First eight settlers faced many hardships Taking a look at the history of Kingsbridge in the Township of Ashfield we see that the first eight settlers were John Dean, John Finn, Jeremiah Flynn, Morgan King, John. Conner, Cornelius O'Keefe, Thomas Sullivan and John Sullivan who arrived in Kingsbridge in the autumn of 1839. Crossing the ocean from Ireland in those days took months. Immigrants followed the St. Lawrence River from Quebec City to Lake Ontario, and a large clearing was made from East of what is now Toronto to Hamilton. This was known as the Gore. This section, owing to work starting on the lakefront, held people for some years but an urge to pioneer resulted in the eight men mentioned above, some who were married, following the paths made by Indians, commonly known as "blazing the trail", through the dense forests until they came to water which happened to be Lake Huron. The Hawkins surveyors had been through these parts and with them was William O'Neil but he did not remain at this time. In the autumn of 1839, these first eight settlers went through unimaginable har- dships and ended their journey by locating in what has since become the Parish of St. - Joseph. Their first work was to fell trees to build cabins of logs with moss or wet clay between them. Cabins each consisted of one room with a loft above for sleeping or storage. The main feature was a large fireplace which was used for heating, its bright flames supplying the light at night, cheering the homesick folk. In crude vessels hung over the hearth, the frugal meals were cooked. The dense woods were full of game, some off which was edible. There was also wild fowl and fish for a whplesomg variety food.. ; ,;; �. The Work of felling the trees was very dangerous as they were of immense size and care was taken to clear a large space around the cabins as protection from trees damaged by wind or lightning. Small crops of wheat and potatoes were sown by hand. The grain, when ripe, was cut with a sickle, and threshed with a flail to be ground into flour. It was carried the long distance of 20 miles to a mill at Piper's Dam on the Maitland River, a few miles east of the site of Goderich, or in fine weather, was taken down Lake Huron by rowboat. The only implement of cultivation was a drag, PORT ALBERT NEWS Tom Livingstone, 51213-7845 made of two sticks of wood fastened together with wooden pegs and used as a plow. Church News Communion was observed at Christ Anglican Church at the 2 p.m. service Sunday. The Reverend Robert Crocker conducted the service using the modern communion service. There was a good at- tendance. The Sunday School is a busy place with several small children attending. Pet Crow The crow which Conservation Officer Roy Bellinger has befriended since it fell from its nest in Goderich seemed to fly in a cer- tain area around the Bellinger home, never at any time being far from home. Last Sunday, I observed another crow which was only a few feet away. This was unusual as the pet crow was inclined to chase any birds away from his territory. He has given up several meals a day, all he had to do was rattle the kitchen window with his beak and he would be served. He had his own barn and several other fringe benefits. The barn door is open should he want to return home.

Community health services probed at seminar Community health services were the focus of a weekend seminar organized by the Rural Learning Association, October 14, 15, 16. Attended by people from both rural and urban communities, organization of the seminar was prompted by the Ontario government's new approach to the provision of healthh care. Resource persons included Joan Milling, administrator and Dr. Donald Cole a physician, at the York Community Services Centre and Irene Korecz,opealth planner for the Region of Peel. The seminar was held at Kempenfelt Centre on Lake Simcoe. The purposes of the seminar were three. One, to identify the reasons for organizing the delivery of primary health care via community -sponsored community health centres. Two, to discuss the requirements of the provincial government for setting up such centres. Three, to develop the outlines of the educational programs which must precede and accompany the setting up of such centres. It was pointed out that com- munity -sponsored community health centres have two advantages over the way health care is presently provided. In the first place the emphasis is on health maintenance rather than sickness curing and in the second place the service costs much less than any other method. Community -sponsored community health services are more efficient and less costly for a number of reasons. Good health is a function of the whole environment in which an individual or a family lives and works involving housing, nutrition, the work en- vironment, social situation and cultural factors. For this reason for example the staff of the York Centre includes not only doctors and paramedical persons but counsellors in various fields with other service agencies. Community -sponsored health centres also guarantee that the consumers of the service are actively involved. The board of the community -sponsored centre is a citizen board which determines policy, raises the funds and manages the centre. This guarantees that the expertise of the medical and other professionals will be linked with citizen knowledge of community needs and demands to produce high quality ser=vice at economic cost. Utilizing the discussions at the seminar, the Rural Learning Association is producing three audio cassette tapes. The first two will deal with the reasons " on the day -today happenings at such a centre. The third will deal with the educational work which must be done in order to set up such.a centre. The tapes will be accompanied by notes on materials for further study and on resource persons able to assist groups. The RLA is also producing a 20 minus film -slide presentation on community -sponsored centres. These materials may be obtained from the Rural Learning Association, Box 1204, Guel, Ontario. NIH 6N6. and will be available by mid-November. The cost of the audio cassette tapes will be $12.50 for the set of three. This was the first of a series of seminars which the Rural Learning Association is organizing as part of its promotion of community -sponsored community health centres. In addition to the audio -cassette tapes and a directory of resources on such centres, the Association is prepared to assist active community groups by providing consultant help. This educational program has been funded by the Secretary of State, Government of Canada. The community health centre project is one of several educational programs which the Rural Learning Association has developed in its drive for restoring to small communities control over their own futures and a say on the quality of life in these communities.
