HILL A resident of Whitby for the past 15 years, Alfred Robert Hill of Whitby died in the Centre County Grey Hospital, Markdale, on Fri. day, May 18. He was 56 years of age. Mr. Hill had been visiting his daughter, Vivian Anne (Mrs. Lloyd Markle), of Markdale. Born in Eng- land, Mr. Hill worked with various Whitby firms since coming here. He was well known and well liked. Also surviving is a son, Alfred James of Brantford, and three daughters in Whitby, Mildred Jean (Mrs. Howard Elliott, 911 Athol Street South; Muriel Doreen and Virginia Mae. Rev. C. A. Hill conducted the funeral service .this afternoon at two o'clock, from tlle W. C., Town and Sons Funeral Home. Burial was at Groveside Cemetery. LEONARD C. RACHER Leonard Carol Racher, a well- known and public-spirited citizen of Whitby, passed away suddenly Sunday morning about eight o'clock at the Oshawa General Hospital, Just shortly after his admittance. He suffered a severe heart attack and was rushed to the hospital in Town's ambulance. The late Mr. Racher had heen a resident of Whitby for nearly four- teen years, coming here from To- ronto where he spent five years. He was born in Utopia, Township of Essa, in Simcoe County, and was the son of the * late Frank and Mary Racher, who were among the early settlers in the township. He received his education there, Mr. Racher was a well-known contrac- tor who had made his contribution to the town's growth in recent years. Mr. Racher's interest in youth and in sports was outstanding. It is perhaps best described by His Worship, Mayor J. W. Elliott, who said yesterday when he heard of Mr. Racher's passing: "With the death of Mr. Racher I feel that I have lost a personal friend, and one whom the young people of this town will not soon forget. Ever since I knew him he took a keen Odd Fellows, Rebekahs Hold Church Parade Just as a dominant feature of Christianity is its steadfastness in helping humanity toward a better life, so the Independent Order of Oddfellows is founded upon the same high purposes, Rev. R. J. Scott reminded his congregation last night at the annual 1.0.OF. and Rebekah Church parade. The order marched tc Whitby United Church, with the Canadian Legion Bugle Band, under the direction of James Wilde, in attendance. "This organization of two million members, more than 100 years old, whose purpose is not to exploit men but is based on the principle of mutual help, is a body of which all Canada may be proud," said the minister. "You are united togethér by the tie of brotherhood. It is a worthy order such ag yours, which seeks to improve and elevate the character of practical Christian du- ties as visiting the sick, relieving the distressed, burying the dead and educating the orphan." Mr. Scott said that the objects of the Order constitute carrying out practical Christianity of a high or- der. Down through the history of Christianity, the outstanding prac titloners were those men such as Kagawa, Schweitzer, Carver and a host of others who exemplified a practical outflowing of brothers hood. However, such good deeds are the flowering of roots which go deeper, gaining their sustenance from Christ Himself who is the source of all good works. "If we will depend on God and place ourselves at the disposal of the Almighty, we will find it possi- ble to achieve remarkable things," said the minister. "When man is most conscious, of the Sovereignty of God, men do the most for their fellowmen. This is a direct conse- quence of emphasis upon the gospel of Christ." During the service, a duet was heard, "Forever With The Lord", by Mrs. William Pringle and Thome as Shortt. Mrs. Vernon Rowe was at the organ. interest in the youth of the town, and could be counted upon to help them whenever an opportunity arose, He placed his machinery at their disposal on many occasions for grading or harrowing of the park or playgounds, and I believe that his last act in this connection was performed ' last Wednesday night when in the rain he drew out some stumps of trees at the ball diamond. Not only did he give his time and machinery but he was al ways ready with a dollar 'when re- quired. He made his car available for taking teams to hockey matches, often driving himself, and no effort was spared for the upbuilding of youth. The people of Whitby, I am sure, primarily those interested in sports for young people, will miss him very much." The deceased leaves to mourn his untimely demise his wife, the former Janette Brown, of Colling- wood; one brother, Lloyd, on the homestead at Utopia, and a sister, Viola (Mrs. Daniel Rainey), of Big Bay Point. Mr. and Mrs. Racher were married 13 years ago last Oc- tober, and in Whitby lived at 127 Palace Street. The funeral service will be held from Town's Funeral Home on Tuesday afternoon, with the service being conducted by the Rev. E. W. McBrien, of Whitby, a "friend and neighbor of the family. Interment will be made in the cemetery at Brougham. Want to buy, sell or trade? -- A classified ad and the deal is made. M. L. ROSS, Road Superintendent, Myrtle Station, Ontario TOWNSHIP OF WHITBY .
