At a meeting of the Cochrane Dis- trict C. A. S. executive last night, Mr. A. G. Carson was“ named as the new, local superintendent to succeed Mr. R. 'LeHeup, who has resigned to go south to enter business there. The resignation, of Mr. LeHeup was re- ceived with the greatest regret as he has proved an ideal man fan the work, and. beth as superintendent. of the work at Haileybury' and here has given the most talented and unselfish service. The diflieulty of filling his pace was recognized as soon as his resignation was received, but in Mr. . Carson it is felt that another ideal ; man he‘s been secured. Mr. Carson, who has taken much interest in C. A. S. work for some time past is well knOwn and highlyseste‘emed through; out the district.
