page twelve j the acton free press acton ontario thursday september 1 1955 ontario renovates old trading post toronto cp visitors to wapiseogamy creek will soon ad mire the hudsons bay company trading post there it tfas abandon- ad ions ago but the ontario lands and forests department plans to renovate it along with other posts in the kapuskasing district thesettrtatngpostswere founded more than 175 years ago but most were abandoned before the turn of this century in conjunction with their restor- ation program the department plans to set up an hist lib rary of ontario photograpns dep- icting everything from the prov inces townsites mills and indust ries to period clothing and recreat ion the history of one of the forts is described by c p wilson editor of the beaver a magazine de picting ontarios northland- during the summer of 1788 a post later known as the new brunswick was established on mi- cabanish lake now palled bruns wick lake it was abandoned in the tall of 1791 it was reestablished however in 1800 and abandoned again in 1802 then reestablished in 1805 fo a year nothing remained of the fort in 1817 but the ditches and a few decayed stockades shavings and hay insulate iceberg montreal cp insulation of an iceberg has made possible the reclamation for salvage of a four- engined aircraft that crashlanded 40 miles out in hudson bay in early may the crew was rescued shortly after the crash amos heacock a salvage engin eer from seattle wash passing through montreal recently explain ed how 5000 bags of wood shavings and 10 carloads of hay were flown to the iceberg and spread over a circle with a 100yard diameter around the plane to prevent the ice melting the aircraft a us overseas air lines dc4 engaged on an airlift for work on the earlywarning radar line began to settle into the ice and salvage work had to be started promptly mr heacock said the wood chips kept the plane from sinking farther into the ice while the bay kept the sun off by the beginning of june the plane was coveredand equipped with 15 pontoons in case if slipped from the floe each pontoon was capable of supporting 13 tons mr heacock said it was necessary to wait after completion of these operations until the 40 miles of waterbacji to churchill was clear of ice the floe was then towed back to churchill by motorboat at churchill the plane will be dismantled and shipped to new jer sey for repairs mr heacock said the job would cost about 200000 a new aircraft of the same type costs 600000 government maps cause confusion michipicoten mission ont cp this tiny community at the north east corner of lake superior is not atfhatthetmap makes it out to be difference of opinion between the inhabitants and the official survey made by the ontario lands and forests department has left all con cerned with a tricky question either the people of michipicoten mission must move their homes al ter their fences reroute their roads and straighten their boundaries or the department must back down and come to grips with the crooked paths of reality historic errar michipicotens dilemma goes back to the early days when all travel was by water and rumors of gold sent adventurers streaming into the area obvious landingstage for the prospectors was the old hudsons bay company post at michipicoten mission scenting a boomtown a land- speculating company bought up all available land and turned it on paperaijeast into neat 25foot building lots to top off their rose- tinted vision the speculators even gave the tentsettlement a new name michipicoten city but it didnt live up to its grandiose title since the boom never came michipicoten mission never took the shape its planners had ordained and little attention was paid to the lines of the old plan streets followed the easiest wagon tracks through the bush lot lines followed the ex isting streets in 1953 the department of lands and forests ordered a complete new survey of the community j the visiting suroor was ap- parontly torn between locality and realitv homeowner termed the results confusing not one of the milage roads is in the same place as the new map shows it to be many dont even run in the same direction its the same with the old buildings one property owner has been asked by the department to move a building because it is shown in the middle of a planned road which in fact does not exist buildings in a similar dilemma include the school house shown as situated far from the planned school property and the church standing in the middle of the planned mam road signs that the officials in toronto actually beheve in their plan aroused interest of michipicoten mission residents in their topsy turvy situation result is petition calling for a resurvty in accord ance with the actual
