The date was 1840 which makes us realize, I think, that when we talk of developing handicrafts and other works of art now, we are merely trying to regain something we have lost in the last century, or perhaps in the last 40 or 50 years.

Old Wooden Pump Is Pictured

A FRIEND who prefers that I do not reveal his fame, told me about an old wooden pump that was used once in a meat packing establishment on Kent Street.

The location is where the Necchi Sewing Centre is now and I have to thank Jerry Doucette—he’s co-owner with David Young—for showing me “#round.

The pumps—there’ were two of them—were located in the basement of the building. Naturally they were to supply water, as that would be before the days of piped.water, I would imagine, though I have no idea what time it was. I have made enquiries without result: If anyone has any information I would be pleased to receive it.

A picture of one of the old pumps—it is a bit deteriorated— is shown on page 11 of this edition. ay

». ‘Bossy’ Gillis Was Colorful

AN ASSOCIATED Press story said Andrew J. (Bossy) Gillis, a six-time mayor of Newburyport, Massachusetts, was — born in Prince Edward Island, but the Daily News of that city agrees with what Rev. Urban Gillis of Vernon River told me— that Bossy was born in Newburyport, though his father was an Islander. :

The colorful political figure, who died at 69, was a son of Andrew Gillis of Grand River West, Father Gillis tells me.

. The man lost a bid for a seventh term as Mayor in an election a : that was held the day preceding his death on Nov. 4.

The town’s “Daily News’’ was honest in its failure to ad- mire Bossy Gillis, but it said editorially ‘“Without question the itusdial Neotucbbiee qeceoaley sce GAG timc influential Newburyport personality since Lord Timothy - ter.” Who Dextor was does not concern us. ;

But Gillis “‘surpassed Dexter in stature in many ways, partially because of his mercurial nature .. . partially be- cause of the pleasure he received from deflating his enemies... | His-enemies were legion. . . he was a master needler with a | ad

passion for thrusting home wherever it could hurt.” New ! G. E. 11 99 Portable TV

following the death pf Mr. Gillis.

As I have said, “The News’ didn’t like him. Many others shared that view, but Andrew J. ‘‘Bossy” Gillis had enough , People like him to get himself elected as mayor more times

than anyone else in Newburyport history. PERHAPS IT was the shock of his silence that failed’ te win him that seventh term. The silence—the silence was com- ative—was caused no doubt, because of his rapidly failing th, though none knew it except himself. s He first ran for office when the City wouldn’t cut down a - ft tree that blocked the driveway to his service a's pene ae : was |

He served several jail terms. Once it was for libelling a Newburyport judge. Another time he had punched the City’s mayor “right in the nose.” ;

Once the school committee refused to give him a key to the new Newburyport high school. But that didn’t stop Bossy. He climbed through a second-story window’’, the News reported. Once when he was in jail, Frank MacArthur of Charlotte- ! town tells me, Gillis ran the jail laundry and invited the’ people 5 to come down and see him at work. He conducted a campaign for election as mayor from a jail cell back in 1941. He lost on that attempt.

‘Large’ Pork Shipment In 1910

I WAS looking through Jean MacFayden’s scrap book for information on Mary Allison Doull when I came across a note that said Michael Delaney of Albany had shipped the largest shipment of dressed pork ever shipped from Albany station. It consisted of “upwards of two carloads’. The time was Jan. 10, 1910. Jean lives in Summerside.

Fox Film Saturday Evening

A film made on the Island's fox industry will be seen on 5 the CBC farm show, Countrytime, which is aired each week on i Saturday evening at 6.30. Ches Cooper, an Island man who is now with the CBC, played a large part in filming the show. It should be an interesting show. The early days of the fox industry—it’s back on a paying basis again—were really fab-

ulous.
