Former Gorrie Boy Catches Large Fish One of the largest salmon ever caught in Saanich Inlet was landed on Tuesday afternoon, when B. C. Gil- pin, of Viking, Alberta, hauled in a 51- pounder near MacKenzie Bay. He was fishing with his brother; C. T. Gil- pin of Vancouver. They were using equipment rented from Harry Gilbert. At the time the fish hit, the brothers had stopped the boat and 250 feet of cotton line was hanging straight down in the water. Before starting their engine they de- cided to reel in and thought the hook had caught bottom. While his brother held the rod B. C. Gilpin reeled in the big red spring and after a struggle the fish was gaffed and landed. It was taken on a No. 7 superior spoon using 'six ounces of weight.—Clipped from Victoria, B C paper of June 10th. Born—In the Wingham General, Hospital, on Friday, July 12th., to.

Mrs. George A. Dane The community was greatly shocked by the sudden passing of an esteemed resident in the person of Mrs. George A. Dane, Mrs. Dane with the other members of her family was attending the celebration at Blyth. She passed Suddenly away while sitting quietly in her car, chatting with friends. Nine years ago, Mrs. Dane suffered a ser- ious illness and had never regained her former health. But although not robust she was around 'in her usual health and her death came as a great shock to her family and friends. Her maiden name was Annie Agues Arm- strong and was born on the 6th con, of Howick, near Forciwich, on July 1$77, the eldest daughter of the. late Edward and Angeline Weir Arm- strong, On January 10th., 1901, she was married to Geo, A. Dane. of the 12th. con, of Howicic, who, along with five children, survive, Lillian, Mrs. Lorne Walker, Gorrie; Nellie, Mrs, Alex. A. Taylor, 15th, con. of Howick; Evelyn, Mrs. W. R. Wilson, Ford- wich; George A„ and Margaret at home. Five grandchildren, Jimmy and Edythe Walker, Billy and Ruby Tay- lor and Phyllis Wilson. Along with her own family, who are left to mourn her loss are ope sister and four broth- ers, Mrs. Milton Leonard, Fordwieh; David of Belgrave; Marshall of Ford- wich, Robert and George of Saska- chewan. One brother, William, passed away in childhood, The late Mrs. Dane was a member of the UnitedChurch, Gorrie, a valued member of the W,M.S., and a life member of the Women's Auxiliary, which she attended faithfully when her health permitted., During the war years she was an ardent worker in the Red Cross, knitting and sewing hun- dreds of garments. Her fingers were never idle as long as the need was ap- parent. A loving wife and mother and a, kind friend to all who came in contact with her. She was always fhterested in her church and her community and willing to lend a helping hand. Her home was always open and many were the friends, who partook of her gracious hospitality. The funeral was held on Sunday, July 14th., and was largely attended. Her pastor, Rev. 1G. Howse, assisted by Rev. Mr. Caley of St. Stephen's Church, Gorrie, officiated. A short service was held at the house follow- ed by a public service in the church. Miss Jean Spalding, Gorrie, sang beau- tifully the solo, Beautiful Isle of Some- where. Interment took place in the family plot, Gorrie cemetery. The floral tributes ,were many and beautiful and showed the esteem and respect in which the late Mrs. •Dane was held. The flower bearers were two grandsons, and four little neigh- bour friends, Bob Brown, Billy Staf- ford, Glenn and Allan Underwood. The pallbearers were six nephews of the deceased, Jack and ,Cecil Arm- strong, Irwin McDowell, Edgar Dane, Lloyd Jacques and Robert Harkness.

PHIL OSIER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harry' J. Boyle The atom bomb popped off out there at Bikini and we're still here. At least we think we're still here. I saw Tim Murphy on Monday morning and he said, "I wonder if we're all dead and don't know it yet." Big Peter Lar- sen waiting for the bather shop looked up and in his droll Scandinavian way said, "If you were dead you'd be shov- elling by now Tim." , Folks around here were kind of ner- vous about the thing being exploded. There were a lot of funny stories go- ing around. People kidded each other a lot about it, pretending to be just fooling, but when you hear ,folks doing that it's a pretty good sign that they- re not resting too easy about it in their own minds. Waiting for chop one day a people .were complaining about the slowness of the old Diesel. They were suggesting atomic power, That in it- self was indicative of the way they were thinking. Most times internat- ional affairs and events don't bother people around here very much. They can toss the scariest headline in favor of how the crops are doing or whether there's enough sun for good corn wea- . then As the days came along and the zero 'how' got closer and closer you could notice a sort of tension amongst people. The widow Mallory,said that, men cattle in and paid up the interest on their mortgage without the least bit of reluctance. That two of them had been in arrears tor about three years, She's getting up in years so that the thought of art atom bomb doesn't dis- turb hefvery inttch. Just fire same she was grateful for the United States having staged it at this particular time, As' she said, "it saved me a lot of 'law- yer One of these touring preachers with a big tent came to Town Oil the Satur- day night before the stain bonito Went Off, Ne staged* what he called an "Atomic Revival". Well sir that fent GORRIE Mrs. Leon Moss and children, of Elmira, N.Y., are spending some time visiting at the homes of Mr. and Mrs. Anson Galbraith and Mr. and Mrs. Reg. Newton and other relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Percy Roseborough of Owen Sound spent the week-end with the latter's father, Mr. James King, also her brother, Mr, Walter King. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Short and children of Fergus were week-end visitors with relatives in town. Guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Hastie on Sunday were. Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Hastie and children, Walker Hastie, Donald and Heather, all of Toronto; Miss Jessie Elastic, R. N., of Philadelphia; Mr. and Mrs. T. J. McDonald, Molesworth; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Earls, daughter Lynne and Mr. and Mrs, Ira McLean, Marilyn, Donna and Murray of Wroxeter. Mrs. E. Hastie returned to Toronto to spend a week or so. Sunday visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Fred Taylor were Dr. and Mrs. Win. McCutcheon, Mr. Fred Riley and son of' Benvick, Penn., also Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Fullerton of Walkerton. Mr. and Mrs. FredTaylor spent a couple of days last week with Mr. Tom and Miss Beatrice Shearer, near Wroxeter. Mr. Harold Kiel was in London last week, undergoing a minor operation. Tommy Hastie spent last week with vices. A fellow can admit it now, hitt fan- tastic as it may seem, I guess we were all afraid of the corner blowing off the earth leaving it a bit lopsided so that it might just happen to jump off the track. The fear of the unknown is a terrifying thing. • We sat glued to the radio on Sunday afternoon. Neighbour Higgins was over and when that metronome that was on one of the Ships started tick- "THE FRIENDLY STORE" was jammed with people and they were certainly taking part in the ser- ing he started to fidget. „ Finally he whispered, "Phil have got any hard ,cider around?" •Patricia Ann tried to get a word out. We were all waiting say something but she couldn't even. for the big bang to come. Finally it passed over and we sort of relaxed and' Patricia Ann said, "Daddy-I-re —they going to blow the world up today?, That was a big joke then but it certainly wouldn't have been if she had said it a few minutes before that , , . .especially about the time of the ticking of the metronome.
