THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10th, 1932 Page F iv« VERNONVILLE November 8th, 1932 IN REMEMBRANCE OF 1918 A moment's pause -- But ah! it brings to me Remembrances of Pain, like dark Gethsemane, But through the darkness sounds voice to-night, "We died for Peace, that ye no more shall fight."

"WJe're very interested in a statement made by a Mr. T. Christenson cf London, Ontario, "who said, " If be had his, way heM do away with the money system." Is it possible that we have only dreamed that moneyless system came into effect long Mrs. Fred Darling and children visiting Trenton friends. A large number of friends gathered at the home of the late Mrs. Susan Turk, to show their respect of the kind neighbour who had passed away, and their sympathy for 1 ones. Although Mrs. Turk had quite frail for a long while, her came, as a shock, as' she had been able to be around her home until week previous. Kindly and quiet by nature, she was devoted to her two sons, James of Toronto and Bert of Vernonville, and to her young grandson Ralph, to whom she has taken the place of grandmother and mother, since the passing of his own mother, some six years ago. Mrs. Turk was in her eighty-fifth year, and was predeceased by her husband, the late Rich-ard Turk, three years ago. After a short service at the house, led by the Rev. A. J. Terrill, the funeral cortege left for Centreton, where church service was held. Interment in Centre-ton Cemetery.
