In 1919 a mail steamer left Labrador for the south-west part of Newfoundland. A storm came up with incredible rapidity, putting the fires out, leaving the engines dead and at the mercy of the _waves. Finally the ship was washed up on a reef 150 yards from the mainland. There were ninety-three persons on board, some women. It was Sutherland and Mrs. Goodtello-w.icold, forty degrees below zero. On Flower, program and lunch mm" the shore hundreds had gathered, tees were also appointed. ADHESIVE Customer: some good? Boy: watching for the inevitalble break- ing up of the steamer before their eyes and unable to help. The sit- uation was explained to -Carlo. and he was told to go to the ship. Normally thesdog could swim 150 yards in two or three minutes. but ve times he was thrown back on ' erected and the ninety-three lives ' h the rocks and nally after two hours -of churning, gaining nby inches. he reached the ship and re- turned to land with the rope, al- most exhausted. A cable was -were saved. People all the world over were thrilled by the act of this dog and today he wears a magnificent collar and medal and a muzzle must never debase his mouth.

Pre-natal care of mo- thers was difficult to achieve in this city in the face of the scar-_ city of workers in the order. but public opinion was capable of securing a '-financial backing that would make the aippoint- ment of more nurses possible, she said.`- In Barrie, the pre-natal care given by our, Victorian Nurse has helped greatlyto reduce in- fant mortality. Public health is a public con- corn. The regular monthly meeting of .` the Guthrie Women's. Institute was , held at -the home of Mrs. G. W. . Besse, April 1l2. with an attendance of seventeen. It wa decided to give, : as is customary. two prizes to the . Oro Horticultural Society and one to the Oro Agricultural Society..al'so five dollars towards the upkeep of the Rest Room in Barrie. Mrs. J . M.

All enjoyed the current events by Mrs. Ronald Gilchrist. - Roll call was answered by a par- ade of the ladies wearing the dress- es made from flour bags. Much cre- dit is due the ladies on the beauti- ful ways the dresses were made. Anyone might "be proud to wear them even though they were made from flour bags. Mrs. Besse and Mrs. R.

He called his talk Poetry of the 'Sea or_a comment on the seafaring life -of Newfoundland, his own country. illustrated by readings. An account. was given of the famous seal-fishing expedi- tion which was described as the greatest hunt in the world. Ten or fteen vessels leave St. John and steam along the east coast of Labrador perhaps 300 miles un- til they meet the ice packs. On these packs or oes are hundreds of thousands of seal. It is the am- bition of every captain to be the rst to get a load of seal and re- turn to the harbor and thus win the sweepstakes. Each crew usual- ly numbers 240 men. Dr. Pratt asked his hearers to concentrate Ion one ship The Eagle. At dawn the captain gives the command to go over the rails. Each crew is divided into four watches of sixty each and they move off in four di- rections, each man with an ash ga . A blow on the nose with this gaff kills the seal in. this -unspeak- `ably cruel harvest. The seal was described by the speaker as the most intelligent of animals next to dog or horse, with instinct as marvellous as a homing pigeon. A mother seal will return with uner- I I I ` . ring wisdom to her bobbing hole ` of which there is one for every seal in that great herd. There are no marks `by which they can find ltheir way back as the ice is mov- ing all the time at the rate -_of two to four miles an hour.

Alliston I-Ierald-A life that exert- ed. a beneficial influence in an ex- tensive community came to a close Tuesday morning, April 17, 1928. when the demise of Mrs. George Shephard occurred at her home: few miles north of this town. Mrs. Shephard, who -was born in York county in 1845, had always enjoyed excellent `health and throughout the evening of her life enjoyed the com- panionship of family and friends. Her V death was due to sen-_ ility which had been evident to thosewho knew her intimately for some time. For about a month she had been confined to her bed. Mrs. S`hephard was one of the early residents in these parts. She was married in 1868 and commenced life with -her husband on the farm at present owned by N. G. A-pplegate. Later they went to the first conces- sion of Tossoronrio where they have resided ever since. Mrs. vShephard's connection with Wesley church of this town is of special- interest since she is one of the very few surviving women who belonged to the first Ladies` Aid, or whatever. the wo- men's society -was called at that tiime, and was present at the open- ing more than half a century ago. Throughout her life she continued her membership with this church. Mrs. Shephard was one of a gener- ation the ranks of w-hich are fast being depleted. `She lived through a period when communication over almost impossible and people had to depend on their own resources. They developed a friendliness that was little short of a family affec- tion and the hospitality they extend- ed on all sides is remembered as one ofthe finest traits of the pion- eers. Besides her aged husband Mrs. Shephard is survived by three sons and two daughters: Mrs. C. Cava.n- iagh, living in Oregon, Fred Shep- .hard in Toronto, Mrs. Albert Pad- ;dison of -Barrie, `Wilbur E. and Her- bert E., in `Tossorontlo. There are fourteen grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. The funeral takes place today. Service will be `held at the home at 1 o'clock after gwhich interment will be*made in the Union Cemetery `here. comparatively short distances was ` I .0IOIOIOIIIIOIIIIIIIOIOIOIOIOIOII I ` ' I.
