Colin Trenaman.
Last week the toll of war affected our town, and closer home to our well known citizens in Mr and Mrs L. A. Trenaman, who lost their son, Colin, while doing his part in the cause of our nation. I found general regret among readers over his death. He was familiar to readers in general, for growing up among us, and being with his father at the shop, brought him closer up to us. Colin was one of the boys whom we admired for taking the decision to serve his country. Per sonally I regarded him as one of the lads who made for close friendship, and was approachable in every way. It does seem hard that these hoys, such as Colin, have to go out to duty and make the supreme sacrifice some where on our battlefields. Let me say that we appreciate the valued work Mrs Trenaman put in for ap-peals of all kinds when she was with us, and it does not need me to say that in this sorrow which has come to the Trenaman family that all the deep sympathy of readers in the district will be expressed in one way or an other; and we ask them to accept this through this column.
