Township Reeve- Succumbs The following appeared in the Aug. 3rd issue of The Enterprise -News of Arthur, Ont„ and will be of interest to many readlens' in this district:— "Leonard Joseph Schmidt, ,Reeve of Arthur Township since January, 1938, su'ccum'bed suddenly on Monday eve- ning in the Louise Marshall Hospital, Mount Forest. Mr, Schmidt had un- dergone a critical stomach operation in the •hospital on Friday last and it was thought that his condition was improving. The news of his ,sudden demise, therefore, came as a great shock to his family and friends and to this section of the county where he was well and favorably known. His funeral took place Thursday from the Church of the Sacred Heart, Ken- ilworth, of which he was a consistent and devoted member, ,to St. Patrick's cemetery, Dublin, Leonard J. Schmidt was born in Arthur Township, a son of John Schmidt and the Yate Mrs. Schmidt, where the greater part of bis life was spent. During the Great War, he heard the country's eel] and enlisted in the Wellington, Battalion. Ht, hater transferred to the naval ser- vice. Returning to civilian life he settled down to the vocation of farm- ing, in ethieh he achieved a gratify- ing degree of success. His 300 -acre farm being one of the finest in Ar- thur Township. He poss'es'sed a de- cided aptitude for public ,life. He serv- ed on the municipal couneal of Arthur Township and in January of 1938 was elected reeve, being re-elected by ac= el -emotion in 1939. The extent to winch his ability was recagniaed at the Wellington County Council was illustrated by the fact that the failed to gain election to the County Roads Committee by oney one vote in Janu- ary fast, a very unusual achievement for a man with only one year of ser- vice to his credit. During the past year. he was mentioned mere than once as a prospective candidate for Parliamentary honors. Certai.nly it seems that by 'his paseirng a pr omile ing causer of public service was sud- denly terminated. He possessed a kindly, genial per§onality and his re- putatdon for honesty and square deal- ing was never questioned. He was well informed on public issues and discharged the duties of his public offices in an efficient 'and impartial' maanner. His death occasioned gen- eral regret throughout this ;section of Wellington. He was ananrled to Miss Loretta Roach of 3'3ublin, at one time a 'Keniliverth teacher, who is left ,to mourn his loss! 04ong with his father, Mr. John Schmidt; five brothers, Fred, Fd2nbntom; Prank, Calgarry; Ed- ward, Buffalo; Jerry and Oscar, Ar- thur Township, sand one sister, Mrs. Duke of Edmiontoit." a )s l 1 a � +1 � t :J 1'1 T4 TP.r'f it e Slum ve a aratetece ;l tr Londa l tl clock Seaeinotbereletf forward with recenirye recent opening of a 'housing estate to provide better bogies for 1,1,000 Per:. sone, the Largest single scheme ever attempted by theA Lpndon County Council. f Since the 1933ve, some 92,000 ebonndoners have n found new homes, and contracts. have been plac- ed to provide for 00 amore people. The Council has y event £6,- 000,000 on slum cl rance. Covering 52 aei and comprising 49 five -storey ;bloeket; the new estate will have cost £1,700,000 when Stnish- ed. The 2,000 new flans will house the population of a tenall town, so a -church, school, children's playground, shops, community center, rea rooms, clinic and administrative of - .fives are all part of the mammoth project. The estate is situated only five miles from the center of London and is served by all terms of trans- port. - Although only .half the scheme is completed,, tenants are already mov- ing into the long, modern blocks, which are separated frons each other by wide garden courts. A typical fiat of the more "luxur- ious" type has four rooms and kit- chen, white -tiled bathroom, and lava- tory. It costs, from 15s. to 18s. a week' inclusive of rates and water. There is a private sun balcony, while cupboards flush with the walls and fireplaces are provided in the ly- ing room and big bedrooms. All rooms are relatively bright and cheerful, The kitchens are designed with special care- Separated froth the liv- ing room by wide; flushwv-ith-the-wall sliding doors they are planned on a labor-saving basis. Well lit by a generous window op- ening off the sun balcony,' they pos- sess everything desired: good cup- board room, ample space for work at the cooker, and hot water on tap for both sink and bath provided by an automatic heater- - A communal laundry saves the housewife from filling her home with steam on wash day. The flats provided have from one to five rooms, and the more simple ones have a pommunn1 instead of a private sun balcony. Tenants like the new flats. The sec- ond housewife to move in said she was delighted with her two -room, new home, and emphasized its great improvement over her odd flat. "The rooms are so bright. and big, and where before we had only a kit- chen and bedroom we now have a living -room as well, so wo don't have to eat and live in the same room. Be- fore we had no bath or lavatory of our own, now we have.
