ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, THURSDAY, JANUARVt' l8th, '-X8 Recently the Village Council of Newcastle was requested to nom- mate an, outstanding, citizen- of the community for the Canada Centennial Medal. After giving the matter consider able thought, council 'recommended Cecil R. Carveth hose unselfish service to the community and area dates back for many years. Mr. Carveth was asked by Reeve Earl Walton to jot'down some of the highlights of his car- eer and the following is a sum- mary of the information provid- ed. Mr. Carveth in 1932 was ap- pointed by. council as one of a three member board on a Relief JACK R 1C AD REALTOR 99 King St., E.

On Jan. 17, 1934, a letter of appreciation for a job well done was received by this board from H. C. Bona- than. In 1936, Mr. Carveth was elected to council and in 1937 he xvas acclaimed the Reeve, a post lie he'd until 1945. Councili- ors were Ed. Hoar, Chris Law, Harold Allun and in 1937 Earl Walton. In 1938 the Hydro system was purchased for the village at a cost of $14,000 plus $7,000 inter- est. The Commissioners were the late Geo. Jamieson, the late Ern Rinch and Mr. Carveth. The $21,- 000 was paid off in six years. Mr. Carveth recalled that in 1940 the fire department was set up for $5,500, the price including the fire hall, four underground tanks and the engine, plus 1,200 feet of hose. Counillors at 'the time were Earl Walton, Chris Law, Fred Couch Sr., and George Wright. Many citizens were an- noyed by the purchase but when the insurance rates were lowered 50 cents a hundred on a three- year basis and the Glenney fire was put out, most of thcm chang- ed their minds. During his terms as Reeve, the Community Hall was quite an act- ive spot and he, along with Mrs. Percy Hare, the late 'Mrs. Olga Gibson, Chris Law and Earl Wal- ton were members of the Board of Management. Thie main inter- est was 'in the monthly dances with an average attendance of 300 persons. During that time a fire burned the stage and cur- tains. When the stage was re- bult the top was lowered five feet and the present curtains wcrc bought. The Library Board has also been one of Mr. Carveth's many. and varied interests. He has been a member from 1937 to the pres- ent and claims he bas neyer been late for a meeting. During those early years neither council, fire- men, board of management of the hall, school or lîbrary boards were paid any money for their services. The library board is the only one still in thatcaeoy He recalled that during the Second World War there were 40 froin Newcastle who went over- seas. The Newcastle. Basebal Club's name was used to send cigarettes to, them. It took about $40 a mo nth to provide funds for this purpose and this was raised by drawsj, bail gaines and gaines of chance. In addition, many box- es of food, lothing, etc., were sent to the boys. From 1945 to 1962 Mr. Carveth was Treasurer of the Newcastle Basebaîl Club. He suggests that the village owes a great debt of gratitude to Irv McCullough and Doug Walton for the mýany years they spent with the boys. Some of the other items he re- called ineluded 'the outdoor rink built in 1943, with council work- ing hard to finance it. This was a real community effort with much of the work being dotie by volunteers including Elmihurst Hotel officiais, the late Jim Smith and many others. In 1945 Mr. Carveth was eleet- ed Warden of the United Count- ies by acclamation. During the same year, council called a meet- ing of the apple growers of the area that resulted in the present cold storage building. Mr. Cary- eth has been- Secretary-Treasurer of the company since its forma- tion. In 1936 he bought a moviie camera for a hobby and spent a great deal of timn~ot only tak- ing pictures and showing them, but also showing other films at meetings over a wide area. During his term as Reeve, he was, interested in the Edost of ed- ucation and for eight years was a member of the special Schools Comnmittee. In 1947 he was also President of the County Council section of the Ontario Educational Association. On April 20th, '1950, his work on education was ac- knowledged with a Lif e Member- ship in the Ontario Educational Association. However, according to Mr. Car- veth, the highlight of his life and his wife's was the large crowd th at gathered at the Community Hall a few weeks ago to honor them on their Golden Wedding anniversary.

'Previously it was a satellite of T'oronto but feit lost in the urban sprawl. The Oshawa Chamber de- cidcd because of the success 'of our region, the city would '. better off with us," he said. Mir.

"The entrance of Oshawa has'; doubled our area geographically- and more than doubled our popu- lation," he said. "Because of this, we hope the organization will be- more efficient."
