A - - -iAXi aJaur - TMCJAAMAW 'TAW. EeWMANVMM .OHTAE!O TEUEIMAT, JUL? lmt, 1988 bu MLIR CAKEUTHEESLU1NHE ONE EVERTYTEAR? Well, it's ail over, the b4g week of celebrations for ou.r Centennial, though we stili have another big parade ta look forward to this weekend, July l2th. As we watched the parade of bands and Legion units wind up at the Central school grounds on Sunday afternoon, a friend said ta us, "This week has been wonderful. I wish we had a Contennir4 every year." To w%,hich we replied, almost with ancuish, "Oh no!" We imagine the reaction of rnost af those who have been involved in one way or another w:th the Centennial for the past yr'nr and a haif is much the sý!jip-everybody is tickied ta rrath it ha s been such a won- cie-fil success, but once in a lii-,dred years is enough. We could be wrong though. We haven't taken a poli of the Cen- tennial Cammittee or those who vorked in other ways. Neyer- thèless, if we were ta have a Mardi Gras one week in everv vcar. we think the present Cornmittee would be glad ta pive some one else a chance at it. Not being a member of the Ccntennial Committee, except as one af the Historical Cam- irttee which prepared the book o n Bawmanville, we can freely congratulate those who were in charge of ail the prepara- tions on the smoothness with wvhich they were carried out. As one of those involved ta the evebraws in other ways, we repeat weakly, because aur strength faileth, "Yes. It was fun. it was wanderful, but one is enaugh." THE SPIRIT 0F THE THING People did have a good time Take the Back ta School Day. Tangues clacked furiously. The din in the halls af the High School was deafening at times. The change in somne people and the lack of change in others is sometimes a littie disconcert- ing, especially fllowed by the chastening thaught, "What do 1 look like ta themn?" But that's part af a reunion. The main thing was that a lot of people cared enaugh about their n'id ) chool, both public and high, ta came back and viit teachers and classmates. Then the responge to the Mu- zeum operated so well by the Women's Institute was one af the rather amazing, and very heart-warming, thinga about the Centenniai. Over 1,400 per- sons aifail ages carne and lin- gered aven the wondenful ex- hibit ai articles, paintings, pho- tas and sculpture. It's brought out the olci question again on every side, "Why don't we have a permanent museum?"l Not yet being rechargèd with vi- gour, we'll iust let that ques- tion lie quietly for the mom- ent. Ahl the events were succeua- fui, but we would just like ta say how the spirit ai people enjaying themselves communi- cated itseli last Saturday night. While people were streaming in ta the Museumi at Uic Com- munity Centre till Uic ladies thought they wauld neyer be able ta close it, hundrecis more were dancing in the street downtown, or watching and lis- tening. It was a loveiy nigbt ior outdoor dancing, pleasantly cool, and whcn we droppeci by, the square dance music was ilaating on the summer air most invitingly. We watchcd witb particular pieasure, a set of aider folk periorm the figures xith precisian. They were a joy ta watch, and they werc having a lot ai fun. The aid town echoing ta music and danc- ing in the streets-it was gooci, a gaod way ta conclude the se-* culan celebrations. DUNDURN CONNECTIONS -A VISIT OVER THE SEA Wr would like ta tell you about a most interesting couple who visiteci Bowmanville dur- ing Centennial week. Their par- ticular interest was in meeting Mrs. William Paterson with whom they had, core8panded for some time, and in seeing Bowmanville's "Dundurn", built by Dr. Alexander Macnab. Rev. T. Melville Baiiey and Mrs. Bailey ai Hamilton are authori- tics on the Macnab (on Mac- Nab) families. Mn. Baiiey wrote the interesting booklet on Dun- durn Castle at Hamilton which is on sale there. Dundunn Cas- tie, built by Sir Allan MacNab, bas been a museum for many ycars, and a very fine anc. Mn. Bailcy aiten writes for The Spectatar in Hamilton and has just baci jublished a las- cinating bookiet called "Traces, Places and Faces". On a trip ta Scotland two years ago, thc Bailcys traced the origin ai a number ai Scots wbo became well known in Canada, visiting their birthplaces, talking with People thene. The articles were To Can vas District for Hamp ton Mausoleum * A pneliminany aunvey la ta coe mnade ai the Hampton area starting in the next. iew days for the Community Mausoleum ta be canstructcd across from the present Hamptan Hampton Cemetery as explained in de- tail elsewbene in this issue oi the newspaper. Thc mausoleum is being financed by Elwood H. ~' Glabb af 635 Bloor St., E., Oshawa, Ont. Mn. Harold Salter is the local represenrtative fon the mausoleum project. They wiil make a canvass af Uic en- tire cammunity and district, showing pictures and explain- ing ta each one, exactly what the mausoleum is and gives ta each individual. This survey is necessary finst, because iew people understand the impor- tant aspects ai this type ai bur- !al and second, it is necessary because ih this type ai mausa- leum only space is included in ýts construction ion those desir- ing il. Aiter sceing pictures and other explanatory data wvhich gives cach persan a ful knowiedge ai its many points, then an intelligent decision can b. ncndered. Those Incquiing about or those having the mau- soleum explained ta them are unden no obligation wbatever. Youn cooperatian in helping in this part ai the survey will be greatly appreciated and the quicken it is completed, the quicker conijstuctian can begin on the mausaleum. H-AMVPTON (Intended fon last wcek) Sunday Sehool Anniversary services were beld on Sunday andi were conducted by the pas- ton, assisted by Supt. Harold Balson. Rev. Wm. Fritz ai Jan. etvilie, was guest minister.. His inspiring and earnest messages, icit much food for thought. Music was pnovided in Uic ai- tennoon by the Juniors in sev- eral selections unden the leaci- ership of Miss T. McEachern with Mrs. M. Mountjoy at the piano. In the evening the Sen- ior chir in charge ai Mrs. K. Caverly contributeci a pleasing finit published in The Specta- tor and have now been put intol more permanent iorm. We sat in Mrs. Paterson's dining-roam before the big pic. ture window and talked, while R grand summer rain refresh- ed the garden outslde. Two or three years aga Mn.. Patersan sent Mr. Bailey some clippings about Bowmanville's Dundurn and kept himi up ta date when information cropped up. Our Dir. Macnab, nectar af St. John's. was a relative ai the Hamil- ton MacNab, and bath ai course, ai the MacNab clan in Scot- land. Mrs. Bailey had a further intenest. in that her grandmoth- er was Isabel Milne who had a brother John, and she thought thc Mine. wha punchased aur Dundurn from Dr. Macnab, might have been the same family. But we found by cain- paring birth dates, that they wene not. In Bawmanville, the Bailcys had the pleasure ai seeing Dun- durn, now the home ai Mr, and Mrs. William Marrisan. In Scatland twa years aga they,' visited the original Dundurn1 House at St. Fillane' and Kinneli House at Killin, which is the seat ai the Chici af the McNab clan, Archibald Carnie MacNàb. Having delved into al the his- tory from this side of the wa- ter, they were excited ta bel seeing the origin ai it ail. They were greeted at the doar ai1K1-1i neil House by the Chief hlm- self, garbed in bis kilt, and re- ceived a further welcome iran- bis wife, who is a daughter of Dame Fiora McLeod af Skye- a union ai famaus clans. The bouse is in an excitingl and beautiful setting, with the' River Dochart rushing into! Loch Tay on anc side, and be- hind, a mountain, Ben Lawers, rising 4,000 icet. Kinneil House is at the east end ioa Loch Tay. Almost a thousand years ago, the MacNabs cicaît a deathblow ta their enemieg; thc Neishes, and the event lives on in the! crest ai tic MacNabs. If you would like ta know mare about their visit there' and ai the many other links between Scotland and Canada,, you wauld be deligbted with, Mr. Bailey's book. A copy may be obtained by writing Mr. Bailey at 81 Cloverbili Road, Hamilton. Price is $1.00. While in town, Mr. Bailey kindly don- ated a capy ai his ather book- let, on Dundurn Castle in Ham- ilton and the stony oa irmAliani MacNab, to, Bowmanville Pub- lic Library.

Percy UNION HAMPTONF THE MAUSOLEUM Final arrangements have been completed with the flampton cemetery board for the construction af a Community Mausoleum in this village. The building will be as fine as money, art and science tan 'build. The exterior wails will be of time dci ying Bedford Stone and marble, the inner walis af bardest reinforced concrete. 'Ail metal work will be ai copper and bronze. Since the first mausoleum was built in 353 B. C., wbich stili exists, for King Mausolus (from wbence we get the word mausoleum) such improvement in' building materials bas been made, that a double walled structure such as this is aimost indestructible. It is ai such strength that after a few hundred years when present ceme- teries are obscure and present grave markers are lost, lcaning . or falien, tbis building will stand out little if any the worse for the time it bas stood, as stone becames harder with time. ]PROGRESSIVENESS A growing demarid for the Community Mausoieum is shown by the f act that so many such structures have been and are being built. Wbile this particular section ai the country have a few at the present time, in many sections af the United States they are predominant. In the past the excessive cost bas made this type af burial out af reach ai the average man but now it is actualiy cheaper than the average ground burial. OUR DUTY TO THE LIVING Since the begining ai time it bas been man' s custom ta neyer- ence bis dead and it becomes a comforting thought in any age ta know that one bas donc ail passible and bas given bis loved one the mast suitable resting place which the present time bas to offer. This building provides a place wbere f amilies may lie side by side in snow white campartments, bigh and dry, where neither water, dampness nor cold can enter. Embalming bas reached such a bigh state ai perfection that if a body is kept dry it wiii retain its present condition for centuries ta came. This was truc in Egyptian burials because they buried wbere water and damp- ness was non-existent, however water or moisture quickly nullifies al ai this. To make provisions for a final resting place, wbich will be secure, ready, and anc wbich cannot be moiested, is not only a duty owed ta aur dead but is evidence ta the living of aur desire for their weli being bath now and for aiways. To put off arrange- ments until the time arrives is no better business than amitting other business transactions until the last moment. In the case of death the grief is sa great and decisions s0 numerous that many reerettable and unchangeable mistakes arc made. THERE IS A BETTER WAY From time immemorial it bas been customary in Europe for families ta select a final resting place for their members in advance af actual needs. This sensible practice bas naw become the custom in America among thinking men and women. Death is no respectar of persan or persans, and sooner or later every family must face bereavement. The average death foilows a pcriod ai beavy expenses, aiten accompanieci by los of income. The insurance that was intended for the care of tthe loved ones or the education af the cbildren is depleted and the family leit in debt. A final resting place must be selected within a limited time, regardless ai finances, weather, mental anguish or personal inconvenience. Frequently the choice bas necessarily been leit ta a disinterested outsider and too ai ten bave such hasty arrange- ments been the cause ai everiasting regrets, It is often true that these sad but absoluteiy necessary arqangements are harnp- ered by lack ai adequate funds or lack ai time and mental poise for the exercise ai onc's best judgment. We cansign the mortai romains ta a sballow earthly grave over which we bave scant contrai at present and probably none in the future. A drive tbrough a cemetery wbich is no langer in use will show haw quickly eartbly bunial is blotted out, the grave ancd stane oblit- erated. Only when the mind is undisturbed by grief or financial uncertainlty, can this important dtity be disposed ai cailny and Clarke. Greenwood, were at L. Cryderm*n's. Mns. C.

I i A PLACE 'or jR URIAZ MAUSOLEUM CEMETERY ONTARIO intelligently. Every family deserves the protection which the ownership of Mausaleum space affers. REASONS WHY YOU SHOIJLD SECURE SPACE Because: The same business judgment demands it, that prompts you ta save money, ta carry life insurance and to make your will. Naw in the calm of health you can consider and choose that which you think is best, an almost impassibility when a death accurs and the family's mind and judgment is racked with despair. Because: Mausaleum entombment is a scientifie and civiliz. ed, as well as a sentimental mode of caring for the dead. The only way to keep a bady perfectly preserved after it bas been embalmed is by keeping maisture and dampness away from it. Because: At present the cost is no more and in mast cases not as much as ground burial when a lot, monument, steel vault and other cemetery expenses are cansidered. The building is the monument, far surpassing in size and beauty any other form af monument or memorial. Because: This mode of entambment is bath reasanable and scriptural Our Lord was laid in a rock bewn crypt and early Christians followed this custom. The wealthier class of people have used this type of burial almost exclusively for many centuries 'and most of aur national heroes have been buried in stone tambs or mausaleurns. Modern mausoleums naw make this type of burial -in reach af almost everyane. Because: When you place the familiar fornm oa any af your loved ones in thîs memorial, it will be a great comfort ta know that they are at rest in a dlean, dry, place, free fram the disagree- able features af ground burial. Because: Prepanation is wisdam's cure for worry - the only cure. Insuring the bouse does not prepare it ta burn, but pre- pares us ta live without worry as ta the ever present possibility of it burning. Providing for mausoleum protection is not prepar- ing to die, it is preparation ta live without worry as ta the ever present possibility af loved ones dying and being placed in damp cold graves. Because: It is an investment. It cannot be damaged or destroyed and will be worth'more in later years than it is now. Due ta the fact that when a Community Mausoleum is buit in a town this size, ail space is contracted for bef are it is built; there- fore space is limited ta those who bave baught, and cannot be used except by those, unless ane of the owners desires ta seli bis or her interests. THE INEVITABLE-FOR WHICII WE SHOULD PREPARE If yau desire ta be prepared and assure yourself and family a permanent and dlean resting place, yau sbould inquire for particulars about the mausoieum ta be erected in your city. The cost now is in most cases not as much as ground burial wben al expenses are considered. Reservations should be made eariy because the amount of space is limited. In the event of death between the time of securing space and the completion of the Mausoleum, the expense of renting a receiving vault will be borne by the company. In the event anyone bas relatives already buried in the ground and desires tbcmn space, arrangements can be made for the transfer. WHERE WILL YOU PLACE VOUR LOVED ONES You have the choice of anly three modes of burial. Ground burial which mneans a cold, black, damp grave. Cremation in which f ire blots out name, form and memory. Burial in a mausoleum with ils dry snaw white compartments of stone and marbie. Which shall it be? Evcntuahiy you must decide. This project is being f inanced and supervised by Elwood H. Glabb, 635 Bloor St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Phone RAndolph 5-9397. 'Anyone desiring information, Ophatographs, etc., please icontact either Mr. Glabb or Mr. Harold Salter who is the ioqF >èýpre- sentative for the Cammunity Mausoleum. There wL4Wle no obligation whatsoevcr on your part for a detailed explanation of this subject. it xiii bc an asset ta you, ta the cemetery and ta the2 comrnunity.
