Lawton, B.A., B.C.L., addressed the Men's Association of Exmouth Street United Church on the subject "Sources of Law," at the association's regular meeting last evening. The speaker explained something of the scope of the provincial as against the federal laws and some of the duties of the various courts. James Williamson, vice-president, was in the chair and at the close of the meeting a vote of thanks, moved by Robert Gooderich and seconded by H. W. Jones was tendered to the speaker. A committee consisting of P. L. Miller, F. M. Hastings and Roy Ruddock was in charge of the refreshments served in the social hour at the close of the evening and shuffle board was enjoyed. There was a good attendance. SHOWS THE WAY First woman to study at the local navigation school is Miss Molly Kool of Alma, N. B., who is working for her coasting mate's certificate. Miss Kool is a familiar figure on the Saint John waterfront, holding down the position of first mate on the 64-ton gas schooner Jean K., which plies between here and Alma. Paul Kool, her father, is the skipper of the "coaster." (The next two items are the captions under pictures. I have scanned the pictures and will send them to anyone requesting them. There is no date on either clipping. The article on the reverse of the Isabel Carr picture is dated "Ottawa, Aug. 11" and mentions a government Order-in- Council of April 1926 being repealed by the present government. The reverse side of the Budd Fisher picture is about the provincial budgets of 1937, 1938, and 1939.)

(Hand written at the top of the clipping - 1939.) Blazing Barn In Midst of Ice-Run "Fire! Fire!" was the shout that was rendered on the Fredericton-Devon Highway bridge yesterday afternoon at the height of the ice run. There floating down river was a barn, ablaze in all its glory, giving color to the huge white cakes of ice, which surrounded the blazing barn which a few hours before had been standing on one of the islands, full of hay. As the floating fire drifted down river, it was soon lost to view as it was first enveloped in a dark cloud of smoke and then graciously vanished from sight among the floating cakes. >From the People A PIONEER To the Editor of The Gleaner Dear Sir, -- In regard to your notice of recent issue of the passing of the Glasiers from the St. John River, I might say that Raymond's History of the River St. John has some points interesting from a historical view. In 1764, in Montreal, officers of the 44th and other regiments, joined the St. John's River Society and chose Capt. Beamsley Glasier as their agent. Having obtained three years' leave of absence from his regiment, he set sail for Halifax, where he was received by the Governor, who called his council together, to consider what assistance they could give him. He then went to St. John, and took a boat up the river. Of the country he says: "The intervale lands on the St. John are wonderful - not a stone, and black mold six feet deep. No underwood; large, tall trees, all hardwood; you may drive a coach though the trees; the whole country abounds with game, and the river abounds with all sorts of small fry as trout, salmon, bass, white-fish and sturgeon." The Governor and Council consented to 20,000 acres of timber land being set aside, and a mill erected for the Society. Beamsley Glasier chose "Nashwaak Creek," and a townsite was surveyed. Next year another town was proposed, and Glasier proposed St. Anne's Point, which is the finest spot on the river for our purpose." Of his work for the settlers a contemporary said "Capt. Glasier has done everything that was possible for any man to do, and more than any one else in his situation would have done to serve the Society." His descendants, Senator John and Stephen Glasier, were the first lumbermen to bring a drive over Grand Falls. At that time they employed six hundred men. I might add that Grant No. 1 in the Crown Land Office here was made out to Beamsley Glasier. He was also the first member to go from the new County of Sunbury to the Parliament at Halifax. Respectfully, A DESCENDANT Fredericton, March 21st, 1918
