Now we know
Last week we asked. if anyone
_cou L---te1.l_us --where--ma y
Corners and Westford were
located. We had an excellent
response to our query.
Robert Scott of Ashfield
Township called first to fill us in
en Coz Tie's Cornets - which he:
maintains is the correct spelling.
Over the years the name of this
small community. has been
spelled many different ways.
Mr. Scott's grandmother was ,a
Corrie from 'Scotland. His
grandparents were monied''. on
May 15,. 1853 and ,immediately
left far Canada, arriving two
months later - July 15, 1853.
They settled in Ashfield in 1856
on the farm where Mr. Scott
now resides: Hit grandfather
donated land at the end of his
farm fm school to be built.
Mr. Scott said that school is now
on the Howard/Hogan property the division line, just north of
the 10th concession.
Coraie's Corners is located on
the 10th concession, one and one
half blocks west of Mr. Scott's
farm. The legal description is • the
east half, of the north half, of lot
four.
Mr. Scott's great uncle, Peter
Corrie (his grandmother's
brother) lived on this comer for
many years. Mr. Scott said the
school fairs were held at Cor-
rie's Corners.
Helen. Kuik also called and
reminisced about the good times
that were' had in the hall at Cor -
'tie's Corners. The horses and
buggies'were stored on the lower
level and the upstairs was'used
for dancing and meetings. Mrs.
Kuik said a lot of the. younger
"z
people--/eanted-lowl to -dance. - --
Corrie's Hall. •
Her dad Jim Little played the
violin and her grandmother, Mrs.
John Little played the hannonica
and called off . square dancing.
Although she doesn't remember
it herself, she has heard that Leo
Courtney. also ' called off • for
domes. Mrs: Adam Johnstone
played the piano and Bob Nelson
was also a violinist. Another
musician that played atthe hall
was Charlie MacLeod.
`Westford
r
Ed Green was the first person
to
call ::'ars telling us where `t^
Westford was, This :community
was located three milseast of
Kinlough on the 12th conession
of Culross. The legal description.

Mr. Scott. of Ashfield was also
able to identify the area as =his
one son and daughter-in-law live
in the vicinity.

his father Thomas Henry Wall
attended school at Westford and
that at one time the community
boasteda sawmilland library.

This week our street beat reporter
posed.the question;"What is your
opinion on the proposed three way
trade bloc between Canada, U.S.
and Mexico?" 0
Dewayne Greig
Dewayne Greig stated the trade
deal %timid not be beneficial=, to
Canada. He believes Canadians
would have to take a cut inywages'
to be equal to Mexico. Mr. G eig
also reflected that it could cause
more unemployment in Canada.
On the positive side Mr. Greig,
speculates . it' may stop the chain
reaction of Canadian companies
moving to other countries.
Cheryl,Patten Cheryl Pattern.is concerned about
this trade deal because of ms's
low wages, low standards and cul-
tural differences. Mrs. . was, in
favour of free trade with the U.S.,
but is worried about a deal with
Mexico.
She s elates the deal would be
interesting from a business person's
paint`of"view and that there maybe
many possibilities for Canadian
businesses. On the other hand this
deal would be negative for the
ernploy+ces..;
Mrs. Patten is in favour of the
principle of free trade, but believes
the long term effects of a deal with
Mexico would be -negative.-
Brad Aitchison
Brad Aitchison believes Canada
would lose if we become part of a
free tradebloc. with U.S. and
He speculates the ' states would
take` Canadian resources and have
them done up cheap in'Mexico. He
feels Canada would lose jobs,
because of cheeae Mexican wages.
Mr. Aitchison stated that a lot of
businesses in Canada are controlled
by U.S. and the U.S. may move its
companies to Mexico. He canet see
the U.S. letting Canada move in.
