The ap- proach has been repaired in an ap- parently satisfactory manner. x x » According to grapevine reports there is agitation to discontinue the teaching of French in the local public school. Many reasons are advanced and the main one seems to be that there is no apnarent result after approximately seven years of teach- ing, with the additional cost of the salaries of the teachers a close second. All these criticisms are worthwhile because they draw our attention to the subject of French and the object of its teaching. We would welcome any comments or letters on this or any other newsy subject. It is understood that any letters for publication must bear the name of the writer. OBITUARY COMMUNITY MOURNS LOSS OF JOHN MARK BOOTH The funeral of John Mark Booth, 123 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Booth, who passed away after a short illness, was held from the fa- mily residence to the church of St. Andrew's and where a large number of relatives and friends gathered to pay a final tribute of respect to his memory. John, as we all knew him, had in the 'teen age suffered from infantile paralysis and in later years this af- fliction brought about complications that caused his death. Left to mourn his loss besides his parents and one grandparent, Mrs. Mark Booth, is his sister, Mrs. Milton Payne, of Manotick. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Thos. McNaught, of the church of St. Andrew's and St. Paul's United and the pallbearers, all neigh- bors of the deceased, were: Edgar Young, Donald Boland, Chair Coch- rane, Stuart Moffatt, Eiburn Little and Jack Little.
