IN MEMORIAM

RAYMOND J. LARKIN

Many friends and relatives were filled with deep regret when it became known that on Friday, February 24, there passed 'nway in the City Hospital. an esteemed resident of Selkirk, Raymond J. Larkin. It is difficult to realize that a man so active and so healthy should be called to his Eternal Reward in the prime of life. forty-one years of aBe- Till! proves when we are highest in life. we are in the midst of death. The previous day, while world!!! in the woods he met with a Pain" fu.l accident. He was immediately moved to the Charlottetown Hos- pital, where all that medical aid and fervent prayer was perform- ed for his recovery. but all was of no avail. On Thursday morn- ing, he passed away with patient submission to G9d'I holy W1” and (omned by the consoling sacra- ments of his beloved church. which sustained him so well dur- ing life and of which he was a faithful member. s

He was born at Five Houses. a go, or John J.. and Emma Lar- kin (nee Phaelen.i His early life was spent with his parents. and his many friends there. will re- member his congenial companion- ship. his home loving princi les, gnd his enduring christian c ar- scter. In nineteen thirty-seven he moved to Selkirk. where in con- junction with his brother, Eugene. he operated a saw-mill. known to the public as Larkin Bros.. Mill.

in 1948. he married Sara Mec- Donald of Monticello. who after s few years of hqPDY l,V9dd9d '1" passed away, leaving with him the care of two small children. To these. he was a father and moth- er. always thinking of their wel- fare and happiness. In spite of all those trials and disappoint- ments. Raymond as he was known. was of a jovial disposition. and was always resigned to Gods Holy Will. He was an exemplary citizen. always helping with good will. the church. school and other matters which require help. As a neighbour. he was every ready to aid the sick or helpless. His ard- ent religious spirit will testify to attain for him a high reward from Almighty God. Let us hope he shall bear the glorious words from God. "Well done. good and faithful Servant." His funeral took place. Sunday. February 26th. from the home of his father-ln- law. Joseph A. MacDonald, Monti- cello, to St. Margaret's Church. The large procession that follow- ed his remains to their last rest- lng place was an outstanding tri- bute of respcct- and esteem. The funeral rites were performed by his pastor. Rev. Geo MacDonald who also officiated at the grave Then all that was left of a kind father. a dutiful son and a lov- ing brother was laid to rest be- side his young wife who prede- ceased him four years ago. The funeral was under the manage- ment of Dlngwell Bros.. Souris

ister lilarler and the Canadian Air

Line Pilots Association have traded

verbal punches concerning the

Canadian airlift for the DEW (dist- ant early warning) radar line in

the Canadian Arctic.

The association last month pub- lished in its magazine a brief, later presented to Mr. Marler, in Whitih it was charged that lack of gove n- ment aviation policy had resul ed in an airlift ”fiasco.”

Mr. lilarler Thursday released a text of his reply in which he ac- cused the association of making e r r o n e o u s and unsubstantiated charges and of distorting some facts and overlooking others.

WOULD HARM AVIATION ”Unfoi'tuantely. it ilthe associa- tion briefl is likely to have the effect of harming the reputation and record of Canadian aviation rather than promoting its welfare. the minister concluded. Mr. Marler took the Stoves off right at the start of his statement: ”lnac(-uratc information. incom- plete knowledge. apparent reliance on hearsay and a mistaken ten- dency to compare northern airlift operations with intercity schedule operations account for erroneous st a I e m e nt s and conclusions tlirouL',lioul the i'cpoi't." Here are saint: of the major L'hai'gcs inailc by the association and Mr. Mai'ler's replies: CIiarl:e' The record of Canadian participation in the DEW line air- lift has been deplorable.

Says Extra Curricular

Canadian Press Staff Writer

METZ. France lCPl Are extra-curricular activities taking up too much time in Canadian schools

Archibald Ruler, director of education foiw Kingston, ()nt., has a "strong suspicion” the answer is yes.

His suspicion is based on talks held with teachers from all sec. tions of Canada and his own first- hand observations during two years spent directing educational facilities in France and Germany for the children of Canadian ser- vicemen stationed lil Europe.

"I believe the time has come when we must take a careful look at the place of extra-curricular activities in our Canadian schools," says Ritter. who returns to King- aton this summer.

"We must ensure that such act- ivities are not usurping time needed for academic and voca- tional training.”

Two years ago the llt'pal'tm':nl. of national defence asked Rittcr to take on the job of establishing Canadian schools in Europe. The stocky, cigar-smoking Kingstonian jumped at the chance. CURRICULAR HEADACHE
