Their reports of conditions in interior Paraguay are confirmed by B. B. Dublenski, legal adviser i5 the emigrants. He said Men- nonite leaders now in Paraguay imi- urged that no more large gvgupg be sent to the new land until initial difficulties are sur- mounted end it is known ‘how first settlers make out.

The returned emigrants said a peat deal of discomfort suffered by many in the group bed bred disputes among them. Others were overcome with sickness.

Many emigrant families combed at vlilar-rics in tents for several months until a road was built through bush and swamp. They then moved on wit-h the aid of trucks and oxen.

The Enns said the mountainous terrain made it difficult for the Mennonites to make a new start in life

The returned families plan to start up farming again in the Al- toms district. They say they now wish to remain in Manitoba.

Spends Thirty Years Checking I Mystry Artist's Life

(By Robert Hewett)

LONDON. ‘Nov. l'7—-ICP)~—Did, Joseph Mallord William Turner. England's lame-d but eccentric master painter, really live a Jekyll-and-l-iyde existence after his supposed funeral in 185i?

A Bristol schoolmaster thought he did, although public records Show the great painter died and was buried that year in st. Paul's Cathedral.

For 30 ‘years Frederick Pickles. head of Si. George's School in Bristol, spent all his spare time in tracking down and trying to solve what he called the "myster- ious and baffling" story 9T Tum‘ er‘s life.

He ended ‘up Turner lived

years after ills "so-called death"

iin 1601 and left many unknown

masterpieces. Pickles kept his hobby to hun- seif during his lifetime. The strange story was disclosed re- cenlly in the will left by the schoflmnscr, who died last April at over so years of age. It was

.grected scclptically by art "rill!!!-

In his will Pickles wrote he

The schoulmustsus son, Ciroup Ugplom Kenneth F. Pia-kits, RAF said his lather never gave the family any details cf his investi- gations. A spokesman of the Na- tional Gallery sold the state- ments were “rather suspctrt."
