lyhich is the work of the late
Rexford Ostrandef>who killr
ed-Jn__aJMghWAyJaccid^^^
years ..ago, -on Friday,rFebruary
jl3th“;
. The painting is a reproduction
of Hofman’s “Christ in Gethsem^
ane’\ and was probably outstands
ingj "among Rexford’s many fine
portraits. He donated it to the
church and the recent illuihiha-
tion of the picture has added the
more to its impressiveness.
In referring to this Rev, Meik-
lejohn said. ‘-The illumination' is
installed to commemorate his
service and to increase our aware
ness of’Christ’s; prayer—Never
theless, not My will, but Thine
be done”. ;

“BUSH NEVVS” OF SPECIAL
INTEREST TO IRA CAMPBELL
; Mr. Ira Campbell of town
showed us a recent picture_xof
the ■ “Bush News” that featured a
picture taken 36 years ago in the
Algoma bush that set an all-time
record' for a . load of logs. On this
load were 306 pulpwood logs, and
it was built on a^wager. Chained
on in three decks, special pre
parations were made to prevent
freezing the sleigh shoeing, and
thus two teams of horses were
able to move the load over a 3-
mile. trip to the log dump. The
sleigh stood up under/ the load
but was splintered to match wood!
in the unloading. ' ,
The “Bu$fr News” brings back
vivid memories to Mr. Campbell,
for he spent twenty years at Kapuskasing and 2^ years at
Long Lac iff?charge of a pulp-"
wood camp. The Fins, he says,
are great bushmen, strong and
hardy. He has special recollec
tions of one powerful 6 foot, 8-
inch Fin. He with others return
ed to his homeland during the
Russian-Finnish war, and, many
them were killed in defense
their country.

INJURED LAD
HAD OPERATION
Dales <Cbngriain?l 7-year-oId son

■ Children’s. _Hospital,_ London,—on
Monday, in an effort to correct
a pelvic injury received on Tues-
• day of last .week when -hecollid
ed with a truck. * . „
•; Dale’s injuries were’ regarded
as critical and for a time his /
life hung in the balance^ Internal
and head injuries were less ser
ious than at first feared, but a*
badly damaged pelvic bone where
it joins the hip gave his special
ist much concern.
It became apparent that"with-
. out surgery * Dale might never
walk again, so on Monday morn
ing the youngster gamely went
to the operating room for a three-
hour ordeal. „ _
He. stood the operation Vrell
and was bright and. cheerful
when his parents left him Mon
day evening.
The surgeon told Mr. and Mrs.
Congram that Dale would def
initely be able to walk again,
but there is the possibility that
he may have a limp, although his
age is much in his Savor and time
alone 'holds the answer,
If the lad progresses as expect-
~ed”he wiir ibe put in a; eastern y
