DIES IN ALBERTA
The following item from the
Independent of Stettler, Alberta,

L. Willis, a sort of the late Mr.

Death has claimed another of
the thinning ranks of Stettler's
pioneer businessmen with the
death of Charles L. Willis, which
occurred' early this morning
(May 10) in Stettler Municipal
Hospital after an illness of sev-
eral weeks. He was editor and
publisher of the Stettler Inde-
pendent since 1908, and was ac-

1874, and received his early edu-
cation there. He graduated from
the University of Toronto with
degrees of B.A. and M.A. in
mathematics. He taught school
until he started a weekly news-
paper at Sydney, Man., in 1905.
On June 16th, 1905, he pur-
chased the Independent from the
late Will ,Godson. His weekly
column was later to stamp him
as Basil Dean, publisher of Cal-
gary Herald said, "the most ar-
ticulate and forthright weekly
editor in Western Canada."
Mr. Willis played a foremost
role in this community. He was
a member of the board of Stett-
ler School District from 1912 un-
til 1952 and for most of these
years he acted as chairman; for
more than 40 years he was choir-
master of Stettler Presbyterian
and Stettler United Churches; he
was past president of Stettler
Board of Trade and also past
president of Stettler Rotary.
He was known throughout Al-
berta's golfing circles, and he
was a member of the Alberta
Senior Golfers' Association and
honorary president of Central
Alberta's Senior Golfers' Associ-
ation.
He is survived by his wife;
two daughters, Mrs. Isabel Me-
Caeller•nand Mrs. Kathleen
2lrnery, both of Vancouver; and
one son, Roy, of •Stettler. There
are also three brothers, James,
of Seaforth, Roy of Detroit, and
Frank of Winnipeg.
Funeral services were held
from Stettler United Church on

Weather and Prices
Reflecting lowered farm prices
and poor weather conditionst'his
spring, the sale of pure bred

ina one of the few good days.
Only 11 of the 26 head were
sold.
The previous sale at Bear
Spring Farms, six years ago, at-
tracted a crowd of more than

excellent prices were realized
for stock from this valuable Herd
of imported blood lines.

half what they were six years
ago", Mr. Devereaux stated.
