BENTLEY: OPTOMETRIST Taylor's Auto Electric PORT PERRY GENERATORS STARTERS FIELD COILS REPAIRED and EXCHANGED BILL TAYLOR :: Proprietor News of Miss Theodora Bryce Friends of Miss Theodora Bryce (formerly on the Port Perry High School Staff) will be interested in hearing that she is ndéw happily settled at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. She holds an assistantship which so far, she says, has consisted mainly ,of preparing biblio- graphies for one professor and charting data for a research pro- blem for another, both of these professors being in the depart- ments of home economics educa- tion. In addition to this position Miss Bryce is enrolled as a'grad- uate student and has been taking "only" twelve "credits"; which involve a good deal of reading and require field work as well. As if this were not enough, there is much scope for other activities furnished by a Sunday graduate Discussion, Group, a Dramatic Club, Badminton, Folk Dancing, a Cosmopolitan Club, a Cornell- in-China Club, and an Outing Club. There are also social func- tions and musical and other en- tertainments. One cannot help wondering whether our Amer- ican cousins do not dissipate their energies with so -many forms of activity. Truth to tell, however, our Canadian colleges have been following their ex- ample in recent years. Ithaca has impressed Miss Bryce as a very beautiful city, with its hills, lakes, streams and waterfalls. Cornell has some- thing of an old world atmos- phere, and there is a Goldwin Smith Walk, named for the dis- tiriguished English scholar and writer, long a Cornell professor, who spent his last years in To- ronto at "The Grange", now a part of the Art Gallery, Cornell had no Christmas- week vacation this year, but Miss Bryce was able to enjoy a three-day visit in Toronto with her parents, Rev. George P. and Dr. Winifred Bryce, who are re- turning soon to their work at In- dore Christian College, India. Port Perry seems to have a warm spot in Miss Bryce's. heart and she expressed pleasure at re- ceiving a copy of the Christmas issue of "The Star". A copy.of the New Year's issue is now on |its way to Ithaca and Cornell; ~ --M.E.S. The Grahams of Springbank Farm The sad news of the death of Will Graham brought back mem- ories of happy days spent at Pine Point many years ago. - This "Point" on Scugog Island, with a virgin forest of pines behind it, had long been a favourite resort for men skilled or not so skilled in the piscatorial art, for Scugog waters abounded in bass and lunge at that time: The "Point" was quite primitive then and tourists lived in the tents which they brought with them and folded up "like the Arabs" when they pulled out. For years it was a man's exclusive paradise, but a time came when a feminine invasion disturbed this Eden. Two of us coaxed a'"Big Brother" lily. i SATURDAY Phone 32 Phone 32 when ordering your BREAD AND PASTRY ORDERS GIVEN PROMPT ATTENTION " COFFEE ROLL" GERROW BROS. 4 SPECIAL-- to let us come along one summer. A grudging permigsion was giv- en on the condition that we bring our own tent, sleep on cedar boughs, limit our culinary opera- tions to'what could be performed pan, and, in short, live the simple life. Readily we acquiesced and set out on the great adventure. At this time Pine Point was. part of the big farm -- six or séven hundred acres -- of Mr. James Graham, Will's father, and on our way to camp we visited the farmhouse to make arrange- ments for the stabling of our pony and the getting of supplies. The old farmhouse, built on a , |'slope, was a picturesque spot, and--what impressed us most-- had a beautiful dairy, kept cool and fresh by water brought through pipes from a spring on the sidehill. So interested were we in house and dairy and so hospitably entertained by the family, who insisted on our stay- ing for supper, that it was too late and too dark by the time we reached our camping spot to pitch tents. Sleeping in the open promised a new experience, though, before morning broke, Mother Earth's bed had become somewhat hard and mosquitoes too attractive. Next day tents were pitched, cedar boughs gath- ered for beds, a tren¢h dug and cooking utensils got out. How good these first meals tasted! Broiled bass, potatoes boiled in their "jackets", homemade bread and butter from "Springbank Ifarm" made a meal fit for a king. IFor two weeks we lived this open-air life, with daily visits -to the farm for supplies, our only excitement a tree struck by lightning just in front of our tent. .So successful was our ex- periment that next year we re- peated it on a more ambitious scale, building a small kitchen equipped with a cook-stove, with oven, so that baked 'lunge might sometimes supplant broiled bass, and pies, filled with delicious fresh fruit from the farm, might further enrich our menu. Visits to and from the Grahams were frequent and so we came to know that fine family very well indeed. Mrs. Graglfam was a very sweet and also a very capable woman, and Mr. Graham a genial Scots- man with a keen sense of humor. Une occasion comes to mind as I write. I was acting as his secre- tary while he dictated an article intended for a farm magazine. Its subject was pioneer farming in Ontario, and frequent refer- ences to "Buck and Bright" so puzzled me that presently I paused with pencil uplifted and asked, "Who were Buck and Bright, Mr. Graham?" Such ig- norance amused the old Scots- man hugely, and it was a stand- ing joke, passed on to all and sundry, that I had never heard the stock names of a yoke of oxen, Scottish hospitality is prover- bial, 'but never have I seen it on so lavish a scale as in that fam- It was quite impossible, if one arrived at the house any- where near meal-time, to leave without staying for that meal; it was next to impossible to get them to take adequate payment for supplies from their dairy and garden; and, as for the-keep and care of our pony, oh, that was nothing, nothing at alll y Of what fine old British stock were our Canadian pioneers! And the Grahams of 'Springbank Farm" were certainly of the fin- est. According to The Star, Will was the last of that family--a worthy son of worthy parents. I missed his cheery greeting last summer as I passed the Bowling Green on my daily trips down town, but' I was re-assured on meeting him on the street one day to find him looking pretty much his old self, though he ré- marked, with a smile, "I'm not so} frisky as a fourteen-year-old". And now, .to use the quaintly beautiful Biblical phrase, he has been 'gathered to his fathers". Canada can ill spare his type. The ideals of Canada's pioneer farmers--ideals of industry, in- ependence--need to be cher- ifhed and preserved if we and those who come after us are to be true to our heritage in this Can- ada of ours, --M.E.S. oe ---------- Golden Wedding MR. AND MRS. WM, JACKSON CELEBRATE 50th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY January 1st, 1934, was the oc- casion of a very happy gathering when friends and relatives join- ed in celebration with Mr. and Mrs. Wm. J.

Mark; community singing of popular songs of 50 years ago. Following the program, an ad- dress was read by ldna Samells, tollowing which, a basket of 50 beautiful golden chrysanthe- mums was presented to Mr. and Mrs, Jackson on behalf of their seven grandchildren, "Then followed an address read by Mrs. G. Hood at the conclu- sion of which a purse of money was presented to the bride and groom by their son Allan on be- half of their immediate family and near relatives. : : Then at the opportune moment Edna Samells struck the notes of "For They are Jolly Good Fel- lows" which were quickly taken up by the guests, The gift of a cheque was re- 'ceived from Mr, and Mrs. Harry Camplin, of Ohio, sister and brother, who were unable to be present. The Honeydale Women's In- stitute presented them with a by means of a kettle and a frying i ity. clean living, and sturdy bedspread. Numerous other gifts were re- ceived from friends and relatives as tokens of the high esteem in which Mr. and Mrs. Jackson are held by their host of friends. As a climax to a very happy anniversary, the bride and groom made their way to the dining- room, where a buffet lunch was served and much enjoyed by all. The only thing to mar the enjoy- ment of the occasion' was the poor health of Mr. Jackson who was confined to his chair. his friends hope and pray for a speedy recovery and many years of future happiness to both of them, 2 4 The Addresses Dear Grandpa and Grandma: We, your grandchildren are gathered here today to help you celebrate your Iiftieth Wedding Anniversary.
