ST. JOSEPH and DRYSDALE
(ALFRED DUCHARME, Correspondent)
Christmas holidays are over
and also the New Year holiday,
Many took advantage of the
weather and also the highways
were kept opened and in good
shape. Mostly all homes had
their children and others to call
on them to extend their best
wishes to one another.
We regret that the passing hol-
iday for some meant confine-
ment to them, so it is , every
year someone and this year was
not an exception. All of the
sick ones in our neighbourhood
are courageous and are receiving
the best of care and looking for
some recovery so that they too
will enjoy some of their natural
good health.
When entering in the year of
1970 a New Year, a New Decade
brings back memories of early
settlers who arrived in this par-
ish in the year of 1846 in the
month of July, twelve decades
ago. They had left their Que-
bec native home on the advice
of three wood roamers who had
two years before spent some
time along the boarders of Lake
Huron, in -their way testing the
land more sutable for mixed
farming. Of course there was
much to do before arriving at
that farming point. Many large
trees had to be cut, stumps
rooted out, then placed in large
pits for the weather to rot and
decay. Then the left -overs
were again put in piles and burnt
All of ltat had to be done before
they could till the land.
It took those early pioneers
almost two months from the
time they had started to pre-
pare for their long and tidious
voyage by sailing on smallboats
which they were always in dan-
ger of perishing. Then by train
at that time travelling at a
slow speed arriving somewhere
in the Brucefield district, then
by an oxen drawn wagon with
a flat bottom for them to sit
down with their necessary lug-
gage, such as clothes, tools,
and whatever else they brought.
Six or seven families formed
the number who had arrived in
this parish on a mid July even-
ing. They had finished the last
lap of their journey on foot,
paying some coins to the trans-
porter then unloading their lug-
gage and placing it in the for-
est bringing with them only the.
most important part. They
slept their first night in the open
in their new land in the wilds
of nature under the stars and
tall trees.
From where they had left their
belongings, they had blazed
their trail to what is known to -
da as Ducharmes beach. It was
oly a few miles away so each
day carried them to their new
homes.
We mention this because a
decade comes only once in ten
years and during that time much
comes to pass. New ideas are
formed during that epoch and
all are meant to better things
during that period.
Many who witness the enter-
ing of this decade will not be
here to see the end. But such as
it has been since the creation
and it is nothing new to past
generations. What will be, will
be. New fashions, new ways
of living and we hope as we en-
ter another decade, peace will
reign in the world.
