Boland Local Vandeleur History (By VandeleuK Reporter) We had the pleasure recently of reading a "History of Vandeleur Community" compiled and written by Mrs. F R. Boland of this place, when she was convener of the Dept. of Historical Research in the local branch of the Woman's Institute. The article started with a vivid ac- count of pioneer days in this district and followed with the names, not only of the original pioneers that ap- pear on the "Pioneer's Monument" in the school g:roun<ls but also the succeeding owners of every farm in the section, down to the present time. There have been three shools in the community the log school, the stone school and the present brick building, built in 1896. Forty-three school teachers have taught in the section 7 in the log school, 14 in the stone and 22 n the brick and the his- tory contains a complete list of their names. The church was built in 1869 and rebuilt in 1900 and the names of : '.e ministers, 124 in all are contain- ed in the record also contains were the names of the organists, five in number, the first organ being pur- chased in 1884. The first Sunday School was organized on Mav 7th. 1876 with 160 on the roll, and their is a list of the names of the original officers and teachers, also the names of the pupils in many of the early classes. There is also a description of the activities in connection with the Hall formerly owned by the Forest- ers, now the recently completed Van- deleur Community Hall. (Dther activ- ities past and present are outlined are, store. Blacksmith shop, saw- mills, cemetery, and Communitv Park The History makes interesting reading for anyone who- has ever Been associated with the community and Mrs. Boland is to be commended for her effort. New Snow Removal Machine Operated Here - A new snow removal machine owned by the Department of High- ways was working from Flesherton the first of the week, and is a new- departure for snow removal from the highways. The machine has four large screws situated in a frame on the front of the large truck and these chew into the bante of snow at the sides of the road, working«from the outsides towards th-e centre, chewing up the snow, which is drawn into large fans, which e.xpel the snow 'vith great force is into the fields along the road. The snow remover arrived in town late Saturday after- noon & was the centre of attraction all evening. It commenced operat- ing south of town Sunday morning and many citizens availed themselves of the opporunity of watching it work. It is astonishing to see with what ease it removes the huge banks of snow to a height of over si.x feet and with what speed the roadside is widened. The operators must take care that buildings along the road are not damaged when the snow is blown against them. It is the best snow removal machine to have oper- ated through here yet, and apparently is the answer to the snoov-bank pro- blem in this area. Road Superintend- ent Ernie Bradlev informs us that it ccst over foO,000. A large gasoline engine on the rear of the chassis. v.-:n-ides the tremendous power nec- '-'iavy to drive tHe blades and the ';'Vge blower. Sent Souvenirs Home Mrs. \V. J.
