Fond Memories From Page 3 the school was the nome and office of Dr. A. S. Tilley. He was our family family doctor and I remember him telling telling us a story one time about hiis boys when they were young. It was late fall and the boys were anxious to be on their skates. They proposed to go skating on Vanstone's pond. "No, b<)ys," said Dr. Tilley, "I don't want you to go down there, the ice in not safe. There has not been enough cold weather yet." "Nonsense," said the boys, "there are guys skating down there right now. We're going down." "All right," said the doctor. "You go on down to the pond. I'll go over to Morris's and order the coffins." I always think of this little story whenever I read of the marvellous things Dr. Ross Tilley (his son) did for the battered and disfigured veterans veterans of World War II. I think it is wonderful that you find the energy to stay on the job, Congratulations! Hang in there! Most sincerely, Jim Hancock, Elmvale, Ont. Ed's note: Somebody has to make the coffee.
