- The sudden death of Mrs, Maud
Stehr on September 4th will mean
a great loss to the labor move-
ment and also to her many
friends, especially in the Colling-
wood and South Vancouver dis-
tricts, where she had resided for
many years,

She was born in Coleraine,
Londonderry, North Ireland, In
her teens she studied stenography
and shorthand and received a dip-
loma for this work from the Royal
Society of Arts in London, After
Coming to Canada she worked in
the law office of the late Judge
McDonald in McLeod, Alberta,
before he was elevated to the
Bench,

While working in Calgary she
Met and married John Stehr in
1981, who was a student in en-
gineering at that time, Up to
this time Maud had been raised
and educated in the most conser-
Vative tradition, But the Hungry
Thirties made her take a deep
and penetrating look into the
effectiveness of all the organiza-

-tions and institutions she had

| _ Served and faithfully supported,

She found them wanting and totally
impossible to solve the terrible
problems of those years,

An intensive study of political

economy convinced her that her’

place was inthe Communist Party
and she became an active member
for 19 years,

Her law office experience en-
abled her to help in the trials
of six unemployed voys charged

Tribute to Maude Stehr

on “Bloody Sunday.” She sat
forfour days a week for several
weeks taking notes at the trial,

Her love for children was
shown by the fact that she be-
came a member of the Jubilee
Summer Camp Committee and
was always a willing worker until
she developed a heart condition,
She was a member of the Glad-
stone PTA and also of the Nor-
quay Ratepayers Association un-
til itdissolved. During the Second
World War she was an active
member of the Housewives Lea-
gue,

Her home was always avail-
able for any meetings of a pro-
gressive nature, As her heart
condition developed, she found it
difficult to be active but she
continued to the last to visit and
express her convictions espec-
ially regarding our need for peace
to people and friends wherever
she met them,

Maud Stehr has passed away
and the greatest tribute her many
friends can pay her memory
would be for them to step for-
ward to fill the gap which she

has left in the progressive move- .

ment, We extend our deepest
sympathy to her husband Jack
Stehr and to her son and daugh-

ter.
