Ha will be greatly missed in the community but most sarZ-ly missed in the home where he has left a vacant chair that never can be filled. It is hard to understand why such things have! to happen. but God knows best, we bow before His will. To add to the sorrow of his death, Vernon left a bride to mourn her loss of lea than two weeks also his father and mother, one brother Elmer of French River, two sisters, Gladys. Mrs. John Hagen of Morlcton. Lois Mrs. Sheldon Stewart, Millvale. The funeral was held on Dec. 31st and was largely attended.

The funeral was under the direction of J. Andrews Hunter River. The pall- bears were Messrs: Edwin Hagen. Oswald Murphy. Albert Mcfnnis, Alvin Parsons. Eldon Parsons.

Ill MEMORIAM

OIL FOR LAMPS

Since September 20, when the power saving order from the de- partment of munitions and supply went into effect, manv stores, res- taurants and hotels in the power shortages areas of Ontario and Que- bec have resorted to using oil lamp; to brighten up the building fronts or mow cases for housewives as they do their evening shopping. A new order issued recently prohibited this use for oil lumps. The order stated f any building is already wired for electricity or gas lighting exterior or interior lighting by these means is out. The oil controller. however, sold that if there ls a power m- gas fail- ure the use of oil lamps will be per- mitted for emergency Vlzhting.
