MRS. ALLISON MncEACIIERN

The funeral of the late Mrs. Al- lison Macliiachern, of New Argyle whose death occurred on May 22, after an illness of only twelve days, took place at her late home on May 25th and was conducted by her pastor Rev. J. H. Bishop.

The large crowd that assembled and the beautiful floral tributes from friends testified to the es- teem in which the “eceased was held. The day was beautiful and the bur- ial was in Argyle Shore Cemetery.

Mrs. MacEachern was the young- est ir- the family of the late Colin Macbougall. New Argyle. She leaves to mourn the loss of a devoted wile and mother, her i1 band, two sons and one daughter. Mary and John at home, and Sgt. Daniel attached t0 the H A. A A. Bly, Halifax, N. S. who was given leave during his mothers illness and remained at home till after the funeral, also one sister Mrs. A. N. Campbell, Canoe Cove and two brothers. George of Cambridge, Mm, and Murdock of Bedford Mass, George came home by plane to attend the funeral.

During her illness she was visited by her pastor, Rev. ' by Rev. T. W. Goodwill and by Elders of the Church of Scotland. To them and to her loved ones she ever expressed her faith in her saviour Psalms 23-46 and 116 which die loved to sing in those last days, were used at her funeral. , She was of a cheerful and kind disposition and her friends and neighbors always received in her home a most hearty welcome.

To her family (that inner circle) the bond oi’ love and harmony into wfhlch they had grown and ever lived, shall be a tie which shall bind their hearts to the eternal and though separated in this life they shall look forward to that reunion in Heaven, where sorrow and sadness is un- known and parting is no more.

fisheglnen thwho thaw stopped being use mgs o - come an army have been trained from their induction for this ino- ment. This is the begin-lull! 0f the real thing for which they have practiced. Their country, which they have become soldiers to d0- fend. is slipping away into the misty night and they are asleep. The place which will fill their thoughts in the months to come is gone and they did not see it go. They were asleep. They will not see it again for a long time. and some of them will never see it again. This was the time of emo tlon, the moment that cannot be replaced, but they were too tired. They sleep like children who real- ly tried to stay awake to see Santa Claus and couldn't make it. They will remember this time, but it will never really have happened to them.

The ship is a gray, misty shape, slipping through a. gray mist and melting into it. Over- head a Navy blimp watches over her, sometimes coming 1n so close that you can see the men in the little under-slung cabin.

The troopship is cut off now. She can hear but cannot speak. Her outgoing radio will not bet used at all unless she is hit or attacked. For the time of her voy- age no one will hear of her. marines are in the misty sea, ahead. and of the men on boardl very many have never seen thel ocean before and the sea itself is dark and terrifying enough with- out the lurking things. and there are other matters besides the fu- ture fighting that freighten a local boy-new things, new people, new languages.

The men are beginning to awaken now, before the call. They have missed the moment of part- ing. They awaken to-destination unknown, route unknown. life even for an hour ahead unknown. The great ship throws her bow into the Atlantic.

On the boat deck two early- riaing mountain boys are stand- :ng‘._looking in wonder at the in- credible sea, One of them says: “They say she's salty clear down to the bottom."

"Now you know that ain't so," the other says.

“What you nrean. it ain't so? Whv ain't. it so?" The other sneaks confidentally:

“Now son," he says. "you know there ain't that much salt in the wtgld. Just figure it out for your- se ."
