PAG l TI ft ~ ij ±v~ via~, rr~ i TH RS AY MApHTHE 1 55A A PIN A TE Pu A N, BO£ NVILL , ONT RIO Current and. Con fidential By Elsie Carruthers Lunney BIRD CALENDAR Is there a bird calendar? One would almost think so, for the .-birds wili arrive in the same -week of the same month, year in and year out with very littie variation, each species having an appointed time. Take thîe .Crows. We listen for them most -eagerly of ail, because they are -the first ta corne and when we hear that boarse, confident old "Caw-Caw", we know that *Winter is on the run. We'vc beard it in the week of February 20th ev'cry year for quite a wbile now, and this year «was no exception. How welcomne those hardy black rascals arc. Some people' have reported see- ing a Robin, but we are told by bird authorities that i n sucb a case, the Robin bas pro- bably neyer gone South. It is a miracle how birds can sur- vive below zero temoerature, - nd snow, but thex- do. Tho' r v of the Blue Ja ys bas been acbcery sudaIl winter. -NEWCASTLE AND NEWTON- VILLE TOO We receivcd a letter f ro'r -Mr. Edwin C. Guillet, author ofi ~'Pioneer Inns and Tavcrns', after last week's column had been set in type. He is anxioils to have pbotogranhs flot only of oid taverng in . and near Bowmanville. but also of anv in ai~ near Newcastle or New/_ tonville. Mr. Guillet asks o early photographs if possible, but present-day if the buildings have îîot much changed. "There -migbt also be sketches or ea.,l[y prints," he adds. -He bas pic- tures of Marsb's near Welcome, and of Post's at Pickering. Mr. Guillet says, "If you sbould reccive any authentic in- formation, I shall be giad tc incorporate it la Volume 3 on The Kingston Road. The second volume, some 300 pages or Quebcc, the Ottawa Valley, anc northern United States, is about ready for the printer.I expect it wili be out in Septem- ber." PAINTINGS AND PEOPLE 'We had the pleasure of visit- ing the Toronto Art -Gallery last. wcek and seeing the exhi- bition known as the Golden Agc, of Dutcb Painting. The entire gallery is given over to these paintings, and tbey are indeed beautiful and well worth a Visit. The Golden Age was the l7th century xvhen such great arti.its as Rembrandt, Hais and Ver- meer werc producing their greaý wark. Man ' other artists wbosc names arc not so familiar ta us are also reprcsented in tli ex- hibition. There is aiso an interesting exhibit of l7th century Dutch silver tea caddies (one with a key and lock, for tea was prc- cious), little snuff boxes, and other articles of old silver, as well as Delft plates, tules and somne l7th century documents. These have been loaned by pri- výite colectors in the Toronto a rea - It is always interesting ta ob- serve people, and tbe crowd at the Art Gallery was no excep- tion. There were schQol chil- dren being taken thraugh and having the paintings cxplained ta them; there were students: there were ordinary people like I Vigor Off Co. Ltd.

LOANS -why of see BE LLVUE course ourselves; there were young Dutch couples; and in the midst of ail this hodge-podge were la- dies with mink capes who care- fully scrutinized the paintlngs tbrough lorgnettes and consuit- ed their catalogues with concen- tration. We suspect the patient chauffeur ýwith thç large black limousine parked before the doors was waiting for one of these ladies. Besides ail these types, there were the guards of course, pa- trolling about from room to roomn, since this exhibition is worth a fabulous amount of money. It continues until March 25th. so if you are in Toronto between now and then, you wîll find a visit to the Art Gallery <Dundas Street West at Be- verley) a rewarding experience. BACKTRACKING ON THE TRAIL At one point in his address -ta the Women's Canadian Clubi last week, Dr. G. E. Reamnan -askecl, "Have you ever read aîmy religiaus history? It's fascinat- ing stuff." In doing research for bis book, "The Trail of th-i Black Walnut" wbîch will be out this Faîl. Dr. Reaman rcad great quantities of religlous bis- 5tory. Quickly and skilfully cov- ering a large terzitary, Dr. Rea- man in bis talk gave a sketch of the riire of such groups as the Maravian, Lutheran, Re- formed. Quaker, Mennonite, Huguenot and severai other re- ligiaus sects from the l4th cen- tury on. It is indeed a fascinating sub- ject. We dipped int it briefly at the time the film, "Martin Luther' was being shown last vear but there mnust be hundreds of books fromn which ta chaase on ail the different splits in re- ligion in Europe, tbc Britis;h Isles, and the New World. Dr. Reaman in bis eight years' re- search on the 'blind spot" mn Canada's bistory must have read a great many of thcm ta be so thoroughly informed on the origin and history of tlie Low German peoples wbo mi- grated ta this continent. Many of themn made anc more mave, fromn the United States ta Can- ada, being the earliest settlers of Ontario. A wbilc ago, you may remem- ber, we became mucb interest- cd in the Mennonites wbo set- tlcd Waterloo Counby, and re- commended Mabel Dunbam's books, IlTrail of the Conestoga" and "The Grand River". Dr. Reaman praised themn too. We also became greatly interested in bbc Quakers in Canada througb aur visit ta Bloomfield and Picton last summer. Des- cendants of Quaker famîlies who came with Major Van Als- tine's party in 1784 from New York stili live there, many of them in the lovely aid brick hauses which they built from 1800 an. Thraugb these insights inta Ontario's past we have some slight appreciabian of how im- portant and how intcresting Dr-. Reaman's fortbcaming book wil! be, for it is about the settle- ment of these deeply religiaus peoples in Ontario, then the wildcrness of Canada West, and their contribution ta aur wayt of life. We await "The Trail afj the Black Walnut" xibh keen anticipation, and wc are surie that everyone who beard biss talk must feel the same. TheT book will make a great contri-1 bution. ta Canadian histary. It 1will be bandled in Canada b7, Ryersan's.1 What Gihers Say1 THE CHURCH AND THE PRESS <Canon City <Colo.) Sun) Historically and in a very real sense, the press and tbc puipit are partncrs. There are times wrhcn the two seemi far apart, but in a deepcr sen.se tbey are not. You may put it down for a rîiism that there cannat long he a free church in a nation wb ich bas a slave press. By the same token, a free press wil not endure alongside an impril- I soned churcb. The twa thus are dependent on each other and complemer-. tary ta each ather. The press imaintains freedam oof the mmnd and bbc church preserves fî'ee- dom of the spirit. Bath are e cessar\'. Take one away and the 1 ather is soîeiv dstressed. It is significant that Article 1 o the United Stabes Bill of Right.s; recognizes this church.. press partnership by providing specificalix- that Congrcss shail makze no iaw il respecting the establishment of religion and ( 2) abridging freedorn of press or speech. A third prohibition forbids and abridgement o! the righbta assemble peaceab1l-. No informed and faibhful-na-. tion is likely ta ever fall prey ta false doctrine, or false gad. If yau xvould cure anger. do not fced it. Say ta yoursclf: "I used ta be angry everv day; then ever '- other da,% na« on ly every third or fourbb da';."

'Le gion WeI Members Fri Two members of the Bow- manvile Branch of the Cana- dian Legion; Comrade Bob 'Cale, Bowmanville, and Joh:n Cossor, Orono, were welcomed back fromn Sunnybrook Hospi- tai, Toronto, at the regular meeting of the Branch beld last Thursday night. They reported that Comrades Gien Hughes and John Swin- dells of Bowmanville were stl in hospîtal there and would be for some time yet. It was also reported that Jack Cunningham of Bowmanville was a patient at that bospital. Poppy Chairman Pete Bath- gate reported that Legion mem- bers who are patients in the Memorial Hospita], Bowman- ville, may obtain use of the Le- gion radio there upon request. One new member, Donald Mountjoy, ý58 Simipson Avenue, was welcomed into rnembersbip on transfer from a Toronto Le- gion Branch. To Pureihue New Range Property Chairman Bob Fin- igan announced that the Ladies Hop e FormsI Group ta, Deal With Highwa ys Furtber plans for dealing witb thc Ontario Departmenýt of Hîgbways an bebaîf of pro- perty owncrs in Hope Town- ship werc made at a meeting of the executive committee of thes Hope Township Highway Asso- ciation held an Manday night of last week. The commitbee wîll deal with land buyers of the Department on behaif of the property own- er-members if tbey so desirei in negobiations for land nceded for the extension of HighwaY 401 from Newcastle ta Port ý Hope. Made up of Edgar Nichais, President of the Durham Fed- eratian of Agriculture; George Martyn, Lea Bevin and Gordon Kellogg, the committee decided ta inform the Dcpartment of Highways that thcy represent the property owners In Hope Township and their object is ta specd up negotiations if pos- sible and try ta reach a satis- factory financial agreement for aIl parties concerncd. It was decidcd ta draw up a constitution by-laws and oh- jects for bbec Hope Town.ship Higbway AssociatiQn and ta have mcmbcrship cards printed. The Association will scck a mcmbersbip fee of $5.00 ta help defray the cost of legal advicc and other expenses that may be incurrcd. A similar association was farmed in Clarke Township on February 19. These Associations plan ta study maps of the pro- posed route of tbc new four- lane highway between Ncwca-- tic and Port Hope to determine just whicb praperty owncrs will be afffected. Construction of this. strebch of highway is, said ta bave been given a hignià piority by tbe Department of Eighways. -'M.S DIO Orono, Feb. 21, 1955 Dear Mr. James, I have read with great inter- est the Blackstock correspon- dent's "History of Cartwright Schoois", as given by Mrs. Ivan Thompson at the Blackstoclc Women's Institute. It bas broVght back many memories and I would offer one correc-, tion. The brick school at Cadmus was built in 1905, a few yards south of the log school. near enough for the men excavating for the niew building to toss the occasional mouse in the window of the oid school. I taught in the log school 1904-1905 for the handsome sai- ary of $325. (This was the highest salary any girl of my class in Port Hope Model re- ceiv'ed.) There had been a seven year long dispute over the site for. the new building - the north against the south. The old sehool was disreputable and neyer was a new school more Ineeded. Geo. McLaughiin (known asContractor George) was t'ne man who built the school. I started to teach at the Ne- Year 1904, and received my first salary in December. My unc le drove me out from Newcastle!I un the coldest day I was ever out and we had to break our own road ail the way. In the old school snow and rain came in, also squirrels and mice. A great old box stove sup- plied the heat and one bitter cold day the bottom fell out of it and we had to wait till four to get home. The teacher and pupils werc expected to store the large cord wood sticks in the back of the1 school and one day when we had just completed the job tfle corner walls split apart and out went a lot of the wood. Harry McLaughlin's father pass- ing in a wagon jumped oA' the seat and waved bis bat. It meant the new school had to bce bui]t. My trustees for 1904 were John Lane, Jas. Marlow and! Abraham Beacock. In 190.51 John Leine resigned and WVilson Nesbitt took his place. If Mrs. Thompson's father didnft start! ta sehool with me he was a very smail bo-%. 1 might add that I bave fol- lowed witb considerable admai- ration the forward movement in educational trends in Cart- wright. May they continue Io iead lhe way. Mrs. Fred Bowen, formerly, Alma 1. Thonas cornes Back How You Join the Coronaf'y Club om H ospifai 1.
