Late Dr. Toole
Mourned by Wide
Circle of Friends
(Port Dover Maple Leaf)
"Det:th dare not claim
A nobler man than he
For nobler teen hath less of blame,
Nor blameless snag hath purer name
Nor purer name hath grander
fame than he."
Citizens of Port Dover were shuck-
ed when on •Saturday last, the news
spread around town of the passing
of one of our most highly esteemed
and well-known citizens. Although
ailing for some time, and with no
hope for recovery, the news was none
the less severe, for during his ten
years residence in Port Dover, Dr,
Tonle Incl made a host of friends,
and he was known to all. The in-
terest taken in his patients and the
skill and los log care with which he
ministered to the sick endeared hint
to all, and, as the Rev. D. Maclnnes
said in his address at the funeral ser-
vice, like the Great Physician, he
went about doing good.
Charles Ambrose Toole was born
at Mount Albert, near Newmarket,
in 1t 59, and was the son of Amos
and Sarah Kay Toole. After com-
pleting his schooling at the Newmar-
ket High School he entered the Trin-
ity Medical College, from which he
graduated in 1886. It is of interest
to note that Trinity' Medical College
amalgamated and because part of the
University of Toronto in 1889. Dr.
Toole, first practiced in the Parry
Sound district, Toronto and Brussels,
and later locating at Selkirk where
he remained about seven years. He
cane to Port Dover about ten years
ago, taking the practice of Dr. Mc-
Kinnon, th hotter taking up R. A. M. ,
C work in France.
During his ten years in Port Dov-
er, deceased has been a valued mem-
ber- of the local Board of Education,
and was chairman of that body for
two years, 1923 and 1924. He was
a member of Erie Lodge, A. F. & A.
M., and also of the Canadian Order
of Foresters, and, too, he was a val-
ued member of Knox Presbyterian
Church was elected an Eider and at
the time of his death held the highest
office attain:;bee by 0 layman, Clerk
of the Session and Representative
Elder. His regular attendance at
the services and the interest display-
ed in his official duties were charac-
teristic of the tlio•ouglivess tel de-
votion shown in hie chosen pral'e.s-
111011, and be was never too busy to
find time to emery out these duties to
the auinutcrt detail.

The funeral took place on Teesd.ay
af�tcrnnon, the cervico beim; held in
Knox 01111011. The brethren of Erie
Lodge, A. F. & A. M., attended in a
body and the pastor, Rev. Donald
Machines, B.TIT., assisted by Rev. D.
J. Cornish, L, Th., officiated.
Dtuillg the service two hymns were
sung, "O God of Bethel," and "Come
ye disconsolate"; also a solo by Mr_.
Donald Machines, "Face to Face." -
There were also appropriate readings
following which Mr. Mein/lee, in
fitting words, paid tribute to the wont
of the late Doctor. IIe based ]lis re-
marks. on the 11th chapter of St.
Matthews Gospel, v. G:
"The blind receive their sight, and
the lam0 walk, the lepers are clean-
sed, and the deaf hear, the dead are
raised up and the poor have the gos-
pel preached to them."
The rela gentleman recalled the
tender picture of John the Baptist in •
• prison; 110 was in sorrow, downcast •
and perplexed and- should not such.
as picture at once reach out and de -
eland leanest? Who is the 0110 who
would Clare to pass by on the other
side? The story tells of men and
women pushing up closer and closer
in their efforts to see and hear the
Master, to whom John had sent his
messengers. We can picture John
the Baptist in prison, with hopes
blasted and dreams seemingly, unreal.
IIe had followed the highest and nob-
lest calling and went about preaching
of the better conditions that were
coming in the world for men and
women, through the efforts of the
One cooling after who was more
worthy; who was bigger and more
powerful than he and who would sit
in judgment, He pictured Him as a
thresher with a great fan in His hand
with which to clean the thresher
floor of the world and the chaff would
bo blown away.
However, this great figure had
come not as a judge, not as a stern
figure to sit in judgment, but as a
Great Physician, going about doing
good; heeling the sick, aiding the
mined, giving sight to the blind;
satisfying the hungry and cleansing
the leper. When John in prison
heard of the wondrous work of bhe
Christ, pie sends his messengers to
see if this was the man—or was there
another? The Great Physician stops
to receive the messengers and after
hearing 'their story diagnosis John's
case: he was sick at heart, and sick
at soul.
The speaker referred to the chang-
ed conditions of the present day
wherein a man devotes six or seven
years to th study of the science of
1 medicine so than he may -become ex-
pert in his work. In olden times the
church and the physician were one
and the same thing and through this
channel God was working great mir-
acles. And He was working as many
ggreat miracles today as ever. We
find the church and the medical pro-
fession working together in close co-
operation and they are still but doing
not two works—but one. And happy
is the man who can work in both
suhe'es; happy the man who can give
his life to the relief of sickness and
suffering, It was not an asy task;
years of study and then the breaking
oar of oneself from their family night
and day and going out into the dark-
ens; of the night to do the grand
week of healing the sick.
And it was providential that we
were today brought together to pay

here on more than one occasion and
is already recognized as an able pul-
pit man. Those who know of Mr.
Robinson's antecedents believe that
the congregation is to be warmly

TO WROXETER BILL TRAIN
Two Largo Taxpayers Put in Coin -
Plaint About Village Reverting,
Toronto, March 2.-- 1'ropu;ed leg-
islation entailing t[le itotorporatiun
or the Viltago of Wroxcte0, io North
Iluron, was withdrawn following an
aelverae vote of the Private Bilis
( ommittne or the Ontario Legislat-
ure. The bill was, introduced origi-
nally, by C. A. Robertson (North
Huron) and yesterday the opposing
faetions representing on one side 68
villagers and on the other the owner
of a mill and one of -the chief rate-
payers of the village appeared before
the committee.
"We all undetstemd the reason of
these applications," commented, At-
torney -General Price. "They want to
take advantage of the Ilydro by re-
verting to the township as well as the
advantage of obtaining lower school
rates. We had one last year from
Daytield which we granted and I un-
derstand they have been having
trouble ever since. I am not saying
that .the villagers should not do this,
bnt they should be careful."
In this particular case the village
has a population of some 300, of
whom 180 were voters, and it was
pointed out that out of these only
08 had signed the petition.
A. B. Armstrong, appearing for
T. G. Hemphill, the ratepayer who
opposed the bill, pointed out that a
number wlio had signed the petition
were now opposed to it. The village
was getting along and paying its way
and there was no reason for the
change. They had issued debentures
to the extent of $8,000 and he could
sec no way in which they could meet
the liabilities if they lost their en-
tity.
"Was a vote of the ratepayers
taken?" asked the attorney -general.
D; was explained that the matter had
conte up after the election and that
only the Council's approval had been
obtained.
The committee decided that the
bill be not reported and it was with-
drawn by the solicitor. Col. Price
advised that a vote be taken and the
matter brought up again next ses-
sion.

two supplied by the C. P. P. and one
by the C.N.R. One car, with cap-
acity for seat>ag one hundred, was
Matti up for a lecture ear and wa
used for the daily afternoon lectures
on all sorts of subjects interesting
to farmers.
Another car fitted up by the Dom-
inion Seed Branch, was well worth
a visit. It had a background of blue
velour, against which was ranged
samples of small sheaves of different
sorts of grain, grasses, clovers, roots,
etc., and colored pictures of other
varieties. The Dept. of Agriculture
is anxious that standard varieties of
grain, roots, etc, should be grown, as
marketing is more satisfactory. New
Brunswick for instance, is growing
carloads of one variety of potatoes,
which find ready market. Turnips
are shipped extensively to the United
States. The turnip which finds the
readiest market is the blue or purple
top. Illustrations also showed the
corn borer in all stages and suggest-
ed treatment. Suggestions for rota
tion crops were shown, also all sorts
of seeds in containers.
The third car, which was full of
interest, had the seed -cleaning mach-
inery, and it was a busy place. The
main machine, the "Clipper," has a
capacity of fifty bushels an hour and
looked as if it were well named, as
it clipped along, sorting out the grain
putting each quality in its right
