I arn sure if Dave Morrison were alive he wouid recail the incident and also data that I have either forgotten or was neyer aware of. Maybe Avery Johnston or Frank Pethick would remem- ber sonething about this event. Accordmng to my rnemory it oc- eurred in 1880 or 81. A belated traveller was making his weary waY horneward ta Bawmanviile, it was the bewitching haur of Midnight when the spirits of the dead in the Churchyard delight ta visit the scenes of their earthly activities. An enarmous harvest Moon was fiaading the iandscape with a paie imitation of sunlight. As the traveller reached the Vicinity of Maple Grave he gianc- ed over a fence inta an archard, between the rows of whose trees the thrifty fariner had pianted wheat, and it was then he e- ceived a shock which sent chiils along thp narraw 0f his spine, for, standing in the waisthigh golden grain was the figure of a man in white making the mations of swinging a scythe or cradie. One 1oak at the apparition was ail he needed and his feet, which had seemed to be leaden blocks, became twin balloons desiring to soar into the stratosphere. It is not recorded how nany jumps it taak him ta land in town but nexi day, sucli was the sincerity, if nat the eloquence, of his recital as he taured the tawn fram bar- room ta barbershop, buttonholing iisteners ta his stary of the spoalk harvester, that several with a superstitious leaning suggested accompanying hin to the haunted orchard to see if they to ight be fortunate enough ta witness the wraith reaper in the moan- light. Accordingly a iaad was made up and they drove ta the scene af the manifestation, and believe il or nat, the accamnodating ghosl appeared in his garment of white and swinging his scythe advanced down the avenue of trees cutting a swath such as no hired man was ever guilty of and it was the unanimous opinion of the coterie of investigators that the appari- tion must be the ghast of a former awner who had gone down ta his Higlier Food 4Value Enjoy a vitamin emriched bread, from its tender crust al the way through its fine even texture.

On Navember 10, 1917, with the issue of the war graveiy in doubt, Arthur Balfour, British Foreign Secretary, issued the Balfour Deciaration, the tenet af which was ta create and guarantee a national home for Jewish people. Its teris annaunced that His Nfajesty's Government viewed with favor this national home as a beacon of hope for a minarity people.

The Balfour Declaration was reaffirmed by Lloyd George in 1937 a n d steadfastly Winston Churchill sought ta affirm the rightness of British palicy in pro- tection of the Jews in Palestine. The U.S.A. with aloof idealism gave lip service while freely criticai of Britain. The resultant was a modification of paiicy which decreed that after five years no further immigration of Jews ta the homeiand wouid be permitted without sanction of the Arab population.
