NORTHUMBERLAND MEDICAL CENTRE

On Oct. 15, 1962 a meeting was held in Crapaud Hall for the purpose of discussing the possibility of erecting a residence and office combined for a Medical Doctor. The majority being favour- able to this proposition, the following officers were appointed: - President - R.N. Dawsonf Secretary - Douglas MacKinnon; Directors: Jack Leard, Eric Lowther, Norman MacDonald, Barry Dawson, Heber Canfield, George Nicholson, Lloyd Waddell, Kenneth Paynter, and Dr. David Stewart.

The Directors canvassed Crapaud and the surrounding Districts for shareholders, and they came in contact with enough interested people to enable them to go ahead with their project.

Land was purchased from John Simmons, on which a residence and office combined was built, the contractor being Reagh Bagnall. This building is known as "Northumberland Medical Centre". Dr. David Stewart (1962-1968) was the first Doctor, and he was suc- ceeded by Dr. Robert Lund (July 1968 - Nov. 1969).

At the timecflfwriting, the Village is without the service of a resident Doctor, but hopes are entertained for one in the

near future.

GENE'S BARBER SHOP’ AND MAUREEN'S BEAUTY PARLOR

In 1972 Northumberland Medical Centre was sold to Gene Rogerson whose wife operates "Maureen's Beauty Parlor" in what was formerly the Doctor's Office. Gene also operates a Barber shop where he caters to his many customers.

SALON 22

Evelyn Rogerson began her career working with her mother- in-law in Vera's Beauty.Salon. In 1968, Evelyn opened Evelyn's Beauty Salon in her home. In 1979, Fran MacDonald joined her in the business. They operated at that location until 1984. Then expansion forced them to look for other quarters. They rented space at the Medical Centre (1984-1987). Fran then

opened a Salon in Rustico.

In 1987 Evelyn purchased the existing building in which

Salon 22 presently operates. Besides Evelyn, Salon 22 has two full-time operators: Connie MacKinnon and Tammy MacDonald,

both from Crapaud.
