FlaE &iised in Eritrea PONTYPOOL A few short weeks ago we ne- parted the death ai Mrs. Robt. Payne. It hs now aur sad duty ta record the death of ber husband, Mr. Rabt. Payne. As fan as we know the late Mr. Payne spent bis entire life in Manvers Tawnship. He operated bis awn farm about ane and a bal miles east ai Pan- typool Vill age; was an banest, in- dustriaus, home-loving persan. In politics he was a staunch Canser- vative, member af the United Churcb, a iearless Orangeman. He had a Victorian type ai caur- tesy and gaad manners that could well be emulated by some af us .younger folks. It was always a pleasure ta be able ta debate the news ai the day witb this well read, unassum- ing man. He had a clean, con- cise way ai marshaling and pres- enting his views that always de- ligbted your scribe. We did flot learn af the late Mr. Payne's death until the day aiter his funeral, sa missed saying goodbye ta aur aid friend. This côlumn aifers the cammunity's sympathies ta the bereaved three daughters and anc son. We hear that, a new station agent has been appointed and should soon be moving in. The former agent, Earl Leggitt, has sent his housçhold eficcts ta Lind- say ta be auctioned off. He is currently boarding with Mr. and Mrs. Lamne Bowins. Ail Earl has ta do now is spend the C.P.R. pension, travel around, live the lufe ai Riiey. Gladys Fisher was hospitalized last week, for an operatian. Haven't heard how she made out.

Before you read these lines, Spring will have officially arriv- cd. Spring is the most dangerous season of the year for men. It is then that the young fellow's thoughts iightly turn ta love. Fîrst thing he knows, he's hooked. Married men should be vcry wary, because this is whén the wife gets a peculiar gleam in her cye, When she asks hubUy, quite guilelessly, the perimeMr ai the various rooms. Then, gets him ta figure out haw much paper and paint is rcquired for the smallest room, points out it wont cost much ta do that little room. Hubby, poar dope, unsuspect- ingly agrees. He cornes home from work one evening ta find enough paint and papcr piled up in the sun room, ta redecorate the entire house. Naturally, he feels sore at being taken for a ride, decides ta give the wife the "cold" trcatment. Now that gag usually work, but, nat when it's Sprîng. A day or so aiter the bawling aut, the missus, looking very hclpless, quite sweetly asks nfricnd husband ta lift anc end of a dresser ta enabie her ta swecp under it. Then she says how strang he is, in fact, that's why she married him, because he was s0 - a - o - a strong. The silly dub swallaws the bait, flexes his imuscles, says he'd be glad ta lift anything around. Before he knaws it, he is near- ly ruptured from lifting evcry picce ai furniture in the house, has stripped paper, scrubbcd, paintcd, waxcd woadwork till he is crosseycd, gat a crick in the neck from working -at* eeilings, housemaid's knee from doing floors, slivers under his nails, risked his preciaus life tcetering on rickcty stcpladders, broke some af the Ten Commandments, got a hump on his back, become' glassy cyed, round shouldered, hollaw chestcd. Spring clcaning is dcfinitcly woman's sphere, it is taa dangeraus for men. Men should neyer allow themselvcs ta be învciglcd into it.

It's a Wonderful Lif e Once upan a time there was a pon soul wbo bougbt hîmsei! a wcckly newspaper. .. and aiter he bought it he was even poaren. As he walkcd dawn the street ane day, a lady came up ta hlm and said, "Wby dan't you ever pnint any persanal news? Your paper isn't as gaad as it was lu the gaod aid days." He walked a lit- tic farther and a mau said to him. 'Your paper wouldn't b. no bad Il you'd put something ln It besidea personal. n,:ws." Then he met another man who said, "I owe you somne money for that stove I advertised in your paper, but I dldn't sen it and 1 don't see why I should pay you." When h. got back to the shop a lady called up and gave him hoIy ned for leaving out her grandmother's maiden name ln a news item she had sent him. Two more people called up and said they hadn't been getting their paper since they moved and, no,1 they hadn't sent out change of address cards. What was a pub- lisher for anyhow? Then a man came in and want- ed 10,000 posters printed but he would nat spend more than $3.50, what kind of a gyp. joint was this? Just as the publisher was get- ting ready to end it ail, h. drop- ped dead af overwork. By and by, a new man bought the newspaper and when the peo- ple read it they sniffed, "Humph, he sure doesn't know how ta put out a newspaper. Too bad the aid fellow had to die. He sure was a goad editor." And the aid editor, wha was en- jaying his first rest in many years over «at the local funeral home in a bower of lhiles, just chuckled and mumbled to himself, "That's a gaod newspaper story-hf folks would believe it." jWomnan's Association Hold Enjoyable St. Patrick's Tea 14 The warmth of Trinity Sunday School raom provided a friendly shelter from the freezing blizzard wbich ragcd :?riday, when the W.A. af Trinity Church sponsored its annual St. Patrick's Tea. Chubby pink replicas of Paddy the pig, shamirocks, Tarra't harp ad many other typically Irish mo- tifs decorated the room attractive- ly. Each table with its tiny Irish figures carried out the theme af the decoratians. Receiving each of the guests were Mrs. L. W. Dippeil and Mrs. Aubrey Smith. A point af special interest was the table which displayed the shamrocks which were received directly from Ireland by Mrs. James Kennedy, an Irish war- bride. Mast af the guests were surprised ta learn that the plant is very different fram the large Canadian variety. The Irish sprigs bore a close resemblance ta the plant which is known to Canadian wamcn as 'baby tears.' Sharing popularity at the tea were the touch-and-take table and the counter ai kitchen articl- es. Pouring tea at the head table were Mrs. H. Foster and Mrs. R. Greeniss. Other members ai the graup assisted in the kitchen and in serving the guests. ]BROWN'S Mr. an dMrs. C. Avery and fam- ilyý visited Mr. and Mrs. T. Wilson, Saturday night.
