Excitement reigned in the neighborhood on a recent Sunday afternoon when Capt. I.C. LeBoutiller, R.A.F., lighted with his airplane in Mr. Thos. Woolfenden's field. In a few moments automobiles, horseback riders and walkers could be seen coming from every direction, the crowd consisting of preachers, teachers, merchants, farmers and mechanics.

Capt. LeBoutiller and E.M. Stouffacher, his mechanic, enlisted in the Canadian forces when the war broke out and went across to England, where they completed their aviation course. When the American forces were sent over they then joined the Americans and fought with them until the armistice was signed. After soaring at a height of 22,000 feet they are said to have brought down two Hun planes, made prisoners of the occupants and returned to their lines in safety. Capt. LeBoutiller receiving only a slight wound.
