Forrester, Editor * Kendal News What'i In A Name? John James, editor of the Canadian Statesman, is all wrapped up in a proposal to have the name of the Tçiwn of Newcastle changed to that of Bowmanville and from what we read is just awaiting the perfect opportunity to present his bag of mail in support of his viewpoint. We really don't get excited about a name but having lived with the.name of the Town of Newcastle for the past ten years we have become accustomed to it. Surely it would be even more confusing to now change the name to the Town of Bowmânville. we would end up with two Bowmanvilles as today we have two Newcastles. Mayor Rickard points out that if it is a matter of confusion for residents of the Town with the present present name it would not be corrected by changing the name to Bowmanville or any other name that existed in the Town âreà prior to Regional government. We believe the mayor is quite right. As we have said before we have become accustomed accustomed to the.name arid as far as we are concerned the status quo should remain. Surely Bowmanville is going to survive its present small type on Jhe map at least until the next printing. We expect Orono will always be around and Orono residents will always call home, Orono, not Newcastle or Bowmanville. The Kirby senate we understand returned one of the coupons calling for the name change to Kirby. Well, why not. It is, however, going to be interesting to see how council reacts to the suggestion when the mail bag is delivered. More supportive of watershed plan through this program to make the forests under Authority ownership more productive with greater financial returns and as .well provide needed employment. He said the use of the program made gopd common sense and over -a period of years would bring improved returns. He* also suggested that the Authority make use of the Ontario Heritage Foundation funding which this year had been extended in order that the Foundation could assist with the purchase of environmentally environmentally sensitive 'lands-. He said* the- Authority had at least two such, locations within their Region that should meet the requirements and which he felt should come under, public ownership. Exotic Cats , (Continued lion pegs I) W. Klose said he had built to standards such as now exist exist at the Peterborough Zoo and said he did not intend to have any more than five or six exotic cats on his property plus a pair of black pandas. "These are not wild beasts", he said, "they would be raised raised tamer than some dogs". As to pairking he said could accommodate up toon toon e hundred cajs if such was required. Counc. Cowman asked if. he proposing to build to the standards of the Ontario Roy Forrester who some time ago voiced some objections to the Ganaraska watershed plan told council members on Monday that the First draft did now contain many points that he supported supported and especially thoserelating to Valleyland management. He said he was pleased to see stream valleys in the Town of Newcastle given a high priority for •management. These included included the Hunter Creek south of Orono, the orono Creek, the Wilmdt north of Taunton Road, Ganaraska in the Kendal area, portion of the Graham Creek. He also supported the mention of Fill and Construction Construction regulations and asked that both the municipality and authority authority seek final approval from the Ministry. • Forrester said he realized realized the plan was on paper and the real success comes through its implementation implementation and the degree to which it is implemented. He asked that the Authority in co-operation with the Ministry make use of the Canada-Ontario Employment Forestry Program which was designed-to improve forest, lands across the country through the provision of labour. He said it "was possible" These three abide, faith, hope, . and love but the greatest of these is love. I Corinthians 13 v!3 This has been a strange June, so cold and wet till June 7th when we had frost that froze the peppers and tomatoes. Then the third week the temperature was in the nineties, summer heat and dry. One lady told me she rose every morning at six to water her plants. This is most unusual for the month of June. In June 1945 my officer left for two weeks vacation. On his return 1 asked, "Did you have a good holiday?" "Well," he replied, "Fourteen "Fourteen days holiday, thirteen days rain," In September when I returned to teaching the other teacher's said, "You were not teaching last June, you were lucky." They said, "Just imagaine what it was like, forty children in a one-roomed school, even at noon they had to stay in the classroom, rain day after day. On Sunday morning the day was fine but the attendance attendance was small, In place of the children's story Rev. A. Tizzard read the diary of Miss Ann Foster, telling of her trip to Kenya with stopovers at Rome and Jerusalem, then settling in to her work at Nairobi, Kenya. This was most interesting and perhaps could be published later. This was Communion Service. The scripture reading was St. Luke 22: 10-20 and the sermon topic, "The Symbols". Symbols". Next Sunday, June 26th, the Kendal Orange Lodge 405 and visiting brethren will meet at 2 p.m. and parade to the service in the church at 2:30 p.m. July is holiday month on the charge.

The rollcall was, tell some of the hardships of the, "good old days". One mentioned mentioned the corduroy 1 roads that riders on a wagon bumped over. Another men- t ioned the party line telephone with so many listening. However one lady admitted that she loved the party line, in other words she loved listening to the girls and their boy friends talking etc., It was more interesting than the radio. Then Mrs A. Cathcart gave the Motto: "Those who forget the past lose the key to the future". The topic was "A Pioneer", Mrs. Eliza Elliott. The first event that effected her life happened when she was one year old in 1833, Her grandfather's barn burned in Enniskillen, Ireland. So Robert Carscad- den, his wife Flora (Dean) and their ten children met around the dinner, table, to decide what they must do. Can't you hear "the oldest son Robert saying, "I have heard of the new land of Canada with its huge pine trees and its fertile soil. Let us build a new barn in the new land." The second son John said, "I can not travel at this time Eliza isr one year old and another little little one is expected, l will com tinue to weave linen table cloths for the brides." The third son James said, "I have been studying law, perhaps I could make out deeds for our new farms in Canada." William, what do you say? "No wilderness and wild Indians Indians for me, I'm off to New York to the land of Uncle Sarri." The three young lads, Dean, David and Joseph are 1 delighted with the thought of an ocean voyage in a giant sailing ship, a wind jammer. They booked their passage, taking with them ,a half a dozen sheep so there would be wool for. the boy's socks, and a couple of crates of chicken so there would be fresh eggs along the way. It must have been the wrong time of year for storm after storm and contrary winds hit them. They were almost there when a storm blew them almost back to the old land. Month after month went by. The smells of the animals below deck, the stale water, the salt pork and sea biscuit were too much for the mother, she died. Picture that funeral on board ship. The father with his two little girls in his arms surrounded by his five sons. The minister said, "She is not here, she is risen. Underneath are the everlasting arms". Deut. 33 v 27.

Dean Carseadden is buried at Thornbury and on his tombstone tombstone it says born 1825. He is Reg Elliott's great grandfather. grandfather. After 23 weeks on the water, the family finally arrived arrived at Crooked Creek. There the road ended and the older boys blazed the trail to thé sixth line to the farm now owned by Mr. G. Rigger.' They dug for water and got ' none so they moved one mile north to the running springs where the Provincial Park is today just west of Kendal village. So Kendal began in the year 1833. There they built their log house and . barn. However the two little girls had no mother to teach them so their father wrote to his son John, "Come and bring bring your wife Ann and Eliza and Robert and the baby and we'll give you half the house. Perhaps Ann can guide my little girls. So they came and never left that farm. One night Eliza heard her; parents talking very earnest- ' ly. Her mother said, "Eliza is five years old we must send her to school." Her father said, "We can't. We haven't go the money to pay the teacher."
