A review of the list of county wardens shows five "Goulds" among the ranks of the county's top political office. Beginning in 1852 Joseph Gould of Uxbridge became the county's first provisional war- den when the Upper Canada Council decided to create the counties of Peel, York and On- tario. ISAAC GOULD 1883 Before the turn of the cen- tury three other Goulds were to become warden. They included Isaac in 1883, Charles in 1886 and Harvey Gould in 1895, During the past year another Gould has served the county well. Wilfred H. Gould, Reeve of Uxbridge, was born at Ux- bridge in 1902, the great-grand- son of Provisional ' Warden Joseph Gould and nephew to the three other wardens, After attending Uxbridge High Schee!, Wilfred Gould joined the Standard Bank which later merged with the Cenadian Im- perial Bank of Commerce, He then moved to Western Canada where he served the bank for 22 years as accountant. In 1938 he married the for- mer Marion Catt of Theodford, Ont, and moved back to Ux: bridge in 1947 where he worked for the bank until his retire- ment in 1958. Since that time Pupils Offer | Ajax To Mark 4 HARVEY GOULD 1805 he has been working for the bank in Ontario branches as a relieving manager. In 1959 Mr. Gould entered municipal polities and served on the Uxbridge Town Council as councillor for one year before becoming deputy reeve for two years and reeve in 1962. He was also chairman of the Uxbridge Library Board for 15 years and was elected as Dis- trict Deputy Grand Master of the Toronto Masonic Lodge Dis- trict 3, He is also a member of the official board of Trinity United Church in Uxbridge. During 1966-67 he was elected as president of the Association of Ontario Counties. day at a surprise birthday party at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Centre Street Whitby Knights of Columbus, Council 4895, is holding its an- nual New Year's Eve dance at Brock Street Taxi Service WHITBY (Staff) --An adver- tisement on this. page Thursday} may have puzzled some read-| AJAX (Staff) -- The young- ers.

This serv- ice is being provided by a group of enterprising students from Anderson Collegiate and Voca- tional School, Whitby (but it has nothing to do with the school).
