Born in Gorrie, Ont, he received his early education in that town, after wards farming’ in the district until 1914, when he became a government inspector during the war years. In 1919, he, became a salesman buyer out of Harriston, Ont. In 1920 he was spec- ializing in sales only working out of Hamilton. In 1921, he became assistant producue manager of Gunn’s Limited, and in 1927, upon the formation of Canada Packers went west fo manage the Winnipeg Production Division. He capably held this position until illness forced him late in 1953. While in took active the benefiting Western, produce grow ers. In 1951, he acted as president of the pairy Manufacturing Association, Manitoba Division, and as president of the Western Canada Produce As sociation, Manitoba section. He also leaves three sisters, Mrs. Ina Sage, Goddels, Mich.; Mrs. T. Cor nelissen (Mildred); Mrs. B. Todd, Cor nell, Wis.1 (Annie); and a brother, James, of Toronto, Ont. Funeral ser vices were held in Winnipeg, Man. In terment in Orillia, Ont., May 4th, into part time activity Winnipeg, Mr. Musgrove part in groups promoting line before. The instructions were to send a fish ing plug to the man on the top of the list, type out sik letters with your own name at the bottom, and send them to six friends, within three days. Mir aculously the sender will receive 36 fishing plugs through the mail. Jf no body breakg the chain, that ip, The idea of receiving 36 plugs for an outlay of one fair enough, especially since 36 plugs tQ catch fish these the letter points out. But our keen, natural insight into these things told us that there might possibly be a slip up in the chain somewhere or other, resulting in something less than 36 plugs. And we were right. The first react ion came from one of our fishing friends who said that, while he was against this sort of thing he would go along with the gag as long as we typed the letters for him. Wearied as we were from typing the six original letters, we never did get around to it, thereby losing one-sixth of the profits. Our second answer came from an other fishing friend, who said he was against this sort of thing, period. We didn’t even offer to type his letters. The third district was heard from fishing sounded it takes days, as when we received a curt epistle from the recipient’s wife (no less) asking where we expected her husband to find the time for such nonsense as fishing, now that he was the prpud parent ot a baby son. Restraining all our nasty impulses, we immediately forwarded express collect, one loaf of bread con taining a hacksaw blade. We haven’t heard from th© other three prospects. Nor have we received any fishing plugs to date, In fact it looks as if we were the one to break the chain, and although the letter didn’t say so, it seems to us that thpre's a penalty for that. All in all, it looks as if we should have kept that plug we sent along. Now that the fishing seasons open, we could use it. EXPECT TO BREAK EVEN AT, WINDSOR CENTENNIAL Chairman Harry Rosenthal last week revealed that the Windsor Centennial Festival Inc. is $4,000 in the red, but expected revenues should allow the festival to break even before it ends next October.

Walpole SASH 0 Through Town FRAMES CUPBOARDS PITTSBURG PAINTS GLASS STAIRS SCREENS HARDWARE Big City Prices Glancing through the pages of the Toronto Star the other day, our eyes were greeted with the sight of several full page ads, ballyhooing what seems to.be tremendous bargains, principally in electrical appliances, refrigerators, stoves and whatnot. We were not a little intrigued by such drastic reductions. So we asked some of the local dealers how come Honest George, or whatever his name is, could pay for a full page ad in the Toronto Star (no mean feat in itself);' practically give away his merchandise, and still keep the wolf from the door. ' We presume that appliance dealers have to eat, just like anybody else. Yet here’s a guy paying hundreds of dollars for ads to tell people he’s selling stuff at cost and below. It doesn’t make sense. That’s exactly what the local deal ers figured. And they point to a few of the gimmicks used by some of the sharper city appliance dealers to lure trade to their door. First, the ad says "brand new”. ____ _ _ ______ __ ____l( Likely as not the appliance is brand radio and television, in Sept* 1952 the new, alright, but Honest George ne- _ giected to mention the fact that it’s a last year’s model. You can get bar gains in last year’s models in Wing ham, too. If he does mention it’s a ’54 model, he may be “sold out” when you go to see it. If it's a TV set that’s advertised, there may be “extra” charges for ser- Pilgrim Statue Visits Wingham and Brussels On April 27th and 28th, the Pilgrim Virgin Statue of our Lady of Fatima visited the district of Wingham and Brussels and the parishes of Sacred Heart and St. Ambrose recently. This statue, currently touring America, is a replica to remind people of the ap pearance of the Mother of God at Fa tima, Portugal in 1917 When she urged prayer and penance for peace. Six ap paritions were given to three shepherd children at Fatima during the 1st. World War on the 13th of each month from’ May to October. There is . an important message for peace in dur world which goes with this visit. A few years1-ago the song of Our Lady of Fatiriia told some of this message to millions by^ record, lauio uuu i.elcv.~. — —x- —---- -----II movie entitled “The Miracle of Fa- 1 tima” was produced and since that’ time has been seen by millions all over the world. The appeal of the Virgin Mary was “This war will soon end but if men do not do as I ask soon there will be another war worse than this one. Sin is destroying the world. The cause of war is the sins of men. The errors of Russia will spread throughout the world destroying nat- charges for installa-ion after nation; the good will suffer vlce> extra mgn cnarges rop instaiia with the wicked; the Church will suf- tion, or other gimmicks guaranteed to fer persecution but in.the end God make you pay the full price in the will give peace to the world—Russia will be converted from its Godlessness and my Imaculate Heart will triumph.” During the years since 1917 many of the things the Virgin Mary fore told have come to pass in our world. Father Patrick Moore of the Scar- boro Foreign Mission, Scarboro Bluffs, Ont., who brought the Pilgrim statue and preached the message has been travelling for six years on this par ticular and unique mission. He has covered over 180,000 miles by land, sea and air. In September, 1953, he began a tour of the Catholic Diocese of Lon don, which will terminate May 25th, when he will move on to another country. He has preached in nearly all the Caribbean Sea Islands, through America, Alaska and many places in Canada.The manner of carrying the statue of our Lady of Fatima atop the Ave Maria sound truck and reciting en route from town to town the prayer of the Rosary is carried out to beg God's blessing and protection through the^intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary upon all peoples, homes and families of whatever religious denomi nation. Generally a motorcade of cars accompanies the Ave Maria van from town to town. Father Moore feels that if men in general will only listen and live better lives, America may be sav ed from the heavy threat which now hangs over us of an all-out war which will -spell destruction of our larger cities. Godlessness, he says cannot for ever reign and God’s peace will event ually be given to our country and to the world. what you i appliance in service, with your .
