Even more noteworthy in those 1851 days, she was the first black woman to do so. But strangely, this news- print pioneer has never been one of Canada's well-known historical figures. In fact, if it were not for the play about her life that is now being presented by Jim Bearden and Linda Jean Butler, it's possible that Mary Shadd . Cary would remain un- known. Fortunately, all that has changed with the arrival of - Shadd - a performance about a black American woman who came to live in Canada, Dairy honours The Holstein-Friesian Association of Canada honoured Frank Barkey of Blackstock, Ontario with a Master Breeder Shield. This honour, received February 14, 1979, is the highest achievement a Canadian Holstein breeder can win. The Altona Lea herd of Frank Barkey grew when he and his family started farming on their own, September 1969, with a nucleus of cows which Frank had kept within his father's herd. This past year the Barkeys bought a 155 acre farm on the townline between Oshawa and New- castle in Durham County. Among Frank's first cows was Roella Ada, a Good Plus - Two Star foundation cow purchased at one of Lloyd Wilson's sales for $320.00. A daughter of Houckholm Duke Burke, she is the dam of three Good Plus Roeland daughters. This family accounts for three - One Star, one Two Star cows, one Excellent and one Very Good bull and six Very Good females. by two natives of the south- ern United States who have also made their home in this part of the world. Shadd, which will be presented at the Scugog Public Library on Friday, March 9, at 7:00 p.m., is a dramatic staging of the dramatic life of this remark- able woman. The performance, which is sponsored by the public library and by the Central Ontario Regional Library System with grants from the Ontario Ministry of Culture ~and Recreation and the Ontario Arts Council, is free to all visitors. % The two performers have been working together for One of their show cows is Altona Lea Starlite Harriette (Excellent). She has won a number of championships and was winner of the Romandale Trophy for best bred and owned by exhibitor at the Peterborough Championship Show in 1976. As a five-year-old her BCA was 170-183 per cent. Sharing his achievements are his wife Donna and their five children, all of whom enjoy contributing to the farm operations and chores. Our new Master Breeder has been a member of the County Milk Committee and is Past President of the Ontario County Holstein Club as well as the Ontario County Junior Farmer's Association. He has also capably served as a 4-H leader for 13 years. Frank Barkey required 150 points as dictated by an average of 10 registrations per year. He achieved 158 points. Bred by Barkey are seven Star Brood, one Excellent and 16 Very Good cows; one Excellent and two Very Good bulls. Conway Gardens RESTAURANT Hwy. 7A - Port Perry - Ontario All you can eat!

They recently published a biography of Mary Shadd Cary, who was not only the first woman editor of 'a weekly news- paper, but was also the only woman to be commissioned as a recruiting officer in the U.S. Civil War, and one of the first black women to lecture in public. According to Linda Jean Butler "Shadd was black and beautiful and they knew it even then!" Through the dramatic reading, the use of music and other stage techniques, Shadd is created into a "fascinating theatre ex- perience about a fascinating real life character. The one-hour performance includes a question and answer session. In the words of Toronto critic William French who "reviewed the authors' work, Shadd, the performance, too, is "an intriguing look at a courageous woman who was clearly ahead of her time."
