Handsome Wives Brings Happiness To Blind Heroes

(By The Canadian Press) BELGRADE, Yugoslavia. July l6 —0ne of the most interesting ex- periments in sottlement of blind war veterans has been successfully worked out in Ventrenlk. a village near here, where all the husbands are slghtless and the wives are happy and handsome.

Seven years ago the population was 60. Girls from various parts of the country came forward to marry the blind soldiers and today there are 300 men, women and children. Not a single child has been born blind and only one bride died. The village is reported by a correspondent of the South Slav Herald, printed in the English language, to be prosperous and one of the happiest in this Balkan country.

Credit for the sucuss of the scheme goes to its originator. Dr. Vclyko Ramadanovich. head of King Alexander Institute for the Blind at Zemun. He and his wife are responsble for the 30 happy marriages at Ventrenik where they are known as “father and mother".

In an interview Dr. Ramadano- vich told of the interest taken by the late King Alexander in Yuko- slav soldiers blinded in the war. He gave a large part of his per- sonal funds to help them and founded the Zemun institution.

The King, who was assassinated in France last year, agreed with a suggestion that a model village should be founded where each blind veteran should be able to work his own plot of land and become self- reliant. The men were ultimately given small farms with guaranteed markets for their produce.

On the King's suggestion that wives should be found for the vet- erans Dr. Ramadanovich and his wife advertised for girls willing to become their partners.

"We needed 30 wives but we had applications from well over Oil‘ he sa‘d. narrating this phase of the early arrangements for the colony. "Most of the girls came from Slovenia. in northweste u Yugoslavia where the 00°01! IN especially religious.

The meeting at St. Anthony Hall. Lot 5, was more or less of a. burlesque, in fact one man who attended said it was the most amusing joint political meeting he had been at for years, m. Camp- bell providing the fun as he tried to explain the subsidy question. The hall was filled to capacity. Mr. Bennett Peters was chairman.

Mr. Claire Campbell was the first speaker. representing his brill-her. Mr- Thane A. Campbell, K.C.. but he was, according to some of the listeners, a pretty p001" apologist. as his knowledge of politics could go no further back than his memorable trip with ex- Premier Saunders to Ottawa to deal with the subsidy claims, And he was a little hazy on that at. times. After interrupting Mr, Matthews several times during his speech. he confessed his knowledge of politics did not go back very ,far. He amused the audience as he tried to iell them of ex-Premler Saunders’ attempt to obtain a small portion of the subsidy due to Prince Edward Island.

Mr. Dumas Richard of D u v a r Instantly Killed When Crush- ed Beneath Engine of Piledriver.

Mr. Dumas Richard of Duvar was instantly killed when he was crushed beneath the engine of-a piiedriver. The accident occurred at ll:30 ‘Tuesday morning at Kane's Bridge, near Bloomfield. where the reconstruction of the bridge was in progress In some way the cable of the hoist became entang- led under the engine and Mr. Richard who was operating the machine went to clear the cable. Seeing the engine was about to topple he jumped into the ditch thinking to get clear but the en- gine slid down the loose bank on top of him, pinning him under- neath. The men who were working with him .had considerable diffi- oulty in getting the engine out of the ditch. Poles had to be used to pry the engine up and it was a strenuous task to extricate the man from underneath.

Dr. Holland of O'Leary was called and came immediately to the scene. He found that the man's chest was crushed by the weight of the engine and that death had probably been lnstanteous. His face and head were not marred. the whole weight going on his body. Rev. Father Gaudet who was in Summerside was notified and went to the scene at once.

Mr. Richard was a. prominent man in the district and very well liked. He was about 55 years of age and was a widower with sev- eral children- His wife predeceas- ed him about six years ago. His wife was a sister of Mrs. Blanch- ard. wlfe of Professor Blanchard of Charlottetown Much syvnnathy is extended to the children and other relatives-S.

PRISONERS’ GIFT TO GENERAL BOOTH

When General Evangeline Booth stood up in the Exhibition Building in Melbourne. Australia, to conduct the huge crowd in the singing of her own hymn, “The World for God," on the occasion of her visit, she held aloft a baton that will be wielded in future whenever this song is sung in her presence.

The baton was made by two pris- oners in Pentridge, of Australian black wood, and mounted with a little silver band that bears the in- scription, "Prom Pentrldge, i935."

It was handed to her Jliaii beiflrfl the meeting commenced, as s. token of appreciation for the work done by the Salvation Army among the prisoners, and after she accepted it she put it to immediate uses-Aus- tralian PMS! Bureau.

in his place as far as the Liberals’ claim to any very large amount of subsidies went. The Conservatives have obtained $375,000 from Ot- tawa as compared with $l00.000 by the Liberals. Besides that, Mr. Matthews said, the Conservatives Bot 840.000 from the Canadian National Railways and consider- able money for old age pensions and unemployment relief grants. besides large sums of money for education and libraries. It was o. pity, said Mr. Matthews, that Mr. Campbell's knowledge of politics was so limited or he would know that the money obtained from Ot- ml" by the present government isfihe largest amount ever ob- tain“! by any government since confederation.

Mr. W. Ira MacDonald,

, D9?" Sirw-The announcement of your departure from our midst, came a5 B Surprise to the majority 0i the ratepayers of Spflngyale School District; therefore, we, a5 your friends and neighbors for the Past year have gathered here to. night to express our regret.

During the year you have OCOLlpied the position of teacher in our school We feel 5W6 you put your best into YOU!‘ work. You have displayed talent. amiability of disposition and untirlng sacrifice putting in many long hours in the schoolroom, which were not required of you.

Few of us as parents fully réallze that a. teacher. especially in a rural schiiol- requires a double measure of tact, patience strengeth and poise to carry on their work. In a rural school, a. teacher has to deal with so many different grades; all the way from A B C's to Geometry, and no matter how hard a teacher tries to do his duty a great dear of m; success depends on the co-operation of the ratepayers especially the P339395; for if the parents Shirk their responsibilities to their child. ren. no amount of hard work by a teacher will quite make up m the lack. '

During the year you have spent with us by your untiring efforts on behalf of your scholars you have earned for yourself a place which Will always stand as a testimonial to your ability as a teacher.

Your loss will be felt not only in the schoolroom. but also in the choirs and Young People's Societies in both our churches. Your help in these capacities, and in the other spheres of activity was very much appreciated, and it is with feeling of genuine regret that we submit to your departure.

Being conscious of the interest ycu took in all the affairs pertain- ing to the good of the community we could not permit your retire- ment without showing in a more tangible manner than mere words our appreciation of you, and now we will ask you to accept this gift as a symbol of our respect.

In conclusion we beg to‘ assure you. that in leaving us. You carry our best wishes and the sincere desire of every one present for your continued success.
