The Red Cross notes a Wednesday event for soldiers at the front hosted at Mrs Neil McFadyen's home. All are invited and asked to bring contributions for the troops.
Pte A Smith arrived in the village on Saturday evening from Valcartier and has one month’s leave. The Asessippi church drew Ontario friends at Sunday service, with choir practice planned at Mrs Gerrard’s Thursday night. Threshing runs vigorously, oats remain, and Harvest Thanksgiving services shift to October at Shellmouth and Asessippi. Rally Day set for Sept 30 and Sept 30 at 3:30 pm and 11:30 am with scripture readings, recitals, hymns, and a Sunday School address. A special collection supports Sunday School work. General notes cite U S army training, press war relations, and Mackenzie bargain debates.
