FORMER EDITOR OF THE GLOBE DIES AGED EIGHTY-ONE William Campbell Presided Over Paper in Days of Hon. George Brown Toronto, Oct, 9.--William Camp- bell, city editor of The Globe in the {days of Hon. George Brown, and Past President of the Caledonian Soclety, passed away on Friday at his home, 40 Hazelton avenue, af- ter an illness of two weeks' dura- tion,, Mr. Campbell had celebrated his eightieth birthday last week, and he and his wife were to cele- brate their golden wedding on Nov, 5. Born in Forfarshire, Scotland, he came to Toronto more. than half a century ago, and entering news- paper work was city editor of The Globe at the time of the tragie death of its founder, He later went to the West on journalistic work, and for some time was associated with: The Win- nipeg Free Press. He returned to Toronto, and latterly had heen em- played with the Tgronto Hydro- Electric Commission as an account- |* ant, He was able to carry on there until his illness two weeks ago, practically dying in harness, a manner in which he had always wished to end his days. He was Past President of the Caledonian Society and Secretary- Treasurer of the original Robert Burns Monument Committee. He was also a member of St, Andrew's Society. A staunch Presbyterian, he attended St. Andrew's Chruch, King street, where he was an el- der, He 1s survived by his widow, who was a daughter of R, D.

No fur- ther developments are expected at this end, and Harlton probably will not he told that his identity has been discovered until everything is in readiness to remove him to London to stand trial there on the capital charge. JOHN DEACON Young Canadian tenor who is appearing as assisting ertist with Leslie Hodgson, sensational Cana- dian pianist, at the new High School Auditorium, Belleville, Fri- day, October 5th. Mr. Deacon, in the opinion of Ed- ward Johnston, possesses a Voice and stage personality which should ultimately carry him to the musi- cal heights, Following his appearance with Mr. Hodgson, he leaves at tae sug- gestion of Edward Johnston for further study in New York. Both Mr. Hodgson and Mr. Deacon will use the Heitzman Piano--the fav- ourite of many famous artists-- during their Canadian tour, dt a Clapce Today is Tuesday. * % % The Daily Horoscope There is practically no reason for any hard a today, because the sun rose in esc cast, and is expected ia set in the west. But if it Jaina ere is ample opportunity that the line of life will be somewhat chang- ed. Middle aged people whose hair needs brightening up a little will find peroxide somewhat of a help, al- though we favor letting it become white. Today's favorite flower is pastry flour, Husbands yearn for it, babies cry for it, but it makes no dif- ference, it's still purchased at the confectionery store. Today's lucky stone is the diamond, because it's al- ways the diamond. Girls nowadays won't thank you for an amythest, or even a ruby--they want a diamond. The cards show that those born on this day will be handsome, true, loyal, law-abiding citizens, wealthy, sweet- e te, interested in others' welfare, interesting, will de- velop a splendid personality, and two sets of teeth. They will be Something in the world, if not anything at al They will never get angry but are allowed to fly off the handle. They will form their associations early in life, which doesn't Recessarily mean that they will marry early, They will die either before fifty or after that age. It is recommended that they strive to live to be a hundred or they will die in the attempt. Their fav- orite song is "It ain't gonna rain no more" (now why bring that up) and they will experience a great deal of difficulty with their mother-in-law, They will run along life's pathway and if they don't trip they will be quite successful in business. Most of the gentlemen will be real estate agents, and most of the women will be spinsters who are born on this day. On the whole those born on Tuesday, October 9, 1928, have an awful row to hoe, but they may be able to grow something in it if they stick at it and rear onions, Now that that's off my mind, -- "EEE That there's plenty of room at the top, Is 2 saying we're prone to ig- The ohjset today, gainsay, Is to get in upon the ground floor, you cannot * Why not equip your disposition with emergency Drakes?

It is reported that the deer and moose in the clearings this year are very plentiful, but it is doubtful whether this particular clear- ing will have any claim upon the wandering stray moose or not, How- ever, Hank has bot hisself a new gun, more like a minor cannon with two harrels and to make certain that once he gets the chance the mouse will fall at his feet, he has also purchased two flirts, and a new ram red, Hank has three of the world's chzmpionships to his credit, the most brilliant of these being his starring of the Apple Crate Centre Yacht Club's regatta last "98 when he rowed Hess Applecrib's flat hottom punt a- cross the creek in one hour, forty-two onnutes and thirteen seconds and a fraction. This fete was broadcast all over Canada and the champion awaits thie pleasure of anyone who will com- pete against him for his title, The other two championships were won in the early springtime when Hank carried a pail of maple sap two miles by a fully threes yards more than his closest competitor, The third was given to him after he suc- cessfully and without any apparent after-effects went for a short swim in the creek on February 4. "It's all yery easy," says Hank, who poses for his photograph, and ex- plains that he must go home so that he may be up bright and early to at- tend to his pet rattle snakes of which he has. seven. .

An indication of the situation In the Oshawa public schools, and a comparison of the enrollment fig- ures of this year with the two pre- vious years, is shown in this clause of Mr, Cannon's report: Increases September 1926 showed a total registration of 2877, September 1927 a total of 8028; June 1928 a total of 3098; while this year's September registration total fis 3344.

"RED" PROPAGANDA 13 GIVEN TO BOYS Communists Distribute Cir. culars to 7,000 in Mont. real Parade Montreal, Oct. 9.--Seven thous- and boys and cadets were lined up Saturday afternoon in Lafontaine Park for the parade which was to conclude "Boys' Week," when Communist circulars appealing to the lads "to join Young Pioneers and the Young Communist League of Canada," were found fluttering around. Thirty constables at once were put on the track of the dis- tributors of the "Red" literature, but they had escaped -- evidently with their distribution madly wrecked, for few coples of the leadlets got to the boys. The circulars were of the usual type. The boys were warned against the "bunk" of being loyal to a country while run by the "Bosses." 'They were told that the forces behind Boys' Week were also organizing to. fight Soviet Russia, "the only country where those who work rule. The only workers' children get free schooling and are tdught trades in special training schools. They only work six hours a day and get four weeks vacation with pay," Near Congestion in the Oshawa Public Schools Despite New Addition "SHOOT" FILM IN CANADA'S HINTERLAND Toronto, Ont., Oct. 9.--Camera- men who have been operating around Lake Timagami for the last two months, filming an Indian ple- ture for the American Museum of Natural Hist New York, have nearly completed their work. In the taking of the picture, the photographers have had close co- operation of the Ontario Depart- ment of Lands and Forest, and of the fire workers working under that Department.

Durham County unty Contention) Receives Many Congratu- lations as He Successfully Breasts the Barrier at the Century Post -- Great Grandson Born on Same Date Newtonville, Oct. 9.--~On the after- noon of October Sth, a very unusual and happy event took place in the village of Newtonville when a few friends, representing a much wider circle of friends gathered at the home of Samuel Joues, Sr, to congratu- late him on the unique occasion of his one hundredth birthday. In the year 1820 Mr. Jones' grand- mother immigrated with her five fatherless sons, John, Robert, Wil- liam, James and Humphrey, and their families from the County of Fer- manah, North Ireland and landed in Port Hope, Durham County. Hum- phrey, the father of Mr, Jones, with his wife and children settled on Lot 8, Concession 1, of the Township of Clarke and after eight years sojourn in Canada on the 5th of October, 1828, Samuel, the subject of this sketch was born in a log house, just to the east end of the present homestead Samuel Jones, Newtonville, __ Celebrates 100th Birthday and around it the entire record of his life circles, Those Golden Days Mr. Jones still holds very vivid recollections of the conditions of those carly days. It is simply thrill ing to listen to him telling of their struggles, dangers and achievements and we are forced to acknowledge on more than one cccasion, the worth and value of their efforts to the peace and pleasantness of today. On December 26, 1855, he became united in marriage with Miss Maria E. Fitzpatrick, of Cobourg, and the nuptial knot was tied by Rev. Canon Brent, father of the present Bishop Brent of New York and there was born to them three children, Samuel, on the homestead, Harry, of Vancou- ver and G. Williams, manager of the | Port Hope Telephone Co. In 1925 they celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary and on August 23, 1927, at the age of 94 years Mrs, Jones passed peacefully to her eternal rest severing a happy union of seventy- two years, Century Mark It was thought the great occasion of his hundredth birthday should not pass without a fitting recognition so! a committee composed of Miss Hat- | tie Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Gettys Jones and Mrs, P, A, Mitchell worked dili- gently to that end and Friday a num- ber of close friends and immediate relatives called on Mr. Jones to con- vey the greetings of his wide circle of friends to him. Owing to a cold recently contracted which left him in a weakened condition it was deem- ed advisable that only a very limited nue Should sce him, these includ- ed W. G. Jones and wife, Sam Jones, Ir.

Wallace, Miss Hattie Jones and one or two others, Great Grandson Born Word came that a son had been born to Mr, and Mrs. Willis H. Jones, of Nestleton, on the very day of his great grandfather's birthday, No doubt now that he hit the right day to start life, he'll pick his great grandpa's name of Samuel to insure success and a long life. This latest member of the Great Jones family i a son of Willis H,, a grand son of G, William and a great grandson of the centenarian, Samuel, SPEED CAR OVERTURNS ,, Woodstock, Oct, 9.--Trying out a speed car which had been in his father's garage for repairs, Law- rence Harmer, son of Joe Hare mer of Drumbo, last night was bad~ ly injured when he lost control of the car and it turned over several times.
