Saturday night to have Reeve Grain
of Turnberry -and Reeve Davidson of
town, interview the Ontario Depart
ment of Highways regarding what ar
rangements could be made' in having
the road from the end of Josephine
Street ' to the Cemetery resurfaced.
Arangements were made to get in
touch with Mr. C. A. Robertson to
make the appointment with the de
partment. " .
Reeve Grain was chosen to occupy
the chair and Mayor Hanna explain
ed that while the machinery was here
would be a good time to have this
work done as it could be carried out
more cheaply at the present time with
the equipment for doing work hejre.
It was estimated, he said, it would
cost about $1800, '
Reeve Grain asked if the road bed
was in fit condition to be resurfaced
and also said it might be possible to
get the county to take over this sec
tion of road. He also explained that
Turnberry estimates for road work
were pretty well used up and it would
not be good policy for the Township
to exceed their estimates except un
der very exceptional circumstances.
Coun. Porter of Turnberry was of
the opinion that the grade at the
Cemetery turn would have to be^ rais
ed if this work were done. He also
said Turnberry road estimates were
practically depleted.
Reeve Davidson said it would be
difficult to get the county to take ov
er this section of road but might be
able to get the engineer to do this
small piece. He agreed with Mayor
Hanna that while the equipment was
here was an ideal time to do -this
work. _ n
Following discussion it was decided
to interview the. Dept, of Highways
as reported in the first paragraph of
this article.
Those present were: Reeve Grain,
Couns. Porter and Wilton, of T^urn-
berry; Mayor Hanna, Reeve David
son, Couns. VanWyck, Wilkinson,
Thomson, Lloyd and Hetherington.

_ black
smith, One of the best-known resi
dents of this district, died Sept. 21st,
at his home in St. Helens after a
short illness. He was born at Car-
low 79 years ago.
On his 14th birthday anniversary
he began his life work of blacksmith
ing. Had he lived until October 3 of
this year he would have finished 64
years as a blacksmith.
He used to recall how on one oc
casion he weht. up on St. Augustine
Church to repair the bell, which had
Worn through the iron pin which held
it. When he twisted it the pin snap
ped and he was left balancing the
500-poun'd bell at a dizzy height.
Help reached him when he was al
most exhausted.
His one regret in later years was
that the trade of blacksmithing was
losing out because those engaged in
it were becoming careless.
“Apprentices are not ‘learning the
trade properly and the 'spreading
elm’ of poetical fame now shades a
gasoline pump instead of a hitch post
or an anvil,” he once said.
Mr. Phillips has had charge oj
blacksmithing shops at Donnybrook,
St. Augustine and St. Helens.
He Was a Conservative in politics.
His Wife predeceased him. Surviv
ing are One daughter, iMiss Myrtle
Phillips, at home; two sons, Herman,
Ashfield, and Dumier, St, Helens;
four sisters, Mrs, Andrew Tok, of
Whitechurch; Mrs, William Humph
rey/ St, Helens; Mrs. James Stein,
Yellowgrass, Sask.; Mrs, Alfred Teb-
butt, Goderich, and two brothers,
Jack, Yellowgrass, Sask., andEzck-
