BROTHER ANDRE
(Continued from last week)
After Brother Andre had
given Mr. Cantin courage to
carry on the work of building
St, Joseph, and had many times
given cures to long-standing ail-
ments or given satisfaction to
those who seeked relief, he was
asked by the Cantin family to
pay a visit to their village of
St. Joseph, After things were
arranged, in company with John
Cantin, the oldest son of the
founder of St. Joseph, they un-
dertook the voyage, arriving at
St. Joseph the latter part of
October, 1917, where he re-
mained for some time with Mr.
and Mrs. Napoleon Cantin.
While he was there, many
took the privilege of paying him
a visit, asking at least relief
from long-standing . sufferings.
Confidence in the Brother was
the answer for their requests.
Brother Andre had further
plans which he had kept to him-
self -the undertaking of build-
ing the Oratory, which cost
many thousands of dollars. To
the average person the project
would have seemed almost im-
possible.
As aforesaid, people of all
creeds, beliefs, and races were
interested in the saintly
Brother's idea, and at no time
was he rebuked for that under-
taking. If anyone was, it was
only a Jew.
Brother Andre gained much
fame by all classes of people.
He was not educated, but pos-
sessed a certain gift. When
conversing with those he came
in contact with, he made an
impression with his intelligence
and his ready answers he had
to convince them. He was stern
in giving his convictions on
questions proposed to him, and
left no one in doubt of his
answers.

General
The following recommendations are made to improve present methods:
(a) A budget should be prepared each year as required by the Municipal
Act showing the estimated revenue and expenditures in the same classi-
fications and detail as shown on schedule D of the financial statements
submitted.
(b) Duplicate serially numbered by the printer receipts should be used for
all funds received.
Auditor's Opinion
Subject to the foregoing, I hereby report that in my opinion
(1) The financial transactions which have come under my notice have been
within the powers of the municipality.
(2) The audit has been conducted in accordance with the instructions of the
Department of Municipal Affairs.
(3) The financial statements present fairly the financial position of the
municipality as at December 31, 1963, and the results of its operations
for the year ended on that date.
Date of filing: June 18, 1964.
