"Progress," in the form of a low-cost housing development,
threatens to destroy one of the few remaining links with Canada's
pioneer past. It is a settlement of log buildings, including two
homes, two barns and a cow shed in North York, north of Toronto,
built by Pennsylvania Dutch settlers 160 years ago. Mrs. H, H.
Hill, above, is one of the nearby residents who regrets that the
settlement has fallen into rack and ruin through the action of
weather and vandals. Many of the relics found in the buildings are
shipped to U.S. museums.

OUR PHONE NUMBER IS 171-J
The production will be a first
major effort for Mr. VanDuyn,
who has hithertofore confined his
movie experience •to 'TV ' com-
mercials and short features. He
will be remembered for the fine
film on the building of local TV
installations, shoWn over CKNX-
TV during its opening ceremonies.
Mr, VanDuyn has had consider-
able experience in short film sub,
jects in Europe, ,before coming to
Canada a few years ago.
He is expecting to. work 'on, the
film this summer as a spare time
venture apart ,,from his work at
the television station, and to have
the picture completed some time
in the fall,

For equipment Mr. VanDuyn has
approximately $3,000 worth of
sound movie cameras of his own

town,
Asked about the financial end.
of the venture, Mr. VanDuyn said
that it is being taken Care .of. •

ment and moral support of the
people in VVingham.",
Plans • for distribution of the
movie, once it has been made, arc
still indefinite, but Mr. VanDuyn
is 'hoping to have it shoWn on

Messrs. VanDuyn and Mitchell
are' also hoping that, besides giv-

their assistance in producing the
picture, A cast of actors will be
needed, for instance, and it is
hoped that some of the citizens
will volunteer, their service in this
capacity, particularly those with
acting experience. Props and
settings will also be needed for
the film, and some of these will
have to be borrowed to keep the
budget down.' ,
