Stratford,- Nov. 2. — A host of friends In Stratford and elsewhere will learn with deep regret of the death of Charles Packext, Manager of the Perth Mutual., Fire Insurance Company. . On Monday last, M. Packert un- derwent an operation for appendici- tis, , from which he rallied well, and it was hoped that although he had just passed his 77th birthday, his re- markable strength and energy would enable him successfully to withstand the strain, but it proved too great. Coming to Stratford as a young boy, he was in 18'77 appointed sere• tary of the Perth Mutual -Fire Instr- ance Company, then a small nd struggling .concern, which. under his energetie and capable management' has developed +into one of the lagr- est end strongest Canadian fire offi- ces. Early becoming interested in fra- ternal matters, he hada distinguished career as an Oddfellow : and Free- mason. Joining Avon Lodge, No. 41 I, 0. 0. F. August 12, 1868, at the age of 21 years, he was financial sec- retary of this lodge for more than 40 years, resigning from the office in December, 1918, but remaining an active member up to the time of his death. ' He was also a 'member of Charity Encampment, No. 5, L 0. 0. F. In 1877 he was elected to the position of auditor 'tor of the Grand d Lodge of Ontario, retaining this of- fice up to 1911, when he resigned. He was a past district deputy grand master. In Masonry he was initiated in Tecumseh Lodge, No. 144. A. F. '& A. 11., on November 18, 1869, and served as Master for the year 1873. He was a charter member of Strat- ford lodge, o. 332, A. F. & A. M., and was master in 1875. He was honored at the last meeting of Grand Lodge by being presented with a medal for having been 50 years a past master of a lodge. He had also held many other important offices in Tecumseh Lodge and was a member of the board of trustees at the time of his death. He also served as first principal of Tecumseh Chapter, No. 24, Royal Arch Masons, in 1875, and was their efficient secretary for many years. ne of those active in He was havingSElmElmo Preceptory, 32, removed to Stratford in 1896.

The last visit Mr. Pacleert paid to Brussels was at the time of the funeral of the late W. H. Kerr es of the G. W. V. A. and other Or- ganizations throughout the Dominion have have organized a Poppy Day Campaign for Armistice Day, in or- der that those who remember semi- -flees made during the Great War may indicate their appreciation by wear- ing a replica of' the flower which blooms above the graves of our com- rades in Pleaders Fields. The Poppy Campaign has been the means by which local branches of the G. W. V. A. have created the fund for the alle- viation of the distress among the ex- aervice men and their dependents dur- ing the period of unemployment pre- valent during the winter months and .during sickness, and there is every evidence that the demand for such assistance this winter will be greater than ever.

This ancient lake in Palestine is, roughly, 'fifty by ten miles in maximum meas- urements, and, as its surface is 1,300 feet below the level of the Mediter- ranean, it has no outlet. Its waters are rich in chemical contents, such as magnesium chloride, sodium chlo- • ride, potassium chloride, and mag- nesium bromide.

Heavy Snow fall Then '—. Most of Ontario Was Blanketed Two to Three Feet Peep. Rev D. Rogers, of St, Thomas, and a former Junior Paster, of the llrus- cels Methodist .Church, believes the total eclipse of the sun this year may have had some bearing on the cold weather experienced last week, life. Rogers recalls that similar weather was experienced in October, 1869, on that occasion the fanners being caught entirely unawares, only a few potatoes having been dug up and no turnips raised. A unique coincidence LI Mr. Rogee's assertion that in Aug- ust of 1869 a total eclipse of the Stan took place. Many of the farmers who report they do not recall an autumn when frosts have been so severe as those of last week, but, judging from re- ports, October of this year was com• - paratively mild when compared to the month of October 1869. Mr. Rogers recalls a heavy fall of snowt. during that month. North of Lon- don and extending all th eway from, Lake Huron to the far east of Ontario the snowfall was from two to three, feet in depth. Mr. Rogers was - at home at the time and states that all the potatoes were left in the ground until the following spring. osiamerif roma. iiiIi l � _ti `promo o rim IR vaviec TELLER S'ervic �Ilil marked by courteoiilas efficiency WHEN you bank with us we consider it an expression of your con- •' fidencein us.
