He belonged to one of the oldest and most highly respected famil- ies in the province. He was the third eldest. son of the late George Compton and a grandson of Major Thomas Compton who was the founder of St. Elleanofs district and who by his efforts, did so much for the improvement and de- velopment of St. Eleanors in its early days. With the exception of a few years spent in the United States, when a young man, the late Mr. Comp- ton spent all his life in Si. Elea- nors. He was lame from a small boy but he bore his affliction with- out murmuring and worked on his farm in the best of his ability. Failing health and financial diffi- culties caused him to abandon the farm, and come to live in the vil- lage of St. Eleanors. Feeling crush- ed, his eyesight failing, his health gone, the burden of life was too heavy for his weakened frame. and his sensitive spirit took its flight. Fred a.s he was better known, was one of nature's nobleman. His hos- pitality was known far and wide. A good neighbor. a kind husband and father. and in sickness or trouble he was always ready with an extended hand to help both rich and poor. His host of friends mourn the passing of one of their best and most worthy friends. It was his lot to pass through the deep waters of nffllciion but we are told by a sacred writer that mose- that come out of great tribulation shall be ar- rayed in white robes and serve be- fore the Throne, ‘and he that sit- teth on the throne shall dwell among them and wipe away all tears from their eyes. These are comforting words for the bereaved ones. For with the rod of chastise- ment goes the precious promise of the fathers love. The late Mr. Compton was twice married, his first wife was Marie Munro of Georgetown who prede- ceased him somc thirty years 8E0. his second wife was Elizabeth An- drew of No. St. Eleanor-s. who with seven children survive him, namely. Marie, Edna, Eleanor. Sadie ill the united Bbrttes; Lilian, Clifton and Imlise at home. On the 24th 0i March a large crowd of sorrowing friends gathered at the home to pay their last respects to a. depart- ed mend and neighbor. He was quietly but tenderly laid to rest in St. John's Cemetery where he was a. life long member of the church. To the sormwing widow and fam- ily, brothers, sisters and relatives, heart felt sympathy is extended. (Other papers please copy) Ill MEMORIAM I DIR. DANIEL CANTELO Daniel William Oentelo.

A similar situation developed as in the shipment held up on March 13. “Customs authorities must insist on shipments being properly des- cribed in bills of ladlng.” a depart- ment ofiicial stated. "The present shipment was billed as scrap metal squares containing nickel. An ex- pert for e. railway company carrying the shipment to Halifax tested it and found it did not contain nickel. The shipment will be held up until the description is corrected." The question of sanctions or rev- enue did not enter into the action, the official said‘. Of course the authorities would check up to make sure the metal went to the port to which it was consigned, which was Hamburg, Germany. The delay at Halifax wmild depend on how 1on8 it took the shippers to correct the description.

P.)—The county library experi- ments in Middlesex and Lambton receive highly favorable comment in the annual report of the Inspec- tor of Public Libraries, F. C. Jen- nings. By the co-operative plan which is practised by the majority of the smaller libraries in these-two coun- ties, each of the member libraries h enabled to receive a selection of new books every three months. ‘These, when added to the llbrarys own stock of books, give to its patrons not only a wider selection butalso the opportunity to see the newest books. Miss Dorothy Carlisle, public librarian at sarnia, receives credit for having given the plan her full support when it was first projected for Lampton County. County lib- raries had been taled of for years but it remained for some group of people to sec what could be done and the Lambton library worekrs were the pioneers. Middlesex has since followed and fine assistance has been given to this second county plan by R. E. Crouch, the London public librarian. for attack. and the principal was helpless under a struggling mass of humanity when vice-principal Gow- er reached the scene of action and attempted to restore order.

Noting a. large percentafle 0f 6°51 for the Nova Scotia. Sanatorium at Kentvllle had been purchased through dealers, Percy C. Black‘ (Cons.

Cunard and Company, Halifax, to the san- atorium or any other Bflvemmflll‘ institutions. The government had bought some coal direct from the mines and some from dealers. Mr. Dwycr said. In that way they had bought some from Cunard. "There is nothing mysterious about that," the Ministed declared. "It is as clear as mud." interjec- tcd Col. Harrington. "As I understand it, the govern- ment sold the coal to Cunard and Cunard sold it back to the Silverfi- ment at a profit to Cunard." re- marked Joseph Macdonald (Cons. Cape Breton North). "That profit seems to be pure velvet." Time Element In Voting Considered inn-psi OTTAWA, March SL-The House of Commons committee reviewing Canada's electoral legislation today frowned upon a suggestion that the government be called upon to pay a substantial proportion of a candid- ate's election expenses. The view expressed by members was govern- ment already had e. big financial load to carry. Cost of electing mem- bers to Parliament should not be added. Just before the adjournment of the committee to meet at the call of the chair. some discussion took place on proposals to consider the time element when conducting elec- tions. Members stated in past elec- tions results i.n Nova Scotia were published in British Columbia be- fore polls in that Province closed. This might exercise an influence on British Columbia voters. Hours of voting might be "stag- gered” to get round this difficulty. or, as an alternative, opening oi ballot-boxes in the Maritime Pro- vince; could be delayed until voting on the coast was finished. Further consideration will be giv- en to the problem. l‘ ~. some; lllEi. of rim»- “aces iisuemsr- is In; PhADLWNEfnAH nxugoatkllgn nlcleiuggrlm. u nircomero ANY HARM serene we , » @651‘ THE Men mro rue ,GARDEN mo sunnouuo "m: sou e EE THAT ET An Open Window By Bob Moore and lohn Holes YOU VE GOT. voub semi R LEAVE some out 1'0 WATCH J-ms RAT- iDON’T "rausr um- mo newsman: wneu YOU HEAR rue SiGNAL-THREE sugrs-Lgr .TH§M HAVE EVERYTHIN UICK é? . v.“ ~ iUNDERSTNDCAPTAIN- é Mo cooo Lutxl LOOK, sous -rue roots ~ cnow caaeuass. , , THEY HARDLY EXPECT US.
