Admission: 25c. Artemesia Township and the Vill- age of Flesherton did themselves proud in the campaign for funds for the Toronto Evening Telegram Brit- ish War Victims' Fund, when a cheque for 11.527.26 was presented to Mr. Fred Egan. Telegram repre- sentative, at a grand finale in the town hall, Flesherton, Monday even- ing. The hall was crowded to the doors for the event, many being forced to return home. On receiv- ing the cheque from Reeve J. A. Davis of Artemesia, Mr. Egan warmly congratulated the people on the excellent results of their efforts and for the generosity and sympathy for those who have lost all they had in the British Isles. When the people gathered for the viewing of the Telegram's war pic- tures, the fund had not reached the $1,600 mark set for it, while the for- mer objective of $1,000 'had been reached a couple of weeks ago. Any other appeal was made to the gener- osity of those who were in attend- ance and the amount of $64.67 was collected, bringing the fund over its objective. It was just another oppor- tunity to show how the feelings of the people are turned toward the sufferers in Britain. The only ex- penses incurred during the campaign amounted to $17. Rev. G. K. McMillan presided over a most interesting evening's enter- tainment, the main event being the showing of the Telegram war pic- tures, depicting scenes in Australia, tha ibuilding 'of bomber airplanes, scenes of }the navy guarding the convoys to and from Britain and of the work which the money donated by the people of Canada, through thp Toronto Evening Telegram, is doing: for those who have been bombed out f their homes and who have lost all their earthly possessions and the actual bomb scenes in Britain. The picture program was followed fcy cartoons of about 30 business men of Flesherton from the pen of W. J. MacDonald, staff cartoonist of The Telegram. These gave great amusement to the audience. Another feature was the draw for a radio by Hon. F. R. Oliver, who drew the name of Mr. Arthur Mc- Donald, Flesherton baker. There was also an exhibit of an incendiary bomb, a gas mask used in Britain by civilians, fabric from a barrage ballon and shrapnel from exploded shells. Hon. F. R. Oliver gave a short address and complimented the Tele gram for the energy and work they have put into this fund. They havi rendered a service which will live even after them, because they have cemented the ties which bind us to the Old Land. Mr. Oliver warnec S.

Flying Over The Atlantic On A Magic Carpet This is the second of a series of articles about conditions in Great Britain and other countries visited during six weeks spent in Europe. It is written specially for the Canadian Weekly Newspapers by the editor of the Fergus News Record. Flying across the Atlantic is pure magic. There is no other way to describe it. No modern novelist has ever told the story. It is necessary to go away back to the Arabian Nights with its magic carpets, to Icarus with his wax wings and his unsuccessful attempt to fly over a much narrower body of water, or to Pegasus with his broad pinions. Clipper trips are more mod- ern than our literature. A writer in one popular American magazine recently tried to tell about the flight from New York to Lisbon, but he depended heavily on photo- graphs. He did say, though, that those who had crossed the Atlantic by Clipper belonged to the most ex- clusive club in the world. The mem- bership fee was $1.000 for less than a week and one requires "pull" be- that civilians will have to take up side . s to become initiated into this greater burdens in the future, if the Society. (Officially, the term is not war is to be won. To date. Mr. Oliver. I "P ul1 " out "priori ties."- Perhaps there is some truth to that t>ut it does seem a prosaic way to speak of magic.

Her shoulder length veil of white tulle was held in place by a wreath of orange blossoms. White satin shoes completed her costume. She carried a shower bouquet of pink and white roses and carnations.

BATES & MADDOCKS FUNERAL CHAPEL remarked, the only people who have made real sacrifices are the boys in the armed services. Money will have to be diverted from non-essentials to provide airplanes, arms and tanks. Reeve Alfred Down expressed the regret of all those present that Fly- ing Officr James McKee was unable to be present on the occasion, as he had suffered a heart attack when he was about to leave for Flesherton. and was removed to a hospital. Great credit for the success of the campaign must be given to all those who donated either money, produce or time to raise the necessary funds. The canvassers in the country di.< tricts did a splendid job and special mention must be made of the Pedlai orchestra, which played at the con- cert Friday evening and their* music was greatly appreciated by all those present. The women who raised money by teas, bridges and lunch- eons are also due for their share of credit, but the greatest credit must go to those who gave their bags of potatoes, grain, turnips and other produce, besides thos their dollars to swell, the amount It was only through the spontaneous enthusiasm of all that the campaign was brought to such a successful conclusion.
