Ontario Archives gets
tapes on rural history
Living memories of Ontario’s
rural history from 1890, recalled on
tape by farmers, will be presented
to the provincial archives in a
ceremony Jan. 13.
Agriculture and Food Minister
Jack Riddell will hand over a series
of audio tapes to Ontario Archivist
lan Wilson before selected guests
and media at the Ontario Archives
in Toronto.
“We can never go back,’’ said
Riddell, explaining the value of the
oral history. “Butwe can do the
nextbest thing: get exact, first
hand accounts of what actually
happened from the people who
lived the past.”
The oral history contains 257
tape cassettes of interviews with
elderly farmers and other rural
residents from many of the major
agricultural areas of Ontario.
Recollections of all aspects of early
rural life are voiced -- from barn
building, soap making and thrash
ing bees to the first use of tractors.
* ‘These people can genuinely be
called pioneers,” said Riddell.
“We’ve got the past preserved in
its own tongue for future genera
tions of students and scholars.”
The oral history was undertaken
by the Ministry of Agriculture and
where near the end of the month.
Several winter festivities are
being planned at C.H.S.S. On
January 16, a dance will be held at
the school, featuring the band
“Lone Boney.” This band was
recommended by the “Vigilan
tes,” the band which was suppos
ed to come. However, the Vigilan
tes has added new members, and
felt it needed more practice to
perform properly.
The group “Lone Boney” plays
a variety of music, including hits
fromthe top 40 countdown. The
group is in the process of cutting a
record to be released sometime in
Food as an Ontario Bicentennial
project in 1984. The ministry
commissioned history professor
Alan Brookes of the University of
Guelph to co-ordinate the project in
which five students spent the
summer conducting in-depth in
terviews with 154 rural residents.
Riddell will also present to
archivist Wilson a slides-with-
soundtrack set, entitled Behind the
Plow. It features 160 slides of
historical and contemporary
photographs accompanied by a
narration.
Both the oral history and slide
set will be available to the public.

the summer. “Lone Boney” is
renowned for its impressive light
show performed by its three
members.
A winter carnival is also in the
works. The carnival was supposed
to be held in January as well, but
since January is so rushed for
teachers, it has been planned for
February.
This annual event includes such
events as tug-of-war, slat races and
toboggan races. The week-long
carnival may include a dance and a
car rally for senior students, as well
as a special film called “The best
stages of your lives.” A student
teacher hockey game and broom
ball game are highlights as well.
The Grade Eight students from
local public schools will be visiting
C.H.S.S. to familiarize themselves
with the high school. The Student
Council will be present to inspire
the future Grade Nines into joining
the various clubs and teams the
school has to offer.
C.H.S.S. is bustling with activity
in the new year and continues to
“build up” school spirit.
