PAGE IO TERRACE BAY NEWS JUNE 27, 1973 DAVE NESBITT RETIREMENT David Nesbitt's retirement from C.P. Rail on June 9th was marked by a family dinner, with other relations and friends calling during the evening to offer congratulations. Mr. Nesbitt began his service with the CPR in March I929, in the local shop, sent out dur- ing the summer as engine watchman for work trains, when the steam locomotives had to be fired - up during nights to keep the steam up to start work early in the morning. In Febru- ary he went on the trainmen's list, but in Ap- ril opted for the firemen, and in December I944 was 'set-up' as engineer in which capacity he retired. Dave was following the footsteps of his fath -er, Edward (Doc) Nesbitt (all Nesbitts are called Doc, in Schreiber - why, no one knows) who entered the CPR service in I902, retiring as engineer in I935. The Nesbitts intend to remain in Schreiber, with forays to other places, visiting and sight-seeing, but retaining their position as popular hosts to their wide circle of visiting relations. In addition the family members in town en- joying the happy occasion, their daughter Mur- iel of Sault Ste. Marie, accompanied by Brent Roberts were here. Among the many telegrams of congratulations received during the evening were ones from Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Sullivan and Mrs. Helene Garmen ~dia, of New York and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Molin- ski of Vancouver. SCHREIBER TOWN TOPICS Sammy Barns, of Northwood, Mass. is enjoy- ing a great reunion with his host, Bob Winters the two men having come to Schreiber to 'firing' on the CPR in I9II; Sammy left, but Bob remained until his retirement. Also, visit -ing Mr. and Mrs. Winters is Miss Eva Bilbe of Ottawa. Mr. and Mrs. Archie McColeman and Albert Verdone are holidaying in Marquette, Mich. Miss Marta Krystia, bride-elect of September Ist, will be honoured at s shower-tea on June 28 from 8 - IO p.m. in the United Church hall. Tony Farthing, Regional library consultant, was in town on Monday to assist the local board in a 'wedding' of books on the shelves, presently vastly over-crowded. The paddlers on the canoe trip to Moosonee were entertained at several dinner parties on their return, regaling their hosts and other friends with tales of their interesting trip - of attempting some miles by sail, of launder- ing and black fly difficulties and, as might be expected, meeting the most unexpected Peop= le in the most unexpected places. CATHOLIC WOMEN'S LEAGUE NEWS Planning well in advance, indeed, at their June meeting, the Schreiber Catholic Women's League, chose November I7 as a tentative date for the Christmas tea and bazaar. It was agreed that a meeting should be held with other Church groups to discuss prices of dinners catered for - the present one being be -low the cost which gives a profit, despite the food donated. Teresa Stortini, read a most appreciative letter, from a family in India which was adopted several years ago by the local League. Mena Ross, church life convener, thanked those who had so faithfully attended the daily recitiation of the Rosary during the month of May. Lorette McParland reported on local events, as seen through the municipal council news. Lucette Chicoine, who presided for the meet- ing, reported the arena and its kitchen facili- ties, have been secured for the C.W.L. Labour Day program, and it was decided to have an ex- ecutive meeting, later, to discuss conveners for the various booths and other attractions. Lil Ukrainec was named to take over as Cultural Life convener for 1973-74. Members wre reminded to continue saving various labels, exchangable for prizes, and give them to Edna Cocks. Congratulations were extended to Norah McGuire, recently elected as first vice-presi- dent of the district council, C€.W.L., and, to Rita McGrath, retiring president of the local C.W.L., for her appointment as Diocesan Christian Family Life Convener. Father F.J. Meyer offered the opening and closing prayer and after a social evening the League recessed for the summer.
