Mr. Ernest E. Warren. War- ren's Mills. North River. enter- ed into rest at the Prince Ed- ward island Hospital. on Satur- day. October 15th. 1955. Born in North River. in the year ms. the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Warren. he moved to Tryon with his parents. later re-. turning to North River where he successfully operated a combined grist and sawmill.

During his lifetime his quiet dia- position. and his high integrity won him a place in the esteem

business. For many years a deacon in the North River Baptist Church, his place was seldom vacant when health permitted. Mr. warren was married to Ida Maud Dockendorff who along with eight children are left to mourn the passing of a beloved husband and father. The family is Lorne. Gordon and Ada (Mrs. Philip Dercolel of Vancouver. 3. .; Keir and Fulton of North River; Helen. (Mrs. Roland Sellicl-1,) Winsloe: Muriel (Mrs. F. M. Copeland! Gunningsville, N. B.. and the youngest son. Mellick living in Halifax. A brother. Dr. Gordon Warren, lives in Sydney, N. S.. and a brother. Garfield. re- sides in North Bend. Oregon. U. S. A. Membebrs of the family who predeceased him were a sis- ter. Mrs. George Owen. and two brothers. Leigh of Charlottetown. and Herbert of North River. The funeral was held from the Macbean Funeral Home to the Charlottetown Baptist C h u r c h where service was conducted by Rev. l-larold Mitton. Interment

have not only witnessed much change and progress but have act- ively participated therein. And we feel we may be pardoned if we are reminiscent for a few minutes about some of these changes and marks of progress.

Fifty years of life in Dunstaff- nage has seen the gloomy. trouble- some. and odorous light of kerosene lamps and lanterns become the brilliant and clean glow of electric light. In fifty years the discordant clanking of the treadmill has be- come the staccato bark of the in- ternal combustion engine. In fifty years the jangling harness of the plodding draft horse has become the deep-throated roar of the farm tractor.

In fifty years the hand water pump has become the electric motor, automatic switch and pre- sure tank. while the water bucket has become a led metal pipe terminating in a gleaming chrom- tum-plated faucet. in fifty years the crosscut saw and the axe have been replaced by the coal sciiitlo. and it in turn. by the automatic oil furnace- In fifty years the buggy or sleigh which brought the young bride to her new home over a narrow road of snow, sand or mud. has been replaced by the speeding motor car carrying you and yours. in sheltered warmth and ' over endless mile upon mile of smooth asphalt ribbon.

Yes indeed. in fifty years God through man hath wrought all these and many other changes. un- til today. instead of the once rug- ged life. the farmer enjoys all the luxury and comfort of the city. and in addition his soul derives inner co ' t and contentment through constant communion with that which He hath wrought throuu) Mother Nature.

You have throughout your mar. ried life been active not ”only in the betiennent of your home but in the affairs of your church and community as wall. and may we l" l-hll regard, any a humble thank you. and ask you to accept this small token of our esteem.

it is almost an anticlimax to state that we know we are wel- come here tonight as the welcome mat has always been out to your friends hand neighbours for 5nd near. and you have always been noted for your hospitality. Tonight

Another Canadian. F. L. Skinner of T , e, Manitoba. was the originator of many fine hybrid lil- ac: to which he gave names of Ind- ian chiefs and other early settlers. One of these is one of the most beautiful lilacs; it has a fine broad- f ,, T habit and is literally cover- ed each year with wonderfully fragrant flowers close to the com- mon lilac in color. The variety "Pocahontas" was the firs ito have a really deep color.

In Rochester, the collections of lilacs thrill all who have seen the display in spring as visitors to this garden have told me about the beauty and fragrance of that gard-

en.

In books showing illustrations of this wonderful shrub it is easy to see the many places in a garden. especially a large country garden where they can be used in a great many places. So, when planting the lilacs the other day I was think- lag of all these things and anticip- ating the color and fragrance in

Mr. and Mrs. Neil A. Matheson sang as a duet. "Good Night and Good Morning." The pail-bearers were: Messrs. Leslie Warren. Bertram Younker. Brenton Stevenson. Harry Scott. John Warren and William Moly- neaux. The memory of a father's love remains secure. Reflected in the lives if hlest. it will endure. He built his life of faith and love. his task is through, And in the better world above. he lives anew.

Always in December there is one task which is”a pleasant one for me ...sorting over the garden seeds which have been gathered from the garden as soon as they ripen on the many perennials. and biennials- In the busy summer days they are hurriedly pushed into pockets and then transferred to paper bags and boxes. When everything is protected from the weather and the fall planting is done I begin the happy task of sorting and labelling ghe different packets of seed for next year's sowing.

It is wonderful to have a good supply as many. many plants are obtained from your own garden seed. The e of summe is in these seeds and the fragrance re- minds you of the sunny summer

Saint Fiachra.

PATRON OF GARDENS

The link between the library window-seat and the garden, quitey properly. is Saint Fiachra. for that gentlest of saints stands vigil in-l doors, the garden in view below him. one hand resting on his spade. the other holding a book. What surer comfort. what more abiding day has life to offer than a friendly spade and a friendly book'!.
