Tamblyn estate. This ancient and sonîewhat tattered map not only shows ail the townships in the county but is bordered by many woodcuts showing places of business, schools and residences in the county. It also has two long iists giving dozens of names of residents in the County who subscribed to the, map and thus defrayed the cost of printing it. The map is a huge one, measuring five feet by four and one-haif feet, and was drawn by John Shier, Public Land Surveyor, assisted by John F. Ward. It was printed by George C. Tremaine, Toronto in 1861. The map is strongly made, with the paper portion glued to a heavy cloth backing and would probably stili be in very good condition if it haci been properly stored. Among t heý institutions shown on it are: St. John's Anglican Church, Bowmanville, of which 11ev. A. Macnab, D.D. was then the, Rector; the Bow- manville Town Hall, then located where the Post Office now stands; the Union Sehool on Weilington St., on the site of the present Central Public School; St. George's Church, Newcastle, of which 11ev. Henry Brent was the Rector; the Orono school buildings and the Newcastle Grammar School. Business establish- ments shown include the C. Scott and Company store, the Bowmanville Cabinet Factory on Elgin St., owned by G.P. Walter and Company; the Wellington Building showing the names of J. McLeod, Darlington Bros., and Milne, who were merchants in the buildings; F. F. McArthur, Murdoch Bros., the D. W. McLeod Iron Foundry, Enniskillen, and the dry goods, hardware and grocery store of Henry Elliott, Hampton. Included on the map were several woodcuts of the homes of prominent citizens of the county incluiug those off Mrs. John Burk and St. John H. Hutche- son, barrister, in Bow- manville; William Hilier, Enniskillen, John Smart, Justice -ýof the Peace, Port Dariing ton; Dr. W.L.Hr[ man, Orono and W T Boate, Durham Super- intendent of Fducation, Newcastle. Also shown are pictures of severail residences and places off business in Port Hope. Included in tlhe ists of subscribers to the map are the names of the ancestors of many~ prominent familles stili living in Durhanm County. Make every bar gain clear and plain, that none may afterward complain - John Ray. Last year travellers in Canada spent $276 million while Canadians travelling out off the country spent $3936 million. 1One and a haîf cents on each dollar of sales was the net profit, before income taxes, off Canadian chaîn grocery stores in 1951.
