PROTON STATION IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of Robert E Watson, who departed this life on Septemiber 14. 1932. A sudden change in a moment fell. Without a chance to say farewell.

Brothsrs and Sister. IN MEMORIAM WATSON â€" In loving memory ol n dear husband and father, Robt. E Watson, who departed this life Sept. 14, 1932. He bade no one a last farewell, He said good-bye to none, The Heavenly gates were opened wide, A loving Voice said, "Come." Often our thoughts do wander To a grave not far away, Where they laid our dear one. Just one year ago to-day. â€" Sad',y missed by Wife, Ada and Earl.

Across the border the lot of the guardians of the law is mort difficult and dangerous than in any other land- A robber entered a Toronto home and told a woman in bod to keep quiet.
