Hunidred Years By Marion Riekard Over a hundred years ago, an ;English farmer and his wife, John and Maria Rickard, left their na- tive counItes of Cornwall and SDevonshire and embarked at Ply- mouth in an oid-fashioned sailing vessel. After landing at Quebec, they came to Bowmanville by boat and qettled on the farmn on Lot 1, Concession 1, Darlington Township, about two miles west .7o! Newcastle. They brought with them four children, Maria, John, Wlliamand Thomas. Three more sons, James, George and Samuel were born in Canada. John and Maria Rickard lef t behind them an England in which the common man endured much poverty and distress. In 1845 the failure of the potato crop in Ire- land and the failure of the wheat crop in England brought addi- tional hardship sa that the decade from 1840 to 1850 is sometimes re- ferdto by historians as the The famou8 Sand-D unes on Quinte hIe 9 0 " 9F r~icý.

Is is probable that the Riokards camne to Canada in 1847 with the hope of securing a better life. It was'not long, however, be- fore affairs n England improved and for ail British peoples the years from 1850 to 1914 were, generally speaking, years of peace, prosperity and progress. Possessing control o! the seas, ac- cess to raw materials, unlimited market, the most advanced meth- ods of manufacture and agricul- ture, England became, under thej guidance of able ministers and a revered Queen, the most powerful and weaithy country in the worid. This happy turn of affairs coin- cided wiih the coming of the Rickards to Canada. Partly be- cause of their own industry and1 resoluteness, John and Mariaî Rickard viere able to establish1 themselves secureiy on their ownt farm and ta assist their five sons1 in acquiring farms on the high-1 way between Shaw's and New-1 castle.1 Thus the 1850-1914 period saw1 the first, second and third genera- tions settled and prospering.t From 1914 until 1949 also, the1 family has been singuiarly for-C tunate.

Many of* them a3re stili engaged in the traditional occupation of farmning but others, entering the profes- sions, have become ministers, dentists, nurses, dietitians, teach- ers and engineers.

The only surviving member of the second generation, Mrs. Geo. Rickard, "Aunt Jane", was un- able to be present but hier entire family of six daughters was there to receive the prize for the largest family to attend. They are Mrs. Fisher, Mrs. JolI, Mrs. Harry Pearce, Mrs. Harold Thoms, Mrs. Irwin Allun and Mrs. Howard Al- lin. Several other members of the third generation attended: Mrs. Herbert Eabcock and Mr. Thos.

MOU NTJOY PICNIC The 26th annual picnic o! the Vlountjoy connection was held at Hampton Park on Wednesday al- ternoon, Juiy 27. All during the afternoon cars arrived bringi'ng families !-om Toronto, Oshawa, Kedron, Blackstock, Islington and Columbus. The children, though few in number, enjoyed the siides and swings, while the older ones sat on benches enjoying renewed riendships. The breezes from Hampton Lake were refreshing flter the sweltering heat on one f the hottest July days on record. At 5:30 z;ll sat down to a deiic- ius and zbundant picnic supper Lo which ail did ample justice. President Will Mountjoy then ýalled the company to orded and isked Secretary Mrs. J. E. Elliott, Bowmanviile, for the minutes o! :e last picnic.

In making this annauncement, the Commission stated that pre- viaus use o! helîcopters by power campanies in the United States had been on a charter basis, the aircraft being rented rather than owned outright. Hydro conducted its own trial fiights with a chartered machine, it was painted out. When these tests proved conclusively that helicopter patrol would be mare efficient and reduce overail main- tenance costs, the Commission de- cided ta purchase ane for regular use in line patrol. During patrois the helicopter wîll normaliy carry a crew o! two, pilot, and observer, but three can be carried if required. The pilot has been specially trained for bis job at a heliconter school operated by the Bell Aircraf t Corporation at Niagara Falls. The engineer who will supervise maintenance o! the flying "wind- miii" also received mechanical instructions in its operation at the Bell plant. The other member of the crew, the observer, will be an experienced member o! Hy- dro's Operation Division, or Reg- ional Staff, fully familiar with the numerous details of trans- mission line faults. 1In the preliminary test patrols conducted a few months ago, iA was found that in 181/ actual flying hours. the helicopter did the same job that would have required 600 man hours of ground patrol. In addition, fauîts were discerned froi the air that were not normally visible ta the graund observer. Another and valuable asset o! the helicopter was also empha- sized: In cases of emergency re- pairs it will be passible ta fly the 'iecessary men and materials in on a shuttled system, land on the lie right-of-way beside the trauble spot and effect the repairs n a minimum o! time. ELECTRIC TRACTORS It is reparted that three electric machine and tractor stations start. ed aperations in Russia this spring. The electric tractor was adopted by instailing an electric notor in the chassis o! an ordin- ary tractor. The machines receive current from high-voitage electric trans- mîission lines, and a mobile trans- frmer substation can be connect- ed at any place ta such a line in the field. It is claimed that ;uch tractors can cultivate a sec- on o! 37 acres before it is nec- cssary ta move the transformer. :unnîng costs are said ta be much ess than gasoline driven mach- J BREA WHITE24-ozloaf 12C JS CANNED MEAT Customers' Corner VIGOROt How da,you like the layant BO-KA of your A&P store?

It seems quite obvious that every move to- ward a planned economy must end in restricting the cherished rights that labor has fought so hard and 50 single-mindedly to sustain. The socialistic experi- ment in Britain is coming dloser and dloser to the day that it must either admit its failure, or regu- late labor's working conditions, hours 'and wages. Recently a group of Norwegian trade unionists visited Russia to s3ee the conditions of labor there at first hand . Their findings, re- ported in A.F. of L.'s "Labor's Monthly Survey," emphasize that labor's dearest right - the right of trade unions to carry on wage fights - does not and cannot exist in Russia. In that land of econ- omic planning, one of the first andt most definite plans is to es- tablish a wage basis for workers. From this regulation they have no appeal, because they would be appealing against the State, and the State has ruled that no union organization can challenge its de-1 cisions. The visiting delegates reported that there are 25 million trade .nionists in Russia; a powerful force that still has no power to determine its own destinies. Un- ion dues are used for such sec- ondary objecitves as social health and cultural objectives. Some 512,000 received the benefits of convalescent homes and a million shared in vacation benefits.. One wronders whlat the remaining twenty-three and a hiaîf million 'eceived for their fees. The delegates also pointed out :omething that will be of interest o workers. The benefits such as hey are, go to the most valuable vorkers, another instance of planning hardly in the tradition I I TUA -1 -1 , Floor Sanders Edqers & Polishers To leni For Partieulars PHONE OSHAWA 3744wl .K.
