Carman was the youngest son of the late Richard and Bertha Wright • and last surviving member of their family, which included included Reverend George, Ernest, Ernest, Wilbur and sister Luel- la, all predeceased. He leaves a wife Joan of Niagara Niagara Falls, a son Rick, Sharon, Lynne and Robert and four grandchildren. We recall Carman as a jovial, rotund individual whose number one priority was not a strong desire to acquire an education. education. We also remember that he had the best bob-sled of all the children complete with a steering wheel that would go faster and further than any others down Yelverton Yelverton lull. Needless to say this mad Carman a very popular fellow - particularly in winter time. Sympathy is extended to all those who mourn his passing. Our gratitude to his sister-in-law Ada Wright of Lindsay for passing along the sad news. The Wright family lived just east of Yelverton at the foot of Yelverton Hill for many years and were very active in our Church and community community activities in earlier days. If you think you're seeing things or have suddenly been transferred to a former era, cool your jets ifyou happen happen to see a 1938 Plymouth coming down the road in its original condition. It's the real thing. Howard and Eileen Eileen Malcolm now have their vintage automobile "on the road again" and looking real good. It was our pleasure on Friday afternoon to represent represent Manvers Township Council at the Bethany Hills Girls Schools annual closing Commencement. (The school is located North of Bethany.) Must admit that as the sun beamed down full strength during the academic awards as I sat and squirmed and perspired, I kept asking myself, myself, "What am I here for?" without getting any satisfactory satisfactory answers. Actually, it was a pretty good show except except I didn't know a darned soul except the Headmistress Headmistress Mrs. Janis Smith. We were surprised that many of the girl students are from a variety of foreign countries. We were pleased to see that this year a new award was added paying tribute to the late Ivan Pollard, a generous generous benefactor to the project project who passed way suddenly suddenly a month ago. Dr. Liz Ashton, Vice President of Academics at Sir Sandford Fleming College, provided a few words of worldlj in her conf marks to classes.

The weather was ideal which contributed to the increased attendance over the past two years who came in an orderly procession procession from 4:30 till 7:30 with no long waiting periods . Although Although the first course was very satisfactory, we suspect that it was the tasty array of desserts that bring back the customers year after year. As per usual, almost everyone everyone in our community dug in to make the event a success -- even the youngsters were cleaning off dirty dishes and the oldsters (that's anyone 5 years older than me) were doing the sedentary jobs.

Our Yelverton community community which is served by the Janetville Brigade extend congratulations to the volunteers volunteers not only for their new 3-bay fireball but also for the hours and days spent on the various aspects of its preparation. It is dangerous to pick out any individuals in such a large cooperative enterprise, but from reports provided, Ted Bryant deserves deserves hugh marks for his motivating influence. Of interest interest to many is the fact that the Wright family has made a vast contribution to the development of fire protection protection in the Janetville area. The late Melvin Wright was a main instigator instigator of the formation of tne first modest Fire Hall in Janetville which served for over 20 years in that capacity. capacity. The current Janetville Fire Chief, Mel's son Levem, has carried on the tradition as he recently was appoint ed Deputy Fire Chief of Manvers Township to coordinate coordinate the efforts of the Bethany and Pontypool Brigade. Brigade. A third generation continues the family tradition tradition with Lawrence Wright a member of the local brigade. brigade. In the near future Matt Meuller, Bethany Fire Chief will soon be accepting delivery delivery of a new Fire Truck for Bethany dept, to replace the current worn out vehicle. Pontypool also has an up-to- date Fire truck and also a very active volunteer fire brigade. Both Bethany and Pontypool fire stations require require future improvements to their facilities if they are going to continue to provide the same exemplary services we have become accustomed to. Unfortunately all these improvements require additional additional tax dollars -- which are pretty hard to come by 1 in the current economic times.
