The housekeeper of a crusty old
bachelor was given to writing volu
minous reports when her employer
was away. As he left for a vacation
he told her, “I want all the news, but
for the love of heaven, be brief!”
Four days later he received this
note from her: “There has been a
flood. Where your house was, the
river is. Respectfully, Bridget.

C.G.I.T. Annual
Vesper Service
WROXETER—Members of the Can
adian Girls in Training held their
vesper service in .the United Church
on Sunday evening with a large con
gregation present. The girls took their
places in the choir. Nancy Newton
and Daisy Gibson Were ushers.
Two anthems were sung by the choir
with Ann Douglas at the piano. Mrs.
Glenn McMichael conducted the ser
vice and was assisted by Mrs. G. L.
Dobson and Mrs. Art Gibson. Two
lovely Christmas trees gave a suitable
setting as the girls, during the reces
sional, lit their candles and stood in
the aisle until the benediction was
said by the minister, Rev. W. J. V.
Buchanan.
Speaker for the service was Mrs.
Gilbert Howes, who told a story en
titled “The White Christmas.” Ber
nice Grainger read the Scripture les
son.
Following the service members and
their mothers were entertained at the
home of Mrs. G. L. Dobson.
The late Mr. Edwards, well-known
here, was a son of Mrs. Edwards and
the late George Edwards of this vil
lage. The article in the press says
Bart’s “warm and
masked a sweetness
found expression in
deeds of service to
No group or association that turned
to him for help was ever refused.
Every Christmas, baskets that went
from church and welfare organiza
tions contained hams, roasts" or tur
keys from Bart with nuts and fruit
tucked in as extras.
His great interest in children was a
moving force in his life and after
his death a small gift from friends
was the beginning of a memorial. His
friends met and decided that a fitting
tribute to Mr. Edwards would be to
establish a fund to equip and main
tain a children’s library in his name.
The library is situated in the House
of Hapyy Ghosts, a house built by Mr.
and Mrs. Neil, of Thornhill, out of
logs taken from a 130-year-old barn.
Over the door of one room a plaque will
bear these words “The Bart Edwards
Memorial Children’s Library.”
