The learned to adjust to his world the rebuilt men would be out chopping trees planet 'earth'. and squaring them at the saw pits. They would have a carpenter to plane the wood to make it smooth, to put holes in for wooden pegs. He would use the broad axe and adze to help him. While the Blacksmith was sharpening tools, fixing them and making tool ends from iron. Iron was scarce so they would never waste it. He would make square grates and whenever something was being torn down he was there for iron. There was an Indian Hospital with wooden beds and on them were deerskins. The men were on one side and the women on the other. There was a lookout on the hill for their enemy and friends. CanOes would come in with French and goods from Montreal. There is a canal that comes into the Fort. Gates could drop down on the canal very quickly. There is a secret tunnel to escape from the enemy going to the river. The cabins had a trap door to get to the cellar. They had stables with cattle, chickens and pigs for their food. They stored corn in the rafters of the stables. In 1649 it was burnt because they thought the Iroquois , would get it. It took a solid 10 years to build it. Seaforth TO MIDLAND by Barbara Chesney On Miy 20th 7:00 in the morn- ing the big bus left for Midland. We were to have enough food for two meals and maybe a couple of snacks for on the way down and ,back. I sat with one of my friends and we took turns sitting by the window. We could pet our seats back and open the windows. We finally got to Mid- land where our first stop was the Martyr's Shrine. We climbed up a lookout tower and there we could see where 'the fur .canoes came in to Georgian Bay from Montreal back in 1640. Then we went into the Shrine while a Jesuit priest told us all about the history of the MartyrAsShrine. It was the most beautiful church I have ever seen. It was full of huge paintings and glowing , red candles. THE INDIAN VILLAGE by Steven Bennett As we walked in to the Indian Village it made us feel that we were back in time. After the guide gave the introduction we went in and looked around. First we came to the cutting - fire. Nearby is a fire where thousands of poles for the palisade, houses, and other structures were cut. Next we came to the storage pits. They were made to store food for winter months and poor seasons. Dried fruits, berries, nuts were stored in shallow pits lined with bark protected by poles and bark, Then we went to the drying racks. Furs are used for clothing. Bones of animals are used for tools . The meat is dried and smoked for food. Next we went to the longhouse. It was a long, narrow building to show hciw they lived in those days. The frame work is poles "placed in two rows and bent overhead. In it were furs such as bear, beaver, deer, muskrat and many more. Hanging from the roof were sun- flowers, tobacco, corn and some skins. Then we saw the Medicine Man's Lodge. In his house there were turtles, snakes, tobacco, sun- flowers and skins hanging from the roof.) It had a bad odour. Next we saw the corn grinder. There was a big rock on the ground with round rocks to grind the corn. Then we saw the game they played. It was called duck on the rock. They 'would get three tries to hit the stone down. The canal was very advanced for its time with -it spring fed so they didn't have" to haul water to keep it full. Mot of - the 'houses. had a second storey which you 'could sleep in when you got used to the beds. They built most things' on the original foundations if they could 'find them. There was one piece of foundation that was a mystery. They couldn't figure out what it was but there is the bottom of a fire place there. TROY ' by Lori Savauge When Heinrich Schliemann was a bon His one ambition was to dig, up Troy," A great Greek poet, Homer, sang of it, Thus the story of Troy was knit. They dug and dug for many a year, And on the day they would give up, The golden things did appear, From a golden ring to the royal cup. / • Almost'killing himself; he grabbed All the gold he could find. He hid them for fear they'd be, nabbed, The Turkish. governMent took them; they weren't kind. As a result nine Troys dug Helped us to learn about early man; We know such a thing as a cup Was used; but not a tin can. THE COLLECTOR (In Egypt) by Tracy Baker With Pharoahs coming and going, Some people, where sand was blowing Would look for a place, Then dig up a space • Where they're likely to find a rich Pharoah. It might not be there But I'd solemnly swear That these men would never give up If they'd found a tomb, they would hardly spp, Until they'd found something worthwhile. Then the thief he took, Just like a real crook, The gold that no one would miss. Then he'd go home with a shout and a h iss Because he had robbed a rich P baroah. ABOUT ARCHAEOLOGY Dawn Wood For the past two weeks Grade 6 of S.P.S. have been studying and doing projects on Archaeology. We brought many articles of long ago, such as food containers, jars, apple peelers, crocks pottery pig, bottles, broken dishes etc. We studied these things because we wanted to learn about the people who used them. We also read about famous digs in Troy, Egyp- tian tombs and Creosus of Crete. We read books about History of Huron County by Prof. Jas. Scott. We did other studying about the Seafortk area and the Neutral In- dians who lived here. We iiade scrapbooks with pictures of arti- facts of early people and pioneer life. Some people wrote a play about a "dig". We also wrote stories about digging and the history of man on earth. The end of our project came when we went to Midland. Here we actually saw the Mission of Ste. Marie which has been reconstructed after a huge "dig". NEWS OF THE MISSION ay Tina Maidens We had our lunch and by this time it was 12:40. We set out for Fort Ste Marie, a mission. We saw a movie at the building of the Mission by the Jesuit priests and the donnees. The donnees were men who had a trade in France like shoemakers, builders, tailors, blacksmiths and otber trades. They • came to Canada and got no money except meals and a bed for their work. The movie told of their work among the Huron Indians, and Of the burning of the Mission so the Iroquois could not get it and use it to control the entire area. The screen rolled up into the ceiling and we walked through into the reconstructed mission. OUR DIG ' BY Nancy O'Shea The - Grade V1 class of the Seaforth Public School went on a dig with Mr. Hart and our teacher, Mrs. Bell. Mr. Hart showed us the first house in Egmondville - the Con- stant Van Egmond home. We crossed the road where Mr. Hart pointed out the sites of the first grist mill, saw mill and tan- nery. He showed us a well that was once used at an inn owned by Mr. Ed. Daley's grandfather. At the old pottery we saw many pieces of crockery lying around. Finally we went to dig alcmg the river bank behind the old brewery. Allan Dale. came closest to finding a whole bottle- only part of the top was missing. We found parts of bottles from Meyer's brewery and bottles market 'return to Egmondville Brewery' as well as nearly all of a crock. After the dig Mr. Hart took us to see his collection of 10,000 bottles, jars,' crocks, clothes, toys, telephones, skates and other things that showed us how people lived, in Seaforth during the past hundred years. We wish to thank Mr. Hart for" his kindness in tak- ing us on a "dig". -THE MUSEUM by Sheila Dragerh The Grade six class •of the Seaforth Public School saw a film about Black Creek Pioneer Village, as we were preparing to go to the Museum the next day in Goderich. In the film we saw ho_,w they made apple cider. They also showed us how they threshed grain with a flail. After the men got done threshing the grain, the women would then shake out all the dust with a blanket. The following day we left at five minutes to one, on one of the Habkirk Buses, with Mrs. Wil- ma MacLean our driver. , Finally we came to the museum. We walked around and looked at all the magnificent machinery, tools, clothes and weapons they used and had in the olden days. One of the things we saw was the flail and. the winnowing blanket. We also saw old water wheels, steam engines, stuffed animals; army outfits, clothes, dishes, cup- boards and old Stores of many ages. One of the funniest parts in the, museum was the General Store. It had Corn Flakes and Spaghetti on the shelves. When we went to the museum, we did not know that we were to start an Archaeology Project couple of days after. THE WORLD by Brian Haley • Zoom! It shot out from the sun and was caught in gravitational attractions. It started going around still smoking. Then it started to cool off. A series of ice ages changed the world. Animals and then man came. Man at first was almost 'an ape. Then through the years he began to look, like man of today. Meanwhile the animal's had changed. This also affected man because he hunted the animals. From Dinosaurs to Mam- mals to today's animals were the animal changes. Soon man came out of the Stone Age. He now went into the Bronze Age. Soon he went into the Iron Age. Then people started to become more and more advanced. Soon he made buggies for horses and saddles. Soon wo- • oden houses were replaced' by brick and clay and wood. covered with siding. He started making cars trucks, trains, buses , tall buildings and people .•,started business that till now were never' heard of. Now man is trying to go to the Moon. Not too long ago he• made a successful trip to the Moon. Recently he had an accid- ent 'with a rocket and had to come back. It -came back alright. Man now knows about earth and other planets, weather, water; man in the past. Some people dig for; •remains of people and tools, dishes and weapons. I think man • • FORT STE. MARIE by Bill Hoff "At Sainte Marie I it was in- teresting how they set up the pal- lisade -with two poles close together and. one in front of them to fill the crack. The houses were well built because they had au, insulation of moss, ground earth and clay. The beds were very hard. The blacksmith knew his job, how to do it and explained things very well.
