“Prospects To Meet Braddock

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) NEW YORK. March iii-Madison Square Garden's sehrch for a heavy- weight challenger to meet James J. Braddock this year, predicated upon the prospect that Joe Louis will whip Max Schmeling and than post- pone a. championship bid until i937, took on three-ply proportions today. Purely for speculative purposes, matchmaker James J. Johnston, who has the champion under ex- clusive contract, listed the prospects in the following order:

(l) Jock McAvoy, the British belt- sr, who fights John. Henry Lewis for the American light heavyweight title next Friday night in the Gar- den and then sails for England to tackle the British heavyweight champion, Jack Peterson.

(2) Primo Camera, still “mud - ling along," under a long-term cou- tract io the Garden. '

Steamship reports, the office said, told of a. large stretch of ice 40 miles due cast of St. John's, Nfld. A heavy field of Arctic ice was 120 miles northeast of this position, the report said.

Reports of ice came a month later last year The coast guard, meanwhile, prepared to begin its annual ice patrol the middle of this month.

WHAT A HEADACHE!

PORT CREDIT‘, Ont, March 10-— Prom all parts o! Peel County there have been stories of the almost un- precedented water famine before the recent thaw. '

A well-known Streetsvillc woman was attending a party at a. farm home not far from the village. Dur- ing the evening, with no reﬂection whatsoever on the hospitality of the home. she develvPed “i “mov- ing headache. Later it became so painful she asked for a headache tablet to obtain relief. ‘I'll-e pill was readily provided. but more head- aches nearly resulted when a search revealed there wasn't half a cup- ful of water on the entire farm.

At the close of the program a box social was held. Mr. Wallace White was the auctioneer. Quite a snug sum was realized which will be used in the interest of the work of the King George Division of the Sons of Temperance. Just before the meeting was dismissed, petitions addressed to the two rep- resentatives of the local Legislature asking them to do all in their power to see that no change was made in the Prohibition Law and also to see that the present law was more strictly enforced-were circulated and very largely signed. The gathering was closed with the National Anthem.

Iii MEMORIAM

BADIE MAY MARTIN

It is with feelings of deep regret we chronicle the death of Sadie May Martin, which occurred at her home in Emerald on Monday, February 24th. 1936.

The deceased was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mai: Martin and was only sixteen years of age, she was possessed of s. cheerful disposition and made many friends.

During her illness she was fre- quently visited by her pastor. Rev. Firancis McDonald, and she died fortified by the last rites of the Catholic Church.

There are left to mourn the loas cf a kind and loving daughter, her father and mother; Adeline, Ray- mond and Clifford to all of whom sincere sympathy is extended.

A large number of people attend- ed the funeral on Thursday morn- ing when a High Mass of Requiem was celcbiratod by her pastor, Father McDonald who also per- formed the services at the grave, and the mortal remains wero laid beside those of her sister who died a little more than a year ago.

Thus Centre Town hostesses are always to be found at home on Wednesday afternoons, Sandy Hill on Thursdays, New Edinburghgand Rockcliffe another day, and so on. Monday ls set apart as "ofiioial," i.e., for the wives of the diplomatic and government services.

Ministers‘ wives have prollﬂiy the most trying times of any of the sessional ladies. Their visitors run into the hundreds. They cannot be expected to return all the calls so they have hit upon the device. in many cases, of simply sending their cards. But as a token of good-will and to climax sessionsl entertain- ment they adopted the plan, some seven or eight years ago, of hold-

member from the Maritime Prov- inces. There are always Mggdongldg galore in parliament. How they manage it is mewbat 0f s puzzle, but they set here just the some. em,- nx o'clock. For instance in the last parlia-

When a new Parliament is elect- cd the records show that the num- bcr of men coming into the oom- mons for the first time represent on an average one-third of the total membership, that is to say, seventy- flve or eighty.
