He went overseas in Octaber of last year. His brother, Willie, who has lived in Bow- manville for a number of years anti worked with Len Elliott, en- listeti in the Midianti Regiment but was later discharged. He is now working in the munitions plant at Ajax. His father, J. A. Irelanti, serveti with the British~ Imperial army in the lest war. British Columbia Lady On First Trip East Addressed Rotary Clubl Members of Bowmanville Ro- tary Club had the unusual but delightful experience of having a lady address their luncheon ini the Balmoral Hotel Friday noan. The speaker was Miss Hilda L. Cryderman of Vernon, B.C., cap- able high school teacher wha il also a talented news commenta- tor for the Vernon News on world affairs. Miss Cryderman is daughter of Mr. William Cry- derman of Vernon, native of Hampton, who this summer vis- ited his native county and was guest of - his brother, Mr. Frank Cryderman, Bowmanville, and numerous other relatives in this district. Miss Cryderman stated that this was her first trip east of Saskatchewan and she wished she had came much sooner. While the east helti great attractions for the traveller in the easy mode of transportation and scenery, she was homesick for the mountains. Beginning with the histary of the east and west Miss Cryderman showed bow the east had a head start and progressed more rapiti- ly, rather ignaring the develop- ment of the outlying western pro- vinces. When British Columbia consid- ered annexation ta Unitedi States, Eastern Canada suddenly became very aware of the danger of no access to the Pacific and took B.C. inta Confederation. The fur trade with the Hudson Bay Company was for same time the main occu- pation of the settlers, but with the Canadian Pacific Railway hund- reds of little industries sprang up in the Pacifiecocast province. In describing British Columbia Miss Cryderman gave a clear pic- ture of the purple mountaîns sur- roundeti by blue water anti sky. Outlining the difficulties in trans- portation she tolti of a trip of about ninety miles from Pentic- ton ta Trail- which here is con- sidereti a short run but there re- cuired camplicateti procedure. Because of the mugged country araund Vernon, armaureti di- visions are being traineti in Com- mando tactics. Although Vernon rias an altitude the same as Tim- rnins it is strange ta note that the 2limate of Vernon is mucb mare pleasing than that of the northemn Ontario town. Making reference ta the east Mliss Crytiemman exemplifieti how the west is the Debtor anti the east the Creditor. She also de- scibed the economic descrirnina- tion of the two sections. In the restaration of China the speaker believeti British Columbia would play an important part. In mentioning the agricultural' resources she tolti of a new fruit, the Zukamelon, which is being useti extensively in the manufac- ture of candied fruit. In natural resources B.C. stands high. In clasing Miss Cryderman de- clamed that in Canada the forces of disunity were greater than the forces of unity. If the people woulti follow their leaders rather han criticize, many of the prob- ems of aur country wauld be olveti. Miss Cryderman was accomp- anieti an hem trip east by Miss Isabel A. W. Jermyn, also of Ver- non, who favometi the audience vith twa delightful vocal salas, Bird Sang anti Eventide" anti Can't Remember." At the close f hem atidress, by special mequest, Miss Crytierman also sang in a lvely contralto voice, "My Olti Horne Town." Mms. Reta Dudley was accampanist for bath singers.

Pre- viously they had been in pounds, shillings and pence. Following the story of W. G. King, Rev. John Smith, W. T. Boate, James Rollo and M. J. Kelly as heads of the new school, Mr. A. E.
