1! {HE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, August 24, 1961 If he ever had any doubts that some kindly spirit was look- ing after him they were dispell- ed on his way to Canada in 1907. A few days before his ship docked at Halifax on a blustery February day a huge wave washed him and a com- panion overboard. His compan- ion’s body disappeared in the raging seas and was never found. Billy survived. “My foot snagged on a rope tied to the deck," he said. "The wave pick- ed me up, flung me high over the rail toward the briny deep, but thanks to that blessed rope my body was smashed against the steel side of the ship. Readyl hands hauled me back on board, broken face and all." Now, he said, when things even begin to look grim, which isn't often. he has only to run his hand across his face and feel the scars to know that nothing can be so had that mightn't be much worse. By the time the 19-year-old Scot reached Toronto he won- dered whether he had made a wise‘decislon in leaving his _._._ -MJ Ilml_h,, ,, er by Bell Telephone. securedihe a job for Billy with the newlhis company in 1920.

MILLER $00613 SCI/0n Speaking as one who work- ed most of his long life he said he has never had a verbal run-in vgith _a work mate_or superior. “Morley Klnnee of Maple was my supervisor for 25 of my 32 telephone years and we never had a sharp word," he said, add- ing that all-important is one's attitude toward life. He credits his father for his own workable ‘give-and-take philosophy. “In the old land we were very poor," he explained. “Until I came to Canada at 19 probably two pounds of meat in all pass- ed my lips. My diet those years consisted of porridge and milk two times a day. And we work. ed. How we worked! But my father never lost his smile. No- thing could get him down." Billy was born at Kildrummy. Aberdeenshire. and left home‘ for his first farm job the day before he turned 14. By the‘ time he left for Canada he had worked for different farmers. Jemima Raney, his childhood sweetheart, joined him in the‘ ‘new land in 1912, when they? were married. Mrs. Ingram Concord Socials Residents at the west end of Concord were treated to a tech- nicolor spectacular when the house and bam on the farm of Elmwood Acres burned last week. Mr. Raymond Stuart, Southview Drive. who formerly owned the farm arose very early that morning and was sur- prised to find that the early sunrise was his old barn blaz- ing for all it was worth! The next night the house burned. Two other fires in the vicinity occurred at about the same time, one on the Stong farm.

Speaking from experience since we visited them one day, this is tmly a beautiful spot in Haliburton, still unspoiled by the commercial touches to be found in more populated areas. The Bones have the most appropriate cottage name yet. Imagine. if you will, driving for five miles on a good but winding road, never seeing a human being or a single house, let alone a lake! Yet you know you've made all the right turns and followed all the signs, and then all of a sudden there it is, “Trooli Lost,"_ and your first reaction is “Of coursel hat ‘else could they have called it?"

By the many appointments al- ready booked, it would seem their faith has been justified. Gone are the old days of tor- ture madame used to endure to be turned into a "femme fa- tale" with her appointment at the beauty parlor. Upon entering the new Sell- wood Salon, a feeling of ele- gance and relaxation seems to be the key note in the subdued pastel colourings with pink and gold predominating. The white leather chairs. un- der the comfortable pink and gold driers. have a moveable foot rest that lends to easy read- ing or maybe even "forty winks." The quick efficient sty- lin-g done by Barb and Sharon turns this “beauty must” for the ladies into an anticipated pleasure. Assisting Mr. and Mrs. Sell- wood as hostess at the Open House, were Barbara Thacker and Sharon Glacier with Lorna Keast (beauty operator with Sellwood’s Richmond Hill) and Mrs. Eleanor LeCuyer, an inter- ested friend and customer from the Hill. While the majority of the guests were ladies, some of the husbands took this opportunity to have a look at where their wives would no doubt be putting in considerable time in the near future.
