Parchment MARGARINE Cliiiiton News-Record, Thursday, August 31, 1967 Antique booklet pokfes1 fun at old time Canadian politicians Percy Brown, Clinton, has discovered an interesting book printed in 1886entitled “A Cari­ cature History of Canadian Pol­ itics”. Dedicated to His Ex- cellency the Earl of Dufferin, then Viceroy of India and be­ fore that Governor-General of Canada, the book contains over 200 full page cartoons depict­ ing statesmen Of the day in. volved in various political hot potatoes. Intended as a sketch of Can­ adian political history from 1841 to 1879, the introductory paragraph states: “From, the date of the English conquest of Quebec and the Treaty of Paris down to the year at which the present brief historical sketch opens, the history of Canada is a story of unrest and agitation. The old-world simplicity and pious content- ment of the French habitant was intruded upon by the advent of the more enterprising Briton and ere long the inevitable struggle began.” “The French Canadian, whose language, laws and rel­ igion had been specially reser­ ved to him by the Treaty, was not unnatualty apprehensive of the consequences of English domination, and with a new­ born energy he awoke to the defence of his right. His Eng- lish fellow-colonist,having dis­ covered that the governmental arrangements were too prim­ itive and narrow for the com- fort of one who had formerly lived under the British con. stitution, lost no time in com- mencing the agitation for re. form.” In a cartoon entitled “Town, ship’s C olonization -aS ettler ’’ there is a tall French-Canadian woodsman being introduced to the English gentry as “one settler, sare, for your town­ ship, sare, on your farm, sare.” The townshipper replies, “Oh, that’s your settler, eh? Why there’s lots of them chaps here already, — in the marshes!” Obvious reference here is the comparison of the newly- ar rived Frenchman to the frogs supposed to have arisen from the alleged French national taste for frogs’—legs as a table delicacy. Another cartoon shows Bri­ tannia talking very seriously with her young daughter, Miss Canada. In the background lurks a rather ominous lookingfellow wearing striped trousers and a star-studded yest and look- Ipg very much like modern day caricatures of Uncle Sam. Mrs. Britannia asks wor­ riedly, “Is it possible, my dear, that you have ever given your epusin Jonathan any encourage- . ment?” Replies an indignant Miss Canada, “Encouragement! Cer­ tainly not, mamma. I have told him we can NEVER be united.” Mr. Cameron, MP for South Huron in the Alexander Mac­ kenzie government of 1874 came under study In a cartoon de­ picting Old Madame Senate standing in the Upper House doorway and tossing out Cameron’? bill for the r©-dis­ tribution of the electoral div- ision composing his riding. In the picture, Mackenzie stands aghast holding his “Low­ er House Measures” bag while old Madame Senate snarls, “I say, Mr. Lower-House Mac­ kenzie,who’s running this coun- try anyhow?” Inscribed bn the door above the Madame’s head are the words: ‘Notice — all bills must pass through this house before becoming law.’ •In the background, a voter observes, “Alexander, my boy, the Old Lady still lives, don’t she?” “Confederation, the much- fathered youngster” was apart. icularly . appealing cartoon showing a chubby, knowing little girl surrounded by George Brown, Sir. F. Hincks, Wil­ liam MacDougall and Sir John A. Macdonald. . The men -all claim* to be the child’s father and Brown ex­ claims, “Don’t it recognize its real daddy?” Leadership training school There was plenty of help­ ful information handed put last Thursday and Friday at the training school in Wesley—Wil- 11? United Church, Clinton, for leaders and assistant leaders who will be teaching the “Ac­ cessories for your Bedroom” course to. 4-H homemakin^ clubs this winter. Miss Sharon Carroll, Huron County home economist .demon­ strated the art of sewing lovely bedspreads, cushions and dres­ ser scarves to brighten and beautify the sleeping quarters of every girl Who takes the course. Keeping in .mind that more than one daughter in a single family may enroll fdr the course Miss Carroll told the ladies present that girl? may choose to make either a bedspread and dresser scarf or a dpesger scarf and two smaller items such as a wastebasket cover and a chair cushion cover or k a pair of throw cushions. In this way, Miss Carroll noted, two sisters enrolled in the course who are sharing a bedroom would be able to com­ pletely outfit their room with, out duplicating articles or add­ ing unnecessary expense, “The leaders have talked quite a bit about color”, ex­ plained Miss Carroll, pointing to a huge flip chart. The home economist also supplied each woman at the sessions with ■ swatches of suitable materials for the project, each labelled with suggestions for their use and /color-co-ordinated for ideas. The women, most of whom have had some experience in sewing, were representing Wo­ men’s Institutes from'this part of Huron County who are spon­ soring the course for home­ making clubs in their own dis­ tricts. Ladies from Tiger Dun. lop, Londesboro, Clinton, Tucker smith, Holmesville and Varna attended the Clinton school.
