Ernest Sulman The domi of Port Perry has suffered a severe shock and a very definite loss in the passing away on Friday, January 18, of George Ernest Sulman; Born in England in 1900, he came to Canada in° 1923 where he settled in Lake of Bays district, engaging in electrical work and later going into partnership in a boat livery and out- board motor service.

In 1934 following the sudden death of his wife, he decided to move to Cannington with his infant son Peter, ents, In 1946 he accepted a position with the Corporation of Port Perry, and some seven years ago, he took charge of the H.E.P.C.

He was responsible for the Srgan- ization of the first Cannington Boy Scout Troop, and on arrival in Port Perry, he immediately offered his ser- vices to the Port Perry Boy Scouts As- sociation, and continued to keep an active interest in all' Boy Scout work. After the last war, when interest was revived in the Port Perry Yacht Club and a new building contemplated, he was one of the most enthusiastic workers. Always a keen boating en- thusiast, he held various important offices and at the time of his death was Fleet Captain of Sail. ~The Film Council of Canada was an- other hobby in which he was keenly interested, and was instrumental in developing sufficient interest in this district to warrant membership in the Film Council. 2 ' The funeral service was held at the Church of the Ascension on Monday afternoon, January 16th, where his many friends and associates gathered to pay tribute. The Rector, Rev. Mr. Scott, paid special tribute to the de- ceased as a loyal and devoted worker and one who freely gavé considerably more than his share with no thought of recompense, Interment was at Cedarvale Ceme- tery, Cannington, and the pallbearers were Messis.
