“De ‘Wrinch-=Church Fall Was Well. Filled

Nearly, every. ‘citizen in New.
Hazelton, gathered i in the church

hall on Wednesday: night to. gay

farewell ‘to Mr. and Mrs. Donald
MecLeod.. The occasion. was the
reading and presentation of an
address. from the: ‘citizens to Mr.
and Mrs, McLeod, two of the
first residents of this ‘town, and
two of the most active workers:
In every matter that. was for the
social and moral betterment of
community they took a leading
part and their places in the com-
munity will be very hard indeed
to fill. The citizens have always
appreciated their efforts and
their friendship, and they were
glad of the opportunity offered
to express that appreciation. Mr.
McLeod has been particularly ac-
tive in all public matters and al-
ways took a.leading part. Aside
from the great work he has done
he has also put into the country
a great deal more than he has
taken out, although -his invest-
ments are of the highest order,

he has to await the: development

of the country before he realizes
his profits.

The affair on Wednesday night
took the form of a social gather-
ing which was successful in every
particular. The :committee in
charge, - Messrs. .D. R. McLean,
E..B, Tatchell and B. C. Affieck,
did their work well, The. en-
tertainment* committee;~Mre:- L.
B. Warner’ and Mr. Forester,
provided a most excellent pro-
gram, and the refreshment com-
mittee, Mrs. €. H. Sawle and
Mrs. Anger succeeded i in gratify:
ing everyone.

‘ Those taking part in the pro-

eram: were Mrs. Warner, Miss.

Crawford and Mr. Forester. Mrs.
McLean accompanied.

After the. reading of the ad-
dress by C. H. Sawle, in the ab-
sence of B. C, Affleck, who had
been called out of town at the
last minute, Mr. McLeod made a
very feeling reply. in. which he
heartily thanked the citizens on
behalf of himself and Mrs, Mc-
Leod for the demonstration of
appreciation of their services
while residents of New Hazelton.
Mr. McLeod said that he felt it a
great honor to find himself the
object of such a farewell, and
that there was nothing the citi-

‘zens could have done which eould | | |

please - he and Mrs. “McLeod bet-|
ter than such. a social gathering |
and address, . They: would rather
carry: away. with them the love of
their fellow citizens: ‘than all the
riches. that everyone knows are
stowed inthe: hills surrounding
the town.
would often return to New Haz-
elton for. ‘both business and social
reasons, and, because he was
moying to another part of the
country for the present, they
-would hot relax their keen inter-
est in this town and district, |

Following Mr. MeLeod, Dr. i.
C. Wrinch made a. short’ speech
in which he added his testimony
of Mr. MeLeod’s worth as a citi-
zen of the town and district. He
compared the work done by Mr.
McLeod with the promises of good
things from others, Many peo-
ple, the doctor said, had come in-
to the district before and since
the railway construction began;
and made great promises of what
they would do and of the money
they would put into the develop-
ment of the resources, but those

promises and assurances had end- |.

ed there, With Mr. McLeod the
opposite was the case. He had
come into our midst without the
blare of trumpets. He had not
only put large sums of money in-
to the resources of the district,

butshe-had=put-his-time~ and-en- +!

ergy, his very life into the work
of development. His life here
had been a help and an inspira-
tion to all others. He is one of]:
the very few who have really

done anything which helped: the
Aside}

country and the people.
from the commercial side, the
speaker had always found Mr.
and Mrs.’ McLeod prepared to do
a big share in ‘all things for the
good of the community. In the
hospital work.he had found Mr.
McLeod of great assistance, and
for his good works and his. pér-
sonality he would always receive
avery warm welcome from every
citizen in the district.

The address was prepared’ by
F. H. Dobbin, formerly proprie-
tor of the Review, Peterborough,
Ontario, ‘who spent a couple of
months during the past summer

in charge of the Omineca Herald,
