OLD TIMER PASSED AWAY

‘

Another long time resident of .Ter-
race passed over the divide on Sunday
when Martin Andrew -Cramer died at
‘his home on the south side of the rail-
way track. He had been in poor health
for some time. He was a native of
Plymouth, India, and with his wife
and family came to Canada in 1919,
and -for a number of years was em-
ployed on the C. N. R. He was 77
years of age. He is survived by his
wife and his son Edward who is living
in the south, Ployd of Terrace and two
daughters who also live in Terrace.
The funeral was held from the home
on Tuesday afternoon.

IN MUNICIPAL CIRCLES

‘With the municipal election little
more than a month away people are
beginning to speculate as to who will
come out for the seat held by the late
H. A. Swain. To date no names have
been announced and those who have
been approached refuse to consider the
job. The feeling seems to be that it
is a thankless task, The commission-
ers do not draw the honorarium that
is coming to them, but they do get a
lot of complaints, mostly, however,
from non-taxpayers. But the ecommis-
sioner are entitled te a set, sum as a
small consideration for the time and
the effort they spend on behalf of the
general public. It was very nice of
them not to accept this honorarium,
especially the first few years while
the work was getting organized, and
the expenses entailed were an un-
knowna quantity. But the. village is
well organized and the channels of
revenue established. Also the costs of

“ commissioners to'draw their pay. At
the beginning of the year is a good
time to start, and the amount can be

‘labor -is seldom appreciated.

.Week took a large number of people

PROVINCIAL PARKS IN CANADA

The winter time, long evenings with
but Httle to do, especially for we who
are stuck away out in the sticks, is the
time to plan on next summer's vaca-
tion. We most likely will not take a
yacation, but, as the women make out
many orders from the mail order cata-
logues that they never send away, nor
did they think it possible to send them
away, it will do us no harm to study
the good places to go and to make our
plans for an imaginary holiday. In
the past something has been published
in these columns about the National
Parks or play grounds. Now we pro-
pose to briefly mention the provinclal
parks.

In regard to public play grounds B,
C. is by far the leader of all the pro-
vinces, with 25 provincial parks, the
area of which is greater even than the
total area of some-of the provinces,
