- Friends who filled the house to capacity gathered to welcome home Charlie Kaulback, as he is known by his friends, and given a gracious welcome by himself and wife. His mother, Mrs. Louisa Kaulback, has been ill for some months, and all are glad to see her able to enjoy the party. While male members of the party enjoyed a game of cards in the kitchen and members chatted everywhere, the living room was made lively with music. Mrs. Quintin Kaulback, violin; Donald Wright, guitar, and Mrs. V. L. Wright at the piano. A pleasing feature was a request song by Betty accompanied by Marion Kaulback on piano. She sang “Bell Bottom Trousers”. This song made a hit at the school concert, when her brother Jackie played the music on the guitar. A sum of money was collected and presented to Mr. Kaulback by C.E. Wright in the spirit with which it was given, and Charlie, though taken by surprise, acknowledged the gift in a few words. A lovely lunch was served by the ladies after which all joined in singing God Save the King. Charlie has re-enlisted in the army and will be posted in the near future.

Irish Stubborness
Reading through the booklet “Memory’s Album” by Mrs. Margaret Russell I came across this delightful story, an example of Irish Stubornness.
“Paddy O’Flynn was dying. Paddy had quarrelled with the priest, and he had not attended Mass or been to the Sacraments for a long, long time. Paddy, dying gave no sign of repenting, but Paddy must not die without seeing a priest, making his peace with God.
The nearest priest was Kentville, well over thirty miles away. Paddy’s soul must be saved.
A neighbour started for Kentville on foot. He ran as much as he could. Yes, many of the miles he ran, until he reached the door of the priest.
The priest brought the messenger back with him via horse and wagon. The priest did not spare the horse as he urged him over the miles. They reached Paddy’s door.
He would not see the priest.
Paddy died in his Irish stubbornness.
Today, years later, when a child shows strains of stubbornness, it is not uncommon to hear him classed as being as “contrary as Paddy O’Flynn”.

- Wayne Morse of Morristown, owner and operator of his mill on the Stanburne Road lost his foot in an accident. He had started the mill and leaned over to dislodge a shim when the carriage lever caught him and pushed him toward the rotary saw. He threw himself on the carriage and was carried to the end of the mill. The foot coming in contact with the saw was cut completely off from heel to toe. After no help could be had from New Germany, Mrs. Fancy contacted Wm. Gaul who rushed him to the Berwick hospital by car. The foot was amputated above the heel and Mr. Morse is doing as well as can be expected. Having just started sawing the accident put a serious set back to his work and means a lot to the men who were employed by him.
- On a lighter note. Mrs. Foster Russell is heartily congratulated on winning the jackpot of $99 on a quiz show. Mrs. Russell is a keen quiz fan and had the answer to a good many riddles won by others on the drawings. She recently won an electric griddle on another show. Congratulations.
- Mr. & Mrs. Thaddeus Gaul had a television set installed on Saturday by Raymond Balsor. These folks are both unable to get out much and we hope they will enjoy it. (It was a gift from their son, Joseph.)
