Peterboro County's centenarian, died yesterday following a short illness. Mr. Hart celebrated his one hun. dredth birthday last December, when he received 'the felicitations of a host of friends. Mr. Hart was born at Spring Valley. Brighton Township, of Irish and Dutch descent. As a young man he spent Ave years helping his father who was a carriage-maker, later going north, where he spent more than half a century in the lumlbering industry in Belmont. He used to tell of many grealti drives of logs that were floated down North River to his saw mill at Round Lake. Hiis friends believed Mr. Hart to be the oldest Orangeman in Ontario. He joined the Castleton L.O.L., No. 554, when he was 18 years old, and never allowed his active me<m|bership in the Order to apse. He participated in the annual walk laslt year. iMr. Hart was married more than 75 years ago. His wife, Rebekah Masters of Spring Valley, predeceased him 19 years ago. His immediate family surviving him are Mrs. Ida Copperthwaite, Campbellford; Mrs. A. J. Hubble, Prince George, B.C.; John Hart, Snrths Falls; Albert, Lasswade, and Ross, Havelock. He was a Conservative all his life and a member of tjhe Methodist Church, and later of the United Church of Canada. Freeman Hart was under arms during '■ihe Riel Rebellion, and he was a passenger on the first train in Upper Canada, the Grand Trunk Railway, travelling from Colborne to Cobourg. He had a vivid memoiry of the early days of East Peterboro, when the present site of Havelock was only a cedar swamp. -The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon from the family home at Round Lake to the United Church here, and after the service interment will take place at Maple Grove Cem- Vox Nostrae Scholae Nest year local sightseers who are not satisfied with visiting the fairs, at Roseneath and Toronto, will have an opportunity to take in the World's Fair at New York, which opens its gates to the public on April 30, 1939. The New York Times tells of the |transforma"ion that is going on in Queens County where a swamp overrun by the tide that creeps in from Flushing Bay, is being drained and a 30-year-old accumulation of ashes and rubbish, 50,000,000 cubic yards in bulk, is being removed to form the foundations of the 300 Fair Buildings that are being erected there. When the Fair is over most of these build-, ings will 'be scrapped but Flushing Meadowls Park will be a permanent improvement Meanwhile ithe miracle of creation is being reproduced on an extensive scale. Thousands of trees, many of them full-grown, are already turning an ash-dump into a park. Many of these trees are being (brought from New Hampshire and Maryland, their roots cased in great packs of earth and their branches sprayed with wax. It may seem a waste that all thi3 splendid construction should be erected only to be torn down, but it will give work to 30,000 men, entertain it is calculated 16,000.000 visitors, break all records with a total of 50,000,000 admissions and draw a billion dollars worth of 'business ':o this centre of interest in 11939. The real centre of interest will be the Perisphere. the biggest ball 6ver built 'by man. It will be U,8 stories high, twice as big as Radio City Music Hall. Beside it will stand the Trylon, a three-sided needle, 700 feet high, pointing Ito the stars. It has been irreverently suggested that this Perisphere and Trylon will typify America's national game. But among 'buildings totalling in value $60,000,000 it will be difficult to mention any structure as central. If you cannot ge to Roseneath next year or to Toronto, you should mia.ke an effort to see the World's Fair at New York. We are glad that Marion Deviney has made a complete recovery and is a<ble to take her place ait school again. It is a pleasant task to congratulate Miss Beryl Martin and Miss Mabel Peacock who graduate this week from Belleville Hospital. Congratulations to Gordon Adams, who has completed his second year at Queen's University examinations, taking his work at Albbert College. He passed in English History, French, French, Philosophy, and will write Economics in Septemlber. Best wishes for Alex Grant, who has left to continue at Dartmouth, N.S., his aeroplane training, begun at the Trenton Air Port. The H. S. Softball team played a friendly game with Brighton High School Wednesday afternoon, winning 19-11. Jack Kernaghan, pitcher, Ford Cowie, cal'idher. Buying and Selling Cattle Racket York County farmers have been fleeced of hundreds of dollars during the past few weeks by two mien with a buying and selling cattle racket. Posing as representatives of Toronto abattoirs, two men have bought stores of tuiberculosis-infected cattle from farmers in different sections of the county and sold them to other farmers in outlying areas as T. B. tested cattle. COLBORNE BASEBALL CLUB The Colborne Baseball Club wish 1 thank r.he following subscribers: Fred Spence ..........$1.50 W. F. Griffis .......... 1.00 E. W. Rowsome........ 1.00 E. J.
