OId Town Pump
Holds Divevale
Respect
By Alloe Aitken
At ,Bluevaie-on-tire-Maitland, we
pride ourselves on an iusr.ltution
known as' the Town Pump, It
stands on the corner or (Ile rtaia
street, eaeitly accessible to all. The
Town Pump ,has a hisltory.
As a rendezvous, our Town
Punrp could not be better placed.
In the nineties', housewives getting
their morning supply of water,
liked to linger there to discuss
their babies' teeth and the new of
fine neighborhod. At noon bue'tnese
me on their way home trent the
post office with important mail.
stayed long enough around the
Town Pump to exchange ideal' a-
bout markets and the political situa-
tion, At 4 o'clock, gleeful little
lititle boys, let loose from :reboot,
crowded around to quench. their
thirst. In tete evening, lads and
leashes found it convenient to meet
at the Town Pump to arrange fur-
ther meetings. In the quiet nria-
night hour, the sound of the strokes
of 111e old pump handle startled the
clear air, as a belated housenalder
seeured the water for his morning
coffee, or a lovelorn sevain Stilled
the excitement in his breast by
dh'inlcing a cool draught,
If the old primp could talk what
relight not be disclosed of happen.
Ings in the days when the town
was young — days. that few re-
member now. 1t might tell of the
busy Saturday nights, when She
stores were crowded with shoppers
and the young folks strolled up
and down the board walks, glow-
ing with the excitement of big
business once a week; of file quiet
Sabbath days when a whole family
drove to church (in summer in
the big democrat, literally lusted
with chiileir'em; in winter, in 1111e
long weigh, horses pranoing 'o the
sound of the bells) ; of the wed-
ding days. when all the neighbors
were invited to see the eldest
daughter married and "over 100
eat; down to the feast"; of the big
dances held in the Foresters' Hall,
where there was dancing, but not
standing room; of the church tea
meetings, long tables spread with
substantial buns and cooktee and
pies (Ibelore salads were inveitcd),
and a dozen ministers drove pass
the Town Pump to contribute their
famous jokes to a lengthy program
of local Selene. The old Pump irate
its part in every event, and its
ministrations were in constant de-
mand.
A few years ago some of our
summer residents' complained or
the quality of water in the old
well, talking learnedly of germs
and oontaglon. An alarm was
sounded — and a sample of the
water sent for analysis.
In the report received, the
water was faintly conxlemared, For
a time housekeepers' looked aeltance
and farther afield for water. But
gradually, confidence returned —
Bluevale had never had typhoid
or any serious epidemic. Since that
time oil loyalty thas triumphed.
How could t'be Bluevaleebor'n be

spa, far removed from cities,
where there is ample space, the
purest of air, and the sun can
shine in.
So we continue to use the, old
well, and' the oil pump gladly
serves the henusehold and waters

If the food which we est is. to be
paoperly cl'igested and used for the
nutrition of the body, we must
exercise; if the elimination from
bowel an kidney is to be kept in

haps: a good working rule to say
that the normal individual should
exercise to the point of perspira-

some games and spread them
