Martin. Nurs - THE PORT PERRY STAR ggzres Authorized as Second Class Mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa PORT PERRY, ONT, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 19568 $2.00 per year. Single Copy bc. Four Port Perry Four Port Perry men were rescued | xt from an overturned boat in Lake 'Scugog on, Sunday evening by two Whitby residents who heard their cries for help more than a mile away. The rescue took place about three miles north of Port Perry dock, off Honey's Beach, about 7:16 p.m. Brought to Port Perry from the overturned boat were Dr. G. M. Ren- nie, brothers Jack and Mack Hope and Gordon Morrow. They told their rescuers, Bill Martin 26 of Brock St. S. and his cousin, Fred Martin, 19 of St. Lawrence St., Whitby, that they had been in the water a half an hour be- fore being rescued. The Martins, cousins, said they had! been playing badminton on the lawn "of Stan Martin's cottage on Highland Beach when they heard a cry for help. They stopped their game when they heard the first shouts for help, said Bill, and ran to the water's edge. Then they heard a'voice say, "this way". They looked north on the lake, he said, and saw a boat overturned with three men clinging to the bow, which showed above the water, about one- half mile from the Martin deck. The.two ripped the canvas covering off their boat, which had been put away for. the week, and sped to the overturned boat. When they arrived, said Bill Martin, they found a fourth man also in the water. "He was unconscious," said Bill Martin, "and was very blue. I thought he was done for." He said that four life jackets drifted in the lake within 20 feet of the boat. They pulled all four into their boat and headed for Orde's landing in Port Perry, leaving the overturned boat still in the water. On the way to the landing, he said, one of the Hope brothers applied arti- ficial respiration to the unconscious man in the boat, whom the Martins believed to be Gordon Morrow. They said- that they believed the capsized boat was a 156-foot outboard with a b50-horsepower motor. They were unable to say why the boat upset. The Martins pointed out that because of the lateness of the hour, there were no other boats in the vicinity or even in sight of the lake. "If' we had not heard them, I think they would have drowned," said Bill He credited one of the Hope brothers with saving Morrow's life by keeping his head above water while he clung to the overturned boat and by giving him artificial respiration as soon as Morrow was taken aboard the Martin boat. The rescue took place within a few miles of the spot where four Toronto Men In Water For Half Hour Before Being Rescued Obituary MRS. WILMOTT WALKER One of Port Perry's most respected citizens, -Mrs. Wilmott Walker; pas- sed away peacefully, at her home, on Tuesday, Aug. 26th, 1958. Fourteen months ago, she suffered a severe stroke, leaving an infirmity, which she had borne with christian fortitude. The loving care of a devoted husband, daughter and sister and many friends brought much cheer and comfort dur- ing her illness. She kept a keen in- terest in former activities until her sudden passing to her Eternal Rest.

Here was an example of christian principles nurtured in youth, finding ample expression in the hos- pitality of their home, loyalty to their church and community. Her leadership in the W.A. and W.M.S. was a guiding force and practical support. In 1941, they sold their farm to Os- wald Croxall,"and retired to Green- bank, then back to her home town, in December, 1951. In June 1952, they were feted on their fortieth wedding anniversary.
