CONGRATULATIONS PARIS *Over the lst of July week- end the town of Paris Ot celebrated' its centennial, and we mean celebrated. A planned program of activities began Saturday, June 30 and lasted ta Wednesday, Juhy 4. This week we have been reading the big 58 page centennial isu of the Paris Star which Mr. J. P. Pickell, publisher and editor got out for the occasion, and we cannat find adequate words of praise. It is a wonderful issue, full of the histary of the tawn, its churches and organizations, il- lustrated with splendid old time photographs and a few modern unes ta mark 1956. Even ahi the ads bear aId fashioned cu's (pictures), and a whole page with photographs is devoted ta the old bouses of Paris, describ- ed in a most interesting article by Kay Tew Marshall. Manv people have contributed arti- cles ta make this centennial is- sue an outstanding one on al points, and a record of th2 town's hundred years whicn will be treasured far into its second century. In addition ta this, a book on the bistary of Paris. "At The Forks of the Grand" by Donald Smith was published. ith the tawn counicil thinking it im- portant enough ta underwrite the expenses of production.! Bowmanvile-please take note of that. This book bas beeii highly praîsed by Mi-. Pickehl; also in the editorial columnns of The Peterborough Examiner, end by ahh others who have read it. We are at present awaiting aur copy with ke'en anticipation. The Paris centennial program Is full of ideas whicb appear ta us ta he goad ones. Tbey mas' be found in this centennial issiu'E of the Paris Star for those who are interested. Isn't it time that Bowmanvi]le was busy coilect- ing data of ail sorts on this im- portant subject? Anyone whoi thinks a bang-up centennial with ail the proper trimminga is whipped up in a few months should ask the commîttee who has engineered one. And that book, wvhich may well take top) place in local histories frovm what we hear, wasn't written in a few months or even a year. It took years of research, check- ing, re-cbecking, and writing before it was ready ta be illus- trated and printed - which takes time too as anyone in th? publishing field knows. Congra- tulations, Paris, on a marvelous job ail round. WROUGHT ]MON RAG Last Wednesday night w heard a portion of the first jaz concert from Stratford by ra dia, ovei- CBC Wednesda Nigbt program. It had impac and rhythm and a lot of atbe tbings, and the audience8 Stratford oved it. Thaugh th fi-st nigbt doesn't mean every thing, we don't tbink therei much doubt that the jazz con certs wilh be welh attendeý even if onhy out of curiasity. But there ai-e many jazz fan and fanatics, and also a gi-e many other peophe like our selves perhaps, who ike goo jazz and also goad chassicai mu sic. The people appearinga Stratford are tops in their field and deservedhy. This isn't naisi (we hear s0 much discordan bowling and yowling on tbe rn dia these days that many of th« uninitiated tbink ail popuhW music is like this); this i rhythm and talented impravi satian. Earhy jazz is having vague again, the Dixielaw kind, and it is fun to listen to It makes you want ta danc, taa, which is wbat gaod jaz, sbould do. Yes sur, Wilbur dc Paris and bis New Orleans or.

EXCHANGE TOURS Plans are being laid for U.S. and Canadian excbange tours among people of Pennsylvania IDutch (German) origin. Kitch- ener is the focal point in Can- ada, and beginning next sumn- mer Americans will tour the area for a week, visiting th'i farms, the pioneer village be- ing reconstructed, and the Strat- fard Festival. Canadians wil] visit such centres as Reading, 'Lancaster, Allentown an-1 Scranton in Pennsylvania fi-rn which the forebears of many in the Kitchener area came. This sounds like a most worthwhile and interesting idea. BENEDICT ARNOLD While reading Thomas Con- ant's book, "Life in Canada", a refemence ta Benedict Arnold, "the traitar", receiving a grant of 18,000 acres of land in Upper Canada not far fromn the auth- or's home, aroused aur interest. This was on twa counts. One- the land must have been eitbe:r in tbe Darlington vicinity or at Oshawa, because Thomas Con. ant's great-grandfather, Rager, witb John Burk and John W. Truli, ahi U. E. Loyalists from the U.S. were the first settleis bei-e, in 1792, the Canants later moving ta Oshawa. The date of tbeir remaval we do not knaw tbough it is likehy given some- wbere. Second-the name BenedictI Arnold rang a bell, but a faint one. On cansuhting a local bis. tarian wbo neyer fails us, we faund tbat Arnold was a gen- eral in the American army in the Revalutianary War of 1776, who wbile in command at West Point in 1780, planned its sur- render ta the British. He ended up being despised bv many on z both sides, for no one is fond of le a traitai-. For bis service ta th-c *British, however, he receiveýd 10,000 pounds, according ta Canant, and aiso the tract of land "nat far fi-rn the author's home". Whether he refers ta Darlington or Oshawa, it is close enougb ta be of interest. It is unlikehy Arnold ever took up bis tract bei-e thaugb, for lie died in London, Enghand in 1801. MORRISH (Intended for last week) On Wednesday, Juiy llth a most successful strawberry sup- per was hehd in the Sunday Scho oh. The tables were w ýl1 filled with visitai-s fi-rn near and far who came ta enjay the many gaad edibhes provided. A large sign set in a prornin- ent position advertising tbe sup- per drew many tourists wba wei-e havish in their pi-aise and, compliments for tbe excellent supper. The two long tables looked very attractive when set, bath were decorated with vases of red and pink rases whihe the chairs recently purchased add-1 ed greater comfort in seating the guests. Supper ovei- a short but ex- cellent pi-agi-arn was presented in the church. Mr. Allen Peters acted as cbairrnan in the ab- sence of Rev. A. W. Harding. The supper was held under the auspices of the W.A. who are ta be congratulated upon tbe success of this venture.

Relatives were pres- ent fi-rn Toronto, Whitby, Osh- awa, Lindsay, Tyrone, Burke- tan, Bowmanville and Courtice. Although the inclement wea- ther at the supper hour pre- vented eating in the open, it did flot dampen appetites when tables were set indoors. Follawing the supper, Mr. Donald Courtice, Whitby, Pi-a- sident, called the gathering ta order and extended greetings. Miss Gladys Jackson, Secre- tary-Treasurer, then read the minutes of the previaus picnic. One minute's silence wau held in memory of Mrs. B. J. Gay uýf Oshawa, who had passed away during the year.
