Many Changes I I | IELDER HENRY, WHO WORKED i AT PRINTING TRADE SIXTY YEARS AGO, VISITS FREE PRESS OFFICE. Elder Henry, now residing near Manilla, but formerly of the Chris- Itian Church, at Little Britain for a number of years was a caller at The .Free Press Saturday. Mr. Henry viewed the upâ€"to-date plant of The Free Press with a great deal of in- terest, and contrasted the wonders of a. modern printing ofice with that of sixty years ago when he himself was connected for a few years with the printing business. In these early days, Mr. Henry, then a boy of ten years old, every morning had a three- mile walk to Oshawa, carrying with [him his little dinner pail from which of I he secured his noon-day meal. He worked at the printing business all day and journeyed home again at night. This strenuous life with its well-filled daily employment contin- ued for about three years, ween Mr. Henry went into other business. The linotypesâ€"the modern type-set- ting machines employed by The Free Pressâ€"were of particular interest to Mr. ‘Henry, and no doubt the im- provement is most marked from the slow and laborious handosetting of type used in the early days. The Washington hand press used 'in this ofice as a proof press reminded Elder Henry of the only style of newspa- per press used in his early days. This press was built on similar principle to the prod press, but was crude in address and handsome gifts from the members of the Court. Messrs. Kel- cher and Laidley have been active and appreciated workers in the local C.O.F. for several years past. and their work fully deserved the tribute given. Both these estimable young citizens leave next week for Hunts- ville, where they have accepted posi- tions. The loss of th_ese citizens will not only be felt by the C.O.F., but by the citizens in general, as both have been prominent in social and other circles and have been the best kind of citizens. Mr. Kelcher has resided in Lindsay for 21 years and is one of the town’s mos t popular young men. The C.O.F. presented Mr. Kelcher with a beautiful ring and Mr. Laid- ley with a handsome pin, together with the following address: To Bros. W. E. Kelcher and B. Laid- ley:â€"- It is with no small measure of regret that your brother Fore ~tecs of this dis- trict learned of your intention to re- move to Huntsville during the com- ing month. This regret, however, has teen somewhat lessened by the know- ledge that in your removal new 1ch Is of advancement are opened up to you each personally. regretm-c your intended departure from the circles where you are known and es- teemed, we cannot help ro~1 m Ir-r With you in the fact that you are both bet- tering your positions in rm twin-:55 world, and while we congratulate yu' on these prospects we feel at the some time that this is only the commence» ment of a new line of Steady advance- ment in business circles. The genu- ine ability you have both shown, the friends which your brotherly spirit and high character are sure to gather round you, and the confidence which which is sure to follow from acquain- tance with your integrity and pleas- ant, cheery manners, can only result in the steady progress upward in the business world which we forete‘ and which we will be so pleased to follow. At this time it is the unanimous wish of this Court that you should not be allowed to depart without some ex- pression of our appreciation of your faithful services during your member- ship, and some token of our regret at the seVering of the pleasant relation- ship existing at all timesbetween you, as officers and members, and the ‘whole membership of this court. In reference to your work in this, the best of all fraternal societies, we have only words of praise. You, Bro. Kelcher, at the present time hold the highest office in the gift of a local displayed since occupying this office has added considerably to the enjoy- ment of our meetings as well as in- creasing the present standing of our organization in this town. You, Bro. Laidley, have been a member of No. 125 for some time, and we have always found it a pleasure to meet together, and although we are being deprived of your association here we trust that you will never lose sight of the benefits to be derived from membership in the C.O.F. In going from our circle you both carry with you the well wishes of our Court, and we would ask you, Bro. Kelcher, to accept this Foresters' ring and you, Bro. Laidley, this Foresters’ pin as a slight token of the outward expression of our appreciation of your services, and may our motto, “Liberty, Benevolence and Concord” be yours throughout the years to come Signed on behalf of Court No. 125, Canadian Order of Foresters.
