Honour Roll and Vâ€"Day The Burr property, the original home of Mr. McDougall who ran the flour mill so many years ago is now known as the Weston Hospital Business Men To Meet Thursday, April 12th After the destruction of the dam the 1 was o%euted by a gasoâ€" line engine which supplied the power until the advent of Hydro. ‘The old mill had been, of necessity, built at the waters edge and after the loss of water power it was torn down and rebuilt at street level. This was quite an undertaking as the beams were secured by wooden pins. The timbers were massive affairs and were moved with conâ€" siderable difficulty. As Weston beâ€" came more modernized the Cruickâ€" shanks put up the present concrete block @Â¥ructure to care for their incredsing business and on May 24th, about 13 years ago a terrific fire completely destroyed the old frame buildings. â€" o The mill was ogerated for years by James Cruickshank and his sons Wallace â€" and â€" James. _ Wallace Cruickshank who died in Feb. 1934 was the father of Alex and Dr. Fred, both well known Weston reâ€" sidents and James was the father of Mrs. Fay Jewell also in business in Weston. Recently Mrs. Jewell found it necessary or advisable to purchase a small strip of land adâ€" Jacent to her property and on reâ€" ceiving the old deed from her attorney found it dated 1882. ‘ Many of the older Weston resiâ€" dents remember the Cruickshank dam as "The Old Swimming Hole". It was one of the last dams to be destroyed by the spring floods and the old mill was the last in the disâ€" trict to be run by water power. In 1849 the property was purâ€" chased by Robert McDougall who built a 5 story“friu mill which was mold to the ‘ Wadsworth . brothers, Charles and William, who after a few years of operation sold the property to James Cruickshank & Sons who turned the property into a Wagon: works. Issue after issue of the Times and Guide carried the advertisement of the Cruickshank wagon, which was modestly desâ€" cribed as the best in the world. In 1830 a saw mill was built on the East bank of the Humber and withjin the boundaries of Weston by John Porter. The dam was conâ€" siderably upstream and the mill race ran along the east bank. In 1844 Porter disposed of his mill to Rowland Burr who built himself a pretentious residence of mud brick, just south of the mills, Segnt uo Countryside Bringing Their Grist To The MilF® And For The Famous Cruickshank Wagon Works wThe pufrchlse,‘ by tl';)e toOWn Of&â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"_â€"â€"______ eston, of the concrete building at 118 Main ‘St: North must bring| â€" WELL REMEMBERED bacl‘(ia host of m‘gvmoriel ul)d the mindsâ€"of some of Weston‘s old reâ€"| mss pppprenen . â€"â€"â€" . â€"â€" gidents.

R»ididell, Apr. 5 i About this time one of our local sportsmen was awakened by the sound of an intruder and, grasping his trusty gun, he stalked his prey. A midnight shot, an agonized yell and the sound of falling out of a window and silence. Ever afterâ€" wards the heretofore respected citizen walked with a decided limp or, as the Navy would put it, a list to starhoard. Years afterwards the stream near the sawmill dam was drained and there was disâ€" covered a mess of hides and_bones and horns. The mystery of the missing cows was solved. "Who done it?" Nobody would say but it is said that cows were never mentioned in the hearing of the heretofore respected citizen. We would like to tell you tales of wustlers, bold bad men who went around masked on swift black horses because we like western stories. This, however, is only a tale of missing cows. For months cow after cow disappeared, rich men‘s cows, lone widows‘ cows were missed and no trace left. Watch was set, the name of the suspect was whispered but no proof. One of Weston‘s heretofore reâ€" spected citizens was <shadowed whenever he wandered into lonely spots but the mortality among cows continued. Very many years ago when Weston was in the heyday of its youth, when the Humber turned the wheels of flour mill and saw mill, when the cows roamed the streets and Chief Holley didn‘t demand tags on the dogs, in the old pioneer days of the town, many strange and a?sing things hapâ€" pened. Some of these occurrences, possibly serious, probably humourâ€" ous, will be relayed to you from time to time as coming from the lips of some of Weston‘s oldest residents.

Miss Walwyn is well known to most of the Weston residents, being a daughter of the late Rev. I. B. Walwyn, who was for a number of years minister at Central Church. She was educated at the public schools of. Leamingâ€" ton, Seaforth and London, and later at London Collegiate, Riverdale Collegiate and Toronto and Victoria College, University of Toronto, and obtained a first class professional certificate at _ Regina Normal School. Miss Walwyn taught for a few years in the Regina Public Schools, and then took a short training course in New York Hosâ€" pital, New York. For some eleven years before the present war she organized and conducted European tours, and was a member of ‘the ,YMCA staff in London, England. From there she was transferred to }the staff of the Beaver Hut Club when it opened, and here organizâ€" ed various departments and trained voluntary workers and. at the beâ€" ginning of the present war, was attached to the Children‘s Overseas Reception Board. assisting in orâ€" ganizing and sending off groups of children for overseas evacuafion.

After 30 minutes in the water, there was little hope of resuscitaâ€" tion but York Township police and firemen made every attempt to reâ€" vive him unsuccessfully. / The swollen stream ‘swept him out of sight in an instant and his brother, Philip, aged seven, ran for help.
