In the cor- ner of his lawn was a small mound surrounded by a picket fence which marked the bury- ing place of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Minette (before a central burying place was set aside, it was customary to inter the dead on one’s own property).

Now retired, he made gov- ernment sponsored trips to the Arctic for 12 years to provide Eskimos with dental care. He claims he charts the ruin of the Eskimo by counting the cavities in their teeth. "No enthusiastic dentist could haVe made a living there a dozen years ago,” he reports. "When I first visited Igoogavic on the northeast corner of Hudson Bay a dozen years ago,‘ there was an Eskimo population of some 200 â€" and just six cavities in the lot. When I re- turned in 1960 the first mouth ‘ I opened contained 12 cavities." Soft drinks, candy bars and government handouts have made the Eskimos inhabitants of one vast relief camp, he charged. the first death In the area Mr. Stegman surveyed and laid out the Township of Whit- church, completing the task in in 1802. He also surveyed a large portion of the new capital, York, and was the first man authorized by the government to examine and report on the condition of Yonge Street. Yonge Street was first laid out in 1794 by Surveyor Jones, who had married Tuh-ben-an- nee-quay. daughter of Indian‘ Chief Wasnbanosay. The fol- lowing anecdote was told to Mr. Harrison by Rev. Peter Jones, \son of Surveyor Jones. When the surveyor was try- ing to get the bearings of the Holland River to which it was intended Yonge Street should run, he took his stand with his instrument on the shores of Lake Simcoe. By his side stood Chief Wasnbanosay, curiously observing every move. The ob- ject of the compass was ex- plained and the chief at once took hold of the instrument, adjusted it and said that was the direction. It was after- wards discovered that he had come within eight rods of the desired terminus. TURN SPARE ROOM INTO SPARE CASH BY USING LIBERAL CLASSIFIEDS Later the Queen’s Rangers cut the road through and early land grants carried the prov- ision that the settler would clear the land in front of his lot to the midway point of the road. Rambling Around were born in China. In 1926, trouble began to brew in China and the position of the missionaries became shaky. Mr- Veals tells of several incidents which show that the future in China became uncertain especially for the Christian missionaries. His first furlough was In 1926, and his second in 1936. At the end of the sec- ond furlough, the Veals sailed back to China to find that conditions were much worse as the Jap- anese were bombing Shanghai. - At the end of 1938, the bombing began in the City of Chungking. The Canadian mission school in Chengtu was not in such great danger but the siren warnings continually interfered with studies and the missionaries, worried about their children, sent them to a country town where Mr. Veals was in charge of the mission work. A In 1943, it was decided that the board could no longer keep the Canadian mission school operating in China due to a pegged exchange and runaway in- flation in that country. So the teachers and their charges were sent to a mission school in Northern India. Six months later, Mr. and Mrs. Veals, again on furlough, flew over the Himalayas to India to pick up their children. From there they proceeded to Agra and then to Neemuch to await a call from Bombay to take passage. This was a very memor- able trip according to Mr. Veals. They sailed on an American military transport which had on board a great variety of passengers. On the passenger list were three hundred missionaries and other civilians, wounded and sick soldiers, and several hundred Italian prisoners from Ethiopia. The prisoners were taken off at Melbourne, Australia to spend time there until the end of the war and in their place, the ship was boarded by three hundred fine looking young Australian_airme_n on. the ‘way .to ‘Engl-and In 1945, at the end of his third furlough, Mr. Veals returned to China, leaving his wife and daugh- ters in Toronto. Marion was to attend Victoria College and Katherine was to train at a business school. He returned to Canada in 1949 to see his family, a visit which included the launching of car- eers for both daughters. vvnv A-v‘. Riv--. v..." Mr. and Mrs. Veals returned to Chengtu alone. Shortly after their arrival which was just one month before the Communists took over, they were told that they and other missionaries could not travel anywhere outside of Chengtu without permission. They had a good many dealings with the Com- munists and this was done through a section of the police department assigned to deal with foreigners. Finally, Mr. and Mrs. Veals applied to go home to Canada in 1951. Mr. Veals recalls that a fellow missionary said to him as they prepared to go. “Thirty-two years have I served here and now I must sneak out like a thief in the night.” “I suppose,” commented Mr. Veals, “there may have been some in the home church who considered keeping the mission as a waste of money and an unnecessary venture especially in view of the Communist occupation, but I definitely disagree. In the first place it did have a definite influence on the Chinese church. Besides the Chinese we served were our friends and I really believe we had some effect on the Communists themselves, and we learned much from our experienceswith them.” I . 1, _AJ lllubll ;1\uu vuu warn“ -.......

At home now in his native country of Canada, Mr. Veals took a charge at Beachburg, sixteen miles from Pembroke. He served this church eight years before he finally retired. Following that, he received an invitation from the Thornhill United Church to come as assistant minister to the Rev. Hugh Robert MacDonald who has since been called to Port Arthur. Mr. Veals spent two happy and productive years with Mr. MacDonald and two more satisfying years with the present minister, the Rev. A. I. Hig- gins. Mr. and Mrs. Veals now make their home at 83 Highland Park. His main work was visitation, but he also as- sisted in the regular church services and took charge on holiday occasions. His greatest thrill was to make friends and acquaintanCes among the many new families who were constantly moving into the fast- growing area around Thornhill. ,,______._a.:.._ «nun. olmovn gauwuig aLca nsvuuu ...-.y-_-_ Members of the congregation were always pleased to receive a visit from such a friendly and dedicated minister. His talk was pleasant and he was an attentive listener. Unfortunately, due to failing health, Mr. Veals was forced to resign at the end of 1964 as assistant minister. He mentions in his book that it was quite a shock to suddenly have to retire, but he is now happy and grateful for the good health and for all his varied experiences while employed in His service during his three score years and ten. This autobiography will interest those who ap- preciate a first hand story of the trials and re- wards of a missionary. It will help all of us to understand the magnitude of the task in keeping the Gospel alive in China during these troubled times. It will appeal to young people because of the spirit of adventure and challenge that is maintained throughout the story. This book is not only a tale of adventure but a. revelation of character, of a tremendous will and a mighty spiritual effort to accomplish something of real value by a man who has already given the most of his life in the service of the Master. The style of this life story is simple, yet it is this uncomplicated view of his own life that reveals the author to be a man with a great spirit and great heart. To those who have enjoyed his ministry and friendship it will come as a confirmation of some- thing they have known all along. Note: Copies may be obtained hill United Church.
