To few; men is it given to live a
full century and to. few is it grant
ed a life as replete with adventure'
and colorful experience as that
Which destiny allotted to Capf. Alex
ander >. McKay of N^nton, Alberta,
whb celebrated, Monday, November
4, as his one hundredth birthday,
anniversary. .,
Perhaps destiny has less to do
with the captain’s longevity, than
did the stout Scottish stock from
whence he came, for his father lived
to ,105. Physical excellence alone,
however, could not guarantee sur
vival from storms, shipwrecks, mil-:
'times and pioneering hazards, and'
fate very .likely dealt Captsiin Mc
Kay a good “hand” as well as a
“braw” body*
He was bom at Stornoway, sea
port of Lewis Island, Ross-shire,
Scotland, November -4/ 1835. His
family emigrated to Canada when
he was 14 years of age, sailing
_ .aboard' th-e ^S-Jatgd., JB-lmaehjafe^.
which sank with its passengers, on
its return voyage to Scotland. Pas
sage aboard the old’ sailing vessel
, was extremely unpleasant, the boat
UeSrly going down off Ireiiand with;
all on board during a! terrible storm
the veteran Scot recalled.
Hamilton^ Ontario; which was at
that time without a railroad, was
„ where the McKay’s elected to settle.
Toronto , was known as “Muddy
York” at that time, the captain re-
membered with a chuckle'. Succes-
;. sive family moves to Stratford,
Woodstock, Goderich jand Huron,
were made, the latter point proving
; satisfactory for a permanent farm
home. —r——■ -——L/

"No nation^ can rise higher than
its womanhood,’’ said . Miss Caroline
Wellwood, as she outlined the im
provement in fhe past 25 years in
the. changing, attitude toward the
Chinese woman. While notable ad
vancement has been made in this
regard there is still quite la piece
to- go however before women will
have equal rights in China, said t’he
speaker. .
Her interesting address was de
livered to a large audience in‘atten
dance at the United Church y.P.S.
meeting on Monday evening.1 Miss
WellwoOd, now home on furlough,
is Superintendent of the United,
. Church W. M. S. Hospital in Chen-
gtu, West China. Added interest was
taken in her lecture, due to the fact
' thaf' Mi^^ hdfirW
was in. West Wawanosh, a short dis
tance, .east of St. Helens. She is a
sister of the late Mrs. George' Webb
of Wawanosh . ' r
, The gigantiq ptruggljei , China" is'
passing through today, she attribu-
->■ ted to*the fact that China’s 400 mil
lion pepple had through the ages
. been' satisfied with their art and cult
ture not realizing that they were
being left far behind the advances
of other nations.
Speaking of the forces of ^nature
and man, that .makes living in West
■ C^aa hazardous, the speaker said
siwr was frequently asked *“is it
worthwhile.” Beneath all this tur
moil, she replied there is the levch
. of Christianity working- and there is
great causing for rejoicing.
Japan A, Menace
«• Japan is a menace to North China
ahe. said, and ,is ever watching for
a moment to pounce in another -war
Of invasion. Present reports of Jap
anese threats in Cmna make ”*her
feel like going back ,t"o shoulder a
gUn. She' ^yehernently attacked Jap
an’s unrightful invasion. “They have
fio mdre right to annex land in China
than Italy has to take Ethopia,’’ she
said. ' • . i ~
Destroy Life And Properly
Miss Wellwood is situated 2000
miles inland in “The Garden of

is less effective and where the Com
munist .movement is’strongest, en
dangering life and property., Of their
massacres and destruction she spoke
oriefly. These outlaws are being con
trolled though and recently they
have been driven entirely from the
province m which Miss* Weliwood is
located.
The speaker lias for 29, years
been in charge of the hospital and
in making the trip inland then it
took one month. On ^coming out”
to commence her furlough the trip
was made-by -air-in-a hourSy she- said
in giving some idea of the advances
made in trnsportation and commun
ication. ■ .1 .
. Speaking of government, Miss
Well wood said the country was in
its 24th year as a Republic, with the
77th year’s taxes already collected,
giving an idea of financial condi
tions.
Seek Education
PoFsibly in education (has been
made the greatest advancements. A
fairly adequate educational system
provides seats of learning from the
kindergarten ItOi universities. Many
Chinese, (many of them ladies) grad
uate each year 'in medicine, dentisr
try and pharmacy. Nursing has be
come ,a vocatiop by which the Chin-t
ese girl realizes she can,.serve her
people and Miss’ .Wellwood’ji last
training class, of 12 girl^ was- pick
ed from 80 applicants. Three years
high school training is necessary
before becoming a student nurse.
Rev. S. T. Tucker expressed the
audience’s appreciation of Miss Well-
food’s' fine address. Mr. Alex Smith

board and clothing. For 50 years
he served in one capacity or another
on the water; making three voyages
across the Atlantic, besides his
gular Great Lakes service. He was
in charge of a number of Scottish
emigrants on his trips to the Old
. Country.
Three times Captain Alexander
suffered shipwreck. On the first oc
casion, which occurred on Pidgeon
Bay, it was necessary for the crew
to cling tq handholds in the rigging
foy 24 hours before the seas abated
sufficiently to launch life boats. '
(Captain Alexander pointed out
that’the rigging oh a stormy night
was not the most pleasant/place to
stay; particularly when ; one -wasn’t
-just-sure-as to-whCre the-ship-wasr
Another wreck -occiftred on Lake
Huron, 'and the third on Georgian
B.ay. On the latter occasion the
ship was pitched high and dry on
the Shore and had to be abandoned.
Captain Alexander’s last command
vtras the "Hattie Wells/’ one of the
last sailing boats to ply on the Great
Lakes. ’
Meanwhile the sailor established
an agghorage at Lucknow, by be-'
coming married to Margaret Currie^

this union were born nine children.

ming near ClareSholm, carrying On
with this occupation until retire-
nieht in 1922. Ho then moved to a
small cottage in Nanton, where he
Jived. ,with_kK.daughiter.^^
' Among the captain’s many inter-,

Mr. John (McGuire of town visited

These two gentlemen have much in

the distress caused by a fractured

his ship captains had to shoot three
mutineers at Port Colbourne, during
passage through the Welland Canal.
He explained that the captain, hand
ed himiself over to the authorities
immediately afterwards and was
exonerated, although he never sail
ed’ again.
Once off Goderich, the coal ship,
4<Rathbura” .foundered in a Storm.
Port authorities delayed in getting
a life boat off to the distressed ship,
so McKay and a sailor named Mc
Lean commandeered a small boat
and effected contact with the ship
after battling the waves for “what
seemed like, ages?’ The crew ’was^
saved including the ladv cook, and-
within . an hour after rescue had
been effected, the ship went to piec

I>EER NOT PLENTIFUL
Although cQns°jderable riflle fire 13
reported to be heard in the district
this week, few1 deer are reported to
have been brought down. A hunter,
from Galt killed one between Holy
rood vand the 10th Concession early
in the week and another hunter was
seen going west with a deer on iiia
car. -
Police and game wardens are said’
to be keeping a watchful eye on the
proceedings and some farmers are
prohibiting hunters on their land
during the week. Without dogs/ or
snow to track them, only those who
know where, the runways are stand
much chance of getting a deer in this
community unless Lady Luck is par
