ata A spelt mnntcpie -- oonstone Residents mourn passing by Marguerite Dunlop Recently Moonstone lost one of its native sons after an illness of approximately three years. Carman Robinson had spent most of his life in Moonstone. He was the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Robinson of Moonstone. As a young man he helped on the family farm as well as assisting in the erection of the original Medonte telephone lines, but later became interested in the Brown and Eplett Motors in Orillia, who sold Hudson products. Later he became interested in the building industry. He constructed many barns and several houses in Medonte and surrounding areas. In 1944 he married Tessie Beard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Beard of Carley. Car- man was particularly keen about hockey, plaving with Orillia and Moonstune teams. He took ill when he and his wife were on trip to Florida three years ago. He died at Soldiers Memorial Hospital in Orillia on December 30, 1980. The funeral service took place at Mundell Funeral Home in Orillia on January 2, and was conducted by Rev. Ken Barker of St. Pauls United Church, Orillia. Carman is survived by brothers John of Windsor, George of Espanola, Howard of Moonstone, Max of Toronto and_ sister Jeanette also of Toronto. The excellent snow conditions that prevail at present in the Medonte area have provided ideal snow base for skiers and snowmobilers. Although stoves and furnaces have been taxed to capacity to deal with this very cold weather, fortunately our fire brigade has had verv few fire calls. Several boat dealers in the area have been attending the Boat Show at Toronto's Exhibitions Grounds. Most of the staff of Dunlops have been attending the Furniture Show at the International Centre of Commerce also _ in Toronto. Snowmobilers are giving a good report of the conditions on the groomed trail between Moonstone and Elm- vale. The pine and evening grosbeaks are as regular as the blue-jays, chicadees and nuthatches at _ the feeding stations around our community, in the pine trees, sumac shrubs and flowering crab trees. The teachers and students of Medonte East school would like to thank all those parents, friends, and neighboutrs who helped with the turkey dinner at the school before the Christmas vacation.
