John S. Bedford, hotelkeeper, to
prove that their father was unduly
influenced and lacked testamentary
capacity, as they allege, in' the action
to upset the will, Judge Costello
ruled today in surrogate court, At
the outset this burden of proof WW1
placed .on the executor, F. 1L Darrow,
and, after a .day's testhnony, his
honor ruled that a prima facie case
had been made out.
"So far there has , been nothing
brought out to distinguish this will.
from dozens of others. It has been
the experience of all of us to find
that "gifts to perfect strangers are
bard to understand," said the judge
in summing up. He ordered the case

Once Worth $100,000
It developed in the evidence that
the estate, once estimated at $100,000
bad been heavily burdened in the
interval between the death of
Mrs. Bedford in December, 1928, and
her husband in January. 1932. In
that interval Mre. Mary 'Bowler,
housekeeper and beneficiary under
the will. is alleged by the chiliren of
deceased to have exercised undue
influence over their father.
It further developed that in this
interval rents of $8,600 had been
collected, that there were urpai'l
4ills 'cf 87,500, and that there is a
mortgage of $4,500 against the pro-
perty. Testimony yet to be produc-
ed will showthat the contents of the
hotel were disposed of for $10,000.
The estate is stow a mere fraction
of what it once was, counsel. stated.

RECREATION AREAS EASIILY
REACHED
For most people the summer vaca-
tieo is limited to a few weeks and is
really shortened by the time used in
travelling to and from the focality
selected. Canada has an extensive
system of good roads and excellent
railway services, which greatly fac-
ilitate travel 'between provinces.
' Attractions Cover Wide Range
Canada presents a striking diver-
sity of nattuaI features—the rugged
and picturesque Atlantic coast; the
St. Lawrence river and Great Lakes,
the wends greatest inland water-
way; the Laurentian mountains,
land of forest and stream; the prair-
ies; the majee`ic Rockies; and the
beautiful Pacific coast,
The Naticnal Development Bur -
eon, Department cf the Interior, at
Ottawa, has prepared a series of
autemcbile i'oail snaps, showing thn
1 main routes *cm one province to an-
ether, also a number of interesting
booklets, including "Vacati'ons in
Crusade" which describe the tourist
att'oetious of each province. These
will be rent to any of cur readers
planning a vacation. Applicants
should state the areas in which they
are interested.
LIGHTNING• PREDICTED
Canadian weather experts predict
for 1932 an unusually high number
of lightning storms under such .dry
conditions as invite forest fires. This
means that forest fire rangers, great-
ly reduced in numbers during 1932,
will have to depend more than ever
upon the public for active aid in
reporting and subduing outbreaks,
With the handful of rangers that
will be on duty in many areas, the
Canadian Forestry Association is
doing its utmost be persuade settlers,
tourists, tampers and other classes to
show special vigilance and to take
every precaution against causing fire
trouble in the woods.
SHE .DEFENDS HER .PEOPLE
In the course of the late Senator
iP rye's speech on the Armenian out-
rages, in the United States, many
years ago, he said:
"I do not love Great Britain par-
ticularty, and could not give my as-
sent to the marvellous eulogium up-
on Great Britain delivered here the
clay before yesterday._ I admit the
greatness of Great Britain; I admit
she is the greatest power on earth,
and the most magnificent power ev-
en' seen in the history of the world,
on the ocean. I think that one of
the grandest things in all the history
of Great Britain is that she does pro-
tect her subjects everywhere, any-
where and under all circumstances;
I do not wonder that a British sub.
ject loves his country.
"This Iittle incident, with which
you are all familiar, is a marvellous
illustration of the protection which
Great Britain gives to her subjects:
"The king of Abyssinia took a Brit-
ish subject named Campbell, about
twenty years ago, carried him up to
Cho fortress of Magdala on the
heights of a rocky Mountain, and put
him into a dungeon, without cause
assigned. It took Great Britain six
months to find that aut. Then Great
Britaineedenanded his inunediate re-
lease. It was refused, In less than
ton clays after that refusal was roe
ceived, 100,000 British soldiers, in,
eluding 5,000 Sepoys, were on board
ships of war and were sailing down
the coast. '
"When they, reached the coast they
disembarked, marched across that
terrible eotmtry, a .distance sof 700
miles under a 'burning. sun, 'up the
mous tan, rap to the very heights in
front of that frowning dungeon; then
gave battle, battered down the iron'
gates and the stone wall;''reached
over into the dungeon and. -lifted ou'
19 it that one, British subject,, Ring
Theoband killing himself with his
own pistol. They' then ' carried hire'
dawn 'the mountaincross. 'e
a the 1•and;i
ii
ship, and sped Hilo to his hone in
safety. That cost Britain $25,000,000
and made General Napier, Lord Nap-
ier of Magadale,
That was a great thing for a great
country to do—a country that has an
eye that can see all across the land,
away down to the' darksorne dungeon
onesubject of hers out of 38,000,000'
people, and then has an arm strong
enough and Tong" enough to stretch
across the same ocean, across the
carne lands, nip to the same mountain
height, down to the same dungeon;
and then lift hien out and carry him
hoarse to his own country and friends.'
In God's name who would` not die
for a' country that will do that?"
(The 'several units of the Empire
are becoming so independent these
late years that perhaps they might
not now appreciate such paternal
care as described above. What think
you?.. News -Record Ed.). ,
