Clarence Craig, brother of THE OAKVILLE-TRAFALGAR JOURNAL Page 15 LOCAL BOOK-BINDER KEEPS HISTORICAL SYNOD RECORDS In a neat, bright basement 100m of a new home at the corn- er of William and Reynolds St. an elderly gentleman of schol- arly appearance works system- atically every day among a grow- Ing collection of records and fil- es. Among the mass of neatly docketed information are histor- ical facts of every ome of the Anglican churches in Toronto diocese, and files on every clergy- man. A wealth of history of this old and important diocese is at the fingertips of Canon R. W. Allen, its official historiographer, who patiently adds to his docu- mentary collection day by day. To the other abilities required for this work, Canon Allen adds the skill of a book-binder. It is a skill he acquired unaided. Short- ly after his appointment to the position by the late Bishop Owen of Toronto in 1938, Canon Allen decided that the proceedings of the |Synod and other records which come in booklet form should be given some more dur- able covering than one of paper. He was quite without experience as a book-binder, but he set to work. His method was extremely simple. Procuring some stiff cardboard, he cut two pieces to the size of the booklet to be bound, placed- one of these cov- ers on each side of the book and fastened them together at the back with a strip of gummed pap- er. It made a very neat job. The more of this work Canon became and his shelves now contain rows of slender, neatly bound volumes. He gets his ma- terial from a number of sources, nd sometimes has to do consid- erable "digging" in order to ob- tain it. He carries on a fair-siz- ed correspondence, and gets many requests for information of various kinds pertaining to chur- ches in the diocese. The diocese of Toronto, whose records Canon Allen so indus- triously ¢collects, is one of the old- est and most important in Canada. A part of the diocese of Quebec | . from the year 1793, it became a separate diocese In 1839, due to the settlement and growth of Upper Canada. Tirst bishop of the diocese was the celebrated Bishop John Strachan, formerly archdeacon of York, mow Toron- to. Until 1875 the diocese of Nia- gara, in which Oakville is situat- ed, was a part of Toronto dio- cese, which originally included the whole of what is now the province of Ontario. Huron dio- cese, with London as its head- quarters, became separated in 1857, and in 1861 the diocese of Ontario, with Kingston as its see city, was set up. The Anglican church popula- tion of Toronto diocese increased from 82,709 in 1900 to 170,427 in 1950, and the number of parishes and missions grew from 188 to 255. Events in the life of every fons all find their way into Can- on Allen's meatly arranged re- rds. a 8 his retirement from the active ministry, he moved to Oakville with Mrs. Allen. A. native f , Ont, Canon Allen was ordained to the ministry in 1907, and was first appointed as curate to St. Mat- thew's Church, Toronto. Later he served as rector at Brooklin and Columbus, in Ontario Coun- ty, at Whitby, and Brampton. While at the latter place he was appointed rural dean of Peel County, and began to take an ac- tive interest in diocesan history. About eight years ago, following FOR. ..
