MRS. KEN ELLIGSEN'
/ The bus trip had been long
talked about in Pow- Wow, and
eventually came true. We were
to visit Brantford, and try to
learn-something of the peoples
who had lived in this land long
before the white man arrived.
Late in the morning our group
of Brownie travellers, and moth-
ers of some, arrived at 'Chiefsw-
ood'-E, of Brantford - the home
of Canada's Poetess - E. Pauline
Johnson. This lovely house and
grounds were built by Pauline's
father, a Mohawk Chief G. H, M.
Johnson, as a wedding gift to
this wife, the former Emily How-
ells. An interesting number of
well known people and travel-
lers from near and far accepted
hospitality under this roof. FOr
many years during the earlier
part of this century the home had
been unoccupied until recently
the members of the Six Nations
Indians, within whose reserve
it was built, restored the build-
ing and interior as a memorial
to Pauline Johnson and her fam-
WHY IS THE
PRINTED WORD
SO IMPORTANT
IN •
ADVERTISING?
1:1 It's Permanent
0 It's Believable
0 It's Clear
The Newspaper is the
GREATEST ADVERTISING
MEDIUM for many rea-
sons. One of them is that
it carries the power of
the printed word. People
believe in a message that
is permanent. ••• one that
is written. They under-
stand it better. Also the .
newspaper, because 'of its
perman nce, lets the read-
er choose is or her own
time for absorbing the
message. And once put
down it can always be
picked up again. The mes-
sage that lives is the one
that is written in the
newspaper.

including peace pipes, head-
dresses, turtle shell rattles, and
many other items of historical
Indian origin.
Besides these we saw bicycle type
roller skates, and items origin-
ating from the early days' of
Brantford, which was at.one time
a trading post. It was of interest
to see' a display of the bookt
written by Thomas G: Costain,
and some of his mementoes. He
was born in Brantford, This
Museum is certainly a place
worth visiting and it was heard
said that "a return visit with the ,
family would soon take place".
By the time we had finished
with the Museum everyone was •
ready to go home. The visits to
the Bell Museum, and the Alex-
ander Graham Bell Homestead
and Iroquois Village were post-
poned until "another time", Some church. Much'later stained glass

ley. Outside the Chapel, the
only Indian Royal Chapel in the
world, the Brownies seemed in-
terested in the, names and dates
on the graves, and questioned
the English sounding names. For-
tunately we had an able guide -
a lady told that upon Bap-
tism into the Christian faith an
Indian often took the name of
his sponsor. She told us that all
the graves there were those of
Indians. One large enclosure
was for Joseph Brant, TheGreat
Mohawk War Chief, who led, in
1784, the Six Nations people
from their original home to the
grant of lands along the Grand
River given for their continued
loyalty to the British Crown dur-
ing the Colonial Wars. At the
foot of this tomb was a pine tree
planted in J;919 by the Prince of
Wales (now the Duke of Windsor).
A great boulder in memory of
Pauline Johnson rests nearby.
Our visit next was to the Jos-
eph Brant MernOrial in a lovely
square in 13rantford. A bronze
memorial showing Indians in na-
tive dress and with various wea-
pons. Nearby was the new Brant-
ford Municipal Building - extrem-
ely modern in design and imag-
ination. From the square we walk-
ed to the Brant Historical Museum,
Inside were more mementoes of
Pauline' Johnson; articles on loan •
by the peoples of the Six Nations-
Although designated an
Historic Site, it seems that
maintenance by admission fees
charged to visitors is the only
form of income for the building.
The bus then took us to Mo-
hawk Park, just inside Brantford,
to a wooded picnic site on a
bluff overlooking the Grand Riv-
er - a wide, peaceful river giv-
ing the'impression of dep/h.
This was the river upon which
Pauline Johnson used to canoe
so often. After lunch we formed
the Brownie Ring because Tawny
Owl, Mrs. Jackie Melanson,
found a Tweenie hiding behind
a large tree. The Tweenie
wanted to become a Brownie so
after answering some questions•
she was led to Brown Owl, Mrs.
Vivienne Newnham, who heard
the Promise from the Tweenie,
Terry Marshall, and enrolled her
as a Brownie. Many interest
badges earned during the last
few months were presented. So
many, in fact, that Mothers
helped to pin the badges on their .
daughters' uniforms. Michelle
