OBITUARY
Beatrice Dobie
A bright young life came to an early
close on Monday morning in the death
of Beatrice, daughter of Mr, and Mrs,
R. J. Dobie, Diagonal Road, after an
:illness of some months, Graduating
from the local Business College, she
took a position in Toronto early this
fast ,summer, but only filled it for a
few months when she was compelled
to return home on account of ill
health. Here her condition alternated
between hope and despair on the part
.of her parents, but she bore her ill-
ness with
ll-ness'with an expectation of recovery
and cheerfulness. The end came ra-
ther unexpectedly, for on the evening
previous she seemed considerably
brighter. Surviving besides her par
encs are two sisters' and two brothers,;
James of Acton, Gordon and Mrs: Mc-
Kay of Toronto and Mary at home.
The funeral took place from the resi-
cdence .of :her parents on Wednesday

drew's church conducted the services,

was solid bush. They cleared the
land and resided on this farm for
nearly fifty years. In 1902 they mov-
ed to Listowel and in 1904 Mr. Cham-
ney passed away.

reachedthe great age of 88 years, 3
months and 20 days. In September
last ''Mrs. Snell passed through, a
rather severe and critical illness and
her immediate relatives thought the
end of :her long career was nearing.
In a few short days a change for the
better set in and she was restored to
fairly good health again and continued
to 'enjoy life as before; This, how -
'ever lasted billy a' few months and
-as'above stated she succumbed to the
effects of an internal ,bowel, obstruc-
tion. Born in Devonshire, England,
she came to Canada with her parents
when scarcely three years of age and
all her Tong life was spent in this lo-
cality, first living a mile from town
in Stephen, and for `about 65 years

WOMAN AS A. CITIZEN.
iblrs, Ann Anderson. Perry of Tors
onto, found a receptive and. appreeie
five audience on Friday evening, in' her.
addres to the Wingh.an1 Canadian Club-
in the council chamber.. President,
Redmond introduced the speaker, who.
has had considerable newspaper ex-
perience in the West and: in- Toronto;,
and' also a varied connection with,
school matters and other questions of
a public nature. Mrs. Perry first as-
sured her audience she was not ofthe
militant suffrage kind of agitator, who
demanded the franchise andother pri-
vileges without a sure knowledge or.
proper 'understanding of their requests
Hers was of a different nature: to
present to the women of the land a
sane and 'common-sense plan or meth-
od of obtaining their rights and.'priv-
ileges, which the tremendous changes
in our customs and conditions deman-
ded. First there should be co-ordin-
ated action on the part of the women,
an intelligent conception and under-
standing of the demands made, and a
determination to press for their ach-
ievement, and then a rigid application
of the reforms granted. She stressed
the difference between mental train-
ing and emotional impulse, two fac-
tors which are frequently confused.
Women must needs study carefully
every question, not only those per-
taining to their place in the home, as
wife and mother, but should acquaint
herself with the relative connection of
,tlhe tarriff as it affects her place in
the home, and able to tell from which.
country conies the food and articles
used in the home; the need of medical
superivision in the school; the neces-
sity of concentrated action to improve
the standard of motion picture theat-
res. And above all she must remain
independent of any alliance with men's
organizations in connection with their
movements,
Mrs. Perry lived for some years in
the West and had opportunity to
study many of the questions that are
of concern to Canada to -day. From
1910 -to 1918; an immense influx of
foreign immigrants came to the. West
and were settled in large groups, with-
out any English-speaking settlers in-
termingled to act as a lever. The
authorities do. not permit of this, but
the damage already done wil take
years to eliminate, The West also is
far advanced as fax as public medi-
cal service is concerned. Travelling
clinics and subsidized physicians are
placed in outlying places with great
benefits. Mrs. Perry is very advanc-
ed in her ideas in some things, and
favored free medical attention to all,
by qualified practitioners, whose ser-
vices would be paid through general
taxes. Also, a responsible board of
physicians, should pass on all opera-
tion cases; and that a thorough change
made in hospital• systems, so that
a person in ordinary life might have
the necessary care in these public
institutions at a reasonable cost.
Proprietors of motion picture the-
atres on the whole, are of a good
class, but are not able to pick and
choose the films they want, The
octopus in New York lays out
a schedule, which provides a veriety
of films, which the theatre owner
may take or go out of business.
'Women can largely improve these
conditions by a careful study of the
situations, co-ordinate their efforts
through the various women's organi-
zations in the land, and then with
intelligent confidence present their de-
mands to the government. Admini-
strations always have a receptive
mind and are ready to learn of public
nion, and will speedily answer if
vinced of real sincerity.
