Mr. George Frederick Roth, Q.C., died in May at Swift Current, Saskatchewan at the age of seventy-one. Mr. Roth was born in Selkirk, Ontario; in 1912 he moved to Regina and then to Swift Current in 1918, where he articled in law. He was admitted to the bar in 1920, was made King's Counsel in 1937, and became a bencher of the Saskatchewan Law Society in 1955, a position which he held until his death. To the community of Swift Current he gave many years of devoted service in such varying capacities as president of the Swift Current Bar Association, as solicitor for the city and the hospital board, and as president of the Swift Current Agriculture and Exhibition Association. He was also .a member of the Odd Fellows Lodge and of the Swift Current Rebeccas and the Elks Lodge, as well as one of the original promotors and past president of the Elmwood Golf Club. Mr. Roth had also served as a member of the University of Saskatchewan Senate. He is survived by his wife and a daughter. Judge B. M. Wakeling Judge Bertram Melville Wakeling died in Saskatoon, on Sunday, May 16, 1965, after having served sixteen years as magistrate in the Saskatoon City Police Court, as well as having been on call for fill-in duties since his retirement in 1961. Born in Hereford, England, educated at Ascham House School, Eastbourne and St. Paul's School, London, Judge Wakeling emigrated to Canada in 1905. At this time he worked on a farm near Melville, and then as an eight-dollar-a-month clerk in Moosomin; but in time he took up the practice of law in Saskatoon, and was made a King's Counsel in 1929, and appointed as magistrate for the Saskatoon City Police Court in 1945. Several of his judgments aroused wide public interest, particularly his ruling in 1950 that Jehovah's Witnesses could distribute their literature on city streets, and his affirmation of The Saskatchewan Trade Union Act, this latter decision being later upheld by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. He was an ardent golfer, once winning the city championship, and was past president of the Saskatoon Golf and Country Club. He was likewise devoted to work with the Anglican Church, for many years serving as chancellor of the Saskatoon Diocese and also as a member of the council and senate of Emmanuel (now Emmanuel and St. Chad's) College. He is survived by his wife, one son and three daughters.
