The Grey County Pensions Board is function 100 per cent it the decision. of the members at their monthly meet- ing yesterday bears fruit. Last week’s criticism in The Chronicle, however, according to Reeve Corbett of Artemq esia. who was in our oflice yesterday afternoon, was hardly fair to the Board as a whole, and though Mr. Corbett claimed the Board itself had functioned during the past year, he also admitted that there was a lot of the business which should have been attended to and was not. He would not. however. lay any charges nor make any statements.‘ though he did request that 'we'publish the information that the Grey .County, Board does not receive $5.00 a day and expenses. The members receive $4. 00 and ten cents a mile one way, out of w hich they pay their own expenses. Mr. Corvett's statement was news to us, my the amount received does not a-, mount to anything in the argument. To I‘),l' mind the $5.00 per day and ex- ,w-mes is not too much. The Board uwmbers have a lot of extra work to do .anirside of their regular meetings, and v. . do not think there is anyone who '1-1131d think they were overpaid.

But we in- :end to watch the operations for a time Lilid ~99 that the resolution is carried out. The Chronicle is satisfied to accept the statement of Mr. Corbett that the mem- bers of the Board were not at fault tor any delays that had arisen. We are not even going to try and find out who was. Let the dead past bury its dead. Let bygones be bygones. And let the Grey County Pensions Board go ahead and function and they’ll hear no more from this newspaper. It must not be thought, however, that ziw Chronicle is backing down or offer- me; any apology for last week’s article. I: may have been wrong in patches, but generally it was right, as the followmt; {éom w'édnesday's' issue of the Owen Sound Sun-Times will show: "The County of Grey Old Age Pen- aim: Board held its first meeting since Julv 11th at the Court House on Tues- day afternoon. and dealt with applica- Hons numbering about half a hundred. which will be forwarded to the Depart- ment headquarters at Toronto immed- lufely.

There was no meet- ing in August. but they will be held reâ€" gularly each month from now on.” win their statement to the Sun- Times Wardens Lembke and Holm, as quoted above, made the statement that it was their opinion that “t_he__charges shoulq --vâ€"â€" be answered through the columns of the Durham paper, which would be done in due course.” With this we are in full accord. The Chronicle will pub- lish any letter from the Pensions Board which they may see fit to send. It was not the intention of this newspaper to treat any member unfairly; rather we are ready and willing to cO-Operate with the Board in any manner possible that will facilitate their work and speed up the relief of those of our older residents who may need Pensions Board relief, and to which they are entitled by law.

DURHAM, ONTARIO, CANADA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, ....... ....... FORMER RESIDENTS ; 50 YEARS MARRIED Former Pastor of Durham Dentist Church, His First Charge, With Wife Who Came Here as a Bride, Last Week Celebrated Their Golden Wed- Last week’s issue of the Aylmer Ex- press contained an account of the cele- bration of the golden wedding of Rev. and Mrs. James C. Dunlap, and many former parishioners in Durham, who will remember them back in the 808 will join with their Aylmer friends in wishing them many more years of wedded bliss. It is a long way back to the year 1880, but there are still many in. this neighborhood who will remember Rev. and Mrs. Dunlop, the former coming here to accept his first pastorate, and the latter accompanying him as his bride. The Express says: Rev. James Cochrane Dunlap and Mrs. Dunlap, of Aylmer, celebrated the Fiftieth Anniversary‘\ of their wedding on Monday of this week. Both, for their ages, are quite hale and hearty. and on Monday motored to Hagersville, with Mr. and Mrs. William J. Dunlap of Toronto and spent the day with their son, Mr. and Mrs. Charles G. Dunlap and family. They have lived to see their large family grow up, receia'e good education, and occupy responsible positions. To them must come great joy at this golden anniversary to see ~their family so attentive to the desires of their parents. The early and proper; training given the children by this noble ‘ couple is now bearing good fruit. What a country this would be if the majority of homes were blessed with such par- entage? Long may they live to enjoy the lives that they are now living. The Rev. James Cochrane Dunlap was born on a farm on the Rideau River, not far from Ottawa, on February 2, 1846, and is probably Alymer’s oldest citizen, being in his 85th year. After attending Grammar school in Ottawa, he spent eight years in the Woodstock College from which he graduated in 1880. Mrs. Dunlap, before her mar- riage, was Agnes Freel, and was born at Stewarton, Scotland, on October the 16th. 1854, and came to Canada with her parents when she was eight years old. Settling at Fltzray Harbor, on the Ottawa River in Calton County, where she lived until her marriage. ’ Mr. Dun10p’s first pastorate, after ordination, was in Durham, in Grey County, where, after their marriage on September 8th, 1880, he took his bride to live. Then successively he ministered to Baptist churches in Aberdeen, A1- monte, Stayner, Creemore, Clinton and Springfield. with which was then affili- ated the Baptist church at Malahide and Bayham. In 1912 he retired from the active pastorate and moved to Ayl- mer, but continued preaching in var- ious churches south of this town; In all, including ten years of student-pas- torates, mostly in the Province of Que- bec in his early years he spent sixty years in the ministry. Mr. and Mrs. Dunlop are the par- ents of nine children, three sons and six daughters: William J., who is Director of University Extension and publicity, in the University of Toronto; Mrs. Anthony B. Gendron, of Penetang; Charles G., of the stat! of the Hagers- ville High School; R. Torrance, mana- ger of the Bank of Montreal at Fenelon Falls; Marion, of the staff of the Brown Public School, Toronto; Florence, of the staff of the Central Public school Brantford; Mrs. Stanley Fox of Har- row; Mrs. Boyd Thompson, of Aylmer; and Mrs. (Rev) Leonard J. Rattan, of Camden, New Jersey. There are fifteen grand-children. One of the aims which Mr. and Mrs. Duniop kept contintially in their minds from the beginning was that their children should receive good edu- cations. Of the nine children, eight took out teaching certificates, and taught in schools in Ontario; the ninth was given a business education and en- tered banking. It is probably safe to say that in this locality, no people are more generally and iavorably known than these two who have now completed fifty years oi married life. Mr. Dunlop has, during his ministry, performed over *six hundred weddings and has officiat- ding Anniversary. Off To The Wilds With Rod And Gun Two of Durham' 3 mighty hunters, Messrs. Peter Gagnon and Dr. D. B. Jamleson, left Saturday for the James’ Two of Durham’s Big Gun: Hunters Left Saturday on Fall Huntâ€"Expect to Return in About. two Weeks. Bay district where, for the next two weeks, they intend to get back to na- ture and at the same time astonish the natives of Ontario’s hinterland by showing them how to pull the proper “bead” on anything in the big game line that this northern country may possess. Unlike that former notable Who sat on a stone and cried for more worlds to conquer, Durhanl’ s 1930 model Daniel Boones simply don’t do this thing. They set Out and hunt it up. And “what great sights by the North- ern Lights" they'll see ere they. return! Leaving here Saturday, the duo en- trained at Toronto that same night for the north. taking the T. as N. O. as far as Coral Rapids, the end of steel. Here they have chartered a launch and a couple of guides and will make the trip to James’ Bay down the Abittibi River by boat. They intend as well to take a snort cruise on the Bay and Will visit a couple of the islands before re- turning southward again. It takes a couple of days to go down' the river from Coral Rapids to the Bay. and something over four to get back, and from this distance it looks like a-‘ real nice fall trip which we trust both, will enjoy. It should be a great holiday! Nobody to turn you around in the morning to see if you have donned the proper necktie to match something or other else; no one to see that your big toe is not peeping out through holes in your socks, or that you take your usual morning shave, and when nighttime! comes nobody about to inform you that you are sleeping between the wrong blankets! In fact, nobody to care a darn what time you get in at night, what time you roll out in the morning, or whether or not the bacon and eggs you had for breakfast are in your stom- ach or on your chin. What a life! It surely must be a “gra-a-a-nd and glor- i-o-us feeling” to know that for two full weeks you can turn savage, forget civi- lization, and not care a hoot whether or not the neighbors approve of your actions, or if you are keeping up with the Jones family or paddling along behind. We rather envy our two townsmen their holiday, wish we were with them, and while not permitted to go in person can assure them we are there in spirit.

Alfred Duranlenu. Minister of Marine in the Bennett Cabinet. from his most recent official photo- The weekly newspaper published in the small towns and villages has an opportunity to be a power in the community. In Western Ontar- io there are several outstanding em- amples of excellent weekly journal- ism, and there are others which do not deserve the label “newspaper", in the sense that a publication should convey news. information and comment. The Durham Chronicle laments the missing of one week’s editorial comment column in the Fergus News-Record, and says: “It is said a poor will is better than no will at all. A newspaper without an editorial opinion is sim- ply not a newspaper. An editorial at least shows that the editor has some opinions, be they good, bad or indifferent." Both the Durham Chronicle and the Fergus News-Record have excel- lent columns, as have the Simcoe Reformer and the Chesley Enterprise and many others. These. editors keep up with the trend of the times in their community. They launch drives for improvement, they direct thought, they call attention to the bad and praise the good in daily life. Such comment usually mirrors pub- lic opinion, although at times it molds it. The editorial column of the weekly newspaper can be truly “personal journalism” and be of keen and contined interest to its readers. It would be well it more of the weeklies had columns such as those mentioned above.
