When a year old he moved with his parents to Hur- ■ on county, Ont., and in 1877 went to Grunday County, Iowa, where he engaged in farming and stockrais­ ing.

From door to door wherever -people are, he goes, people’s most welcome friends — the milk man. No more faithful servant have we than he. Headaches, lame backs and sore’ feet — these are trivial things to the faithful milk man. He has his job his route, his task — and he sticks to it like a Spartan. His rewards are far too meager. None of us can be too ap­ preciative of his efforts. I know that we all take him too much as a mat­ ter of course. Often he has a heavy heart. Often he is bowed down with responsibilities. He- needs our cheer. It cos^s us nothing to give it to him when he smilingly comes to our door. It seems to me to be a good idea this -Christmas to slip a letter to the milk man himself, telling liipi of our appreciation of his services. I am sure he would carry it around with him with pride and take it home to I the loved ones ahd there would be ies and churchmen in the early days of this province. In 1906 Mr. Gardiner and family came to Regina, where he engaged in farming, contracting, and build­ ing. He erected several good houses in Regina. A member of the Presbyterian church he was first elected to the session of Knox church in 1914. At the time of union he stayed with the Continuing Presbyterian church and was named elder of the First Presby- ■ terian church, a position he held at the time’ of his death. Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner donated the present site of the First'Pres­ byterian church and both were ac­ tive workers in the various church societies. Mr. Gardiner was a mem-'' her of the building committee of the church. « NEW YEAR’S DANCE A New Year’s dance with all the frolic and frills that goes with a New Years celebration, will be i nt on in the Exeter Arena on Friday evening, December 30th.
