The "Gila Farm" The name Gile first appears in the records of Bastard about 1850 when Amos Gile and his family from Vermont took up land in Concession 5, Lots 17 and 18.

The "cmbell Farm " The "Campbell Farm" now owned by Elixir Campbell has been in the family name for four generations. The original home no longer stands, but a new home has been built closer to the road and is the residence of Elmer's mother, Doreen Campbell. Clarence Hutchings' farm has been in the family name over ninety years, having been bought by his grandfather from William Gallagher. Arthur Chant and sons operate the only large dairy farm of the Harlem area. a, Owen FitzGerald, who purchased the Lawrence Chant farm as well as part of the Stanley Gile farm, raises beef cattle.

In early years the patrons numbered about twenty-eight but as the factories in Chantry, Newboyne, Phillipsville and Portland were closed or burned, the number of patrons increased to forty. EIhe patrons took turns in trans- porting the cheese to Portland by a. team of horses and a wagon where it was stored in a warehouse and then shipped by boat to Montreal. As the boats ceased to operate the cheese was shipped by train from the Portland station. In the later years trucks came into Harlem and loaded the cheese at the factory. For many years Truman Gallagher was secretary-treasurer of the Harlem Cheese Factory. Each month he made up the books and paid the patrons by cheque depending on the weight of milk produced and the price per ton. Later milk was tested for butter fat and paid for accordingly.

Clmrchill Christmas, 1949 ' The Judean night hung dark and lone : Where the Shepherds watched by night. When an angel came to still their fears ‘ In a blaze of dazzling light. 'No thousand years have nearly paseed Since that Life, the light of men - The Virgin's child - the Son of God Was born in Bethlehem. A few short years He graced the world -'Ihe finest earth has known - The birds had nests, the foxes dens, But the Son of God - no homeo Traitors came to hear Him speak When justice fled the mind, They crowned His brow with cruel theme When He died for all mankind. With gleaming swords, they hoped to end His life in manhood's bloom; And leave a bleeding piece of clay For the cold and silent tombo No pitying eye looked on the scene No arm reached forth to save On Calvary's cross He passed away And they bore Him to the grave. The birds may leave their sheltered nests, The eagle mourn her mate, A voice keeps calling through the years Aye - calling long and late. The voice that stilled the angry wave When the seas were lashed to foam, The light that came to Bathlehem Is calling "All - come home". Some have spurned the Cross of Christ And they've scoffed at the Virgin's Birth But the light that came to Bethlehem Has spread across the earth. ‘ihough waves roll high on Galilee And break o'er the sands He trod, The light that came to Bethlehem Still points the way to God. The seas may roll and waste away, The mountains sink in dust, - All earthly forms and hopes decay, And tie miser's gold may rust. The earth be wrapped in deepest gloom 'me last bright sunbeam gone, But the light that came to Bethlehem Forever more shines on. ___ . __._........______-a . ~‘:,WAM
