Ebenezer, Deé¢. 31.--Three regu- lar services were held 'at Ebenezer on Sunday last with - Rev. C.-C. Washington in the pulpit both morning' and evening. He gave two excellent Christmas sermons which were thoroughly appreciated by all who heard them. An open session of thei Sunday School was held with an excellent program. The review of the quarter's lesson was taken by our former superintendent, Mfr. R. BE. Osborne and was very interesting, "indeed. The remainder of the pro- gram consisted of 'The Chimes" played by Miss Hazel Rundle, a piano solo by Miss Sadie Muir, a Christmas reading by Master Glen Pickell, a Christmas song by the Primary Department and Christma: exercises by the Junior Girls' Claes and five wee tots from the Begin- ners. This made an excellent pro- gram as a change from the regular session. A collection of $15.00 was taken in aid of the Sick Children's Hospital, Miss Myrtle Montgomery, of Tor- onto, was a Christmas visitor with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs, W. H. Nichols. Regular monthly meeting of the Ladies' Berean Class will be held ou Thursday afternoon of this week in the Sunday School room. The pro- gram which 1s in charge of Mrs. Charles Osborne's group, is sure' to be good and a good attendance is hoped for. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wright and family, Providence, spent the week- end with relatives in this commun- ity. Ohr sympathy was again aroused when death entered another home of our community and took from our midst an old and respected man in the person of 'Mr. John Walter, Sr. He passed away on Thursday last af- ter a painful illness of several months. The funeral, which was held from his resiGence on Sunday afternoon was largely attended by friends far and near who came to pay their last respects to the one who was gone. Rev. C. C. Washing- ton conducted the service at the house and at the grave in Ebenezer Cemetery where he was laid to rest. .The Mission Circle meeting for December was postponed until the January meeting. Many -from this community spent Christmas in other centres and many from other places returned to Ebe- nezer to spend the best day of the vear at the old home where many happy years had been spent in ehild- hood and youth, NECROLOGY 1926 : (Continued from page 11) 20--Clement K.

The result of the mandate from a num- ber of employers in Detroit, Buffalo and Cleveland, and the government it- self, is the return to Toronto within the 'past month of a number of young men, including two Canadian war vet- erans, who had been working in a United States arsenal, according' to Superintendent W.'S. Dobbs of the Employment Service of Canada. Factory Clean-Up "A general overhauling of factories in the United States seems to be in | f progress," " said Mr. Dobbs, in dis- f cussing 'this phase of the employment situation. "What is happening is that employers 'are giving foreign workmen the opportunity of becoming citizens or losing their jobs, and it appears that there are a number who would préfer to return to Canada than live in the United States. "When I questioned a number of young men during the past month who had not applied for work from the service and who were returning from the United States, they told me they were offered the alternative of becoming a citizen or losing their jobs. I have heard the explanation fifty times within a short while," declared Mr, Dobbs. "It seems that a general t t S lowed by a surprise program in charge of Mrs. Thos. Baker.

She had started her business on nothing, hiring a toolmaker to exe- cute the designs she originated and gradually the business grew so that it is estimated her estate is worth "at least $500,000.

"To be more explicit, they say that the Chris Moeller seizure heralds costly 'litigation, which with other { hazards of the business, would finan- | cially ruin exporters and make the game not worth the candle. They are up against heavy cxpenses south of the international boundary, they point out, and if confronted with the same situation here there will be no profit in the business. "When exporters "speak of emulat- ing practices of Amcrican liquor en- forcement authorities they mean that the latter seize, for example, a rum running ship 20 or 30 miles out 'at sea, where she has a legal right to be, and then expensive lawyers which in the end break the morale of the owners.

Angeles, Cal, Dec. 31. -- Eli S. Kelly, 69-year-old fisherman, gaunt and enfeebled, told a coroner's jury a story of adventure at sea unrivalled here in many years. ec was exoncr- ated of responsibility for the death of his companion, James S. McKinley, 63, strips of whose flesh Kelly ate to sus- tain life after the two had drifted tore than eight days in a 21-foot boat and the younger man had died of thirst and exposure. Kelly, himself near death, was picked up on Santa Catalina Island, where his boat drifted three days after McKin- ley's death and taken to a hospital. His clothing hung loosely on his big frame, for he had shrunk from 210 to 120 pounds since he and McKinley set out on their first and last fishing trip together. The two embarked Dec. 8 from Re- dondo Beach. When they had reached a point 16 miles from shore the engine went 'dead and they were never able to start it again. A storm broke over them before they were able to hoist sail and huge combers deluged the small craft. "McKinley was a clumsy man -- a big fellow, and he couldn't handle him- self very well" Kelly said in explain- ing how his partner had fallen in the boat and broken one of the gallon water jugs. Water Meant Life "I knew our life depended on the little water we had in those jugs," he continued, "but I couldn't convince McKinley of that. He drank on the first day out all but one pint of the water we carried." Kelly's description of the days that followed shocked the jurors. McKin- ley insisted upon drinking salt water, he said. "On the third day the old man went stark mad. I had to fight him--not to hurt him or anything, but just hold his hands--try to keep him from hurting me. Twice he was washed overboard, but I reached and pulled him in. "After that I guarded the little pint of "Water which I had saved. I'd stick my finger down into it and rub it across my lips. The other man was pretty bad then. I put him in the cabin and lay down on some sacks. "After four days of storm we were out of sight of land. McKinley got the idea I was going to reb him and I had to fight him off some more. Hc got better after that and helped me with the sails." Solemn Compact On the fourth day they made their compact that the one who died first should give his flesh to the survivor for food. Kelly said the two stood in the little cabin and shook hands sol- emnly in agreement. "I lost the next five days," Kelly continued. "It seemed to me. later that we had been out 17 or 18 days in all. McKinley died on the morning of the eighth day, I think. I had put him in the cabin and laid down beside him. [I couldn't throw him overboard because - he was my friend." "Yes," Kelly said in answer to a question. "I carried out our . agree- ment," Kelly could not carry out his nagrative to the point when he reached the rocks of Santa Catalina Island. RULES OF FNTRY SANE AS USUAL U.S. Immigration Head Says There are No Special Restrictions Washington, Dec. 31. -- No unusual tightening of immigration restrictions along the Canadjan border has been ordered by United States immigration authorities, Immigration Commissioner Hull said Wednesday, but he pointed out that aliens always must be pre- pared to prove their right of residence in this country when they go out and re-enter. "Unless they have some evidence to submit to immigration inspectors that they are legally entitled to live in the United States," he said, "they are likely to have trouble and delay. At the very 'least they must be able to give information as to the ports through which they first: entered this country so that our records can be looked up to make the matter certain." A dispatch from Vancouver last Tuesday said a number of British-born residents of the United States who went to Canada for Christmas had found themselves barred from return- ing to the United States because of a sudden tightening of the immigration The dispatch said many 'had businesses in Pacific coast cities and that protests and appeals had been forwarded to Washington.

He ran uv and down the stairs on the steamer Ma- Jestic two steps at a time, talked of Babe Ruth and Gene Tunney with all the familiarity of a college boy. As the first member of any reign- ing house of Japan ever to visit America, the Prince had been re- garded with awe not only by Japan- ese newspaper men but by many American visitors as well, He quicig- ly dispelled any idea of Far Baste ern dignity, "No ceremony, please," he said, in perfect English, holding up one hand, to Japanese Ambassador Mat- sudaira, as J. Butler Wright, repre- senting - President Coolidge, Hugh Wilson from the State Department, Admiral Plunkett from the Navy. and General. Drumm from the Army, entered the Imperial suite, "You can shake hands with His Highness," Japanese newspapermen inzNew York told American corres- pondents, "hut we must only bow." They had never heard of a Japan- ese prince becoming acquainted with newspapermen but their ideas were soon shattered. Newspaper photographers had sent in word that they were waiting for the Prince on deck. Soon there was a rush from the salon and some- one pointed out a Japanese much taller than any of those about hint, taking two steps at a time as he hurried toward the upper deck. He was quietly dressed in clothes that would have looked well on the campus of Harvard, or of Oxford, where he recently has been attend- ing school. He wore a black mourning band for his father, the late Emperor Yoshihito, and a black silk necktie. This is your best help for all CLEANING DISH-WASHING « LAUNDERING E.W.GILLETT CO. LTD.
