In the absence of Rev. P. Webster, Rev. C. Elmei Kenny of Owen Sound conducted the service in the Stayner United Church The pallbearers were A. N. Brown riuKe, A. Copson, J. Dunlop, F. Havf ton, D. J. Jones and P. McNabb. James Buckingham was the second of ten children, being the eldest son of John Buckingham and Elizabeth Cullicutt, early pioneers, who came from Cornwall, England, landing at Port Hope, Ont., and moving north through the woods to Holland Land- ing, where James was born Sept. 13 1853. After two years the family moved to the 12th Line of Osprey, where James went to public school and grew up in the Methodist Church (his home was the first church in the community). In 1878 he mar- ried Rebecca Ann Vickers and moved to Maxwell, where he soon became a class leader, Sunday school superin- tendent, member of the Quarterly Of- ficial B»ard, and School Trustee. Finally in 1910 the family moved to Stayner, and in 1925 entered the Unit- ed Church. Mr. Buckingham was an iadcpend- ent in politics, a member of the Or- ange Order, a promoter of every good cause in the community. He was a strong temperance advocate. President of the Osprey Farmers Milling Co., and organizer of the Banner Club. He was especially good to his fam- ily, like his beloved partner who pre- deceased him by three years. He made a special study of the Bible and was strict about family worship. He often said, "It is the example that counte, not what you say." .When the children were small, he was careful to furnish the home Aith good read- ing. Of a family of seven children, six survive, namely: Mrs. R. H. Wiggins and Rev. G. S. Buckingham of Chic- ago; Elijah of Maxwell; EtU, Mildred R.N., and Edgar of Stayner. Percy of Chicago it deceased.

Miss Jean iMcDonald of Durham is visiting her brother, Mr. Royden McDonald, and Mrs. McDonald. There may be one good thing about living in a (frought area. Apparently one needn't put anything aside for a rainy day. -r "Papa" and "Mama" have been banned for use m. Japan. Perhaps the little Japs are up-to-date and re- fer to their progenitors as the "old man" and the "old woman." Port Arthur report says that not ao able-bodied man is left on the relief list there, and of course any able- bodied man would like to get off a? soon as possible. Twelve hours after his arrest a Pontiac man was sentencel to from four to five years in prison for the theft of an automobile. Isn't that something of a record for justice ac- ross the border? By this time little Willie has read all the interesting stories in the new reader. New film produced in Hollywood has been banned in Germany because there is too much gun-play in it. Let's see, isn't that the country where there was an official killing of gov- ernment enemies a few weeks ago? Report from Edmonton says that the first snow of the season has been seen there. If Edmonton desires tc make itself popular with this section of the country it will do what it can to halt the movement right there. »«««< Small Advts. ♦ • » >»fo»ff»»adft»a»»»a»aaaa oaft*<i « « . ^ f ^ .i^.. ^.
