Both men say they didn't have too much trouble recognizing each other when they met June 10 at Toronto Airport. Mr. Chandler will return to England July 3rd. Joe and Syd Chandler Re-united after When Joe and Syd Chandler said goodbye in 1926, neither of them thought it would be more than half a century before they saw each other again. Syd left home that year as. a youth of 17 to come out to Canada to work for a farmer on Scugog Island while Joe, a. couple of years older, stayed in England to start a career as a food store manager. The brothers finally got together June 10 when Joe got off a BOAC jet at Toronto Interpational Air- port for a visit that will last until July 3. In an interview with the Star last week, both men said that despite large crowds at the airport and the passing of 50 years they really didn't have much trouble recognizing each other. But Syd did admit that at the airport "I was looking for somebody taller than myself, because when I left home Joe was my big brother." Syd is now a couple of inches taller than Joe. Joe now lives in the Kent County, England, town of Welling. He retired in 1963 after 46 years with the Co- op grocery stores. But it was only last Christmas' when he started to make serious plans about coming to Canada to visit his brother, and booked his flight in March. Since his arrival June 10, Syd has been showing Joe around Scugog Island and the Township, and they have made a motor-trip to Collingwood. Like most tourists to Ontario, Joe will visit Niagara Falls before he returns to England. : Joe says that the land- scape and terrain of Scugog Island are somewhat similar to the countryside of Kent County, but he is amazed at the concession roads here. 'They are so very long and straight, and they don't seem to lead anywhere in particular," he - relates with a smile. The English countryside of course is criss-crossed with narrow and winding roads, many of them not much more than lanes. They connect the numerous towns, villages and hamlets. And the distances in Canada are also a surprise for Joe. He says that the 250-mile trip the brothers 'took recently in one day would not be done as easily or quickly in England. "We just wouldn't attemp to go that far in one day." ' Most of what he's seen here has impressed him, But after looking at Canad- ian televison he says he prefers' the variety of the three networks that are ayailable in England. One could imagine that two brothers who have not seen each other for 50 years might have trouble finding things to talk about. But that has not been the case, Although just 17 when he left home, Syd remembers much about his early life in England, and is interested in finding out what has happened to old friends, his school, and various build- ings and landmarks, especially whether they were destroyed or damaged during the bombings of the last war. And Joe: is interested in the life his brother has led here in Canada. He ex- presses admiration at the way his brother had built up his home and farm on Scugog Island. When Syd first came to Canada he was assigned to work on the same farm for a wage of $11 a month, And out of his first year's wages he had to pay back the $90 still owing for his passage. In. 1936, Syd bought the farm. He work- ed it for many years and. later on took the job -as clerk of the old Scugog Township. Since retiring he' has sold off about 150 acres of the 200 acre farm. Syd never returned to England although he admits. that once or twice in the early years he did get a little homesick and lonesome. Talking about his native England, Joe points out that things are really not so bad there as some people in this country might think they are. "With the pound start- 51 yrs. ing to move back up again, and with the North Sea oil, it's not 'as bad as it looks," he says with a smile. And, he adds, his pensions from work and the government allow him. to live quite comfortably in a nice house "with a big garden. Although the two brothers corresponded by mail over the years, they had never talked to each other by phone. But that may change now. Joe recently placed an overseas call to his daughter back in Eng- land, and he says it was just as easy as calling somebody in the next town. 'So I'll probably give Syd a tingle after I get back to England July 3." : Syd was the only member of the family to come out to Canada. Along with Joe, he has a brother Horace. and sister Eileen still living in England. RELIABLE PLUMBING & HEATING LTD.
