It is the same with the now famous Sturgeon Lake gold area, lying on the Canadian National Rail- ways line between Long Lac and Port When an inquisitive geolo- gist took a notion to examine the rock fills on the roadbed, he found that the quartz used contained gold assaying at from $4 to $7 per ton. Of course, the fill was built many years before such a development as a "gold camp' was even remotely contemplated; but .one cannot help conjecturing what might | have happened had there been a geologist, or an experienced prospect- "or, identified with the construction gang. It might have been possible that a new gold camp would have Arthur, sprung into existence over night. 'Mr. Anson Swanick spent Sunday afterneon' with Fred Merrick. Mr. Frank Burns spent Sunday with Mr. Geo. Merrick: A few from around here attended the dance at the home of Mr, George Kydd, on.

PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY The opening in Oshawa of the House of Friendship, to take care of tran- sients wandering along the highways by providing them with material and spiritual comforts, is a fine examplifi- cation of the spirit of 'the Good Sa- maritan.' : : . The citizéns who have sponsored this i practical 'plan of Christian gervice| have done so from a deep sense of the responsibility which rests on them to take care of their fellow-beings who are in n¢ed. They have strongly re- sisted efforts to' give their work pub- licity, have sought no praise or com- mendation, but on the contrary, have 'done their utmost to do 'their work in a quiet, modest way. Nevertheless, we feel that a work of this kind is so, fine an example of practical Christ- ianity that it ought to be held up as a model of what can be done when the right spirit is present. The House of Friendship will be a haven of refuge for hundreds of home- less and hopeless men. The meals they will - receive, the sleeping accomoda- tion provided for them, are not the important things, The important thing is that in its atmosphere they will be who cares for them, wants to help them along life's rocky road. And that is worth more to these men than any material things which can be done for their welfare and comfort. re NOTICE TO CREDITORS In the Estate of Margaret MeMillan, XI Decea sed. ¢ : All persons having claims against the Estate of Margaret McMillan 2 in the Oshawa Dally Times » the Village of Sunderla Township of Brock, dec 'who diedge © ° at the Town of Whitby on the 2nd day'® = of November, 1934, are hereby noti- fied -to send in to the undersigned solicitors on or before the 24th day of February, 1985, full particulars of their claims.
