WHY THEY LOSE JOBS (Overseag Daily Mail) Our people at home who read of 'another windfall for the treasury" do not all realize that these wind- falls mean much unemployment. It is estimated, for instance, that the death duties payable on the estate of the late Lord Durham are ap- proximately £700,000 This is £250,000 more than was originally calculated. One immediate result will be that Lambton Castle will be shut up--at any ra.e for the time being--and the house in Gros- vener Square and Harraton House, near Newmarket, will be sold. An- ober result is that a very consid- erable number of men are un- avoidably thrown out of employ- ment, many of them, having been born and bred on the Lambtoa estate» ISTHMA Z Riatively relieved, Just swallow RAZ- on Soetles.

The coming visit of these famous Cathedral singers is indeed a rare musical treat and music lovers of al denominations will be wise not to pass up this opportunity, an oppor- tunity that comes so very seldom.

Until re- cently she had been in excep.ion- ally goo' health, but the incle- ment weather of recent weeks tovk a toll which h: century-old ph;- sigue could not withstand. Last Summer on July 12, Mrs. Bayly celebrated the 100.h anni- versary of her birth when her many friends and relatives gathered about her for the occasion. At that time she had intended to revisit her old home in Stewarttown, near George own, but at the last min- ute she decideg that it would be better to observe the event guietly ' ried Thomas bay.y, the riliage of Stewarttown at home. Mrs. pay.y was bora iu] 12, 1528. She cawe 0 live in ror. Dover about 36 years ago aud has made her home there ever siuce. ier tirst husoand was ir. ihomas smith, after whose death she mar- captain of a Great Lakes steamer. After his death, she made her home with her son, T. W. smith, Port Uover jew- eler. Until very recen ly she rema.ned in full possession of her mental facuities. she had a wonaeriul memory. Many intense.y interesting stories of the pioneer days in On- tario came from her lips. Her maiden pame was Mary Thompson. She was one of a fam- ily of 16 chi.dren. Her father, a Scotsman, came to Upper Canada when this part of the province was nothing bu. a wilderness. She could recall with unusual clarity the ex- treme privations which their fam ily were forced to endure. There were no roads and no horses and the father used to walk many miles through the forest to take a bushel of grain for mi.ling io the then town of York. 7 The exciting and adventufous on Ju:y|times of the Upper Canada rebel- f lion of 1837 were inuelioly impres- sed upon her mind. In Stewarttown there was then an old blacksmith shop where the rebe.s congregated and where pikes and spears were secretly fashioned for the Patrioi forces. Mrs. Bay.y was fond of re- lating the occasion when the wife of the smithy visited her father's home to warn the family ot what was transpiring in their immedi- ate neighiorhood les. they be un- expectedly attacked by the rebels. Waile the Thompson family was not touched during the outbreak, the male members of the family were always prepared to resist an attack. Wo.ves and Bears In .hose early days, wolves and bear roamed the district and the] inhabitants were constantly on guard. No one ventured out after dark. The old home of the Thompson family at Stewarttown s.ill stands and it was one of the sincere re- grets of Mprs. Bayiy's declining years that she had mot been permit- ted to visit the building which ho'ds such an historic in erest and about which centred her memories of inating childhood days. The district about Stewarttown is popu- lated by hundreds of the relatives and descendants of the Thompson family.
