To Erect Statue To Bliss Carnia Stone to be Cut to Design Sketched by the Poet Saint John, N.B.—Dr. Lorne Pierce, of Toronto, biographer of the litre Bliss Carman, poet, is in New Brunswick in connection with a fitting memorial to the poet. The original idea of a simple tombstone has been extended to include a statue of the poet, Dr. Pierce said, Bliss Carman's grave will be marked by a stonecut to a design sketched by. the gifted son of New Brunswick dur- ing his lifetime. If present plans ma- terialize, this will be supplemented by a/statue. "It is perhaps not generally known that Bliss Cannan designed a simple' stone to be placed over his grave in' New Canaan," said Dr. Pierce. "The poet never dreamed that his native province and Dominion should one day' desire his ashes. •" Since the interment in the family plot at. Predericton, and the memorial Service in the cathedra., some progress has beet, made to place over his grave a suitable stone. Realizing that Bliss Carman's tomb will become one of our . national shrines, a rilonitinent has been worked out in careful detail, but in di- mensions more fitting to 80 distin- guished a Canadian."
