Deceased, who was in her year had been ailing for several months and in January was taken to Victoria Hospital for treatment but after a few dayi was brought home and continued to grow weaker. Ex­ pressed anticipations of her return to perfect health were not destined to be fulfilled; full of hope that before the winter was over renewed: physic­ al power would enable the beloved wife and mother to resume her place in the home. She thought so sel­ dom and so little of self that prob­ ably she was herself never fully aware of the great strain upon her faculties and slender frame under which she labored although none could know how close her ceaseless labors had brought her to the edge of her vital resources. Those of us who knew her best found in her a wonderful friend, ever willing to lend a helping hand, giving a kind word and smile to all with whom she came in contact. Throughout her life she was a great believer in prayer and her Saviour was very real to her and as she lov­ ed Him she felt it her duty to teach her children to love Him; also as would be seen on the Sabbath day her little loved ones were brought to the Sunday School. Thus the Friend beside whom s'he had walked thro’ life could not desert her in death .for “in Him was no darkness at all”. All was light for her to the end and the All-wise Father bade her come into the House and rest awhile. The Sweet Going Away Passing out of the shadows Into the purer light; Stepping behind the curtain, Getting, a clearer sight; Passing out of the shadow Into Eternal day. Why do we call it dying This sweet going away. The funeral on Saturday was of the saddest that ‘has taken place in Exeter fox’ some years. The .home was packed to the doors with her old neighbors and friends who met to pay theii’ last respects to one whose memory will remain until life lasts. No greater tribute could be giveix to anyone than was expressed by Rev. Arthur Page of James St. Unit­ ed Church, From Proverbs 31, vers­ es 25th, 26th, 27th and 28th he bas­ ed his remarks with much feeling and inspiration to the sorrowing ones. Rev. A. E. Elliott of Main Sti'eet United Church assisted with a very touching prayer which brought great Comfort to all his hearers. Mrs. Preszcator leaves, grief strick­ en husband and. three soils and five daughters, the youngest being in her fourth year and to community extends pathy in this hour and bereavement. 35 th one the W. M. S. of the James Street church was held in the Sunday School room on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Amy presided during the devotional per­ iod and led in prayer, Mrs. Maud Heywood read a leaflet entitled ‘The Spirit of Jesus at Work.” 'This was beautifully given and was a chal­ lenge to all to endeavour daily to show in ‘words and deeds that we do possess the Spirit of Jesus. After singing the hymn “Disciples of Jesus”, Mrs. Page took the chair in the absence of the President, Mrs. Kyle. The minutes of the last meet­ ing were read and approved. During the business session that followed, reports were received from the group leaders, one had already added the treasury and plans had 1 made for further activity, calls were made on the shut-ins. Mrs. Heywood Hartnoil were appointed sent the W. M. S. at a meeting to be held at Mrs. Middle­ ton’s to make arrangements for the Word’s Day of Prayer. Mrs. Page then gave the fourth chapter “The Church in Africa” from .the 'Study Book, we learn that Missionary work really began in Africa in 1880 and during the first twenty-five years, one hundred and nine missionaries gave their lives for that cause, it was only after the heroic life and lonely death of Da­ vid Livingstone was made known in 1875 that definite progress- was made and since that time expansion has been steady, one of our mission­ aries, Miss Melville, retired” last year after giving forty-one years of service and is now living in Tor­ onto. The young people of Africa eagerly accept the new religion, adults are 'harder to impress. The Bible has been translated into 244 different African dialects, it is the greatest text-book in ' Africa. Our missionaries realize that the ideal evangelist for Africa is the native, so thousands have been trained and are giving sincere service as teach­ ers and workers. The African people are possessed of marvellous liberality, from the small wage of $1.25 per month many thousands are giving 25 cents each month for the cause of ’Christ. This study was closed with a beautiful tribute to the beloved pioneer mis­ sionary David Livingstone. • At the close of the meeting t'he Mission Band served a ten-cent tea. them the entire profound sym- of great sorrow’ Hog Concentrate Hog Tonic apj Stock Specific, /Cough Powdq Ointment fol* any opyn sores Salt,j orm Specific Disinfectants ent for strains or sprains lid Linseed Oil Cod Liver Wo rm-fix cleans a11 Poultry Sulph once cificj Roup Cure, Lay Mash, rms without starting a moult ate, Lice Killer, Oyster Shell , hen and chick size LINDENFIELD A>Nl to been Twelve s-iclk, ‘and and Miss to repre- committee DR, H. I». ROSS, EXETER OLD BOY, DIES AT NAMPA Hundreds of friends and acquaint­ ances mourned the death of Dr, H, P. Ross, prominent and beloved pioneer physician of Nampa who died at a local hospital late Friday afternoon following a lingering ill­ ness. The funeral services'were held on Sunda'y afternoon at 2.30 o’clock at the Robinson funeral chapel with t'he Rev. L. A. Cook, officiating. Dr. Ross was born at Exeter, Can­ ada, March 9, 1880 where he rec­ eived his early education. Follow­ ing his graduating from the Trinity Medical School of Toronto, he went to Minnesota where he practiced medicine until 1904 when -he came to Nampa and opened an office and remained in active practice until his recent illness. During 1928 and 1929 he was president of the Idaho Medical sociation and was a member of Idaho State Medical Board of aminers for eight years prior to his death, He served as a member of the Idaho Legislature in 1917 from Canyon county. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Claudia Ross; one . daughter, Mrs. W. C. Dewey, Jr., of Nampa; one brother, Warren B. Ross, of Salem, Oregon. —-Oregon Free Press Dr. Ross, who was known to his friends as “Pecky” was taken ill with pneumonia the Sunday before Thanksgiving and was given little chance to live. However, about New Years he rallied and showed signs of recovering only to pass on as ab­ ove stated. If a 'man’s success in life can be measured by the floral tributes and the atendance at his. funeral, then Dr. Ross was a very successful man. From September 1, 1930 to De­ cember 31, 1935, licenses of 21,529 Ontario automobile drivers were suspended, according to statistics re­ leased by J. P. Bicltell, registrar' of motoi* vehicles.

In 1935, financial responsibility suspensions totaling 2,311 were lift­ ed when proof of financial responsi­ bility had been filed and other con­ ditions fulfilled. During the five-year periQd, 11,935 such suspensions were lifted. Reckless driving convictions, fol­ lowing incidents which resulted in accidents, accounted for most of the financial responsibility suspensions, was total of 5,839.

It is to these communities we must look for oui* future leaders in busiriess, the pro­ fessions and public life.
