“40 Bandsmen Coming. Word has reached the city that there will be forty in the Salvation Army silver band arriving here on Saturday evening at 5.40 via G.T.R. This includes the officers in charge, Capt. and Mrs. P. J. Parsons of Toronto. As a number of these men are returned soldiers, it is expected that the heads of all patriotic bodies will take part in the reception.

In addition to cars provided for about fifty by the G. W. V. A. cars will be required for about seventy-five others, including sixty members of the Women’s Home League of the Salvation Army. These wives, daughters and sisters of men overseas wish to have a part in the welcome to the returned army bandsmen, and if any citizen having a car would phone Adjt. Trickey at 813, he would be very grateful.”
