The Seaforth News, 1931-07-09, Page 2PAGE TWO THE SEAFORTH NEWS. THURSDAY JULY 9, 1931. MR. BENNETT IS SIXTY-ONE ,YEARS OLD TO -DAY (JULY 2) (The Mail and Empire.) The Prime Minister of Canada is 61 years old today, Boric in New Brunswicle, of a United Empire Loy- alist Ta'mily, he instinctively repres- ents the traditions, sentiments arse: loya'lt'ies of this gallant' original stoeek which settled in the Maritime Pro'v- 'inces and Ontario. And, what is :more, through th,a mi- gration of Maritime Province and".On- -tario folk to the prairies, these tradi- tions, sentiments and loyalties pre-' veil in that part of, the Dominion. A. surrey of the o'ntsltanding men in the pwbli'c life of the prairies ;tows that. the majority of them sprang from 'hack east." It is the dominance o'f this ,train throughout most of the D'omin'ion, together with the loyalty* of French Canada to the British Crown, which keeps this Dominion .inevitably and 'permanently British. Et is partly because of such facts -that the Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett, PSC„ LiL:1B., K:C., M.P. for Calgary West, represents the overwhelming mass of public opinion from coast to coast. ;He is firmly devoted to the task of 'carrying his native land triumphantly through the present period of stress and strain, staking it economically in- ' dependent of the great neigh'borin'g Republic and uniting it more firmly in 'ties of trade to the world-wide Em - Tire. of which it forms a part. Nor will most sane people think we :aregoing too far in expressing the opinion t'ha•t it is a veritable Godsend that he heads the Government during the present economic crisis. It indeed seems providential that a man of his trained skill in large affairs is Prime liinieter at this rime. He seems to have been raised tip for this special job. He has the vision and the cour- age to grapple with the grave prob- lems which still confront the country ---,partly an the outcome of universal • ;world conditions. He has just appealed for national anity in the conquest of these prob- lems, and we feel that on this, his 61st birthday, he will be overwhelmed Wath messages of congratulation. from •alis parts of the country - messages -which will incidentally, represent the confidence of the nation in his capac- ity for leadership during an excep- tionally perilous period. DANGEROUS PRACTICE 't'asoliue fumes are dangerous and people should realize this fact at •once. On Friday a gasoline truck was discharging its load of gas into a tank in front of a garage on Main ,•treet, Mitchell, The vapor or fumes re,ultiiag' from the unloading process were escaping from a "breathing" pipe which runs up the front of the building, At the sante time a man walkhtg out of the garage close to the pipe, lit a match to light a cigarette. Its an instant the fumes took fire and the blaze leaped to the breather pipe and :shat into the air. A chemical mixture was thrown on the blaze which was extinguished. It was a lucky thing that the truck was still discharging its load Of gas thereby for.ciug the air in the tank outwards, Had the truck Ilniisbed and the fumes beets drawn into the tank again, we hesitate in saying just what the dam- age would amount to. People should be careful at all times when lighting a match with gas fumes around.

The funeral of Joseph Lawson, a citizen of .Auburn for aver sixty years, wasverylargely attended, a trib'u'te to the esteem in which he was held' in this community: The deceased, a Son of the late Anthonyand.d. Sarah Lawson who cone from Yorkshire, England, was born in Goderich towel - ship ott the farm Wesit of tine one now occupied be- Andrew Shepherd of the Base Line. As .a bmy lee attended the Pub'li'c school at ,Su'mnnerhill and came . to Aubura When a b'oy of 16 to learn the hl teksimifhing. evith the late Rb bent Down, who not only_ taught hint the trade hut, latergave him heir dau- ghter Mary; in maraiage.After conn- pfeting his trade here Air. Lawson established a biac'ksan'i'th shop at the corner of .the 1111th conces's'ion of Hru.l'- le'tt and Base Line which he named Palestine and which was later opeeat- ed by Mr. Way. Later after living in Clinton and Stet t,uterhiil for seseeal years he returned to Auburn and for a �. long period owned and operated the b'l'acksmith elide ju'st north of the bank which he Pater converted into a livery and feed stabile and which was destroyed by the fire last fall. Being I a good mechanic' his services were al- ways in demand, espe'cia'lly in .connec- tion with the repairing of agricultur- al machinery at a time when modern welding methods ts'ere unknown. In later life when he found his trade too strenuous and beipg al'way's fond of horses die esta'b'lished a draying and teaming business. Being very fond of children several were nearly' always in his eonepany and 'he seldom made a trip without having some small com- rade with hian. Of a kindly and ac- commodating nature he performed many tasks gratis, for those needing. assistance. He was a member of the Independent Order of Foresters. The deceased always enjoyed good health until three years ago when he suf- fered a paralytic stroke. However, he recovered and again was able to enjoy Oleg- about un'ti'l about two months ago he suffered another crit- ical illness, His only daughter Clara:, Mrs. W. Moore of Cobalt, was called. to ,his bedside, but after a month his health again improved and she was able to return to her home. Mrs. Lawson predeceased her husband by fweiety years. Since that time he made his home with his only son Edgar. Judge: Tice traffic officer says you got sarcastic with him. Mr. Nagger: But. I didn't intend tlo be, He talked to me like my wife does, and I forgot myself and aa-, swered 'Yes, my dear' Large, lovely tapestry love seat, will sell or exchange for two occas- ional chairs, -Portland Telegram, Evening rates on "Anyone" (station -to -station) calls be- gin at 7 p.m. (local• time). Just give "Long Distance" the number you want'- it speeds rrp the service. If you don't know the distant num- ber, "Information" will look it up for you. Rita had to arrange her vacation trip in a hurry. A sudden turn of events at the office made it a matter of now or never . .. and Rita chose "now". After seven o'dock that evening (when evening rates over Long Distance were in force) she called her old school chum Helen to ask her suggestion as to the best place to go. "Wonderful", said the happy voice at the other end of the line after she had explained everything. "We are all going to Seabeach for two weeks tomorrow. Now you will be able to come with us." And so Rita spent the most enjoyable vacation she ever had, thanks to her call over Long Distance. And the cost of that call was less than the tip she gave to the colored poster. nieseaunaneeemneenteretterermalse
