Then yeu have personal friends whom you may consuit. One of the differ- ences between critics and friends is that critics get free seats and friends don't. A critic has almost to speak favorably of shows, in a general way, else he knocks an industry that gives him work. Some critics use a terminology that is like Greek te other people. There are times when we do flot know what At means.

Beautiful Tributs To Dr. H. H. Tyler Who Lived ln Bowmanville As A Youth - Married a Local Girl - Praetised Dentitsry at Can- ton. N. Y.. 45 Years (From Canton, N. Y. Plaindealer) Tuesday, December 6th, fiends of Dr. H. H. Tyler, and they are very many, gathered at his late home on Court street te pay their last tribute te bis memory. Fol- lewing an illness of ever three years deatb mercifuiîy relieved him of further suffering Sunday merning, taking fromn this cein- munity one of ifs finest citizens and best liked men. The servicel was conducted by Rev. John A. Erickson and interment was in Fairview Cemetery. If was in 1937 titat Dr. Tyler's beaith becamne impaired te a point where it was necessary that hie re- tire from a long and exceptionally able practice of dental surgery in this village, mnch te the regret of a host of friends and admirers, fer as a dentist Dr. Tyler had few equals in this section and as a fri- end and companien there was none better. Many people had understood that he was a Canadian by birth, but this was net the case; ner was bis family name that of Tyler, but Herbert Hawkswerth. Into bis eariy life entered two important events and two beloved uncles. He was bern of Jeshua and Betsy A. Tyler Hawkswerth. at Ann Ar- ber, Michigan, on March 3, 1869. Then, when three years of age, bis mother died and tragic though her passing might have been in one se young in life it was destined te monld bis future. His uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. William Tyler foek hlm into their home at Bow- manville, Ontario, and adopted hlm as their son. Thus Herbert Hawksworth became H e rbe r t Hawkswerth Tyler. It was in their home he spent bis yeutb, and if was there he was fathered and mothered. Living in Bowmanville was ani- other uncle, Dr. Charles Harden, wbo was a dentist. In bis office young Herbert Tyler became in-i terested in dentistry and at an' early age had learned the art.of1 filling teeth under bis uncle's in-1c struction and guidance. So befome 1 he entered the Cellege of Dental1 Surgery at Chicago, in w 1ti now a departmenf of Nor=bwes- ern University, he had actually passed an apprenticeship in the profession. In 1892, the year be graduated from the Dental Col- lege, he married Miss Emma Ai- exander, a gîrlheed companion in Bowmanville, and they came acmess the border te Canton where he entered practice. Fer a time he was in the office of the late Dr. Fred Hosley, and then strnck eut for hîmself. Dr. Tyler's preficiency in bis calling became weil known. He net only enjeyed an excellent practice fmem ameng the people of this community but there weme vemy many who learned of bis abilify and made a point of spend- ing their summers here, or visif- ing here, that lie might attend te their dental needs. People liked the Docter. He adiated cheerfulness and sym- pathy. In bis office he went about bis work bumming and whistiing. There was always a laugh or a witticism or a geod story te be heard. With bis lips he could sim- ulate the thrili of a cornet and many a youngster whe fearfully seated himself in the patient's chair speedily forgot bis fears as7 he wendered at the marvelous( tunes whicb came relicking frem I the Docter's lips. ý Ne man ever leved living more6 than Dr. Tyler. His chuckle andS humer were contagieus and bis5 companionsbip was seugbt. For many years he was a constant at- tendant and member of The Club. He was a member of the Elks. But of his înterests in the art of living happily, probably bis love for the forest and field stood first. As a member ef the Stillwater Club be fished and bunted and made the heurs in camp pass quickly for ail present. It was eften said of hlm, that tbough he was ne woodsman because of bis abiîity te qnickly lose bis sense of direction in the woods, he invari- ably caught the mest trout and was oeeof the fimst te bring down a buck in the fail. In fishing an hunting be seemned te carry a rab* 11 bit's foet in bis pocket. When other hunters spent heurs scour- ing the woods in hunt of game witheut success the Doctor would saunter out back of the camp a few rods and bis gun wenld bark. Deer seemed te corne bis way as thougb drawn by a magnet. He. had semved as Vice-President oj the Stiliwater Club a numbe r < years. -" At Oak Point be had owned a St. Lawrence River cottage wbere fer many years he and bis familu- sojonrned. If was there in recent S'ears be bad spent much time, and bad river fisbing and the ont- deer life at bis beck and call. By these many fine and happy- qualities the people of Canton wilI long remember and recail Hem. bert Hawkswortb T y 1 e r. His faithful pursuit of the profession te which he gave bis life will a]- ways stand as an example to those wbo feliow him. Sumviving hlm are bis widow, Mms.
