The address of welcome was as follows:
Worthy Master, Brothers and Sisters;
1t has become my pleasure for the th;-'
consecutive year to welcome you to fran
guilty Grange, and though my part on
this occasion is but accidental let me
assure you that our welcome to YOU is
none the less cordial. In normal times
and under normal conditions it is Gus
tomary for person giving the address of
welcome on these occasions to give an
essay or talk on some topic pertaining to
the home, the farm or the grange, but the
times and conditions are far from normal
and all we can think or talk about is the
ever present and ugly subject OF war
Therefore, instead of the usual speeca on
either of the usual topics, will give you
a few lines suggested by the war, which
! have given the dignified title of "Wha
Shall We Do With Billy?" Mr.. Mullin

A Youthful Veteran Visitor.

Corporal Reginald E. McAdam, a native
of St. George, N. B., who served for
three years with the Royal Canadian
Regiment in France, is now in Belfast,
having an honorable discharge from the
Canadian Government on account of gun
shot wounds received in battle. He en-
listed at the age of II years and while a
veteran of four of the great battles-at
Ypres, the Somme, Hill 70 and the fa-
nous Vimy Ridge, he is still fair haired,
blue eyed youth, like so many of our
own American boys at the front. He
admits that there are many interesting
and awful events stamped in his memory
for life, but says all have been cautioned
not to tell what they know as long as
war exists. 1t was at Vimy Ridge that
so many of the brave Canadian boys
gave up their lives for freedom. He says
that the reason the Canadians take so
few prisoners is the awful things they
saw the Germans do to their men in the
trenches After these sights they rather
kill the Germans than take them prison.
erS.
Corp. McAdam was stationed twelve
times in No Mans Land in charge of a
Lewis Machine gun. At one time the
gun was blown to pieces in his hands and
three of his men were killed and four
others badly wounded by five inch shell
that exploded in front of them; literally
blowing the earth from beneath them. He
was sent to the hospital in England, where
he remained IL months with injuries to
both feet and legs from the she'll explo-
sion at Vimy Ridge. He still suffers from
the effects of compound fracture of his
right leg and an open wound several
inches long which he is able to dress him.
self. It was a great relief to him to be
able to do away with both crutches. He
also suffers some from the effects of the
Germans deadly gas, IN addition to the
five wounds received in battle. After
enlisting at Sussex in 1914 Corp'l Nc
Adam was assigned to duty in Halifax
hunting up and interning German civil
ians before going over seas.
He is now enjoying we'll earned rest
from battle and hospital life, but said he
was anxious to 60 to the front as there was
duty for him to do and he was willing
to do it. He wears the Canadian badge
of their wounded and the buttons of honor
from the Canadian Government as a
mark of distinction for doing his duty
for country and humanity.
He is now representing the Singer Sew
ing Machine Company and if any of our
readers use the machine or would like to
buy one from so worthy an agent they
can call, telephone or write him at his
room at No. 13 Miller street.

The Waldo County Veterans
Annual Meeting.

At the annual meeting of the Waldo
County Veterans Association in Monroe
Friday, Alfred Stinson was elected secre-
iary and treasurer for the 22nd consecu-
tive term. He appointed as his assistant
secretary Mrs. Alice Palmer of Monroe,
who will assist him in keeping the records
of the meetings, owing to his failing eye
sight. Secretary Stinson in all the 81
years of his office has scarcely missed a
meeting of the Association and always
has something bright and CHEEKY to say
to the "boys." In his report at the annual
meeting he stated that 10 meetings were
held the past year with good average
attendance and that the people seem more
eager and take more pleasure IN entertain
ing the veterans as the years 60 by. He
reported 81 deaths in the past year, less
than in other years; stating that the num-
ber would undoubtedly decrease as the
ranks grow smaller each year. The fl
nanclal condition of the Association he
reported as good.
The meeting was held in the grange
hall in the forenoon and johnson G.
Trask of Newburg was elected president
for the fourth consecutive term. He has
made a very efficient president, is always
cheerful and happy in presiding at the
meetings and enthuses his comrades with
his fine spirit. He always has funny
story to tell and never fails to bring forth
many hearty laugh from the ''boys."
At the morning meeting 81 veterans
were present and three deaths during the
past month were reported: Comrades
Jacob N. Cunningham of Waldo, men,
ber of Co. E., 10Th Maine; Martin C. Dill
worth of Northampton, Mass, formerly
of Belfast, the first secretary of the As
sociation, 26 years ago, and former
commander of Thomas H. Marshall Post
of Belfast; w. NJ. Morrill, of Monroe, a
member of the 18th Maine.
Dinner was served at noon in the Odd
Fellows hall, gaily decorated with flags
and bunting. The dinner was all that
could be desired. A smoke talk followed
when many battles were fought over
again and the present war in all its phases
discussed.
The afternoon meeting was also held in
Odd Fellows Hall and opened with the
singing of America. Prayer was offered,
in the absence of the chaplain, by Miss
Mansur of Monroe and the address of
welcome, most cordial and hearty one,
was given by Mrs. Nelson Curtis of Mon
roe. S. j. Crockett of Brooks made a
fitting response. The committee on time
and place reported that the next meeting
will be held Nov. 7th at North Searsport,
the home of the secretary and treasurer.
A delightful program of recitations, drills
and songs was given by the school chill
dren, interspersed with the singing of
war songs and telling of stories by the
veterans. 1t was most enjoyable meet
ing and all present are looking forward
to the next.
