THE STRATFORD MIRROR PRAISE BE TO ADVENTURERS Many a man is kept back from dis- tinguished and rewardful achievement by his caution, says an editorial in Marketing. Caution is the child of|confidently, even though vision can- fear. Fear's parent is ignorance, but ignorance springs from laziness--men- tal and physical. Put before the average man a pro- posal or suggestion calculated to push him forward in the direction of his de- sires or advantage, and he'll resist it! He will oppose it with his "buts" in- stead of bounding forward, all eager- ness to clasp to him your good pro- posal or suggestion. It is this negative reaction of the great majority of men to the urg- ings of those who would befriend them which gives those of bolder spirit and keen ambition a clear road ahead--a road not blocked or crowd- ed by competitors. What is true of individuals is equal- ly true of business enterprises, Like men they are kept back from disting- uished and rewardful achievement by their timidity, procrastination, cau- tion and parsimony. because they are captured by men possessing the qua- lities named, they shun bold action, smother impulses to do daring things, and settle back into debilitating con- tent, They seem to imagine that mere busyness is #rogress, achievement, and success. They lack magnetic goals. Many a man, many a business en- i | terprise, can begin to make real pro- gress tomorrow by becoming resolute- ly adventuresome, facing the unknown not penetrate far ahead, even though errors o fdirection and a multitude of unforeseen obstacles will of a cer- tainty delay arrival at the goal of purpose, and will consume courage, faith, strength and resolution. It is the great adventurers whose names live in history. It is the great adventurers in business enterprise who have won might and fortune, Since these things are so, and obviously so, one marvels when one sees business enterprises, comradely with - caution, hugging harbours, and practising par- simony, the while imagining that this way progress lies. Enlightened and ambitious manage- ment should shed itself of men who decline to be adventuresome. BACKSLIDER By Eleanor Graham "Oh, Love,"-I said, "brings bitterness.

TWO FINE RESIDENTS ARE ENTERED IN REST Funerals of Mrs. Bamford and Levi Good Were Held in Listowel Wednesday LISTOWEL, April 21.--The funer- al of Mrs. Bamford, mother of the three well-known Bamford brothers, took place Wednesday. A_ private service was held at the residence at 2 p.m., the Rev. Herbert Naylor, pas- tor of Christ Church, officiating, as- sisted by the Rev. R. J. W. Perry, an Anglican clergyman from Streets- ville, Mrs. Bamford's birthplace. A public service was held in Christ Church at 2.30 p.m., the same two clergymen officiating, many rela- tives and friends being present. The Rev. Mr. Perry read the lesson, and the Rev. Mr. Naylor's text was taken from Proverbs 31, verse 27 and part of 28,."She looketh well to the ways of her household and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her chil- dren rise up and call her blessed." Appropriate hymns were sung, with Mrs. Large at the organ and _ the choir in attendance. The floral tri- butes were profuse and very wonder- ful, testifying to the high esteem in which the departed woman was held. Mr. Naylor's remarks dealt with the wonderful life of the deceased wom- an, her work as a mother, a friend to those in trouble, a staunch sup- porter of all good works at all times. The service was a most impressive one and concluded with the majestic "Nunc Dimitis,' asthe remains were being moved from the church.

A public funeral service was held in the Listowel United Church at 2 p.m., Wednesday, when the family and friends of the late Levi Good gathered there to do honor to his memory. The Rev. J. W. Robbins, pastor, conducted the service, which was solemnly impressive, and left a lasting impression on the minds of those present. A male quartette composed of A..W. Burbrigg;-E. S. Hudson, C. Blackmore and L. A. Fleming rendered "That Beautiful Land." Mr. Good had many friends, who sorrowed in common with k£he relatives; and the wreaths and sprays of flowers bore their mute evidence of the regard felt by so ) many. The flower bearers were Harold and Clayton Good, Franklin Bowman and Cecil Zurbrigg. Ap- propriate hymns were sung and a most touching and impressive ad- dress delivered by the Rev, Mr. Rob- bins. Interment was made in Fair- ) view Cemetery, the pallbearers being S. G., A. H., Wm,, A. W., M. F. Zur- brigg, and W. H. Good ,all being nenvhews of the deceased.
