As one citizen remark- ed, "it is something Whitby has needed for many years from a| newspaper standpoint." There are! several books in existence with historical records of Whitby, and | it is from these and other sources - that information for these articles have been obtained. The help of not a few citizens of today has been appreciated, and will contin- ue to be so. : So far in the series reference | has been made to Whitby as a! village; the days of Windsor Bay, | now Port Whitby, the great vol-| ume of shipping. at the harbour; | the extension of the business sec- tion from Hamar's Corners; some of the early business men; stage | coach days and the numerous ho-« tels in town before the advent of the railway; the creation of Whit- by as the capital of Ontario Coun- ty in 1851; the proposal in 1859 to establish the Whitby and Port Hu- ron Railway which the town later | bonused, to the extent of 35.000! pounds; the arrival of the' first train in the fall of 1856; passing of a bylaw by council in 1859 of | a "Free Fairs" and marked bylaw which meant much to the town from an urban. trade stand- point; some early church activi- ties; the great boom which struck the town after incorporation in 1855 and its later period of hard CARD OF THANKS In appreciation to all those who were 80 very kind to me during my recent illness in the Oshawa Hospital, for cards, flowers and gifts which 1 received also thanks to Dr. Ruddy and Lindsey and nurses In A-1, and to all those at » times; and the slow and gradual progress for tep years afterwards, some of the early prominent citi- zens as chronicled by W. H. Hig- gins, of the Whitby Chronicle; a second list of men prominent in town and later on in other parts of the world as compiled by the late Col. George Ham: brief ref- erences to early council meetings; establishment of the Mechanic In- stitute, forerunner of the library; and briefly some church history. Much has had to be omitted for lack of accurate records and no attempt has been made to go far afield in any one historical in- stance. This policy will be contin- ued in future articles. On Saturday the entire article will be devoted to early education and school history, and on, the fol- lowing Saturday, some of the ear- liest civic issues which have some bearing on those of today. Further Work Has Been Completed at Coronation Park Work on the new Coronation Park has been going ahead steadily recently. ' All the seeding has been done and in, some spots the grass is beginning to come through. The park has been rolled and all stones picked off. The fencing is completed with the exception of the gates. Footings have been poured for the huge steel gates and the stone work should be done shortly. The Committee has taken ad- vantage of the fine weather to get as much work done this fall so that the park will be ready for use next year.
