Spring Ready as Toronto Women Defy Daylight Rules
Twenty years ago in The Free Press the talk mixes spring plans with local quirks. Toronto women reportedly clash with men over daylight saving while a wholesale shipper, M P Barry, sold potatoes at 30 cents per day. Rev J C Wilson of Weyburn was elected Presbytery Moderator and sent to the General Assembly. Fifty four Halton County students attended Toronto University last year. Funeral rites marked the passing of J W Easterbrook, a longtime Brookville merchant. Births and obituaries are noted for Doble in Acton, Scott at Gih One, Wren in Toronto, and Lindsay in Ashgrove with local families named.
