The argument going on over at the window be- tween Meta. Eldredge, second typ- Lot, and Pinky Bliss, the Ediphone girl. sounded more entertaining.

"I don't care, if he only comes." Pinky sighed.

A chuckle echoed from the dark- est corner of that bare room. April Day. latest comer and young- est vieitor on the staff, had not. like Pinky and Meta, obtained the

privilege of a window desk. She had not seen Brown’: old battered Chev turn into thryard but she guessed why Plnky had removed her ear piece: ,why Meta was reaching in her desk drawer for her lipstick. ‘

lllliﬁ. MaoDONALD

The untimely passing of Anus Elmer MacDonald, who bacauo exhausted and perished in the heavy snow storm which he faced a: he endeavoured to reach his home. on Christmas eve, Dec. 24, 1947, was a severe shock to his family and cast a. depressing gloom over the whole community. The deceased had been employed with Gordon Shaw of Bracklw, and planned to spend Christmas with his parents. brothers and sis- ters at his home in Upper Mont- ague. Alarmed that he had not arrived home, his family and friends in the neighborhood set out to search. In the days that followed they were joined by people from all the surrounding countryside. It was s time of in- cessant strain a.nd anxiety for the family.‘ 0n account of the excep- tionally heavy snowfall, and suc- cess-ive storms, the continual search was fruitless until, as snow grad-- uriily disappeared, his body was found on Friday, April 2, about s half naile1rom his home. Elmer was born at Upper Mont- ague, October 29, 1925, son of Mel- vina. Nicholson MacDonald and. Daniel Malcolm MacDonald. His‘, whole life was spent at home ex- cept for the summer of 194.2, which he spent at Chance Harbor, N. S. Of a. carefree, happy and Joyful disposition, he was always a. fav- ite with his family at home, and his pleasant smile spread sun- shine wherever he happened to be. lli: death brought a second sore trial to his parents and family, as a sister, Kay, had only a short time before, suddenly become ill and passed away in August, 1946. Elmer. who was a. member of the valleyiield Y.P.U., was faith- ful in his attendance and willing to take part in activities of the Society. Those who were members of the Y. P. U. in 1946-47 will ai-

1&-huh Goodwill Week

WIND-ABO- May 1 — Pointing out to the world that the United Italics and Canada have lived as peaceful neighbors for more than 150 years, President ‘Pmrnan and Prime Minister King jointly declar- ed today that tihe unfortified boundary between the two cousrtries serves as an outstanding example of international good will.

‘The two Chief Executives. in ‘letters to Dr. Charles W. Arcnstrong, preside-nit. of Kiwanis Internatfoxial, lauded the friendship of their countries as Kiwanis clubs in near- ly 3,000 ‘communities prepared to observe United States-Canada Good Will Week from April 25 to May 2.

President Truman said ‘that. "Americans and Canadians are proud, not of the fact that they have never had a difference, but that their friendship has survived

idifferaioes amd has remained

strong.” He expressed the opinion that observance: such as United States-Canada Good Will Week have "greater significance today than ever before."

Citing the "long-standing and increasingly close friendship be- tween Canada and the United Statics," Prime Minister King de-
