OnSaturday, APril 18, Brian Beck of the Bent-a-Slave Preket of the "0 People", the young peoples grow) of the United church, helped Carl rake the east ,lawn and its borderi. When they started, there was still snow by the cedar hedge bet by the 'time Brian had to it, it had melted. • In the front border they found a tiny mite of a bird under a picket, apparently dead, Carl picked, it up and felt a convulsive movement so hp stood with it cupped in his hands. "I cannot stand here all nay holding this bird," he remarked to Brian, so he took it over to the base of the snowball and made a little nest in dry chestnut leaves to protect it from the wind. In a while, he went back and the bird's eyes were open. So he picked it up and came ipto the house to show it to Lucy. She wondered what he had in his cupped hands that was so precious, When he opened them, she saw for the first time the goldee Crown of that species of. Kinglet. It wriggled a bit in Carl's bands and looked up at Lucy. "What shall I do with it?" he asked. "l'ut it in a ,box in the sun room," said she, "No," he replied, "It is better outside. Its food is smalrinseets." So he took it back to the shelter in the leaves. Lucy had some reservations about Sandi the cat and his friends catching it. However, all's well that ends well! Brian went back and picked it up, She perched on his finger for awhile and then hopped to a twig of the snowball. Next time Brian went near, she flew off across the road. It was probably exhausted from the cold wind, or it might have hit the fence and been stunned. However,. Carl's warm hands probably revived it. Lucy hopes that it joined the rest of the flock or some other small birds in migration to the northern spruce belt of Canada where they nest and are invaluable in control of the spruce bug worms. The daffodils and other bulbs just jumped into bloom last week and there was so much for Carl to do in the garden that he hardly knew what to do first, One day he came in with his hands all spotted with Braco. He'd been doing some early grafting of fruit trees, a pleasure he was denied last year owing to illness. There was still more to do but the thought of fresh lettuce and radish tempted him to roto-tiller the gardens and get one row of seeds planted anyway. There were lily bulbs to be planted for Lucy and nursery stock arriving and really it seemed that he hardly knew which way to turn first. He was glad that the lawn fertilizer had been spread, and on a calm day he walked back and forth across the lawn with the cyclone grass seeder. So all was in readiness for rain. And if a migrating flock of seed-eating birds should put down, they'd have a good feed! On the cold raw days two weeks ago, Carl took all the chicken wire guards away from the fruit trees and they are stored in the barn. We didn't seem to have much damage done by rabbits, but it remains to be seen how many choice bulbs the moles and voles consumed. The latter seem to have been numerous judging by their .runways revealed in the melting snow. The moles have been known to kill well-established Rambler Roses and fruit trees by eating the roots, tunnelling deeply from out beyond the guards. Commemorative stamp honouring Louis Riel OOOOO ••• • •••• • A six-cent commemorative stamp honouring Louis Riel will be issued by the Canada Post Office on June 19. It marks the 100th anniversary of the year in which the Metis leader reached the apex of his career. Riel was born in St. Boniface, Assiniboia, on October 22, 1844. He • first rose to prominence during the Red River Uprising of 1869-70 when he became president of the Council of Assiniboia, the provisional government whose negotiations led to Assiniboia's RIEL ANb THE NORTHWEST REBELLIONS Louis Riel was the son of a respected family whose roots were deep in the Red River country. His father, Louis Riel, was a Metis and his mother, Julie Lagimodiere, was the daughter of the first white woman in the Northwest. At the time of Riel's first involvement in the Red River Settlement dispute, the governments of Canada and Great Britain were negotiating the transfer of-western territories to the control of the Canadian Government. In preparation for the land transfer, and to facilitate the growing influx of agricultural settlers from the east, the Government had already- begun surveys and road construction. 'The people of the Settlement, and particularly the Metis, regarded these events as a serious threat to their rights, their lands, and their way of life. • Under the leadership of Riel, the Metis organized a committee to negotiate with Canada and obtain guarantees for their rights. Shortly thereafter, the, English settlers, joined with the Metis to form a provisional government. In light of this united resistance on the part of the Red Rivers settlers, Canada postponed the land transfer until an agreement could be reached through negotiations with delegates from the Council of Assiniboia. The Council's terms were substantially accepted (most notably the principle of consultation before annexation) and they became the basis for the Manitoba Act of 1810, The second uprising, which began some fourteen years later grew out of essentially the same Conditions as the first. A number of 1VIetis, Some of them from the Red River Settlement, bad moved west to form a new settlement on the banks of the. South Saskatchewan River. With the continuing advance of agricultural settlers and the construction of a railway troll' the east, the Metis feared once again for the security of their land and their rights. When their representations to the Goverrinlent failed to bring reassurance, the Metis sent a delegation to Rid, now teaching School in Montana, to return to Canada and help theta, At first, Riel attempted to resolve the problem constitutionally by petitioning the Canadian Government:. Eventually,, however, he established a provisional government of his Own at Batoehe, A detachment Of North West Mounted Police was sent in to the area to quell any possible rebellion. They Were Mot by Metis forces at Duck. Lake and defeated in the opening battle of the Rebellion Of 1885. The Rebellion ended some two Months later when Government troops finally defeated Itiel's main forces at tiatoche, Ilefetences: EncyelOpedia Canacilana, Volinne 1 pages 361 to 364,- and Volume 0, pages 27 to entry into Confederation as the province of Manitoba.' In 1873, and„ agairLIn 1874, Riel was. electepo•Parliament as -th4 the distriet of Provencher. In 1875 he was banished from the country for five years. He returned to Canada from the United States in 1884 to lead another protest against the Canadian Government. By 1885 the protest had become the Northwest Rebellion, ending in defeat for Riel at Batoche. Charged with treason, Riel was tried before a court in Regina where he was convicted and sentenced to hang. The sentence was carried out in that city on November 16, 1885. Designed by Reinhard Derreth of Vancouver, B.C., the Louis Riel issue is red and blue and measures 24 mm x 40 mm. A quantity of thirty-four million will be printed in •two-colour gravure by the British American Bank Note Company of Ottawa. Collectors may order their stamps at face value through: Philatelic Service, Canada Post Office, Ottawa 8, Ontario.
