It is gratifying to know that most of the above are engaged in Canada's basic industry, agriculture, and that of the many who went West very few have suffered from drouth conditions; but is it lanientable that more inten- sive farming does not keep greater numbers of the young people at the home base. A recent survey of the Greenbank, community of fifty years ago revealed the fact that out of 78 family names, only 16 are there today. Wilbert (W.) This is in striking contrast to the Lanark County district of Middleville, where practically all the farms are held by descendents of the first set- tlers of 120 years ago. This may be explained by the fact that instead. of having a mixed race practically all the latter came from Lanark, Scotland, and were clanish, Very few entered the professions: A. D. McArthur follows medicine; Charlie Gulley -is--an- electrical -engi- neer; teaching for a time claimed Arvella Real, Mary Perkins and Grace Till, the latter achieving much suc- cess as a writer; Lizzie McArthur ex- celled in the nursing profession; Bob Burns is a prominent Calgary con- tractor. Only five failed to venture over he sometimes troubled sea of matri- mony. Of the many ~school- day romances, nét supposed to be noticeable by the teacher, only two couples paired up for life, Ernest Jamieson and Etta Salter; Joe Phenix and Pearl Real. For better or for worse, Mr, Miller has had to do with the marriage of ten of these pupils and one trustee Mr. T. L. Salter." have his money back. The Board of Trustees for this period were T. E. Cragg, George Real and T. L. Salter, succeeded by D. W. Luke, George Byers and Jas. Leask. Only Mr. Salter and Mr. Leask are living. The religious "life was well cared for by Rev. J. M. Cameron, Presby- terian; 'and Rev. R. H. Leitch, who | built the beautiful Methodist (now United) Church. It is difficult for the younger folk to visualize an age with no telephones, no rural mail, no hydro, no radios, no automobiles, no cement pavement, but perhaps the community life was more enjoyable than it is today. A survey of the experience gaining activities of Mr. Miller, portrays a great variety in " tieighbourhood _ life, He was financial secretary of both I.O.F. and C. O. C.

Besides teaching the Women's Class and Sup- erintendent of the Presbyterian Sun- day School, he was also a local preach- er in the Methodist Church, thus showing how prepared Greenbank was for Union in 1926, and reaching the 'splendid ideal of only one church for the whole district. To Mr. Miller, the memories of these very happy days have been ah inspiration all through a varied and very busy life, and» Greenbank still fills the chief place in his affections, readers a very Happy Ntw Year, A heafty welcome awaits any who ean call at his home at 710 Coxwell Ave. Nearly all of Mr. Miller's ministry of thirty-three" years, has been in the City of Toronto, devoted mainly to employment (in war days), immigra- tion and Church extension work.)
