Kirchen, 881-0917 197 (Continued from Page 2) with a beautiful chain-driven wall clock; a Vienna wall clock and old mantel clocks. . . . Ziemember when nearly every mantle had the (then) gracefully curved walnut or mahogany clock? He also has an old railway clock . . . with second, minute, and ‘24 hour’ hands. Throughout our conversation I was very conscious of the animated ticking of at least 10 clocks in the shop. And every so often one of the various tuneful chimes would peel off the quarter, half, three-quarters of the hour . . . before the melodious hour chimed itself into history. I asked how the reproduced clocks compared in cost to, say, an antique. John said people usually pay what he charges for an authentic reproduction . . . then have to pay half as much, or more again to have the old clock put in good repair. He has a limited stock on hand right now . . . a lot of customers are buying them for holiday giving. My interview over, and while waiting for The Liberal photographer “Stuart” to arrive on the scene, I decided I’d go for coffee at the local restaurant in the plaza. . . . And of all things John told me he has been in business in Thornhill since 1959. A graduate of the old Henderson Avenue and Thornlea Public Schools (you can see the old school just south of the railway tracks on the west side of Bayview where Allan Martindale was his teacher) and Richmond Hill High School . . . his Dad counselled him into learning a trade. In 1962 he married Carol Lacey of Concord and they have three children, Kelly Ann 6; Andrew 4 and Edward just nine months old. Carol is “The Liberal” correspondent for Concord, where they live. And, oh yes, he has a collection of clocks in his home. “They didn’t have manual shops then, like they do now”, John told me, “so I enrolled in the Provincial School of Trades (now George Brown College), and commuted from Doncaster to To- ronto for three years until graduation in ’57”. He then worked with a Toronto firm for two years. Opening his own shop in Thornhill at the end of that time. While we were chatting, customers were dropping in and out, and one customer proudly picked up his clock â€" which he had made himself, (buying the clockworks from Coles Jewellers) â€" He had just had it cleaned and checked over, after five years of use. I also met Andrus Russ, John’s assistant engraver. slow WCTORMand GREY In The Spotlight VI [/1 U1 [111 and UHDI TRUST COMPANY SINCE 1889 G. A. WAKELIN, MANAGER 121 YONGE ST. N.

ON DEC. 4th 884-1107 Before going to Ottawa last week, I was convinced the nation would face a gen- eral election within three to six months. Now that I have had an opportunity to talk to Members of the three main parties who will make up the Twentyâ€"Ninth Parliament, I believe an election is further away than I originally antici- pated. True. the balance of power in terms of seats between the Liberals and Conserva- tives is extremely delicate. It is interesting to note. for example. that a change of less than twenty votes in two ridings could switch the present one seat edge now held by the Liberals, to the Conservatives. Final re- counts will settle this matter. But, regardless of which party has the greatest num- ber of seats, three prevalent party views will persist. The Liberals are still in a state of shock. They are un- certain as to what they should do, but. as if by in- It May Be Two Years Before Another Election "I’m she ping at Inblaws am ecaqse of the short eckâ€"out hnes!’ SINCLAIR STEVENS REPORTS WARD 6 COUNCILLOR SINCLAIR STEVENS MP YORK SIMCOE stinct. they appear to feel it is best to do nothing for the time being, other than to re- tain power. NDP Members are more relaxed than their Liberal counterparts and are general- ly quite confident that there will be no early election. For example, Max Saltzman, the MP from Waterloo. told me it could be two years be- fore an election. Arnold Peters. the Member from Timiskaming, stated that was overly optimistic, but he felt it could be a year before their is an election. The NDP feel an early election would not benefit them. Now they can play the role of kingmaker in Parliament. On November 5, I was pleased to attend a dedica- tion service at St. Paul's Church at Stroud. Innisfil. During the service, an illumi- nated cross and church flag were dedicated to the mem- ory of Charles Sproule. Vestry furnishings were dedi- More than the price is right. During the service and ‘ afterwards at lunch. I was 1 imoressed with the St. Paul’s young people‘s musical group called “Gift Of Love". They are a ialented group. It was fitting that Brenda Wilson of Stroud. a granddaughter of Mr. Sproule. was soloist. Other members of the group were: Ward Parsons. Pat Wright. Anne Holdcroft. Kim Skilliter, K elly Skilliter. Doug Fralick, Tim Elson. Marlene Tiffin, Susan Johns- ton, Marlene Armstrong. They all live in the Stroud- Inn-lsfil area. cated in memory of Grace Simpkin. The new Bond Lake Arena at Oak Ridges was opened the same day and I was de- lighted that this was the first opening ceremony that I should attend in my MP capacity. Many individuals and groups deserve credit for bringing this arena into reality, but in particular. I feel the Gamble Family deserve special recognition for having donated the ten- acre site upon which the arena has been erected. The Oak Ridges Lions Club, with a comparatively small mem- bership. has been a mainstay in helping to finance the arena. Local sports en- thusiasts will enjoy these facilities for many years. While it is interesting to watch professional sport. for my money .a well played “I went to another super- market one Saturday and stood in a check-out line for twenty-five minutes. When I walked out the door I said. “That’s it.” Trudi App thinks the service is better at Loblaws. ' “Loblaws were advertis- ing service. and though I didn’t really believe it. at that point I was willing to try anything.” “Now I don’t have to wait so long. I don’t know, Loblaws seem to have more staff -“I’d swear they put more people on in the busy times.” amateur game can be much more exciting. Such was the case in Aurora when the Aurora Alcan Bantams de- feated the Hammarby Swed- en Team. Soon after I arriv- ed. the local team fell be‘ hind 6 to 3. It was certain- ly a thriller to watch them fight their way back with four goals. When the win- ning goal was scored by Barry Lumley. the cheers were deafening. While we are on the sub- ject of such sports or other activities. I would remind you that the federal govern- ment's current Local Initia- tive Program is now in pro- greSS. Applications for pro- jects of a non-profit com- munity nature should be made as soon as possible. The deadline is December 31.
