Shaw died peacefully in a down- stairs room of his house where he had lain unconscious for 25 hours.

A picture of Stalin looked down on him from the wall.

World-Wide Tribdca

World-wide tributes to the ge- nius of Shaw. the author of 55 plays. five novels and countless ea- says, poured into this little village which was his home.

President Truman praiscd him as a pre-eminent figure who "left the indelible print of his genius on a prodigious literary output during more than two genera- -tions."

Prime Minister Atilce said that Shaw. long a vocal socialist. ex- celled in many fields: ”As a critic. dramatist, man of letters. humorist. social revolutionary and prophet. he was our greatest en- -terlalner and teacher."

At the home of Conservative leader Winston Churchill. it was said he "learned with regret" of Shaw's death. Prime Minister Nehru of India said the death "comes as a blow.” Premier John A. Costpllo of the Republic of Ireland said Show never forgot his Irish birth and demonstrated many times his goodwill toward his na- tive land.

Dr. W. R. Inge. onetime gloomy dean of St. Paul's Cathedral in London-himself a frail and con- troversial philosopher of 90-said Shawls purpose was always serious and kindly. "his satire was never cruel."

Champion Of Youth

I-Iesketh Pearson. author of one of the better biographies of Shaw, said he was a "champion of youth in revolt against the shackles of convention." ,

But it was perhaps in this village of 90 people that hearts were soresf. The villagers knew Shaw not for his great plays or giant intcllect. but as a kindly old man who had lived a simple life among

At his cremation there will only be a few close friends. the nurses who attended him in his last hours, and his servants.

Shaw was a lonely man.

He had few relatives left. and the intimates of his heyday. were long since dead. .

Shaw had returned to his house three weeks ago from hos- pital after operations for a brok- en thlghbone--the result of a fail in his garden-and kidney trouble.

24.000 Additional Beds Provided In Canadiaiydospltals

TORONTO. Nov. 2 - (CF) - Health Minister Martin said to- day thas in the last 2 1-2 years 24.000 a ditionsl hospital beds - morc than 23 s day-have been provided in Canada through the construction of new hospitals and hospital additions.

"Hardly a day passes that I do not approve at least one hospital construction project somewhere in Canada." said Mr. Martin in a speech prepared for delivery to the On-iarlo conference of the Catholic Hospital Association in Toronto.

Since inception of the national health program in 1948. 322.500.- 000 in Federal funds has assisted in the construction of 300 badly- needed hospitals or hospital ad- diiions.

Money from the grants was pro- vidlng modern scientific equip. ment for hospitals. ssnatoria and clinics. About 2,500 more mem- bers were being trained for Can- ada's army of health workers and 2.500.000 more chest x-rays were being made possible each year.

"More than M-'o.ooo.ooo in Fed- eral grants has been expended or committed for expenditure on be-

half of Provincial health pro- grams." said Mr. Martin. He referred to a recent an-

nouncement that the Health De- partmcnt and the bureau .of Sta- tistics are conducting a glcknesg survey on a nation-wide basis in co-operation of Provincial health authorities.

"This is the first time that I study of this kind and of this magnitudhss been canted out anywhere in the world," said Mr. Martina "A sample group of .9. proximately 40,000 people in m..

Canadian families has been selected. and with their co-opera Ition. we will be able to gather for the first time accurate infor- mation on the distribution and in- cidence of illness. and other valu. able information."

Additional Reefer Cars Reaching PEI

72 additional refrigerator cars were on the way between Sack- ville and Prince Edward Island yesterday. 321 cars i1a:Jlng arriv- ed on the previous cv--nlng. The Canadian National -Railways is reported making every effort to keep the situation wall in hand. and to be prepared in take care of any qulckenrd rlemanrl ihit may; arise in the potato market.

To date this srason 401 cars have been shlppod by rail as against 625 for the same period last year.

It is expected that from now on all potatoes and turnips going by rail will use refrigerator C'IrS owing to the danger of a sudden change of temperature which could take place very quickly at this time of the year.

Victoria soldier on Emliarkatlon Leave

Private Lnwcli MacLcan of the 2nd Br. Princess Patrlcia's Cana- dian Light infantry is presently spending his embarkation leave at his home in Victoria. A son of Kenneth MacLcan, M.M., and Mrs. Maclscan of Victoria. Lowell is a veteran of World War Ii. having served about two years as a mem- ber of the West. Nova Scoiia Rog- imeni. In August of this year when the call went out for volunteers for Canada's Special Force, Lowcll again offered his services and upon being accepted was posted lo the famous P. P. C. L. 1. Al- though as yet the destination of this fighting unit is still unknown there is no doubt it will carry on iho splendid tradition established in past wars and it is gratifying in know Lowell and other of our Island boys are members of such an outstanding unit.

Lowell's many friends, as well as his family. are glad in have him with them for a while and when his leave expires the best wishes of all will go with him as he leaves to rejoin his Bnitnlion.

Heavy Sales Of Canadian Bonds Reported In U.S.

OTTAWA. Nov. 2 ICPI -- United States investors gobbled up Canadian securities so fast in Aug- ust that they led to Canada achiev- ing unprecedented net monthly sales of 853,000,000.

This was disclosed today by the Bureau of statistics in a report of international security transac- tions for the month preceding an- nouncement of the decision to free the dollar.

when the dollar was set free Sept. 30, officials stated that the main reason was the heavy pres- sure of speculative or "hot" money fiowlngt into Canada in such large quantities that they could not be matched by Canadian exports. Today's report showed just how vast this demand for Canadian I!- curitlee was. Practically all of Canada's bond and security sales in August -were made with us. investors. the Bureau said.

Renovation Of , catholic church At Vernon River"

St. Jnachimis church. Vernon River, was the scene of a large an- sembly recently when the first Mass was celebrated after a complete paint and repair job which tool: the best part of the summer to complete. Rev. R. V. Macxemie. rector cf St. Dunstan's College, was the ceiebrant.

The interior of the church. on very much the same pattern as St. Dunstan's Basilica. was complete- ly painted with I variety of colors mixed in beautiful blends to leave a very attractive appearance. The pillars were given a marble-effect finish. using white with a mottled brown running through at intervals. The altars are finished in white with blue trimming. The Stations of the Cross are finished in an ss- sortment of colors trimmed with gold. Even the big pipe organ looks like new. It received a 'beautlful light cak stain.

Earlier in the year the spire which rises to a height of some 150 feet. was painted a rich cream color. This color was also used to trim around the doors on the out- side front of the church.

The roof, foo. received a touch- iniz up. Replacing the old wooden shingles are black asphalt shingles. adding much to the appearance of the exterior,

This church. one of the finest in lhe community, is of brick con- struction and was built by the great pioneer priest, Rev. James Phslen of Ireland in 1807. It is said that Father Phalen designed the church himself. The brick for the church was made a short distance from the building on the Lake Verde road.
