A Ray Gilbert, a small town boy who caught and exported catfish to the U.S. when he was 12 and worked on Lake Erie fishing boats during school vacations, has joined the Ontario Department of Tourism and Information as outdoor writer. His appointment by the Minister, Hon. James Auld, constitutes an important part of the department's continuing program to promote the tourism potential of this province's vast hunting and fishing regources. A nut about hunting and ,!,fishing since adolescence, Allay., was ,horn, in Fort MOLead, arid raised in the Lake trie resort village of Port Stanley, Ont. He entered the newspaper profession following journalism school and worked for five years on southwestern Ontario dailies as a reporter-photographer. At the St. Thomas Times-Journal he initiated. a column, "The Outdoor World," and latterly he served as industrial editor and public relations representative for the Steel Company of Canada Ltd. in Hamilton. Stationed at the department's publicity branch in Toronto, Ray's duties include maintaining a close liaison with writers for leading magazines and newspapers in the U.S. and Canada, accompanying top international outdoor writers and editors on story-gathering How :did they live a hundred years. ago?

I began to watch her .like a itawk.. Finally one morning; I noticed her peering out the. window about 8:45 a.m 'saw a group of her friends approaching our house, f saw them walk right by, chatting happily . together but never glancing in or stopping to see how our daughter was feeling. Great tears welled, up in my daughter's eyes, I. knew immediately this was at least part of the problem. . - That afternoon I called her pals together. I laid the whole thing out before them and asked them to fill me in as to why my daughter had been blacklisted by the clan. There was an avalanche of answers . . . all of them. based entirely on hearsay. It was evident thay my daughter was being chastised for • something that .she was supposed to have said and done, None of the girls- really knew if the charge was true. None really seemed to care a great deal. They heard- the story, they accepted' the story and my ,daughter 'was suffering Today is my daughter's birthday. Yes, 12 years ago today I wasn't in any mood to write a column. I was very busy in, the production of something other than words. I'll. never forget that day as long as I have my faculty to remember. My daughter weighed in a nine and half pounds about 12 noon and by the 2 p.m. visiting hours, I had a caller. I suppose this ?,visiter meant well but she uspet me, thoroughly. She brought me some choice gossip about a chap who had become involved with another woman while his dear sweet little wifey stayed home with a new baby. She suggested, perhaps in a jocular fashion, that my husband might very well be indulging in a similar hanky-panky at this very instant. Normally I would have pooh-poohed the whole idea, but I wasn't normal that clay. I had been to the depths and back that clay and I was weary and weak and weepy. I began• to cry. I moaned that I wouldn't know what to do if my up-to-now faithful spouse would ever leave me for some other sweet young thing. Fortimately my 'room-mate (who didn't know me from a hill of. beans), came to illy rescue. She told my friend to either change the conversation topic or get out. She chose to leave and I was relieved beyond measure. I've never approved of gossip but after that day, I hated it even more. Gossip can ruin a perfectly innocent soul and though I admit it is tempting to share in the nasty pastime of repeating rumors, it isn't a wise hobby to pursue; I rediscovered this fact just a few days ago. My daughter, like all girls of that age I suppose, was having a hayday exchanging -stories with her friends. I tried to warn her about gossip but she assured me that everything that she heafd and ultimately spread around some more, was "gospel truth".

Sure it was a childish affair — but was it? flow many adults are miserable for similar reasons? Hew many people are caught in their own traps? I expiained to the girls that if my daughter was guilty of spreading false information ' so was each of them, I remidded them that I had overheard each one of them, in turn, raking the absent ' members of the group over those ugly, stinging coals of gossip. It was a way of life in, that circle and it wasn't fair to oust one member just because she had happened to stretch the rules somehow or other. Then I went home and had a heart-to-heart with my daughter. I told her she had been given the cold shoulder treatment because she had become the "hate object" of the week. That never would have happened, I told her, if she had kept a bridle on her tongue. On doctor's orders, I shipped my daughter off for a holiday to another part of the county, I'm hoping that when she returns, she will have had time to think about the errors of her ways and come to the same conclusion that I reached a long time ago — gossip creates problems where none existed previously so, down with gossip, forever and ever, amen. ceremonies, Canadian Wildlife Service personnel demonstrated wildlife management techniques. They banded ducks; captured small birds with mist nets; showed how crops can be protected by the use of bird scaring devices; and collected from a creek samples of fish populations, using an electric shock technique.

The CWS interpretation program tries to demonstrate and explain nature using as few gadgets as possible. Visitors also saw an underwater viewing window now being built on the marsh. Future plans for the centre include an observation tower and a long boardwalk into the marsh. The centre will prepare special, programs to suit the needs of particular groups, such as classes of school children,, outdoor writers, or amateur naturalists clubs. After it closes to the general public on Labour Day, the centre will remain open to groups on a reservation basis. safaris, and providing articles and bulletins for the outdoor media on a regular basis. John Hurt — Pamela Franklin Gaily Bawdy Comedy People et Upper Canada Village are frequently asked to Answer cipestions from students working on a studies project about `Pioneer Life'. 'They have long iists of questions such as: What did they eat a hundred years ago? Were their dishes like ours? Did they use forks? One is first tempted to remark that a hundred years ago — two years after Confederation — most of the inhabitants of upper cariada feat pioneer days were far behind them. Yet as the frontier was pushed north and west, primitive conditions did exist in newly opened settlements even into the present 'century. It would be possible at any time during the 1800's to find one family in very comfortable circumstances, according to the standards of the time, while a fe,Ar miles away, beyond the clearings, a newer arrival battled the forest to gain a meagre living. The Loyalists who left all their possessions behind- in the American colonies when they came here in 1784 as the first settlers suffered incredible hardship during the early years. IV the early 1800's many of the families of these first settlers had enough land under cultivation to supply their own needs and to barter for those things they could not produce. They sold potash, timber and excess land and.. invested the money in thriving mills and other enterprises. Homes typified by the French-Robertson House at Upper Canada Village were built along the St. Lawrence. Elegant furnishings, silver and porcelain enhanced meals which included such imported delicacies as chocolate,. loaf sugar, anchovies, China tea and French wines as well as an abundance of garden fruits and vegetables in season, As new immigrants came to Upper Canada, the land available for settlement lay ever farther back from the river. There were few roads. Over rough trails only the most essential articles could be carried. These were tools, blankets, a, kettle or two, frying pan, a supply of salt pork and enough flour to last . until the first harvest of Indian corn. The forest they considered their enemy. Yet it supplied logs for shelter and warmth, wild game, berries, mushrooms, ferns„ fish from woodland streams, roots and bark from which substitutes for coffee and ale . could be made; all these added variety to their basic diet of salt. meat, cornmeal mush, rye and injun bread, baked 'beans and pumpkin sauce, The latter made from pumpkins which, like corn and beans, could be grown among the stumps, was dried for winter use. The sauce might be made with maple sugar, their only sweetener. From maple syrnp, vinegar could be made but not in sufficient quantity to make pickled foods to the extent that was clone later, A crock of brandy might be kept to which were added any friy,,As available as they came in season such as wild plums. Their tableware was mostly wood, whittled out as the men rested before the fire after their day's work, •or turned on a primitive lathe rigged up on a bent sapling. To this might be added horn spoons and tumblers, also home made, and even some crude pottery if clay was available in a nearby stream. Tin spoons and white and blue dishes were a hoped for luxury when an infrequent trip to. the nearest community was made by the man of the house perhaps with black salts to barter for a few 'store bought' articles. These are the contrasting conditions which might be found a few miles apart at any time during the most of the nineteenth century in Upper Canada. They make the "question, "How did they live?" not a simple one to answer.

Located four miles east of Midland on Ontario's Georgian Bay, the centre is a single-storey brick and glass building containing ' a display hall, a theatre and work-rooms. The building and landscaping cost about $500,000. Twenty-five hundred acres • of surrounding woodlands and marsh are owned for the most part by the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests.
