Lady Operates Fire Tower
For the past five years the
fire tower at Waboose, Ontario,
some 190 miles northeast of
Port Arthur has been operated
by a woman, Mrs. Theresa Lin-
and of Nipigon.
Prior to Mrs. Linard taking
over as forest ranger in charge
of this tower, her husband, who
was also employed by Ontario
Hydro, was the tower man at
the same location for a number
of years. When he was trans-
ferred to the hydro station at
Cameron Falls in the middle of
the fire season, Theresa re-
mained at the tower alone. En-
joying the challenge, she fin-
ished the season and the follow-
ing year applied for an obtain-
ed the job as tower man.
Mrs. Linard's life as a for-
est ranger includes being flown
in the 70 odd miles from Arm-
strong to a cabin situated in the
centre of a swamp. To get to
St. Andrew's
Mission Band
The first Mission Band meet-
ing of 1904 was held in St. An-
drew's Presbyterian Church on
1\,londay.
The opening call to worship
was given by Mrs. G. W.
Cruickshank who also introduced
the leaders for this year, Mrs.
G. W. Cruickshank, Mrs. L.
Balser, Mrs. G. Sutcliffe and
Mrs. Orvil Hastings. Several
new members were welcomed
to the Mission Band.
The children joined in sing-
ing the hymn "Tell Me the
Stories of Jesus". Several new
songs will be practised and will
be used during the year.
Kathy Pattison led in the
New Year's prayer. The Scrip-
ture lesson was read by Ronnie
Perrott. The roll call was an-
swered by the children paying
their five cent fees to enroll
for the year.
Stephen Cruickshank and
Jimmie Hastings received the
offering, which was dedicated
by Joanne Stephens.
The groups separated to their
classes where Mrs. Balser told
the juniors a story of a little
Indian girl, by use of puppets.
Mrs. Cruickshank introduced
the seniors to the study book
"The Golden Coin" which is
about India and the mission
work that is done there. Mrs.
Sutcliffe read the first story.
The senior group is asked to
take six religious Christmas
cards to the next meeting.
These will be sent to Formosa.
The classes rejoined for the
closing prayer by Mrs. Balser.
Fringe benefits are usually
extra pay the boss gives you so
he won't have to pay it to the
government, and so you will.
'work requires a hike of 2i miles
through the hush, rain or shine,
1Hours of work are from 0 a.m.
ito 8 p. m. Groceries, dropped
by plane, often land some dis-
tance from the trail, In these
cases she must search for the
drop immediately, as meat and
other foodstuffs cannot be left
any length of time.
With no modern convenien-
ces present, water has to be car
ried by hand and lighting is fur-
nished by an aladdin lamp.
Foodstuffs include mostly can-
ned goods with fresh fruits and
vegetables a luxury,
After five monotonous years
of manning the Waboose tower,
which incidentally is one of the
tallest in the area, this year,
Mrs. Linard was transferred to
the Caribou tower, some 62
miles closer to Armstrong. She
was also promoted to Key Tow-
er Man of the area. —Bush News,
Mrs. Cantelon Was 93 Last Tuesday
Mrs. R. J. Cantelon, 342
Leopold Street, quietly cele-
brated her 93rd birthday at her
home on Tuesday, December
31.
She was formerly Sarah Jane
Casemore, daughter of the late
James Casemore and Jane Cor-
nell, pioneer settlers of Turn -
berry Township in the 1850's.
She was born on their farm on
the B Line, about 1 3/4 miles
northeast of Bluevale. She was
educated in that village and
learned dressmaking, and also
learned to play the organ, an
instrument her father gave her
when she was quite a young
girl.
Her father died in 1909 at
the age of 69 and Mrs. Case -
more passed away in 1937 at
the age of 86.
Sarah Jane married Robert
John Cantelon in 1888. He,
too, was born on the B Line
about a quarter of a mile clos-
er to Bluevale. His parents,
Peter Cantelon and Elizabeth
Richardson, were also pioneers.
Except for a few years in
Western Canada, mostly in
Boissevain and Winnipeg, Mani-
toba,
anitoba, Mrs. Cantelon lived in
the Bluevale district until 1906,
That year they moved to Wing -
ham, taking up residence on
Victoria Street where they liv-
ed for ten years. The family
then moved to Leopold Street
and Mrs. Cantelon has resided
there continuously for 471 years.
She is the oldest person in her
block, both in age and in time
of residency.
Her husband operated a coal
and wood business here from
1910 until the time of his death
in 1921.
Mrs. Cantelon was a Metho-
dist until the United Church was
formed in 1925. She then be-
came an adherent and later a
member of Wingham Baptist
Church, and is the oldest mem-
ber of that congregation.
Three of her four children
are deceased. Gertie died in
1937, Mae in 1942 and Roy in
1959. Her son, Leon, lives
with her.
Mrs. Cantelon was very ac-
tive until the past couple of
years. She did her own house-
keeping, kept a garden, and
went down town to do her week-
ly shopping,
Rest Poinsettia
Plants for Bloom
Next Christmas
Poinsettia, a traditional
Christmas plant, thrives best
with a good light exposure and
a teinperature of about 65 de-
grees F. The flowers of this
plant are inconspicuous, but a
colorful show is provided by the
large scarlet bracts. To pre-
vent the yellowing and dropping
of the bottom leaves horticul-
turalists give the following tips:
Place the plant in a window
where it will receive as much
winter sun as possible. At no
time whould the plants be ex-
posed to draughts.
Over -watering or underwat-
ering can also cause yellowing
and premature dropping of
leaves. Plants may be carried
over to the next year. After
"flowering" rest the plants in a
cool location for 8-10 weeks
and let the soil dry out. Do not
let the stems become dry
enough to cause shrivelling of
the bark. After this rest period
cut the plants back part way,
place in a larger pot and sup-
ply water. They should be ex-
posed to good Light and a temp-
erature of 65-70 degrees F.
These plants can then be grown
for next Christmas.

Goforth Holds Final Meeting
The final meeting of the
year for the Goforth Evening
Auxiliary was held in the church
parlours of the Presbyterian
church with Mrs. Stewart For-
syth taking over the presidency.
Mrs. Ralph Nixon read the
Scripture and Mrs. Douglas
Rathbun gave a meditation en-
titled, "No Room in the Inn".
She asked, "How many of us
took part in the Christmas ser-
vices?" Most people admit be-
ing too busy and that Christmas
is a hectic time. "Christ must
be very lonely at Christmas
time," she stated.
Everyone was pleased with a
duet rendered by two young
guests, Barbara Feagan and
Jane English.
Mrs. Jack Lloyd led in of-
fertory prayer and Mrs. G. Sut-
cliffe recited the poem "The
Story Often Told but Forever
New". Mrs. Feagan led the
group in carol singing, and the
roll call was answered by a
Bible verse giving a promise of
God.
Various reports were heard
with a review of the year's
work by Mrs. Ken McKague.

hortation to live up to the
"meaning of Christ in our lives"
