ST. JOSEPH and DRYSDALE
AL. FRED DUCHARME, Correspondent
Mr. and Mrs, Avila Ducharm
of the Blue Water south, in
company with Mr. and Mrs. Ray
Hartman and family, of the
Goshen line south, motored to
Detroit on Sunday last. They
were visitors to Mr. and Mrs.
Roy Aldrus and family, of that
city.
Mr, Gerald Geoffroi, of Wal-
kerton, was a Sunday visitor
with his mother and other mem-
bers of his family in St. Joseph.
On this past Monday a.m. the
weather has changed some and
perhaps our long spell of sum-
mer-like weather may be slow-
ly passing away for the present
year. There is still some hope
of a few nice days to greet us
before being caved in for a few
long winter months,
Mr. and Mrs. Vdel Sopha, of
Detroit, spent the week -end
with Mr. and Mrs, Adolph Sop-
. ha of this highway.
On Sunday last a surprise
birthday party was given to
Mrs. Leon Bedard of this high-
way when four of her daughters
and their husbands walked in
to her home. They were, Mr.
and Mrs. George Kuchutt, Kit-
chener, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ry-
der, London, Mr. and Mrs. Mit-
chael Masse, London, Mr. and
Mrs. Lucien Corriveau, Blake,
and one son, r. and Mrs. Percy
Bedard, Drysdale. Sisters, Mr.
and Mrs. Elmer Shirkey, St.
Clair, Michigan, Mr. and Mre.
Anthony Masse, Goderich, Mr.
and Mrs. Rudolph Etue, Sea -
forth, and neighbours, Mr. and
Mrs. Ed. Corriveau and Mr. and
Mrs. Pete Geoffroi. Mrs. Bedard
was very much surprised and
it took some time for her to
realize the meaning of their
presence, it being the occasion
of her 78th birthday. Mrs. Be-
dard received many gifts and
e also many good wishes for more
happy birthdays in the years to
come.
After the surprise was
over they made merry by play-
ing cards and renewing past in-
cidents making the day a cheer-
ful one. Mrs. Bedard was then
told to retire and look on for
the day while the children took
over to prepare a tasty meal
with all the birthday trimm-
ings, Refreshments were served
and in all it was a happy event.
It was late in the evening when
the party broke up, when each
one made preparations to leave
for their homes. Again good
wishes were imparted on Mrs.
Bedard. Mrs. Bedard thanked
them all for their forethought
and for their gifts.
58th Anniversary
On Saturday last the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Duch-
arme of this highway was open
to their children, relatives and
friends, being the occasion of
their 58th anniversary of their
married life. Their children in
the surroundings were present,
Mrs. Theresa Hartman, Zurich,
Mr. and Mrs. Pierre Ducharme
and son, Dashwood, Mr, and
Mrs. Avila Ducharme of the
Blue Water south and Mr. and
Mrs. Tyrus Stansberry and
their son and his wife, all of
Detroit. Other children unable
to be present sent messages of
congratulations and good wish-
es. The Ducharmes are among
the few who are spared to live
so long a married life together.
Well, what is there to it, some
wonders, the longevity of it all
for some, while others are snif-
fed out in the prime of their
married life.
There is not much to offer
to that in the way of comment-
ing, God has his way of deter-

mining one's life and that is
unknown to us, for some they
are given much happiness, oth-
ers accumulate much wealth
which is pleasing to them, oth-
ers posses the gifts of nature
to get by easy in life. For. 1
and my better half we posses
no wealth and no natural gift
that could ease our labour, it
was a struggle all the way.
What we did possess was the
gift of a large family, 13 in
all and 11 survive who all
showed us love and respect,
and to give us a helping hand
in our declining years and for
that we are grateful to God. By
the way we are thankful for the
little trials we had to endure
through life.
That did not weaken our
morality nor did it barr away
from us the desired luxuries to
marr some contentment in life,
and more so regardless of it all
we have been given good hea-
lth so far and many faculties
such as clear minds and pro-
tection of our body members,
thank God our Creator who has
and again for all that we daily
and continues to shower us
with., his most precious gifts.
EARLY ST. JOSEPH
(Continued from last week)
Cantin with his third book
education became famous in
the business world and very
much associated with the most
brilliant minds in our land.
The generation of today would
be much confused with the old
time school books, for there
were no grades at that time. Of
course the present grades to-
day is also confusing to those
of a few generations ago. Nev-
ertheless, we believe it has the
Annual Report Of
Bank of Montreal
r- Local, national and interna-
tional operations of the Bank
of Montreal have added up to
mean the most active 12 mon-
ths in the bank's 144 -year his-
tory, according to John Ban-
nister, manager of the Zurich
B of M.
Releasing the bank's annual
statement covering the - period.
to October 31, he said it show-
ed that the local branch and
some 875 other offices togeth-
er had established new records
in almost every phase.
Resources rose almost half -
a -billion dollars to a new high
of $3,950 million, he said, while
deposits, including Canadians'
personal savings of some $1,749
million, amounted to a record
$3,647 million.
Loans Increased
Loans of all categories — in-
cluding N.H.A. mortgages, farm
and home improvement loans,
call loans, Family Finance Plan
advances and loans to business
and industry — totalled $1,934
million, an increase of 9.08 per
cent over the 1960 figure.
B of M earnings also reached
a new peak at $14,578,817. But
this figure was only realized
after income tax payments of
$18,043,791, the manager said.
The earnings figure was 2.5 per
cent more than a year ago.
Shareholders Now 22,000
Of this amount, the bank's
shareholders, now numbering
some 22,000 are receiving div-
idends of $2.05 per share — a
total of $12,453,750, or $5,590,-
041 less than the income tax
bill.
The manager also reported
that "quick" assets amounted
to $2,042 million, representing
54.56 per cent of liabilities to
the public of $3,742 million,
versus 53.97 per cent last year.
The value of premises is
shown at $63,062,983, an in-
crease of 13.3 per cent over the
1960 figure of $55,661,047, an
indication of the extent of the
bank's building and .moderniza-
tion program in this province
and across the country.

same goal to reach.
Of course not all of Cantins
fame was attributed to his third
book education in the little red
school. Being born in the
year 1870 and on the 7th day
of July, the year has no mean-
ing but the date according to
the old people and that tradi-
tion being brought down for
centuries, one born on July 7,
is crowned with intelligence
and its life matures with natur-
e's most precious treasures.
Look around your community
and you will be convinced that
not too many are born on that
date, there a r e exceptions,
Young Cantin was of a mechan-
ical mind from school days, al-
ways ready to dicker off any-
thing he had. After he quit
school in his early teens he be-
gan the career marked for him.
He started to buy cattle for
cattle buyers in the district
and some times he would ac-
company the buyers to Buffalo,
where cattle were sold, giving
him much experience. At the
same time young Cantin had
opened up a butcher shop on
his afther's farm and once a
week would slaughter one head,
and Joseph Corriveau Sr„ with
his horse drawn vehicle was en-
gaged to peddle the beef in
the back concessions of Hay
Township and Stanley. I too
was engaged, I was hired to
open and close the gates and
my pay was five cents for the
day.
Mr. Cantin was the son of
Pierre and Matilda Cantin, dir-
ect decendant of the early pion-
eers of this Parish and at the
age of 19 years he was married
to Josephine Denomme. She
too was a descendant of the
early settlers. He was married
in 1889 on the 15th day of Oc-
tober by Father Kergan, I be-
lieve, parish priest. Young
Cantin, who had been altar boy,
answered the Mass prayers at
his wedding.
After their marriage the
young couple moved to Buffalo
where young Cantin was em -

ployed by some agency. He
remained in Buffalo for a few
years, then returning to his
home town. He then had a
house built on his fathers farm
which is now owned by Ray-
mond Denomme. After it com-
pletion he took in residence Mr.
and Mrs. Oliver Bissonette,
newly acquaintances, where
they opened a crockery glue
business which they continued
to carry on till the fall of 1896.
They had a steady and profit-
able market for that product.
Much of it went to different
points of Canada and perhaps
to other outlets. When Cantin
had decided to satisfy his am-
bition to build a city after his
patron name, Saint Joseph,
they did not abandon the crock-
ery glue business but that fol-
lowed them to the new called
city and was manufactured
there but on a larger scale and
continued for a few years.
While Cantin had created many
friends with different money
monopolies, whom he had to
meet occasionally, Mrs. Bisson-
ette looked after the glue busi-
ness.
