FOUR ORPHANS
DEPORTED TO
SCOTLAND

Four little folks arrived at st.
Johnsbury Thursday morning on the
mail train and attracted much atten-
ton at the depot as they were trav-
cling alone. Investigation brought
out the fact that they had been de-
ported by the Canadian government
from Saskatchewan and were on
their way to Scotland. A kindly in
tereSt was taken in the little folks by
a lady at the depot and she got in
touch with the City Mission. Mrs.
Marshall at once came down to the
depot and took the young people to
the Y. M. C. A. building and gave
them good dinner and all the moth
eIly care passible. ~.
The four children were Janet
Drummond, aged II; William Drum
mond, aged 8; Edith Drummond,
aged Z; John Drummond, aged 5. AS
they had no relatives in their Cana
dian home they are being sent to
Scotland where their grandmother
and some uncles and aunts are living.
They are bright and intelligent but
appeared very tired as they had been
riding in the cars continuously since
they lefe their northwestern home
four days ago. They left for Portland
Thursday afternoon and will sail
from that city for their future home
in Scotland.
The children's mother has been
dead about five years and their faith
er died the past summer and as they
have no relatives in their Canadian
home they are being sent overseas to
their nearest relatives.
