is in its original box something the shape of a spectacle box and is in a good state of preservation it has small metal weights of various sizes which were used as balances while it isnt news to the older residents of this part of the country it was of interest to us to learn that the burt family are real pioneers the scale tells the story it was brought here by mr burts greatgrand father in 1828 when he emigrated from scotland he lived in burlington a short time then moved to erin district and many of his descendants are still in the dis trict mr burts grandfather john wiison burt was six years old when the family came to canada he be came associated with georgetowns early history when he married maryann kennedy a daughter of george towns first settler george kennedy for whom the town is named they lived from 1844 to 1846 in a log cabin at wildwood and the same log cabin was bought by the lawn bowling club several years ago and is now used as a clubroom at the greens on edith street the scale along with other priceless relics of long ago has been passed down through generations and is a treasured possession mr burt also showed us an old cintype of his greatgrandparents which is remarkably well preserved potpourri miss annie ryan tells us that the account of a recent motor trip through part of new york state prompted her to take a similar trip to others she had en joyed in previous years she motored through to port- land maine and was particularly struck with the beauty of the mountains in the fall when the colour ing of the leaves added to the panorama we imag
