Correspondent PICKERING -- The municipal election here appears to have fol- lowed closely the same pattern we very little interest. The nomination meeting a week earlier was much the same thing. The lowest attendance in years ang as many noticed not a single past reeve was there -- you could always count on at least a half dozen past reeves being at the nomination meeting. Another feature that will be not- ed in looking over the score board was that poling was much heavier in some of the newly developed areas. The voting in the north end of the township was light. The ballot is a powerful instru- ment and if we do not use it there is none to blame but our- selves on the results.

Correspondent y FAIRPORT BEACH -- Your cor- respondent recently enjoyed a ve pleasant hour with Gordon Attre of Dunfair chapel. In this inter- view, Mr. Attrell asked, "Is it out of date to attend Sunday School?" I think the answer is obvious any Sunday afternoon just before 3 p.m. At that time, all roads leading to : | Dunfair Chapel are crowded with our youngsters, in their "Sunday best', of course, wending their way to the Chapel. Many are accom- ied by older brothers and sis- rs and in many cases, mothers and fathers. They are greeted by Mr. Attrell or Rev, Mornan at the doors and continue into a pleasant hour of worship and religious instruction. Often times these Sunday School lessons are illustrated with colored {antern odes od there always , hap ing of hymns and choruses. Children still love Bible stories and I don't think they are told more beautifully than in Dun- fair Chapel. The attendance at Dunfair chap- el Sunday School has climbed steadily, year by year. From 30 or S80 youngsters, the average class now is over 100. A tangible tribute to the unceasing efforts of those of the Chapel to give religious comfort, instruction and security to our community. As Dunfair Chapel continues to grow, plans are now almost com- pleted to add a new addition to the building. The enlarged structure en completed, will house num- erous classrooms, a hobbycraft room, beginners' room and modern kitchen. The addition will more than double present capacity. When Dunfair Chapel was first built and organized some 18 years ago, and, indeed right up to the present time, it has been wonder- fully supported and assisted in time of need by individuals and busi- ness firms. Your correspondent, through these columns, expresses on be- half of all parents in this area, sincere appreciation to Dunfair Chapel and its executive for their unstinting efforts and wish them continued success in the new ven- ture of adding to the chapel. The regular monthly meeting of the Fairport Beach Ratepayers' Association will be held on Decem- ber 18 at 8.30 p.m. in the Commu- nity Hall. All members were ask- ed to attend. The Entertainment Committee in- Union Head Stays In Jail WINDSOR, Ont. (CP)--Another prison sentence was sustained Fri- day in connection with a block- ade thrown up on Tecumseh road during the Ontario trucking strike last summer. Lawrence Parent, 42, president of the bus drivers' union, will have to serve 10 days in jail. The union was not involved. The crown argued Parent caused a disturbance by ordering the dri: ver of a bus not to get off his route when a policeman was try- ing to get the vehicle moved from the area-of the blockade. Parent was a pedestrian at the time, not acting as president of the union. The defence argued that the dis- turbance was under way before Parent arrived on the scene. BC Liberal Head In Court Trouble VANCOUVER (CP) Arthur Laing leader of the British Col- umbia Liberal party, was arrested here Saturday night and charged with being intoxicated in a public place.

He pointed out that the ordinary citizen was not guilty of disregard of the law, but there were a great many who treated the law lightly and brought it into disregard and disrespect. These were the people, Mr. Phelan suggested, whom we must try to reach. "I believe that the members of the bar can in their own way, do a lot correct this situation, Mr. Phe! added. Mr. Phelan 'expressed th wish that Judge Pritchard would of office. NEW JUDGE INTRODUCED In his address of introduction to Judge Pritchard, Judge Mac- Rae said that he was an old col- lege chum, who graduated the same - year and hung out his shingle that same year as he did. "He even helped to put me over the cliff of matrimony," Judge MacRae said. Then their careers had followed the same pattern, for both had been appointed to the bench, and now he was suc- ceeding him in Ontario county. Judge MacRae had words of Preise and appreciation for the lp and co-operation he had re- ceived from the members of the Bar Association of the county. "I believe that during my term on the bench here I have made friends with every member at one time or another and I certainly count it as being a great privi- lege. His Honor said that he had been kindly treated by the bar of Ontario county and expressed the hope that Judge Pritchard would receive the same treatment. He particularly thanked Dr. Bascom for the constant and able assist- ance he had given him. ADDRESS BY JUDGE PRITCHARD Addressing the gathering, His Honor Judge Pritchard said that his first words must be thanks to Judge McGibbon who had pre- pared the entire program for this important event in his life and had helped him to prepare for it. He thanked Judge MacRae for his kindly introduction. Of Mr. Phelan, who had JF cusly spoken elo- ently and kindly of him, His onor recalled that he had been said that when he learned during owed. He thanked the Rotarians of Leaside who had come down at considerable inconvenience to wit- ness "this event of mixed joy and solemnity."

Busy housewife Audrey Henderson takes her daughter Sandra shopping regularly. She says, "'It helps teach Sandy the value of money." Mrs. Henderson has her own personal account at The Dominion Bank, adds to it systematically. She also opened savings accounts for both the children to teach them the priceless habit of saving. Including the four members of the Hender- son family, depositors with The Dominion Bank number 462,600. At the end of October they had on deposit $478 millions. With the additions John made during 1953, he has one of the busiest garages in town. John now employs 7 men; 3 were added to his staff during 1953 alone. They all agree he's "a real go-getter and a good man to work fbr". Growth was an important part of The Dominion Bank's 1953 story too. With the opening of 13 new branches and expansion in others, 167 ad- ditional people were employed, bringing total personnel to 2,705. Tm a lucky man," John declares. "A nice home with the mors- gage almost paid off --a good car--a growing business--best of all, a fine family. What more could you ask?" The Hendersons now have substantial assets, including savings and government boods -- promising a sound, secure future for the children. 'Like the Hendersons, The Dominion Bank invests in government bonds. The Bank's 1953 statement shows a solid position. Total assets amount to $507 millions with $108 millions in cash. - The Hendersons had u good year in 1953! Typifying Canada's continued growth and pros- perity during 1953 is the story of John Henderson, who runs a garage in a small Canadian city. Like many ambitious Canadian business men, Mr. Henderson's busy work schedule leaves few free hours to spend with his family. "But with a few more good years like 1953," says John, "I hope to be able to relax a little and enjoy the things we're building towards now." With his own Balance Sheet showing such excellent progress, John Henderson is keenly interested in the story that a financial state- ment can tell. Because he is a depositor with The Dominion Bank, he studies its 1953 Statement with special interest, noting that continued service to Canadians like him is Accepy, being rewarded by substantial gains in business for the Bank. John Henderson's garage is one of the fastest growing businesses in town. Early in 1953, when he saw how well his year was shaping up, John enlarged his service facilities with the financial assistance of his local branch of The Dominion Bank. The move paid off with greatly increased business and a nice gain in profits. of; Neceg An interesting, Hlustrated booklet con- taining the Bank's Annual Report and highlights of the Bank's various activi- ties, is available on request.

Mr. Henderson was one of more than 50,000 Canadian individuals and business firms who, during 1953, took ad- vantage of the loan facilities of The Dominion Bank.
