ty Veterans was hell last Thursday on the
Vaughan shore and was a grand success

forenoon under the trees and soon formed
themselves in groups and began to swap sto-
ries of the days of fifty years ago, and became
so earnest that the forenoon slipped away
without any -egular meeting. Then came the
call that the coffee was ready, and the boys
gathered in groups and enjoyed a real picnic
dinner, and it was a feast, that banquet under
the trees. After the usual smoke talk Presi-
