stouff ville ontario thursday july 14th 1938 dr walter a sangster was tha thirteenth new face to ever grace the reeveship of stouff- ville in his early forties he stepped into this office in 1906 and gave it up after only one term however this did not mean that the genial and popular physician was too busy with his expensive medical practice to give thought to the affairs of the village- the fact is that in office or out he was a team work er all the time and any and every project that had an element of help for the village found dr sangster behind it with all his bursting energy and with his financial aid too thus it was that he worked laborously for the water works when his help was so badly needed to bolster the scheme back in 1897 on giving up the reeveship after one year he served again on the council when r p coul- son was reeve from 1907 to 1912 then in 1913 he took the reeveship again and carried on in the office four years resign ing in favor of j h ratcliff at the end of that time- the fact was that while dr sangster played such a promin ent part in shaping the policy of the municipal course of the vill age he never sought office he even shunned it and so long as a reeve was progressive and showed wisdom dr sangster dr w a sangster photo by w a sanders specials for this week standard no sieve peas 3 for 25c aylem choice white or golden bantam corn 3 for 25c

tended a very touching resolu tion of condolence on the death of his wife- the council went iu for building sidewalks in 1906 dr walter sangster was born in uxbridge township about two and a half miles north of town his parents having moved there from toronto around 1839 thus the family has been here for just a century the original sangsters were not farmers but basket makers or reedworkers and some of their handicraft we are told is still in possession of the family in those early days the district north was adapted to willow growing used in this trade robert sangster and his wife must have been proud of their boys seven sons four of them going through for the professions there were also three daughters now all gone and living are four of the bro thers frank and dr walter of

carries on an extensive practice besides unlimited time given to his home town he has given liberally of his financial means a few years ago he donated to the town several acres of land adjoining the park and today a soft ball diamond is in use on the additional premises never a petition for help to the village or to anyone in need passed by this citizen whose whole-heart- choose alfalfa seed carefully was not willing to give him battle his natural keenness for the welfare of the village forced him into office the years he did serve evidence of this was apparent when in 1906 he laid the plan and campaigned for a tarvia road through the village he fought hard and met with much opposition by those who were content to struggle along under the conditions which ex isted having felt assured the job would be finished he with- di the reeveship and mr coulson who followed him had the honor of being reeve when the actual work was done- edness is well known to all that road cost 6700 and served a useful purpose for 25 years when the present fine structure was built in 1930 dr sangster fought hard for the improve ment a citizen said to us the other day that they could recall no man who had served the village for so many years or for any time at all with such unselfish devotion there was never any sinister motive for his work his only ambition was that stouffville should progress
