1t is CHEEKY and inspiring to read
that many hundreds of small deposi-
tors are starting savings accounts with
the banks in the city. their purpose
being to accumulate funds with which
to purchase or construct homes. Their
action is a substantial contribution to
the solution of the housing problem in
the city. They are beginning at the
foundation, very solid foundation.
Their plan will aid the city and they
will have q vast benefit personally
from systematic savings. They will
have a new purpose in life, a plan to
be completed, task to be done. The
man who nurses his ambition to live
under his own roof has made himself
a better citizen by developing that am
bition. He will be a better citizen
for the community, because he will
have a deep interest in the right de-
velopment of the city.-Ohio State

Frederick Richard Sadlier

From the pleasant country
home that had been his for fiji.
ty years, one of our oldest, and
most respected citizens passed
quietly, peacefully, and pain
lessly away, at noontide on
Monday, December thirteenth
frederick Richard Sadlier
was born at Drummondville,
Province of Quebec, March %,
1889. Always a quiet and re-
served disposition, there is pro-
badly no one, now living, who
had heard him refer very often
to his early life, but it is safe to
believe that it was pleasant and
happy as was all life in the
Canadian villages, of that day.
His connection with the rail
way began young, and lasted
between fifty and sixty years !;
since then he has enjoyed a
needed and we'll earned rest.
Mr.. Sadlier was a man of the
highest integrity; faithful to
the interests of the Company
that he served, and to the nome
that he loved, which was made
happy by a good wife, and iov-
ing children.
His life partner left him four
teen years ago, and with four
of their children, awaits him in
the Great Beyond. He leaves
a son and two daughters, sons
in-laws, grandchildren, of
whom one, Richard, perpetu-
ates the name. and great grand
children. Many of these were
gathered at his grave.
Mr.. Sadlier was one of the
seven men that bravely built
Christ Church, Island Pond.
Only one now survives.
Funeral services, conducted
by Rev. Herbert A. Wood, Rec
tor of st. Barnabas, Berl;:,. \,
H., were held on Thursday :.f-
ternoon. Interment in the fam
lily lot in old cemetery.
