THE MIRROR FUNERAL OF JOSEPH BAXTER The funeral of Joseph Baxter, one of Stratford's well known and highly respected citizens was held Saturday afternoon from the Greenwood funeral rooms. For many years the late Mr. Baxter was a despatcher here, and was very popular with his associates. Because of his tolerant and kindly dis- position he made many friends. Fol- lowing his retirement from the rail- road he had a grocery store on Wel- lington street. He and his family re- sided on Grange street, two of whom survive to mourn their loss. They are: Mrs. W. J. McLeod, of Calgary, and Mrs. Effie Moore, widow of Ma- jor Wm. Moore, who paid the supreme sacrifice overseas. Rev. G. Rowland, pastor of Knox Chureh, conducted the services, and gave a very beautiful and thoughtful address, eluciadating the reason for a hope in the life everlasting. The floral tributes were unusually large and included offerings from the C. N. R. offices in London, Toronto and Stratford and from Avon Lodge and Charity Encampment I. O. O. F. The pall-bearers were G. Nornabell, J. Stinson, E. Tretheway, G. Jeffrey, F. Holman, and J. Collinson. The body was laid to rest in Avondale ceme tery. Among those from out of town who attended the funeral were his daughter, Mrs. W. J. McLeod, and Mr. McLeod, of Calgary; Mrs. A. Pelton, Stafford, Ont., Charles Pelton, Dr. Wonder and Mrs. Wonder of Toronto; Mr. and Mrs. H. McDonald of Car- thage; Dr. James Moore and Mrs. Moore, Miss Rhea Moore and Reid Moore of Listowel; George Baxter, Pickering; A. Neil, London; Alfred and Misses Nellie and Beatrice Baxter of St. Pauls; Mr. and Mrs. T. Grigg, of St. Marys; Mr. and Mrs. M. Kerr and Mrs. H. McLeod of Embro. ART AS INSPIRATION OF MUSIC Art is not independent but interde- pendent according to Alberto Salvi the noted harpist, who will play here on Wednesday, November 9th, at St. John's United Church. Thought it is not necessary for a musician to be also a poet or a painter, he can trans- mit into sound the same impulses that motivated these other artists,| | Mr. Salvi believes. ' "My early life in Venice brought me into contact with the grandeur of past centuries, the wonderful art galleries where antique paintings and sculpture could be scen, the dim light filtering through the stained glass windows of old cathedrals and the richness of noble architecture have inspired mé as actively as music itself," says Mr. Salvi. Critics and audiences alike have often commented on the great waves of feeling which Salvi has been able to evoke from his harp, like the rise and swel of ocean waves, and this harpist believes that it was his early association with the arts that develop- ed his range of impressions-and his desire to find new ways of expressing them through his instrument.--G.H.W.
