Late Cora Hind Dr. Ella Cora Hind, 81, dean of Canadian newspaperwomen and a recognized world authority on grain and livestock, died on Tues., October 6th of a stroke suffered on the Mon. evening before at her home in the Gaspe apartments. Her death ended a newspaper career of 41 years, all of ^hich was spent on the staff of the Winnipeg Free Press. Dr. Hind had been in failing health for the past four years, following completion of a two-year journalistic trip to all the wheatgrowing countries of the world. She embarked on this tour at the age of 74. She had suf- fered from a heart condition for many years, but in spite of this dis- ability she underwent an operation a year ago for the removal of a catar act from one eye, wtih beneficial results. Ten days ago small clot from her failing heart blocked the main artery in her left arm, but the cir- culation improved sufficiently and little harm resulted. Monday even- ing a second clot became suddenly detached and lodged in the brain, instantly, loss of speech and com- plete paralysis of the right side of the body. She lapsed into uncon- sciousness from which she did not recover. During her recent illness she talk- ed hopefully, as ever, of a visit to the maritimes, searching for news- paper copy, although warned by her physician of the slender thread on which her life hung. Thus, she re- mained an inquiring reporter to the very end. Her death broutrht to a close a career unparalleled in the annals of newspaper history in Canada. From the obscurity of an agricultural re- porter, in charge of a ncwly-orpan- ized department in a young western newspaper, she rose to a point where she was regarded as one of the world's outstanding authorities on grain and livestock. She inaugur- ated a crop 'neneHion system and traveled countless thousands of miles, first by hrvrse ami buggy, then by automobile. Her prophecies con- cerning the annual grain yields ot western Canada were uncanny in their accuracy. Her final estimate eaoh year on the yield of western Canada was flashed to every country in the world and was rogar<W as authorit- ative. Her interest in all things agricult- Visit Nelson's Flog Ship, Editors Return Following the inspection of the Air Force stations, the editors were taken to one of the ports, where they had an opportunity to go over one of the destroyers. They also saw the training of the future heroes of the navy, and a parade of four thousand naval cadets. While with the Navy. they were taken to the "Victory," the flagship of one of England's greatest heroes, Admiral Nelson. This was the ship from which his ural brought her into intimate contact wilh agricultural leaders and instit- utions all over the world. She wa^ honored on numerous occasions by grain and livestock bodies and was the first woman given a ticket of admission to the trading floor of the Winnipeg Grain exchange, the larg- est cash grain trading centre in the world. Ella Cora Hind was born in Toron- to on Sept. 18, 1861. She was the third child and only daughter of Ed- ward and Jane Carroll Hind. There were two brothers, Joseph, who lied in Toronto in 1914, and George who died in Detroit in I860, leaving two daughters. Her mother died in 1863 when Ella Cora was two years old, and the three children were taken b^ their father's youngest sister, Alice Anna Hind, to live with their grand- father, Joseph Hind, on his farm in the Township of Artemesia, in Gre> County, Ont. Ella Cora Hind was educated firsl at home by her Aunt Alice; then whei 11 years old, in the public school known as "Springhill" situated on her grandfather's farm. In 1876 th< farm was disposed of and the family moved to the village of Flesherton where Ella Cora attended the publi -chool from which she passed he high school entrance. She attendee high school in the town of Orillia where in June, 1882, she wrote on th third class teachers' examination. Re turning that summer to Flesherton she found her foster mother prepar ing to leave for the "Great West" on the advice of two nephews, Joseph and James H. Jacques, who at tha date were squatted on the townsiti of the present city of Calgary. She and her aunt romained in Winnipeg where Ella Cora found her place on the staff of the Winnipeg "-Vee Press Later she became agricultural editor in which position she became worl< famous as an estimator of the West- ern wheat crop. Free Press. A candidate for parliament ex- claimed: "The people of this country must grow more wheat." "How about hay?" yelled a heck- ler. "Ilm talking about food for man- kind," retorted the candidate, "but I'll get around to your case in a min- ute."

Avion, Ont. amous message, "England expects ,hat every man will do his duty," was flashed as he led the 27 English ihips against 33 French and Span- sh ships at the battle of Trafalgar j n 1805. The visit to the "Victory,, will be described in greater detail n a subsequent article. Returning to London, conferences were held with Lord Woolton, Min- ister of Food; Hon. Arthur Bovan, Minister of Labour; Hon. Herbert Morrison, Minister of National Ser- vice; Hon. L. S. Amery, Minister for India; Sir Stafford Cripps, Home Secretary; the Hon. Brendon Brack- en, Minister of Information, and a meeting with the Hon. Winston Churchill in his office. It would be impossible to tell much about these meetiregs in one article so they will be dealt with later. All these con- ferences were arranged by the Hon Vincent Massey, High Commissions for Canada, who accompanied the editors on these occasion. During the last part of the time in England, vast underground factor ies were visited and also factories where aeroplanes and other supples were being made. These visits were also of great interest and the prob lems of housing, transportation, man- power etc., were closely studied. Those factories in addition to being of huge size, were just as up to date, and efficient as anything that could be found in America. A study of bomb damage took the party to Bristol, Bath, Portsmouth and other places which have been badly damaged. The lesson learned from these visits was that early preparation to take care of raids is essential if the damage is to be kept to a minimum. Canadian cities should carefully study the steps which have been found to deal suc- cessfully with raid damage. Before leaving England, th e edit ors had another opportunity of seeing General McNaughton, who again receivedt them in a most cordial man- ner and freely answered all theit questions. Although the government was pre pared to bring the Canadians back home, and the editors were ready to go, nature stopped in and ruled oth- erwise. Unfavorable weather prevent ed a take-off, and there was a week's delay in which each member of the party was left to explore whatever was of greatest interest to him. During the -week some visited many of the most interesting spots in Eng- land including Wells, Bristol and other places, while others visited such places as Stratford-On-Avon, Cardiff, Wales, Salisbury, Gloucester etc. But the beat of times joints to an end, and early one jnorn'ng they were off on their way home. First auto mobiles took them to the station, thtn a train carried members of the party to the embarking point and motor launches took them to Ireland. Aftei a stop of a few hours ori'y in Irelnn.1, they boarded the trans-Atlantic flying hoat and in a short time they were over the Atlantic. The return journey on a passen- ger plane was much more comfort able than the trip going over on a bomber. The passenger plane carries a crew of eleven, including an at tractive hostess who busies herself supplying the passengers with gum. magazines and cigarettes. She also serves the meals which are very pal- atable. The sight of white rolls, real opgs and other foods which they had not seen for over six weeks were tangible signs to the editors that they were getting near home. The westward trip is always slow- er than the reverse direction as in coming west the plane is meeting head-on winds all the time. There fore the journey, which took nine and a half hours' time going over, took seventeen hours for the return trip However, in the passenger plane there are berths so that it is possible *o sleep for a good part of the way The trip is nearly nil made above the clouda, but the passenger could not see the sunrise, which is usually a wonderful sight from a pla;uj, as the sun was directly behind them. One of the interesting sights from the plane is Prince Edward Ilaud, which is particularly 'beautiful from the air and rivals th* views over reland. Early Saturday morning the Can- adian editors were gently deposited at an Eastern Canadian port, thus Sringing to an end a trip such as has been made by few people and which will be remembered by them as long as they live. In the letter of Instructions which each editor received before leaving Canada, one sentence read, "You will b allowed to see things which few people have been permitted to see and you will be told things which few people have heard." This prediction was more than fulfilled During the six weeks, the editors travelled more than eleven thousand miles, made up of 1930 miles by bus, 1540 miles (by train, 500 miles by au- tomobile, 6400 miles by plane and about 4<M) miles on foot. This was the record kept by the writer and is probably the average of the party but some travelled even more than that by taking special journeys. After this brief outline of the trip, more detailed accounts of the various activities will be given in .-.rticles to follow. KLESHKRTON AND ROCK MILLS BAPTIST CHURCHES Frank B.
