OBITUARY.
It is our very sad duty today
to chroni-
cle
the passing
away
at his
home
at Est,
Ba:ren
Spot, of
Mr. MALCOLM {)GAARD,
son of Mr. and Mrs.A. H. @gaard,
follow-
ing a slow and uncertain
illnessof several
weeks
duration,a
part of which
time was
gpent
in
the
Municipal Hospital in
“his
town.
Malcolm was
a fine young
man,
a
chemist
by
profession,
and
a
capable
and reliable
employee
of
the
West
In-
dian
Sugar
Faetory
where
he
work
ed
after
leaving
school.
His
untimely
death
at
the
early
age
of
20
years
is
a~reat
blow to his parents
and
we
decp-
ly sympathize
with
them.
Truly
here
is an example of scripture fulfilment’Man
groweth
up
as
a flower and is cut down.”
The
funeral
has
been
fixed
for
this
afternoon from
Barren
Spot
to
I'reder-

London,

the British people subseribed
hg2
sums
which
were

They did so

by Bishop

500,000,000
pounds
should
be
raised
to

the gigantic schem:
for the relief
of
Lk Uinwinpioyed for providing
the
pe-
cessary
finds
for the
development
and
constr
ction
of
public
works,
such
as
acrienitural improvements,
afforestation
the utilization
of
witer
power
and
the
development
of public utilities,
as
well
as
the bnilding of roads.
The
magicipal
authorities
are overburdened
now in pro-
viding relief, but they will probably
sub-
seribe
heavily
to
any
national
scheme
that
was designed
to lighten the
burden
at present
laid on the
taxpayers,
if
a
re-
turn of their investment
was guarznteed
by the State.
The scheme
though
com-
plicated
in detail,
is quite simple
in gen-
eral principles.
Labour will make its ap-
peal
to the
patriotism
of the ‘people
in
the endeavour
to raise
this hug 2 sum,

the
only
way
of
saving
the
country
from the eff »cts
of the Red
pro-
paganda
which
has
been
widely circulat-
ed among
the unemployed
and which may
lead
to
disastrous
results
next
winter.
