Hundreds Stand in Rain Wednesday at Funeral Of Victims of Bryson Week-End Drownings: More than 200 persons gathered at St. John’s Cemetery, near Campbell’s Bay, on Wednesday morning as the four victims of last Saturday night’s tragic accident were borne to their last rest.

The four, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lance Sr., their daughter Rose and her husband Hermidas Asselin, died when the car in which they were riding plunged into the Ottawa River at Bryson.

Ten children of Mr. and Mrs. Asselin, the youngest 11 months and the oldest 16 years, were orphaned by the tragedy. They are being looked after by relatives and friends. Although there is no organized fund to assist them, many people have left money with merchants in the district and others have paid for grocery orders to be sent to the children.

Monday night a coroner’s jury, hearing evidence at Bryson, found the driver of the car negligent.

Two persons escaped from the death car. They are the driver, Edouard Dubeau, 40, of Otter Lake, and Emile Gallant, 62, of Campbell’s Bay.

Both owe their lives to the courage and quick thinking of a 19-year-old Quyon hockey player, Carl Foley, who was spending the evening in Bryson.

Pontiac Provincial Member Urges Government Pave Hull Highway: Raymond Johnston, M.L.A. for Pontiac, seconding the Quebec Legislature Speech from the Throne, told the House that Quebec is a province “where a man can bring up a family in law-abiding surroundings; where his children may receive the best modern education; and where there are opportunities for youth.”

He said public health measures have been expanded and such factors as the death rate from tuberculosis are being reduced.

Improvement of education has brought a world demand for graduates of universities such as Laval, the University of Montreal, and McGill.

The number of primary schools has been extended, bringing opportunities to farmers’ children.

“Our highways are being rushed to keep up with the industrial development of the province,” Mr. Johnston said. “We must build roads to the great iron ore and titanium developments as well as to our gold fields. It is production only that keeps Quebec alive.”

The Pontiac member made a plea for paving of the Hull-Chapeau highway. He said Premier Duplesis has indicated the Quebec Government will join the Federal and Ontario Governments in a project for a bridge from Pembroke, Ont., to Allumette Island in Quebec province.
