TUE BELL TELEPEONE CO.'MPAN'%Y 0F CANADA THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, 1BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO PAGE NMlq PUNTYPOOL Last week we reported th~ death o! William Webb. Thi week we regretfully report tih death of Mrs. Florence Williami son. Oddly enaugh, Mrs. Williamf son lived in the same bouse a Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Webb, by reni ing two roams from them. Mrs. Williamson was born ii the British Isles a! Welsb parents She had one daughter by ber firs marriage. This daughter late, met and married James Willis a Godalming, England. When Mr and Mrs. Willis and daughter Gwen, sailed for Canada in 1919 Mrs. Williamsan said "au revoir' ta her second husband and sailec with them. For variaus reason! she postponed returning ta Eng. land. But, when, in 1923, she re. cied wod of ber husband'.ý death, she decided ta remain ir Canada. This Welsh lady hadE string character, and ta herz thing was eithem right or wrong no halfway. She was industriaus independent and generous toa fault. Hem main interest in life since 1919 has been her daugh- ter, grandchildren and eighteen great-gmandchildren. Hem daugh- ter predeceased hem a few years aga. Thieves brake into the C.P.R. station over the weekend and staît thmee dollars from the till. Luck. ily, Carl Leggitt had been cautiaus enough ta remove one hundmed and twenty dollars before he le! t the station. Mrs. Richard Kirk bas been un- der the doctom's came. Some years ago, a chap who ran the elevator here was namned G. B. Henry. Before coming heme be had managed a genemal merchan- dising store at Thomnton, Ontario and on Jan. 14, the Glob6 and M4ail carried a story of attempted rabbery at this same Thamntan stome, showing a picture o! the robbed safe, which bore the name "G. B. Henry." The present xZan- agem is William Fmy. Fram 1910 ao 1912 we had many good argu- nents around the old wood bumn- er in this same store. G. B. Henry ran the business then. Ail the spare labar amaund bere .as been -gobbled up by tbe Hy- .ro ta buiid their new line, and the C.P.R. ta shovel their snaw. We see wheme Capt.

Cosi of Living Corne foVirginia For Garden Week Says Joe Osborne In a letter ta the editor o! The Statesman, dated Jan. 10, 1948, J. A. Osborne, 87-year-old editor of The Virginia Gazette, writes in his own hand in Spencerian script, an invitation ta came ta Williamsburg and Virginia and bring along a p4rty of friends for the April observance a! "Garden Week" sponsored annually by the state. Gaad roads radiate in all directions and even the secondary roads are paved and flower gar- dens will be in full bloom. Mr. Osborne was born in Ty- rone and owns and edits the aId- est paper in America in the first city established in colonial days. His weekly paper was founded in 1736 and under his direction it bas. attained the height o! its suc- cess. Its 20 pages links the old with the new for he always re- publishes extracts from ealy is- sues. Williamsburg is being complete- ly modernized. Its planning com- mission and city manager have a program ta spend over tbree mil- lion dollars for tourist accommo- dation in the next twa .years. Building permits in 1947 amqunt- cd to two millions and this year calis for four million more. A recent grant o! 200 acres ta the William and Mary College en- tails an expenditure o! 10 mil- lions for expansion ta accomma- date over 5,000 students, so the aid town is humming with activity. Mr. Osborne who is hale and hearty is now writing a bistory of the Gazette dating back for 212 ycars which is some undertaking for a man an the verge of 90. We shall do aur best ta make the trip this year. Scanning the advertisements in the current issue of the Gazette we note the following faad prices: Canned peas, 3 for 25c; apple but- ter, 14 oz. 15c; ivory saap, 12c; sirloin steak, 79c; veal raast, 47c; park chaps, 57; bacon, 69c; smak- eci picilics, 49c; margarine, 37c; potatoes, 5 lbs, 19c; lard, 31c; business men's lunch, 65c. aetefgrs:a Jast minute INVITATION wilh a crisp SPGTLESS SUIT!ý Lef Oshawa Laundry keep you poised on the springboard of the fail social season with an experfly cleaned and pressed suit, coat or dress.

It is' al- leged that food prices today are higher than ever before in the history a! the country. the fig- ures below appear to bear out that contention.4 The prices showxi for the years 1921 and 1941 were taken fmom advertisements In The Statesman while thase o! 1948 were secured from buying various items at loc- al stores the week o! Jan. 5. Same of the figures are, o! course, lead.- er sale prices but on the average they refleet general prices o! the years sbown. The year 1921 marked the close o! the gavernment headed by Prime Minister Arthur Meighen wba led the Conservatives fol- lawing the Union Govemnment.
