The friends that gathered in the United Church on Wednesday afternoon last week, tc> mourn with those who mourned the passing of their loved one, attested the high regard in which Ada Gallaher was held. The service was most impressive. Rev. Mr. Robb, of Bluevale, basing his remarks upon the text 116th Psalm, 15th verse, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of.His saints.” The hymns sung were favorites of the deceased. A beautiful solo "Face to Face” was rendered by Mrs. Geo. Allen. Miss Gallaher was born and grew up on Lot 17, Con. A., Howick, and in conversation with one who knew her well, we were given a partial in­ sight into her fine character. She was of an effectionate disposition so that friendship’s circle was to her a large one. To her the struggle and burden of earth are ended and we confidently trust thqt like one who awakes from a troubled dream, she has awakened to see life’s endless morning break, 'and knows herself at home with all the loved ones missed from earth safe about her. She was taken ill while at the home of Mr. Wm. Thornton, Bluevale, about two months ago and since that time had been confined to her bed at the home of her brother, A. E. Gallaher, where she passed peaceful­ ly away Monday morning, March 23. She was the daughter of the late John and Mary Gallaher and was a mem­ ber of the United Church. She leaves to mourn her loss, two brothers and three sisters, A. E. Gal­ laher, Howick; William of Wroxeter; Mrs. A. Goodfellow, Toronto; Mrs. F. Kitchen and Mrs. Earner, Wrox­ eter. The funeral was held Wednesday' afternoon, a private service at the home of her brother, followed by a service in the United Church, Wrox­ eter, conducted by Rev. A. M. Grant and Rev. Mr. Robb, of Bluevale. The floral tributes were beautiful, from friends at Salem, Bluevale, Wroxeter, Brussels and Toronto. Pallbearers were, six nephews, Wm. Gallaher, J. Bryans, Clifford McAl­ lister, Stanley Gallaher, John Gallaher and George Gallaher. Interment took place in Gorrie Cemetery. Teeswater Boys Showered by Water Sunday evenings, and even early Monday morning, several young men think it cute (if they think) to stand on the Jeffery corner, or in front of the resauraht and laugh, joke and generally make "jacks” of themselves, 1 and attempt to make remarks on ev- cry, passer-by, especially if they are of the female persuasion. Sensible young men wo-uld not do so. Last Sunday, sometime between church and Monday morning, this bunch were treated to a genuine shower of excellent cold water. Really the waste of good water; but very timely. Some young men think such as smart —but any fool can stand all night on a corner.—Teeswater News. Moving to Brussels Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Buschlen are moving in the near future to Brussels, where Mr. Buschlen has been pro­ moted to the position of section fore­ man. Mr. Buschlen has been a resi­ dent of Durham since quite a young lad, and Mrs. Buschlen is a native of Dornoch. They have many friends in this section who regret to see’them go, but who will wish them well in their new home.—Durham Chronicle. Palmerston Hotel Being Wrecked The Central Hotel building which is being wrecked to make room for an up-to-date gasoline station, is in its final stages of demolition.

VICTORIA UNIVERSITY TO CELEBRATE CENTENNIAL The one-hundredth anniversary of the granting of the Royal Charter by ICitlg William IV .in 1836 to the Up­ per Canada Academy, Cobourg, On­ tario, as an institution of higher edth cation wilt be observed this fall by Victoria University, Toronto. The Upper Canada Academy changed its name to Victoria College in 1841, and this was changed to Victoria Univer­ sity in 1884. Victoria College con­ ferred the first degree in Arts ever conferred in Upper Canada, in 1845. The original building of Upper Can­ ada Academy, later Victoria College, in Cobourg, was opened in 1886 and still stands. This building is pictured in (1). Emmanuel College, the ological branch of Victoria University was opened in Toronto in 1931 and is shown in (3) above, Victoria Coll­ ege (2) the Arts Faculty of Victoria University, was opened in 1892 when Victoria College federated with the University of Toronto, and moved to Toronto. Parents are Often Wrong The wise doctor does not try to cure the pain without finding out what is causing it. So, the modern parent who has studied child psychol­ ogy, tries to find why the child acts as it does when something goes wrong. This is nicely illustrated in the following cases A boy in his teens suddenly began to help himself to money from any purse within reach. The parents before saying anything to him studied the matter very care­ fully trying to see why he should do this, feeling that there must be a reason for it. They came to the conclusion that they were partly to blame because although they gave him money when-he asked for it, they had never given his an allowance and he had nothing that he could definit­ ely count as his own. They realised that everyone has a right to a little money and thought that although it had not been apparent, probably he had disliked asking for money—who doesn’t? They talked to him without any display of temper and gave him an allowance large enough to cover his necessary casual expenses and to have some left over to spend as he liked, or to save, or just to carry in his pocket to give that feeling of sat­ isfaction that carrying a little money always gives. Since that time there has been no trouble whatever. They thought they were being kind to him when they gave him the money he asked for but they were not hand­ ling an important matter in a wise way. When things go wrong in your family, matter in any Robert E. Clements, resigned sec­ retary-treasurer of the Townsend pension movement, whereby all over 60 are to get $200 a month, testified before a Senate inquiry at Washing­ ton that he received a salary of over $12,000 a year, with all expenses paid. The Townsend organization obtained, over $1,000,000 in contributions from millions of aged persons attracted by the idea of $200 a month pension, it was revealed at the inquiry. tell that you can clean by slushing them up and down in nice sudsy water. Not being lucky enough to have any straw flowers this winter I have not tried it so cannot Vouch for the statement but it sounds worth trying. before you act, study the and see if you are to blame way. Children’s Parties Summer is the easiest time to have a children’s party but birthdays are not always considerate enough to come at that time. Aftei* having our children when they come home from parties and other children at our part­ ies I have come to the conclusion that the most important thing is to have something to take home. So, lately I have lessened the expenditure on the food and other things and concentrated on things to take home. The last party we had the easiest and the most successful. The boys had supper shorly after they arrived and we gave them gliders. It was summer and they played with them until it was time to go home. One small lad came to me a few minutes after re­ ceiving his glider and said, "I think I better go home now. I want to show John my glider.” John was his older brother. So, off he went. How­ ever he came back after a little while and joined in the fun again. Food at a children’s party should be simple and easy to digest. Many mothers dread parties, because, between ex­ citement and rich food, their children are invariably sick. Children react to decorations so dress up the simple food and make a party out of it. Sand­ wiches seem to be the most popular first course and any simple filling is suitable, such as egg, chopped cel­ ery and peanut butter, dates and ground nuts, cottage cheese or mar­ malade. Ice cream is always a treat and then it is wise to keep it simple and not smother it with rich sauces. Decorations are in order and even a cherry or a bit of bright jelly is effective. Have you ever decorated ice cream or cakes with snips of gum­ drops? A birthday cake of course is a necessity. If you have a tastry tube it is a simple matter to make it pretty. If no, the name or whatever you want to use may be put on with mel­ ted chocolate and a toothpick. Animal crackers are useful as they may be used in many different ways. They may be put on the cake itself or the cake may be put on a large plate and a parade of crackers placed around the base. If the bottom of the cracker is dipped in icing it will stay put. They may be used as a table decora­ tion by dipping the bottom in icing and standing it on a square cookie or graham wafer. Then you can make a procession right across the table. Place cards made from wafers are easily done and the children enjoy them. Stand an oval cookie upright on a base made from a Square cookie and anchor it with a dab of icing. Write the child's name on the oval cookie with a pastry tube or a tooth­ pick dipped in icing. It is worth while doing a little fussing for the children as they enjoy the results so much. Fortunately the work does not need to be very exact as they are not harsh critics. Straw Flowers .Straw flowers make a lovely spot of colour in the house in winter but there is no denying the fact that they are awful dust-catchers.

Ask Your Doctor and Find Out Don’t Entrust Your Own or Your Family’s Well - Being to Unknown Preparations HRHE person to ask whether th® preparation you or your family are taking for the relief of headache® is SAFE to use regularly is your family doctor. Ask him particularly about "ASPIRIN.” He will tell you that before ths discovery of "Aspirin” most “pain” remedies were advised against by physicians as bad for the stomach, and, often, for the heart. Which is food for thought if you seek quick, safe relief. Scientists rate "Aspirin” among the fastest methods yet discovered for the relief of headaches and the pains of rheumatism, neuritis and neural-* gia. And the experience of millions of users has proved it safe for the average person to use regularly.
