PLANNED AT BAYFIELD
Proposal to purchase property
near Bayfield, on tha shore of Lake
Huron, for an Anglican church camp
to be used by Sunday school pupils
and young people, has passed the
synod executive committee of the
Diocese of Fluron.
An outlay of approximately $10,-
000 for purchase of property and
erection of buildings will be entail-
el, it is estimated by Archdeacon
W. J. Doherty. Cost of property is
estimated at $2,000. This camp
would take the place of leintail
Camp, now used in the month of

Baty of the Presbyterian Church and i
is available to the Anglican Church
only one month, Rev. J. H. Geogh-
egan, of Strathroy, and Rev. John

of securing property and supervis-
ing the building program.
The project is now in the hands
of the religious education committee
and a canvass of the parishes will
likely be made to determine whether
sufficient funds corn be raised be-
fore proceeding further. One of
the properties under consideration,
consists of 25 acres on the Elliott
farm about two miles north of Bay-
field.

FIFTY YEARS AGO
The golden wedding of Mr. and
Mrs, C. J. Balsden, of Inkerman
street, London, was celebrated re-
cently at their home where their five
sons and daughters and six grand-
, children gathered for a family din-
' ner. Mr. and Mrs. Balsden, who have
lived in London for the past .25
years, were married in Seaforth on
September 16, 1891, by the late Rev.
3. W. Hodgins, then Anglican recto'
at Seaforth. Mrs. Balsden was Geor-
gina Dawson, and she was a daugh-
ter of the late Capt. and Mrs. E. J.
Dawson of Seaforth. Mr. Balsden
was born at Exeter, son of the late
Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Balsden.
After their marriage the couple
resided in Melbourne, and later for
a short time in Stratford. Their fam-
ily of five are: Edward J. Balsden,
Stratford; Mrs. R. G. Boyd, Sarnia;
Frank R. Balsden, Detroit; Mrs. H.
M. McKenzie, London, and W. J.
Dawson Balsden, Detroit. For the fa-
mily dinner a huge attractively dec-
orated wedding cake centred the
table and golden gladioli were used
effectively through the rooms. Pres-
entation of a handsome radio from
the family was a happy feature.

wife are members of Hyatt Avenue

PRAISES OFFICER FOR
KINDNESS TO BOYS
The following recent item from
Collingwood will be of interest:
Only for J. H. Ferguson, president
of the Clyde Aircraft Corporation, a
kind deed on the part of Night Con-
stable Adrian Hogg. of the Colling-
wood police force. would have passed
unnoticed. Mr. Ferguson told memb-
ere of the council of an incident
which happened over a week ago
which he believed was 'worthy of
note.
An employe of his firm, said Mr.
Ferguson has had considerable fam-
ily trouble, and when it 'was found
necessary for him and his wife to
part; the three children were placed
in two private homes in Collingwood.
Two of the boys, who 'were together,
received beatings at the hands of
the woman with whom they were
staying: and finally the police were
called in. Officer Hogg tried to find a
home for the children, het it was a
difficult job, and he finally took
then into his own home despite the
fact that he has three children of his
own and several boarders. When,
later, it became necessary to put the
children in an institution. the con-
stable personally drove then at kis
own expense to the Orange Home at
Richmond Hill, and saw them settled
there. "It all goes to show that pol-
icemen are a pretty decent lot," Mr.
Ferguson commented.
Constable Hogg is a son of Mrs,
Joseph Hogg of Seaforth, and has
been on the Collingwood police force
since May let.

Mr. Mulcahy took a severe heart
attack over a month ago but rallied
somewhat and was able to be up and
• around. The day he died he took
his car out of the garage after lunch
to drive his youngest daughter to
the car line on her way to work. He

doctor he would never be able to
work again. He was a man of great
energy. One of thirty-five wholesale

tory had covered South Vancouver,

fortable home some years ago. He
was recognized as one of the firm's
leading salesmen, having won i1
sales contest among the employees.

time they had been nine years mar-
ried but had no family. Since then
they had nine children. three daugh-
ters died in infancy. He leaves his
wife and five daughters and one son.
Mrs. Michael Downey, Vancouver;
Margaret, Jean and Rita, at home,
Madelaine, Williams Lake, B.C„ and
one son, E. G. C. Mulcahy, of the
RCAF.
Mr. and Mrs. Mulcahy were quiet-
ly celebrating their fiftieth wedding
anniversary when Mr. Mulcahy col-
lapsed at the table. Everything pos-
sible was done for him and he was
well prepared for his last long jour-
ney, when the end came. He was
a kindly man and hospitable, his
many friends always welcome to his
home.
The funeral was largely attended
and the spiritual offerings were nu-
merous and beautiful.
Mr. Mulcahy was born on Sept.
26th, 1865,, and raised on the third
concession of Hibbert, second son of
the late Edward Mulcahy and Mary
Clinton. He left home when a boy of
eighteen, going to Victoria, B.0„
where his older brother was, After
several years he went to Vancouver

city and spent the remaining fifty-
three years of his life.
