The district in which shewas born was at that time heavily timbered, with merely blazed trails leading to the market village, By -Town, and the pioneers were mainly: Scotch and Ir- ish immigrants. It was customary in those days for the male members of families to pack flour and other pro- visions on foot for distances of thirty miles or more through the bush coon try, This was also in the age of the family loom and family homespun's,As a girl the late Mrs. McLeodear- ied lunch to her ' Brother',' Thomas 53rlcDonald, who was employed on ronstr'ttctiott work oh the first rail - Funeral of Mrs. Margaret McLeod, Pioneer of Ottawa, Ont., District, Largely Attended in Weyburn The- funeral of .the late Mrs. Mar -1 garet McLeod of ` Weyburn, who passed away in her ninety-first year on Wednesday morning, October 14, at the home of her son, Albert B.

COMMUNICATION Mr. Editor:— I notice in the last issue of your paper a short comment on the time drawing near for Nomination and el- ection of Mayor and Aldermen for the year 1932. Yes, the time is short till such a thing must happen. Is it not about time that the business men should come forward and declare themselves willing to serve our town in a real business manner and en- deavor'to put this town back to where it was, not so many years ago (and without remuneration). Are there on- ly -eight men in this town who should hold office from yea rto year? What have the present Council, as well as the Councils of the past five years, done? Has the town gone ahead or not, ask yourselves. With the popu- lation shrinking, industrial buildings being torn down, vacant house star- ing us in the face. At the time of writing some 20 to 25 dwellings are empty, and cost of running the town keeping at high tide. I notice Timothy Hay said a few weeks ago there were some sixty em- ployees drawing salaries out of the Treasurey and if each salary was put down in figures you will find enough paid them to run a fair sized city. '\Thy have we to pay the high salar- ies we are paying to each and all, when the mechanic, the office help- er, the laborers and the heads of in- dustry have had to take a cut. Our eight nien faithful and true say we (will vette ourselves salaries, as well las keep our employees on at the high price. In the face of the depression and unemployment did those eight men •do the fair thing, Cut $5000 per year off the pay roll of the town and Yale will find the present employees will stick. If not there are just as ealaab,le men vho will take their place. Something nzitst be done, we can- not afford to be paying the long price any longer and 'something must be done to r•egaini our standing as a town of a few years ago. The only solution is for new blood to take hold of the affairs and wipe the present management off the slate, no matter how glowing they may' try and paint the work done. Did we get value for our money. Thanking you for the space of this short let- ter. I am, Ar Ratepayrer. P.S.—Wish to add the public ap- ,reis e theservices es of Reeve Mc- Kibbon t,. S 1C a Ribbon and his 'work through the County Council and think he should retain the position as Reeve, but the rest of our Council what about them (answer). We may not agree with all contain- ed in the above letter, but our col- umns are open to any havink any sug- gestions to make, and we will only be too pleased to publish' communica- tions in reply or any other of a con- structive nature, so long as no per- sonalities are dealt with.—Editor. BLYTH RESIDENT DIES AT WINGHAM. The death occurred Thursday mor- ning last in the Wingham Hospital of Mrs. Mary Sims, following a stroke of paralysis which she suffered about six weeks ago. The deceased was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Campbell of East Wawanoslt, near Belgrave. She was married to J. Tasker and lived a number of years in Hullett. Mr. Tasker predeceased her and some years later she married William Sims, then postmaster of Blyth. Since the death of Mr. Sims she had remained a resident of Blyth. The deceased was a member of the Queen St. United Church and was very highly respected. She was a great lover of flowers, her gardens being admired by many. She is sur- vived by two sons, John, in the, ser - i vice'of the C. N. R. and Bert, post- master of 13lyth; also one sister, Min- nie Campbell and two brothers, John of Hickson, and Harry on the old homestead. Thefuneral was held from her late residence on Saturday afternoon. W. M. S. MEETING The regular monthly meeting of the United Chure`h W. M. S. was held on Tuesday afternoon.

Wipon, Mrs, Gowans, i\]iss Bolt and IV[rs. Greer. The delegates who went to the sec- tional meeting at l elg•rave gave their reports. Mrs, Gilmour very ably gave a description of the :morning session and Mrs. Gowans gave avc a very inter- esting account of the .session held it the afternoon. Both reports- were much appreciated. Mrs, S. Davison gave a splendid address next, intro- ducing our Study Book "Korea, the Land of the Dawn". Among the won- derful things she told of these people was the fact that if the Bible was ta- ken away from Korea they could compile it entirely from memory. How much of it could we Canadians reconstruct? They love to pray! They love to give! They love to winless! Every Christian Korean is a Mission- ary. Christ is the "Light of the „. Woxld we should be His "Light ,g, Bearers." Mrs. Davison also gave a few point ed remarks on Thanksgiving and what it means. She urged to count up our Thank -You column and see where we stand. Master Jack Ross and Trevor Dav- ison sang "See the Shining Dew Drop". Hymn 118 was then sung, after the business session was over the meeting closed by all repeating the Lord's Prayer.
