She was born at Darlingtcn the daughter of the late Donald and Margaret MacLeod but resided at Hunier River the most of her adult life. ;

Her husband. Mr. William Large predeceased her over forty years ago. He was section foreman on the railway and was stationed at Hun- ter River at the time of his death. To them were born five children. Two daughters died in United statos and her beloved only Ian Gordon died during the flu epid- emic in 1918. Two daughters. Miss Martha and Mrs. Arthur Robinso of Durham, N. H.. are left to mourn the loss of a wonderful mother and in their garden of memories her name shall always be fragrant and beautiful. -

she was nursed the whole period of her illness by her devoted daughter Miss Martha who cared for her most. faithfully and tender- ly. There are also left to mourn seven grandchildren.

Marked changes in the shoreline of Prince Edward Island due to the action of wind and waves. par- ticularly on the North side. are noted by I Government officiall who points out, from a comparison! of maps of today with those fifty years age, differences of as; much as seventy-five yards in the contours of the Province. sand gradually building up on: the shore, as it is cast from thef floor of the Gulf by on-shore wind. reaches its most pronounced. point of change at Tracadie Har-I hour. This is approximately in the. centre of the inward curve of the North Coast. It was here that the Acadia Hotel stood until it was burned approximately 50 years ago. but today the sand has hidden . all traces of the once well-known: structure. Standing over 400 yards from the shore. with a spruce hedge between it and the water. it is a phenomenon of nature which, now obliterates all traces of the hotel.

A little further North same harbour a crib was built. mlmy Wars ago on the waiel-'s edge, and fishermen couM anchor their boats close by. Although the crib still stands. it is now 50 yards inland. and a little further north almost 70 yards of land have been added to widen the shore and nar- row the harbour.

St. Peter's Harbour

Another complete change has taken place east; of Tracadie at St. Peter's Harbour. where the' mouth of the harbour has moved 400 yards further east. Whern the harbor mouth now is. sand dunes which were forty feet in height once stood. The former eniranre which at one time had 15 feet of water is now completely dry.

To the west of Tracadic chang-5 ing contours are somewhat similar but to a more limited extent. Har-t bours at Covehead. Little Rustico and Rustico have not actually closed up. but the depth of water. over the bars which obstruct. these harbours has greatly decreased. t About 36 years ago the Rusiico liar carried a general depth of 4 1-2 to 5 feet of water at low Spring tides. with a channel of from 9 to II feet. Today the bar is covered by about 3 feet of water. and at times it is difficult for the fishing boats to locate the shifting

boatway. These conditions of shifting sands are accentuated by the

clearing of timber on the shores of the Island. and the conservat- ion of moisture in the soil is neglected with a consequent lower- ing of the water table and ever decreasing supply from which feed the Island's rivers. The result is a decreased outflow to re- act against the

sand on the bars.

At liultlco Island

At Robson's Island. or Rustico Island as it is generally known, the sea has been eroding sand on the Western end. greatly increas-

high tide stages. This increased width at high tide has tended to reduce the general depth of the harbour. During the past five years an effort has been made to re- claim at least a portion of the is- land frcm the sea. and some suc-. cess has been attained by the judicious use of green brush. strategically placed so as to ac- cumulate the moving sands. These are placed in I manner that will which the sea cannot move, but at the same time are placed so that they will, to some extent. confine the course of the tides more nearly to their present position.

which in turn stabilizes the sand. This process is slow, but so far a length of almost 1.200 feet has been added to the western end of Robson's Island. The same method has been used in the centre of the island where the sea was making an effort to out the island in two. Sand dunes at this point have now been restored to their original of this brush

On the South Shore of P. E. 1.. little change is noted except for the slight washing away of the shore by the waves. and the breaking of the sandstone cliffs.by the ice in winter.

IN MEMORIAM

Mn. JOHN J. MacDoNALD

There passed peacefully away on Thursday, September 21st at his home at East Point. John Joseph MacDonald in his seventy fourth year. His death was a great shock to the community. although he had been in failing health for some time, few had realized how serious his illness was.

The late Mr. MacDonald had rallied somewhat after suffering a stroke in April but in August after undergoing observation in Sourls Hospital. he returned to his home, where he was confined to bed until the time of his death.

He bore his illness with Christ- ian fortitude and patience, his greatest fear that he would be a burden to others.

Having led an active life. his hands when he goes before God

ceremonies. Msgr. Finn will- preach. The Mass will be followed by a, dinner for the clergy which will be prepared by the altar societies of Lexington and Purcell. The honor of being the best pre- pared parish was announced be- fore 5.000 people by His nicel- iency at the Wednesday night mcetiilg of the congress. Father Mt-rsphy. a native of Tignish, P. E. 1.. was asked to rise and take a bow.

His two oldest sons predeceased him, James died at the age of three; Jerome was the victim of a drowning accident when he was eighteen.

The morning of his death his pastor Rev. E. J. MacDonald had administered Holy Communion to him as he had done at regular in- tervals during his illness.

shortly afterward he became worse. His daughter Marion and son George were immediately called home. He kept lapsing into
