On HM S9th Blrthday Thomas Pingle has celebrated another birthday, and its the 89th one since he first saw the ]ight of day in the village of Unionvifle up in Markham Township. The occasion was marked by a family gathering: at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Samn Glanville, Elgin jStreet, where Mr. Plagie makes Lhis home with his daugbter. It was one of those old turne famlly parties when ail the relatives ga- ther round the festive board and a meal is served fit for a king. There was laughter, rei~iniscent stories and- rèal wholesome good trne enjoyed by ail. Then alter the dinner ail turned in ta clear off the tables, get the dishes wash- ed and the rooms set ini order for a slng-song, music, more chatter, and then carda. If there's any pastime Mr. Pigle enjoys most >it's a game of euchre and he plays La canny game which makes bis topponents sit up and take notice. i The Plagies are a large famnily, tthere being originally ten chil- Sdren. AUl are living except Mrs. Plagle who died in December 1932 and Oscar who was killed over- seas in the world war in 1916. 1Those present at Mr. Pingle's birthday party on Nov. 3Oth were Mr. and Mrs. Samn Gianville (Fio- irence), Mr. and Mrs. A.

Pingie has lived in Bow- manville for 62 years and for 45 years was a cabinet maker la the Dominion Organ & Piano Co. fac- tory. His hobby has been music and for many .years he played the 1clarinet in the famous Organ Fac- tory Band as weil as the 45th Regirnent Band. We spent a pîca- sant hour with him the other ai- ternoon recalling old turnes but the sad part was many of bis friends of yesterycar had passed on. It«was arnusing: ta sec Tom drawing away gt bis pipe which was held between the oa]y two teeth in bis head - an upper and a lower wbich luckily met. Isn't it great bow nature looks after littie tbings like that? Much of the conversation oea- tred around empioyees and events of the old D.0. & P. Co. in its pa]rny days.

Hender- son farm, now known ai "Wiilow Acres." 1Mr. Morriil for several years had very close association with thc Toronto Board of Trade and from this experience was able to give valuabie inforrnation in gettiag a new Chamber of Commerce off ta a good start. It bas a moat imnportant function in promotmng publicity for Uic good of the'comrnunity and la voiclag thc opinions of Uic citizens inaa collective way to governing bod- ies, stated Uic speaker. Another duty of Uic C. of C. is ta promote trade and ladustrY. This should net be difficult la Bowrnanviile with a good bigb- way and railways and being situ- ted between two great metropoli- tan chies. Tourist business is an- other important source of revenue and if Bowmanviile hasn't a tour- ist camp it should have one, he said. Summer cottagers at Uic lake should be greatly increased by improving Uic road.

Another fuaction of a C. of C. is to affiliate with a Better Busi- ness Bureau ta overcome india- criminate practices, u n et h ic a ways of dolag business and stamp out untruthful advertising.' To have an organization such as this rua smoothly and effectively it must have sufficient money in the treasury. This means a large membership and an.adequate fée. Mcmbership drives should be planaed to do a thorough and con- aistent job as members must be continualiy sold and laterested in the various activities of improv- lag the geacral welfare of the community. Co-operation between thc local press and Uic C. of C. is of prime importance, Mr. Morrill intimat- cd, ta influence Uic people and as a moulder of public opinion. Mucb work in laying a proper foundation is aecessary for Uic succeas of such an organization. It requires leadership and co- operation on Uic part of ail public spirited and unselfisb citizens te reacb your objective.
