Queensway places third in theme float category HENSALL - June was Seniors Month and Queensway held many special events to commemorate this special month. Several residents were involved with the Queensway float in the Hensall Fair parade. Queensway was very pleased to take third prize for best theme float category. An antique car show and several old car enthusiasts visited Queens- way and toured residents around town in the car of their choice. The 1928 Model A seemed to be the fa- vorite. The Intergenerational choir after months of practise with teacher Pe- ter Snell and his grade six students presented an assembly at Hensall Public School to celebrate seniors month. Residents also participated in a strawberry social fund-raiser for Alzheimers Research with pro- ceeds donated to the Huron County Alzheimers Society. As a grand finale for seniors e. flee#ions on Dominion Day "WYe have a precious heritage to save and pass on..." .Dear Editor: How was your Dominion Day.pilekend? Some- ltot*;it- seemed just right that My .1 fell on a Mon- day fut a change - so much better than observing it on a Monday chosen for its greater convenience to holiday makers. the writer is also pleased that this year the Dominion Day name is being given prefer, • recce over Canada Day. This emphasis links with the orifi of the choice of Dominion. over others when theiterma of the British North America Act were T. raid down by the Fathers of Confederation at the chsd legwn and Quebec Conferences in 1866. . " " was selected from the context of Verse 8,00!lir 72 of the i$dok of Psalms in the Old Tes- 'tamgNtt o_ f the Bible where it reads "His dominion ahallte from Sea to sea" - a mere vision at that tinie.'t'he dream was realized and the motto in origi- hal Latin was engraved on the Canadian Coat of Arms - A MARi USQUE AD MARE. The 7owth of the new "Dominion of the North", as it c ime to be called, from four provinces in 1867 to ten and two territories is worthy of a brief review here. In 1869 the government of Canada bought the vast territory west of the Great Lakes from the Hud- son's Bay Company and the next year the province of Manitoba was taken in. It was but a small square block at the south at the time and so remained until 1912 when its boundaries were extended north and east to the shores of Hudson Bay. In 1981 British Columbia came into Confederation on the promise of the completion of a transcontinental railway with- in a certain time - a political promise that was kept. In 1873 Prince Edward Island joined and in 1905 Alberta and Saskatchewan were carved out of the old H.B. Co. lands with the advance of settlement. Newfoundland joined Canada as the tenth province in 1949 with Premier Joey Smallwood claiming the status of being the last father of Confecleration. Ca- nadians, native and newer, should know their coun- try's history and be appreciating and proud of the leadership, the integrity and dedication of those who helped a great dream along its way to realization. The chain reactions that were set off 129 years ago have created to today's Canadian generations a country where productivity is still flourishing and industrial output competes creditably with neigh- bour and oft shore nations. Canada is rated world- wide as perhaps the hest place in the world to live. Each of us, whether native, old, recent or new Cana- dian, has a big obligation to play at least a small pari in building and holding our "Dominion of the North" together in peaceful unity. We have a pre- cious heritage to save and pass on to our children and their descendants. Vive Le Canada! Gerry Dobrindt month two residents have partici- pated in the beard growing contest for Hay townships 150th anniver- sary. A float is also entered in the Hay Days parade. Most residents, in their past have been contributing members of the community in which they've lived and so it is gratifying to continue to be involved in community events. Thank you to all of you who have supported us in our seniors month events. We have had a great month. Thank You... Thank lou... The Stephen Central School Parent Advisory Council, the Staff and Students wish to thank all who contributed their time, talent or prizes which helped make our Family Fun Day on June 15 a success. 345 2706 • 345 2706 • 345-2706 • 345 2706 • 345 2706 • 345 2706 i4 2706 • 3452706 • 345-2706 • 34527.
