The Eastern Chronicle, New Glasgow, N.S., 10 Sep 1936: Through the efforts of the local members an additional road program has been arranged for this fall to be carried out for the purpose of providing relief for those who might otherwise be idle. The project is to widen and improve the road from the Stellarton town line to Eureka or as far as the money available will permit. The road will be put in such shape that it will be in order to take a permanent covering should the highway department feel disposed to cover it at some future time. The work which will begin this week will be done by the relief department under the direction of Engineer Tom Leyden. It will be a purely labour job and no extraordinary machinery will be employed. It is hoped that this work will take care of the need of relief expenditures in Eureka entirely and to a large extent in the surrounding towns and at the same time put the highway in first class shape. Mrs. Mell Sanderson of Brookfield, Colchester Co., is visiting in Pictou County, the guest of Miss Mary Grant, Millstream. The guest speaker at the Rotary Club luncheon today was Rev. N.D.

Two funerals followed each other in Trinity Church on Wednesday afternoon. The first, was that of Rev.T.J. Wilkinson, followed by that of Charles J. MacKinnon. Both were impressive and fitting tributes to the memories of these men. The interment of Rev.Mr. Wilkinson was at McLellan's Brook cemetery. The interment of Mr. MacKinnon at Riverside.

First they had car trouble and being a long way from a telephone were obliged to spend the night in the car. In the morning they started on foot in search of telephone and breakfast. On returning they found only a wisp of smoke and charred remains where their car had been. The party was conveyed to Sherbrooke where they await instructions from their employers.

Policeman Crossan made a clever catch last Friday when he interviewed three strange young men in West Side Park and on investigation found they possessed a supply of new clothing, cigarettes and other things somewhat beyond the purchases of wandering youths. Officer Crossan took them under control and inquiries found them charged with a store break in Baddeck. Two Mounties came from Cape Breton for them on Saturday, and incidentily their first movie in two years at Roseland. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Carolyn Wallace
