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 bride looked charming in a coe-
tum.e of flowered chiffon in pastel
shades With picture hat to thatch and
carried a bouquet oe Ophelia roses
and naaidea hair fern. The bride-
groom's gift to the bride was a cab-
inet of silver, After the ceremony the
wedding party motored to the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Lochwbod of

teeing decorated in pink and white.
Mr. and Mrs. Knox left on a honey-

Irene, daughter of Mr. and the late
Mrs. D. Carter, to Mr. William Knox,
of Hallett, when the young people of
the vicinity met in honor of Miss Ir-
ene, An address of .blessing and good
wishes wa> read by Edith Stoltz, The
event then took on a rather unique
feature when a gayly decorated .wagon
in pink and white transported a tnis-
eel anc+ous shower of beautiful gifts
into the living room. :Miss Irene re-
plied fittingly and the merry makers
with Winnie Howson at the piano
sang "For She's a Jolly Good Fell'oev"
and Edith Sto'Itz and Josephine Weir
delighted the gathering with their
duets. Two little girls then entered
the ream dressed as bride and groom
and sang "When It's Spring Time in
the Rockies," the whole assembly
joining ,in the chorus. The bride-to-
be theft served candy and wedding
cake.

AUBURN.
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'

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.
