O'BEIRNE The death on Sunday, January 31, *of Mrs. W. M. O'Beirne, 5 Elizabeth street, was deeply regretted by all who knew the deceased. Her life was filled with deeds of kindness always unostentatiously rendered, and the de- parted woman possessed a mind that responded to everything that is beau- tiful. Fifty-three years ago she was mar- ried to William Mark O'Beirne, a bril- fiant and outstanding newspaper man, at one time president of the Canadian Press Association, and for years pub- lisher and owner of The Stratford Beacon. Following his death their son, Kingsley O'Beirne, succeeded his father in publishing The Beacon. : Nearly every progressive movement in the city had the support of the O'Beirne family. Mrs. O'Beirne was devoted to her home and family, and a faithful member of St. James' An- glican church. Surviving are two daughters, Miss Gladys O'Beirne, Toronto; Mrs. K. H. Crane, 5 Elizabeth street; and three sons, Kingsley W. O'Beirne, of the staff of the Edmonton Journal; Fred O'Beirne of Indian Head, Sask., and William S. O'Beirne of the staff of the Calgary Herald.

DaCHARME Phone 941 113 Ontario St, Rail Information Staff Furnishes Many Answers Many travellers, many questions; that is the daily situation at Bona- venture Station of the Canadian Na- tional Railways in Montreal. Two in- formation booths well staffed by men who have all the answers, are some- times insufficient to cope with the spate of enquiries voiced during a busy day. These targets of interroga- tion frequenily receive help from the booth operated by the Travellers' Aid which absorbs quite a lot of question shock. One of the uniformed. helpers related that during a recent rush an Australian airman came to the booth and asked: "How long will it be be- fore I get to Montreal." The worker recovered and answered and the air- man explained that he had _ passed through so many cities in his journey across Canada that he really did not know his present location.
