Editor V- J A great event The visit to Bowmanville by Princess Margaret last week for the official opening of the Town of Newcastle new administrative building was indeed a great event. It brought much joy to the thousands who took advantage of the opportunity opportunity to see royalty and to be part of the pageant of evénts. It's hard to explain but there is a type of thrill when such make their appearance even in a somewhat ceremonial manner. As Ann Cowman has said the Princess is a gracious lady and this was most evident as she made her way along the charted course lined with people getting what glimpse they could of the visit. And then there were certainly many smiling faces which is always good to see and the respects being paid to royalty. It really mattered not that the building was not completed completed which may still take another two months before the move is made. The people were there to see the Princess not the building. Credit does go to Ann Cowman, staff and council in adding another dimension to life in this community, if only for a brief moment. No doubt it will be remembered for many days into the future. Balloon found, all way from Michigan Mrs. Lloyd Lowery brought a balloôn with an attachment attachment to it into the office two weeks ago which had been found by Murray Greenwood while baling hay on the Lowery farm on July 1st. The balloon had travelled all the way from Ypsilanti, Michigan and apparently had been released by students of the Lincoln Later Elementary School in Ypsilanti. The attachment attachment carried the student's name of Qiiinton Mercer. <Around Home Something to enjoy A couple of weeks ago we had the opportunity to visit an archeology archeology dig in Hope Township and found it one of the most interesting interesting outings of recent months. months. Its not that we haven't seen artifact of native life in Canada * before but then they were mostly mostly under glass and we did not have one such as Kathy Oberholzter outlining the significance of the. finds. She was terrific in giving details of ■' just what everything was and meant. We found the pole moulds of great interest realizing they existed existed some nine to twelve inches under the surface of the ea/th anti resulted from decayed poles that had been planted by natives some four hundred years ago. " They were quite distinctive after being carefully unearthed and may had run some six to eight inches into the earth as noted when cross sections were excavated. excavated. They could be separated from roots'of trees which ran along much longer• To Tealize they had remained here for that period of time undisturbed undisturbed was fascinating.

' It is understood that due to possible heat the corn kernels did exist in a form that would continue for periods of time. A cob of corn dated-back the '400 years but as noted it was a much smaller cob than those grown today. # ' It was interesting to note that 90 percent of the artifacts including including pieces of pottery was found in what had been the natives garbage dump. Here again the condition of the pieces was outstanding, if one is to consider time. As garbage dumps are on the ■minds of most people these'days what will happen in the next 400 to 500 years. Will anyone dare take on the taste of digging through the mountains of garbage garbage to determine the lifestyle of the 1960s to 1990s. It certainly certainly would be a full-time job for a goodly part of the population. No unemployment should ever exist in the 2400s and what will they think . . ,-other than the plastic wrap has preserved our smell for hundreds of years. That tells us fervent prayer is heard. 1 know it cometh soon or late: Therefore we need to pi ay and wait. I know not.if the blessing sought Will come in just the guise I thought.

Next Sunday there will be service again in Kendal Church at 10:00 a.m. and the last Sunday, July 31st our outdoor service at the home of Susan and Greg French at 11:00 a.m. Bring some sandwiches and stay for lunch. I enjoyed the Hymn Sing led by Mrs. Joyce Gray at the organ, the choir and Rev. Fred Milnes. Rev. F. Milnes spoke on Worship in the early early church. Worship involves the giving giving of ourselves to God. "O tor a heart to praise my God! A heart from sin set free." They were a worshipping and çar- ing church. They rediscovered the message of Jesus Christ. We must grow in genuine Christian fellowship. We are told to "Go and make disciples of all nations. Mrs. Olive Kean of Orillia spent last week in Kendal Village visiting with Mrs. Bernice Soper. Olive received her education in Kendal School. A veteran Canadian guide recently recently announced to a group of listeners that from now on he would guide only fishermen - no more hunters. "Why? Have you something against hunters?" he was asked. "Nope. 1 like them fine," he answered. "Do fishermen pay more?" a second second man persisted. "Nope, less," he replied. "Then why just fishermen?" asked asked another exasperated man in the group. "Well," drawled the guide, "so far none of them's mistaken me for a fish." The Women's Institute Ladies that spent last week at the Couroux Cottage were Mrs. Loveline Cathcart, Mrs. Dorothy Turansky, Mrs. Mary Lowe, Mrs. Helen Couroux, Mrs. Pat Lecuyer and Mrs. Eleanor Foster. They were favoured' with fine weather. When you meet , a stranger you ask them where they are from in Ontario. Then perhaps you notice the accent. It's as the song, says, "Did Your Mother Come from Ireland? For that little bit of brogue you can't disguise." Or if your mother came from Europe you probably probably phrase things differently. We had a lady next door whose mother was German. She rushed into our home one day to catch a person on the telephone, before he would leave home. Then she turned from the phone and said, "Excuse me, what for, using your telephone!" Then your next question is, "Why did they leave Ireland or Germany or Holland etc.?" Therein lies a story. Why did they choose Canada? Mr. Jas Swarbrick said that he planned to go to Australia after the First World War but when he asked for a ticket on that ship the ticket agent said, "They are all sold." "Well, give me a ticket to Canada then,"- he said and Kendal received a fine singer. This is the story of Dorothea Mitchell Mitchell as written by Bill McNeil in the book 'Voice of the Pioneer.' He interviewed interviewed her when she was ninety- four. Dorothea Mitchell was born near Manchester, England and did a lot of her growing up in India, during the days of Empire. Her parents were wealthy, and Dorothea was part of a minority. When the fortune disappeared and her father died, Dorothea was in her twenties, but work had not yet soiled her hands. Nevertheless, the family's destiny was suddenly her responsibility, and the plucky Dorothea decided that Canada in the early Ï900s was a land of opportunity; opportunity; She came, she saw, and she conquered: as you'll find out in this conversation. The Thing to Do.. . , I came out to Canada in 1904 at the age of twenty-seven to test the country for the rest of my family. The reason I came to Canada in the first place was that in England around the turn of the century, it was very much the thing to do. Everybody was talking Canada, and I suppose it was friends more or less, who interested us in coming. 1 didn't know what to expect but 1 was determined to make the best of anything that camé along. One of the first jobs I got after I arrived in Toronto was as manager of a large boarding house on Jarvis Street - 1 think it was 314 but I'm not certain. When I knew my mother was coming out, I was sure she wouldn't want to live in a place like that, so I nosed around and found a rooming house that 1 could rent that had, quarters.for the proprietor. proprietor. As soon as 1 had made the arrangements to take it over, 1 got a wire from Mother saying she wouldn't be coming because m.y sister was ill. So there I was, stuck with this ten-room boarding house on Church Street. But I-ran it the best I could, and it worked out alright. One time, this very nice couple came, and they wanted to rent two rooms, one for themselves, and one for a friend of theirs. They moved in, and they were very good, lqoked after the, rooms themselves, never made any fuss over anything. Then ime day, a man came to the door tihd asked if he could talk to me for a moment. He said 'Do' you notice anything .about these people you've rented the rooms to, anything strange?' 1 said, "Ncj, not particularly, except their in all day and out all night„buj that's all." lie said, 'Well we've been watching ihe house for days, and they are the leaders of the biggest drug ring in lllv United Stales, and we've come to aitest them! I was flabbergasted! I had to go to. the station with them to make sure that they didn't have anything of mine in their luggage. I don't know what they could have had, because 1 had nothing in those ■looms worth taking. I told the police i Hat but I had to go anyway. Aljei wards, I was advised bY the policemen to visit all the newspapers in town and ask them nia to mention my name or address 'in the story. 1 So I went around to all six newspapers, and not one of them ever mentioned me or even the name of the street.
