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. The
two top storeys are down and soon
the foundation will be laid bare. Huge
piles of lath, plaster, bricks and lum
ber have accumulated during the
wrecking process, and these are be
ing hauled away rapidly.—Palmerston
Observer.

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,

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.

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. In
your own interest remember this.
“Aspirin” Tablets are made in
Canada. “Aspirin” is the registered,
trade-mark of the Bayer Company,
Limited. Look for the name Bayer
in the form of a cross on every tablet.
