She was laid to rest in Pine- grove cemetery on Tuesday, April 14, 1936. Her father, mother and brothers went to Toronto, Saturday p.m. Paper Run By N^roes A copy of the Georgetown, British Guiana Daily Chronicle was handed to us by Mr. Jaa. Robertson of town, who secured it while on his recent cruise through the British West In- dies. On March 8th, when Mr. Rob- ertson called at that city the ther- mometer registered 148 deg^reea in the sun and 86 in the shade. ,The paper is operated entirely by negroes and is a credit to that city of some 15,000 persons. A number of ad- vertisements in the Chronicle are very interesting to Canadians', as many of the goods sold there are made in Can- ada. Two Canadian life assurance companies have branch offices in that city. Another advertisement of local interest is for "Buckley'si Mix- ture," a cough and cold remedy dis- covered by W. K. Buckley who mar- ried a Ceylon girl. When Mr. Robertson visited the office of the Chronicle he was met by the manager, a full blooded negro, who exclaimed that he was delighted to meet another Scotchman and he was Scotch himself! Mr. Robertson was quite startled by the revelation but did not as'k for any explanation.

Has Diicttit Task The short week of three days was practically all taken up by discussion of the Employment Commission Bill and a money bill providing seventy- five million dollars for relief and public works. It is becoming in- creasingly evident that the commission is charged with many tasks, too many. In speaking on it, Mr. Stevens said: "The Commission will proceed to ex- amine, enquire, analyse, study statis- tics and make a report. . . .That will take probably eight or nine months at the least. It is possible that some time, about the middle of next session, the government will bring to Parlia- ment a supply vote giving effect to some of its recommendations." Then he thought, after a lengthy debate in the next session and a period of rest for Cabinet ministers after proroga- tion, September would see some act- ivity. "At the very best it will be a year before effective measures can be worked out." The present Government, led by Mr. MacKenzie King, pins its faith appar- ently on "a normal revival of trade and industry absorbing a large per- jentage of the unemployed workers." Members of the government repeated- ly voiced this belief. Mr. Stevens, in his speech, warned the government against believing that external trade would revive to a point which would provide a solution for our internal problems. He said: "In my opinion, at any rate, they are leaning on a broken reed when they depend upon external trade to solve internal prob- lems. There is scarcely a country in the world which has been a market for Canadian products that has not in the last dozen years put on high tariffs, quotas, inhilbiitioTis, prohibi- tions and other measures of impedi- Reports from LaFlache, Sask., says that they are paying five cents a pail for water there.

Grand Matron Visits Local O.E.S. Chapter Sister Esther Wilkes, Grand Matron of the Grand Chapter of Ontario, O. E. S., paid a friendly visit to Grey Chapter No. 170, Flesherton on Mon- day evening. With her on this oc- casion were sister Miay Jackson, Grand Organist, Sister Margaret Squire D. D. G. M. of District U, Sis- ter Pearl McDonald, D. D. G. M. of District 10, Sister Bessie Cordell D. D. G. M. of District 19, Margaret Thompson P. D. D. G. M. of District 11, Sister Mary Pendleton, Aldworth Chapter, Bertha Grace of Clovelly Chapter 144, Weston, A. C. McDonald Mt. Dennis Chapter, Weston and W. J. Cordell of Corinthian Chapter, Tor- onto. A delightful banquet was served by the members of Grey Chapter at seven p.m., followed by the regular meeting of the Chapter. Sistei Wilkes gave a most inspiring address and captivated the members with her graciousness and good fellowship. Addresses were also given by the other visitors. The Grand Matron was presented with a silver tray by the Worthy Matron, Sister Mary Bell- amy, on behalf of the Chapter. The election of officers for the coming year was held and resulted as follows: â- W. M. â€" Sister Vera Gibson W. P. â€" Bro. W. J. Colgan. A. M. â€" Sister Irva Clark. A. p. â€" Bro. Geo. Snell. Sec. â€" Sister Emily Dargavel. Treas. â€" Sister Mary Phillip.^. Cond. â€" Sister Hattie Collinson. ACâ€" Sister Mildred McMullen. Auditors â€" Bros. Sinclair, Robert- son and Thurston. Trustees â€" Sisters Beatrice Sin- clair, Lillian Thurston and Bro. Jas. Robertson. The installation of officers will be ment to embarrass the operation of a long-range (Canadian) policy. The, held at the May meeting long-range policy of these countries has been to build up within their own boundaries of self-sufficiency in rela- tion to articles which we have been in 1 che habit of exporting to them." Mr. Stevens then proceeded to ask the government where they were going to get markets' for wheat, lumber, newsprint and manufactured goods. He expressed the belief that this would be a sorry House a year from now if we learned upon the Royal Commission on Unemployment as a solution. Mrs. Jos.

Heart to heart, and hand in hand. Though you were the first to journey To that bright and better land. Will you watch and wait my cominsc When my lonely life is o'er? Will you come and meet me When I reach that shining shore? â€"Sadly missed by Wife The Finance Minister often wears a provocative smile; it is warm enough, but a trifle superior. It brought him into conflict with one of the able private members of his' party, Mr. Gerry McGeer. As usual, Mr. Mc- Geer was speaking well and convinc- ingly on the need of monetary reform and addressing his remarks to the Finance Minister, when to his surprise, he spied the smile and with some heat said: "Yes, the Minister of Fin- ance may laugh, but I want to say that when the time comes for issues of this kind â€" ." When Mr. Dunning, on a point of order, broke in with: "I made no reference to my hon. friend.'' Mr. McGeer: "I thought the hon. gentleman was laughing at me." Mr. Dunning: "I was just reading a very amusing letter. Would my hon. 'riend like to read it?" Mr. McGeer: "I am surprised thot the occasion permits the hon. Minister at this time to read amusing letters, although I must confess that it may be the atti- tude of fthe government . . : " All of which goes to show that per- fect peace does not always reign within the government party. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad publishes a magazine, ?.nd once a year make it a woman's number, featuring outstanding women. This year they are giving a major place to stories of the four women Parliamentarians of Canada. Miss Stevens, their repre- sentative, was talking to me after she had interviewed the women Senators and Mrs. Black, and she expressed herself as being delighted with them. I agree that it would be hard to find three more charming women. It warms my heart every time I think of their presence in the Parliament of Canada. I wish you could meet them. I winder if we could induce them to come to Grey-Bruce ? Easter holidays begin now and end on April 20th. In other words â€" "schoors out." AGNES MACPHAIL House of Commons, Ottawa, April 8th, 1936.

WINTERSâ€" In loving memory of a dear father, Charles Winters, who Passed away, April 18th, 1935. It came at the eve of a well spent Day And the voice that was calling seem- ed to say: Ye that are weary, come and rest.

Our Father heard the sweet command .\nd gently took the Saviour's hand. â€" Sadly missed by his Family, A Correction In our last issue, in refeiTing to the resignation of the Rev. W. J.
