editor j boley memoer of the canadian weekly newspaper association and um ontarioquebec division of the owjfa the editors corner we cant stop pumping now at the beginning of the century two persons were needed to play a pipe organ the organist was at the key board and someone else was at the pump handle and all the years of practise all the skill of the musician s fingers came to naught when the man at the pump stopped pumping in europe today thousands of canadians are playing a different kind of music they are playing it well with cannon and guns their performance is a thrill for a listening world a display of masterful tec hnique developed through years of hard practise just as the organist of olden days depended on the youth at the pump our troops depend on us at home to keep them going victory loans successfully conducted during the past three years have been vital to the training of our armed forces but they are not enough one hours pumping of the old organ could not keep the organist playing for one hour and a quarter similarly just so long as the canadian invasion forces are playing their part on european soil we must do ours here we cant stop pumping now umehouse 1877 we ve talked about hornby and stewarttown as they were nearly seventy years ago and this week were going to dig back into the history of the village of limehouse as you will see limehouse too was a thriving place then with lime kilns and saw mills going full blast today the lime kilns are idle but picturesque momentoes of a bygone day the whole setting of limehouse village is beautiful and reminds one of the north country with us jutting rocks subterranean caves and hidden springs with all this however there are majestic old trees and an abundance of shrubbery limehouse is still a lovely little village the following account of the village was compiled m 1877 the property where limehouse stands today was owned in the first place by the hull and meredith families about the year 1840 mr clendenning pur chased the land and saw mill and named the place fountain green in 1857 the postofnce was establish ed and john newton esq appointed postmaster which position he still retains the place at that time took the name of limehouse the first lime kilns were fcytwo separate compantesjmeasre bescoby and worthington and lindsay and farquhar each firm erected kilns and manufactured lime on a large scale in the year 1857 messrs gowdy and moore finally purchased the works owned by mr bescoby and mr farquhar bought out mr lindsay and became sole owner messrs gowdy and moore have six kilns each v of them capable of burning 5000 bushels per year or 10000 bushels in all they have a water lime mill which last year ground 6000 barrels they have also a saw mill which will manufacture 10000 feet of lumber the farqu bar limeworks consist of four kilns which are of about the same capacity as gowdy and moore s mr farqu har also owns a good free stone quarry which is in full working order mr john newton built a mill in 1850 which during the building of the g t r ground all the waters lime used in the construction of the road in the year 1862 he put new machinery in and started a woollen mill which is still in operation he has one set of manufacturing machinery and also does all kinds of custom work he has also a saw mill adjoining the factory in 1872 messrs meikle newton co com menced the manufacture of mineral or fire proof paint in 1874 james newton became the sole proprietor these paints are obtaining a wide reputation and are now generally used for the painting of cars roofs and machinery of all kinds there being eight distinct shades of the paint the present capacity of the mill is about 500 tons per year which can be doubled should the demand increase he had a sample at the centennial exhibition for which he obtained the bronze medal he lias also shipped sample lots to australia where he expects to do a large trade thfe amount of goods shipped from the lime- bottse station during the year 1 876 was 4 1 30 tons prin- cipafiy kme and lumber at a cost of 5004 flxmn the above you can perhaps picture lime house mft was seventy years ago if any of our readers have bits of interesting and historical data about their faniknty homesteads etc we would be very pleased to jlrfte about them history is especially fascinating wtvflls it concerns the places and people you know lunatics never cooperate the story used to be told by a learned divine in montreal accompanied by the superintendent he was walking through the violent ward of an insane asylum it struck him that two or three of the inmates could create havoc if they combined on a plan we have no fear said the doctor lunatics never cooperate if memory serves lord halifax in his toronto speech suggested something in the way of cooperation for the future safety and welfare of british countries and despite the fact that what he proposed included the power of veto by any member his address was frowned upon in certain official and other quarters the difference between lunatics who never co- operate and canadians wko dotct like english ideas is that canadians will when almost too late get to gether with other people to try to save themselves one reason perhaps the only reason for the rise of aggressors was the failure of the league of na tions canada s unwillingness to cooperate was a rea son for the failure of the league of nations the printed word hes counting on you- when he s wet and bomwick and cold think how it will help him to know that the people at home are still back of him with every fight mg dollar they can spare remember the more we do for our fighting men mow die sooner they will return and the more of them will come home safely lend willingly
