shop he has worked there for 30 years now and apparently has no intention of quitting this used to be an old stable he said reflectively i did some blacksmith work although i never did much shoeing 1 could see that tractors were coming in mr kirby recalls that he used to work on steelshop tires and when rubber tires became popular he converted many of the older vehicles i never liked working on cars he said this attitude ob viously doesnt come from any lack of ability one corner of mr kirovs shop is occupied by a 50-year- old gas engine which runs as though it were new long canvas

except the chuck every- tool in the shop has been wellused and lovingly cared for i dont like the idea of the airport said mr kirby who stands to be expropriated if the project goes ahead twentyfive years from now things might be entirely different theyll never get their monev out of it of recent years mr kirby has cut back on the amount of work he does one of his specialties is building miniature steam engines the machine he is presently working on is five feet long and two feet high and he expects it will run quite satisfac torily luther kirby however does not restrict his interests to things mechanical at one time he made a few violins they werent very good he said mr kirby was born in 188 and the passing years have failed to diminish his interest in life so happy birthday

contribution three old schools in atha altona and mt zion were purchased by him and made into community centres another school at lemonville was also a gift to the residents perhaps his single largest donation to date was the 50 acres of land for the york- markham hospital 9th line markham mr latcham recalls that he purchased the land some years ago for 100000 but its value is probably much higher

building communitv centres mr latcham told the tribune he is con sidering several possibilities including a project on the port perry waterfront art latcham has no intention of resting on his laurels but is planning even more ambitious projects than he has un dertaken so far im 77 now in ten years ill be 87 and 1 wont be moving around as much he observed even when hes 87 its a safe bet that art
