* Robert Stanley Weir death
* O Canada National Anthem lyrics
Page 11 has one column headings: "JUDGE R. S. WEIR" "Admiralty Jurist and Prolific Writer--Won Prizes for Poetry and Drama" (see) First report coverage on the the death of Robert Stanley Weir, famous for writing the English lyrics to O Canada. I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 26 pages, light toning, more so along the central fold, otherwise good.
