Last week, John Birch, of Nipissing Junction, near North Bay, celebrated the 107th anniversary of his birth. He is one of the oldest men in Canada, and propabaly the very oldest able to do an ordinary day‘s work. A couple of years ago The Advance had special reference to this gentleman, who, himself, would perhaps admit that he is no longer young.

Fearing that in the interim the old gentleman might have passed to the great beyond, they searched the farm. There were many signs of life, his big collie dog one of them. But there was no trace of Mr. Birth. Enâ€" quiries at the home of a neighbour reâ€" vealed that he had departed suddenly three days ago for the home of his daughter, Mrs. Morrissey, who lives about four miles away from the Birch homestead. "He was carrying a suitcase and he told me he was going to visit his daughâ€" ter,‘ volunteered this neighbour. "Yes," said Mrs. Morrissey, "he came here some days ago," having walked the four miles along the North Bayâ€"Toronto highway. He carried his grip containing all his personal belongâ€" ings. He had a little tiff with his son and decided to come here. He can stay here as long as he wants but I know he‘ll change his mind soon as he has often done so in the past, and sudâ€" denly start for home again." “Yés, he‘s very active.

"How old am I?" he repeated. ‘"Why I‘m not old. Look," he suggested, opening his mouth very wide, "I still have all my teeth." This is his annual joke with the press, never varied. "I have kept this secret a long time," he continued, "but perhaps there‘s no harm in letting you in on it. The reaâ€" son I have lived so long is because God likes me and the devil is afraid of me. When the Lord finds a place for me he will take me." And again that anâ€" cient frame was convulsed with laughâ€" tone in which Mrs. Morrissey said this, she takes considérable pride in her ability as a baker. "The reported looked. Then looked again, but could discern no teeth, whereat the old gentleman burst into uprogrious laughter, as he always does, his deep baritone voice booming in such volume that it was probably heard on the next concession. The joke was on the man who expected to find teeth in the mouth of one who had reached the age of 107. pile "Just a little peeved, the reporter proâ€" ceeded with the interview. "Do you drink?" he asked. "I see you still stick to the old pipe, said the reporter. "Well I‘m not so supple as I used to be, but you saw that big pile of wood in my yard. Well I cut and split all that. There is easily a cord in that "Mr. Birch cupped his hand to his ear and replied "What‘s that?" The question was repeated. "Sure I drink," he replied, his reâ€" markably clear blue eyes twinkling with merriment, but I don‘t drink anything stronger than, and nothing weaker than tea." "There was a time when he liked something stronger though," interjected his daughter. ‘"When he was younger he was one of the liveliest and best dancers in the North." "Smoke my pipe all day long, can‘t get enough tobacco to keep me going, laughed Mr. Birch. "Never,‘ was the reply in a tone that indicated that he never would. "Ever try cigarettes?" as the interâ€" viewer took a deep inhale from a coffin 18 and ~"Shareholders of Bigdood Consoliâ€" . ‘dated Mines, Ltd., received yesterday copies of the company‘s annual report | to Dec. 31, 1928, and of a supplementary | report dated May i4 last.

On one side of the road is the substantial brick home and barn of Adam Rirch, his son, and directly opposite on the other side of the road is the old homestead on which John Birch settled when he came to Nipissing from Pembroke and on which he has lived ever since. The homeâ€" stead is worked by his other son, Josâ€" eph. Although 107 years of age, John Birch still possesses the spirit of inâ€" dustry that drove him through the task of hewing a home for himself and family out of the Nipissing bush and he may be seen any day hoisting a couple of pails of water and stepping away with them livelier. than lots of youth of 20. He says himself that his only affiction is deafness in one ear which was left him as a heritage of a bad attack of the flu. "One of Mr. Birch‘s most vivid memâ€" ories are some of the scenes in the Crimean War of which he is a veteran. Two of his brothers lost their lives on the battlefield beside him, one of them being actually put out of torture before his very eyes. With startling vividâ€" ness the old man is able to describe the scene as he and his brothers were on the battlefield strewn with dead and dying. He is also a veteran of the Francoâ€"Prussian war and of another war of which he is unable to remember the name, but scenes in which he reâ€" calls with astonishing celerity. "In 1866 with his wife and three children he sought freedom of air and happiness in the new land of which he had heard. He landed at Pembroke, Ontario, where he engaged in farming for over twenty years. "~"HMe asked the newspaper man to note particularly that it was at Pemâ€" broke that he took the oath of alleâ€" giance to the British flag. About the year 1890, he came to Nipissing and took up the farm where is still lives. "The only illness from which John Birch has ever suffered was a severe attack of influenza which kept him confined to bed for three months in 1922. Even at his advanced age hi iron constitution conquered the diseas and he recover fully with the excepâ€" tion that he was left partly deaf. A source of anxiety with him is the conâ€" dition of his eyesight which he fears is failing. In view of the fact that it has been maintained for more than a century without the aid of spectacles of any kind and is still fairly gependâ€" able, he may still consider that comâ€" pared with the majority of glimmers these days, his eyes owe him little if anything in point of service." tuff and arked by | * crossing ::: lian Naâ€" | * e side of | ck home | ‘*¢ son, and .:. t side of| on which .i. came to 3. on which | 4 e homeâ€"| it son, Josâ€" | 4 © . % #4 #+ ge, John | 3 it of inâ€"| 4 ugh the | i3 nself and °§' ush and | % oisting aA °§: stepping «e 1 lots of | *f that his .:. one .ear | *¢ tage of a | .:. |€ vid memâ€" | 4 s in the | it . veteran. | 4 ‘ lives on | 3 : of them | 4 re before | t For Sure Results Try Our Want Ad.
