CRT SR AT re 2 UNITED CHURCH CEMETERY MMITTEE MAKE GOOD " _ PROGRESS Oa the 19th of October last the annual Fall meeting was held of the United Church Cemeteries at Utica, in the basement of the Utica United Church, This Committee has forged, ahead under the able leadership and direc- tion of<Mr. W.;F. Thompson;of Man- chester, who has been its chairman since its inception in 1928, This committee which was formed +in 1928 had practically nothing in its Treasury at that time and" when an objective was set at $3000, of course _the wiseacres had to laugh and said it was'not in the realms of possibility and" predicted that $1000 would be too much and it would eventually fall through as many other schemes of a like nature. But the committee has just learned that Mrs. Andrew Page, of Uxbridge, the Treasurer, has just purchased another Victory Bond for $600, and that the amount on hand now stands, not at the impossible amount of $1000 as the prophets pre- dicted, nor at $3000 as was the ob- jective in 1928, but $3600 in Victory Bonds. This, of course, has occasioned great satisfaction to the Committee. 'Utica Cemetery Committee are a group of upright -men, of sterling character, not wealthy by any means, | but who of their means and unstinting industry, have brought the Cemetery grounds to their present state of per- fection. The names of the Cemetery. Com- mittee are as follows: W. F.| Thomp- son, of Manchester, Chairman; L. E. Skerratt and Enoch Kendall, repre- senting Utica; Wesley Ackney, repre- senting Epsom; and George Ward and Thomas Gibson, who represent Bethesda. - Of this group Mr. Enoch Kendall is entitled to a great amount of credit. | He is chairman of the grounds com- mittee and he has made the cemetefies the hobby of his life. The Committee ay Jo a few years ago ey were ashamed to pass the spot that they called the Utica Cemeteries where many of the pioneers_of the district were laid to rest, so grown up with weeds and thorns and locust trees. The mourners as they brought their beloved departed ones often had great difficulty finding their plots amid all the rubbish; but today these ceme-| teries are uppermost in people's minds when they speak of burying places, and instead of rushing by these grounds as formerly, now reverently touch their hats in memory of the sacred dead, glad in their hearts that they now have decent places in which to rest. Glad also to know that there were men in the community public spirited enough to attempt to honor those who now sleep in death. The reason for the success of the movement has been occasioned by the following facts: The leader is' a man of sterling character and highly regarded in the community in every sense of the term. The committee was most fortunate in|- _ 'securing Mr. Thompson as their chairman. Then as regards their finances, this matter was a public under taking and a public trust and every dollar re- ceived has been accounted for and every amount paid out. Then there is perfect harmony ex- isting between the members of the committee, each and all of whom would be willing to go through fire and water for their leader whom they hold in deepest respect. The whole scheme is a wonder in that during the short time they have been in operation the committee have been able to accomplish so much and not have any debts and to have just a large amount of money on hand. Rl --------.. COUNTY ROAD WORK It is encouraging to note that the County Council of Ontario is likely to undertake some road work as a means of giving work to the unemployed of the county. By taking advantage of the government's offer to provide two- thirds of the cost of labor for such : work, it should be possible to provide a substantial amount of employment in this way. The county, too, is not| - faced with a financial problem such as is facing Oshawa and the township of ~~ East Whitby, and it might very well "be able to finance a considerable amount of work, Let us hope that it this work is definitely 'undertaken, the workless men of East Whitby Town- ship will be given the opportunity of sharing in it, because they, of all the| Joople of the county, are suffering to the greatest extant from unemploy- 1 | _ County, as soon as judging within Mrs. T.
