MEET ACQUAINTANCES
AT HENSAIL REUNION
Old Boys and Girls, Return-
ed 'Home for Reu" o
Answer School Bell. 1
HONOUR WM. McKAY
July 1st was a red letter day for
the Hensall Old Boys and Girls when
Once .more, after many years of ab-
sence, they again trod the village
streets and wended their way west -
'ward to the old seho'ol.
There were many changes. The old
paths where little bare feet had trod-
den in the long ago, had given place
to cement sidewalks. The old school
bad, now an added storey and another
room on the gr'ou'nd floor, but it was
still the same old school; now hallow-
ed 'by many sacred m'entorieSS
Shortly after 10 o'clock,the bell was
rung by Miss Jean Murray, who, by
virtue of • being the first teacher in
the senior room of the school- after
it was -built, was given the privilege
and.:.honor of ringing the bell and pre-
siding at the gathering at the school.
1The roam was crowded; seats were
more than filled; the outside aisles,
doorways and halls beyond gave
etandin.g room to many more who had
gathered once more to meet old class-
mates and teachers and to renew old
acquaintances.
• !Rev. E. F. •MeL. Smith, of Pene-
tanguishene, opened with a prayer of
gratitude for• many ,blessings and for
% being spared to meet again .and all
joined with him in the Lord's Prayer
as was the custom in the old days.
Miss rMurray expressed regret,
which was shared by all, that Mr.
William McKay, Who had been the
faithful and efficient teacher of the
school, for thirty-two years, had not
been spared to preside at this gath-
ering and to welcome home his pupils
of bygone days. Very many kindly
references were made to his many
sterling qualities when Rev. Dr. J. S.
Henderson, of Vancouver, his former
minister, paid high tribute to his
memory. Miss Mattie Ellis express-
ed her high esteem .horn of many
years of association with him in the
school" and Miss Gladys Brandt told
of an interview she had with him just
one month' before he went to his rest.
In this interview he had recalled all
Itis pupils and had .spoken of them
with tender heartfelt emotion. Miss
Brandt's message was very much ap-
preciated, giving, as it did, a glimpse
of his life just before its sunset,

A discussion of that ever present
subject, relief, opened the proceed-
ings at the. July meeting of the town
council on Monday night. Mayor A.
D. Sutherland presided and all mem-
bet_C
with the exception prion of Council-
lor J. J: Broderick, were present.
The payment of rent for families
on relief caused considerable discus-
sion and was precipitated as the
Mayor stated there were 19 houses
on which rent is owing.
-Reeve Crosier favored payment of
rent, the sante as groceries or -cloth-
ing. The merchant gets paid, he said,
but the landlord who also pays tax-
es is out of luck. Councillor Murray
Concurred. •
"What will the town come to?"
queried Couneill.or Hudson, • as the
probable cost Was mentioned. .
Presents Resignation
Mayor Sutherland, relief officer,
again presented his resignation. He
had resigned a month ago but coun-
cil asked him to reconsider it, The
matter was not disposed of at this
time, but*cropped up at .various times
during the meeting, not being finally
settled until shortly before adjourn-
ment.
The 'Mayor presented the report of
the Relief Committee and stated that
two families were on relief. The
gross cost of net relief was $93.32,
while the gross cost of labor under
the food and work plan was $341,30.
Assist on Sports Day
The committee appointed at a
farther meeting to co-operate with
the Seaforth Athletic Association in
the field day being held July 17, re-
ported and recommended council pur-
chase prizes for the children's ev-
ents at a cost not exceeding $20.00.
A. motion to this. effect, moved by
Reeve Crosier, and seconded by,, Coun-
cillor Murray, was adopted.
Monday was pay day for the coun-
cillors and a motion authorizing the
treasurer to issue cheques for the
half year was moved by Councillors
Murray- and Johnstone and adopted.

HOLIDAY JOTTINGS
(By F. G. Neelin)
•
Dear Expositor: The seasons for
garnering the crops and holidaying
hating joined this year, left no in-
tervening time -spaces between each.
Our holiday trip extended through the
agricultural counties of Hur.:n,•
dlesex, Lamhton and Kent. ivhirh
may be justly termed the Canadian
Garden of Eden, being at this season
of the year a continuous bower of
h:eture.sque beauty and fertility.
At the village of Florence, Kent-
Lamhten, were were present during
the commemorative services of St.
Mathew•'.s Anglican Church, marking
its 9Oth milestone. This church was
built by the Rev. John Gunne in 1845
and was its first Rector. He was a
travelling missionary between Lon-
doir and Windsor and finally" settled
at Zone Mills, which was aftcrwa,rd
changed to Florence. As wal cu.--
!einary in the British Isles, the earth-
ly remains 1.,if its first Rector are
resting underneath the altar of the
church he so ably and lovingly built
to benefit. humanity. This artistic
little church is perched upon a hill
which make a delightfully pic-
turesque picture with its red brick
formation amidst lovely trees, thus
being pleasingly reminiscent of rural
England and Longfellow's "Psalm of
Life." Around the church the ceme-
tery lies in a lovely hank and ravine
with Gapcher Creek gurgling between
where the remains • of the pioneer
church members rest serenely with
simple marble stones marking their
graves. A master artist's brilth could5
complete charming copies of the view.
The impressive • church services,
jolly suppers, plays and community
social life handshaking greetings be-
tween friends of bygone days, were
heartily enjoyed during the annivers-
ary proceedings by' Mits. Neelin, whose
chii•dthood days were laved with her
uncle, the Rev. Canon Gunne, in the
F'orenee Rectory. After forty years
absence the old familiar seat in the
church choir was again occupied dur-
ing the services. A distinguishing
feature of the good people sof Flor-•
e!tce is—they grew old gracefully.
Among ;he officiating Rectors of
`t• Mathew's Church of past years
1o,d w:'11 known in this vicinity are:
Rev. GeDrge W. Racey,.Clinton; Rev.
;'rar.cis Ryan, Brussels -Walton; Rev.
11, R, Deihl, Varna; Rev, T. L. Arm-
strong. Hayfield, and Rev. H. F. Ap-
-1 :eyard, B.A., of Seaforth.
During the' pleasure trip we enjoy-
ed the honored privilege of partaking
of the hospitality of the household,
rocmbers of Mr. 'John McDowell„,
t,e*"ner of several farms, the hone •
dwelling being situate on the site of
the 1•1uraviantown battle ground as
fought in 1812 between the United
Stoics and British -Canadian troops,
in which the famous Indian Chief
Tecumseh was killed. Mr. McDowell
generously apportioned the site from
his farm property far the erection of
the present. Tecumseh monument to
the Daughters of the Empire Assoc-.
iation, commemorative of the military
genius and British loyalty of this
great Indian hero.
Through the kindness of Mr. Maur-
iee McDowell, we enjoyed a trip to
the Ontario Government Park at Ron- •
dean, through which you travel ten
miles on a hack country sand road
a dense bush of solid primeval for-
est' The sightseer immediately thinks
of the pioneer settlers' difficulties
and bravery in clearing our present
prosperous and well -cultivated farms.
All honor to their cherished memor-
ies! In the Park there are enclosures
for deer, bear, fox and other Cana
-
dial; wild animal life but during. our
visit the deer did not endear them- „
selves to our view, neither did the -
bears bear -down upon, so 'We cannot
give on accurate account of their do-
ings. Probably they were in. caucus
like the Grits, Tories, C. C. P.'s,
F. A.'s and H. H.H.'s preparatory i`ot
the oncoming September elections.
