Woods, on Sunday, July 17th, 1938, a son--Robert Dennis, OBITUARY There passed away, suddenly, on Thursday evening, June 23rd, 1938, in Port Perry, Mary Lavina Wallis, wife of Roy St. John, Chief Constable. Although in poor health for a num- ber of years, her death came as a great shock to her many relatives and friends. The deceased was born in Mariposa near Little Britafn, in '1882, the only child of Thomas Henry Wallis and Katie McCalder and lived most of her life on the farm, acquired by her grandfather, Neil McCalder, who mi- grated to America from Scotland over one hundred years ago. In 1907 she married Roy St. John of Brock Township, taking up resi- dence there for a time; later returning to the home farm, » About eight years ago, owing to ill health, they rented the farm and moved to Port Perry, where she made many warm friends, who sincerely mourn her passing. Besides her sorrowing husband, she leaves to mourn her loss, one first- cousin, Mrs, F. G. Perrin, and other relatives, and a host of friends. The funeral service was held from her old home church at Little Britain, on Saturday, June 25th, at 2.30 p.m., and was largely attended. Rev. W. J. H. Smyth, Port Perry, her pastor, officiated, assisted by Rev. H. H. Hillis, Little Britain, and Rev. J. U. Robins, Trenton, a former pastor and friend. The many beautiful floral tributes, silent tokens of respect, were carried by a number of Port Perry friends. Interment was niade in the adjoin- ing cemetery.

A timely warning was given them to be more careful in the future, or he would make a further check up on them. 4 Final arrangements were made on Sunday to hold the Sunday School picnic at Lynbrook Park West of Brooklin, on Saturday of this week. Trucks and cars will leave the church at noon. Come and bring your basket and enjoy the afternoon's outing. The July meeting of the Woman's Missionary Society was held at the parsonage on Thursday afternoon and although the early afternoon was stormy a good attendance was pre- sent.

Although we may not remember all we hear in an address like this, it gives us an inter- est in the subject. In future reading we are sure to notice facts bearing on the subject. We are sorry to report the death of Miss Martha McKee, who passed away at the home of her nephew Mr. Alvin Bruce, on July 16th.

Interment took place in the Uxbridge Cemetery. The following verses appear in a daily paper appealed to the writer and we wish to pass them on: YOUR JOB The Lord had a job for me, but I had to much to do. I said, "You get somebody else or wait till I get through." I don't know how the Lord came out, but He seemed to get along; But I felt kind of sneakin' like 'cause I know'd I done Him wrong. . Moase spent several days in Toronto | ticular praise is due to Mr. Bernard Him myself, needed Him right away, An He never answered me at all, but I could hear Him say-- Down in my arcusin heart--nigger; I'se got too much to do: You get somebody else--or wait till I get through." Now when the Lord, He have a job for me I never try to shirk; I drops what I have on hand and does the Good Lord's work, : And my affairs can run along or wait till I get through, H Nobody else can do the job that God marked out for you. --Paul Lawrence Dunbar. The Tennis Club After much hard labor, and the ex- penditure of time and money, the ten- nis club has reached its objective, and now has two excellent courts, This improvement has cost considerable money, and if any person should feel the promptings to be generous, and help the young folk out a bit, the offer | would be accepted with thanks, Par- Koch for his perseverance and hard labor in producing the courts. Tourist Accommodation Mr, Jas. McKee and his daughters have set a good example in the matter of providing tourist accommodation. They have fitted 'up their naturally attractive home on Queen St, and set out a pleasing sign arfnouncing the fact that tourist accommodation can be secured at their home. They have also erected a neat booth on the lawn in the front of the premises-- the kind of booth that invites trade. iW () I é Ly -- -- THEATRE Pa OSHAWA -- Now Playlng -- ; Friday and Saturday "Tropic Holiday" starring Dorothy Lamore REVIVAL--10.45 "TOPPER" Constance Bennett, Carry Grant "JOSETTE" : 000 Wed. -Thurs.--27th and 28th Big Double Bill: "YOU and ME" with with We wish them well in their new ven- ture, and hope that others will follow their example.
