RALPH CONNOR
PASSED AWAY
Rev. Charles W. Gordon, widely
known for his church work and for
his authorship under the pseudonym,
Ralph Connor, died in hospital at
Winninpeg early Sunday. He was 77.
A former Moderator of the Pres
byterian Church in Canada, 1921-22,
,he began his writings to acquaint the
people of his ch-urch with problems
and importance of religious work in
Western mission fields.
Retired from the active ministry of
St. Stephen’s United Church, Winni
peg, in 1924, he had since maintained
keen interest in the progress of
Church Union. He was stricken while
at his summer home on Lake of the
Woods and entered hospital Oct. 1st
for an abdominal operation from
which he failed to rally.
His death followed by less than 24
hours that of a brother, Dr. H. F.
Gordon, M.D., of Winnipeg, who died
suddenly Saturday, aged 71. Dr. Gor
don, prior to taking a course in med
icine, operated a drug store in Wing
ham.

RAN INTO SNOW
ON WAY TO FLORIDA
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Gowans left
here October 20th for Florida. They
arrived at St. Petersburg October 26.
During their trip to the sunny south
they passed through snow storms so
it appears that we were not the only
locality that had bad weather in Oc
tober. Mr. Gowans states in a letter
that after leaving Wingham the wea
ther seemed to get colder each day
until they passed the Cumberland
mountains of Tennessee. It began to
snow when they were crossing Ken
tucky and continued for hours and it
was necessary to get out and wipe
the windshield off several times. It
also snowed in Tennessee. When
they arrived at St. Petersburg, how
ever, the weather was bright and sun
ny. Already 5,000 have registered at
the Chamber of Commerce, St. Pet-
I ersburg, which is 1,000 more than at
this time last year. Mr- and Mrs.
Gowans are living at 604 7th Street
North, St. - Petersburg, the same
place as former winters.

Canadian Turnips Exported) to U.S.
The best export market for turnips
grown in Canada is the United States.
Of the total exports of turnips in the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1937,
amounting to 2,623,787 bushels, 2,-
612,010 bushels went to the
States. In the fiscal year
March 31, 1936, the exports
U.S. were 2,375,906 bushels.
negligible quantities of turnips are
supplied to the United States by oth
er countries so that the U.S, market
may be regarded as a dependable one
for the Canadian exportable surplus
