@ev. Robert P. Walker Rector Good Shepherd Father Francis Sneath Celebrates 25 Years Father Sneath, in his days at St. Michael‘s College, was an athlete of high standing, he was an all round sport and carried St. Michâ€" ael‘s colors to glory many times, being the Senior Champion in his final year. The Priest of St. John the Evangelist is a man of keen, solid judgment, he is very interestâ€" imng as he has travelled a great deal and can transmit his experiâ€" ences in an exceedingly vivid manâ€" ner to his listener. It is unusual to meet an individual as friendly and jovial, in his every day life, as is our local Priest in Weston. He has many friends in both Catholic and â€" During the past six years the growth and development of the Parish has been very marked. This can be attributed to his leadership and ability to build. The Church It is almost four years> since Father Sneath came to Weston to take charge of the Parish. He j e from Alliston, and had forâ€" $ly been in Grimsby and Colâ€" amewood. The local priestâ€" was born at St. Catharines, attended St..Michael‘s College and St. Augâ€" ustine‘s Seminary, from thence he graduated as a Priest of the Church in the year 1915.. It is a remarkable fact that he alone surâ€" vives of this class of five members who were ordained 25 years ago in St. Michael‘s Cathedral, Toronto. _ The Rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd is a keen student of human nature, he is always interâ€" ested in the other person‘s viewâ€" point, and is able to adapt himself readily to his surroundings, all of which enable him to better serve his“Ch‘urch,gnd community. Father Francis J. Sneath, Priest ¢ of St. John the Evangelist Church, | Weston, celebrated the twentyâ€" fifth anniversary of his ordination to the Priesthood of the Romanl Catholic Church on Sunday last. In 1934 he was appointed Rector of the Church of the Good Shepâ€" herd and there has laboured since. In 1937 he attended the General Theological Seminary in~New York, where he took past Graduate work in Divinity and Psychology, and reâ€" ceived his Bachelor of Sacred Theology Degree. During his abâ€" sence from Mount Dennis Rev. T. P. Muirhead took the services in Mount Dennis. Before graduating from Trinity in 1928, he spent a year at St. Patrick‘s, Guelph, this is a mission Church of St. George‘s, Guelph. In 1929 this energetic young minister came back to Toronto as Assistant at St. Simon‘s .Church under Rev. F. H. Brewin, M.A, Five years setâ€" vice in this Parish gave him conâ€" tact with human life under one of the most capable Rector‘s in the city of Toronto. This training at St. Patrick‘s and at St. Simon‘s certainly gave Mr. Walker an exâ€" cellent foundation and a real inâ€" sight into human difficulties with which he has coped. _ ; The‘ Rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd is noted for his sense of humour. He can always see the bright and humorous side of life, which serves him well in his Parish, especially when he visits those who are shut in or confined to bed. Under the ~splendid leadership and guidance of Major Watson; Mr. J. Wren, now principal of Humberside Collegiate, Toronto; Bishop Kingston, Dean and Lecâ€" turer at Trinity, and Provost Cosâ€" grave, Mr. Walker progressed rapidly. These men, who are outâ€" standing educationalists transmitâ€" ted to this young man, those high ennobling ideals of life which he has followed and which he displays in hisâ€" every day life around our community. . _ _ Reverend R. P. Walker has durâ€" ing the past six years, become a very familiar figure in the comâ€" munity life of Mount Dennis and surrounding district. It is six years since Mr. Walker came to this community to take over the Recâ€" torship of the Church of the Good Shepherd, from which Rev. A. J. Arthur had retired owing to ill health. This young clergyman, assuming this important suburban charge, came with a strong backâ€" ground that has enabled him to build on the foundation that had been laid by his predecessors. . Reverend Mr. Walker was born in the city of Toronto, and spent his early days at Withrow Public School. He graduated from Riverâ€" dale Collegiate, and entered Trinâ€" ity College to take his University and Theological course. _ _ VOLUME 55, NUMBER 1 LY. 7972 1263 WESTON ROAD Car Repairs on Credit No down paymentâ€"12 months to pay.

Last year, the averâ€" age gain in weight for boy campâ€" ers was four and a half pounds, for girls six pounds. But in camp there is provision for dull days as well as fine ones: table tennis, croquinole, "play actâ€" ing" with improvised costumes and properties; books, a hillbilly orchesâ€" tra. Lots of fun despite the weather. Sometimes there are visits to local movie theatres. Also, there is the occupational therapy, by means of which children are taught to make amusing toys and useful articles, which become their own property. _ & S Fortunately, many of these chilâ€" dren are not debarred from swimâ€" ming, while exercise in the water is particularly beneficial to "polio" victims. Going to and returning from Blue Mountain the children travel by motorbus, except in cases of homes not convenient to bus routes, in which case the tiny camper is picked up by the car of some kindâ€" ly ‘serviceâ€"club driver.

Getting up time is 7.30 a.m. and lights are out by 9 in the evening.

D. Thomson, 55 John: St. A large group of mothers were present to welcome Mrs. Standing, Honorary Field Secâ€" retary for this district also Preâ€" sident of the Toronto Executive Board of Scout Mothers. She gave to all present a most inspiring message, urging that mothers stand behind their boys and in this way make a vital contribution to the War effort. A piano solo by Mrs. Demorest was very greatly enjoyâ€" ed. The outstanding fact gleaned from the annual reports was that twoâ€" hundred had attended the Father and Son banquet which was held on March 8th in Central church schoolroom. Mrs. Newton read a splendid article on "Cubâ€" bing‘" which satisfies a boy‘s hunâ€" ger for fun and adventure, teaches him to be useful and unselfish. ‘"‘The heart of a child is the key to reconstruction".

It is many years since first a bridge spanned the Humber at this point. In the very near future there is to be constructed a modern threeâ€"lane bridge to carry the increasing traffic. Mayor G. S. Harris has followed the leadership of His Majesty King George and Sir Lyman Duff, the acting governor general in calling the people of Weston to their sevâ€" eral churches on Sunday, May 26, that it may be a day "of humble prayer and intercession"! May the boys dying over there know we are seeking the guidance of God and praying for the triumph of right. Mr. McCullagh showed a picture entitled Mr. X. which dealt with the proper answering of the teleâ€" phone and handling of customer‘s calls. The film stressed prompt answering of the instrument, when the bell rings, courtesy at all times, if the party required is not presâ€" ent, the person who answers should try to get the message and pass it on. The speaker wondered how Mr. Sam Totten would carry on his Real Estate business without a telephone, this of course proved a very ~humorous subject, but the reality of the steps that would have to be taken to carry on Real Estate or any other modern busiâ€" ness, without the use of the teleâ€" phone are amazing. It is almost inâ€" conceivable to imagine a business toâ€"day . without the use of. a "phone". The manager of the West Toronâ€" to Branch of the Bell Telephone quoted some statistics which are of interest, there are 412 Central "Great â€" development has been made since that day in 1887, and now the Bell Telephone is equipped to give an excellent service to the people of the country." Canadians To Observe Day of Intercession Mr. McCullagh was introduced by Mr. Sam Totten, and reminded his hearers that this great conveyâ€" ance for the human voice was a Canadian invention. Dr. Alexander Graham Bell was born in Edinborâ€" ough, Scotland, educated in Scotâ€" land and England, taught school in London and in the United States and had a workshop in Brantford, fromâ€" whence the first telephone conversation took place after many unsuccessful attempts and «many disappointments, which were. overâ€" come by this energetic young man. From Paris to Brantford, a disâ€" tance of. about eight miles, over three. score years ago the first voice was transmitted over a wire. This caused great talk and conâ€" jecturing among the people. The old ~Globe carried an article . of which Mr. McCullagh read a clipâ€" ping written in the year 1887, just wondering what the possibilities were for .commercializing this seemingly unbelievable incident of hearing and talking over a distance of eight miles. To the Rotary Club of Weston and Mount Dennis on Thursday evening last came a man who has been associated with the Bell Teleâ€" phone Company for some years, in the person of H. E. McCullagh who is in charge of the West Toronto Branch office of the Bell telephone situated at Keele andâ€" Dundas Streets.

Victor Hugo states in his great book "Les Miserables" that God decided Na%)oleon’s defeat and not any particular engagement of man. Life can be saved and victory assured only as we so engage in a national house cleaning of all that is impure, by imploring Divine aid in a humble, yet complete deâ€" dication of self. Mr. Chas. Richardson thanked the speaker for his talk, remarked on what â€"a different impression can be made on the hearer when there is a kind and courteous voice used over the telephone.
