Born at Langstaff, Jim Pear- son was the thlrd son of James Pearson who came to Canada from England on a sailing ship ~â€" a seven weeks voyage â€" and bought a farm on the west side of Yonge St., near the present site of Loblaw’s. He later traded this farm for a larger one at Langstai’f through which Roose- velt Drive now runs. As a youth Jim Pearson sometimes drove Thompson’s four-horse bus be- tween Richmond Hill and Tor- onto. At the age of 18 he, and his cousin George Pearson, went in- to partnership in the retail but- cher business, an important part of which in those days was ped- dling meat about the country by horse and cart. Their first store was a little building which stood near the site of the present post ofiice, later they moved to a shop in the new Francis block. After a few years Mr. Pearson. then sole owner, sold out to Fred Farr and became a drover and wholesale butcher.

Fitzgerald Fresh paint always gives a lift to the main street, and Allan Stephen has been busy giving a rejuvenating coat to his house, known locally as the old Edey place, on the west side of Yonge St. Like many another building in a business section this interesting house is now partly commercialized. A portion of the ground floor is occupied by the Penny-Dot Beauty Salon and through the south windows their clients have a pleasant view across the little glen called Brewery Hollow long years ago. There must be, however, many residents in the district who re- member the old white wood and plaster house when it belonged to the Edey family. A white picket fence ran along the front of the property then and stately locust trees spread their filagreed branches and feathery foliage like sheltering arms. At the back there was a charm- ing hillside garden where Will Edey and his sunbonneted sisters worked among their flowers and small fruits. A little bridge spanned the stream which at- tracted their father to the site, because he liked to fish, and there was a windlass on the six- ty foot, bricked well, with which to draw up buckets of water. From the back verandah .Miss Kate’s parrot frequently called to children passing on their way to the little brick public school at Jane and Eliza Sts. The house, built in 1840, by John Edey, a carpenter builder from near London, England, re- mains a monument to his good workmanship and good taste. Well proportioned, and Gothic Revivial in design. it is consid- ered an excellent example of an early Ontario home and has been photographed and painted by ar- tists, examined and measured by students of architecture. Fea- tures of the interior include a beautiful curving staircase be- tween the first and second floor, differently turned woodwork in each room, and a basement kit- The morning was spent in an educational vein. All those not involved in the canoe trips, sched-‘ uled to start at 1 o'clock, were kept busy with instructions. Those in the canoe trips were busy packing; and cramming in the techniques of canoeing. At Camp J The day started, as usual. with reveille played by Dennis Buck- ingham, with assists from Scout- er. The flag was raised and was followed by tent inspection. It was about this time that Geoffrey Dempster did something he shouldn‘t have. He was es- corted to the lake by about four or five big leaders and was per- suaded to take a dip. Excitement over now. the programme contin- ued with band practice, then breakfast. After tuckshop at 12 noon everyone prepared to leave camp. Alan Fletcher.

The outlet drain in the bath is in the middle instead of at the end and the water taps are on the outside of the tub, close to the floor. When Miss Alice Edey died her remaining sister Miss Jane went in to Toronto to spend the week end with her nephews, and remained for nine years. The house was then sold to Mr. and Mrs. Martin Balfour and Miss Edey made daily trips from Tor- onto on the radial car to dispose of the antique furniture and fam- ily possessions. It was a hard 'and heartbreaking task for a wo- man in her eighties and she died a few weeks later. Mr. and Mrs. Balfour and their son lived in the house for 19 years. Mr. and Mrs. A. L.
