A number of Durham Old Boys -came down f rom Toronto on Satur- day to erect a tablet to the memory of the late Sarah Esther Moorcraf t, who for forty years had taught in Bowmanville publie school. The idea of doing something to comn- memorate the lif e work of this f aith- fui teacher was first suggested by Mr. Chas. R. McCullough of Hamil- ton and was submnitted to the as- sociation at their annual banquet in Toronto. J. D. Keachie unveiled the tablet which bore the inscrip- tion: "In memory of Sarah Esther Mooreraft. for forty years a -faith- f ui and efficient teacher in Bow- manville. Erected by Durham Oid Boys' Association. June 1908." Aller outliving all of his compan- iQns and f ellow citizens Roland Hill Turner of Bowmanville passed quietly to rest early Friday morning. Rev. Harold Wier of Hiram College, Ohio, conducted the f uneral services on Sunday and palîbearers were John Foster, John B. Mitchell, John Perey, and John H. H. Jury. He was a cabinet maker by irade but operated a store here for manY years. Mr. A. E. Manning, an old Tyrone boy, who has taught successfully for some years in Hamilton, has been appointed Principal of Sophia Street School in the Axbitious City. FIffY YEARS AGO From The Statesmian, Juiy 6th, 1883 The yacht Ida May was capsized about three miles out f rom New- castle Harbor on Monday by a sud- den squall and three of our citizens, Messrs. Leith, Reffell and Dempster, had an experience they have no de- sire to have repeated. We learn that had il not been for Mr. Leith being an excellent swimmer the whole Party would have been drowned. He managed bo keep them affoat until they were rescued. They were in the water nearly three hours. We have to thank Mrs. John Keachie (nee Miss Maggie Todd) s0 well and favorably known in town. for lier amiability for a portion of her wedding cake. In the published return of con- victions before the Magistrates we find only 13 cases f rom this town while Port Hope is down for 50. This speaks well for the morality of Bow- manville. Mr. W. W. Tamblyn. M.A., is first vice president of the new spelling reformn association. recently organiz- ed in Toronto. Mr. H. W. Burk assu.ned his of - ficiai duties as sheriff on the 26th uIt. The Statesman wishes Sheriff Burk success in is honorable posi- tion. At the entrance examinations here last week 33 candidates wrote, 20 of whom were f rom country schools. The Pire Brigade serenaded Rev. W. Ayers on the eve of is departure for Oshawa. Reports reach us of a tremendous rainstormn at Solîna, Hampton, and thereabouts on Wednesday. At Sol- ina the bridges were swept away on either side of the village. Stephen Washington says he neyer saw water so high during the spring freshet as it was on Wednesday. Damage to crops is inestimable. On Friday the lower divisions of the Union School picnicked in the drill shed grounds. A very good pro- gramn was put on by the students and Mr. Fairbairn presided. On Saturday the higher divisions heid 1their picnic. We understand Mrs. 1Fraser and Miss Hamilton had tend- .ered their resignations. so that two rnew teachers will be wanted. Another old settier passed away on Tuesday ai the age of 72 in the iperson of Alexander Beith. laie of the township of Clarke. His funeral -took place on Saturday and was the 1largest that has taken place in town ifor a long time. The members of Wellington Lodge S. O. E. turned out in a body on sSunday morning and marched to the eB. C. Ch-urch where the Worthy ,Grand Vice Chaplain, Rev. Bro. H. J. eNott. preached an excellent sermon tappropriate for the occasion. e Civilisation is built on profits, and rbusiness, as a maiter of righi, is en- rtitled to a profit if it serves. The .greater the public service, the great- er should be tbe profits.

Statesman Reader's Muskoka Holiday Alpha Pinch Returns With Story of Fishing Trip in North Ontario We welcome back to our columns this week Alpha Punch of Oshawa for many years a citizen of Bow- manville, whom our readers wiil re- member was the author of a nuxn- ber of racy articles a f ew years ago on his trip to Mexico. Mr. Pinch stages a comeback to journalistic en- deavour wth a "fish story." or per- baps we had better say, the story of a f ishing trip. As Bill Hay says in introducmng Amnos and Andy over the radio, "Here they are." Recently I received f rom my sons, Willic and Warren, un Cleveland, Ohio, a letter stating they were go- ing on a vacation and that I was to be their guest in the North Country around Muskoka. Aller I recovered f rom the shock 1 thoughi of the oid saying, "some- thing nice is going to happen. we al get our turn some day," so I immed- iately began 10 step lightiy and car- ry my head haughtily and look with puty on those not so favorcd. I am home again and have oniy the memory of the trip which seems like a happy dream, too fine, too sweet, too brief and ficcting to be rcmembered clearly and afterwards described. There s in al of us the desire, when we have been thrilled with the f lame of the sunrise, or the riot of color in the sunset, or by the mountain's haze or canyon's misi, to, tell it to others, but the difficulty la to find appropriate and adequate words to fittingly express such sub- lime beauties. 0f course our chief interesi was fishing. Fried flsh was on the bill of fare twice cach day. -There are bundreds of miles of strcams and lakes where speckled trout lurk in the pqols awaiting capture. Gamey pcrch and fighting bass strike ai your bait as if It were an enemy to be destroyed. We were amused t00 witb a fiock of ducks that came In- dian file down the road looking for the leftovers and preparing them- selves for the menu during the deer hunting season. Venison and roasi duck, yum yum! Ai night a whippoorwill parked in a iree close by helped to lull some into slumber and keep others awake. its caîl was lnterspersed wiih the hoot of the owl. the f orlorn calof the boon, and for the chorus, the hum of a million mosquitoes who de- spite sceens and flytox invaded our sleeping quarters in hoards. But on the whole t was great sport. In the morning the water being warmer ihan the air, ihere was of- ten quite a fog of vapor rising over thc lake and silver and gold lined clouds. the refieciion of trees and rocks in the crystal water was an indescribabie beauty. Our fuel was green wood and in trne we mastered the energy nec- cssary to make a fire from I. Some campers losi their fishing tackle in vanlous ways, but fisher- men ahl belong to the clan and real f riendshlp lasbown as one helPS the other wih tacklc. The wcaiher was ideal and we only worc coats as a maiter of couricsy. Perhaps our keenesi enJoyment was dcived f rom getting dinner ready. We spent our evenings on the f ront. porcb counting the stars and fire- files and ielllng flsh storles. I will neyer forget the experlence of one afier-dinner restiIn theb amn- mock - the sighing of the genile breezes ihrough the pines, the wbls- pering of the leaves as iheY swaYed forward and backward, the deligbt- f ul odor of cedar and balsam. and the ripple of the water as it danced over the rocks In the nearby stream. Now away f rom those scenes I long for the wblspenlng wlnds and the angler's feeds. I look back on that vacation and I sec scores of tourisis, some on weekend trips, others there for weeks ai a time. h sec Muskoka with al is charm of outdoor life, and I im- agine I can scent again the sweet fragrance of the maJestic pine, the indescribable perfume of sage moss and wild ffowers. I sec again ihat handiwork of nature as the dew- draps, hanglng by the million on blades of grass, leaf and twlg, glis- ton like fasclnaýting dciamonds in the _____________________________________________M a nd neighbors.
