EXPRESS REGRETS
AT INABILITY TO

Former Grads and Teach-
ers Recall Early School
Days in Letters.
•
Second to actually greeting old
friends and former schoolmates at
the< --White School Reunion, was
the reading of letters from those
unable to be present. George
Logic;. nevwspaperrnan of Phoenix,
Arizona, and"sotr of- pioneer min-
ister' :in• -•the se04ion, writes 'char-
acteristically:
"To my Tuckersmith School-
mates of Long Ago_'Dear Friends:
If' I were anywhere within horse -
and -buggy distance i.. would be sure
to, be there with my blue denim
lunch -bag, which in summertime,' I

on the way home. Here's to the
memory of the snowball fights be-
tween the London Roaders and all
the rest. The memory of those
first has no sting, as an iced
snowball often did. Best wishes to
all."
Mr. John Elder, who regretted
missing the picnic, told of attend=,
ing in 1878 and 79 when Matilda
McLaren and Elizabeth Ross were
his teachers, the total enrollment
being 107. Later when No. 10 was
built, receiving some scholars from
both No. 9 and No. 1, Mr. Elder
says: "Judging from what I ex-
perienced and•saw, it was the
rougher element from both schools
which assembled at' No. 10." In
tribute to the pioneer settlers of
English, Scotch and Irish ancestry,
he continues: "What they accom-
plished was simply unbelievable.
Living in such small houses, •most -
l.* log, raising' such large families
with little money and poor roads
probably forced them t.o be the
most economical and hardworking
people this country has ever
seen." He mentions a unique form
of punishment, being made stand
on the top of the big box stove -
in summer, of course. In praise of
this district, Mr. Elder says:
"When the L. H. & B. were buy-
ing their right-of-way, they paid
$20 per acre more for the land
here than to the north . and south
of us," Commenting on the fine
condition of the school, he adds:
"Much credit is due the late John
D. Stewart for this good `No. 1

From Snowflake, Man, comes a
message from another of the old

weather, lots of tun and a splen-
did day all round, renewing old
acquaintances."
Mr. and Mrs, Grant Caldwell, of
Central Butte, Sask., in sending
their regrets, add: "I should Iike
to pay tribute to the memory Of an
outstanding teacher, the late Jas.

body, he had a wonderfully bright

The mayor reported that the
town dump was in very poor con-
dition. Reeve Sills recommended
that the dump be cleaned up by
means of a bull dozer, and a by-
law• passed to regulate dumping. It
was suggested that a caretaker be
hired and as the mayor had sug-
gested a person suitable for the
purpose, it was decided to leave
the matter with him.
