JAMES CONQHAN

—A pull of sadness was out upon the residents of Fortune and Truro when they learned of the passing of one of their dearly beloved sons in theperson of James N. Conc- han at the early age of 38 years. Jim. as he was familiarly known, was born in Fortune, P. E. I.. the son of Emanuel‘ Conohan and his wife Anne Tsssell. He was a. fine robust young man. I. credit to his parents and to his community. It was always said of him. "His word was his bond." Twelve years ago he and his wife moved to Truro, N. 5.. where he made‘ his home until the time of his death. He was a faithful worker and for the past ten years was employed . by the Canadian creosote co., which shows he was a servant worthy of his hire. Last April. he entered Truro hospital for treatment. No one re- alized that his condition was seri- ous, but he ‘had developed is serious blood condition which proved fatal On advice of his physician he en- tered the V. G. Hospital, hoping with the best medical skill that he might be spared, but all in vain. He was tenderly cared for by the nurses, his wife and sister Jean, but God willed otherwise and on Saturday morning, January 24th, his earthly career ended and his soul went forth to his heavenly abode. His remains were conveyed from Halifax to the Kennedy Memorial Residence. Truro, where funeral service was held on the following Sunday by the Rev. Earl Gordon. Then on Monday morning his body, sccompani " by his sorrow- ing widow and brother-in-law, was transferred to his former home in P.E.I., arriving in Charlottetown on Monday night. thence conveyed to the home of his parents, where a host of friends and neighbours awaited their arrival.

He leaves to mourn the loss of a faithful husband, a. kind father

widow (Dorothy Dixon), one daughter, Catherine, his father and mother, one brother William at home, and two sisters. Jean (Mrs. Norma Giliis) Truro, and Mary at home.

on Wednesday afternoon a fun- eral service was held at his home, service being conducted by Rev. Mr. Mc.Leod, after which the fun- eral procession, one of the largest seen for some time, wended its way to Bay Fortune Cemete y for bur- -ial. Hymns sung at Truro and Fortune were: "Abide With Me". "Now the Labourer's Task Is O’er.", "Does Jesus Care” and "Nearer My God to Thee”, -

The pallbearers were Frank Gal- lant. George Dixon, George Conc- hsn, Ernest Gorman. Haszsxd Gil- lis. Selers Jackson.

The floral tributes were many and beautiful, showing the esteem in which he was held.

You left us sweet memories. dear

Deeds of kindness entwine your name.

We know you are safer in Heaven

But we miss you, and love you the

same. Surrounded by friends we are lonesome, , In the midst of Joy we are blue- With a smile on our face we have heartache,

The Proprlety of Sobriety

"No one questions the proprie- ty of sobriety. It is obvious that soberness and total abstinence are good qualities in anyone. Mod- erate drinkers and confirmed al- coholics admire the teetotaler even though he may be a "dud" at the Party where liquor is served. It is not the drys who are on the defensive. No one yet ever was taken to task for.drinking water or milk. But when people begin to consume beer. wine, whisky, some folks raise their eyebrows and start asking questions. Alcoholics share the lime-light. and distiller: and brewers cannot escape public sobriety. It makes no apologies; it offers no defense, - it needs none It can speak in its own mind, a good conscience and sweet breath."
