i ' t. ©rono OTeefelp Stmea Second Class Mail Registration Number 000368 : . Published Every Wednesday at the office of Publication v r Main Street, Orono : RoyC. Forrester, Editor *-■» m Where does one turn? A statement this week by Pollution Probe that incineration of garbage will only add to air .pollution again brings to the front the problem problem of disposing of waste. It has been seen and demonstrated that land fill is certainly not the solution and as would be expected the burning of waste just adds to another area, the air, further pollution. The release recently of a paper jinking water, air and land land pollution to the food chain of which we have often thought to be clear of containments give some idea of the scope of the problem facing the world over. Certainly there are no easy answers and if those now promoting promoting incineration feel it is the answer to all our problems they had better better guess again. One does not expect miracles but then a further recent report from the federal government points out that, we as Canadians, do rate a low effort as to any advancement in any advancement as to protection of the environment. Conservation in all avenues could well be one factor that could help . . . conserve in packaging, use of energy, etc. to reduce the mountains mountains of waste we create which moves into further pollution of land, water and air. More emphaisis must also be placed on recylcing. GRADUATES FROM DURHAM COLLEGE Congratulations extended to the following graduates of Durham College.

ORONO CHIMNEY FIRE The Orono Fire Station of the town of Newcastle answered a call to a sub-division house on Monday evening where a chimney had caught fire. No damage reported. On Saturday night the department was called to a Van fire at Mosport where the Van was completely destroyed. In speaking with Terry Hardy, fire chief at Orono, the licence plates and B&I number plate had been removed so ownership could not be determined. He stated this is often the case with such fires over the past few years. Kendal News WHAT MAKES A CHURCH Beautiful is the large church, With stately arch and steeple; Neighbourly is the small church, With groups of friendly people;; Reverent is the old church, With centuries of grace; An*i a wooden church' or a stone church Can hold an altar place.. And whether it be a rjclYctiurch Or a poor church anywhere, Truly it is a great church If God is worshipped there. Sunday, June the first turned out to be a fine dàÿ for the dedication of the beautiful window "To the Glory of God and in favour of the Carscadden arid Elliott families.* Pioneer families of this area." The event was well attended. After the first • hymn Mrs. A. Cathcart welcomed the visitors many of whom had new been in. this church before but their parents or grandparent worshipped here each Sunday.. She ■ said, This is Pioneer Sunday, what is a pioneer? Chad Switzer made a good,reply. "Yes, a pioneer is, "One who goes ahead." Abraham was a pioneer. The Robert Carscadden family were the very first pioneer family to come to Kendal in 1833, Others followed soon after. The Wannan family took the farm to the west, the Gilroy family took the farm to, the south all three farms are now Provincial Parks. By a coincidence all three memorial windows are on the north side of our church. Mrs. Cathcart said, "One night •Robert Carscadden's barn burned in Ireland. They decided to build their new barn in the new land of tall pine trees; "free, for the cutting*. They took passage on a tall sailing ship. It must have been the wrong time of year; perhaps November the first, for they ran into into contrary wind'd, storm after strom hit them, then a hurricane blew them almost back to the old land. She described the ocean voyage and the funeral at sea; but after 23 weeks on the water they arrived arrived at Crooked Creek. Then she told the story of Eliza Carscadden a grand daughter of the first Robert Carscadden. She married married Wm. Elliott in 1850 and came to live two miles north of Kendal. She sent word to all the farmers north of her home to take an extra log to the mill and when it was sawn, to pile the lumber at her gate. In the spring they called bees and soon a little church was erected where the cemetery is today. But the land was light and it blew into piles of sand. The floods came and washed washed out gullies then a forest fire burned the rest of the pine. So the big families moved, to the Prairies. In the Quantrill fàpiily there were ten, six went to the Prairie. In the Cathcart family there were fifteen, ten went to the Prairie. So in 1897 the Elliott thurch united with the Kendal Methodist church. They took it down and drew the lumber to the Kendal Church and built it up again as our Sunday School. She also spoke of the Pioneer work being being done by Rev. Ann Foster at Fort St. John in Northern B.C. at the head of the Peace River. Later on in the service we had a fine sermon by Rev. Bryan Ransom on "Thy will be done. This is the inscription inscription on the window below the picture of our Lord kneeling in prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. His scripture reading was St. Luke 7:1-10 Jesus is seeking to de the will of his Father in Heaven. We too are seeking to do the Father's will and like the Cen- turian have faith to know we are following an all powerful God. Each guest was given a printed • two page history entitled, The Carscadden and Elliott Pioneer Story, which goes back to the army brought from Holland by William Prince of Orange. Among the. guests were Billy Darlington of Kingston who kept store in Kendal for years also his sister Mrs. Helen Glover and husband husband Jack of Oshawa. Their grarid- < father was Dean Patterson a descendant of the original family, Robert Carscadden and his wife Flora Dean wlm was buried at sea."" There was Mr. and Mrs. Earl Fowler and son Mr, Robert Fowler all of Oshawa. Earl's mother (Mrs. Jas Fowler) was my first teacher in Kendal school when I was five years old. Harry (Pete) Mercer was in the entrance class that year and Sunday he was in kendal church with Mrs. Mercer chatting to all his friends. Mrs, Muriel Fox and son Mr. John Fox both of Peterborough were there. She was a great grand daughter of Dean Carscadden of Meaford who was eight years of age when his mother was buried at sea. Mr. and Russel Crews of Fraser- ville were there, and Mrs. Mary Ar-. chibald of Peterborough and son Mr. Reg Fowler of Peterborough. Russel Crews and Mary Archibald are brother and sister, their great grandmother was Eliza Elliott. Marjorie McGee of Bowman ville was there. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Foster of Bowmanville were there. Mr. and Mrs. L. Dunbar of Peterborough Peterborough and Alfred Elliott of Toronto were there.

Mr. and Mrs. Bryan Cameron neighbours of Jack Carscadden came for the first time to Kendal Church. I forgot to state that two of the special guests were Mr. and Mrs. Bill Reid. Bill's grandfather was John Elliott . His great grandmother was Eliza Elliott. Their daughter Elva Reid was also there. Mrs. Eileen Reid of Bowmanville was an honoured guest. The annual Orange Church Parade to Kendal Church is June 15 at 11:15 a.m. I Married the Klondike (cont) By Laura Berton The clergymen on board made up a fairly good cross section of the Church in the North, as I was to'seë it in the years that followed. There were the Rev. Mr. Turk- ington, the Presbyterian minister for Dawson, jolly, earnest and ' thirty-eightish, and the Rev. Mr. Adam, the Methodist minister for Dawson, bland and moon-faced. Both were replacing the incumbent minister of their respective parishes and both were, in their turn, shortly to be replaced by other ministers. The Protestant ministers in Dawson, as I was to discover, came and went like flocks of migrating; geese in the fall. (The Roman Catholic priests on the other hand, hung on for decades). It was often said that the White Pass railway and steamship line existed entirely on fares sold to the ever-changing procession ••of ministers, nurses, teachers and mounted policemen. An Anglican missionary on board was Mr. Routsley a stout, squat man with a great walrus moustache and throaty English voice, who had the feeling of the North about him. Before the voyage was over I had learned something of his story. He had arrived arrived at Fort Simpson as a carpenter in 1887 but had soon become ordained ordained and had gone as a missionary missionary among the Indians to other settlements in the north-Fort Laird, Fort McPherson, Fort Simpson, Simpson, Fort Norman and Fort Yukon. Like so many men who live lonely and inaccessible lives in the wilderness his tale had a whisper of minor tragedy about it. He had a sweetheart in England who had promised promised to marry him and whom he had sent for when he moved to Fort M'cPherson on the Arctic Circle. She had come obediently making the long arduous trip by boat and train and steamer, only to find on arrival, that she no longer knew the man she was engaged to. "Who is it?" she asked in dismay as she stood on the deck of the river, steamer and looked down at the figure on the bank with his ragged beard, his unkempt clothes and his ditty pipe. And the answer came back that this was the man she hat} promised to marry. Marry him she did for she would not go back on her Word, and the two of them lived together in a strange uneasy partnership partnership for all of the years that I knew them. How often* was 1 to see this tale repeated with minor variations variations on its theme. , (continued .till they reach Dawson .City) KENDAL SU.NDAY SCHOOL PICNIC - Sunday May 25/86 Junior Running Race: 1st -Dwayne Walker 2nd - Jason Mercer.'
