Fob. 26 — Gaelic- apeaiking Premier Angus L, Mac- donald of Nova Scotia today faced one of his most difficult tasks since assuming office. A romantic Irish bachelor in New York who lost his Scottish love in Dundee several years ago has written the Premier asking him to find acme- where in Nova Scotia a red-headed girl who appreciates the bag-pipes (and speaks Gaelic. Years ago, the writer discloses in a confidential letter: to the Premier, he had a brie! and tragic love af- fair. The girl of his dreams died and for some time he refused to even think cf another. Now he was convinced he could find someone to take her place. _ Reading in an Irish newspaper that the Nova. Scotia Premier spoke Gaelic, he decided to put the mat- ter before him. The letter came addressed to “Mr. Angus Macdcn- aid, Gaelic Premier of‘ Nova Scotla." Here are the requirements, the lady must be under 20. with bright red-gold hair and blue eyes. She must be affectionate. She must be a non-smoker and "no animal lov- er." Plumpness was preferred to stature and above all she must “speak the Gaelic." She must love music-the bagpipes preferred. The write: says he has a good position in New York and dog not wish for any dowery or means for he has "substantial cash." - Tro ops Patrol (Continued from Page 1) surgent officers believed those as- sasinated had attempted to destroy national policy and were "sorrupli elements around the throne."

Mr. Heath Crosby stated, that about 120 years ago when the pop. triation was much smaller than it is today. the first bridge across the North River was constructed-Mg grandfather being the contractor. He also remarked that the people 0f Prince Edward Island took up the task with great ccurase and enthusiasm, so why can't we take up the new project as enthusiastic- ally and wumseovsly as they? It is easily seen that we people have been very unfortunate ,in making a detour to the City, some four or five miles for the last 120 years. Other supporters who spoke on the advantages derived from these bridgm were: Messrs. Hesse-i Mac- Nevln. Bonshaw. Seymour MacLean, St. Catherines, L. T. Benton and J. J. Melted. Bonshaw.

Whereas the construction of bridges across the North River from Brighton Shore and across the West River between certain points has been discussed freely in the press, and strong arguments pre- sented showing that these public works would be of great advantage to the people of the South Shore. And whereas these bridges would be an important link in the short- est route ‘between Charlottetown and Borden and prove of great ad-. vantage to the people all over the Province. And whereas they would Provide employment to a large number oi people who are in great need cf employment at the present time.

This mark of distinction is prized among Japanese above al- most all others. Recipients usually write in the flowing characters of the orient passages from classical Chinese or Japanese poems. In issuing this command the Emperor followed a precedent set by his grandfather, the great Em- peror Meiji, who was surrounded some of the greatest statesmen of Oriental history during the era in which he was establishing mod- ern Japan.

Preaehed First In Series 0f Lenten Sermons Ash Wednesday was observed yes- terday at St. Dunstans Basilica. Masses were celebrated at 8:30, 7 :30, and 8:15. The 7:30 Mas was a Pontifical Mass, celebrated by His 1716911900)‘ Bishop O'Sullivan, as- sisted by Rev. P. McMahon, Assist. ant Priest; Rev. G. P. Monaghan and Rev. E. Dalton, deacons of honor; Rev. L. Dougan, Deacon or the Mass, and Rev. W. McCardie, Sub Deacon. ‘The ashes were bles- sed by His Excellency and distribu. ted to the large congregation before the Mass. i At 7:30 p. m. the Rev. Thomas G. McMahon, C.S.P., opened the Lent- en series of sermons in the Basilica, using for his text the words used in the imposition of the ashes on Ash Wednesday, "Remember man, that thou art dust, and unto dust thou shalt return." He spoke on the cer- tainty of death, and the great un- certainty of its time and place. He impressed upon his hearers all that death entails, that it will come soon and will come only once. Upon the way we die depends our lot for all eternity. Father McMahon is an eloquent and forceful orator, and his voice filled the spacious Basilica, which was crowded to the doors. Solemn Benediction was given by Rev. Dr. McMahon, assisted by Rev. L. Dougan and Rev. W- McCardle. The music was rendered by the Corpus Cttristi Choir, under the di- rection of Mr. W. J. Brown. Mrs. Joseph Dougan was organist. After the service, the ashes were again distributed. ModernPioneers lleld At Border (C.

A THY 0f cheer was seen in the situation by Gennany-the hope that it might react against French ratification of the Franco-Soviet mutual defensive pact. French officials were planned lest workability of the pact might be impaired. Japanese businessmen in Europe, it was learned in Geneva, were 1n- stmcted to do everything they could to prevent a punle in Japan- ese securities. Exchanges in Tokyo and Osaka were closed.

URGE LAW IJORDS TO STOP BISHOP WHERCKING KIRK ‘ILOZNDON. Feb. 25—(C.P.)—<'l’.n addition to hearing appeals from the Dorninlons and India, the jud- icial committee of the privy council has occasionally to concern itself with litigation in connection with the Anglican Church in this country. The committee will shortly be called upon to hear a cause be- tween the Bishop of Iondcn and a. variety of bodies who are interest- ed ln the preservation of a famous city church, All Hallows, Iombard Street. The Bishop wishes All Hallows to be demolished, its site sold, and the proceeds devoted to the bulld- llig of new churches in the con- stantly growing suburbs of outer London. All Hallows is admittedly in a conditlon of utter disrepair; its resident population and its Sun- day congregations are neglibible. On the other hand there are var- ious bodies who consider it near to an impiety to pull down a church with such historic amoclations. It was built by Sir Christopher Wren, and its furnishings are certainly very beautiful. The Bishop and his advisers assert these could be re- moved to a. new church, which should bear the same name as the old, and in this way the sentimen- tal associations of the old church would be preserved. Nearly 20 years ago a neighbor- ing bani: offered $2,500,000 for the site of All Hallows, and the value in the meantime has doubtless considerably snreciated. The privy council a few years back gave judgment in favor of the Bishop when opposition was offer- ed to his plan to demolish the once famous St. Andrew's, Wells Street, and re-erect it at Neasden.

He was one of a group of students who assembled at half- past nine for'graph exercises-the most cordially disliked subject at the college. Each student was told to bring pen, pencil, rubber, dividers, pro- tracior, chaiks, and squared paper. Data was given on the rate of marching. The Duke's task was to prepare a graph illustrating certain movements, and to dedurc intervals of time between various regiments and brigades. A notice issued to instructors said that the object of the exercises was "to help officers who are not graphically minded. Those who are will probably chafe under time re- strictions, but they might be use- ful to help lame ducks." MORE INDUSTRIES SIVIALIETB.
