The end came like a child peacefully fall- ing asleep in its mother's arms. with his wife and members of his ‘family present at his bedside. He was born at Murray River 66 years ago but spent the Ihost of his life 1n his beautiiul farm at Dover where he finished his earth- ly course. As a good neighbour and Christian citizen he strove to oar- ry out the counsel of Paul to the Phillpisns and live “blameless and harmless as one alter the Son of God" and “shine as a. light in the world", devoting his life to his family, the duties of his daily cai- ling and the word and worship of the Living God. "Behold the Book whose leaves display Jesus the Life, the Truth the Way Read it with diligence, with pray- er Search it and you shall find Him there." m. Whitewa-y impressed the writor as one who took this advice to heart. He was a diligent and devout reader and student oi the Bible.

Canadian Press Staff writer) PARIS, April 20-Canadian Press Goblin-Hair always ruffled, “wal- nis" moustache aggressively curled, flowing tie flapping in the breeze, Louis Marin, Deputy from Nancy and. leader oi the Republican Fed- eration, is one of the most pictures- que personalities in the French el- ectoral campaign whchwinds up with balloting on May 1 and 8. In the comforting atmosphere of a banquet given by the republican federation over which he presided, M. Marin received a letter. It was from Pierre Laval, at the time Prime Minister oi France. “It is pleasing to me." M. Laval wrote, “to take this opportunity oi telins yion how much I appreciate the fidelity arid constancy or the co- operation which the federation and its elected merribers have always giv- en to me since I assumed the heavy duties of office." The gathering broke into loud applause. In the chamber, the group which corresponds to the republican fed- eraton is the republican democratic union, It is generally classified as the the main group of the right. The letter cut the rumors short. However, desirous Laval might, be of radical-socialist co-operation he evidently did not intend (so the letter was interpreted) to break with friends of the right. Political Paris buzzed with immin- ent crlsls. Rumors arose. died down, arose again. The letter may have played only a minor part. Be that as it may, within l0 days the radi- cal senate had defeated the Laval government on a motion of non- corifidence. M‘. Levels resignation was in the hands of the president of the Republic. So much for let- ters of appreciation. In the Chamber M. Marin is known alike for the ability of his speech and the fertility of his ideas. He was Minister for the liberated regions in the Poincare government. A. deep student of the constitution. an advocate of votes for women and senate reform, he would irfroduce more business-Ike methods into parliamentary work. He is strongly urging the eritente with central groups against socialism. "Goodwill," he holds, "does not suffice." The groups must set t gather, he argues. " Though long a resident of Paris, he represented the first diviaon of Nancy. Department of Meurthe-et- Mbselle. and this ia part of the "Marches of Lorraine" which know what foreign invasion and bomb- ardment is, which are insistent on the full realization of the Tardieu policy pf security before disannam- ent. When one thhks oi French nationslst‘ sentiment one automat- ically turns to M. Marin. Site ill- heaith forced former Premier Poin- care from the political field Marin has become the foremost protagon- ist of the "Lorraine School." Impetuous. thoroughly honest and outspoken. incapable of concealing his convictions for long, he is one of the stormy retrels or France's Stawiaoko, N. 5.. and the Misses public life.

The Canadian Pressr-Jrhe Port- land Vase, which is nearly 2,000 years old, is returning to the Brit- ish Museum aiter being nearly three years in the vaults of a bank. In April, 1929, the Duke oi Port- land, owner of the treasure, with- idrew it from the gold ornament, room where it had been for about a century, and it was put up for auction at Christie's. An exceptional‘ price was expected for it, but toi the general surprise about $150,000 was offered-far below the reserve‘ price and the vase was withdrawn. The Portland Vase is oonsldreed about 1,000 years old, and stands only 10 inches high. It was found ixua tomb near Rome. in the 18th century, and came into the Duke of Portland's family in 1784. COVENT GARDEN OPEN, LONDON GAINS OPERA. IDNDON, April 20—(By the Can- adian Presn-Iondon music-lovers heard the recent announcement that Ccvcnt Garden is not to be closed for the entire summer season. as had been feared, with considerable ‘relef, and there is a general glad- ness in the knowledge that there will be opera for at least four weeks. "The short opera season hu been de- cided upon shoe the statement was today by the publication of a cir- cuiar by the W. R. Jacobs biscuit manufacturing company, the second ‘largest individual employer of lob- ' or in Ireland, which amounted to a [virtual ultimatum that 1f the Free State acceded from the British Commonwealth oi Nations the firm would dispense with the services of 1,500 workers. or half 0f their stnfl’. The circular stressed that if the intention of the Republican Govern- ment to abolish the oath led to the secession of the free state, the com- pany's factors would riot be able to export biscuits t0 Northern Ire- land and Great Britain without pay ing import duties on their arr.val and therefore would have to trans- fer manufacturing to Aintree, Lit-er- pool. The circular created a delicate position for the labor members of the Dali, holding the balance of power between President Eamon De Velez-rs Republicans and the party 0i former President William T- Cosgrave. The iab~\r members are understood to have pledged their support to the bill abolishing the oath of allegiance, which wifd be in- troduced at the reasembl, oi the Dali April 20. The circular pointed out the fac- toryb products would also have to encounter import dutia in all Brit- ish domiriions and colonies owing to the regular diflerence in duties between members oi the common- wealth and foreign nations. “This portion of our export trade would also be transferred to our English factory. including the new and growing trade 1n biscuits pack- ed in air-tight cartons for Canada and other markets," the circular said, These changes would result in halving the output of the Dublin factory and making inevitable the proportionate dismissals. Garden would be closed for the sum rner, the latest announcement being that London, after all, is to have its opera this season-in German. “Owing to a. very widespread pub- lic demand. and better general con- lmrannhaitser," made not long ago that Covont ditioris." the Covent Garden Opera Syndicate announces: "It has re- co ed its decision, and is to gve a four weeks Wagner Festival at Covent Garden, beginning May 9." The following operas are to be performed: "The Ring," ‘Tristan and‘ Isolde," "The Mastersingers," and “The Flying Dutchmen." The conductors will be: Sir Thomas Beechman and Profes- sor Robert Hagar. The artists will include Frida Leider, Lotte Lehmann Maria Olszewsks, Iouritz Melchior, Fredrich Schorr and Herbert Jann- sen. The orchestra, chorus and many artists will be Brltsh. The present year marks the bic- entenary of the first Covent Gard- en Theatre. There was a wide ex- pression of regret when it was stat- cd earlier that there might be no Covent Garden opera this year-t.‘ first year of the opera subsidy.
