VOL. 64.â€"N0. 3300 Moose Factory. at the mouth of the Moose River on James’ Bay. is one of ' o oldest settlements in Ontario. The essel anchored there on 1678, two year before the Hudson’s Bay Com- pany obtained its charter. Once the centre of the fur industry, it is now a mere headquarters for . the outlying 908?; It contains some 20 to 30 houses and has a Hudson’s Bay store. With the opening of the railway to James‘ Bay. great hopes are emertaln- w! for the development of this section of the province. One New York man has been already on the ground with the idea of erecting a million-dollar hotel. This is rather too optimistic. ac- cording to our local townsrnen, at least jtlst yet. There is about as much need for a million-dollar hotel at Moose Factory as Zaro Agha. the lSO-year-old tomhless Turk now in this country has for a box of toothpicks or a tooth brush. But there is a great future for this North country just the same. The Aberdeen bridge. spanning the 83 ugeen river at Aberdeen. in Dentinck township. was placarded last Saturday mtlht as unsafe for heavy traflic. How long it has been in this condition is not definitely known. but last fisturday was the first intimation Reeve McDonald had that one of the abutments was badly washed out and would have to be E‘Daired before the bridge could be con- sxdered safe for any heavy loads that might have to pass over it. The wash- out was discovered by Mr. David Lamb and Son Roy. who reported it to the township authorities. Messrs. Peter Gagnon and Dr. D. B. Jamieson. whose departure for the James' Bay district in Northern On- tario was told in these columns two weeks ago. returned to town Saturday, much impressed with the vastness of Ontario's north country, its possibilities and its problems. Leaving Toronto on a Saturday night they took the T. 8: N .O. to Cochrane. arriving there Sunday night. They journeyed on to Coral Rapids. "the end of steel” which they reached Monday night, and thence over the road under construction, on a work train at present known as “The Polar Bear" to Blacksmiths’ Rapids, where they took their m"tor launch up the Abittibi and Moose rivers, and then clown to Moose Factory on James’ Bay, which they reached Wednesday even- ing. From here they went some twen- ty-odd miles up James‘ Bay where they camped for a couple of days, spending further time at other points of interest along the route.

On the road out they stopped at Blacksmiths’ Rapids and looked over the coal fields. bringing a small sample home with them. The coal is rather light in weight to that to which we have been accustomed and looks more like heavy charcoal.

Mun-g Durham’s old young man, Mr. James Burt, who is 93 years of age and still going strong. has been receiving sOme publicity at the hands or the press dur- ing the past couple of weeks. Recently the Brampton correspondent of the To- ronto Star wrote him up on the occasion of his visit to that town, and to which we referred last week, and now the editor of the Walkerton Telescope, who met him on the train going to the city has some nice things to say about him. The Telescope in its last issue says: “In the train, en route to Toronto last Friday, we were introduced by Con- ductor George Walker to the “Daddy of Durham”. ‘ Mr. James Burt is really remarkable, for, with his faculties as alert as twenty years ago, he has ex- ceeded by 23 years the Psalmist’s allot-s ted span of three score and ten. “Just seven years short of the cen- tury mark, which at his present rate of going is not too much to hope for him, Mr. Burt is an interesting conversation- ist. Naturally, he delights in remin- isce, but he keeps abreast of the times. He travels alone (in Western Canada '16 times). and the cane he carries is really not necessary. The prohihition campaign was in full swing and the women’s committee were interviewing .one of the town’s oldest resdents, '95 years of age and a total abstaln'er. >'I’hey3'were taking his state- ment inna- bedroom of the house where the aged eleétor‘ was propped up in bed and gasping 'for‘breath. Suddenly there was a comniotibn’ L in the kitchen. Pots and pans were- sent"’flying, and a man’s voice was heard- ' aliove the rattle. “Graciousfi’n sud ’ one of the ladies, f‘what is that dreadful noise?” “Don’t pay any attention to it, miss." said the aged man in the bed. “it’s only my poor old dadâ€"drunk again" _- “This elderly gentleman, who has been in Durham for 70 years, has cele- brated, with members of his home lodge, his fiftieth anniversary as a Freemason, and he still takes an active interest in the fraternity. His enthusiasm and assstance contributed in no small mea- sure to the Durham Lodge purchasing a new'home a couple of years ago. and dislikes. Among the former are the Masons, the ladies and Mackenzie King; his chief dislikes are the To- ronto Telegram, those who fail to st- tend Lodge and G.’ Howard Ferguson. But there is nothing like this in Mr. Burt. There is no citizen of the town who spends less time in bed than he. He is seldom ill, has no bad habits, and is much respected by all who know “Mr. Burt attributes his long life, he told us, to regularity in his mode of liv- ing, and, in a large degree, to the fact that he has never used liquor or to- bacco. In his younger days he worked hard, as a moulder. To this it might be added that Mr. Burt is fully as active as The Telescope says he is. About bright and early each morning he is around town all day and seldom if ever misses a meeting of either the Durham Masonic Lodge or the Chapter. More than that, he is the chairman of the sick committee in these lodges and on his shoulders rests the responsibility of seeing that all those under the weather are prOperly visited and their condition reported to the lodge. He is also the official lodge caretaker, sees that the rooms are pro- perly heated, and that none of the. members so far forgets himself as to drop any cigarette or cigar ashes on the floor. “It was a novelty and a pleasure to have a chat with a man so well preser- ved at 93 years of age, and the Teles- cope joins his numerous friends in wishing him a continuation of the bles- sings which are his.” Besides this, it is generally believed he is getting younger every day, and next spring no one around Durham would be much surprised if he emerged wearing plus fours and swinging a bag full of golf clubs. Next will come tennis and finally hockey. Mr. Burt thinks his longevity is the result of a total abstinence from to- bacco and liquor. but of that we don’t know. He is a total abstaincr, all right, but whether this is the real rea- son for his advanced years we are not prepared to say. Which reminds us of a story. VISITED IN DURHAM; HAD STORE ROBBED ..

The introduction to the study of the annual Work on the overhead bridge, which is a big job, is being rushed right along and it is expected to be nearly com- pleted in another month and a. half.

Friday of next week is the date set for their dance and those who attend will not only get full value for their money but will be contributing to a worthy cause. Friday night, October 10, 1930, is to be “Nurses’ Night” in Durham, when the nursing staff of the local hospital are putting on a dance to raise funds for the furnishing of their residence quarters. It is to be hOped there will be a good turnout. It is not very often the nurses ask for the patronage of the town and country; in fact this is the first time we can remember when they have .de- termined to try and do something for thmselves. Hitherto they have devoted their time and energies toward doing something for somebody else, as anyone who has ever been a patient in the local hospital can testify. FIRE BRIGADE HAD RUN BUT WERE NOT NEEDED Gala Time Expected in Factory Show Room Friday of Next Weekâ€"Funds to Go Toward Furnishing Nurses’ Durham Nurses Section of Hospital. to Hold Dance The people of Grey County can thank ' the Durham Chronicle for performing a public duty that was evidently much in need judging from immediate results. The Durham paper noted the fact that the Grey County Old Age Pension Board was not attending to its duties, and investigated the matter. It was that,touseanaptphraae.theBoard was asleep at the switch. Applications for pensions were being delayed by the indiflerence of the Board; were pigeon- holed for months at a time. and in gen- eral the work, which is of great import to the aged of the community was being grossly neglected. In order that the blame might be placed in the right spot. the Chronicle took the matter up with the Old Age Pensions Commission at Toronto. Al- though that body was reluctant to place the blame, the information was secured that even the Commission had a diflicult job getting any assistance from the Grey County Board. The Commission also told the Chronicle that there was no delay in Toronto in the matter of dealing with pension appli- cations; that any correspondence re- i'ceived is invariably answered the same lday it is received. The Commission istated that they could do nothing if the County authorities are lax in their duties. The prompt action of the Old Age Pension Board of Grey County to rem- edy a situation which was not credit- able to the members of the Board is to be very heartily commended. and it is to be hoped that there will be no fur- ther necessity for publicity in the public press because the business of the public has been neglected. Just the' other day a gentleman who lives here, told us he had applied for the pension several months ago, but so far as he knew, no action had been taken. What about it, Bruce County Pensions Board? What Editors Think . 0f Chronicle Charges In the meantime, it might be well for all County Councils to keep an eye on their Old Age Pension Boards and pre- vent them from getting into a rut, al- though it is difficult to understand how any man, being engaged in such hu- manitarian work, and getting paid for it, could become indifferent to its im- portanoe. The result was that a few days after the Chronicle had levelled its charges the County Board got busy and held a meeting, at which they decided they had better get down to business. The only reference to the Chronicle made was that it had been “pretty harsh” in its accusations. The members of the Board who smarted under the prick of the goad brought it upon themselves, and it was fortunate that the commun- ity had a paper that was wide awake and valiant enough to bring the matter With this information on hand. the Chronicle launched an attack upon the Grey County Board that simply could not be ignored. Nor could it be in- terpreted as being made for any other purpose than purely in the public inter- ests. The blame was placed upon those deserving and the Chronicle called either for an awakening of the Board and action on their part. or the resigna- tion of every member of that body.
