Dinn, Rt. Rev. Monsgr. M. F. - His many Parishioners and friends throughout Conception Bay, and, indeed, throughout Newfoundland were very sorry to learn of the passing of Rt. Rev. Monsgr. M. F. Dinn, B.A., DD, Parish Priest of North River and Bay Roberts, and Vicar General of the Diocese of Harbour Grace, which occurred on Sunday morning, July 17th. at St. Clare's Mercy Hospital, St. John's.
Monsignor Dinn had only been in hospital for two weeks, previously to which time he was in apparent good health and very active. His passing has come as a shock to his many friends, for he was well liked by all who knew him, regardless of religious denomination. He was a friend to all, and always had a jolly and encouraging word even for the most pessimistic on hopeless days.
The beloved Prelate was a good administrator, a friend of the poor, and his abilities as a Priest were suitably recognized several years ago when His Holiness, Pope Pius, bestowed upon him the honour of being entitled to the title of Domestic Prelate and Vicar General.
Born at Carbonear, some 65 years ago, Monsgr. Dinn served the North River-Bay Roberts Parish for the past 20 years. During this time he was responsible for the construction of several schools, and had several weeks ago, commenced the construction of an $80,000 church to replace the 50-year-old edifice, which now serves the Parish. The building has progressed very well, with the floor having been completed, and the concrete block walls now rise to serve as a Memorial to his life, which was devoted to the service of his people.
Several weeks ago, Monsgr. Dinn attended the Centenary Celebrations at the Cathedral of St. John in St. John's, taking an active part in all of the various forms of celebrations.
His friendly smile and pleasing personality will be sorely missed, not only by his Parishioners, but by all with whom he came in contact.
The large attendance at his funeral on Tuesday morning, drawn from all walks of life and all denominations, testified to the high esteem and respect, which he gained. We join with readers in extending deepest sympathy to surviving members of his family, and to his Parishioners who are mourning the loss of a Priest and Friend.
Present for the Funeral Services were a number of visiting Priests, including Bishop O'Neill from Harbour Grace, and His Grace Archbishop Skinner, St. John's.

Mr. Josiah Noseworthy - Passed peacefully away on Friday, July 17th at the General Hospital, St. John's, Mr. Josiah Noseworthy aged 76 years. Mr. Noseworthy had been in hospital for several weeks, and his passing was unexpected as he was apparently recovering from several operations.
Left to mourn their sad loss are two sons, William at Stephenville and John at home, with whom he resided: two daughters, Hilda (Mrs. Roy Greenland, Coley's Point) and Doris at Bay Roberts: one sister Mrs. Walter Smith, Spaniard's Bay and a number of grandchildren, as well as a large circle of relatives and friends.
The funeral took place to St. Matthew's Church and Cemetery on Sunday, with Canon T. E. Loder, Rector of Spaniard's Bay Parish, officiating in the absence of Rev. G. Fowlow.
Mr. Noseworthy has conducted a shoe repair business here for a number of years, previous to which he prosecuted the Labrador fishery for a number of years. His shoe repair store was often the scene of many stories being told of bygone days of fishing and politics as some of the older residents of the town gathered to pass the time of day. Your reporter often would drop in and listen to these tails, some sad, some humorous, but all timed with evidence of hard work and hard time of bygone years. We will, personally, feel the loss of a friend, as will all who knew the deceased. We extend deepest sympathy to the bereaved family.

John P. Kelly - Death came suddenly on Monday, June 27th to a widely known and highly esteemed citizen of St. John's in the person of John P. Kelly.
The late John P. Kelly, more familiarly known as Jack, was born in St. John's 64 years ago. He was educated at St. Patrick's Hall Schools and on graduation entered the employ of The Royal Stores Ltd. with which firm he worked until his resignation to assume the Managership of the REWA Stores, when this firm decided to suspend operating he accepted a position with Halley and Company Ltd. with whom he was employed at the time of his death.
A life long member of the Cathedral Parish, he was at all times prominent and active in the different undertakings of the Parish. He was prominently identified with the Centenary Committee and the day before his death had the distinction of serving with the Ushering Committee for the ceremonies which marked the beginning of the Celebrations of this important date in our Church's history.
For more than forty years he was a member of Terra Nova Council Knights of Columbus and ever found time to take an active interest in the social and charitable work of the Council. He was present for all functions, striving eagerly and enthusiastically for their success. As a Knights of Columbus Jack Kelly lived up to the ideals expected of him and his brother Knights endorsed this by choosing him to fill several executive positions. In June 1951 he was honoured with the chief executive position of the Fourth Degree. As a final tribute of respect to the memory of their Faithful Navigator, who had shown an unselfish and zealous interest in the Assembly, the Honor Guard which had assisted at the Pontifical Mass in the Ball Park assembled at his home where the Faithful Friar offered pray for the eternal repose of his soul. He was likewise a life long member of the Total Abstinence Society.
Jack Kelly possessed all the Christian attributes dedicated to home and family. Theirs is the greater loss in the removal of the kindest of fathers and faithful husband, whilst many friends and neighbors will likewise lament his passing. To his widow and daughters, Margaret and Jeanne (Mrs. Douglas Watson, Calgary, Alberta) deepest sympathy is extended on their irreparable loss.
Jack Kelly is dead but his memory will continue to live in the hearts of those whose privilege it was to know him. May his Soul rest in peace.

Spaniard's Bay, August 1
On Friday, August 5, Captain George Gosse, Victoria Street, St. John's, will be ninety years old. He was born at Spaniard's Bay in 1865, the son of Captain Robert Gosse and Mrs. Gosse, and was educated at High School of that time under the tutorship of "Doctor" Earle, a man who was teacher, preacher, doctor, dentist, druggist, postmaster and church violinist. After completing the courses offered by Mr. Earl, Mr. Gosse studied for two winters under the guidance of Master O'Donnell of the Church of England Academy at Bay Roberts.
Later he attended the Harbour Grace Academy, which was then run by Michael Scully, and the Navigational School operated by John Scully, a brother of Michael. Both Michael and John were considered among the best teachers of their day and from John Scully's Navigational School emerged some of the famous sea captains which have graced the pages of our Newfoundland history.
At the age of fourteen years Captain Gosse made his first trip to the icefields with his father, who was Master of the S.S. Mastiff. At that age he, of course, did not rate as an able seaman but he was permitted to keep his own pelts, his take for that spring was 50 pelts, which equaled in sterling to an able seaman's share. Spurred on this success and imbued with the love of adventure, he prosecuted the seal hunt for fifteen springs in various ships and in various capacities (e.g. barrel man, master watch and second in command).
In 1886, George Gosse suceeded his father as the master of the "New Era", a 100 ton fore-and-after, and for 51 years thereafter was master of a schooner engaged in the Labrador fishing trade. Some of the vessels he sailed were "Spring Bird", "Harry Smith", "Erminie" and "Exotic".
In the same year that he suceeded his father as master of the schooner he, with his brother Martin (2 years his junior) formed the firm of G. and M. Gosse to succeed the old family fish firm of Robert Gosse. Robert Gosse was their father, and he retired from business completely in 1886. The firm of G. and M. Gosse in unbroken partnership until the two brothers, having both reached their 80th milestone, decided to wind up the business and call it a "voyage. And a very successful voyage of 63 years of partnership it was. At an early age, however, the partnership almost ended before it had begun when at Aflek, Labrador, while the two lads were out in a small punt (known as an "irat"), Martin fell overboard and was barely rescued by his brother George.
The firm of G. and M. Gosse employed during the fishing season over 200 men and as was customary in those days, provided transportation in their schooners for their men to Emily Harbour, the site of their fishing operations. One voyage he carried 119 people (men, women and children) in the "Erminie" and this was a tremendous responsibility when one considers the loose ice, fog and stormy weather which make sailing along the rocky coasts a hazardous and difficult operation. As a schooner's master he never had an accident and he was considered one of the finest navigators and skillful seamen of his day.
On July 9, 1908, the British schooner "Madeline" of Plymouth struck a sunken rock and ran upon it, at Dark Tickle, Labrador. The "Madeline" from Cadiz with a load of salt and under the command of Captain John G. Beequet would have been a total loss had it not been for the quick action of Captain George Gosse, as testimonials or "protests" now in the possession of the Gosse family indicate. As soon as the plight of the "Madeline" became known to Captain Gosse, he took his men from Emily Harbour to Dark Tickle and rendered the necessary assistance. The records show that Captain George Gosse first ordered the 60 or 70 tons of salt be jettisoned, after which he tied a sail around the bow of the "Madeline" and had the men pack bog and turf between the sail and the ship. This makeshift caulking saved the ship from sinking and enabled the captain and men to beach the ship in safety. After beaching, a survey of the damages revealed that "the vessel had struck under the forefoot, tearing away a part of the lower side of the fore-end of keel. The jerk had started the garboard a little on the starboard side, and started the oakum." Effective repairs made by a shipwright, one John H. Butt, made the "Madeline" seaworthy again and a certificate was issued by the shipwright to the effect that "the vessel is made thoroughly tight, and considered in every way fit to carry dry and perishable cargoes to any part of the world." That was on August 12th, thirty days after the "Madeline" went aground.
In 1919 Captain George Gosse was elected a member of the House of Assembly to represent Spaniard's Bay in the Squires' government for a four-year period. In 1920 he rebuilt Lassie Road, which had been washed away by a tidal wave. In this connection, history repeated itself, for it was his grandfather who built the first Lassie Road in 1880, and he remembers well dispensing quantities of Indian meal and molasses (Lassie) to the workmen who were engaged on it (i.e. in 1880). Rather a peculiar form of currency. From 1924 to 1926 he held the position of Road Inspector. He was a member of the Conception Bay Mutual Marine Insurance Co. from its inception to the time when the company was dissolved owing to the lack of schooners in Conception Bay.
As a young man, too, he spent one year fishing as an able bodied fisherman on the Grand Banks to gain first hand information on all phases of the Newfoundland fisheries.
Captain Goss, although now 90 years of age, is hale and hearty and walks two miles every day for exercise. He reads (and reads much) without the aid of glasses but he gets annoyed that his hearing is not perfect (in one ear, that is). He is keenly interested in local and world affairs and he has a phenomenal memory and carries his six-foot, bony, military-like frame as straight as a whip, with the salt of the sea and the salt of the earth in his blood.
He has no formula for ensuring longevity, but he considers that worry will hasten people's time of departure. On the topic of food, he displays little interest but insists that a high protein diet of fish, meat and eggs necessary for fishermen, and that "duff" and potatoes are harmful. He never had any liking for "duffs" (nor is he interested in deserts now) and he tells with amusement this story.
When he was master of the S. S. Banguard, he had with him an engineer from Aberdeen, Scotland, who also had no liking for "duff". However, one day the engineer requested a large slice of the "duff" which he did not eat. Months later when the engineer returned to Aberdeen, he took a small package from his seaman's chest and asked several shipwrights to examine it and to tell what it was. All agreed that it was a piece of wood but they differed as to the species of tree from which it was sawed. But it was none other than an ordinary helping of "duff". After that, Captain Gosse said, all desire (if there had ever been any) for "duff" left him. Some people may like to discuss this matter with Captain Gosse, providing, of course, they are ninety or over.
Captain George Gosse has been married twice, first to Miss Mabel Gosse in 1888 and who died in 1897. One son, Robert, by this marriage, died at the age of two years. In 1899 he married Miss Hester Noel of Harbour Grace and they have three sons - Dr. Maxwell Gosse of Poughkeepsie, New York, Bert and Chesley in St. John's. He has three grandchildren and one great grandchild.
He is a member of Gower Street United Church, St. John's and is a honourary member of "No Surrender" L.O.L. at Spaniard's Bay.
His many friends at Spaniard's Bay and elsewhere will want to join with us in wishing Captain George Gosse, 11 Victoria Street, St. John's, a very happy birthday on Friday, August 5th.

Sparkes & Rideout - Wedding Bells
On Tuesday, July 5th at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, a beautiful and impressive marriage ceremony was solemnized, when Joan, elder daughter of the Hon. R. F. and Mrs. Sparkes, was united in holy matrimony with Mr. Maxwell Rideout of Burlington, Green Bay.
The decorations for the double ring ceremony were white lilac and gladioli.
At 7 p.m. the bridal party entered the church preceded by the ushers, Mr. Clyde Brown and Mr. Cyril Stokes. Acting as maid of honour for her sister was Miss Diane Sparkes who was beautifully attired in daffodil nylon taffeta. Other attendants were Grace Escott, who has been a close friend of the bride since childhood, and Miss Rosalind Smith, R.N., who was Miss Sparkes' roommate during their nursing days at the General Hospital. Their dresses were identical in design with that of the maid of honour and were lilac in shade. Their tiny matching hats decorated with yellow and white daisies were beautifully designed by Mrs. Whitty.
The three attendants carried nosegays of yellow roses, pink carnations and blue mums.
The bride, looking the picture of loveliness was escorted to the chancel steps by here father, where the groom, accompanied by his best man, Mr. Clifford Mills, awaited her. Her dress of white crystallite, which was designed by here sister Diane, was beautiful in its simplicity. Her long taffeta lengthy veil was caught with a tiny hat of ruche nylon and decorated with pearls and rhinestones. The trailing bouquet of pale pink sweetheart roses, which lilac and snapdragon was a thing of beauty and like those of the bridesmaids, were arranged by Mrs. MacDougall of Glen Burn Nurseries.
The service was taken by Rev. G. Elliott of Kelligrews, a life long friend of the bride and her family. He was assisted by Rev. R. B. Babb, Rector of St. Mary's Church.
As the bride and groom knelt at the altar, Miss Joan Rooney, accompanied by Mr. R. Whitten, organist of St. Mary's, very feelingly and delightfully sang "O Perfect Love."
The reception following the ceremony was held at the Officers Mess, Buckmasters Field, of which the bride's father is a member. The guests were received by the parents of the bride. Mrs. Sparkes' floor length dress of royal blue bengaline was trimmed with mother of pearl and with it she wore a silver-lame bolero with hat of the same material, trimmed with royal blue. Her corsage was of pink feather carnations.
Toasts honoured were to the bride by the Rev. G. Elliott, and to the bridesmaids, both of which received humourous and interesting responses.
Dancing, which followed the buffet supper, so daintily prepared and served by Mrs. Manderson and her helpers, was to the accompaniment of the Princes Orchestra.
For traveling the bride chose a light flannel suit of brown and white hound's tooth cheek, brown and white accessories and a shoulder corsage of yellow mums. After throwing her bouquet, which was caught by her sister, Diane, the bride tossed the traditional garter, which was caught and worn as a bracelet by Mrs. Wilfred Brown.
The young couple have recently returned from a two-week's honeymoon tour of Prince Edward Island. They are presently spending some time with the parents of the bride at 10 Prince William Place.

Mrs. Margaret Morris - One of the oldest and most respected of Harbour Grace citizens, Mrs. Margaret Morris, entered into rest in the early hours of Friday morning following an illness of some months - borne with Christian fortitude, and throughout which she was ministered to by affectionate care of her daughter, Winona, and son, Fred.
The late Mrs. Morris was born at Harbour Grace in 1870 - the daughter of Captain John Charles and Selina Davis. She married Joseph Morris, onetime keeper of the light, at Harbour Grace Island, who predeceased her thirty six years ago.
The deceased lady was widely known for her good works, as the many, who, during the past week have called at the Morris home on Water Street to pay tribute to the memory of one who had been a friend to all - a kind neighbour and a lover of children - have testified.
The late Mrs. Morris leaves to mourn her passing, two daughters, Beatrice, Mrs. Henry Stevenson at Montreal, and Winona at home; two sons, Robert at Sydney, N.S., who arrived to attend the funeral, and Frederick, well known in this town for his interest in community welfare. One brother, Henry, at Montreal also survives.
The funeral, which took place on Sunday afternoon to the United Church of which the deceased was a devout member, was very largely attended, besides a number of townspeople who came from outside places to be present.
The service at the church was conducted by Rev. N. B. Hodder who paid tribute to the life of a worthy member of his congregation.
An appropriate sole was sung by Mrs. G. Boyd Butt and Mr. F. P. Sheppard, a family friend, acted as organist.
The large number of floral tributes testified to the esteem in which the deceased was held. Interment took place in the family plot at the United Church Cemetery.
Sincere sympathy is extended to the bereaved relatives.

Mrs. George Jewer - The Hand of Death brings changes in everything we see, and there are times when we cannot understand why it should be so, but we try to reconcile ourselves to its approach. But when it comes under such tragic circumstances as it did to Mrs. George Jewer on Saturday evening, it seems a greater blow than under ordinary circumstances. Mrs. Jewer, who been employed at the ticker office at the Royal Theatre for the past 2 years, was returning home as soon as the show had commenced, as was her habit, and was on the extreme side of the street when a car driven by a man from Badger struck her, hurling her several feet. She was picked up and immediately conveyed to the surgery of Dr. Walter Pollock, where she passed away within about thirty minutes after being hit, and did not regain consciousness. The community was greatly shocked, as Mrs. Jewer (who was in her 59th year) was well known and highly respected by all who knew her.
Born in this town, the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Turner, she spent many years in New York, coming back to the old home town about 22 years ago, when she married George Jewer and has resided here since. Always ready to lend a helping hand, quietly doing her various duties, she was a friend to everyone, and she will be missed by those near her. She was a member of East Women's Association and a member of the United Church. Her body was taken to Gander Hospital for an autopsy, performed by the doctor in charge there and Dr. W. Pollock. She was buried on Monday afternoon and the funeral services at the home and graveside were largely attended, Rev. N. Winsor officiating.
Mrs. Jewer leaves to mourn besides her husband, one daughter, Jean, who was at the time attending Summer School at St. John's; 2 sisters in Toronto, one in New York, and Mrs. M Burt and Mrs. Owen Davies of this town; one brother, Ralph, and several other relatives. To whom deepest sympathy is extended.

George E. Rees - Bell Island suffered an irreparable loss on Tuesday, August 2, when Mr. George E. Rees, one of its most revered sons, passed to that happy "destiny that lies beyond our dust." During the past several years the deceased suffered several paralytic strokes and it was another of these strokes that brought about his sudden passing.
George Eldred Ress was born at Lance Cove, Bell Island, 73 years ago, the son of the late William and Louisa Rees. After leaving school he entered the employ of the Nova Scotia Steel and Coal Co. and worked with them for over half a century at various occupations, many years of which he faithfully and efficiently carried out the duties of foreman in the car shop. He was retired on pension in August 1950.
Of quiet disposition, unassuming, conscientious and, efficient he enjoyed the esteem of all who knew him. A person of unquestionable standards, ethics and inherent modesty, he nevertheless was gifted with understanding in a practical sense which only his more intimate associates could appreciate fully. A link in the senior employees of the company has been broken and his sudden passing removes a familiar figure from this great industrial center of which he formed a part for more than three score years and ten.
To his life and passing the beautifully descriptive words of Longfellow can sincerely be applied.
"Men whose lives glided on,
Like rivers that water the woodland,
Darkened by shadows of earth,
But reflecting an image of heaven."

Maurice Gorman - The death of one of Bell Island's most highly respected residents was learned with regret when the sad news was flashed around on Thursday evening, August 4, that Mr. Maurice Gorman had passed to his eternal reward, following a long illness. The late Mr. Gorman was born at Harbour Main, C.B., 91 years ago and was one of the oldest residents of the Iron Isle. One of the pioneers in mining, he worked in the coalmines of Sydney, N.S. Coming to Bell Island in 1899, he went to work here in the ore mines and after performing his various duties faithfully and well was place on the retired list in 1931. In early manhood the deceased gentleman followed the sea for some years and could relate many interesting stories during the time he fished on the Grand Banks and on the Labrador.
"Uncle Maurice", as he was familiarly known, was of a quiet and retiring disposition and it can be truly said he was the good old-time type of citizen, a good neighbour, fair and generous. He was well liked and respected by all who knew him.
Their line is fastly diminishing and it is so sad to realize that the old pioneers are so quickly passing on. They blazed the trail and enriched their homesteads by hard honest toil, that could be emulated with profit by the present generation. There was nothing of the shallow or trivial about him and yet he had a warm and friendly personality that endeared him to young and old. We shall miss him greatly from our midst but will always remember him as one who harboured no bitterness and who was ever ready to lend a helping hand to all whose privilege it was to meet and know one of nature's grand old gentlemen. God blessed him with a long and happy life and now that he has passed from this vale of tears, has opened for him the door into life everlasting.
He is survived by his wife, five sons, Gregory, Edward, Patrick, Luke and Maurice, Jr., Bell Island; two daughters, Mrs. Eric Stone, Bell Island, and Mrs. Mary Nolan, Avondale, C.B., also a large number of grandchildren and several great grandchildren.
The funeral took place by motor hearse on Saturday morning from his home to the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Wabana, where Requiem Mass was celebrated by the Pastor, Rt. Rev. Monsignor G. F. Bartlett, D.P., P.P. The funeral was under the direction of Rideout's Funeral Home. The following comprised the pallbearers: Messrs. Roger Blackmore, Willis Jarvis, Cecil Spencer, Fred Carroll, Philip Murray, Bernard Sweeney. Interment was in the R. C. Cemetery.

John Greene - On July 28th an old and respected citizen in the person of John Greene, passed peacefully away at Placentia. The deceased was born there 83 years ago, and as a young man he had to engage in the only industry of the time - the fishery. He fished at Cape St. Mary's on the Grand Banks and out of Nova Scotia ports. He was one of that sturdy band of fishermen who is fast disappearing from our time.
As a citizen he took an active interest in all matters pertaining to the welfare of his native town. His greatest was Christian charity. He was ever-ready day or night to visit the sick, to keep them company during the long hours of the night, to console the dying, to pray with them in their last hours. Afterwards, to prepare the body for burial and follow the remains to the grave.
One of the great principles of charity is to visit the sick and bury the dead that was John's greatest virtue helping others who could not help themselves. When his turn came to die he had the consolation of having at his bedside Frs. Hunt and Green who gave him the last rites of his Holy Church.
His funeral, which was well attended, showed the esteem in which the deceased was held. The remains were preceded by a guard of honour from the Star of the Sea Association of which the deceased was a life long member. Interment was at the Mount Carmel Cemetery. His wife predeceased him some years ago. He is survived by two sons, one at New York, one at home with whom he resided; three daughters, Sr. M. Collista, St. Margaret's Presentation Convent, Buchans; and three at New York, to whom the writer extends sincere sympathy.

DEWLING, Stewart - The community was shocked last night to learn of the passing of Mr. Stewart Dewling, M.M., at the age of 60 years.
A veteran of World War One, the deceased, though he received medical treatment several months ago, had recovered and was able to resume his normal duties. He returned home last evening after a busy day, and shortly after 6 p.m. was suddenly stricken and died immediately.
A member of the "First 500', the late Stewart Dewling was highly respected by all who had the privilege to know him. The few survivors of the tragic July drive remember him as an unselfish hero, when as a young member of the Medical Corps, he journeyed time and time again into "No Man's Land" to aid and comfort his wounded comrades. It was in this action that he was awarded his Military Medal, and additional honours for bravery were awarded him during the remainder of the war.
Since his return to Newfoundland, Mr. Dewling's first concern was for the welfare of other veterans and their families. For over 35 years he served faithfully and well as an executive member of the Great War Veterans Association and of the Canadian Legion. At the time of his passing he was First Vice President of the St. John's Branch of the Legion. During that time his interest was unflagging, and he constantly attended to the needs of veterans who were ill or who required assistance.
To his widow and relatives, the Daily News joins with his many sorrowing friends in extending sincere sympathy.
The funeral will be held tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. from his late residence at 42 Allandale Road.

Carbonear, August 15
Reuben White - It is sad to see a person in the prime of his life taken by death but when death is unexpected and instantaneous it is doubly sad. So it was in the case of Reuben White who was accidentally killed at Happy Valley, Labrador, on Thursday last. Leaving home less than three weeks ago for what he and his family thought would be a happy and fruitful summer, his home-coming last evening was almost unbearable for his wife and eldest child, Sharon, who is twelve years old. The two other children are really too young to realize what has happened but, nevertheless the youngest one, only two years of age, asked her mommy yesterday morning, upon waking "where's my daddy?" Did the little one have a dream? Were her sleeping hours filled with thoughts of her daddy? Who can know the mind of a child? One thing can be said of the late Mr. White, he was a very devoted father, never happier than when he had his three children close by, took the little ones whenever and wherever he could. If they retain any memories of him they will indeed be happy ones. No one saw Mr. White fall from the staging on which he was standing and the first his buddy, Mr. Tom Ash, who was anchoring the rafters on the roof, knew of his falling was when someone shouted that Reuben had fallen off. Leaving the roof he immediately summoned help from the nearby Military Hospital, but to no avail for he was dead when he returned with a nurse. Death must have been instantaneous.
His remains arrived by plane from the northern base and interment took place on Sunday afternoon from his late residence. Members of "Boyle" L.O.L. No. 80 of Victoria attended as did many members of Carbonear L.O.L. No. 13 and a large concourse of other citizens. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. B. Johnson, B.A., to whom fell the sad lot of breaking the news to the family. At the home the beautiful hymn "Jesus Lover Of My Soul" was sung and at the graveside "Abide With Me" was used.
To Mrs. White, daughters Sharon, Gloria and Elizabeth, and to all other relatives we extend the sympathy of the whole community.

Adey & Kinsman - Wedding Bells
The rays of the setting sun streaming through the windows, together with the multi coloured floral decorations and Kentia Palms, made a beautiful setting for a very pretty wedding which took place at Wesley United Church on June 23rd at 7 p.m., the contracting parties being Christine, younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Adey and Bruce, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kinsman, both of this City.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. J. Barrett assisted by Rev. J. W. Winsor, life long friend of the bride's family. Mr. Allan Pittman presided at the organ and a full choir was in attendance.
The bride looked radiant as she entered the church on the arm of her father and proceeded up the aisle to the strains of the wedding march. She wore a gown of white chantilly lacy over satin and nylon tulle, fashioned on princess lines, and lace fitted jacket with long pointed sleeves and stand up collar. Her fingertip veil of matching lace hung from a dainty lace trimmed cap. Her bouquet was composed of pink roses and Stephanotis with roses on ribbon trailer extending to the floor. A gold necklace set with tiny pearls worn by the bride, was a heirloom of her family.
Miss Nina Holloway, cousin of the bride, was maid of honour and wore pale lemon ballerina length strapless gown of lace over satin and layers of nylon tulle, with matching stole and gauntlets, while Mesdames Agnes Grimes, Nellie Thompson and Marjorie Manston acted as bridesmaids and were attired in identical gowns as the maid of honour, in sky blue. All wore headpieces alike and their bouquets were a combination of Stephanotis, and Shasta Daisies in matching shades.
Little Beverley Bishop, wearing a miniature bridal gown and carrying a small bouquet like the brides and Master Tony Paitanavage wearing miniature formal dress, performed their duties as flower girl and ring bearer in a very winsome manner.
The groom was ably supported by his brother, Mr. Alistair Kinsman while Messrs Eric Thompson, Howard Manston and David Kinsman acted as ushers.
After the bridal party was assembled the choir, of which both the bride and groom are members, sang "The Voice That Breathed O'er Eden". An impressive note in the ceremony was the singing of the Lord's Prayer so beautifully rendered by Miss Edna Mitchell, as the couple knelt before the Communion Rail.
During the signing of the register, the hymn "O Perfect Love" was sung by the choir after which the bride and groom together with a large number of guests proceeded to the Old Colony Club where the reception was held.
The bride's table was beautifully decorated for the occasion with flowers and centered with a three-tier wedding cake.
The bride's mother received guests wearing a floor length gown of aqua nylon crepe with white accessories and her corsage was of yellow roses. The groom's mother assisted wearing a floor length gown of mid-blue crepe with lace inserts and pale pink accessories. Her corsage was of pink roses.
Dr. H. L. Pottle acted as toastmaster while Rev. J. W. Winsor in the unavoidable absence of Rev. A. J. Barrett, proposed the toast to the bride which was responded to by the groom, he in turn proposed a toast to the brides attendants, which was responded to by the best man, after which a number of telegrams from relatives and friends were read. Following supper, dancing to the music of the Rythmiers Orchestra and card playing was thoroughly enjoyed.
For traveling the bride wore a navy blue fitted coachman coat of shantung with white and navy accessories and a corsage of pink roses and fern. The happy couple motored through the States to Calgary, Alberta where the honeymoon was spent with the bride's sister, Mrs. Frank Janett.
The bride and groom were recipients of many beautiful gifts testifying to the esteem in which they were held.

Doctor R. S. Frew - A well-known specialist in diseases of children, Dr. Robert S. Frew, formerly physician to The Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, and since his retirement consulting physician, died at his home at Chipping Campden in Gloucestershire on May 30.
Robert Skeoch Frew was born in Newfoundland on August 22, 1881, and was educated at St. John's. For his medical training he went to the University of Edinburgh, where he graduated M.B., Ch.B., in 1905. He also studied for some time at the University of Berlin. After serving as house-physician at the Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh, and for a brief period as assistant to the professor of pathology there, Dr. Frew came to London to The Great Ormond Street Hospital, where he was medical registrar, pathologist, and clinical assistant in the out-patient department. Later he was appointed physician to the hospital, and practiced also as a consultant in pediatrics in Wimpole Street. He proceeded M.D. in 1910, and in 1911 became M.R.C.P. London. He was at one time assistant physician to the East London Hospital for Children, Shadwell, and from 1914 to 1928 he was physician to the children's department, King's College Hospital, Denmark Hill. Other hospital appointments which he held for many years were those of physician to Lord Mayor Treloar Orthopedic Hospital at Alton in Hampshire and consulting physician for diseases of children to the Bromley Cottage Hospital. During the first world war he served as major in the R.A.M.C.
Dr. Frew was an individual in pediatrics, holding views, which were not always shared by the pediatricians of his time. These he expressed particularly in his book, published in 1936 Entitled Diseases in Childhood A Clinical Study. The book dealt solely with diseased of infants and described a long series of cased which had come under his personal observation. He was also the author of many articles on pediatric subjects in the annals and specialist journals. One of his earliest contributions in which he collaborated with the late Sir Archibald Garrod, consulting physician to Great Ormond Street was on glycosuria in tuberculosis meningitis. He became a Fellow Of the Royal College of Physicians of London in 1919.
He leaves a widow and a daughter. His only son an R.A.F. officer was killed in World War II. Also one brother and two sisters (Mrs. John Parker and Mrs. Reg. Harvey) residing in St. John's.

Henry H. Hutchings - His many friends at Spaniard's Bay were indeed sorry to hear of the sudden passing at his home in St. John's of Henry H. Hutchings (66) a former businessman of this town. The late Mr. Hutchings moved to St. John's in 1948 but before that time he owned and operated a general store, which was one of the best in the community. His fairness in business dealings won for him the respect of the public, not only in his hometown, but in surrounding communities. He was a man of practical ideas not only for himself, but for the community and some of the plans which he advocated years ago are only now being put into practice. In educational matters he was as sincere as he was active and while he was a member of the local school board he did much constructive work for the set-up which then existed. He saw to it that his own seven children received a thorough education and most of them attended Universities. But he was also keenly interested in others, too. More than one child received from him encouragement from him by word and deed, and pleasant memories of him and gratitude for his kindnesses will remain with many for always.
He leaves to mourn and to remember, his wife (formerly Miss May Gosse), four sons, Leighton (a roofing contractor in Indianapolis, Indiana); Wilbert (radar inspector with the Department of Defence, Toronto); Donald, (proprietor of a service station in Blind River, Ontario); Eric (Laboratory consultant for Newfoundland Cottage Hospitals); three daughters, Geraldine (Mrs. Eric Roberts); Ruth (Mrs. Pearce Alcock); and Mollie (Mrs. Dick Abbott), all of St. John's.
The Burial Service at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist on Friday, August 19, was conducted by the Rector, the Rev. J. A. F. Slade and his remains were laid to rest in the Church of England Cemetery on Forest Road.

Rev. John Stanley Taylor - There passed away at his home at Pittsburgh, Pa., on August 18th a native son of Harbour Grace, Rev. John Stanley Taylor in his 78th year.
Born in 1877, the son of the late Henry and Annie Taylor, the deceased received his early education at the High School, taught by the late Mrs. W. A. Oke who, was at that time, Miss Sophie Snow and later, at the old Grammar School under the tutorship of the late Mr. James D. Munn.
After serving an apprenticeship at blacksmith with Mr. William Smith at his forge in Silby's Lane, Mr. Taylor immigrated to the USA and became associated with the Carnegie Institute of Technology where by painstaking study, he became a supervisor.
His ambition was to enter the Church, and the late Mr. Taylor, by private study and under the guidance and supervision of his friend, the Bishop of Pittsburgh, qualified in the necessary examinations and was ordained. He served as Deacon and Priest at Crofton, until his retirement.
A few years ago, in recognition of long and faithful service to the Church, the reverend gentleman was made Honorary Canon. Although retired, he frequently acted as supply in Missions and parishes when vacant, or when rectors were absent on vacation.
The late Canon entered hospital in March past for what was thought to be a slight operation. This proved more serious than was at first believed and he entered into his rest on Thursday last, mourned by his wife and two children of his former marriage to the late Miss Minnie Davis of this town viz John, an officer of the American Army, now serving as attaché to the American Embassy in Paris, France, and Dorothy, registered dietitian who, was with her father to minister to him in the last days of his illness, as well as by a large circle of friends in the USA and at Hr. Grace.
John Stanley Taylor is remembered at Hr. Grace for the affection he had for his native town - and for his continued interest in its welfare.
Cards of remembrance at Christmas time told old friends here of his thoughts of them - brief notes from time to time reminded one of some oft-forgotten incident which he had shared with a boyhood friend. The personal touch was never lacking, and as succeeding years brought him back for his vacations, old friendships were renewed and memories revolved in the humorous vein which was characteristic of this man who always remained a Hr. Gracian, even though separated from his native land by distance and time.
His last visit was in the summer of 1946, and his wish at that time was to return to spend some of his later years in the old homestead on Nord Street, which he invariably opened up for his stay in his native town.
