ELDAD'S 90th ANNIVERSARY RECALLS MANY NAMES AND EVENTS In previous issues we have giv- en a very brief picture of events and names of early days around Solina and Eldad taken from the very extensive history written some years ago by A. L. Pascoe, for 40 years Solina editor of The Statesman. Since the services commemorating Eldad's 90th An- niversary take place June 24-25, this final article will conclude with further names and tell some- thing of Solina Sons of Temper- ance which was allied as a moral force in church and community affairs. In a prize essay written by Miss Ruth McKessock in 1923 we find these items of temperance history: "Some years before Solina Sons of Temperance No. 40, there was a lodge, of Good Templars which met each week in the church. Later a division, Darlington Centre, No. 238, met at Baker's School, which closed in 1878. No. 40 was organized on Feb. 21, 1879, and the first officers installed were: S. J. Williams, W.P., Mrs. J. C. Groat, W.A., A. J..Reynolds, R.S., Sis. E. J. Pascoe, Assoc. S., J. C. Groat, F.S., Sis. Margaret Lammiman, Treas., Thos. Baker, P.W.P., Isaiah Barclay, Chap., G. H. Joll, I. S., Eli Pascoe, Con., Sis. Jane Joll, Asst. Con., William Col- will, O.S. "A building fund was started and when Thos. Baker and A. J. Reynolds were out canvassing, they accepted butter, eggs, dried apples, etc., in lieu of money. J. H. Allin was the contractor and the hall was completed in the spring of 1881 at a cost of $300. It was opened with great cere- mony, July 1, of that year, with prominent speakers, a football game and a huge supper. The Hampton Brass Band, led by Prof. George Bice was offered free tickets, and an overflow meeting was held in the school house. Free hay was supplied for the horses by T. Baker. "For decades, the hall was the centre of Solina community life and once a year the minister at Eldad preached a temperance sermon and members in regalia marched in a body to the church. An auxiliary for younger people was the Loyal Crusaders, later the Cadets of Temperance. At one time No. 40 was the banner lodge of Ontario, and many and varied were the contests, debates and spelling bees that took place. Before the hall was completed, meetings took place in the church, so mention of the Sons of Tem- perance is quite appropriate on the 20th anniversary." Continuing the names of old time families, many of whom were mentioned last week, Frank Westlake still farms north of Solina. Charles Shortridge, whose father was choir leader et Eldad for many years, is next door neighbor to A. L. Pascoe, now re- tired to the village. Albert Bal- son, son of the late James Balson, Zion, and Mrs. Balson, daughter of the late W. T. Taylor, still re- side in Solina. Mrs. R. J. Mc- Kessock, daughter of the late Thos. Pascoe, has only lately mov- ed to Oshawa. Norval Wotton occupies the former John VanNest farm. Jack Reynolds, Jr., still lives on the Reynolds' homestead. On the brow of the hill west of the creek, still stands the small Adventist Church, unoccu- pied for years. On the adjoining farm, Harold Pascoe now operates in succession to his father, A. L. Pascoe. At Roselandvale, S. E. Werry and son Wesley carry on the tradition of the late William Werry who was a leader in Eldad Church from the day it was open- ed until laid to rest in its church- yard. The farm of the late Thos. Pascoe is now occupied by Isaac Hardy, and the Washington farm on the south is now owned by Capt. Cyril Mumford. Next west comes Thomas Bak- er, still living on the farm where he was born in 1855, the same year Eldad Church was built, and the oldest survivor of the real oldtimers of the immediate dist- rict. The William VanNest farm opposite is now occupied by Ralph Davis. The Eli Pascoe farm is still owned by, his surviving grand-daughter, and on the next corner west is a remnant of the tamarack swamp, still remember- ed by oldsters of a past genera- tion. This marks the boundary which comes outside the purview of Eldad and within the limits of Zion Church on the sideroad to the south. Due to lack of time and space it bas been found impossible to 1~ Out of Uniform Fast INTO TAILORED "CIVVIES" No need for months of waiting - no need to compromise.

An extremely large selection of fine tweeds and worsteds priced from $27.50 & up. do justice to the history written by A. L. Pascoe concerning so many grand old pioneers of the Solina and Eldad district. The main thought was to recall some- thing of the early days and prob- ably induce many who have been away for years to come back home for the 90th anniversary and revisit the scenes that have not greatly changed and the peo- ple who still carry on the tradi- tions of honored forebears. Local Lions Club Is Featured in Officiai Magazine The June issue of Lion News, official Lions Club Magazine for District "A", Ontario and Quebec, features the activities of Zone 10, with half the 32 pages donated to Bowmanville, Port Hope, Peter- boro and Port Perry, all having very successful and very active Lions Clubs. Four and one half pages were assigned to the Bowmanville club and the editorial committee turn- ed out an accomplished job of journalism, compiling text and at- tractive advertising. More than a page is devoted to a sketch of the town and district under the heading, "This Is Bowmanville" together with a report on the April zone meeting. Another page lists the itames of the offic- ers and members for 1945, and the concluding item is a short history of the local club which has just celebrated its 10th anniversary. In the editorial section also ap- pears a concise and penetrating full page essay "Elective Service" contributed by Lion Charlie Cart- er, Jr., Deputy Dist. Governor, Zone 10. With this featured con- tribution, the Bowmanville Club captures the lion's share of the June Magazine. Mr. Carter dealt with his sub- ject as follows: "It bas been said that democ- racy has reached its highest de- velopment in the English-speak- ing countries and only there, be- cause only there has it been al- lowed to develop naturally. At- tempts to give democracy to a people-any people-have failed. Failed because the prerequisite for democracy is the desire for it. Failed because it is not nor can ever be, a forced hot-house plant, but only a natural growth of human desires, needs and en- deavors. Failed because too many people, and peoples, have regard- ed it as a destination rather than a journey. "How then, arouse in other peo- ples, a desire for Democracy? "How indeed except by living it? Living it in such a way that desire will be aroused by the example set; that the growth will be stimulated by the desire; that the way will be made clearer by the growth; that the way may in the light be seen as the all. "Abraham Lincoln saw this very clearly and defined it as 'the last best hope'. "Lionism is based on desire- no one is a Lion by compulsion- desire to serve, to share. Desire to make the sunshine and the fruits of dèmocracy available to all. Secure in the knowledge that the light and the fruit once gain- ed will perpetuate itself.
