"Service Medal" "Honor Arthur L. Dale" "It was a proud day for Arthur L.C. Dale, former lockmaster at Hog's Back, when he recei ved a medal from the King this morning for his 38 years service on the Rideau Canal. It came as rather a surprise to Mr. Dale, too, who considered that his canal days were officially over. But as A. R. Whittier, superintendent engineer of the Rideau Canal explained , "These things take time." Shortly after 67 year-old Mr. Dale's retirement last September, the Department of Transp or recommended him for the Imperial Service Medal. Permission was duly granted by the King and Mr. Whittier made the presentation at the locks this morning. Onlookers at the presentation included Mrs. Dale, members of the Dale family, and Leslie Watt, the new lockmaster at Hog's Back. Never Tardy during Mr. Dale's entire tenure as an employee of the Rideau Canal he has never been late for work his records shows. That includes the time he worked as lockman at Hartwell Locks .
He started there in 1912 employed then by the old Department of Railways and Canals. In 1924 he went back to Hog's Back as lockmaster. "I'm not sorry that my job is finished now," he told newsmen this morning. But he admitted that he came back to the locks "every day". He lives less than a mile away on the Brockfield Road so the urge to "keep an eye on things" is easy to gratify. But far be it from Mr. Dale to interfere with Lockmaster Watt. He expressed every confidence in Mr. Watt's ability to tend the locks, but he likes to go back and recapture some of the old memories lingering around the grounds. A canal is like a highway and a lockmaster sees a good deal of life passing by.
Mr. Dale was born on a Shawville farm and worked there for his father a few years before moving to Cobalt where he worked in the mines. Later he moved to the mines at Porcupine and Haileybury before beginning his canal career.

Arthur married Margaret Louella Dale in 1905.

?b?"JOHN A. DALE"?/b?
"Mr. John Alexander Dale, who had been ill since last Fall, first with pleurisy, and latterly with lung infection, was released from his sufferings on Thursday evening, February 25th.
The deceased was widely known throughout the county, from a long association with the stock buying business, few dealers having come to these parts, without enlisting the services of John Dale whose long experience in the work and thorough knowledge of the country and its people made him an invaluable man. He is said to have been the first party to make a shipment of cattle from this section.
His remains were laid to rest in the village cemetery on Saturday afternoon, following service in the Methodist church, at which the pastor, Rev. W.S. Lennen officiated. There was a large attendance, many coming from a distance to pay the last tribute of respect to the departed.
The late Mr. Dale is survived by a sorrowing widow, three sons and one daughter, namely: John Wilbur, Fred, Armen and Louella (Mrs. Arthur Dale); also one brother, Robert of this village, and one sister, Mrs. R. Brownlee of Braeside. He was the son of the late John Dale, first mayor of Shawville (& Jane Strutt). He was 56 years of age."
