Frontenac has an able warden in G. Mélville Drew, who puts pep into |an be does. He was born at Long {Lake in Olden township thirty-eight | years ago, the son of Henry Drew, | who was warden of Frontenac in 1907. Thus the son follows in the municipal footsteps of the father. Two years ago the father moved into Ernesttown township and at the re- cent elections he was elected a mem- of the Ernesttown council. War- d Drew did prospecting work in the -Abitibi district of northern On- there. That was eighteen years ago. He was married eleven years ago and has two children. Warden Drew is a progressive farmer of the north and owns the farm his .father used to work. Eleven .years ago he en- tered municipal life as well as matri- mony, and became a medber of the Olden council. He has been a mem- ber of the council ever since and this is his third year as reeve of Olden and member of the Frontenac county council. Warden Drew is a Methodist in religion, a Conservative in politics, and a member of the Ma- sonic Order, the Oddfellows, the Orangemen and Prentice Boys. Since his entry to the county council he has been regarded as ome of that body's best debaters and should make a good presiding officer. War- den Drew was the first member of any county council in Ontario to issue a defl to the Ontario Highways Department over the provincial road charges. His motion moved in coun cil last June to refuse payment of the charge against Frontenac was car- ried. He fought against provincial road charges being made against the northern townships of Frontenac, owing to the provincial highway running through the most southerly part of the county, and the Ontario Rail and Municipal Board re- lieved those townships of Hability. The new warden has had military training. For three years he was sergeant with "A" equadron of the 4th Hussars. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon A, Chitten- den, Belleville, mourn the death of their second daughter, Grace, who passed away on Saturday, aged six years. An infection of the ear was the cause of death. | TWICE TOLD TALES News of Kingston TEN YEARS AGO. ' Frontenacs defeated Argonauts in a senior O.H.A, game here, § to 2.
