Upper Canaila Village Upper Canada Village -- the most ambitious attempt yet made to recap- ture a living chapter of Canada's past--is coming to life near Morris- burg, Ont., on the new shore of the St. Lawrence Seaway. In the May fssué¢ of Canadian Homes and Gardens, writer Stanley Fillmore gives a pictorial report on the completion of the first house in the Village. The building just fin- ished is a Lutheran pastor's home, furnished as it would have been 100 years ago. i By 1961, when the Village is open- ed to the public, says Fillmore, the would have in the mid-19th century. "Only the pioneers will be missing and they will seem to be present." When the Village is opened, about 50 houses, barns, stores and taverns will clyster around. the central com- mon. Upper Canada Village is uni- que in that, in the majority of cases, the buildings will not be new struc- tures built to duplicate old ones, but will be actual buildings saved from the past. These buildings are being repaired and restored only as neces- sary. Upper Canada Village began as an effort by history-conscious citizens to keep dozens of old homes from being bulldozed away during Seaway con- struction, The houses were built by United Empire Loyalists, who settled the upper St. Lawrence Valley be- tween 1783 and 1786. Today, the creation of Upper Can- ada Village and the parkland of which it will be a part is being supervised by the Ontario St. Lawrence Develop- ment Commission, set up by the pro- vincial government. settlement will look exactly as it! Wheels On the Campus How can you get to be a big wheel on the campus without wheels ? That's how many a high school boy feels. But if he does get a car, it seems pretty clear, his stock with the girls may go up, but his marks will go down. Evidence: An Idoho study showed that not a single straight-A student owned a car and only 16% of the B students owned one. But 41% of the C. Students had had cars and 71% of the D students. And among the flunkers, a spectacular 83% owned cars. In Proser, Wash., High School Prin- cipal Edwin Anderson made a similar, study, found strikingly similar corre- lations between cars and bad marks. He also reports that a car owner may wind up quitting school entirely to get a job so he can buy gas, parts and polish for the jalopy. - All this should give parents some food for thought. In America, where the auto is almost an extension of the individual's personality, it is under- standable that people take a tolerant view of Junior's "necessity" to have one, and of course he can always pro- vide convincing reasons. Indeed, his possession or nonpossession of a car may involve the parents' own status symbols, like belonging to the country club. If so, something will have to give--Junior's marks or parent's in- dulgence. Parents will have to decide. g011 IN ONTARIO hia 10 Years of Progress" with Premier FROST Clipped Comments QUESTION OF STEERING OSHAWA---Since he became a poli- tician, Transport Minister Hees has learned to do a pretty good job of steering. But he failed to steer clear of an awkward subject when he was questioned about complaints that lock facitities along the St. Lawrence Sea- way could be improved. He told the Commons: "I would say it is all a mat- ter of ocean-going skippers becoming skilled as lake skippers in navigating their ships through the Seaway." Ships' captains, of course, do not navigate their own vessels through the locks and canals of the Seaway. The job is done by pilots. An it is obvious- the pilots who need more experience with the new Seaway facilities. They are gaining that experience at the ex- pense of damaged ships, by all ac- counts, of the Canadian locks is not all it should be. It is not as good as that of the U.S, locks, which provide easier and less hazardous handling of ocean- going vessels. Several ships' masters have sug- gested that wooden rubbing stakes be placed in the locks instead of steel stakes now in use. The steel stakes protect the sides of the locks but are hard on ships' hulls, The captains also also note that their vessels are harder to contrel in narrow waters during strong winds than are lake ships, be- cause they are designed for different jobs. This makes necessary a better winching operation than exists along the Seaway. Mr. Hees should have known all this of course, and probably did--but gave the flip answer without thogsht. Had It would appear, too, that the design [ THE PORT PERRY STAR, THURSDAY, MAY 21st, 1950.55 ly he thought before speaking, it would have occurred to him first of all that sailors do not become ships' masters without learning their craft thorough- i they progress step by step, and must pass examinations to prove their fitness to take the next step. examinations, incidentially, were set : : up by officials of departments Mr, Soloist with the band. : Hees now heads some considerable | Used to spend lis summers at Port time before he took office.
