But we, in this little French parish, e dating. back to the year of about * 1846 hold the origin of the New Year's feast. It was then that : six families 'from the province of Que- + bec immigrated in this parish then a + wilderness, squatted on the bank at that point on Lake Huron, they knelt in prayer and asked God's protection • from the wild beasts of the forest, • 8 and of Other dangers. The next mor- e ning these few settlers arose weary • and tired from their long treck, .but • being full of courage and determin- • ation to carve a home for•themselves, • they staked lots and after holding • their first council meeting, it was de- cided- that their parish would be as mention above. Being July the women • (busied themselves picking different • kinds of berries, they peeled the • bark from those huge 'birch trees and e nt laid it on the ground to spread their • berries on to effect a cure, and the • men .stored away great quantities of • fish and wild game. It is not our in • tendon to write a part history of this •• parish, so therefore We will drift • back to New Year's feast to those s early settlers, that first a New Year • was a gloomy one, but from the sum- mer harvest of wild fruit and the wild game, they made merry; they did not as today, we have an oveaplus of luxuries and bon bons left over. Their first New Year was one 'breadless to thein, they had not tilled as yet any plot of land to sow buck- wheat to exchange for ground floor, Never the less 'being, all of ono heart they shared together the little they had on that first:.. New Year's day, and since those many :years has gone by, we as descendents take the full example of our fore parents to. join together on New Year's Day; and exchange best wishes to one another for throughout tie whole of the New Year. Children and relatives travel from afar for the occasion, and many homes today in this parish have }3aen the recipients of twenty to ninety children and grand children, ' Such is the picture of our forerpareitts and the origin of New Year established by the early pioneers of this parish.

The dis. suction .went as follows; - Some of the facts of farmers that eity and town people should know are; The cost of production; we must give our town and city friends the facts of our business and express our views. We should invite our city friends to our meetings.

We, as a farm group felt that 2 -5th of a mill that we tax our faun membership is not sufficient to meet the costs of pro- perly representing our demands, •con- sequently we feel more aipport sho- uld come from both the Provincial our demise! e New Year feast reign long after. and Federal Dept. of Agriculture.
