try, '5:t'iiai __ 'de" L i 'ii,irii li, A letter was later received from "the Major of the 24th Squadron in France, saying that Lt. McEtae's aero- plane went to pieces in the air under 5 aitrain during an evolution at height of 3000 or 4000 feet, and that he was instantly killed. Flight Lieut. Ronald Gwynd Montague McRae, R.F.C., of Squadron AM, was killed in action in France on January 28, 1918. The young officer was the 'second son of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. McRae, Weston, and his untimely .death is sincerely mourned by a large number of friends. His parents re- _ceived a cablegram from the secre- 1tary of the war office, London, Eng- land, saying that Flight-Lt. R.G.M. .McRae, R.F.C., 24th Squadron, was killed in action January 28, and ex- tended sympathy of the Army Coun- -cil. Fair hair, pink cheeks, bright blue- grey eyes, And a, Winning smite had he; ' manly, stalwart, hahdsome boy, Who was past twenty-three. He left the seats ot learning, Where his talents brightly shone, But he hoped to return to Osgoode, After the war was done. He enlisted with the 2-()-8th, A gallant lot were they, And he soon became attached to them In true fraternal way. The Major also said his death was .2. great blow to all in his squadron, as his cheery smile, personality and exceedingly good record would long be remembered by all the officers and men of his squadron with whom he was a great favorite, and that he would be buried with full military honors. He was a faithful member and com-. municant of St. Phillip's Church (An- glican) near Weston, when on his last leave, he will long be remembered by many ot the congregation as kneel- ing at the communion rail partak- ing of the holy communion before go- ing overseas. Among the very many expressions ot sympathy deeply ap- preciated by the sorrowing family was a resolution of condolence from the mayor and council of Weston. O'er tpe sea, in shell-torn Flanders, Gwynnyd McRae, a Weston aviator, lies, But his pure, brave soul soared heav- enward, Triumphant through the skies. But man were sorely needed, For the Royal Flying Corps, So to help his country win" He Joined them to do more. Flight Lt. McRae was in his third years at law before. enlisting and join- ed the 208th Battalion, in which he .soon became sergeant, and immediate.. ly afterwards, on passing the neces- sary examinations, was transferred to the Royal Flying Corps, and after becoming a flight lieutenant, went overseas September 29, 1917. He com- pleted a course in scout machine work at the Central Flying School, Elpavon, Wilts, England, and then went to Turnburg, Scotland, tor a course in aerial gunnery, After being there a short time he proceeded to France, where he met his tragic fate on Jan- uary 28 last. Flight-Lt. McRae was in his 23rd year and ‘ gave promise of a brilliant career. Lines on the death of Flight Lieut. Ronald Gwynnyd Montague McRae, R.F.C., 24th Squadron, B.E.F., France, by his mother. When autumn winds were sighing, He bade his loved ones adieu, And o'er the vast ocean going, To his duty he was true. The flag ot his home town was at half mast for several days, announc- ing to. sorrowing friends that one more ‘soldier had passed to higher service in the Better Land. He was quite popular in his home town and neighboring vicinities, and his death was feelingly referred to in seven churches. The strong guiding hand of the rector will be missed very greatly. Yet his teaching and ideals will mean only added strength and stability to the vicar’s work. The new life and energy will add materially to the solid foun- dation already laid. The church's strength is not its finances, though they are important, nor its numbers, though they do materially assist-it is its commuhicants that count. The rector will not just pass away. He will be an active figure, it is to be hoped, in the church and civic life. His ability is meeded in both places. a WESTON AVIATOR His work He Weston has "llllllllllMMllllllllMllllMl1lllSllllLllll.llLq1lllll) shown the results of hard _ ("W .1 f -P"e and consistent efforts. The rector's first thought has always been to build = church laid on the true foundation as taught by the apostles. His efforts have been crowned with great success-that one can see. On Easter Day, 1903, there were 38 communicants and on Easter Day, 1917, there were 116. On Christmas of 1903 there were 19 and in 1917 there were 75. During his term of office there were 207 and 152 prepared for confirmation. In 1903 there was a debt of $1500 on the church. This has been paid and some $1800 has been'spent in other improvements. All this money has been paid. The rector hands over a church free from debt. Thus you can judge that the 'Work has been quietly but very effectively accomplished. The rector's ill- health during the past few months has been the cause of his retirement. While he will not be actively engaged in the work of the parish, he as rector will still be in close touch with the work and is still the rector of the parish. . In April the- rector will have completed his 15th year 'oLactive work in this parish. T‘The’ rector is u graduate of St. David's College, Lambert, Where he took his L.Th. in '1889. Ordained to the Dia- -conate by the late Bishop 3er in the Pro-Cathedral, Liverpool, in 1889, and Ji- ~censed in the See city. In 1391 came to the diocese of Toronto, and was for some time curate of St. Luke's Church, Peterboro, .and after that a missionary in the diocese. In 1902 graduated (B.A.) with second class honors in Mental and Moral Philosophy from Trinity University. To- ronto, and took the degree of M.A. in 1903. In 1893 appointed rector of Trinity Church, Streets- ville. In April, 1903, appointed rector of St. John’s, Weston. In 1892 was ordained to the priesthood by the late Archbishop Sweatman, Ir. St. Alban's Cathedral, Toronto. RETIRES FROM ACTIVE WORK On Friday, March 15th, “the,Rev. J. Hughes-Jones, 1.31311.) B.A., M.A., will hand lover the parish of St. John's Church, Weston, to the Rev. Dr. Archbold, D.D., as vicar in charge. _ In Memoriam KILLED IN ACTION With military honors the Royal Fly- ing Corps _ ‘Laid our brave Canadian to rest, And marked his grave with a wooden cross, To show friends who loved him best. He was a skilled young airman, Trained well in all the art Of 'andiing any air-craft, Quite well he knew his part. Far away in saddened Weston, The flag at half-mast hung, For the gallant boy who had done his best, In hope ot. final victory won. The Mayor and Council sitting, Their deep sympathy expressed By a resolution of condolence But lol the wires, weakened, snapped, And hurling down he came. Oh God! In what a plight to be! HOW fearful was the scene! In dear old se. Phillip's Church The sorrowing people prayed That God would help the mourners And keep them undismayed. But duty's call he heeded e'er, His comrades true he left, w, Scared up from Squadron twenty-four So soon to be ‘bereft. The armies watched with 'bated breath, The daring birdman rise, As "Per ardua ad astra," He climbed up in the skies." Then various evolutions, He performed with wondrous skill Before the applauding armies That showed their great good-will. While soaring many thousand feet, High up above the camp, He dipped and dived, then lowered fast, Far in the chilling damp. The loving Rector tenderly Said the young Flight Lieutenant there Had knelt at Holy Communion On last leave, bowed in prayer. Kind friends tried to cheer the mourn- ers, ’ In their hour of deepest woe, Their true syrnfathy was offered, It was all that they could do. Now We leave our hero sleeping, Far away in Sunny France, Praying God we all may meet him In that land ot Heavenly chants. No more for him the buzzing 'plane, The eager crowds below, In vain his comrades long for him Who had so soon to go. He wrote brightly to his sisters, Of the time he would return, And bade them cpmfort mother, As his loving heart did yearn. To his brothers and his father, Such kind earnest letters penned, They little thought they were the last That ever he would send. And.then one dreadful morning A sad cablegram arrived, Telling of the tragic fate Then writing home to his mother, He told of rows of graves in France, And of the desolated country He found France fighting bravely, To keep the Huns at bay, And he longed to help the country In an aviator’s way. He made many friends in England, And in bonnie Scotia too, But his heart was in his homeland, Which he never more might view. He took gunnery in England, And in Scotland too as well, - Then across the channel to France, Where his tragic fate befall.

Not a knot is loose or missing, Clean, well groomed, with cheeks aglow; Polished boots, kit all in order, Spick and span from head to toe, Proudly stands he at attention, Clear of eye and full of vim; To his home and troop a credit, For he's ever neat and trim, And-who knows? you may have met him, Maybe know this Iaddie, too, Now-this smart young scout, I won- der-. _ Is it you? There's another" scout I wot of, Who belongs to that same troop; Comes on duty late, not early, Turns up last of all the group; Laces loose, tags out, 1cmpes dirty, Nails untrin1med.face not o'er clean; Kit awry, and hat undented, Unfit always to be seen; Not an ounce of pride about him, Things thrown on just anyhow; C If you asked this lazy bounder, "Hadn't time" would be his vow. He’s a slacker and a sloven,. And his motto, "It'11 do." Now, this most unscoutlike laddie- rs it you? Oh, the first wee chap's a worker, Bright and willing, cheerful too; Though he's been a scout but twelve months, .- Badges has he riot a"few. With a smile you’ll find him ready Whatsoever task is set, And the A. S.

A gentleman is hot necessarily a rich man, who wears fine clothes, but a , man who is well behaved, brave and alrous and kind to others. So he 1 thought that the saying, "Once a scout I always a scout" meant in other words I "A scout was a gentleman, and once a gentleman ALWAYS a gentleman." As for inflammable flannelette, the Red-Cross Society wishes to again warn its Workers against using flan- nelette for Red Cross garments unless it has first been well tested, and found to be perfectly safe. A large sample should be tried with a lighted match before any of the material is made up. In our issue for last April we told the story of one of our soldiers in hospital, who dropped a spark trom his cigarette on his dressing gown, and was immediately wrapped in flames. That such an incident has once happened shows how necessary it is to avoid the use of such danger- ous material. Sometimes washing re- moves the danger.

What the Duke of Connaught Expects of Scouts His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, who is president of the Boy Scouts, in a speech spoke very much ot the good work done by the Scouts in Canada, but also he said how pleased he was With the good work which scouts had done every- where. He thought it was splendid of them all to be doing their bit, as far as they could in the war. He said you could always tell a scout at once, even if he were not in uniform, because he was quick and smart, proud of himself and his ap- pearance, but at the same time full of respect for others, and always rea- dy to lend a. helping hand. In regard to Sphagnum moss dress- ings, the society has a large demand for these dressings, and the provincial branches have each appointed an ex- pert, who can pronounce on the mer- its ot samples of moss. The society cannot accept any dressings, of which samples have not been seen and ap- proved by one of these experts. Don't forget it, scouts! That is what is expected of you, always to behave as a gentleman. Canada's Red Cross commissioner overseas has strongly recommended that Red Cross labels be sewn on to the garments that the society sends out. These goods are sent not only to our own military hospitals, but also to French and Belgian and Italian ones, and we would like to think-that the patients there know that the Can- adian Red Cross does something to help them.

NOTE THIS AND STOP THE GLARE The law will be enforced in regard to the glaring headlights on cars. It is so dangerous to those coming in the opposite direction, who are blinded by the glare. It is thus dangerous to botlrparties. One of the big objec- tions to putting in a small candle power lamp is its weak light. The lens made to stop the glare are all expensive, and when you break one Superintendent Ferrier, of Mimico, declared it was becoming more diffi- cult to conduct the school on the present income, and that at the end of December their expenditures had exceeded the receipts by over $9,000, while $10,000 would be needed to meet the ordinary needs of 1918. On March 1st the attendance was 302, of whom 32 were admitted during Jan- uary and February, and 11 were re- turns. Thirty were paroled during that time and three escaped. After nine years as inspector and instructor in printing, A. J. Parker resigned from the Industrial School staff. it costs considerable to replace it. A new little metal contrivance has been made that will fit over the lamp. It is perpetual, the initial cost being your only outlay. It gives you more light, as it throws all the light to the tqp of your reflector. Thus you have the light in turn thrown to the road. There is no glare intothe face of anyone approaching. This simple little ap- paratus is attached in a few minutes. Everyone should see it and get one put on. They will protect you from accidents and also give you full use of your lamps. See them at Barker & Co.'s garage," Main Street, Weston. IS IT PRICE? ' IS IT QUALITY? _ ___,-', _ _ IS IT QUANTITY? Though Toronto provides but 40 per cent. of the pupils at the Mimico Industrial School, it pays the whole cost of their education. At a meet- ing of the Industrial Schools Commit- tee yesterday it was resolved to have a committee wait upon the govern- ment with a. view to having the per capita grant increased, both for the Victoria and élexandra Schools. For five years the' government has paid $4.20 per week for each inmate at the Girls' Queen Alexandra School, and Miss Brooking, the superintendent, says it now costs $4.78 per inmate.
