She is very concerned just at the moment that Preston will forgot to buy his new cap for Sunday and her sick in bed and not able to look after things. Mrs. Reeves is a very remarkable woman for her years, for with the exception of a slight attack of the flu which has laid her aside .'or a few days, she has had no real sick- ness for over 35 years. Mrs. Reeves eats her three meals each day an. takes quite an interest in the affairs of the family and the outside world. Mrs. Reeves came to Summerside on New Years Day from Carleton, Lot 6, where she had been living for over fifty years. She drove to the station, a dlstanco of about three miles and made the rest of the jour- ncy by train from Coleman to Sum- mcrslde, arriving none the worse for her trip. She iivea with her youngest son Prastzln, in the pretty new cottage he has built at the north east end of the town, and is lovingly cared for by her daughter-ln-law, Mrs Preston Reeves. It was unfortunate that when a representative of The Guardian called to see Mrs. Reeves she was feeling rather tired and not able to talk to visitor , as more of her his- tory could have been gleaned from her own life as her son ‘said. his mother had a remarkable memory and would often tell them of her early life and how the farmers lived when she was young. "Not like they do now, running all over the country in motor cars." although the old lady did not mind a ride in one of "them things" herself if the driver went slow, and for several summers came down from the west to visit her granddaughter.

(By Bnrdetfe '.l‘. Johns Aaocciafcd Prela Staff Writer) norfnon, May l0—'1‘he portly Duke of Manchester as he gloomily paoed a jail cell tonight after be- ing sentenced to nine months im- prisonment for fraud in pawning the ljewols Of his late mother ad- mitted ruefully “my trouble is l have been a mug-I am not quite sure! am glad I was born a Duke." Pound guilty in Old Bailey of obtaining $3.250 under false pre- tenses, the 59-year-old Duke, ninth holder cf the ancient peerage, was taken immediately to jail while his attorneys attempted in vain to secure the noblemmfls release on bail pending an appeal. "My trouble is I have been a mug." he said. “My one regret in life is that I was never allowed to go in business when I was a boy. People think being a Duke musi be great fun. Wil, it has its ad- vantages but I am not quite aura I am glad I was born a Duke." The Duke, whose first wife was Miss-Helen Zimmerman of Cin- cinnati, 0., took slight solace iron the fact that for the first time ill years a beleaguering host of cred- iiors was unable to get at him in Brlxton jail. He admitted under cross-examination today there had been 0'! petitions against him and a number of judgment summonses. "I have been so broke I have only just been able to pay for my valet‘s meals," he said. Reminiscing, the nobleman re- called he once challenged thr former Crown Prince or Germany m a. duel. during a row in a May- fair Hotel over a beautiful dc- butarlte. "I called the Prince a very rude name and offered to give him satisfaction in Germany but His Royal Ifighness did not seem to take kindly to my ‘sugges- tions," he asserted. , The Peer denied any intent to defraud when he pawned the jewels belonging‘ to the estate of his mother. He received the verdict without emotion and walked slow- ly away to the jail cell. During the prosecution's ques- tioning the Duke disclosed thai the family gold heirloom plate was pawned by his mother. "What happened about that?" asked the prosecutor. "It's still there (in pawn),' ro- plied the Duke. When his attorney asked if he had any intention to defraud the nawnbrokers, he replied “absolu- tely not." He maintained he thought he was a tenant for life of the jewelry, left by his mother, Consuelo, Duchess of Manchester. ‘the former Consuelo de Valle o1 Ravenswood, Louisiana. He said. money coming to him from his mother's estate in Am- erica is a discretionary allowance which his creditors cannot touch and sfi he was “always in trouble" with trustees of the fluncl. The Duke contended he paid in- terest on the pledged genls and kept insurance up with the pur- pose cf redeeming them. He was charged with receiving loans total- ling filbO-about 9250-011 jewelry the prosecution said belonged to his mother's estate but which he represented was his own. The Duke has been ilailed info court in Montreal and New Yo-k on financial difficulties as well as in London. Soviet Flag Incident On CraiserProbed (A.I'.
