Thev just fade away-and do it much more slowly than aid soldiers. This fact was brought ta light recently when we received a letter fi-rn Mrs. Roy Fer-en off Cavan Township, enclosing a Canadian Statesman, dated Feb. 3 1901 Yellow with age and a fr-lfe tattered, the print was stili _ýdable and historically the ~ws was most interesting. We wrote to Mrs. Ferren to oh- tain information which would tell us how she came into pos- session of this haîf century old copy and received a mast interest- ing rcply. "I have had the paper In my possession about ten years only," write Mrs. Ferren. "but thought when it got leave ta survive that long I'd keep At until it reached the fiffty. We rented the farm off David Hunter. west off Cavan, 14 years ago and whilc putting the sap buekets away in the attic over the xvoodshed one spring, happened to take time enough to look through an old bunch off papers and this old timer was among them. "The aid folks who lived here have been dead for several years and this being the first time the farm was rented, I guess things gat Icave to stay around longer e) THE BELL TELEPHONI * COMPANY 0F CANADA as the bouse is some 75 years aid. Several of th'e old timers around bere have bor-owed the papers ta compare prices. Sure is quite a difference. We just remarked that bay had only daubled in price and l'in sure that wages had done a great deal better than that. At lcast you will be able to sec bow mucb your paper bas improvcd in 50 ycars." The paper. with advertising an its front page. makes most in- teresting reading although for many readers some off the naines off the merchants would nat be familiar. Many off themn werc grandparents, Parents and rela- tives off present gencration citi- zens. such as undertakers Levi Morris and M. D. Williams & Son, grocers Cawker & Tait and many others. Some off the news items held special interest. One article pre- sents the opening off negotiations to buy a church building on Queen Street for an evaporator. The promoter, Mayor Graham off Belleville, wanted the town to put $5000 into the building and plant and he offfered to put in capital off $25,000 and would cm- ploy 75 ta 100 bands. We believe this was the start off the evap- orator later i-un by the late Thos. S. Holgate, ex-Mayor off Bow- manville and his father. The building is not active now, only anc corner being used for anl In another way, too, the telephone is higger value today than ever hefore.

Mr. Graham based bis reason for expansion on the fact that he bad a two-year contract with the British Arrny for so many carloads per month off cvaporated products. On another page off the paper, the big news off the day was a political fracas between candi- dates C. J. Thoraton and Robert Bcith. Apparently, the election was contested because Mi-.

Fellow work- ers, through spakesman Sid Little, foreman off the Power House and Boiler Roorn, made him a gift off $100. Apparently in celebration. Mi-. Armistead plans a trip ta England in August. Mi-. Armistead's record would indicate that the long-service Goodyear man likes the idea off numerical pi-agression. Once rnarried, Dave was twicc in the Canadian Army, foui- times with Goodyear, and bis proposed Aug- ust trip will be bis fifth visit ta England, the land off bis bii-th.
