Christmas toy. was remov- ed from the throatmf five-year-old of Thomas Harold’ Wedge. son Wedge of Ebbsfleet, by Dr. E. T. ‘Danton in the Prince County Hos- pltai swallowed it while at play. The ob- struction was loczitrd with thg aid of a flucroscope and with a pair of forceps it was worked up so that it could be caught with the fingers. The fading time of the year had once again succeeded to the balmy days of summer: the trees had reached their final tone of colour and the leaves had fallen to crumble in the dusk-this autumn wisdom speaks eloquently of the short span of mortal life, when the soul of man must return to Him who created it. This was very sadly exemplified, when on Nov. 10, 1935, Mr. Alexander LeClair departed this life at the comparatively early age of 55 years, for that bournc from which no traveller returns. This short season on earth has brought him to an eternal day.

Fraser, Librarian of, the Legislative and Public Library, Charlottetown. Death occurred at his home, Prince Street, after a brief illness. The late Mr. Ambrose David Fraser was representative of the finest typo of citizenship which Prince Edward Island has Dro- duccd. Born at Georgetown on Nov, 25, 1955, h; early identified himself with educational and fem- porance activities> and taught school in many parts of the Prov- ince, including Vernon. Dunstsff- nage. Malpeque. Eanning, Murray Harbour and. Centrevlile, Bcdeque. Subsequently he d in news- paper work. first with Thc Guard- ian and later with The Patriot. Ho also served for a season as purlcr on the old ferry steamer running bet l Charlottetown and South- port. Over thirty years ago‘ he was appointed to the l>0aition of Lib- rarian of the Iicgislative Library, and it was under his charge that the Dodd Lib ary-tho first public library in Ch rlottefown-waa in- augurated. In addition to his duties as librarian. Mr. Fraser gave valued lfllblilnu. in drafting legislation and in compiling information for the use both of the Legislature and the general public. No subject accused alien to him; his grasp of details was no less surprising than his wide range of knowledge. Newspaper men, legislators, law- yers, tourlats-cveryons ace-king out-of-the-way information came to m. Fraser at thePublio Library in their difficulties, and he rc- spondad with unfailing courtesy and kindness. Ho passionately loved books, but he was still more the younger generation of foilnd of guidance or inspiration. As a school teacher in his younger dws, Mr. Irasar was out- standingly successful, and will long be remembered by many cf our older readers in this capacity. Ho is survived by his widow. for- marl!
