On Feb. 6, OPP received a hunt- ing complaint from a residence on Concession 7 in Kincardine Town- ship after a woman called to report hunters on her property.

Also on Feb. 6, OPP received a - report of a mailbox stolen from a residence on Concession 9 of Kinloss township. On Feb. 7, a hockey stick and skates worth $200 were reported stolen. They were taken from a vehicle that was left unlocked in a ditch the night before. Early settlers spoke French The guest speaker of the January meeting of The Bruce and Grey Branch of The Ontario Genealogical Society was Andrew Armitage, the chief librarian, of the Owen Sound Public Library. History shows that this area's European settlers,in the east around the Penetanguishene Peninsula, were mainly French speaking. Many of their neighbours were of Scottish origin with some of them coming via the Arctic, originally to the Selkirk settlement in Manitoba and then coming east with many of them settling in present day Simcoe County. The Queens Bush was the name given to Bruce and Grey Counties. It was heavily populated by Scottish emigrants. There was also a heavy concentration of Ger- man speaking settlers centred in the Neustadt area. After the early 1800s the popula- tion in this area began to decline. Usually the eldest son got the fam- ily farm . and the younger ones left with many of them heading west to the prairies. Gaelic was spoken in many a home, church and at school.

Ban remains in effect Bruce County School board trustees say a total ban on alcohol, tobacco and drug use on board property will remain in effect, in spite of some policing problems. Trustee Ray Fenton says the board is "biting the bullet" and standing by its ban in spite of criti- cism over enforcement. "We have taken flak from within and without over this policy," Fenton said, but he added "It is a valid and courageous policy." The review of the drug, alcohol and tobacco ban was prompted by Purchasing a vehicle Is a big decision!. Let us help you make the right one!
