Miss Nellie Campbell, Toronto,
32-year-old daughter of Rev. A. C.
Campbell, pastor of the Baptist
Church in St. Marys, lost her life at
Grand Bend, Augiist loth, suffering
a heart attack while bathing in Lake
Huron.
Coroner Dr. P. J. O’Dwyer, Zurich
stated it was definitely not a case of
drowning and there was every in
dication that Miss Campbell has been
subject to a sudden heart attack
while swimming alone.

the beach at Grand Bend this sum

the late Miss Campbell had
vacationing with a companion,
Blanche Anderson, of Parkhill,
cottage in Oakwood, just north
of Grand Bend. The two had gone
for their afternoon swim at the
beach opposite Oakwood Park, some
800 yards north of the beach oppos
ite the casino,
Water Was Rough
The water was exceptionally rough
on Thursday afternoon |>eing whip
ped by a strong off-shore breeze. It
was about 4.30 o’clock that Miss An
derson, who was chatting with Miss
Erma Hauch on the beach, looked
toward the water and happened to
notice the unconscious form of Miss
Campbell floating not many yards
from the shoreline.
Dr. W. E. Tindale, of Toronto, was
called and organized the resuscita
tion efforts which were conducted
by Harold Whyte, hydro linesman
from Exeter, who is on duty at the
lake, assisted by Charles White, of
the St. John Ambulance Brigade, of
London. The efforts continued ro>
rhree hours when the coroner de
clared further efforts useless. Mr.
Whyte has worked over the bodies or
the three drowning victims this sea
son.
T. J. Anderson, father of Miss
Campbell's friend, was found dead
at almost the identical spot and un
der similar circumstances about five
years ago.
Miss Cam'i bell •was considered a
fairly strong swimmer and for this
reason and the fact that no water
was forced from her lungs during
respiration operations, it was be
lieved to be a definite case of heart
attack. Miss Campbell was a grad
uate of McMaster University and be
sides her father she is survived by*
only one brother, Dr. Bruce Camp
bell of the Hamilton General Hos
pital ’ and graduate of Western
versify last year.
No inquest was held. Rev.
Campbell, father of the victim
been vacationing at Paisley
went to Grand Bend immediately on
being notified of the tragedy.
The funeral service took place at
nine o’clock Sunday morning at the
Baptist parsonage in West Ward, St.
Marys, af ter which the remains were
taken to Sanctuary Park, Port Elgin

AND THE HOG PAYS WELL! Properly fed, 350 lbs. of grain makes 1OO lbs. of
pork. Rail-grade prices are based on dressed weight ... so rwZZ-/e</hogs when
Rail-Graded, pay the highest prices for their feed.
But "well-fed” does not mean over-fed, Good feeding calls for a balanced ration
of grains and proteins. Grain, by itself, is not sufficient to develop and bring your
hogs to market requirements economically. Proteins of animal origin, such as
skim milk and tankage, are of equal importance. Proteins promote growth and
save grain.
This representative Feeding Trial, with three lots of 21 pigs each, shows how
grain may be saved and cost of production lowered by feeding protein
