The theme of the
Remembrance Day
Eucharist at Trinity
Church emphasized the
importance of remem-
bering that the benefits
enjoyed in the' present
had been achieved
because .of the sacrifices
of . the .past. Both the
Rector and Brig. Morgan
Smith, selected this
particular aspect as
necessary, in promoting

service, the organization

Laroche
scores a hat trick
The Lampoon Hockey
League opened its second
season last Saturday
night at the Bayfield
Arena, as the two top
notch teams began the
long. battle for the much
coveted 'Logan Cup'.
The Rink Mice Squad
are such bounders that
they opened up a 5-0 lead
over the Good Guys early
in the first period.
Voluptuous Val and
Nimble Nora provided
the scoring •while the
defending champs were
playing at least four men
short. As the Good Guys
team members began to
show up midway through
the third period, they
found themselves down
12-1. The cheering crowd
of one spectator urged
them to make a
comeback.
Although the Good
.Guys had only three pairs
of skates and two hockey
sticks ` between them, ,
they • mounteda
comeback. Bonnie the
Basher scored five goals,
while the Stickman and
the rest. of the 'Turkey
Line' closed the gap to 12-
10. With five minutes left
to play, Larouche tallied
twice to tie the game.
Larouche then put the
game on ice as he took a
pass from Jumping

drove the puck past Tiny

. The teams need some
more players of equal
calibre, so if you have a
rusty pair of skates and
an old hockey stick come
on out and join •up for an
evening of fun. Men,
women, anybody over
about ten years old are
welcome to play. Contact

Explorzng the area townshzps in tizepast
When wejeft the story a
couple pf weeks Agar, the
survey' crews sent out by
John Collins to explore
`Upper Canada', were
lying drunk and
disorderly and in total
confusion. In order to
spare the gory. details,
let us just say that they
recovered somewhat, and
continued with the
dubious task of laying out
the townships as the
British Government had
requested.
The first type of
township system was
called the `Single Front
System' and was a
popular method from 1783
��u_t1t11...�8x8,ThiG system
was devised to suit the
Loyalists corning into
Canada as they were used
to large farm lots. Many
of the 'eastern' townships
were laid out this way.
Many different
methods were conceived
and used for a variety of
reasons. Primarily, the
government was
reluctant to spend money
on surveys, and • as a
result they constantly
searched for a more
economical system.
Wasting hoards of money
while looking for a 'better
way' isn't much different
than the thinking of
todays governments is it?
The type of people that
would settle the land and
the geographical features
of the vastly different
regions of Upper Canada,
comprised the other main
reasoning for the ump-
teen different methods of
surveying the townships.
That's about enough
background so let's
continue with the story.
When the first town-
ships were laid out, the
people who had received
land grants began set-
tling. The lots had not
been marked out, so the
settlers guessed at the
approximate location of
their land and erected
their dwellings and
cleared their farmland.
Unfortunately, , this was
not destined to work out
so good and disputes soon
fol loved. T he " govern-
'
en't quickly passed a
new regulation. It stated
that no. person would be
allowed to build on their
land examined -surveyor
had
ned thexp�
operty,
and made certain that it
was in fact their own.
Since, there were not
enough surveyors
available, the `township
crews' were soon called
back to clear up the
problem. The old saying,
`haste makes waste', had
caught up to them as it
always does.
Upon their return, they
found a huge backlog of
settlers waiting for their
land so they could build
and get back to the
.�,.busine s..,_QLll n Some
surveyors used playing
cards to determine the
order in which the people
would get their land. On
the back of the playing
cards, the lot numbers
were written and handed
to the 'owners'. There we
have the first land deeds.
Although they were not
regarded as 'legal' deeds,
this method did attempt
to alleviate some of the
confusion.
Then again, more
problems came about
when the settlers lost
their cards, (or they were
stolen) before they had
received their land.
These unlucky ones had
to go back to the end of
the line and re -apply for a
new grant.
Because of the shortage
of men to work on the
survey crews, the
Government added
another stipulation to the
land grants they were
issuing. Any person that
wanted land, had to assist
the surveyor in charge of
marking out the lots. The
duties required of these
people included carrying
supplies, cutting trees,
chaining (measuring)
and other menial tasks.
By 1800, most of these
restrictions were lifted.
The second method of
townsh;p layout was
devised by Alan
McDonnel, who did much
work in . the Niagara
Penih.su`la area.
McDontel.is also credited
with having the earliest
'field notes:' from his.
surveys in Upper Canada
on file today at the
federal archives, 'The
system he used was the
front and rear system.
All in all, the settlers
problems only began
';when they requested a
eland grant and many
went through great
'hardships and disap-
pointrnents in order to
live here.
Probably many of you
have noticed piles of
rocks in farmers fields,
particularly in the eor-
vers in 'less' devastated
regions of Ontario. In the
early days, rock piles,
tree blazes and wooden
posy were tTie fains "
of the surveyor for
'marking out lots. Of
course 'many 'false'
markers exist, as many
farmers pile rocks in the
corners of the field
primarily to get them out
of the way, but
sometimes on close
examination, the original
4 survey marks can be seen
t quite clearly, chiseled on
the face of the
monument.
Another sure-fire
method of validating
them, is to dig down a
ways\and lock for broken
pieces of glass as the
crew s' usually saved their
whiskey bottles for this
purpose. These were all
common and acceptable
practices until the 1900s
when iron bars became
the popular 'markers'.
As far back as the
1700s, there was a
problem with survey
monuments being moved
or destroyed in-
tentionally. The
legislature had to pass
laws to deter would be
villains from doing this.
One act read, "......that if
anypersons shall
knowingly and wilfully
pull down, deface, alter
or remove any such
monument so erected as
aforesaid, he, she or they
shall be adjudged guilty
of felony and shall suffer
death without benefit of
clergy."
That was kind of a
severe penalty. so it was
latex reduced to heavy
f.Fnes and -or lm-
prisonnaent. The
maximum prison term
today.is; five years.
That brings us tQ the
end of this chapter,` and
next time we forge on to
themisuse of land, alz�►i
