TWO COUNTRIES, LAID AT REST ON MONDAY
The men and women of Canada
united in deep sorrow with men and
women of Japan as they received the
sad news of the passing on Saturday,
in Victoria Hospital, London, Ont.,
of Dr. A. Caroline. Macdonald, noted
missionary, following an illness con-
tracted in the Orient. For some
twenty-eight years Dr. Macdonald de-
voted her life and her great gifts of
heart and mind to the people of Jap-
an. ,
Three weeks ago Dr, ,Macdonald
returned to Canada from ° Japan, and
word of her illness came as a great
shock to her many ` friends and to,
members of the Women's Missionary
Societies of the Presbyterian Church.
and the 'United Church, both of which
supported her work in Japan. Dr.
Macdonald, who is survived by her
mother, Mrs. Peter Macdonald; one
sister and brother, all residing in
London, was the daughter of the late
Peter Macdonald,, at one time mem-
ber for Huron in the Federal House
and Deputy Speaker, later being ap-
pointed Postmaster in London, where
he remained until the 'timeof his
death.
The remains of the late Dr, A. Car
line. Macdonald were laid away in the
Wingham Cemetery, on Monday,
July 20th, amid a host, of mourning.
friends. The service was held in St..
Andrew's Church and was under the
direction of the Maitland Presbytery
of the Presbyterian Church in Can-
ada. Rev. John Pollock, Moderator
of Maitland Presbytery, presided.,
Those taking part were: Rev. Dr. J.
Nair, of London, "read the Scripture
lesson; Rev. Dr. A. E. Armstrong,
offered prayer; Rev. Kenneth Mac-
Lean of Wingham, preached the ser-
mon; Miss Bessie MacMurchy, of
Toronto, representing the W. M. S.
of the Presbyterian Church in. Can-
ada; Dr. D. Morrison of Japan; Dr,
W. M. Rochester, ofToronto; Dr. A.
J. MacGillivray of Guelph, and Rev..
Mr. Davidson, of India. Mrs. Wil-
ford of Wingham, rendered a beauti-
ful solo.
Half a world mourns .her 'passing.
Her work in Japan was of, such a
nature as to win admiration from all
people and of such a character as to
make an indelible imprint upon the
Japanese, and the writer doubts not
that next to her own family circle,
those who will miss her most are the
men, women and children , of the
criminal classes in Japan. Her soul
was big, her heart was warm and her
sympathies were extended to all.
Many and varied honours have
come to the late Dr. Macdonald. In
1925 the University of Toronto chose
her to be the first woman to receive
the honorary degree of L.L.D. The.
Emperor of Japan bestowed upon her
the Sixth Order of the Sacred Treas-
ure, and in 1924 the Department of
Justice presented her with a gold cup
accompanied by a certificate bearing
at the top the Imperial Crest: The
decoration she prized most however,
was a copper sen -one half -cent -be-
queathed to her in a formal will as
his sole earthly possession by a noted
criminal, whom she was .instrumental
in leading, before his execution, into
the peace of God.
As she sleeps quietly in her last
resting -place the hearts of countless
thousands offer up to the Most High
their thanksgivings for the work and
worth, the love and sympathy of Dr.
A. Caroline Macdonald. Truly a Prin-
cess in Israel has fallen.
The service at the graveside was
conducted by Rev. John Pollock and
Rev. Kenneth MacLean.
Some twenty-eight years ago the
late missionary went to Japan in the
interests of the welfare of young wo-
men. She responded to a very de-
finite requestwhich came to the

Storm Plays Strange Tricks
A freak storm which twisted an
erratic course through Melanchton
district; north of Shelburne, on Sat-
urday killed a horse, damaged a farm-
house and flattened a field' of oats.
The storm, accompanied by a minia-
ture waterspout, struck and wiped out
one flower bed on the farm of John
I(tfowles, leaving other beds' unhurt.
In a ditch that became filled with
water minnows were found. Light-
ning which struck telephone wires of
another farmhouse started a blage in
the building which was extinguished.

MAITLAND CLAIMS
ANOTHER VICTIM
Lindsay Bain, 14 -year-old son of
Mr and Mrs. Andrew Bain, of con-
cession 2, Grey Township, was
drowned at 3 o'clock Sunday after-
noon in a branch of the Maitland
River which runs through his par-
ents' farm, The lad,.who was unable
to swim, is said to have been caught
in the heavy current. Coroner Dr.
McLeod, of Wroxeter, was summon-
de, but decided no inquest was nec-
essary,
The boy was bathing in the
river
incompany with his younger broth-
er, Douglas, and the hired man,
when he is thought to have stepped
beyond his depth, Although unable
to swim the man made desperate ef-
forts to save the drowning youth, al-
most losing his own life in the at-
tempt,
The body was recovered half an
hour later in five feat of, water.
The Bain farm is located four miles
east of Jamestown village. The. boys'
parents were on a visit to friends in
Paisley at the time, They returned
two hours after the tragedy. Lindsay
is survived by six. brothers 'ttid sisters.
BAND TATTOO
COMMITTEES BUSY
'These are busy days for the Citi-
zens' Band Committee of the Wing -
ham Chamber of Commerce. The
date of the Band Tattoo, August 5th,
is rapidlyapproaching and final de-
tails for the programme are taking
shape under the skilful management
of 'the various committee leaders and
members.•
It has been decided that the var-
ious bands shall assemble in the Pub-
lic School • Grounds at 7.15 p.m. on
the evening of August 5th, and the
first' band will march off at 7.30
sharp. The parade will march down
John St. to Josephine and up Jose-
phine to the. Town Park Short in-
tervals will elapse between the com-
mencement of each band from ` the
school grounds, but it is expected
that all bands will be in their place
in the Park at 8. p,m. Mr. Alf. Pos-
liff as .chairman of the Parade Com-
mittee and this veteran master of cer-
emonies will be responsible that all
goes well in this part of the'; pro-
gramme.
It is expected that every merchant
will pay particular attention to de-
coration in his store windows, flags
will be prominently displayed and
lights will be left on until after the
programme is over.' It will be an ex-
cellent opportunity to create a favor-
able impression on the minds of the
many visitors who will be in town
for the 'occasion.
The prize Radio which is valued at
$99.50 is on display in The Walker
Store Window. Every admission
ticket to the Band Tattoo, and they
are only 25 cents each, carries with
it a chance on the prize radio, The
lucky ticket will be drawn at the park
during the Tattoo programme as one
of the feature 'events. Tickets are
for sale by all members of the Band
and at the Walker Store and Hydro
Shop. Many citizens are buying four
or more tickets in the hope of hav-
ing the lucky number,, knowing well
that if they are not successful they
and their friends at least will have
the pleasure of enjoying a wonderful
evening's entertainment as well as
giving support to one of our town's
most deserving ' organizations, the
Wingham Citizens' Band.
The programme will be of suffic-
ient variety to please all comers.
Specialty numbers will be interspers-
ed through the evening's entertain-
ment, delightful and pleasing, they
will provide against any chance of
monotony or similarity of numbers.
The performance of massed bands
will be a spectacle to remember,
while the Grand March Past will
arouse' the enthusiasm of the most
conservative.
Awe inspiring and colorful with the
ominous roar and rattle of an artill-
ery,.duel will be the display of fire-
works. Easily worth the price of ad-
mission alone, this display operated
by an expert from the manufacturers'
headquarters, will draw crowds from
miles around.
Living up to the policy of the
Chamber of Commerce of giving in
its entertainment, big value for small
admission, the Citizens' Band Com-
mittee is trying to outdo all previous
efforts.
The Committee in charge of the
sale of tickets report that they are
finding a ready response and that
this year's Tattoo bids fair to have
the largest crowd that ever attended
a like occasion here. The names of
those working on the various com-
mittees are given below.

The devotional exercises were con-

The departments of work taken up
by the County Women's Christian
Temperance Union are the follow-

ment, Little White Ribboners, Medal

The reports :of these eighteen de-
partment superintendents gave evi-
dence that splendid work and satis
factory progress had been accom-
plished.
An impressive memorial service
was conducted by 'Mrs. A, T. Cooper
and Mrs. Williams for members who
had passed to higher service.
The executive for the following
year was elected Honorary Presi-
dent, Mrs. J. Gardiner, Kirkton; Ad-
visory President, Mrs. A. T. Cooper,
Clinton; President; Mrs. A. E. Lloyd,
Wingham; 1st Vice -Pres., Miss J.
Murray, Exeter; 2nd Vice -Pres., Mrs.
Wightman, Blyth; Cor.-Sec'y., Miss E.
Murdock, Hensall; Treas., Miss M.
Bailie, Goderich; Rec.Sec'y., Miss A.
Consitt, Hensall; L. T. L. Sec'y., Mrs.
G. Johnston, of Goderich.
An invitation from Goderich Un-
ion for next year's convention was
accepted.
During the afternoon session a
happy interlude occurred when Mrs.
G. Johnston, of Goderich, was .pre-
sented with a County Life Member-
ship Pin.
The first speaker of the afternoon
was Miss J. Murray, who in her tis-
ual, capable manner, gave us a con-
densed report of the World's Christ-
ian Temperance. Union Convention
held recently in Tpronto. The sec-
ond speaker was Mrs. J. Gardiner,
Kirkton, wito so vividly pictured to
us the conditions in home, commun-
ity and nation, brought about by the
use of alcoholic drinks.
The following resolutions were
brought in by the resolution com-
mittee and adopted by the conven-
tion.
1. We believe in total abstinence
from the use of alcoholic liquors as
a beverage.;. We urge upon every un-
ion systematic instruction in the ef-
fects of alcohol and other habit-form-
ing drugs, that being fore -warned of
the danger in the use of alcohol as
a beverage, the people may willingly
accept total abstinence as their rule
of life.
2. We record our gratification
that public opinion throughout the
world is rising': in favor of peace, that
reason, not force, arbitration, not bat-
tles. A world court, not war, are be-
ing promoted as a means of settling
disputes between nations: We are.
convinced that thefuture of peace
and co-operation between nations
largely depends on the result of the
First World, Disarmament Conferen-
ce to be held in London in February
1932 and on the measure of its suc-
cess in securing agreement as to the
reduction of armaments.
3. We are opposed to any method
of dealing with the liquor traffic
which puts the government in the
business of selling alcoholic liquor.
We are opposed to any system that
