ALL EVIDENCE POINTS TO CHARLES On the question ai Bowman- ville's name, ail evidence seenisý ta point ta whut we and oth- crs had always assumed, thatý the town took its name fromn Charles Bowman. You wili sec, elsewhere in this issue an ar- ticle by Dr. L. B. Williams stating that the William Bow- man who has been mentioned byMr. Thomas W. Oke of Keene, had no relatianship ta Charles Bowmun ut ail, the fon. mer being an Englishman and Charles Bowman a Scotchman. We wrote ta the Archivist af Ontario, Mr. G. W. Spragge, for assistance from the records ut Toronto, and what he has found aIl points ta the fuet that the settlement chunged its name from Dariington Milîs to Bowmanvilie in honor of Charles Bowman, wvho owned a gaod deai o! the land on which the tawn stands. The qounty o! Durham Di- rectary, ipublished in Toronta in 1869, says: "The place was known as Darlington Milîs un- tii 1831 or 1832, ut which time the name was changed ta Bow- manville after Charles Bow- man, £lsq. It was incorporuted as a village in 1852 and as a town in 1857." Mr. Spraggc also quotes .Arrstrang's "Place Numes In Canada" as stating that it was named aiter Charles Bowman. In fact, Mr. Sprugge says thut every authority he consulted stated the same thing. We can therciore feel quite satisiied that this is the case, and can only suppose that the impres.- sian to the cantrury handed down in Mr. Oke's family was due ta same misunderstunding11 ut some time in the family his- tory. When the name wus chan.-1 e d from Darlington Milîs Is1 stili flot estublished with cer-1 tainty. but the date a! 1831 or '32 given in the 'County o! Durham Directory quoted above ut least sounds reason- able. It was certainly changed befone 1846, us it was listed in a Gazetteer publishcd in that yean (whose name we do not hav by us at the moment) as Bowmanville. A Northumbenland and Dur- ham Directony published by E. E. Dodds, Port Hope, in 1880, ]aaned ta us by Miss Dora Pur- don, gives a gaod histonical sketch oi the town which ta!- lies with othens aiready knawn. It stutes that "the praperty known as the Bowmun Estate, upan which the larger portion a! the town stands and frorn which it denived its name, wus first drawn under Governor Simcoe's proclamation by John Burk." Mn. Spnugge tells us thut uc- cording ta the Canada Gazette, the incorporation ai the vil- lage ai Bowmanville was ta take effect an July 1, 1853, and the act ai incorporation as a town was assented ta on May 27, 1857, the village ta be a town on and a!ter January 1, 1858. Sa the Town Futhers cun take thein choice as ta the cen- tennial yeur uppanently, cither 1857 or 1858. AROUND GEORGIAN BAY AND LAKE SIMCOE Last week we said we would name a few places which you might like ta visit while mo- taning, if you have nat already donc so. The area anound the southern end ai Georgian Bay us very intcresting histonicaily. This is real Indian country und was cxploned by Champlain in 1610.

Bill Wakely started an the mound for the Portsiders, and was doing well with a 1-0 lead goung inta the third. Bawman- ville sturted ta hit thc baIl, and ended up with 12 runs in the top ai the fourth. Symons then came in ta pitch, and Bowmanvilie scored four marc. He was taken out for Bull who gave up two runs. Pont Hope munaged ta pick up only two more runs. Bowmanvillc's only lass (the first game they playcd) was ta Pont Hope, 7-1, and this game was mare than ample re- venge. Bill Butes aguin pitched the entire game for the winncns, with Piper catching. Bill Os- borne hit a long home run, and McGregon had a triple. The outstanding star of the game. however, was Ron Pollard, who made some sensational catches in centre field. He even had the Port Hope fans in the Hiily City giving him a hand. THE CARTERS ARE LUCKIER THAN THEY KNOW! Like ail families, the Carters have plaàs and dreams for the future. But, unlike the familles of just a generation ago, they have a better chance of making those dreams corne true. Why? One important reason is because if e insurance is much more flexible taday. During the past 25 years, many new policies have been created. The modemn "family in- come'" policy, for instance, provîdes maximum coverage while children are yaung, and reduces in amount as they become self-supporting. Other policies have been deve- Ioped ta caver mortgages, and ta provide metrement incarne ta fit in with the gavernment aid age security benefits. This wider choice reflects just one of the ways in which lie insuranwe companies and their representatives have adapted thoir services to the changing needs of Canadians in ahi walks o! ie!

The museum is under the York Pioneer and Histarical Society and is unique in that every- thing in the hause was the pro- perty of the Sibbald family whose members roamed the seven seas and fought in India and China, bringing home ta Eildon Hall wanderful souven- irs.

Near-by 13 the beautiful St. George's Church bult ta her memary on the site of the orig- inal church built in 1839, for the erectian af which she lab- ored so hard. The east window in the church was designed, made and presented by the seven daughters af Gavernar Simcae and was first in the woaden church. Stephen Lea- cock's grave is in the qui.'t burying graund surraunding the church an the shores of Lake Sirncoe. While in this district, you. shauldn't miss visiting the Old Stone Church at Beuverton, one mile east of the centre of the town. It was built in 1840, is very beautiful architecturai- Iy, and everything in the inter- Lt2r has been perfectly preserv- ed. Services are held the first Sunday in June, July.
