One of the reasons it took us so long to 'getaround to it was, for a long time, we weren't even sure what we were supposed to be celebrating, this bicentennial year. At first, I thought it was the 200th birthday of our pro- vince, but further investiga- tion showed that Ontario will not celebrate that event until 1991. Finally, someone got through to me that what the bi-centennial was all about was the commemoration of the first wave of Empire Loyalists that flowed from the United States, in 1784, to On- tario, which, up to that time, had very little settlement. Now that really made me pick up my ears, because, ac- cording to family history and legend, some of my own ancestors (on my mother's side) were amongst those very first Loyalists who left their well established homes and came to the wilds of Canada to start all over again...all because they couldn't support the revolu- tionary war and preferred to remain loyal to the Crown. Many of them would have been happy to stay in their homes and remain neutral in the fight for independence, but this they were not allow- ed to do. A vociferous minori- ty, with its Association Tests and Committees of Safety, soon subjected the Loyalists to many indignities, imprison- ment, confiscation of proper- ty and even death. In the end, thousands of them departed the Thirteen Colonies to return to England, to settle in the West Indies or in other North American col- onies. Thirty thousand of them settled in the Maritimes, and 10,000 in On- tario, some in the Kingston - Belleville area, and the rest, of which my ancestors were a part, in the St. Catharines Seniors start new session The first meeting of the fall season for Exeter senior citizens took place at the Legion Hall in the form of a Pot -luck supper. It was very well attended. "Oh Canada" followed by the Lord's Prayer and a moments silence for departed members were followed by greetings to members having birthdays and wedding anniversaries. It was announced that Ral- ly day for Zone 8 will be held October 3 at Dashwood and will he a "games day". Installation of officers will take place at the December meeting and officers elected would begin duties in January. A good report of the conven- tion, attended by Alice Bowen and Mildred Thomson was given by Mice Bowen. The possibility of a bus trip at a later date was mentioned, details later. The program was chaired by Irene Johns. A sing song with some action was con- ducted by Blanche Dougall. A reading by Mary Neil and one by Helen Webber was en- rved. Musical numbers by .tenry Green and Ray Cooper accompanied by Elsie Jory were encored several times with request numbers. area. To repay them for their act of loyalty and to replace the well developed farms they long, built of round logs and frequently with only a hole in the roof to serve as a chimney. Then came the It seems to me... by Gwyn Whilsmith clearing of the land, the con- struction of a proper log house, and the cultivating of the soil. These advances, were accomplished with ex- treme hardship, great deter- mination and faith in British institutions. They were hard and hungry times, but the Loyalists stayed and their roots held. uf'nOW'' _4 is pleased to announce the R Grand Opening of Rumor Jtvo In the Centre Mall, Exeter Phone 235-0202 Fri., Sept. 14 Ethel Triebner Beauty Consultant Ethel Offers • Facials • Waxing • Manicures • Ear piercing $8; (reg. $10.) till Sept. 22 Extra Features • Les Parfumes Monique plus The one and only Perry Originals line of lingerie and fun wear Keep that trin!

Exhausted from their ar- duous flight, and with a few primative tools, they proceed- ed to their forest properties to begin the first task of building a log shanty to shelter them the first winter. These huts were small, only 10 pr 12 feet So, it's the coming of this hardy and loyal group of peo- ple that we've been celebrating, this year. They were a rnoUey crew...English, Irish, Scottish, Dutch and Gerrnan stock, as well as Mohawk Indians, all loyal to King George 1I1 of England. Last week, on our way home from visiting a daughter and her husband, we drove along the Loyalist Parkway from Kingston to Trenton, one of the most at- tractive areas in the province, and where many of the On- tario Loyalists ventured to carve out their new lives in an untamed land. We tried to put ourselves in their shoes and cir- cumstances, wondering if we could have coped had we been in their place. We visited two Loyalist cemeteries, trying to read stories between the few faintly carved lines still show- ing on the ancient, moss covered tombstones. At the museum at Adolphustown we lingered over old documents and reaps, and handled Loyalist tools and utensils, again trying to get some feel- ing of what it must have been like, then. We, who live so comfor- tably and so smugly in our great scientific age, owe a tremendous debt to the Loyalists and to all other pioneers who came after them. They took on the mam- moth job of opening up our land at great cost to themselves, for the benefit of all generations who have come after them. So, it seems to me, it really is a good thing to celebrate and honour those Empire Loyalists, first brave settlers of Ontario.
