    Christene Allemang served as tireless community worker Christene Allemang, who offered hope and brought joy to disabled youth, young adults and cancer sufferers despite her own battle with cancer, died Sunday at K-W Hospital. She was 49. Allemang, who was choir director, organist and a member of First Mennonite Church in Kitchener, was a founder in 1982 of the Independent Living Centre which helps disabled young people live independently in the community. "She was always so positive,"centre director Roy J. Steckley said Monday, adding that her untiring efforts were crucial to the success of the centre's early years. "Chris had that persistent determination and just never gave up." Steckley said. She was instrumental in establishing the group's first apartment in Kitchener and also contributed to the centre's advocacy, peer support and barrier design programs, Steckely (sic) said. The centre now offers 13 programs for more than 300 people and has staff of 130. Allemang also worked closely with Woman Alive, a national Christian conference and convention organization for women and married couples. For the past 16 years she was the group's music director. "Chris was just a fantastic person," said Neil Maxwell, founder and director of Women Alive. Maxwell, who lives in Barrie, said in a telephone interview Monday that Allemang was an "outstanding musician" and had written a hymn book that is used nationally. In a tribute to be handed out at the church, Maxwell wrote: "Chris was a survivor who fought a long battle with cancer and who would time and time again rebound and with a smile say, 'We won again.' "She was a model of courage and determination who enjoyed laughter and was able even in her last earthly days to bring joy to other," Maxwell wrote. Allemang was a popular speaker and often her audiences numbered more than 1000. After operations for breast cancer in 1972 and a spinal tumor in 1981, which left her in a wheelchair, Allemang was often called on by doctors to serve as a resource person, visiting local hospitals and offering hope and encouragement to cancer patients depressed about their condition. Surviving are her husband, Vernon; two sons, Peter and Stephen; one sister, Georgia Knell, and one brother, Robert Hodgins. The funeral service will be conducted on Wednesday at 2: 30 p.m at First Mennonite Church.

    RAILWAY CROSSING A DEATH- TRAP.

    Benjamin Bricker, of Roseville, and his grand-daughter, Miss Maud Bricker, narrowly escaped an awful death Wednesday morning, driving across the C.P.R. tracks on the Roseville Road, west of the Galt cemetery by being struck by the 10.23 express, going east. As it was, the rear end of the waggon was struck, and Mr. Bricker was violently hurled to the road, the wagon smashed into kindling wood, and the horse ran away. Miss Bricker escaped injury by jumping, but the extent of Mr. Bricker's injuries are not known. Immediately after the accident the train was brought to a standstill, and Mr. and Miss Bricker were taken to the station in the train, and Dr. Hawk was summoned. The doctor ordered Mr. Bricker removed to the hospital, but before he had an opportunity to examine him. a message was received from Roseville, asking that he be taken home. The ambulance conveyed him thence.

    The Galt Reformer says that the crossing where the accident occurred is a veritable death trap, and that It was nothing short of a miracle that Mr. and Miss Bricker were not killed.

    Death of Mr. James Barton

    This well-known resident of Roseville died on Friday morning last after an illness of about a weeks' duration, of congestion of the brain.

    There were probably few men more widely known throughout this section than Mr. Barton. When quite a young man, and while his parents resided near this town, on the Mill Creek road, he entered the employ of the late Archibald Henderson in the mill more lately owned by Messrs. Broomfield & McDougall, occupying the position of head sawyer from some years. Finally he established himself in a mill at Roseville. His success there was quite marked, although misfortune overtook him in the burning of his mill and much valuable property without insurance which severely taxed his energies to overcome. But he did overcome them, and at the time of his death had succeeded in establishing not alone a large and flourishing business, but an excellent financial standing. As a business man Mr. Barton was in every sense most trustworthy, and any bargain or contract entered into by him was carried out on his part to the letter. Going to work as young as what he did, his opportunities for education were necessarily limited; but in his business affairs he was most accurate, - surprisingly so to many who dealt with him. He leaves a wife and six children, four girls and two sons, one of his daughters being married to Mr. Clemens, who has been connected with the mill for some years, and his son being book-keeper in his mill. Both his parents are dead.

    Mr. Barton was a member of the church of the United Brethren. His funeral took place on Monday morning last, from his residence to the church and cemetery of that denomination just west of the village. The attendance was very large, the church being much crowded and many being compelled to remain outside. Very earnest address were delivered by bishop Sherk, Rev. Mr. Bowman and another Rev. gentleman. After an impressive prayer at the grave, the body was lowered to its resting place, and the place that has known James Barton for so many years shall know him no more forever.
