This was stated at a meeting of the recreation commission last week, a Sr May em 3 Will Brooklin Have Meet Philip Sydney Conibear ES Bi A well known citizen of the town is Philip Sydney "Conibear, usually call- ed Phil by most of his friends. And while you may have seen him, cane in hand each morning, dropping into this store and that, stopping here and there chatting to some friend or ac- quaintance on his way to the -post~ office -- still you do not know much about his background. Well, Phil was born in Chatham on June 22, 1895, where he spent the first 11 years of his life. The family then moved to Dresden where he completed his pri- mary and two years of high schoal. His first job was an apprentice for a photographer with the grand salary of $3.75 per week. This did not leave much after board was paid, so he took another job as messenger for a dress pleating company which raised his salary to $5.60. His first adult job + was with the Russell Hardware where he remained until the outbreak of the First World War. He was one of the first to enlist and went Overseas with the Fifteenth- Battalion where he re- mained until after the war. He was gassed and a prisoner of war in Ger- many for 3 years and 8 months where he was put to work in the salt and potash mines. After the war he was released and returned to Toronto and Russel's Hardware, then took -employment with Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company where he remained for several years. -His experience at Goodyear won for him a 'foreman's job at Selberling Rubber, which he left to become an employce of the Long Branch Board of Education, where he became care- taker of their school. Phil always yearned for a little peace of land of his own. The opportunity came in 1938 when he moved to Coronation Gardens on land set aside by the Gov ernment of Canada for veterans of the First World War, Here he estab- lished a flourishing gladiolus and chicken business with customers in Toronto who took all his output. This was the work he loved and was very 'happy for several years until he had a heart attack with orders from the doctor that he must stop all physical exertion. He then bought his present home in Brooklin in 1948, has a W,V. A. pesnion where he and Mrs. Coni. bear frugally, but happily live.

Martyn New Post Office It looks as if Brooklin may have a new post office in the near future-- of course it has looked this way be- fore, but nothing came of it. How- ever, a few days ago an official from the Postal Department was in town, and he went so far as to call on the Township Council, which was in ses- sion at the tire, in regards to pur- chasing a strip of land for parking at the back of the property they had in mind for the post office. The present post office 'building is adequate for the volume of business, but won't be in a few years. It's lo- cation is quite central but it has no parking facilities, which results in the busy street being continually clutter. ed with parked cars creating a hazar- dous condition. It lacks one very im. portant necessity, which is essential in all homes, stores, factories etc., but which the architect for the Postal Di- vision overlooked in his plans, and also caught the Township building in- spector at the time, napping. There are no wash room facilities in the building for the postmaster, rural route driver, janitor or the three ladles employed in the building, This is al- most an unheard of condition yet it exists.
