SCHMID'S JEWELLERY AND CHINA LUCKNOW I OWNERS — W. JOS. AND DEAN E. AGNEW 20 YEARS AGO JULY 1955. Two schools in Ashfield Town- ship were being closed ,and Ashfield School Area Board was calling for tenders to transport these pupils to adjacent schools, Sheppardton school pupils to Port Albert and Kintail pupils to Hemlock City. Inability of the Board to obtain sufficient qualified teachers for area schools was a factor in the closing. A proposal to erect a mausoleum for winter entombment was being discussed by South Xinloss Cemet- ery. Board. Alex MacDonald of Ashfield was • presented with his fifty year jewel by Old Light Lodge in recognition of fifty years in Masonry. 40 YEARS AGO JULY 1935 Dr. J. M.

Finlay, By The Country Mouse Do 'you remember years ago, when the village girls used to, go to the cemetery for a pleasant Sunday afternoon walk? I was reminded of those days when I was reading a fairly new book - "Early Ontario Gravestones" by Carole Hanks. There was actually not much to read, Mit it was full of photographs of early gravestones and had good information about what Miss Hanks calls funerary art. 'I shall take a closer look at the carving and ornamentation on old gravestones after this. Most of the pictures are from cemeteries along the southern fringe .of Ontario, although there are a few in Bruce Peninsula.. It is just, another thing to look at on 'the rare occasions when we find some time to 'stand and stare'. Did'you ever find yourself a very small minority in a group of peOple of a different colour, language or fashion? Several years ago, I got an idea of what it must feel like when Ernie and I attended a meeting of the West Indian Club at Toronto University. There were three white people there. It gave us a peculiar sensation. I have just finished a book about a small group of 'different' people in Ontario. The book. "A String of Amber" by. Blodwen Davies, and the people are the Mennonites, Dunkers and Amish. Miss Davies calls these people The Defenceless Christians because they would not fight to defend their rights and because they were different; they were harrassed and persecuted and pushed around from one hiding place to another, not just for a few generations but for centuries. Their story certainly goes back to the beginning of the Christian Era and there are legends that peace- loving people were living in small groups, probably in Asia even before the 'time of Christ. Sometime in the 17130's groups of the so-called` Pennsylvania Dutch 5 , Entrance results at Lucknow Public School named .the following successful students: Marjorie Al- lin, Gertrude Brown, Robert Burt, Helen Boswell, Russell Button, Kathleen Carruthers, Len Conley, M. , Johnston, D.

BUYS AT SEPOY DAYS SIDEWALK SALE Came to North America and found peace and security under the rule of Britain - in the American Colon- ies. After. the American Revolu- tion, many came to Canada and there were settlements in Welland County (some of my own ancestors settled there), Waterloo County; and York County. Their communit- ies were closely knit with their own customs, beliefs, dress, and lang- uage. The Dutch in,the name was most likely an English language corruption of the German Deutsch, which these people were as most of them had come from Germany to North America. As we can see when driving through a Mennonite community, /the farms look thrifty and prosperous. Miss Davies quotes one writer as saying, "The Pennsylvania Dutch are of the earth, earthy,, and Of heaven, heavenly. They are perhaps the most unique combination of the practical and • the spiritual in all America". The title A String of Amber is used becauSe every family had a string of amber beads, not ,for ornament,, but for the curative qualities for throat ail- ments. The third book I nibbled at, I really, nibbled, It made me so mad that I couldn't take it in gulps. It is "Hard to Swallow" by Stewart. You may have rea of his articles in MacLeans. not Mr. Stewart I was triad the things that go on Marketplace that he.was exp We consumers howl abo prices we have to pay for foo complain about the higher that the farmers are getting forgetting that any increas farmers have been given, more than deserve, and al farmers are consumers too a paying many of the inflated that we are. There is no dou the farmers are handling a I money than they were a gen ago, but that does not nece mean that they have any profit at the end of the year certainly the farmers are . hours that any other person whole of the country , would consider. It is hard to believe the tr hanky:panky, double-de manipulation and, almost le dishonesty that goes on in t chain from producer to con. but Mr. Stewart had his stat well documented and 1 f believe' what he says.
