JAMES MEDD ., Mrs. James Medd, whose maiden name was _ Alice Elizabeth Crosier, was the daughter oi Mr. and Mus. Thomas Crosier. She was born on the '|homestead farm west of Utica, and lived all her life in Reach Township until she moved to Port Perry twenty- two years ago. As a young girl the deceased at- tended school; and as she grew to} womanhood, she joined the Methodist Church, and sang in the choir for some years. Later she joined the church in Port Perry. In 1884 she was married to James Medd. Three children blessed their union: John, of Reach Township; Nora, (Mrs. Ewart Blight), of Beth- esda; and Myrtle (Mrs. Earl Tum- monds), of Raglan: In February 1913, Mr. and Mrs, Medd moved to Port Perry, after hav. ing farmed for thirty years on the Medd homestead near Utica. Here they lived quietly for some twelve years until about ten years ago Mrs. Medd was stricken with an incurable nervous disease, which ended in her death on July 10th, 1936. She was a great sufferer and became quite help- less. Her husband during these ten years of suffering devoted himself to giving such comfort as was possible to his wife; and, in spite of personal (illness, attended to her wants through the years. Intérment was made in the Kendall Cemetery at Utica, the service being conducted by Rev. W. J. H. Smyth. Deceased is survived by her hus- band, the three children already men- tioned, five grandchildren, and -two One brother, Mr. Wilson Crosier of Manchester; and two sisters--Mrs, Geo, Hart of Uxbridge and Mrs. Gee. Prentice of Port Perry, also survive her. fo ---------------- PORT PERRY SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC HELD AT STEPHENSON'S POINT.

BENTLEY PORT PERRY, ONT. - PHONE 33 Shall We Lose Our 'Waterfront? For a number of years a few citi- zens have put up a fight for a water- front in keeping with the rest of our pretty. village. For the most part they receive little support from their tellow citizens but in spite of this apathy and lack of pride in their} nome town, considerable progress has been made and today our waterfront is -alive on Sundays and holidays with visitors, many from a consider- able distance who seem to admire and cinjoy the lake, the view and the bath- ing, and express surprise that the village as a whole is not awake to its advantages. Our neighbor, Uxbridge, reciaimed a frog pond and made it mto a pretty little lake with a very creditable park along side. This was when I'. C. Nichols was mayor and'it wouta seem he and his council had the support of the people. Here we have a beautiful lake which we deride as a frog pond and discourage any effort of 'the council to improve its shores. This, in my opinion is a very foolish and niggardly policy and against our own interests as the more people we attract here ithe more valuable pro- perty becomes. In Belleville the other day hundreds of citizens volunteered for the work of cleaning up a stretch of disreput- able shore line. "They worked without wages, showing a splendid spirit and the result is an excellent bathing beach which will for years to come be a civic pride, an attractive breathing spot in leisure moments, and a safe While they receive no cash remun- eration their reward is in having done something worthwhile and something of the same spirit would be welcome here. It is not necessary now_ to enlist volunteers as the old railway and lumber yard has already given place on the south side of the street to a park on which the spade work has' been done, though there is room for much improvement, On the north the land adjacent to the Power House has been improved since the govern- ment built: a-wharf but to make this space worth while the town should acquire the adjacent field on which a dance hall is at present erected. Harris & Harris are advertising the land and building for sale and un- doubtless it will be sold. This means it will remain in private hands and perhaps never again will the opportunity be afforded of acquir- ing it for public use at a reasonable figure. I think we should get back of the 'council and urge them to negotiate for its purchase. Could not the Business Men's Asso-|. ciation come through with some fin- ancial help? The Fair Grounds were purchased by the Agricultural Society paying half the purchase price, had they not done so -the Fair Grounds would to-day be farm land and we would be without a ball field, I think we: should have a meeting of progressive citizens to discuss this before it is too late. = Scugog Township has neglected to provide a public park and now all the worthwhile spots are in private hands and likely to remain so, and &|- Scugoger desiring to take a bath has only the roadway at Stephenson's) where he can take a plunge with im- punity. The Scotch have sold their Highlands to English and Americans and the only way a Hielman can now get on the heather is disguised as a sheep. ] . Remember the Power House front- age and the foot of the street is all that we now own. The land adjacent to Reesor's office is only leased from the Railway and they ¢an dispose of it to private partied and probably will if railway business gets any worse. Once more let me urge the acquire- ment of this piece of property on reasonable terms. H. G. HUTCHESON.
