10 gullons of gasoline for which Kelly wasdemanding $5.50. Kelly:s
action is. 10 say the least, not very creditable. As far as | can ob-
serve there is nol a question or doubl of suspicion of Mr, Kelly's
being honestly and fairly dealt with but if he imagines for one brief
moment! tha: he can stampede us into precipitate action by use of the
big stick he will soon realize that he is playing with a two-edged

Mrs. Calverley, who, for eighteen years inall, served as Pres-~
ident of the Ladies Aid of St. Andrew’s church. took on. when war
came. the added duty of being president of the Ladies Group of the
Red Cross Society. And her "one-sock a day knitted! was some-

forward and each, atthe pronouncement of aname, places a wreath of
flowers at the base of the memorial. '""A. Burnett" - the reading

in the old home on Grove Street, are still alive to mourn his loss.
"B. Challen ---R. C. Clench' - "ftisn't yourboy. It's mine, Ralph, "

Calverley. But it well could have been Orval Calverley, Maurice
Clench or Dan McKay, for they were all together in that Vimy Push
of 1916 and even today Maurice carries his battle-scar - a metal
plate in his head, while Dan McKay has died long since, a war cas-
ualty. "S. Edwards" - The George Edward family lived for a time
across the track in the house built by Ed Chester and then in the
corner housenow owned by the Jim Wright family. Now in Vaneou-
