Çharles McCullough, Uic founder of the Canadian Club movement, who was born here and attcnded St. John's Angli- can Church ln Dr. Macnab's time (h. remnained here until his death ln 1891) i 1946 sent nme interesting notes to The Statesman. In the Centennial hiatory cf Bowmanville, being prepared, you will read somethmng of the hlstory of St. John's, but as we will not have spaoe to give such stoTies as this, wc wiil pass It along te You now. Col. Mc- Cullough took thc blography from Rattray's "Scott i British North Anierica" published 1882. Our Alexander Macnab was naned for an uncle, a Canadian who was aide-de-camp ta Sir Thomnas Picton at Waterloo in 1815. He was probably tue only Canadian who fought and feIl on that famous battîe field. In 1868 Dr. Macnab on a visit ta England reccived the Waterloo medal ta which his uncle wauld have been entitled, and a sum of money lying te his credit, though an act had been passed 52 years previaus cancelling alI dlaims ta prize money. In 1876 Dr. McNab and bis son placed in the crypt of St. Pauî's, Lon- don, a tablet ta the' captain's memory, near the tamb of Sir Thomas Picton. Dr. Macnab's first trip ta England was made in 1858 in the campany of his kinsman, Sir Allan MacNab. Col. McCullough records that Bowmianville's Dundurn passed into the possession of John Milne "the merchant", when lie was a lad. Col. McCullough re- called many happy days spent playing with the Milne boys in the spacious grounds. "In the kitchen garden,"1 he 'wrote "I first discovered the artichake and thc deliciousness of the big amber coloured and red rasp- bernies." He goes on ta say that he left Bowmanville in 1885, nloving ta Belleville, and thence ta Hamniltoni 1888. It would appear then that Dundurn was neot the Macnab residence at thc time of Dr. Macnab's death.

The roll cail-name tue oldest thing in your home and, if amal enougb, bring It, brought an outstanding display of exqui- site and intcresting articles nich in historical value. One article dating back ta 1571, an inlaid utility box over 200 years aId and a polished hoaf froni a herd of wild cattle of Chillingham, England. This dis- Play indicated the need for a place ta preserve such articles of historical value. Convener of the Historical ]Research cammittee, L. C.

It is alsa hoped that fron the photos whlch corne ini res ponse to this appeal, a few mal be of subjects which might fi into the historicai booklet, anc be sharp and clear enough foi this purpose. Now. we have another re quest, and perhaps it ties h quite well with our Centennia appeal. Mr. Edwin C.

We know of no mar better fitted for this absorbini job. Mr. Guillet wMI be traveflin$ throughout the province jr search of photogKrlphs, sketchei or paintirigs of Nearly scenec which have local or provincial interest. Our vicinity will bE visited, and sa we send out thfi request, which does not pertair just to Bowmanville, but to oui whole area. These photographE would be of more historical rather than personal, nature wE presume. If you think you have anything which might be of in- terest ta the Archives, do lct us know. Mr. Guillet sales thai if the owners do not wish ta present the material to the Ar- chives, they could be photo- graphed. Was'there an artist In your family who made a sketch or painting of some, old time scene in the villages, country or town? Or what about photo- graphs? We hope everybody is dclving in old collections and albums these days, and as yau do, you can keep these two re- quests in mind. If you have anything worthy of preserva- tion in the Provincial Archives, you will be doing a valuable service in presenting it or al- lowing it to be photographed. Bring or send material in ei- ther case ta The Statesman, P. O. Box 190. Inquiries re what Mr. Guillet wants may be ad- dressed to us there if In daubt, and we will pass thcm on ta hlm.

A few excellent thoughts on Frlendship and Ideals werc read by Mmr. J. R. Metealfe. The mottè, "Let us treasure the past and look forward ta tue future", was given by Mrs. C. H. Snowden. She spoke of the birth of tue Christ Child and what it has meant ta mankind down through the ages, the courage and heroism of aur pioncera, the privileges onjoy- cd from aur schools, churches and community life, the bene- fits and enjoyments from aur arts and sciences and the rich- es of friendships.

Snow- den spoke of pioneer life in this area as belng typical of many parts of Amnerica. Going b ck to th.e log bouses and 'lgwams of the Indiana when dense forests ta Uhc shore lake lunes abounded in game and lakes and rivera teemed with flsh. A very severe *inter could cause near famine. At' such times trec barks were used as food and from this su- gar maple sap was discovered. Hceating the sap wlth rcd hot stones the Indians reallzed a syrup which resulted later in the maple sugar. The Indians dld not clear the way as pion- cers from them came the birch bark canoes and maple sugar, contributions ta the white set- tiers. The first sales of what today is an important industry was rnaple sugar packcd In ncartly sewn birclh bark baskets and traded by the squaws. Fur tra- ders and voyageurs learned the art and found ane pound of su- gar sufficient nourishment for a day's labor. From the history of the trek by the first white settlers into the wiIderness of Canada ta lound their one-room log shanty homes, warmed and lighted by the hearth fire we learn that when winter set in before land location lines werc finally drawn some settlere were hous- cd in army tents and out of door fires for comfort. Also settiers carried grain by foot, on hand slcighs, or in thc summer on raf ts from right here in the Darlington area ta same place north *of Kingston for their first stane rollcd flour. In Pioneer days before chur- ches and schools provided so- cial Iife, the anc room home played a great part in aur heri- tage of taday. Program concluded with singing of "Home Sweet Home" and "Sehool Days". Cheese squares, pickles and tea were served. 1 February meeting wili be in - charge of public relations and ecommunity activities commnit- tee.

She was pleased ta, report aur Auxiliary bas had a very warth- while year. The treasurer for- fwarded $859.93-our allocation fr 1957 was $750. World Day of Prayer Feb. 21 at Caurtice church. Rev. Harold Stainton con- ducted an inspining and im- pressive installation service. Mrs. Glenn Pickell and Mrs. Garnet Tubb continued the Stu- dy Book with the chapter on Women In the News in Japan. Mrs. Tubb spoke of a Japanese war-widow who faced her dif- ficulties with resourcefuiness and courage. She is typical of thousands who lost husbarids in the war. A discussion of the statua of women in former time and now followed. We lcarned women now en- joy equal status with men and are taking their places beside men in business, on farms and in industry. There arc alra women reporters, authars and artists. Womcn may also be found in both houses of Parlia- ment in govcrnment positions and as doctors in bospitals. This change was first startcd by the Church which supplied Girls' Schools and encouraged a high standard of education. Many praminent Christians are grad- uates of these scbools. The loy- alty and devotion of these womcn helped keep the cburch in Japan going through thc dark war years. The Worship Service was conducted by Mrs. Allan Down using "Contentment" as the theme. Truc contcntment is not indifference. or despair or lazi- ness. It is somcthing greater and finer than these. W. must neyer be content with aur- selves. Discontent with aur sur.- roundings -made progress pas- sible.' However, al aur modemn convenicnces have not made us a satisfied people. The inner life of man and not gadgets or bank accaunts make us truly contented. We must trust God :o undcrstand the Master whcn he raid "Take therefore no ;hougbt for the morrow". Mrs. Down read the hymn "1Just For roday," and closed the meeting wiîfh prayer. Executive Meeting The annual executive mneet- ng was held at Mrs. Carl )own's with 17 present. Mrs. H. F. Osborne opened with prayer. The president conduct- ed the business. Mrs. G. Tubb gave the folowinig treasurer's eport.
