With a large map of Newfoundland to which she frequently referred, in a most interesting address, Mrs. C. E. .Peacock, brought her native land in "its past and present to those attending. "Newfoundland, once known as a land of cod, bog and fog, was England's oldest colony and new- est Dominion," said the speaker. She described the terrain and bea- uty of the coastline; the history of the island since being discovered by John Cabot, June 24, 1497 on the feast day of St, John the Bap- tist after whom the capital city, St. John was named. One got a glimpse of the hard- ship and perils attached to the cod-fishing industry in its three branches—the fishing banks, the shore and the Labrador fisheries and of the struggle, for survival against the elements; fire (and enemy attacks in the. past). In telling of the Grand Banks fishing grounds where fishermen from Newfoundland, -Canada, Un- ited States and France have gone for generations; Mrs. Peacock said: "Schooners carrying 12 to 22 men GREY-BRUCE - Hereford Breeders FALL SALE To be Held in the Coliseum Fair Grounds OWEN SOUND Friday, October 18 at 1.30 p.m. 15 Males and 10 Females- The males have been inspected and eligible for government grant. 41b PURINA MINERAL HELPS FILL DEFICIENCIES Many Canadian soils, and the crops grown on_them, are deficient in one or several' essentiblf bone„ blood, nerve and milk-making minerals-.

The men would fish in flat bottomed boats called dor- les. Fogs and storms gornetinies arise and the men in their dories are unable to return to their scho- oners, In this way many of these brave men and bold fishermen lose their lives and leave behind' sorrowing widows and orphans, When the men sailed for the Labrador coast in June, they would take their families with them and engage in fishing until October when they would return with their catch to their homes. However, very few, if any, go to the Labra- dor to-day, "The people are divided almost equally into' three reltgious den- ominations, Church of England, Roman Catholic and the United Church of Canada. The, member- ship of other denominations is comparatively small. The church is the main attraction in the ouf- ports and small villages. Most churches have two services on the Sabbath. In the absence of the minister, the laymen carry on. They have no problem about those evening services beeause they are well attended. "Education on the island' is con- ducted on a denominational basis. There are few public schools ex- cept at some of the larger centers. The college in the city has regist- ered 1,000 students this year. The day schools are the responsibility of the church congregation in a great many instances, the financ- ing of which must be cared for by the same organizations that are called upon to meet the assess- ment to the Missionary and Maint- enance fund, .the -collection of- the minister's salary and the -const- ruction and upkeep of churches and manse. 300 schools with a tot- al of 700 classrooms are presently operated. by United Church boards of education. "CHANGE is written in large letters across the land, but not decay. The outlook appears bright- er in many ways than it'has ever been. The growth in population and the moving of the people from the small fishing settlements and coastal_ villages are creating the need for more churches and schools. And in all this the work of the Home Missions must contin- ue to play an important part. The fleet of little boats still serves the coastal missions.. The ministry of the church means much to the -people who dwell in these lonely places. Mrs. Peacock told of an ex- perience after her marriage in their first charge. They had bought a new motor boat, for most trav- el was by water, and were just taking it home. She was steering while Mr. Peacock was attending the engine. They struck a rock, There was no chance of getting to shore as the high cliffs rose straight up out of deep water. They saw a fishing smack and hailed it, Taken in tow, they just reached the harbour when the mot- -or boat sank. And another narrow escape was 45 years ago in March when her oldest brother was married. The bridal party was' going from! the bride's. -betties to the groom's home for the reception in an open dory. Am igefloe from the north packed into the harbour and the rowboat got caught in it. The party almost froze in the open boat from 6.30 pan. to 4 a.m. when they were able to make land. The speaker pointed out that this newest prow/tee has much to offer Canada. It is a real vac- ation land, good fishing, recreat- ion, beautiful scenery, good hos- pitality, rest and quietude. She closed by reciting the Ode to Newfoundland. After the closing of the program, the ladies retired to the basement where lunch was served, Sad, oft-repeated. explaOation tor bereaved parents in every province Of Canada in 1956.; "We just left the house for a minute , RAILWAY TIME TABLE.
