Gerald Falconer Dies (By Our Eugenia Correspondent) We were very sorry to learn of the untimely death of Robert Stanley Gerald Falconer, second youngest of the six children of Mr. and Mrs. -Harry Falconer, now of Eugenia. Gerald, who was born in Durham, was in his 23rd year and wras a very highly esteemed young man. He spent his childhood days in Durham, where he received his public school â- â€¢ducation and also attended high school for two years. The family then moved to Windsor, where Gerald attended the Kennedy Collegiate for two years. Recently he became ill with pneumonia in Hamilton hospital and was later taken to a Toronto hos- pital, where he passed away on Mon- Barn Uoroofed In llhe Vagabond Farmerj Upper School Results ^ Heavy Local Storm r,.„ u,* mZn. .h.

Short ad- dresses will be delivei-ed by prominent speakers, reveille and Last Post sound- ed by the buglers. Wreaths will be laid- on the memorial by public bodies and by individuals. Following the unveiling breakfast will be served to the visitors at a small charge per plate to cover expenses and at that time more speeches will be given by prom- inent members of the Canadian Expe- ditionary Forces. While it means rising early that morning for everyone we are sure that the solemnity of the occasion warrants the attandance of everyone, and we are sure that the event will be remem- bered an a great event for years to S. S. Burritt Dies We stop the press to make an- nouncement of the sudden death of Mr. S. S. Borritt at Kimberley this Wednesday morning. Cause of death was presumably heart failure.

A very comfort- ing sermon was delivered by Rev. Mr. Halbert, assisted by Rev. S. Elliott of Eugenia. .•V large gathering of sym- pathizing friends and neighbors were present. Interment was made in the family plot in Durham cemetery. The pallbearers were: his two brothers, Harold and George, Elmer Harrison, Cecil Grant, Arthur Watson and Geo. Glass. Among the beautiful floral tokens were wreaths from parents and broth- ers and sisters, from Ted and wife, from Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Harrison and family, Mrs. Thos. Fentiman and son, from Isabelle Jnmieson and from the Eugenia friends, from Mr. and Mrs. Jim Falconer and Mrs. Ed. Kress. Friends from a distance who at- tended the funeral were: Mrs. Fenti- man and Staples, Miss Josie Falconer and Mr. and Mrs. J. Falconer," Toronto. Those left to mourn his loss are his sorrowing parents, three brothers, Harold and George of Eugenia and Ted of Detroit, and two sisters, Josie of Toronto and Louise of Eugenia. We extend our sincere sympathy to the sorrowing family in their sad bereavement. Just when his days seemed brigrhtest. Just when his hopes seemed best God called him home to Heaven, To that home of eteonal rest. Gone, but not forgotten.

The building was filled with the sason's crop which accounts for the fact that the building was not dissolved into kindling wood. As it was beams were broken and the structure twisted on its foundation. The steel roof, which was a new one. was completely torn off and scattered over the farm. one sheet of the steel being carried one and a quarter miles by the twister.

But when we got into the Canadian Rockies, where the air is clear, and the days are cool, where the streams are made for fishing, the (akes for boating, and the great moun- tains for climbing, we met a new civ- ilization entirely. The people wore different clothes, their automobiles iiad different names, they were on vacation. One man in an expensive note! in Banff would spend in a day ivhat a drought farmer in Saskatche- wan would receive in a month's relief for a family of ten. Even so. the people in Banff are human like our- selves. They are gay and sad. buoy- ant or depressed like any dirt farmer. We calKd on a Senator the other day. and spent forty-eight hours en- joying the hospitality of his mountaia home. On the first day I got my For feet wet, and had to borrow the Sen- ator's bedroom slippers.

Until something does happen the warned moterist is un- aware of what it is going to be. Many drivers do not give any signal. The code, however, is quite definite. To- signify a left turn, thrust the arm straight out. To signify a right turn, thrust the arm out and bend the elbow upward. To signify stopping, thrust the arm out and bend the elbow downwards.

Ranch we found the 1.000 acre property of the Duke of Windsor, the stables, the corrals, the main bun- galow, and the men's quarter, built and equipped in princely style, were desolate of life except for a Chinese cook, and two milk cows. The men were working on the harvest, and Professor Carlysle was away. In the stable the genealogy of some of the fine E. P.
