W. Crozier Dies at Guelph 'There died at Guelph on Thursday, August 16th, 1940, a citizen of Port _ Perry who was intimately associated with this community for many years. Jno. 'W.

Then for a time he worked in the Standard Office for Mr, Mundy, and remembered his 'appren- ticeship with considerable pleasure. Later he entered law, school and re- ceived his gown and license to practice law. At this time he returned to the - farm, combining the two businesses. He specialized in hog raising and was © very successful in this line, The fam- a iliy moved to Port Perry in 1931." Mr. Crozier took a very keen inter est in sports, patticularly baseball and hockey. He could be counted an to attend every important game, often travelling miles to see the sport. He will be missed in these circles a great deal, Mr, Crozier 'married Miss Annie Harrison, who died in 1938, Two children were born to them--Jean and Elizabeth (Bessie).

Each country will be repre- 'sented by four or five men, most of them from the services, 2--This joint board is to "com- mence immediate studies relating to sea, land and air problems, including personnel and material. "3--Its scope is so wide that it "will consider in the broad sense the de- fense of the north half of the Western Hemisphere," > There were only 109 words to this statement that established the closest _ bond yet set up between the two great democracies in North America.

There is no international precedent for the organiation that was agreed upon Aoday. Never before have two countries, not joined together by a mutual alliance, set up a permanent board to study defense problems.
