on Thursday morning, March 12th at her home in Lynn, Mass" the spirit of Mrs. Warren C..Ba.rt- lett took its flight to the great be- yond.

Mrs. Bartlett was born at Red Point, Lot 46, the daughter of the late Alexander N. Bruce, and his wife Catherine Cameron.

Leaving the Province in her early youth she settled in Lynn,, where she was married twenty six years ago but. never forgetting her Island home which she visited so often during the passing years.

she was a woman endowed with many admirable traits of character, having a simple and loving dispo- sition, ever ready to help smooth out the rough p‘aoes for others, and lend the helping land to those in need. Steadfast and devoted to her friends and relations she was loved sincerely by all. During her last illness, which she bore so pat.- iently and cheerfully, she was tenderly nursed by her sister in law, Mrs. W. 0. Bruce, who gave

her every loving attention possible. Those left to mourn are. heri

God bless those brave young miners who answered to the call, And left their home and loved ones,

They swiftly worked both day and night,

And risked their lives to save

From that dreary shut-in cave.

But God saw fit that one poor soul In that dark cave must die, I-I-ut haw sweet to know he let that tomb, For mansions in the sky.

Buried so deep in the depth of the _ earth,

God must have heard their prayer,

And tent those brave men to rescue

Of those wives and friends so dear,

As they waited round that shut-in care,

Some tidings to hear.

Through cold and rain those draegermcn

Burrowed their way along,

without rest or sleep for days and

nights, Till strength was alrnost gone.

But at last they are crowned with grand success,

The tidings round them flew,

Those words were passed from lip to lip-—

Thank God throuzhl

Wins Trophy

OTTAWA, April 26—For the first I

time in the history of the Domin- ion Drama Festival, a play by in Canadian has won the coveted Bessborough Trophy, highest. award of the nation-wide competition. An audience which last night jammed the Little Theatre here and

, out undertakings given

waited on tenterhooks for the an-t

nounoement heard Harley Gran- ville-Barker, festival adjudicator award the supreme prize to the

London Little Theatre (The Lon-'

don Drama League) for its pre- sentation of “Twenty—five Cents," by W. Eric Harris.

Applause greeted the announce- ment. The play, one of four Can- odian entries, had been given only a short time before. It was ii. final night presentation, 9. sombre, path- etic expositlon of the hardening, degrading results of depression and unemployment, The audience which included Their Excellencies the Govemor General and Lady Tweedsmuir, Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King, and other prominent figures in various walks of Can- ildliln life, had witnessed the per- formance of the winning play.

The festival adjudicator an- nounced winners of the other fes- tival awards, as follows:

several clarifying and other amend- ments to this, the bulkiest of all Canadian statutes, which was pass- ed after two years‘ consideration but not proclaimed.

Last week saw Labor Minister Rogers’ relief and farm rehabilit- ation measure for 1936-37 given second reading after considerable debate on unemployment and mon- etary problems and second readings for Revenue Minister Ilsley's amendments to the Customs Act, many of them designed to carry with the Canada-United states trade agree- ment. Both bills have yet to be given third reading before going to the Senate.

The bill to create a national harbors board, sponsored by Mar- ine Minister Howe, made progress in second reading but was not pass- ed pending further consideration of objections raised by the opposition to certain administrative features. '1'.‘-re board has been in operation since late last year. ‘

A feature of the week's develop- ments in the House was the refusal of Speaker Czisgrain to permit Thomas Reid (Lib. New Westmin- ster) to introduce a bill amending the Bank of Canada Act. Mr. Reid’s measure, defeated by the last Par- liament would allow the central bank to hold silver coin and bul- lion against its note issue and de- posit liabilities and to authorize issue oi silver certificates against silver held in reserve.
