Ada Elizabeth Clark King became his bride, March 31, 1906 at St. Albans, England. Later that year the couple journeyed to Canada and took up re- sidence in Toronto, Ontario, where the family lived until the death of Mrs. Brinkman in 1932, Mr. Brink- man then moved his family to Streets- ville and in 1935 to Port Perry, where he, his brother Charles and younger sons have lived for the past twenty- five years.

Many homes are still without hydro even on Tuesday afternoon. Teams of lo- cal men have worked long weary hours to clean up the debris, cutting up broken trees and clearing the streets, along with gangs of men from the hydro and telephone companies. A large tree crashing down at the back of the Gossard factory tore hy- dro wires and brackets from both the Gossard place and the United Church resulting .in a power failure in that area. Hydro brackets were also torn from the homes of Bob Crosier, Mrs. Garvey and the Misses Harris, At the Harris home the verandah railing was also torn out with the bracket. A tree crashed onto the Lovell home on Ella St., damaging the roof. Two cars were reported injured by falling branches, the owners being Allan Oke and John Franssen. A great many T.V. and radio aerials are down. In addition to crews of local work- ers the telephone and hydro folk have worked ceaselessly to restore service, and yet many areas are still without these essential services. The Hydro have brought crews of workmen from areas as far away as North Bay and Ottawa to assist in the gigantic task imposed on the Oshawa-Toronto-Ha- milton areas by the storm. Workmen from the Huntsville district have been assisting the local gangs. Several transformers will have to be replaced completely before power can be res- tored and in some sections the lines have been broken in so many places that a complete restringing job is needed. The ordinary citizen owes a great deal to these courageous workers who have literally taken their lives in their hands in many instances.. The business of handling live wires and climbing poles can be dangerous enough under the best of conditions but add ice, wind and darkness and the most ordinary job becomes a real peril. Thanks men!! Pickering Breaks Marinas' Win String Just like the Montreal Canadiens, the Marinas can be beaten, said play- ing-coach Gordie "Boom Boom" Get- tins of the Caesarea Reg's Marinas following an 8 to 5 defeat at the hands of Pickering Sunday night. It was a bad night for the Marinas as they played short-handed and couldn't seem to get going. Three of the goals, one allowed for the Picker- ing club and two disallowed for Cae- sarea also took its toll, Wayne "Knobby" Venning was top man for the Marinas with three goals, with singles going to Gary Edgar and Don Cochrane, Pickering started the scoring off about midway in the first frame, with the Marinas tying the score on a goal by Venning assisted by Art McArthur and Fred Clark. 'The Pickering club fired one more past Bailey in the Marinas cage to end the scoring in the first period. The second period was a nightmare for the Marinas, with the Pickering club breaking loose for six goals, com- pared to two goals by the Marinas. Edgar scored on a long bouncing shot and Venning scored his second goal of the night in this period for the Marinas. The Caesarea boys settled down in the third stanza, with Bailey keeping the Pickering boys off the scoresheet and Venning, 'assisted by McArthur netted his third goal, while Don Co- chrane finished the scoring and made the final score read Pickering 8, and Caesarea, b,. Home Decoration Contest With literally hundreds of home de- corated this year for our Annual Home Decoration Contest the Cham- ber of Commerce wishes to thank all those who participated making this the best contest yet. Without those who do not win the results would not be nearly so attractive and we sincerely appreciate the efforts of cach and every one. Judging was done on the evening of Boxing Day and .this was quite a task as so many homes were decorated. As was done last year the judges were instructed to select the three homes best decorated with lights being used. The judges felt that there were two homes that stood out for originality, lighting and the amount of work in- volved, but there were so many beauti- fully decorated homes that they final- ly decided that the only way to choose the 8rd prize would be to put the names of those who were being con- sidered in the hat and draw one name. This was done and it is hoped that it meets with everyone's approval. test winners as follows: Mrs. Sandison, Rosa St. # Mr. and Mrs. R. Archer, Crandell St. Mr. and Mrs. N.

Wm. Gould defeated Frederick Kell- and 177-50 to capture a controversial sixth seat on Council. Another would-be candidate, Mrs. Marguerite Chatterley claims she has a legal right to the position. She received a nomination at tho town's first meeting on Nov. 25th. For some unexplained reason, it be- came lost and according to reports, was later found outside the building. Jt had been torn up. Mrs. Chatter- ley received a momination at the town's second meeting but she re- fused to qualify, claiming she had al- ready been elected. Had her nomina- tion paper been received by the Clerk within the time allotted, she would have filled the sole remaining seat. Mrs. Chaterley said there was a de- liberate, illegal and improper attempt to keep her off council. On Dec, 18, Crown Attorney Alex Hall announced that a provincial police inquiry would be held into the procedures at the Nov. 256th nomination meeting.

This tour, was arranged in support of the annual Christmas Seal Campaign of the Ontario Tuber- culosis Association and planned that all sanatoria would be visited between Dec. 12th and 19th, "I have recognized the tremendous strides made in tuberculosis field over the past ten years but unfortunately in | this respect, the true picture has not | always been presented to the public so that they understand that tuber- culosis is still a major health problem" the Minister said. "I think it is im- portant that the public realize that tuberculosis is far from being beaten and that organizations such as the Ontario Department of Health and the Ontario Tuberculosis Association are still waging a continuing battle against this disease." The Minister also sated that through the purchase of Christmas Seals the citizens of Ontario are giving their support to the work presently being carried on by the Ontario Tubercul- osis Association in the fields of re- habilition, health education, mass chest x-ray surveys and tuberculin testing programs. He emphasized that every citizen can contribute to the ultimate victory over tuberculisis by giving their wholchearted support to the Christmas Seal Campaign in their area, Mrs. E. A.

Western Assistance The Federal Government's offer to share the cost of aid to western farm- ers who were caught by ex ly snows with much of their crop unharvested has been accepted by all 'Viree prairie provinces, Agriculture Minister Doug- las S. Harkness announced recently. The government, he said will share on a 50-50 basis with Manitoba, Sas- katchewan and Alberta, the cost of providing emergency assistance to farmers who were unable to harvest 50 per cent or more of their crops. The provincial programs follow in principle the proposals contained in n statement made by Prime Minister Diefenbaker on November 27. The Prime Minister at that time of- fered to share with the provinces the cost of assistance programs under- taken by them to provide for pay- ments of up to $3 an acre on a maxi- mum of 200 acres per farmer, on un- threshed crops of wheat oats, barley, rye and flax.
