Relates more Crediton history
By MRS. L. PRESZCATOR
CREDITON
At the monthly meeting of the
Women's Institute held Thursday
evening, December 15. Christ-
mas carols Were sung by the
group at different times through-
out the program.
The roll call was answered
by presenting treats prepared
for shut-ins. Mrs. Ruby Molitor
dealt humorously with the motto
"The tools you acquire are not
so important as what you do with
them" by recounting the fable of
the lark, the trout and the lazy
frog.
Mrs. Ross Haugh introduced
the study of Quebec, comment-
ed on the division of the farm
land, and outlined the govern-
ment and resources of the pro-
vince. Linda Haugh read in
French the Christmas story from
the Gospel of Luke. The entire
group tried its skill in French
by singing the round Frere Ja-
ques. Mary and June Hodgins
rendered in duet "Jesus Ahaton-
hia", a song written by of
Quebec's early settlers, and
"What Child Is This". Mrs. Gor-
don Morlock read a poem on
Jaques Cartier, Mrs. Emmery
Fahrner an article on Canada's
waterways.
Biographies of several im-
AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
By Ann Creech
Christmas is hearing the happy
voices of children as they pre-
pare for a Christmas pageant at
school or Sunday school.
Christmas is, as the song says,
chestnuts roasting on an open
fire and Jack Frost nipping at
your nose.
Christmas is receiving cards
from friends you only hear from
at this time of year, and wonder-
ing if you missed anyone on your
list.
Christmas is decorating a tree
and the outside of your home,
then standing back and admiring
your work.
Christmas is glistening snow
and the sound of sleighbells on
the frosty air, as horses wend
their way through the billows with
their precious cargoes.
Christmas is the smell of tur-
key, cranberries, pudding and all
the other good foods which a
Christmas dinner consists of,
being emitted from the kitchen.
Christmas is writing a letter
to Santa Claus and making sure
that Coke and cookies are left
on a plate for him Christmas
Eve.
Christmas is remembering
those people who aren't as for-
tunate as you and your family.
Christmas is the season for
giving. Giving can be done mon-
etarily by donations to the Sal-
vation Army, Muscular Dy-
strophy, Tuberculosis Fund or
any other worthwhile organ-
ization. Giving of oneself is of
greater benefit to all. Giving of
this nature can take the form of
portant figures in Quebec's hist-
ory were reviewed by Mrs. Leon-
ard Wein, and pictures of the
province shown by Mrs. Molitor.
Linda Haugh gave details on Expo,
"the world in one thousa nd
acres", Mrs. Molitor delighted
the audience by her recital of
Henry Drugnmond's "The Stove-
pipe Hole".
The ladies, who had followed
the course in hat making, model-
led the hats they had designed,
with Mrs, Harvey Hodgins acting
as commentator. Hostesses were
Mrs, R. Haugh, Mrs. R. Molitor,
Mrs, G. Morlock, Mrs. E. Fahr-
ner, Mrs. L. Wein,
LOOKING BACK
In Crediton of seventy-five
years ago there were two wagon
shops. Mr. Wenzel operated one
in the building where also worked
the blacksmith hired by him. The
other was owned by Mr. Tre-
vethick and was in the building
Mr. Hodge has converted into an
apartment. Both wagons and cut-
ters were made. Mr. Wenzel was
renowned for his work in up-
holstery.
A hardware store stood where
Mr. William Smith lives. Mr.
Klumpp had a shoe repair shop
where the home of Mr. Sylvester
visits to shut-ins, preparation
of Christmas Boxes for those
less fortunate than yourself, tele-
phone calls and greetings of cheer
to those who will celeb rate
Christmas alone.
Christmas is the excitement
generated by the presence of
pr sents under the tree, which
culminates in the unwrapping
ceremony that involves all fam-
ilies on Christmas morning.
Christmas is the singing of
carols, be it in Church, in your
home, in a pageant or in a
group of carollers.. ctO Holy
Night", "Ave Maria", "Joy to
the World" and "White Christ-
mas" resound through the crystal
air, involving everyone in the
spirit of Christmas.
The most important part of
Christmas is Christ. This is the
reason I have left this until the
last. Christmas is to be a joyous
celebration of the birth of Christ.
The purpose of Christmas is not
to see how many gifts you can
accumulate; nor is it to please
your voracious appetite.
Let us not forget that Christmas
is Christ's birthday. Christ
offers himself as a help to any-
one who requests it. In the world
of 1966 this is the best Christ-
mas present, as such, that any
of us could ever request.
May I take this opportunity to
wish all of you a very Merry
Christmas and a profitable and
worry-free 1967.
Wuerth now stands. The store
occupied by Mr. Attfield was built
by Chris Beaver, replacing an
earlier one of frame. Mr. Everett
Fahrner and Mr. Lorne Hodge
operated it In turn, following Mr.
Beaver's retirement.
On the south west of Crediton's
main corner is the brick building
used by Harold Glanville as a
residence. John Parsons one of
Crediton's earliest settlers, was
the first owner of the land, and,
so far as Mr. Harry Beaver can
recall, erected the building. He
ran an egg and produce business,
The barn that stood in Miss Lil-
lian Haist's yard and is now be-
ing dismantled by the Marten
Brothers, belonged to Mr. Pars-
ons. In it he stored eggs and
packed pork prior to their being
shipped out in horse-drawn wag-
ons.
Mr. Parson's store was owned
in turn by Mr. Siebert, Sam Brown
and Faist Brothers.
On the north-east corner of
the intersection Jim Clark built
his harness shop. Later it be-
longed to his son Francis and
was used for the telephone ex-
change. Jim's brother Walter
erected the bank building next
door. Between it and Barney
Brown's shoe store (now Free-
man Morlock's) stood Jake Holtz-
man's tailor shop. Originally the
shop was of frame, but that build-
ing was destroyed by fire in Jan-
uary, sixty-three years ago. Mr.
Holtzman replaced it by the brick
structure owned by Mr. Lloyd
England.
Upstairs was an apartment
used by Crediton's bank manager.
Downstairs, at the right was the
tailor shop. From bolts of cloth
one could make a choice and have
an entire suit tailored of sturdy,
woollen material for only $7.50.
On the left was a confectionery
store operated first by Ezra
I"aist, then by Wesley Finkbein-
er. In later years that part of
the building was in turn Dr.
Orme's drug store, an electrical
shop and a barber shop.
Beyond Barney Brown's shoe
store was Jake Eilber's dry goods
store. Later Otto Ewald managed
a butcher shop there. The build-
ing has been torn down, only part
of the rear foundation remaining.
The place of business operated
by Carl Radford was built by the
grandfather of Gerald Zwicker,
and functioned as Z wicker's Gen-
eral Store (complete with mil-
linery department) until it was
sold to Mr. Radford. On the prop-
erty of Mrs. Margaret Clark
stood Mr. Trick's shoe store. It
has been demolished.
Two banks served the area,
The Sovereign Bank occupied the
site of the barber shop, and where
the Jones, MacNaughton ware-
house stands was a drug store
later converted to a branch of
the Merchant Bank.
Mr. Jake Haist was grain buy-
er for the farmers of the district.
The streets and houses were
lit by acetylene gas produced in
a plant at the rear orthe property
of Everett Fahrner, About 1896
an explosion rocked the plant and
the caretaker, Konrad Kuhn, was
badly burned.
