Although in failing health for the past five years, he was seriously ill for only The deceased, who was fifty-five years old, was born in Percy Township, the son of Mr. Robert Dawson and the late Mrs. Dawson. For the past thirty years he has been a resident of 3rd concession in Murray Township. He was a successful farmer and market gardener; a member of Carmen United Church. Surviving to mourn his passing are his wife, the former Margaret Ann Hopkins, two daughters, Mrs. William Coultman. (Myrtle), Murray Twp., Mrs. Carman Jones (Doris), of Belleville; and six grandchildren. He was predeceased by one son, Leo, 12 years ago. Also> surviving are his father, Mr. Robert Dawson of Colborne, six sisters and two brothers, Mrs. Frank Haynes (Jane), Colborne, Mrs. Bart Blake (Marie), Oshawa, Mrs. Joseph Dixon (Keitha), Brighton, Mrs. Neil Thompson (Vernal, Mrs. Joseph Summers (Freda), both of Warkworth, Miss Aureen Dawson of Oshawa, Messrs. Russel and Clarence Dawson of Oshawa. The funeral which was largely attended, was held from his late residence to Carman United Church on Sunday, October 31st, 1948, at 2.30 p.m., cunducted by Rev. J. D. Martin of Trenton. Interment was in Stone Cemetery near Norham. The pallbearers were: Messrs. Geo. Adams, Hedley Ireland, Escott Minaker, William Meron, Wilhert Morgan and Arthur Morgan. SAFETY FIRST Here's a safety tip when putting furnace or stove pipes in position. After fitting the lengths securely together, take a piece of white chalk and make a circle around the place where the slightly expanded ends of each length fit over the previous section. If the lengths of pipe start pulling away from each other, the chalk mark will show this move- If this small safety tip is adopted, a casual glance at the pipes at any time will show whether the sections are parting company, or whether all is "safe and sure." There is danger in poorly fitting stove or furnace pipes. Escaping coal gas is probable; a disastrous fire may even be in the making. Save all your waste paper! UEFB MOBILIZES TO GIVE BRITAIN STRENGTH ... IN COLD WAR TO WIN THE PEACE HAROLD QUINN HOME FROM LAGOS Tells of Holiday Enjoyed by Himself and Mrs. Quinn in New York City and Montreal (Held over from previous issue) Mrs. Quinn and I arrived at Colborne latter part of last week, after a holiday of two weeks in New York City and one week in Montreal. Left Logos, Nigeria, August 23rd. and travelled to Takoradi in the Gold Coast Colony in the S. S. African Grove of New York. Transferred to the S. S. Cochrane of Liverpool Takoradi and worked passage from there to Norfolk, Virginia, stopping only at Freetown and Dakar en route. Passed about four miles south of Bermuda and saw this beautiful island and many of its buildings quite plainly from that distance. Managed to get into Norfolk a few hous ahead of hurricane coming up the east coast from Florida. Travelled to New York on Greyhound Bus overnight and was fortunate enough to obtain hotel accommodation in Times Square, right in the heart of the entertainment section of the city. Was joined there by Mrs. Quinn and had a most enjoyable holiday and a surfieit of the bright lights. Went to Manhattan Island first to familiarize ourselves as much as possible with the geography of our surroundings. Started on the west side of the island and went down the Hudson River into New York Bay, then up the East River and Harlem Rivers past Brooklyn, Harlem and the Bronx, and into the Hudson River again. Then down the Hudson beneath the magnificent George Washington bridge and so back to the starting point at the west end of 42nd Street. This sightseeing cruise is an excellent way to see and learn about many of the sights of the city and is highly recommended for any visitor there. Tickets for this circle cruise can be obtained in the basement of the R.C. A. building in Rockefeller Centre. Also went on bus tours of the more interesting parts of Manhattan Island and saw many interesting sights at close range. Visited a Chinese temple and other parts of Chinatown. Also Harlem, Wall Street, Radio City, Columbia and New York Universities, Central Park, Times Square, Hayden Planetarium, American Museum of Natural History and numerous others. Saw four of the best Broadway shows as follows : High Button Shoes, Annie Get Your Gun, A Street Car Named Desire, and Inside U. S. A. Although Ethed Merman singing the many Irving Berlin hit songs in "Annie Get Your Gun" is undoubtedly excellent, we enjoyed most the freshness and vivacity of Beatrice Lillie and Jack Haley in "Inside U.S.A." Also saw Gene Autrey and his famous performing horse in a World Champion Rodeo at Madison Square Garden. Visited the observation tower of the world's tallest building, the Empire State Building, 1250 feet high, and had a good bird's eye view of the city. Were intrigued there by the (Continued next week) I--REASON FOR -- UEFB By centralizing buying and transportation, including delivery at destination, substantial savings can b« effected. The scattered efforts of many can be channelled into an efficient single stream of relief, without a loss of individuality as persons, groups or MORE AID PER DOLLAR For example: the cost of placing a ready packaged 10 lb. parcel in the hands of a recipient in Britain, exclusive of content purchase price, is approximately $2.30 at present, whereas through UEFB concessions the comparable cost would be 57c to 79c. This economy does not include the very substantial saving which bulk purchasing effects. The gallant people of Britain are suffering today because they are determined to win the cold war. They are the only nation in Europe fighting with body and mind to vanquish the spectre that haunts the Old World. Their health is being weakened, their efficiency impaired, by the tremendous restrictions they have imposed upon themselves. They stand in danger of being defeated by undernourishment. Why? Because Britain imports four-fifths less goods than before the war, yet exports more than half as much again as in 1939. Says the British Ministry of Food: UEFB offers the best means of making your aid to Britain effective now. UEFB is a voluntary organization set up to collect, forward and distribute aid to the undernourished people of Britain. UEFB purchases supplies in bulk. The British Government supplies free transportation. The UEFB British Advisory Council assures that your dollars will buy what is most needed for those who need it the most. Although UEFB cannot at present handle used clothing, arrangements are being made to do so early next year. ". . . we are living on marginal nutritional standards, and there is cause for anxiety lest this should he having advene effects on physique and health . . . Everything you can send us is wanted and urgently wanted." If the British people go under, YOU and all of us, will feel the effects. We need a strong Britain to help fight the cold war.
