The task of arm-waving orches- tra conductors has been made lighter since someone dreamed up the idea of making baton! of aluminum. This gave us the notion that aluminum bull- iiddles would be I lot lighter to lug around. But. sure enough.

WILLIAM DONALD COOKE

On Friday. Nov. 2, many friends throughout the Province were sad- denied to learn that William Don- ald Cooke had passed away to his heavenly home after an illness of four months in the Prince Edward Island Hospital.

The deceased was born in York. the son of W. H. Pope Cooke and his .wife. the late Gertrude Hodg- snn Currie.

During his lengthy illness, he was faithfully attended by his physicians, and tenderly cared fcr by special nurses and members of tire staff. He recovered sufficiently to return home for a short time. but was forced to return for fur- ther treatment. Advice was sought from the Mayo Clinic, but it was found that everything possible was being done here. i

During the lcarly Fall he made. wonderful improvement and great hopes were held for his recovery. He eagerly looked forward to return to his home and family, whom he loved so dearly. but about a week before his passing, he gradually weakened until the and came. All through his illness he never com- plained. and he faced the Great Unknown with courage. trusting in his Heavenly Father

Will. as he was familiarly known. l'-"(IS a man of upright and honest character, and possessed a friendly jnvial disposition. His ever-present clicerfulncss endeared him to all. both old an young alike. lie was elways kindly and considerate. tmrcfnrc had many, many friends. He was a faithful adherent of the United Church. and was al- ways eager to help in any im- provement for the betterment of the community. and was an ever- rtady source of help to anyone in need. AI-lls passing leaves a great blank in the life of the commun- iiy. Being a devoted husband. kind and loving father and son. he will be sorely. missed in his home. for here he shone for all the name "Father" means.

He was very interested in riflc shcoting and for many years was a member of the York Rifle Cluh. He was a keen marksman. and won several trophies medals and other prizes. It was chiefly thrmnzli his efforts that the York Indoor Rifle Club was organized. Will was also a great hockey fan and took much interest in the N. H.L games, and attended the local games when possible. He was a great reader of current happenings and could dismiss intelligently on world affairs.

For several years he worked on

the railroad. but gave up this po- sition to enter the employ of the P.E.I. Potato Growers' Association. where he was an efficient agent end had many customers. to whom he was ever willing to render as- sistance. He also farmed success- fully on the homestead with his father. He leaves to cherish his mem- ory, his sorrowing wife. the former Pearl Vessey. two daughters, Shir- ley. an employee of the Roval Bank, Charlottetown. and Elaine. at home: also his need father at home and one brother. John C, Charlottetown. I

The funeral. the largest ever in the community. was held on his Elsi: birthday. Sunday. Nov. 4th. from York United Church. The service which was very impressive was conducted by the Rev. Jolm Douglas. assisted by the Rev. Thos A. Wilson.

The hymns sung were: -"Forever W'.l.h the Lord" and "Safe In The Arms Of Jesus". A solo. ”Beauti- ful Isle of Somewhere" was feel- lngly rendered by Harry T. Vesey. Following the service. the remains were tenderly laid to rest in the adjoininz cemetery, beside those of his mother, who predeceased him 28 years ago.

The pail bearers were: Ernest D. Reid. James 8. Allan. Stewart MacFarlanc. Peter Proud, Lorne Vt-sey and Frank Watts.

The many floral tributes and messages of sympathy testified in the high esteem in which he was held.

Strange s But True

33 F. H. MacArthur

The natives of Mebenggd Island get their sweets from I wild plant called the "dracaena." which grows in profusion on the hill- sides. The sugar is found in the fibrous roots, and is equal in quan- tity to that attained from sugar beets.

There's a tribe of people in central Africa who believe that their deceased rulers are changed into lions - their dead bodies are taken to the forest. where they lie in state for some days. At the end of that time the corpse is sup- posed to burst and lo. a lion cub is born, containing the spirit of the dead king. The young beast is cared for till it grows up. when it is given its freedom with the wild lions.

These strange people also believe that at death the King's wives are changed into leopards. Fur- ther. the Bahima are of the opln. ior. that the spirits of dead princes

and pr! come to life again in the form of snakes. When the young snakes have issued from the decayed bodies, they are given a diet of milk and honey till they are able to fend for themselves. And. believe it or not. snakes nev- cr bite members of the clan.

The Ababru and other tribes of the Congo region fancy that when they "shuffle off this mortal coil" their souls transmigrate into the bodies of various beasts, and on no account would a. person eat the flesh of an animal of the parti- cular kind which he expects to in- habit in the next world,

It's a. gala day when one of these creatures pays a visit to the place where it formerly lived in. human form. It gets a big band from the living members of its family, and is wined and dined on that parti- cular food and drink which it likes best. But such in happy fate is re- served only for the "elite." The scum of the population turn at death into eels. and to render the change is easy for them as it is visible. It is customary to remove

the bowels from the corpse and toss 'em into a sacred lake. The eel.

that gets the first feed becomes the domocile of the soul of the de- ceased. .

At Ang send. a village of UP- pcr Burma, the river at a point above 3 small bridge swarms with fish, which the superstitious folk hold sacred. They fancy the fish are theiir dead kindred returned to life in flnny form. In former days the punishment of death was inflicted on anybody who killed one.

Slam has a quaint custom. namely: the appointment of a king for three days to take the, place of the reigning monarch while the latter rests from all his kingly duties. This temporary rul- er is known as King Hop. because he must stand on one foot the greater part of his three days rule. He is a sort of Minister of Agrl-. cultu-re whose very presence in the fields is enough to insure a. plent-I ful crop. All disputes about fields.i crops. etc., are his special respon- sibility. In payment for this ser- vice. King Hop can carry away

down to about the middle of the nineteenth century or later." Un- der the reign of the present en- lightened monarch this quaint

personage was largely shorn of,

temporary glory and relieved of the burden of his office; and no longer is he required to stand on one foot, although public opinion still expects him to keep his right boot on his left knee during the ceremonial hours.

The invasion of the West is gradually changing the ideas and civilization of the Hit. But it will take many centuries before the quaint customs of the East are en- tirely abandoned.
