughter of the late John Kerney, •a sister of Rev. Wm. Kerney, lately deceased, and a cousin of Rev. Peter Rowe hi=hop of-\Loska. ,irrhn H. Kerney and Mrs. W. Winegar, "f l'owlerville. 31,-higan, are brother and sister. Mr. and Mrs, Hoy carry their years well and their fresh, bright appearance ,luring the celebration was frequently .nnnentcd en. Scrupulous honor and integrity ,n business, together with hearty ne•ighborline>s have given (hent a high p!xee in the esteem ami affection of all who !.now them and a wide circle juin in good wishes for ;heir future years. EIPt'EN `uhes....31,s, (Rev., McKibben, of Gnrrie, the fere part of the week was visiting at the hem(' of her sister Mrs. H. and Mrs. David Ryckottn recently from Dakota, who are staying at the parental hone of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Parsons, are receiving congratulations of friends, sa young son having come to brighten their lives. -Mr, Alex. Sinclair, who handles more good horses than any- one for miles around, the past week disposed of his teats of heavy draught geldings, which he had at the Guelph Winter Fair. This team is coming five years old and weighs 3,)100 Tbs. The buyer was a Man from near Paisley, who purchased them for ship- ment to Vancouver, and the price paid was around $800. Who says it doesn't pay to raise horses? -The many friends of Mr, and Mrs, Richard Tay- lor, of Tuckersmith, whose son was so seriously ill for scone days, will be pleased to learn that he has -taken tt turn for the better. ---,Mrs, Peter Cameron, of Kindersley, Sask., was spending a few days this week with her sister-in-law, Mrs. W, Henry, in Hensall.-Rev. Mr, Lundy preached the first sernion of his pastorate in St. Andrew's church on Sunday morning, taking his text from the 21st Chapter of Revelations, "Be- hold I stake all things new,” which was very fitting for the beginning of a new year and also for the be- ginning of a new pastorate, Mr. Lundy's discourse left a good im- pression on the large congregation. As both Mr. and Mrs. Lundy come to Kippen with large recommenda- tions as Christian workers. it may he said that the congregation has a bright hope before it in the corning year. Induction of Mr. Lundy. --The in- duction of Rev. R. A. Lundy into the pastorate of Kippen, Hills Green and Blake, took place in St. Andrew's church, Kippen, on F'riday last. The weather was perfect and as a conse- quence there was a very large attend- ance of members from the three con- gregations. Rev. Mr- Ferguson, of McKillop, conducted the opening ser- vice, taking for his text the words of Paul, "This one thing I do, for- getting the things that are behind, I press forward to the mark of the high calling, as it is in Christ." Mr. Ferguson's sermon was a very earnest and practical one, and if lived up to by the people, will have a great tend- ency to make the world less selfish and more Christ -like. This was Mr. Ferguson's first appearance before the people of.ICi}ipen, but we earnestly hope it will not be the last. After Mr. Ferguson, Rev. Mr. McConnell, of Hensall, took the chair and Rev, Mr. Lundy was asked to come for- ward, when the necessary questions were put to• him and answered in a very earnest manner. The right hand of fellowship NOW' then extended to Mr. imdt L byhe members of Pres- bytery, er a b and he was declared the Y. new pastor of the three charges. After this ceremonq Rev. lair. Foster, for of the Kippen Methodist church, who was present, was invited to take a seat with the members of Presby - try., Rev, Pr, Colin Fletcher was to have addressed the newly -inducted pastor, but in his unavoidable absence Rev. Mr. McLean, of Egmondville, was called upon, and although entirely unprepared, be gave an eloquent ad- dress that wail listened to with the greatest interest and enjoyment by those present, Mr. McLean paid a high tribute, to the worth of Mr. i Fundy as a pastor: and, to Mrs. Lundy as a great worker, not only in the Missionary Societies but in all other linea of church work, Rev. Mr. Mc- Farlane, of Bayfleld, then addressed the congregations, and in a few well chosen words pointed out to them their duty to -their pastor in ordty that there might be the cm - operation between pastor and people necessary to the successful carrying on of the church work. Rev, Mr, Foster, the visiting minister, was ask- ed to stake a few remarks, which he did in his usual pleasing manner. A very plessant feature of the after- noon's services then occurred when Rev. Mr. McFarlane, who has been acting moderator of the three congre- gations during the vacancy, was pre- sented with a well filled purse, 'rhe presentation was made by Mr. Alex. McKenzie, of the village, who express- ed in a few well chosen words the appreciation of the congregation for the manner in which Mr, McFarlane had performed his. duties, •and the great esteem in which he was held by the congregation. This brought the induction services to a close and all repaired to the schoolroom of the chunrh, where an excellent lunch was served by the ladies, who on this occasion, as in the past, provided bountifully for those present. Music by the choir and a beautiful solo by Mrs. James B. McLean also came in for a good share of praise. Miss Flossie Foss presided at the piano. Presentation. -On Friday evening last Mr, Thomas Mellis, who, fur many yoters, has been a member of Kippen Lodge, Independent Order of Foresters, was waited on at his home by three ui.nnbc•rs of that order, who, presented him with three hanso me as well tis useful presents, as .a mark of appreciation of the faithful years of service he has given to the For- esters. A fine chair was presented by Bro. Wesley French, a sweater coat by John McNaughton, Chief Ranger, and a beautifgl Bible by the Seere- tary wool 'treasurer, Ilenry Ivison, Mr, Mellis was so completely taken by surprise that for a time he could scarcely .find words to express his appreciation of the kindly thuugttts which had prompted these gifts. He assured the members, representing the Loedge, 'new ever, that he was prom! of belonging to a Society such as the Independent drier of Foresters, as no other fraternal Society was a greater work in relieving the bur- dens of \t i,l nes and orphaned chil- dren of former members, and that Bis prayers would ever include evory nn Reber •.1' Kiupon Lodge. it w•an firs) the i» -ntiun of the nttvubcrs the heli,': together with their wig • 11, sun.,.--ovnbled nl lit. hnnio , Mc.

Mellis, Klppen. Dear Sir and Bro.:-The Officers• and members of Hensall Lodge No. 223 I. O. O. F., desire at this time to express their Heartfelt sympathy towards you and yourfam- ily in your sad bereavement. It is indeed a heavy blow, and we scarce- ly know how to speak of consolation under so great a loss -human con- solation. is so weak -but think of God, who loves and cares for us and has prepared a bright and beautiful hone beyond the grave, where your dear departed will in sweetness and love await that re -union from which there is no parting and sorrow is un- mown k MayGod bless G b ss tad comfort u you is the sincere wish of every member of this Lodge. Signed on behalf of the Lodge, Wm. Mackay, HENSALL Briefs, -With the very mild weather of the past week some of the farmers were plowing in this section, and some have also tapped their trees, which is something wonderful for this time of year and speaks for the mildness of the winter so far. - Sugar beets are still being delivered at the station for shipment. -Dr. McEwen, of Detroit, visited at the home of Mr. J. D. Reid during the past week. -Mrs. T. J. Berry receiv- ed a sad message during the past week advising her of the death of her younger brother, James Ford, of Washington, who died very suddenly from that dread disease, pneumonia. James left his home when a boy of fifteen years and although often plan- ning to take a visit back here to see all his relatives and friends, through the pressure of business and many engagements he seemed prevented from doing so, and his sudden dearth, just in middle• life, was indeed a sad message. He will be remembered by many as a very bright boy at Wool and in taking part in examinations, and we believe he was, veryecesa- 6u fol in all hisuei b mess re latroris and was moat generous in Sending home yearly Christmas and other gifts to his relatives. - In the Methodist church on the coming Sunday, the pastor, Rev.
