FRANK CHAPPEL While not a pioneer in the sense that settlers in this community a generation or so earlier were pion- eers, Mr. Everson, none-the-less lived, served and shared with his neighbours--through most eventful years. Some of those events seem far removed from us at this age. Though real and stirring enough at the -time they now appear but shadows of greater things in store. For example: in 1856, the first reat Canadian railroad, -- then nown as the Grand Trunk, -- was laid through the small hamlet of Darlington, Ont. and the Village of Oshawa thus linking up Mont- real with Toronto. This was the year that Mr. Everson was born. Until he was a boy of ten, there was no such thing as an Atlantic telegraph cable. News was brought to this continent by ship from overseas. Thus came..reports of Balaclava, the Crimea and the end of the war with Russia. News of Cawnpore, Lucknow and the out- break of the Indian Mutiny, came in similar fashion. MM AT CONFEDERATION As a schoolboy, Mr. Everson heard of the assassination of Presi- flent Lincoln and through wekly newspapers of the day observed | the varying fortunes of the civil war between the Northern and Southern States. At the age of four- teen, he took part in the rejoicings and saw ushered in, the first na- tional birthday of our own Domin- jon of Canada, in July 1867. He was a young man of voting age when for the first time our present system of voting by a sec- ret ballot became effective. Inter- est in politics on any scale was in those days a prime topic of conver- sation, quite: apart from personal activity or party leanings. Thus, the policies of Sir John A. Maec- donald and Joseph Howe were weighed and analysed, against pro- nouncements made by such figures | as George Brown or Sir Charles | Tupper. Indeed, the young Cana- | dian was generally well versed in| Old Country' politics as well, since | he followed and compared reports | of speeches by such giants as Wil- liam Ewart Gladstone, the Grand Old Man, and Bejamin Disraeli, (later Lord Beaconsfield). | TO OSHAWA IN 1893 From the nearby village of Dar- | lington, Mr. Everson came to Osh- | awa, -- then a small town of barel i 4,000 people, in 189.. Shortly | after he became established, he | witnessed the laying of the first tracks and passage of the first elec- tric car of the Oshawa Railway as it rolled by his premises on the | ma'n street in the summer of | While not prominently identified ' in local political life, his wiry fig- | ure and active mind made quick appraisal of whatever movements were afoot. Keenly critical, he also | had the happy faculty of getting | to the kernel of things without too many words. Many a perplexed councillor, or bewildered citizen, | sought his quiet counsel on civic aff» ~s. Sharp, direct and shrewd- | ly given, his opinions invariably | carried weight. In this small town | {in those days of growing pains | there was plenty of room for such | clear thinking. AIDED MANY CAUSES There were lively discussions and | widely divided views on the vital | {question of water supply, until the present system was commenced | and made effective in 1904. Pro- | posals for the new Public Library | vigorous supporter. Similarly, the hospital, so wenderfully projected |! {| by the women of Oshawa, found {him an active canvasser for funds | { in~ 1909. V ie in 1905-6 saw in Mr. Everson a || ! While declining office, (and all |} {his life, Mr. Everson seemed to | | shun publicity, there was no more | |ardent worker for the Red Cross ! {and also for the Patriotic Fund |for dependents of Service men, | during the war, 1914-18. Even more |recently, when in his 80's during | the last war, he was an earnest, |active helper in providing accom- | modation, organizing and laying {out premises for the Red Cross, | over Kresge's Store and elsewhere 'as need arose. Often brief and to the point, his comments on other days and other ways indicated the reflective mind | |of a keen observer of the trend of passing times. And so at last in the fullness of years, another sterling character is gone from our midst: another link with the past brok- en. Elsewhere in these pages, re- ifetence has been made to the won- | derful family of which he was the | head. Strong family ties of loyalty |given so warmly by father and | mother, begat equal loyalty from { the children. Sons, daughters and | grandchildren, through the many | years. looked to him with affection- { ate regard. Truly, such regard was { mutual.

BOLOGNA OSHAWA THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Combining Fhe Oshawa Timer and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle' WHITBY VOL. 12--No. 197 OSHAWA-WHITBY, MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 1953 PAGE THREE Was Fair Feature ° Last Service In Old Northminster Church The last service of Northminster United Church, at the location on the corner of Simcoe Street and Arlington Avenue, was held yester- day morning, with the pastor Rev. H. A. Mellow in the pulpit after the holidays. The church was filled to capacity for the momentous occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Adam Hawthorne, 78 McLaughlin Boulevard, present- ed their infant daughter, Rosalind Jean, for the sacrament of baptism. The soloist was Lester Hartley who sang the beautiful hymn "Jerusalem in England". Taking for his subject 'Greater than the Temple" Mr. Mellow spoke of the objective at North- minster that has been, for as long as the church has stood in. its present location, that of having a permanent building which would give greater opportunity of serv- ing in the community. In a rem- iniscent mood, Mr. Mellow spoke of the happenings during the last 25 years at Northminster, the joy- ous i of weddi and baptisms, the times of sadness when the congregation mourned at a loved member's death, the lean times when the church was support- ed . by the toil of the members and above all the encountering with God. The story of the Roman soldier who entered the "Holy of Holies" 'be in the ransacked Temple of Jeru- salem and found "nothing" was used gs an illustration ta the fact that the Church exists of more than four walls. King Pavid be- lieved that man ought to express his reverance for God by establis- ing as good a place oi worship as possible but he realized that the place was not the important part of the Temple, but the ex- perience of meeting God there, was. putting the Temple first, and told them that '"'Something greater is here". Mr, Mellow charged his listeners that it was important to take with them to the new building, the sentiment of the old building but {leave behind the sentimentality for | the old building. He closed by saying "When we come to the final moment in this building, we realize that there is something greater than the building and it is our privilge to take it to the new building." An invitation is extended to the members of the churches through- out the city to visit Northminster at the new location on the corner of Simcoe Street and Rossland Road, next Sunday evening. While | the interior will not be completed for some time, the church is open for worship and the welcome will warm. July Active Month For Health Dept. A summary of the work and accomplishments of Oshawa Board of Health is given in three reports issued covering activities in the month of July. Supervisor of Public Health Nurs ing, Miss Gertrude Tucker report- ed: 796 visits were made to 391 families. Sixty-eight infants attend- ed the Child Health Centre at the Legion Hall. Six of these were ex- amined by the Paediatrician. Fifty- one doses of triple antigens were given for protection against diph- theria, whooping cough and tetan- us; 17 smallpox vaccinations were given, Whooping cough and chickenpox dominated in the list of 71 com- municable diseases reported. One new case of tuberculosis was re- ported. The TB clinic continues to provide x-ray service to all who request it. . MANY NEW BABIES There were 101 babies born in the city during June. Thus the total for the first six months of the year is 654, a figure very close to that at the same time last year. In the same six months of 1953, there were a total of 18 infant deaths, ten of which were still births. January to June, there were 202 marriages. VISIT DAIRY FARMS Food Inspector Dr. J. E. Watt reported that his department made periodic checks of dairies and dairy farms which supply the Oshawa area. From 136 raw milk samples Car Struck Pole, Man Badly Hurt A hotelman from Sudbury faces court charges as a result of an accident yesterday noon at Green- bank. One of his passengers has a possible fractured skull. Adelard Rocheleau, Balmoral Hotel, Sudbury, was driving his parfel truck south on highway No. 12. He failed to note the nature of the sharp turn at Greenbank. His car left the road, hit a tele- phone pole and rolled over, ending up in front of Herb Hook's store. Neither the driver nor the tele- phone pole were hurt, but it will take $1,000 to repair the truck. Provincial Constable W. Smith in- vestigated.

Pure bred Shorthorns, Aberdeen-Angus and Herefords held the spotlight at the judging ring. Winners of classes here |are on their way to Ottawa today for further showings | at the Central Canada Exhibition.
