In my immediate area it' ineans flood control for, after the disaster of Hurricane Hazel, this became of paramount im portance. To the south and west of my home town, Aurora, there are other ^‘authorities,” now amal gamated, with, interesting ob jectives. As I have dedicated a number of my columns in this Centennial year to Canadian history I thought it appropriate that I should write about Pioneer Village, "the interesting h. i«s t o r i c a 1 development for Which Humber Valley Conser vation Authority ’ can be given first credit. In 1954 it acquired 14 acres of land at the north-west cor ner of Steeles Ave,nue and Jane Street, on which stood a Penn sylvania German log barn built- in 1S09. The restoration and opening of this building, now the Dalziel Museum, marked the beginning tot a program which has progressively devel oped to preserve the cultural heritage of our ancestors for present and future generations. On February 17, 1957, the Humber Valley, Don Valley, Etobicoke-Mimico and R.D.H.P. (Rouge, Duffin, Highland,JPettli- coat streams) conservation au thorities merged to become the Metropolitan Toronto and Re gion Conservation Authority. In 1958, the historic sites pro gram was extended by the ac quisition o<f the Sitong complex of buildings as a nucleus for a restored village. On June 2, 1960, Pioneer Village, with seven buildings in addition to the Dalziel Museum, opened to visitors. The period 1793 to 1816 in our pioneer history in Upper Canada saw migrants treating northward by land and water. The newcomers arrived mostly from pioneer communities in the United States and were representatives of every level of society. Among them were 'pro fessional men, artisans, labor ers and farmers. Some were of United Loyalist stock, British regulars and Pennsylvania .Ger mans. To relate the religious perse cutions which became unbear able in southern Germany for these early Canadian pioneers of Germanic origin would con sume considerable space. 1 only refer to it because it was1 itiheir need to escape 'and find their way to ’the United Estates or, specifically,' the State of Penn sylvania and the subsequent American Declaration of Inde pendence in 1776, which in spired large numbers of them to move northward into Upper Canada. Among them were Syl vester and Barbary Stong and their eight-year old son, Daniel. At the age of 20/ Daniel Stong enlisted in His Majesty’s Forces and saw service in the War of. 1812. In 1816 he married Elizabeth Fisher, daughter of ■John’.and Catharine Fisher, an other Pennsylvania German couple. Together Daniel and Elizabeth set forth to trans form the one-hundred-acre tract which she had inherited, from a wilderness into a productive farm. The first, task was to fell the huge trees, remove some of the stumps and make a small clearing ready for the. building of a home. Within 16 years the 'Stangs had constructed six separate buildings, all of hand hewn ..........................—...................... y ‘conserva- timbers- Tltese included two hames, a stack barn (no longer Standing)-‘a gmin-bam, a. pig gery and a ’smoke house.

Your Color Preference Clue to Personality Dp you have strong likes or. dislikes for colors? • Consider your answer carefully because' it may reveal a gr-qiat deal, about the kind of person you Ore and may even express your inner feelings and emotions! It is* now a recognized' fact’ that color ,i$ a fascinating clue to human personality and an enterprising paints dealer who’s job is to sell color decided ’ to promote it through the psychm logical approach, with window displays, "We know that everyone en joys being an amateur psycho analyst” says Bob Latella of’ Channers Paint and Wallpaper Limited in London “but We fed no idea how successful our pro motion would be. [We. featured the color red the first week and it was a traffic stopper. “Our guide was a book "Color and your Personality” by Faiber Birren and we printed the an alysis-on a 30” x 40” showcard and made it the focal point of the window. It read, “Red is the color of action, love, courage and sin. If you like it, you prefer, or yearn for, the impulsive life. You are likely to be outspoken, 'athletic and to be somewhat fickle. You probably experience many ups and downs, have a quick tem per and judge things without too much deliberation. First impressions count with you and ■you probably are heartily 'liked by some and disliked by others. '“If you dislike red', some thing must be wrong with. you. You hate the ‘rat race’ of life, and long for security. It may be that you feel life has passed you by, 'that your earnest ef forts have not borne fruit. So you are upset and would seek escape from yourself as well as from the world. You will never find complete peace, however. “The ^entire window Was dressed in red. We displayed the C-I-L “Ciltone” satin latex r------ - ----------------------; ' paint .cans that have ‘a bright red and white label and be cause there are more than a thousand colors .in this particu lar line. Then we covered the floor of the show window with a small red carpet, hung a. pic ture which was predominantly red and framed it with a red mat and white moulding. As a finishing touch we included a small pot-bellied stove and an tiqued it in red. “Passers-by were so enthusi astic about the 'red' window,' we followed through with win dows highlighting other colors, each time pointing out the per sonality traits of people who either like or dislike the fea tured color. All Of the colors became controversial '. because people liked to associate them selves with the -good points about the color, but not with the bad points. “Yellow-lovers were delight ed to hear that they were prob ably high-minded and ifnteiliec- tual, but yellow-baiters, weren't so happy when they were de scribed as down-to-earth in nature but tending to reject things fanciful, abstract or pre sumptuous. “It pleased those, who like green to be told ‘you are fresh, natural and friendly in nature’, but those Who disliked green took exception when it was sug gested that ‘it is difficult for you to find smooth and easy roads through life, and you re.- sent others who seem to get along without much difficulty’. We featured a total of eight different color analyses and we believe they encouraged women — who generate most home decorating projects — to regard color as a means of self-expres sion. We supplied many of our customers with printed copies. Now, instead of wondering whether shocking pink walls will match the drapes, they con sult their psyche! It’s more fun!
