* Shorthand, Lindsay, Ont. 2 -- PORT PERRY STAR THURSDAY, SEPT. 24th, 1964 REACH SCHOOL (Continued from page 1) Reach School Board, along with all other School Area Boards in the County of Ont. ario map out bus routes in mid- June of each year. The five School Trustees work individu- ally in their own areas of the Township to ensure the most logical route the bus should travel, Over the years, school laws state that no unnecessary hardship should be placed on the pupils who live great dis- tances from the shcool, and Reach School Area Board has done everything possible to minimize existing "hardships." Chairman Holtby pointed out there are fourteen concessions to Reach Township and unless buses are to run up and down every Concession road, no change can be made for any one particular portion of the Town- ship. In the case of a newly built school, or the opening of a new bus route, tenders are called for the job by advertisements in local papers. The Board a- wards the tender and once the contract is signed with the owners, the routes are filed with both the Department of Education and the Department of Transport. Bus operators tender on a mileage basis and no school Board would ever risk the chaos involved if it deliberately broke its contract once the route had been established. Several of the delegation concurred with this, and the is- sue was left for future settle- ment. Parents were urged to turn out to the Township Nomina- tion meeting which will be held in November, and if they are dissatisfied with their present representative on the School Board they have every oppor- tunity of nominating and elect- ing some one else. Trustee Mulholland suggest- ed that a referendum be held at the next Township Election to obtain the sentiments of the other 13 Concessions with re- gard to providing school buses aa Can You Spare 2 Evenings A Week TO ACQUIRE PROFITABLE "WORTHWHILE SKILLS?

However, Mr, Houghland thought some of the taxpayers who don't have children going to school would probably be against this. Chairman Holtby strongly urged the meeting to remember that the present School Board might not be in office next year, or the year following, and therefore he and his fellow trustees could not make com- mitments which they would be unable to fulfil. Mr. Payne thanked the Board for receiving the delegation and the meeting adjourned at 10.00 o'clock.

Around eleven o'- clock the lucky jackpot ticket was drawn from a drum, and the winner announced was a Mrs. Amy Bennett, of Van- couver, B.C. Unknown to those gathered in the Legion Hall, Mrs. Amy Ben- nett is the sister of Elma Doyle, wife of bus-operator, Irvine Doyle of Frince Albert. Since January Mrs. Doyle had been purchasing Legion tickets each and every time they were of- fered for sale, and had been writing in the name of her sister Amy Bennett. On that memorable night, when her friends phoned to say she had won $579.00 the Doyle family was jubilant. Elma's mother and father celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in August, and this windfall would make it possible to bring the whole family home to Bob- caygeon. Sister Amy has 4 children and the railway far for a family of six amounts to $565.00. From the cheque received from the Legion Draw, Elma proceeded to purchase the ne- cessary tickets and sent them off to the family in Vancouver. As a result of this happy in- cident, 33 members of the Thompson family gathered for a family dinner at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall in Bob- caygeon on Saturday, Aug. 15. Four daughters and three sons, together with their offspring, took their places at the dinner table which had as it's centre- piece a three-tier wedding cake with white and gold decorations topped . with golden bells. The cake was baked by the daugh- ter-in-law, Mrs. Joe Thompson. Mr. and Mrs. Allen Thompson were married in Bobcaygeon December 9th, 1914 and farmed at Dunsford for 39 years. Born to the union were 3 sons and 4 daughters, all of whom (including Amy from Vancou- ver) were able to be with their parents on the occasion of the golden wedding, Lloyd of Cali- fornia; Richard and Joseph of Dunsford; Mrs. Irvine Doyle (Elma) of Prince Albert, Ont.; Mrs. Preston Bennett (Amy) Vancouver, B.C.; Mrs. James Rogers (Hazel), Dunsford and Mrs. . Kenneth Devitt (Shirley) of Port Perry. Special guests at the celebra- |: tion were the groomsman and bridesmaid of 50 years ago, -- pe cilla Tranter. Many beautiful gifts, includ- ing a bouquet of 50 red roses from the family, were presented as tokens of esteem to the happy couple. In addition to messages of congratulations by ecard and telegram, Mr. and Mrs. Thomp- son were remembered by Pre- mier John Robart, Lamb, M.P. and the Hon. Mat- thew Dymond, But the best gift of all was the fact thei whole family was able to be with them on the all-important anniversary day. On Sunday morning, a total of thirty-five Thompsons and their families attended church services at Christ Church (An- glican) in Bobcaygeon, and all received Holy Communion. The small church was filled to ea- pacity but one can only guess at the happiness felt by Mr. and Mrs. Thompson to look around and see all their children and grandchildren gathered with them to celebrate 50 years of happy marriage. were 2 small babies who were to have been baptized, but due to the celebration of Holy Com- munion, the christening had to be postponed. In conversation with Mrs. Irv. Doyle, she told the Star that if it hadn't been for the good for- tune of winning the Port Perry Legion Draw, Mrs. Bennett (Amy) and her family could never have made the trip East from Vancouver. Another "if" of importance is that unselfish act on the part of Elma Doyle, who could have put her winnings of $579.00 to any one of a dozen purchases. Instead, she bought transporta- tion for the six members of the family who found it impos- sible to finance the trip from Charles | | Also present - Guide News The fall activities for Guides and Brownies the last week in September.
