BLACKSTOCK (Obituary copied from the "Melfort Moon.) Angus McLean, well known old timer of the Pathlow district and a pioneer resident of Melfort, passed away on Sunday, Nov. 15, aged 75 years, following a series of heart attacks over a period of years. De- ceased was born in Blackstock, Ont.| As a young man he migrated west in 1897 and located at Brandon, Man. where he resided for a year, then to Douglas, Man., where he lived for the next four years. In 1902 he moved to Melfort district, locating on the present farmstead a few miles north east of Pathlow. He was married in 1882 to Mary Ellen' Cameron, Prior to caming to Melfort and for a nun- ber ofiyear. following, he followed the trade of blacksmith. His farming operations were also successful and he developed one of the best farms in the district, specializing in pure bred Clydesdale horses and Shorthorn cat- tle, He is survived by his wife, one daughter Effie, and sons Roy, Lorne and Cameron. Three sisters in the East also sprvive. The funeral was held from Melfort United" Chiirch and largely attended. Many beautiful floral offerings testi- fied to the love and esteem in which | the deceased was held i our at a miscellaneous shower, held in the community hall on Friday even- ing of last week. Mr. Geo. Crawford was raster of ceremonies, and after the following program, made the pre- sentation on behalf of those present: a reading by Mrs, E. Dorrell, violin solos by Mr. G. Owen, of Port Perry and a vocal solo by Mr. Geo. Saddler. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing and a social time at the close of which lunch was served. "The Y.

Nowadays there is such a constant supply of new books that none can hope to do more than read a few of the more notable productions or those that suit our particular fancy or need. Fiction «Most of the books (if we are judge by the shelves of public libraries) are books of fiction. - They may be rough- ly divided into four main classes-- mystery, romance, life study, and descriptive stories. Mystery Books Detective stories are very popular. They all seem to be based upon the ! idea that you continue to believe that gallons of gas and one of Pogue's each character in the book is guilty of the crime and that in the end you learn some most unheard of solution that should have been apparent to any intelligent person from the outset. There are many writers of these stories. One of the most pleasing is Earl Derr Biggers, His "Charlie Chan" books have a happy setting. Of course there has to be a murder or a crime of some sort; but there is nothing gruesome about the affair-- it is merely introduced as a sort of necessary scenery in order - that Charlie may most innocéntly solve the mystery. Any "Charlie Chan" story will retain your interest, unless you are one of thosé serious minded|' persons who consider such stories "silly", and-their reading a waste of time. One thing can be said in their favour at least--they divert the mind from petty troubles and thoroughly entertain the readers. If you are anxious to enjoy (?) the thrill of having your hair stand up and prickles run up your spine, S. S. Van Dine and Sax Robmer can pro- vide you with all the gory and grue some details, Frank L. Packard in his "Jimmy Dale" stories makes the burglar too much of a hero for ordinary consump- tion. One is apt to get a false idea of values if the mind is not well bal- anced. However, Packard is very popular, E. Phillips Oppenheim is perhaps one of the best writers of detective stories, There is enough of the un- usual to fire any imagination, and plenty of information which the mind unconsciously stores for further use. Of course, no outline of detective lit- erature would be complete that did not mention Conan Doyle.

Like Crom- well, who insisted that his picture in- clude the wart on his face, life's crudi- ties and meannesses are revealed but only as a foil for the sturdy virtues and loving deeds of a real people. This column is growing too long, so it may 'well bt concluded, with men- the father of this kind of story; 'bubltion of some more of Lincoln's books he did a great deal to popularize it. Sherlock Holmes and Watson are characters that must be known by anybody that pretends to have ac- quaintance with semi-modern fiction, The most fascinating story of this type is "The Gold Bug" by Edgar Allen Poe. It was written early in the nineteenth century; but has never lost its interest. Any time you would like to forget your worries read "The Gold Bug." Modern science has greatly extend- ed the range of possibility in erime and its detection, For instance what a flight of imagination could be taken by any person possessing half a dozen new carbureters. Throw in a photo- electric cell, and some highly scientific blood analysis and endless possibilities reveal themselves, Romance Of romance there is no end. on life's biological foundation, it re veals itself in a hundred million ways --from cave man behaviour to. the ir- resistible urge experienced by the highly educated philosopher of 1936. And apparently they have all written books descriptive of these experiences. All one has to do in order to enjoy himself "is to plunge in and discover the type of romance best suited to his own particular outlook in this- im- portant matter. Of course it takes time, and you are likely to run across books that will Tot please you--you never felt that way about your ro- mance, Just now the Royal romance has literaly stopped other news on the radio. Jeffery Phot 1 is one of the gayest of the romancers. His characters are always in a state of "High Ad- venture" and his hero is always an "Amateur Gentleman'--certainly not a professional one. Said hero is like a refreshing breeze that sweeps through the book, blowing away meanness and crime, and suffering oc- casional bruises that soon heal, for in all of Farnol's books those that should "live happy ever after." Of entirely different type is the "Dop Doctor" by Richard Dehan. If you like to take your pleasures sadly, this book will provide you with nearly seven hundred pages of continued misery. Likely enough all true ac- cording to the life of that day, but not very. cheering. Richard Dehan (a woman, I believe) is what is known as a realist... The kind of writer who calls a spade a spade, and then points out that the last time you used it, you didn't clean the mud from it, and now it's all rusty. One is inclined to think that there are too many reailsts in the world, and that the picturing. of sin and] misery has been a bit overdone. It is just as easy and fair to describe decency and life as we take it for. granted, and as most of us have en- Joyed it so far, as it is to earn the biting criticism that Ghandi expressed when he spoke of "Mother India" as "the drain inspector's report." For a wholesome clear eyed view of life Joseph C. Lincoln is very much to be commended. One of his best is. "Thankful"s Inheritance", But they are all good, The people of East \ Based --"Cape Cod Stories", "All Along- shore", "Cap'n Eri", "Captain War- ren's Wards", haug", "The Rise of Roscoe Paine", "Partners of the Tide", "Mr. Pratt", and "Mr. Pratt's Patients". Any of them are 'enjoyable reading. MANCHESTER Miss Walsh, Tottenham, spent the week end with her sister Mrs. I. Vernon, Mrs. Schraedder of Detroit has Shah visiting with Mr. and Mrs, B. Olliffe.
