The Church was tastefully decorated with pretty leaves, fruits of the harvest and fall flowers. Mrs.. Doyle Cullen sang the lovely solo "Thanks to God for my Redeemer" in the morning, and her Mother, Mrs. Larry Bigelow the beautiful favorite "The ninety and nine'.', in the evening service. Both' services were well attended and the Pastor welcomed the many summer visiting people that were saying farewell to_ the Church until next spring. The Pastor, Rev. Les Shiel, used Psalms 116 for the congregational Bible reading, and verse 12 for his maiA"--text, "What shall I render unto the Lord, for all His benefits?''

We cOns stand `tobe corrected. Does anyone know these other fishermen two e mien oln the left?? Loyalists arrive In the last episode ,of the history of Upper Canada, and more particularly the founding of Bayfield, we left off as the United Empire Loyalists were set to enter Canada. in 1783, the Loyalists began pouring across the border • from America, into the new country. These people wanted land grants on which to settle in order to start a new life, so the British government was now faced with opening up the frontier and establishing a priority for granting the land. It was the decision of the government that the highest ranking officers entering the country were to receive 1,000 acres of land each. The amount of land given decreased with rank. Civilians that were still loyal to the Crown were to'receive 200 acres each. They had to swear an oath of allegiance and pay a nominal fee. Unfortunately, although the Surveyor - General took great care with his duties of office, many problems arose within, due to his rather primitive method of filing. Not only was his system unable to handle the v olu 'are of grants, but some settlers were taking advantage by filing for land more than once, , using false pretenses. Often there was no way of checking. One incident of this nature, that 'was found out, 'concerned a settler in the Long Point vicinity. A FOOD MARK WE LIKE TO SERVE YOU A LITTLE BIT BETTER. man by the name of Jacob Misner applied for a grant in that area, but while searching records for a prior, grant, a clerk discovered that a man named Jacob Miesner had claimed 200 acre grant townships in 1783 and 1784. The surveyors ran into many unexpected problems, and work was slow. The terrain was much more rugged than a had been expected and m the winters were harsh. Crowland, two years before in 1795. After considerable in- vestigation, it was con- firmed that the two similar names belonged to one person. Although this wase-ohe- example where the settler concerned was 'apprehended, how many went by unnoticed due to poor filing methods used by the government at that time? However, most of the problems were solved eventually, and the big push westward into Upper Canada began. It wa `" r. eceed that the first townships" to be marked out and granted, would be those bordered by water: Surveyor John Collins received orders to .begin laying out the first of these townships at Cataquari, which is known today by the more familiar name of Kingston, Ontario. Collins was assisted by Captain Sherwood, Lieut. Cotte and a Mr. Grass, captain of one of the companies of militia intended for that set- tlement. They were also accompanied by a band of axemen, `proper for the occasion'. After joining these men at Montreal, the Collins' crew headed into the wilds and laid out five In the end it was decided that speed could not be sacrificed, so accuracy and detail were. Regardless mistakes in markingof thanye land out, the settlers were not to be kept waiting. Since there were no roads in existence, all supplies had to come by way of the water routes, and then be carried inland to the crews. The men refused to drink the surface water due to the plentitude of water bugs that inhabited it, and therefore, they were kept well supplied with whiskey. Served from tin pails with tin dippers, it cost about 25 cents a gallon. Other holdups came when equipment was lost or broken, and with little or no replacement equipment on hand, the surveyor had to walk many miles.: to find a person qualified to fix the delicate apparatus° used. In his absence, the crew spent most' of their time drinking and no work was done. So with the survey crew = in disorder and confusion, we're going to leave the story for now and pick it up when next we meet as w. they .,'hopefully recover/ and push onward: into the interior.
