The firm offers an exception ally large range of memorials for families to choose from and it keeps on hand one of the most varied selections of stones avail able. Now over 75 years old, this monument shop was first estab lished by the late Weekes Bro thers, James and William. In 1917 it was purchased by Walter Cunningham, now retired, and Mr. Pryde. To this day it has re mained in the same location al- though extensive renovations have been effected to the build ing. Trend Has Changed Since the days of the Weekes brothers, the trend in monuments has undergone a considerable change. In those days, the most popular memorials were marble headstones which were cut, shap ed and lettered by hand in the local building. Now family monu ments of granite are in vogue with markers for individual graves. These granite stones are shap ed and polished in Sweden, Fin land, United States and Quebec. The lettering and decoration is done at the Exeter plant. Although the hand sculptoring of monuments has been replaced by faster and more efficient me thods of cutting the stone, there still remains a skilled art in the process. A stencil of letters and ornamentation is cut out of a rubber coating over the stone by free hand with a knife. This is done at T. Pryde and Son by a veteran letter-cutter, Frank Whil- smith. Blasting Cuts Stone When the stencil is cut, the stone is placed in a closed cabi net where a blasting machine, powered by a 20 horsepower motor and operated at 100 pounds pressure, fires a stream of ab- rassive through a hose and nozzle against the exposed parts of the stone. This sand-blasting process etches deep lines in the stone. A strong suction system in side the blasting chamber draws off the dust which is created by the pellets of abrasive hitting the stone. Although the operator of the blaster is protected by a fine screen, he also wears a mask and goggles to prevent being injured by the flying abrasive. Bob Wilds operates the blaster. This process of cutting stone is much different from that used when Tom Pryde entered the monument business 51 years ago. He apprenticed to a sculptor in Scotland for five years with, a starting wage of 60 cents a week. All the cutting of the stone was done by mallet and chisel. Mr. Pryde came to Canada in 1910 and worked at various places around the province. In 1913 he moved to London and remained there until 1915 when he joined the Middlesex Battalion and went overseas. Returning home, Mr. Pryde and Walter Cunningham purchased the Weekes business and it was oper ated under the name of Cunning ham and Pryde. In 1927 the firm installed one of the first sand blasters in Western Ontario. Renovated Building Tom Pryde became sole owner of the business in 1941 and, after spending several years in the Royal Canadian Air Force, he renovated the building complete ly in 1947. His son, Jack, who also served in the R.C.A.F. dur ing the war, became a partner in the firm in 1948. He now man ages the business when his father is attending legislature of away on public business. One of the largest monuments erected by the firm in recent years is the large stone between the hew memorial gates at Nairn Cemetery, south of Ailsa Craig. This stone weighs Jouf tons and is placed upon a base which also weighs four. tons. Other large monuments con structed by the firm are the sol diers’ memorials throughout the district, most of which were erected following the first world war. Today the weight of stones used for cemetery memorials ranges from 3 00 pounds to a ton. A travelling crane is needed in the shop to move the stones around. Although epitaphs are seldom seen today, they were quite popu lar at one time, Tom Pryde re calls one verse which was a favorite: “Friends, think of me as you i pass by. ‘ , As you are now, so once was I.; As I am now, so will you be; i Therefore, prepare to follow me.” This epitaph soon lost its rev-1 erence, however, when some wag wrote in chalk on the bottom of the headstoues: “To follow you, I’d be content If I only knew which way you went.” Soap carving—Bruce Wallace 12U, Doug Jermyn.

Special Meeting —Continued from Page 1 would show these to council shortly, he said. Council agreed to continue the construction of the sidewalk from James Street to John along Ed ward. The construction was de layed when the sidewalk ran up to a fence on the property of C. S. MacNaughton, at the corner of John and Edward. Request from the Christian Re form Church for use of the town hall was refused by council, which said it would not rent the hall on Sunday for any purpose or to any religious denomina tion. It has refused the hall for church services on previous occa sions. Return to Eastern Standard Time this Sunday was empha sized. The change will be made early Sunday morning so that all church services will be held on standard time. Gordon Baynham, of Thames Road, waited on council in regard to drainage in his area. Council promised to view the situation. Building permits were granted to Ashley Smith, Main St., for a garage; Aubrey Tennant, Anne St., two-room addition; Gordon Baynham, Thames Road, an addi tion; Victor Kestle, William St., garage; George Swan, William St., garage; Ralph Bailey, two houses on Simcoe St. Hoopers Win —Continued from Page 1 ning finish on grain. There are other gadgets in the building which are used to make the pro duce look its best. Knowing how to put on the right finish is the secret of win ning top prizes, according to Mr. Hooper. It’s taken him 10 years to get as far as he has and he’s still learning more all the time, he says. The Hoopers have been show ing in fairs for 15 years but not always grain and vegetables. For a number of years they exhibited wagon aftd saddle horses but quit this when they found it became a “millionaire’s hobby”. For the past 10 years they have concen trated on produce alone, Their success is demonstrated in the extensive array Of ribbons and prize certificates displayed on the garage wall.- Among their achievements are: Five prizes out of five entries at the International Live Stock Exhibition at Chicago; Seven ehampionships in one year at the Perth County Seed Show; Ontario oat championship in 1952; Second out Of a Class of 38 in the Ottawa Barley Show last year; A consistent average at the Royal Winter Fair of placing in the money for at least two-thirds of their entries, And they’re still after more prizes I Domestic cabbage—Grace McKenzie, Ron Truemner, Brian Sanders, Linda Walper; carrots—Grace McKenzie, Tommy Ellerington, Laverne McCar ter, Kenneth Bender C, Janet Morlock S; table cucumbers — Douglas Braithwaite, Elsie Gosar, Sand r a Walper, Grace McKenzie, Linda Wal per; pickling cucumbers,—Tommy El lerington, Mary Anne Lostell, Marilyn Desjardine 11S, Sandra England 5$, Douglas Lightfoot C; Spanish onions —Arlene Love, Jim Foster 121’, Grace Eagleson IOS, Barbara Moore, Brian Sanders.Hubbard squash — Ron Truemner, Dennis Lamport C,.
