Are Touring Europe Ostend, Belgium, July 5 Dear Mr. Thurston and all, ]We have been thinking of you people very much today because we have just completed a trip through the battlefields of Belgium and of France. It has been a most memor- able day and brought more forcibly to our minds the hororr and futility of war. I will outline some of the places we visited from Ostend, cover- ing about two hundred miles, Dix- mude, Armientiers, Ypres. Kemmel Hill, passed near St. Julien and Hill Sixty, Vimy Ridge seeing the Canad- ian memorial and on to .^rras. There were fhany other places as well which were headline names only a few short years ai^o. Vimy Ridge was the most inter- esting. The entire part of it has been given to Canada,and is in ex- actly the same condition for the most part as it was in 1918, except to be grown over by grass ahd small trees. There the Canadian and German trenches, only about thirty yards apart, are still to be seen in a wond- erful state of preservation. The ground is simply thrown up in huge mounds by the explosion of shells and mines. We were shown through the dug-outs of both trenches, dug many feet through chalk rock,, fitted up with electric lights and in*much better shape than during the war. Old barb wire, rifles, helmets, shells and guns are still in evidence. We passed many cemeteries, Brit- ish. French, etc., and of them all the British are the most beautiful. By British I mean all those from the various parts of the empire. They are exceptionally well cared for by British gardeners. Roses are now blooming in profusion in all of them. In Ypres we had an hour to spare so we hired a taxi and visited Am- grave in the new military cerm- etery, Renninghelst. Roses were blooming about the stone. We took tw-o pictures which we will be very pleased to give you w^hen we return. Our trip, which we have just start- ed, takes in Belgitfci. France, Hol- land, Germany (Austria), Switzer- land, Italy (Rome and Naples). ^We hope to return on the Empress of Britain to Quebec about August 11. I am enclosing a poppy from Fland- er's Field. Yours sincerely Sam MacDonald Preparations Made For Civic Holiday Monday, August Ist, is a red let- ter day in the history of Fleshertoa when the annual picnic of the Old Boys' and Girls' Association and the- unveiling of the memorial will be held in the park. The 147th Battal- ion Association will also hold their triennial gathering and banquet in Flesherton and are co-operating li». the unveiling of the memorial. The largest gathering of world war veterans ever held in Grey County I win be seen here on August 1st. Aiâ€" I ready several hundred have stated that they will be here that day and many more will be in attendance. They will parade to the park from the rendezvous at the high school, accompanied by the Harriston band and will be in position for the un- veiling at 4.45 a.m. Following the service they will pass the reviewing stand on market square where the salute will be taken by a prominent war veteran. The 147th Battalion will hold & i church service in the park at 9.30" I a.m., followed by their march past with Lieut. Col G. F. McFarland,. 1 their old commander, taking the sal- j ute.

One man gets a two-year sentence for conversion of >1 40.000. another in the same province gets the same sentence for the theft of a club bag froim a hot«l. The Altomer-General does well to ask for a reconsideration of sentence in *!»« Martin case. Union Chnrch Services Ideal weather tempted many to at- tend church last Sunday and the large congregations that assembled in the Baptist and United Churches, bore evidence of that fact. A note- worthy feature of last Sunday's con- grejration was the presence of many of our town visitors. This was in- deed a real pleasure to the locai churches. In the morning Rev. .A.sh- ton ministered in the Baptist church, his message being based upon " Paul's Passion for Souls." A very approp- riate anthem was effectively rendered by the choir. "Firmly Mand for G«d'' which was composed by Dr. C. R. Blackall, the music arrangement by W. H. Doane. The evening service was held in St. John's United and the evening subject by Mr. .\shton was "The Great Humiliation." The choir was assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Buchanan of Vandeleur who took the duet part of the anthem "Rock ©1 Ages'' which was composed by A. M. Toplady and the musical setting by A. J. Showalter. This anthem was a very fitting part of the service and was beautifully rendered with Mrs. Blackburn at the organ. Next Sun- day morning and evening services will be held in St. John's United Church at 11 ajn, aiH 7 p.m. No >?ervice in the Baptist Church next Sunday.

This game will be followed by an ex- hibition baseball game between the Owen Sound .Maple Leafs, leader of" their group in the Bmce League, and the Meaford Knights of the Simcoe- League. old rivals, and this should be weil worth seeing.
