_____ ORONO NEsWS The King's Grandfather "Shoots" the Chaudiere Having fulfilled an important purpose of his visit to Canada in 1860 - the cornerstone of the new House of Parliament in Ottawa "ýwell and truly lad"-H.R.H. Albert Edward, first Prince of Wales to visit Canada, turned to lighter things. Fêtes, en- tertainments and receptions were climaxed with a descent of the Chaudiere Falls on the Ottawa River. The Royal party, some tment1 people, embarked tapon a cri b, part of a large rumber raft, which floated down slides or inclined planes adjoining the Falls to the smooth water below. The whole slide was divided into sections, some much steeper than others, by "floating aprons" of timber to break the speed. The trip was found "very exciting". -j . The year 1847, thirteen years prior to this historic visit, witnessed the birth of the Canada Life, the first Canadian life insurance company. In 92 years of progress, the Company has grown to be one of the ongest of co-operative organizations, snd now distnîbutes an average of approximately five hundred thousand dollars each week to those it serves. The Gnadia i4e Canada's Oldest Lite surance Company Miss A. Thornton, sud Mr. James Esglesou celebrated their birth- days together at dinner parties at the homes of Mrs. R. Moon and Mrs. J. Eagleson.

Ruudle, Bowman- ville, Mr. sud Mrs. George Arm- our sud daugliters Nellie and Bertha, Hampton, Mrs. Delbert Flintof sund sons Doniald aud Glen, and Mr. Clifford Johns, Osh- awa, visited Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Wood. GOOD FRIDAY US CELEBRATED BY PARK ST.
