EILBER — In loving memory of
a dear husband, who passed
away one year ago, February
21. 1949.
His life is a beautiful memory,
His death a silent grief;
He sleeps in a beautiful garden
In the sunshine of perfect
peace.
And we who have known and
loved him,
Whose departure has brought
sad tears.
Will cherish his passing always
To brighten the passing years.
—Sadly missed by his wife
Mary. *

The dearest aunt the world could
hold,
The cheeriest smile, a heart of
gold,
And those who knew her, all will
know
How much we lost a year ago.
Always a smile, instead of a
frown,
Always a hand, when one was
down,
Always so true, thoughtful and
kind,—
What a wonderful memory to
leave behind.
—Lovingly remembered by her
niece, Dorothy Quinlivan. *

the trade situation was made,
Everything possible must be;
done by the government to main
tain the prosperity of agricul
ture which was basis in the na
tional scheme of things. It agri
culture were prosperous, then all
other lines of industry prospered.
On the other hand, falling farm
prices easily might start a recession with all Its far-flung ill-1
effects.
It was of special importance
that markets be found for Can
ada’s surplus products. Canadian
agriculture how was equipped to
produce tremendous Quantities of
high quality foodstuffs. In the
past three years, Canadian farm
ers had purchased machinery
and equipment worth more than
$504,000,000. This C 0 ill p ar e d
with $45,000,000 for the prev
ious nine years, It was essential
to the whole national economy
that farm products be marketed
at a price that would give a
reasosable profit to producers.
