C. in Millbrook Reporter.) Milbrook-The announcement by the government at Ottawa that John Wellington Pickup had been appointed Chief Justice of Ontario bas been received witb general approval by the legal pro- fession hut in na section of the province bas it been received witb more deiight and pride than in Isl native village of Millbrook. The Chief Justiceship is of .ourse the higbest honor, and car- ries with it the greatest responsi- bility a member of the legal pro- fession can attain in the province; an office attained only by anc Who is outstanding in the profes- sion and who is recognized for his *probity and sound citizenship. * Remember Family There are still many people in Millbrook and Cavan who re- mnember the Pickup famiiy when they were residents of the village and the active part tbey played in its social, cburcb and commun- ity life in general. John Welling- ton Pickup, the new Chie! Jus- tice, is a so- of the late William Scott Pickup and bis wife Agnes Eliza Barkweil who came into Milibrook from the township of Hope in the late 8)s Mr. Pick- up having purcbased the old es- tablisbed Cosgrove hardware business whicb he operated for some years. He was an energetic public spirited citizen taking an interest in municipal affairs and served for a time as reeve of the village. There were five boys and two girls in the Pickup family and they were the envy of tbeir con- temporaries for their brilliant academic records at the local schools. It just seemed as though the Pickup boys and girls could "'FILL "En UP!,,l FilUp your home with ail year 'round comfort . . . INSULATE NOW.

The two oldest boys Stanley and Harry, became min isters in the Presbyterian churcl before the union, Stanley havin, passed away in Toronto oni; within the past year. He wasi very fine athlete and was rathei an outstanding player on tJie vil. lage hockey and lacross teams 1: the late 90's. Graduated ln Medicine Clarence graduated in medicini and is a resident of western Can- ada as is also Samuel who grad- uated in pharmacy. In so far a: the professions are -concerned, therefore, this is a bighly credit- able record for f ive boys in a vil- lage family. At the time the Pick- up boys acquired their respective professions there were flot the op- portunities available for young men to finance their way througi colleges or the law schools as there are today. The government in those days did not provide, in partial recognition of their mili- tary service, free tuition for boys who desired ta go through the higher institutions of learning; there were not the opportunities to pay their way through colleges or law schools as there have been in recent times, by lucrative em- ployment during their vacation periods and there were not as many scholarsbips available to students who topped their classes during the various college terms. Boys in those days, excepting those whose fathers were recog- nized as being financially afflu- ent, had to achieve their educa- tional objective in the hard way. And it was in this way the Pick- up boys reacbed their ambition ta contribute something wortli whiie to the welfare and culture of Canada. Entered Ruddy Office John Wellington was one of the younger members of the fam- ily and after passing tbrough the local scbools he entered on the study of law in the office of Rob- ert Ruddy who practiced in the village for many years before moving to Peterborough. Welling- ton, as the new Chief Justice was called by the people of the com- munity, went on to Osgoode Hall law scbool wbere he had an out- standing record, which wvas no surprise to local people who knew the Pickup family, and upon grad- uation and being called to the bar he entered the legal firm of which Chief Justice Robertson just recently retired, was the sen- ior member. His record in the practice of his profession has also been outstanding he having been senior counsel in many prominent legal actions in the higher courts as well as senior counsel for both the dominion and provincial gov- ernments before commissions in- vestigating matters of public in- terest. He has been a bencher of the Law Society of the province for a number of years. Wife Milibrnok Girl The new Chief Justice's wife, as many local people know, was a Mililbrook girl, Kathleen Fitzger-. ald, descended through both her father and mother from two o CJavan's oldest familles, amongsft the original settlers of the town- ship. John Wellington Pickup will carry ability and dignity to the high office to whicb he has been appointed. He foliows a line of distinguisbed jurists who down through the years have adorned the Chief Justiceship of the pro- v'ince a few of wbom have been Chief Justice Armour, Sir John Beverly Robinson, Sir William M'eredith and Sir William Mu- lock. In fact it is worth noting that this is the second Chief Jus- tice of the province who was born and spent hîs early life in this community. The late Chief Jus- tice Armour was the son of the Fev. Samuel Armour, the first rector of the parish of Cavan. The people of Milibrook and Cavan will join in extending con- gratulations to Chief Justice John Wellington Pickup and wisb for him many years of service in his high office.

These costs have increased pro- gressiveiy during the past five years and have now reached a total of $226,033,000, with the biggest jump of ail in 1951, $35, 680,000, just about double that of the previaus year. Since 1939 costs under the direct control of the municipal counicils have risen by slightly more than 100 per cent. Until 1948 the cost of munici- pal government rose much slow- er than did general living costs as reflected in the cost of living index, but in the past tbree years it bas been much greater. In 1949, 1950 and 1951 the general cost of living rose yearly by 5.8, 5.7 and 24.6 per cent.. whereas the total municipal tax levies rose by 18.2, 16.4 and 33.4 per cent. Municipalities have been re- lîeved of a portion of their tax burden by provincial subsidies, whicb have been increased from $18,283,000 in 1943 ta $110,733,000 in 1952. Ontario's population increased by 122,964 in 1951, while the tax- able assessment of the 964 munici- palities was raised by $210,723,000, W . IMore Immnigrants Would Resuit In More lobs Ail Round The Trades and Labor Council, meeting recently in Winnipeg, la- vored restriction on immigration ta Canada, doubtless prompted by a desire ta maintain a tigbt labor market. Restriction of immigration wouid in the long run harm the interests of labor, for a greater population would mean a greater demand for manufactured goods and the services of tradesmen, hence more work. The Letter-Review. Fort Erie, commenting on the f act thatj present restrictions will reduce the number of immigrants fromn last year's 200,000 ta about 150. 000 says. If this reduction, 50,060 a year, becomes Permanent, Canada will reach 1975 with 1,400,000 fewer immigrants, and children of im- migrants, than she might have had. She wiil have iost a dames- tic market for 340,000 homes, 248,. 000 washing machines, 160,000 re- frigerators and 145,000 cars. .Whole argument can be sum- mcd up in three words, people make jobs. The fewer people there are in Canada, the fewer jobs there will be for Canadian workers, and the fewer members there will be for Canadian un. ions. i a Oldsmobile Cars lei us gv yon a fresit star!

Mr. Nokes sustained severe head injuries in an automobile accident on No. 2A Highway fearly Saturday morning west of Oshawa. He passed away at To- ronto General Hospital the same day.

He was a member of Jerusa- lem Lodge, A.F. & A.M., No. 31, the Odd Fellows Lodge, and was a very worthy member of the Community Council executive. Many Bowmanville residents will recall the pleasant manner in which the late Mr. Nokes con- ducted himself through everyday life; ail wilI recaîl his avid in- terest in music, particularly when thinking of Armistice Day.

He left to join the R.C.A.F. in September, 1943, but returned to the local company on his dis- charge in December, .1944.
