I am indebted to Mary Lou's schoolmate Mrs. Barbara Malar- czyk, Thornton, Ontario. Here is the poem to which 1 referred and quoted two lines which I remem- bered from years ago. It is well worth studying so I hope my readers will avail themselves of this opportunity to absorb the thoughts used. "Jacques Cartier" In the seaport of St. Malo 'twas a smiling morn in May, When the Commodore Jacques Cartier to the westward sailed away., In the crowded old cathedral all the town were on their knees. For the safe return of kinsmen from the undiscovered seas; And every autumn blast that blew 'oer pinnacle and pier Filled manly hearts with sorrow and gentle hearts with fear. A year passed o'er St. Molo— again came round the day; When the Commodore Jacques Cartier to the westward sailed away; But no-tidings from the absent had come the way they went And tearful wer the vigils that many a maiden spent; And manly hearts were filled with gloom, and gentle hearts with fear. When no tidings came from Cartier at the closing of the year. But the Earth is as the Future, it hath its hidden side And the Captain of St. Malo was rejoicing in his pride. In the forests of the North— while his kinsmen Mourned his loss= he was rearing on Mount Royal the fleur-de-lis and cross; And when two months were over and added to the year, St. Male' hailed him home again, cheer answering to cheer, He told them of a region hard, iron-bound, and cold, Nor seas of pearl abounded, nor mines of shining gold; Where the wind from Thule freezes the word upon the lip, And the ice in spring comes sailing athwart the ,early ship; • Re told them of the frozen scene, until they thrilled with fear and piled fresh fuel on the hearth to make them better cheer. Out when he changed' the strain— he told how soon are east, • In early spring the fetters that hold the waters fast; How the winter causeway, broken is drifted suit to sea, Family (Conthatied"ferim Page 8)- nursing homes will drop - dras-, tically from $21,.0.01lin_ 1975 to $1,000 in 1976. Supplementary aid will also be down from $12,000 in 1975 to $9,600 this year. Special assistance - drugs, surgical supplies, moving, funerals, dental, optical, voca- tional training etc. - will drop from $13,500 in 1975 to $11,400 in 1976. The planning department expenditures will rise sharply - from $93,690 in 1975 to $137,800 in 1976. But Huron ratepayers will pay only $1,360 more in 1976 - $88,100 instead of $86,740. The bulk of the increase, will come from provincially funded community study grants - worth $42,00 in 1976. The biggest increase in cDsts is for an additional staff member plus salary hikes for present staff. printing costs (for plans etc.) will rise from $4,500 to $17,100, Land division costs are down - from' $46,250 in 1975 to $41,000 this year. Library costs have increased froth 1261,800 to $301,250. The County of Huron will provide $188,2788 and the province will' pay $107,172. Salaries are up as are employee benefits, books, supplies„ telephone and rents for 'libraries across the county. Salaries account for the lion's share of the increase in museum expenses, up from $62,350 in 1975 to $66,000 in 1976. Salaries also seem to be the reason for the increase in the reforestation budget, up a nominal $100 to $7,000. Salaries also have caused the rise in' the • development budget, up to $42,700- from $40,300 last year. An l the rills and rivers sing with pride the anthem of the free; How the magic wand of sum- mer clad the landscape to his eyes, Like the dry bones of the just when they wake in Paiadise. He told them ,clf the Algonquin braves the hunters of the wild, ' Of how the Indian Mother in the forest rocks her child; Of how poor souls, they fancy in every living thing a spirit good or evil, that claims their worship- ping, Of how they brought •their sick or maimed for him to breathe upon; . And of the wonders Wrought for them through the Gospel of St. John. He told them of the river; whose mighty current gave its freshness, for a hundred leagues to oceans briny wave; He told them of the glorious scene presented to his sight, What time he reared the cross and crown on Hochelaga'sheight; And of the fortress cliff, that keeps of Canada the key; Jacques Cartier from his perils And they welcomed back o'er the sea. - By: Thomas D'Arcy McGee 1825-1868 Since receiving the first copy of the poem I have been deeply touched by the response from the local area. This morning Mrs. Edythe Coleman brought in the whole series of the "Ontario Readers" from Primer to Book Four. Complete, a priceless series _I will read these no doubt with much nostalgia. Mrs. Jessie Gray, Edmondville, copied the poem for me and sent it. Thanks to all my kind readers for their help. More poems. Today in the mail "I received a letter and the poem from W.G.Strong Ottawa. He reads the Expositor and some- times writes in it. My thanks to Mr Strong.
