The day was windy and cold.' The power was off, at least in this area, from about 1:15 until 7:10 p.m. No way to have that -afternoon cup of hot coffee, no way to keep warm without a couple of sweaters or cozy housecoat. As the hours passed a Tight switch was hopefully flicked on and off every few minutes. By 6:30 p.m. hunger drove one to a cold evening- meal partaken in flickering candlelight. Even my dog was uneasy and sought comfort close against my chilly limbs. The power carne on just as that meal was finished: There was a mad dash to plug in the kettle, turn up the thermostat, enjoy a -steaming hot cup of coffee and read the daily paper which I had not attempted to do- by candlelight. My sympathy went out to hydro workers who had spent those cold windy hours in the open to restore heat and light to our homes. •iraaaa • What do 1 do now to fill irk the time you ask: The answer is — so far I have'gone gadding. Arriving home from Winnipeg on September 27th,; took off again on October 1st en a two-day Leisure Tour sightseeing trip to Port Severn, 'the Muskoka District, 10 Graven. hurst, Orillia and .the Holland Marsh, The Holland Marsh is where Canadians could not make a success of farming in the organic soil. After that failure Dutch immigrants, in the beginning, taken from such cities as T$ronlo and Hamilton where they were unhappy, followed • by more immigrants from Europe. were successful because they were not afraid of hard work and, long hours. The'rnarsh is now a flourishing arca of vast acres producing quality vege- tables. The highlights of the tour, for me, was the two hour cruise out. of Gravenhurst on the S.S.,,Sec'aw'rt$eIt is a graceful vessel of the Vi ortan era, fitted out in turn-of•the.een• tury style, the over -night stay at the Sundial Motor Inn at Orillia, with. a good dinner in pleasant surroundings, excellent accommo- dation and a visit to the Sharon Temple. The Temple was built by the Children of Peace in the early 19th century. David Wilson came to Canada and settled in Sharon in 1801, with his wife and two small sons. In 1812. he with the support of several families, formed the Children of Peace. In 1825 the building of the Temple was begun under his direction according to an. imaginative plan giving dramatic form 10 his religious concepts. It is a white frame building of three -stories, repre- senting the Trinity, with square base indicating that the members of the group meant to deal on the square with all people. Doors on all four sides were to let people from every direction cone in on equal footing. Equal number of windows, of exact shape and size. was to let the 'light of the gospel shine equally on all assembled, zfwclve pillars symbolized the apostles support the upper. storeys. In the centre of the temple stands the Ark with an open Bible,' flanked with four columns standing for Faith, Hope. Love and Charity. the foundation on which the Temple was built. In the Temple arc two organs. One a barrel prgan, built by• Richard Coates in 1820 for the Children of Peace. It is believed to be the first built in Upper Canada. It was played for us by the lady in charge turning a and operated crank. The music came from a roll similar to those in a player piano. The other built by the same man, is a wooden pipe organ with keyboard. After the death of David Wilson, January, 1866, the sect declined. The Temple stood vacant and neglected for fifty years. The York Pioneer and Historical Society bought it in 1917. !Chas hcen restored to its original design. If you are ever in the Sharon area visit the Temple. It is itrdeed• of unique design„ You will be welcomed and told the history of the Temple in a friendly. informal manner, Without hydro for six hours One third of Brussbis was without hydro for approximately six hours Thursday afternoon when the top of a hydro pole buret off near a barn on the property of Bill Wheeler. Public utilities commissioner, Henry Exel said there was a problem locating the break. A fuse was knocked out at the Topnotch Feed Mill when the pole burnt. He said hydro was off from 1:30 to 7:30 p.m. the break was found at 5:00 p.m. with Ontario Hydro and Wingham P.U.C. work- ers assisting. No serious damage was caused by the failure, which "was more of a nuisance", said Mr. Exel. He thought the failure occured when wind and wet weather conditions caused a wire to short.
