Newspaper is the Tribune and is suspected to be from Stouffville, Ontario. Vol. 63, No. 41 Ed Wurm Passes Thirtieth Milestone With CNR Express In October, 1952, Mr. Ed Wurm, jovial Markham resident, passed a thirty year milestone as the dependable C.N.R. Express Agent in the village. Born in Zurich, Ont., some forty miles west of London in Huron County 75 years ago, Mr. Wurm journeyed north where he was employed on the Algoma Central Railroad as engineer and fireman in the Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury districts. He also worked for two years on the Pacific Coast. Mr. Wurm came to Markham in 1922 and was appointed to the express agency shortly after his arrival, a position which he has held ever since. Although the mail and freight arrives in much larger quantities now than it did a number of years ago the weather and road conditions are very much different. Back in the 1920's Mr. Wurm distributed the express by horse and wagon through giant snow drifts and sub zero temperatures but never once did he turn back because of the weather. The trains were often very late and Mr. Wurm recalls the day when the regular evening passenger became bogged down in snow and didn't arrive until four o'clock the following morning. The genial expressman has failed to be on the job on but one occasion and that was due to sickness. Mr. Wurm still retains his position as bailiff but has since dropped all connections with the division court of York County. The well-known Markham resident claims that in all his personal dealing with people, 95% are quite co-operative. Mr. Wurm was connected with court work for over twenty years. Mr. Wurm is an energetic sportsman and is known both in the Markham and Stouffville districts for his lawn bowling skill. Mr. Wurm receives his greatest enjoyment when bowling against his arch rival, Mr. Fred Button of Stouffville. The Markham sports enthusiast pays high tribute to Mr. Button for his bowling sportsmanship. In Mr. Wurm's own words he claims that Mr. Button is not only a great winner but better still a fine loser. The 75 year old Markham citizen has been a member of the Markham Bowling Club for the past thirty-five years and in that time has captured a number of trophies and awards. Besides many local prizes Mr. Wurm bowled with a number of championship groups. He aided his team in winning the McKenzie King trophy emblematic of the York County District Championship in three successive years and also won the Unionville Business Men's Club award in three straight years. Some of the Markham bowlers who have matched their skill with Mr. Wurm during the past twenty-five and thirty years are Mr. John Burns, Mr. Max Reesor and Mr. Peter Stewart. Although at the present time Mr. Wurm spends the greater part of his leisure summer hours on the bowling green during his younger days he was an active baseball players. His home town of Zurich walked off with the hardball championship against such strong opposition as Woodstock and Stratford. Mr. Wurm adapted himself to every position on the club with the exception of the outfield. Mr. Wurm has one daughter, Mrs. Tom Hastings who resides on the seventh concession of Markham. Although Mr. Wurm resides in the village during the week he usually takes his weekly jaunt out to his daughter's farm on Sunday. Mr. Edward Wurm of Markham has gained down though the years, the reputation of being everybody's friend whether engaged in an exciting tournament at the bowling green or just discussing the bygone days with a friend on the street corner. The Tribune pays tribute to Mr. Wurm and hopes that he may enjoy many more years of good health and happiness.	Wurm, Edmund Daniel (I05902)
