m MEMORIAM

MRS. AUSTIN LAIRD

Th’ plssirr: of 111-5, Austin Laird. nee HCilhGL Ling, of Cavendish, B. short time 11:0 1s vcry 119E131)’ fell’ by B large czrcio of neighbors, rela- ‘flvfiw zmrl fxwwzlcis. She was the wife of Amt n lxurd, n. very widely known. flltgi successful farmer in the: sew ‘m1. For nearly two years Mrs. Laird bud boon troubled with angina. ptcitlris, or heart trouble, and nitfinurh cv-“rjcthintt Dffilble ‘G335 (imlc for hm‘. that dread dscasc finally took its toll on Sunday morning, April 24.

Silo was the youngest in the family of the late Jacob and Sarah Ling of New Glasgow. In addition to hcr husband, she leaves three sisters and mo brothers. Her sis- tcrs, Mrs. Fred .7. Kcliaway of Dor- chcslcr. hfnss, Mrs. Albert A. Walk- cr and Mrs. JOSPph Hearne of Auburn, Maine, were with hcr for about a month be- fore she dcd. Her brother, Horace H. lives on the old homestead at Nmv Glasgow‘, and Herbert A. re- sides at Drlnvcrs, Mass. Tilis is the first break in this happy and de~ voted family of six.

The funeral services were con- ducted at her home by the Rev. J. Bshop of the United Church, Cavendish, and Rev. William Quigley of the Cllrlsllnn Church,’ New Glasgow. Mrs, Allan Wyand sang vol-y impressively and sympa-l thcticnliy "Crossing the Bar.” 'I‘he' many beautifully floral tributes from both individuals and soclet'es In New Glasgow and Cavendish at- tested the high esteem in which the departed was held. She was laid to rest in the Cavendish Cemetery, the bearers bong Messrs. William Green, Wesley Smith, John Clark, Ernest Iiouaton, NeIsOn MacDonald, md Cnel Laird. _

While still in her techs Mrs. Laird became a member of the New Glasgow Christian Church during the pastorate of ihc Rev. Donald

Crawford, and remained loyal to the 0nd. Even while absent in Massachusetts for twelve years, she ltlll retained hcr membership in the ilmncland church, and after her nnrriagc eight. years ago, resumed uct vn work in the church of her lirlhosd.

She looked on the bright side of

scores of friends and relatives. who;

been more devoted marl Lcndcr to her own sister, or tohcr mother, than she was to Mrs. Laird.

It seems passing strange that in the whirligig of time a wmnnn, such as Mrs. Laird, who had so much to

held her in the highest esteem, a

“ | church relations, dozens of real

neighbors, and yet at the early age

of forty-eight she had to leave it

all. This is something our finite

minds cannot understand, but some

day, we are told, these mysteries

will be revealed and the whys and rvhereforcs of life and death will be made clear. It pays to live a worth- while life so that when the end docs come there will be no regrets.

Canada Gains In Immigration Wealth

OTTAWA, June lB-The wealth trend of emigration and immigra- tion so far as Canada and the United States are concerned is now ndays very much in favor of Cann- da, according to a. report issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics today. This is a complete reversal from the situation of a short time ago.

In the fiscal year, 1923-4, the value of settlers’ effects from Cn- nada to the United States was $9,846,000, and from the United States to Canada $4,788,000. Dur- ing the fiscnll your 1931-2 the value of settlers‘ effects going to the United States from this coun- try was $3,296,000 and $7,595,000 from the United States to Canada.

Gains $4,290,000 ' The loss of wealth in settlers‘ effects in l923-4 was 35.058000 the gnin in wealth in 1931-2 was $4,299,000. _

Canada in the month of April imported more than three times the merchandise from foreign countries than she purchased from British Empire countries, accord- ing to official reports. The imports from foreign countries wet": valued at $23,340,562, and from British countries $6,453,734. ’

Canada sold in April less than twice the goods to foreign coun- trics that she did to British Em- pire countries. The exports to for- eign countries totullcd $l'1,5.'i4,42fi

Many were the food fmcs the neighbors and Iricnds had at her "nme for they always found a. welcome there. Mrs. band's latch string was always out.

clothing and luxuries are at a pre- mlum. Thus. the reports of the men who have visited that part are not so good. In Southern Rus- sia, ltowever, matters are different. The ground is rich and yields good harvests, there is no bitter weather and the people do not suffer from the extreme cold like those of"tho' North. -"'~ ' All lncomin, Ships Must Pails n

Cronstadt '

Before entering Leningrad, all ships mu t. pass Cronstadt, _the great bulwark of Russia and her chief naval station. Cronstadt is located 16 miles from Leningrad and is strongly fortified by every- thing known to military skill. The pilot boards the incoming vessel at this point, and, on the way in, the ship passes several “battle wagons" at anchor. The colors are dipped in a friendly way and the boat steams towards Leningrad, which is visible far out with its spires and domes cutting the city up. Not far from Cronstadt lies the Carr's yacht which isa pitiful sight us it stands alone and in a. sad state of deterioration. Even from the ruins one can easily ima- gine the gaycty and celebrating that W08 once held aboard her. It has long since been striped of its valuables, even to the brass, leav- ing only the iron and wooden hulk. Approaching the breakwater of Leningrad, the pilot shouts the mime of the ship and where it is foreign. ’ other words Canada sold more- merchandise to British countries than she purchased, and sold loss to foreign countries than she bought.

This feature of the exchange of mods wns brought about largely by the trend of the trade with the Ultlted States._ Canadian purchases nf United States merchandise were 66.30 of the total imports when” the export of Canadian merchan- rlisc to that country was only 4.80 of the whole. ,

‘The summary shows thnt Cam»,

dian imports in April from forelgr countries were 7034 per cent. o the whole, and from British coun tries 21.66 per cent. The perccrltng of purchases from foreign colln tries was considerably higher than the average for the past l2 months which was 74.34 per cent.

The trains are similar to those used in other European countries. The box-shaped cars have a door for each seat, no middle passage down the car. Sometimes you must waft two or three days to secure s. seat on the wellpatronizod trains after purchasing your ticket. Pass- ports are needed to travel from one town to another.

though the Soviets have the larg- est army in the world! more are wide places in the Siberian part of the country that have rarely been seen and explored. Russia"s army is probably the best cared for in the world. There‘ the army comes first. The Russian soldiers in the North wear ' long, thick, warm coats, reaching to the ankles. The army would suffer if any war broke out near Japan, for there are few and small railroads across that wide and scarcely settled Si- beria.

Home Life Different ’l"han In America

Home life in Russia. is much dif- ferent than ours. Indeed, many Americans would not call it "home” life. Several families live in one flat, Aoneor two rooms to s family. There is little furniture in Russian homes; the little there is, is very poor. Every home has a radio, one of, those old fashioned horn sf- fairs. But the government has its sharp eye on the one or two sta- tions. All the progarmmes are pro- , IfllldBr-GVGH the music! There are squawking horns in every pub- lic square, and they all have the same programmes. There are no curtains on the windows and no rugs on the floors. 'I‘l-le stoves are like those in Sweden imly not so pretty and clean. They are brick and are built into the wall. In the regions around Ieningrarl and Moscow, the law does not allow any fires before the middle of No- vember, although lt is often cold before then. The fires are almost wholly of wood and this law is to save much of the lumber to ship away. The wood, although pur- chased. usually has to be carried home. It isn't sent to the house as here. Most of the. houses are wood —in fact, all of the dwelling hous- es are wooden. Stone is scarce: most of it must be imported. That is why the Russians are proud of their statues, especially Itqnilfs Tomb in Moscow. ‘This great red and black stone monument, with Lenin's preserved body in a glass case in full view, attracts a contin- uous stream of pilgrims. They pass in silent adoration before the body which, to the sight. is the same as the day he died.
