Grant Interesting to older " Residents ' THE CLASS OF 1890 E Toronto, Dec. 23rd, 1980. or Sam, I am sending you a copy of what I have mailed to each member of the 1890 class at Port Perry. There were two Model Schools-- Whitby and Port Perry, the latter generally getting all the Uxbridge pupils. The term was for three months and have the right to teach for three years when a renewal was necessary, but not always insisted on. Only one of this class made teach- ing a life work--A Douglas, and an- other is now teaching in Calgary-- Etta Irwin. It is interesting that among the schools held by this class in 1891, of interest to local readers, were Prince Bl Seugog Centre (J. A. Miller), Manilla Union School, Seagrave, Wick, Marsh Hill, Victoria Corners, Caesarea, Cadmus, Purple Hill, Shirley and several Scott and Ux- bridge Township schools. The salaries of 1891 were from $225 to $400 per annum. Rev. J. 'A. Miller. Following is a copy of letter sent out by Mr. Miller, "Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And days of auld lang syne?" Surely it is not possible that forty years have come and gone since the Perry Model School. three, (the term Of the twenty- "skiddoo" Fadyen, and Wes.

Can we hear the kindly, impressive whisper of Pa Rae as he said, "How many see? All see? Did ever a class have more delightful gatherings, either in private or when we gave concerts round about? What wonder- ful attention the sixteen gallants gave to the seven demure maidens? Many a romance was well begun but only one "dared to be a Daniel" and he won out. Now before 1930 bids farewell, let us each send eighteen letters of greet- ing and information, so that added Joy may be given to all of us by re- newing "auld acquaintance."

Added to this also is the large increase in the use of private motor cars and trucks. That many of the complaints made to the Board against the reduction in train service were based on the handling of school children. The Board has found that the yield from these com- mutation fares is low, in many cases the Railway Company re- ceiving as low as 5¢ per ride. The operation of school buses is prevalent and the Board feels that the Railway Company should not be asked to continue this service, on the railway's lines con- cerned, for the use of the school children in the face of its con- stantly decreasing passenger earnings. That following the hearing and since the receipt of the state- ments from the Railway Company, the Board has been conferring with the Company as to the best means of meeting the situation, and it has been decided to authorize the reduction in train service on this line to a tri-weekly mixed train in each direction, to be run at such hours in the day as will be most convenient for the various needs, the new train service to be put into effect on Jan. 11th, 1931. I am directed to state further that the Board has been in com- munication with the Railway Company with regard to the effect of this reduced train service on the mail delivery on this line; and that the Board is advised that the Railway Company has taken the matter up with the Post Office Department with a view to that Department providing a highway service for the handling of the mail instead of the present train service; it is added that the Post Office Department hope thus to make a substantial reduction in their present operating costs in this connection.

Some community paper representing the people in life, business and thought, it reflects the same each week. It is a resolves are made and fulfilled, others in the mad rush are either forgotten, or crowded out by other things. That is what happened a year ago to one of mine by not acting promptly. And so I move this year to take action on this resolve at once. A year ago you published a special Christmas number of the Port Perry Star, which was a credit to you, your staff, und incidentally the community in which it circulates. This year you have again presented a special Christ- mas edition, and demonstrated your ability to make it beautiful and at- tractive, also to give a very able pre- sentation of the Christmas message, and the spirit of Christmas. Such an effort on your part shows enterprise 'land your paper becomes a source of inspiration, and an incentive towards higher ideals. For some years I have followed its reading matter, and h always admired the high moral tone of your editorials or writings, In polities your paper has developed in later years a very wholesome change, less partisan and open to both political parties, and while differing from you in political thought and out- look on many things, I feel that you have done a big thing for yourself and the community in making your paper non-political, reserving of course to yourself, your own individ- ual right as a Canadian citizen. pleasant means by which their friends in distant parts can keep in touch with the doings in the home town and district--In a measure we can call it "Our Paper"---The Port Perry Star." And, sir, I wish to offer you my ap- preciation (whinh I feel sure will be echoed by others) that you are mak- ing it possible for the community of Port Perry and district, to have such an able, clean, und up-to-date repre- sentative among the rural newspapers of Canada. And no man can estimate the value of such publicity as you have freely given from time to time in the interest of this community, and doing your share in helping through this medium, to make Port Perry the pleasant and delightful town it is to reside in (despite the pessimists) and which does not take second place to any other town of its size with which I am acquainted. 1 am convinced your objective is not altogether of a selfish motive, but that your desire is to give the great- est margin of seyvice you can possibly give to the town you love, and wherein you find that wonderful place called "Home." May the year 1931 bring to you and "The Star" a greater endor- sation of the goodwill that you have N toward its readers, and a spirit of the. optimist to always be looking for the dawning of a better and brighter day. Therefore your paper becomes a Yours truly, Citizen.
