À number of the older residents of Darlington and Clarke Townships will ho interested in the following from the Winnipeg Free Press: W. Lawrence Henry died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. G. Luther Lennox, January l6tb, after an-111. ness of several weeks. Born in Clarke township, Durham county, Ont., Jan. 13, 1851, he married Hester Bingham, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Binghain, En- niskillen, and went to Wroxeter, Huron county, where he engaged in farming and the hardware business. In 1890 he came west and formed the Brandon 011 Co., which two years later was absorbed by the Standard Oil Co. For a period of 25 years he was travelling salesman and later superintondent of agencies for this corporation. His wife predeceased him five years, and since that time he has reaided wth Mrs. Lennox. A Presbyterian in faith, Mr. Henry had been an elder in his church for nearly 40 years, 33 of whîcb he of- ficiated in Knox Church, Winnipeg. He was a life-long member of thei Masonie order and had recently been presented with a-life mernbership in Prince Rupert Lodge. Ho was also a momben of the Canadian Order of Foresters. In politics ho was a staunch Liberal. Two years ago Mr. Henry fe11 on the slippery street when returning froom chunch and sustained injury from which he neyer fully recovered, and although he spent last winter in the south with his younger daughter, bis erstwhile robust health was neyert rogained. In addition to Mrs. Len- nox he is survived by sons, Norman D., Winnipeg; Howard L. R., Ottawa;z William H., Vancouver; and a daugh- ton, Mrs. Edward M. Ptorson, of Sylvia, Kansas; a brother, Samuel Henry, of Bowmanville, Ont., and twelvo grandcbildren. The funeral was held from the Thomson funenal home, Broadway, to Elmwood cem-t eteny. Rev. N. A. MacEachern ofllciated. I I w t I Y. P. L. -COMPETITION The Young People's League met on Monday evening with an attend- )k ance of over sixty. As intimated ~before the boys are in competition d- with the girls ln respect. of member- a- sbip. attendance, punctuality, good v- conduet and ability to answer ques- n, tions pertaining to the tpoic. t A feature of the program was a f debate, "Resolved that reading is )f more important than cating." ArebiR ýd Glenney and John Ashton argued ln- tellectuallyin support of the affirm- be ative, while Ernie Gilbank and Law- ýr ronce Cryderman stood up valiantly ir for the negative. The judges, Miss ýf Robinson, Mrs. J. C. Hancock and n Mr. Arthur Bragg, awarded the hon- ors of the debate to the negative d side, "We're for the cats." e Mr. H. R. Pearce spoke on "What te y' read in 1928." Mrs. H. Hurlbert contributed a solo and Miss Florence Ashton. a reading, both of which %vere beartily encored. Mr. Arthur Bragg and Mr. Arthur 0. Parker, two Athurs, tbe league delegates who attended the Winter Scbool at Cobourg, engaged the young people and a number of visi- tors in some new group games and stunts, the first, a flag and bottle contest, the most particular part of which was placing the staffs of the fiags la the necks of the bottles; second a toy balloon blowing con- test, blowing tilI the balloons burst, and third, a bottle and nipple compet- ition among four of the young mca: Howard Pearce, John Ashton, Char- lie Glenney and Lawrence Cryder- man, who emptied their bottles of water in the manner of infants ia the ordpr named. Did the others laugh? and did they aIl enjoy it?- well we guess. The four groupe were labeled witb paper bands around their heads, bearing in large lettering their ditinguishing titles: City Guys, Hay Seeds, Bone Heads, and Candy Kids. The Candy Kids captainod by Mr. Han-y Jose made the highest marks in the three con- tests and were presented with a box of chocolates. Next Monday evening Mr. Arthur Bragg and Mr. A. 0. Parker will present their reports of the Winter School and doubtless introduce some more new forme of indoor recrea- tions. EDITOR A GUEST AT BANQUET GIVEN DURANT-STAR DEALERS (Continued from first page) aIl the six-cylindered cars are Dur- ants. This disclosos a new policy1 on the part of the Durant Motors and; also brings back the Durant namei whicb bas been missing from the newj model list for a couple of years. The new cars are classed as "5" "65s" and "75s" without definite ne-1 ference ta speeds. In the Star line there are four modela: Sedan, Coach, Coupe and Sports Phaeton, or Touring. The1 Durant lino starts at tbe top with a1 beautiful "75" four-door sedan, and1 there are seven others ruaning down: the list. The "75s" are a sedani and a coupe, the "65s" sedan, coupe,i cabriolet and 11town brougham" if1 that name is finally decided upon.i The 1155s" are a sedan and a coupe. The outstandiag change ;n the wbole appearance is given by the adoption of a very wide, full-crowned fenders and an entirely new cowl1 and hood design. AIl linos are1 equipped with foun-wheeb brakes. ç The "175" sedan le done in desert1 sand and pyramid gray colars. i The whole ine shows a new and% clever device for tbe adjustment ofE the windsbield.1 In the 1175"1 four-door secina thes European twia high transmission '1,asf been introduced giving four speeds forward and one in reverse. Thet third and fourth speeds are declared1 to ho absolutely sibent. The "65"t and 1175" linos are outlltted with aa new arrangement of lights contraI.c The conspicuous foature of the in- terior fittings of the cars is the ad- option of two-tone uphostering.f Wheel bases run from 104 1-2 inchesv to 110 1-2 inches.
