Since coming to Canada from England 68 years ago, Mr. West- lake had lived at various district ,points. • He spent some years at Bayfield, and later was en the police force at Blyth before mov- ing to Goderich. , He was unmarried, and was a member of Victoria Street Unit- ed Church, Goderich, and of the IOOF. MRS. DAVID PRENTICE (By our Bayfield correspondent) A beloved resident of Bayfield in the person of Mrs. David Prentice, passed away early Mon-, day morning, July 16, 1951, in Clinton Public Hospital terminat- ing an illness which commenced over a year ago. Formerly Mabel Florence Stin- son, second daughter of Elizabeth Gemein'hard't and the late Wil- liam James Stinson, she was born on the family homestead, Blue Water Highway, Stanley Town- ship, on December .16, 1891. She gradltuaited from Clinton School of Commerce and went to Toronto in 1915 where she was a valued member of 'the office staff of the Beardmore Leather Belting Co. until her marriage to David Prentice October 25, 1922. Rd predeceased her December 23, 1936. She continued to reside in Toronto until 1941 when, ow- ing to her mother's failing health, she came home to live with her and her brother in Bayfield. During the years, by her kindly deeds and thought of others, she had endeared herself to young and old alike, and her cheery smile and greeting will he mis- sed greatly not only in her own femily circle but by a host of friends. She will be remembered long with affection by those from this community who served over- seas in World War II, for amongst .her many other Red Cross ,activ- ities, she wrote bits of the home- town doings regularly to them. Mrs. Prentice was a devoted member of Trinity Church, a (member of the committee of the Hayfield Agricultural Society, and (was always ready to do her share in any effort for the good of the community. Besides her mother, she is sur- vived by a brother, Harold A. I Stinson, Bayfield; three sisters: Myrtle (Mrs. George Reid), Flax- combe, Sask.; Eva Margaret (Mrs. A. F. Furter), London; Alice (Mrs. John Stumpf). New York; and two step -children: Miss Margaret Prentice, Toronto, and David Prentice, Pittsburg, Pa. The remains rested at Ball and Mulch Funeral Perlor?rs, Clinton, until 1 p.m. Wednesday when the cortege proceeded to Trinity Anglican Church, Bayfield, for the service which was very larg- ely attended.' The rector. Rev, H. J. E. Webb, conducted the burial service and interment was made in Bayfield Cemetery. Pallbearers were Carl 'Houston, Thomas Westlake, Alfred West- lake, Keith Gemeinharcit, Jeck Sturgeon and John E. Howard. Relatives from a distance who were present for the funeral in- cluded: Miss Mary Stinson, Reg. N„ Mr. and Mrs. Charles Shier, Ripley, Miss Margaret Prentice, Toronto, David Prentice, Pitts- burg, Pa., Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Furter. London, Mrs. J. Stumpf, New York. THE VOICE OF TEMPERANCE The democratic community is always in danger from the propa- gandist and the gossip. The pro- f pagandist has en axe to grind and has no scruples about nes-inform- ling the public. The gossip spreads 'the story, The listening public must leern to protect itself by be - ins skeptical about every sort of agitation—by refusing to be pan- , icked by glaring head lines or purple stories and bringing every- thing to the test of actual per - sone' experience. The people of Huron have been subjected to a lot of wet propaganda and wet gossip. Out of eleven years' ex- nerienci in Huron I say that these wet fabrications are not true. They are not borne out by facts -Huron is hot 'the blighted community that they picture. There is no more fortunate community than Huron. That's what every citi- zen of Huron will see if he uses his own eyes.—Advt. 29-b (This advertisement is inserted. by Huron Temperance Federation, DRUG STORES Toni Twin, Kathlene Crescents, says: aiLy "Hi A ARa"hELS G°'"tA1isyLnKsNpspi rtCURIyHIR TOM Home Permanent Refill 1.50 SUAVE Reg. 60o Egg Shampoo Reg. 69c BOTH FOR 98o REVLON - Aquamarine Lotion and Soap BOTH FOR $1.00 Dorothy Gray Hot Weather Cologne $1.25 ENGLISH STYLE HEALTH SALTS 59c Eno's Fruit Salts 59c & 98c • Wildroot Liquid Cream Shampoo 2-65c BOTTLES FOR 79c - MOSQUITTO REPELLANT S D -TER — SKEETER SHATTER TANTOO 59e BATHING: CAPS 49c — 75c — 95c — $1.50 WOODBURY FACIAL SOAP BATH SIZE — 2 FOR 25e Just Imported From Marseilles, France Extra Pure Castile ' Soap 15e and 30e CAKE 44 -44y* -4-4-4-44+44-04- .44.44-0-66.4-4-444-9.4 S 0 i -<-a 4-a-a-y+r6-6-4 UNIQUE PHOTO SERVICE F.
