p fletcher and his wife are being warmly remembered by their friends in oshawa where they now reside on the occasion of their golden wedding anniversary unwavering faith in his calling and

wedding anniversary last week dr fletcher has been preaching for 53 years and throughout their 50 years together mrs fletcher has been an ever- ready deputy able to fill a pulpit instruct a class or bring up a family of four boys and a girl while he journeyed far afield in pursuance of his duty xow they have reached the half- century mark together and it would be fitting to quote from the book of leviticus and ye shall hallow the fiftieth year a jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you their moving about is clone and they are happy to be settled according to dr fletcher with the comforting assurance of a job well done in the same township where my wife was born and the same county in which i was born mrs fletcher was the former miss gertrude gadsby daughter of mr and mrs william gadsby who came from manchester england in 1870 and settled in cedar dale mrs fletcher was a pupil at cedar dale school near oshawa which is now cedar dale united church dr fletcher is justly proud of being the fourth generation of his family to be canadian born his parents were mr and mrs william h fletcher of scott township and he related that his grandfather built the first brick house in bow- manville before 1812 he made the bricks on his own farm and the house is still standing and has been converted into apartments dr fletcher attended new market high school and from an early age he saw himself as a minister he laughingly recalled preaching sermons to his sisters my mother fostered the idea he said and although in humble circumstances my parents con trived to send me to queens university from which i graduat ed in 1890 i worked hard and took all sorts of jobs and summer charges and was ordained in 1895 i came to oshawa on july 1 of the same year as pastor of the oshawa christian church now centre street united church his sense of humor came to the surface again as he added the electric railway and i came to gether thats torn up but im still running oshawa was then a community of 5000 population and dr fletcher spent a few moments reminiscing about the old families that he knew mentioning among others the henrys the licks and the guys he stayed in oshawa till 1899 when he went to toronto to establish a christian church there in 1902 dr and mrs fletcher were called to drayton near guelph in wellington county they spent nine years there min istering to the congregations of two churches that were 23 miles apart and many miles they travell ed by horse and buggy or horse and cutter and if was here that mrs fletcher often deputized for her husband the next move was to keswick on lake simcoe where they stayed until 191s when dr fletcher was asked to undertake sunday school work and during the seven years he travelled through every pro vince and 34 of the

ohio the following year 1925 he was called back to oshawa as pastor of the newly named centre street united church what a change was there from the rural community he had known 30 years before oshawa had be come industrialized and the popu lation had grown from a settled 5000 to a floating 25000 followed shortly the grim years of the depression and the fletchers yearned to be in a countrv charge once more in 1931 they moved to odessa from 1939 to 1911 they were in marmora and from 1911 to 1910 in bowman ville in that year dr fletcher retired and completed the circle of his travels by coming

has been strutting around his enclosure at riverdale zoo for 45 years and was a legendary figure in more ways than one to the soldiers of two world wars died over the weekend because the normal life span of a stork is 25 years and bill more than doubled that since his arrival here in 1905 at the age of six dr a j campbell curator of the zoo says as well as being the oldest resident at riverdale bill was one of the oldest storks in the world bill was known as the adjutant of the zoo said dr campbell explaining the birds military back ground right up to the end he was dignified and conceited he reminded many a soldier on leave of an overbearing adjutant back on the parade ground at camp at times he would stop swaggering and appear to be deep in thought as though thinking up some devilment for the troops twentyfour hours after old bill died lizzie in the monkey house gave birth to a male baby guinea baboon already says dr campbell we have christened him young bill he too struts around

good of the community federation aims at setting parity prices by a r armitage rr3 newmarket agriculture contributes its share to the canadian economy and should receive its fair share of our national income all farmers are agreed that farm produce prices in the past have been the last to raise and the first to drop this practice must be stopped how is this to be attained by parity prices farm commodity prices at all times should bear a fair and equal relation to all other commodity prices how can we farmers hope to have parity prices by giving fin ancial support to farm commodity groups and the ontario and dominion federations of agricul ture the objective of the township units of federation is to have in each school section in york county at least one organized farm group to consolidate all township farm groups into one working unit the financial support to come from an assessment of not less than one dollar on each farm or unit produc ing farm produce or by member ship fees the markham township federation unit has adopted the assessment plan of financing whitchurch township has appointed provisional officers and are forming a provisional board of directors a constitution is being drawn up whitchurch has received 5000 expense money from york county federation every unit that appoints a provis ional committee or officers can draw s5000 for expenses east gwillimbury township has a committee that is considering a township unit in federation work there is no set rule the farmers decide how they wish to act the suggestions given have been found effective in forming other units the success or failure of our farm movement depends on the support given by each farm family talk parity prices in your home to neighbors and friends decide how you wish to
