OBITUARY • Thomas E. , Jackson - For many years a farmer near CaI gary, while the city was yet small, and later one ofits greater landown- ers during the times of rapid expan- sion,. .'Thomas E. Jackson, pioneer westerner,died at his hone in West Calgary early on Wednesday, July 31, at the age of 62' years. His death came as the climax of a long illness; though his condition became critical only within the last few days. His family were with him at the time of his death. Forty-two years ago Thomas Jack- son, then a young man of 20 years, carne to the west, from Wingham, Ontario, his birthplace, to make his way in the new land. His brother, Charles, had come to Calgary in 18- 84, 'three years previously, and Thomas decided to join him. The brothers farmed near Calgary for many years, and later converted much ;of their property into building land as the city far: outgrew its early boundaries. A part of the old home- stead is being farmed today by Thom- as Jackson's sons. .Mr. Jackson carried with him to the west, as one of the interests of his life, a strong interest in the Methodist church and its activites. He was one of the original congre- gation' of Bankview Methodist church, as it was then called, and did not cease, throughout his life, to aid its work. He was also a member of the Liberal party and various farmers' movements. He assisted in the or- ganization of Alberta's first dairy pool. In later years he became as- sociated the Southern Alberta Old - Timers' and Pioneers' Association, and was active in its interests. He is survived by his widow and six 'sons, and four daughters, Earl, Lyle, Thomas, Albert, Mary, Violet, and Mrs. Fred Timmins of Calgary: Mrs. Stanley Black, of Pontiac, Mich- igan; Fred of Vancouver, and Ernc•It of Detroit. He is also survived by two brothers, A. h., of Detroit, Mich- igan; and Charles, of Calgary; also two sisters, Mrs. A. C. Harrison ar d Mrs. G. T. Bragg,, both of Edmon- ton, BOWLS: A GAME OR A FROLIiC OLD AGE PENTONS Applications for Old Age Pensions are coming in very rapidly, but about 80 per cent. lack proof of age.

Holman COUNTY CLERK lug the game." Too often, -however,' it is playing the public. Players now adays won't play without pay, and big pay' too. In this regard, the pay in my opinion ,cancels the play and transforms it into work. No one, so far as I' know is paid for playing bowls; the taint of:com- mercialism has not yet touched this innocent pastime. Trophies are in- deed played for, but, these seldom, if ever become personal property. In all games it is possible to cheat, or be' cheated; in, bowls there is no such ..contingency. Hence, if for no other reason bowls is not a game., But as a frolic or .patstime .bowls can- not be beaten. Folks play bowls be- cause they like to, and 1 certainly envy the enjoyment some folks get out of bowls. But to enjoy bowls effusively, one must really be preter- naturally intelligent; intellect here counts; means.a whale of a lot. Yet something,higher-than intellect, be or she must have who would shine at bowls. This something is a persua- sive power transcending by miles, that usually possessed by ordinary everyday mortals. In the bowler, finale or female, this persuasive force is really a marvellous thing,' an un- canny thing. Could it be exercised on human beings as it is exercised on inanimate bowls, our lives would not be our own, our decision to do this or that would be set at naught, overruled by the mighty impulses, and esoteric suggestions of others. An ordinary person like myself would imagine that once a bowl was delivered from the hand of a bowler it would obey nature's laws, and roll just where it naturally should. But in bowls, nature is nowhere, and evi- dently has little to say. . A really dyed -iii -the -wool bowler can run along with his bowl, and closely determine its course. He or she can make it deviate this way or that, increase or decrease its velocity at will, seemingly by pure unadulter- ated vocal mesmeric persuasion. It is the exercise of this persuasive power that makes the frolic of bowls so pleasantly interesting. Now, I have philosophized on this force, without much result. I find most things in heaven and earth eas- ier to .philosophize upon than this strange, weird, uncanny_ force, that most bowlers are ether born with, or so speedily acquire. Bowlers, I not- ice are most tenderly fond of their own bowls, worship them in secret, and in return evidently the bowls graciously condescend to be coached. A iiaseball Pitcher's control over the ball, ends as it leaves his hand. Were .he able to control its course, right up to the plate, every ball would be a strike -out, and the game would lose its interest and charm. Unlike the bowler the Pitcher can't accom- pany •his missive, can't whisper to it or vociferate at it while it is in tran- sit. Besides a bowler and a pitcher are two different persons, very very dif- ferent indeed, The Pitcher MAY be a beast, the bowler must be a PER- SON with a gift of persuasive speech herculean enough to work miracles, Silence ceases to be golden Lin the bowling lawn; speech .is gilt there. In conclusion I would say that Min- isters, M.P.'s, and married women make the best bowlers, perstiasive speechifying being their strong point. They are good. at telling people what they ought to do, and so I suppose by the exercise of this privilege that somehow of other has been bestowed upon them they should be able to induce a bowl to travel in accordance with any deluge of words they may care to address to them. There is one Wingham woman who talks very delightfully to her bowls. She calk them 'clear thing&', lovely boys,' etc., etc, Her bowls respond to her endearments absoltitely iner.- ranily. Without tite slightest hesi- tation, they will detour; side-step, left turn, right turn, and do jtist whatever she coaxes thein to do. Her husband mus be a DEAR, lie looks the part amvay, Now I want to say that I do not wish to advertise our Bowling Lawn, but if any of my readers are at all sceptical of what 1 have said ,can be done with and BY bowls, I suggest their visiting our Lawn,' They will immediately be transformed into ar- dent believers, J. G. Webster. I am not of those who care for or attach much value to appreciation, I would rather be appreciated however, than misunderstood. I gather from various sources that my last week's article has been monstrously misun- derstood. I am solaced by the fact, however, that it has been the fate of all worthily notable persons to be misunderstood; so, if 1' agonize over the misunderstanding of such of your readers as are usually competent, and ;impartial jurors, I agonize in good company. It is being charged against me that irly article maligned Bowls, and Bowl- ers. I hasten to plead not guilty, and most immediately come 'to :my own rescue Beyond peradventure T. consider :yowls the finest, the cleanest, and the very best of our pastimes. I re- assert, however, not as a disparag- ment, but rather as a compliment, that Bowls is NOT a gonte, but a Frolic, or a very pretty and pictures- que pasture. That is may .long re- main so is pry most earnest wish. Toexcel it a game requires skill, and perhaps patient practice; but when skill, a thing not of our own. snaking, and practice at our own in- itiative are exerted in furtherance' of selfish ambition, or for worldly gain, as they, are in most games to -day, •then, in excluding bowis froii' our list of gauzes, Ido not hand it a lemon, I proffer it a •favor.
