Let’s have 100 percent response EDGELEY ‘NEWS Is Sponsoring Historical research has been an- important subject for study and discussion by the Women’s Insti- tute members for some years. with the compilation of the Edgeley book commencing last year. In it will be preserved in our own com- munity the records of integrity, honesty and industry of the pion- eers as well as those of the pres- ent day together with notes on fall fairs, agricultural shows, commun- ity activities and records of out- standing citizens. One chapter will be devoted to the transition of Edgeley within the last 40 years. Some of the old- er inhabitants of the villyage have interesting stories to tell of con- ditions locally when they were young. Some of them have been and still others will be asked to describe the changes that have taken place in their time and their impressions will be entered in the history book. The style of the book itself is a loose leaf type so that extra pages can be added as time goes on. Heavy Bond paper is being used throughout with each page sep- arated with tissue paper or plio- film to protect the surfaces of the pages. It is divided into various sections with the work on the dif- ferent headings being done by the same person in order that they will be of uniform design. Mrs. Chas. Agnew, who does leatherwork so beautifully, is making a hand-tool- ed leather cover for the book. Mrs. Bert Cook has kindly consented to type the pages. Small sketches to illustrate the text together with snapshots and all kinds of local pictures used in quantity will add greatly to its value for future his- torians. Thus it can be seen that this is not a mere scrapbook, but a valuable document in which we shall not only be paying tribute to the past but shall also be making a valuable contribution to the fu- ture. Dr .Archer Wallace will preach at Edgeley at 9.30 am. and Hope at 10.30 am. this Sunday. Dr. Ken- neth Beatorx will conduct the ser- vice at Maple The Historical Research com- mittee of the Edgeley Women‘s In- stitute is endeavoring to complete the community Tweedsmuir history book this summer. The initial disâ€" play of the book for Institute mem- bers will take place in October and later on the public will likely be invited to inspect the book. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Fierheller, on Thursday afternoon. September 17. The history committee require farm histories of Edgeley and would greatly appreciate a written story of these farms by the pres- ent occupants. Kindly forward to any Women's Institute member of Edgeiey. who will then pass them on to the Committee.

MIZEN l7 Seccomoe Ave. Doncaster Correspondent: Inspired by her young son to write about the freighters on the St. Mary’s River. Mrs. McPhedran, the wife of a prominent Toronto physician. was invited on her first of several freighter trips on the Great Lakes. She was thrilled by the big loading and unloading ports she saw right in our own province of Ontario. This is a fas- cinating and true story of modern freighters and shipping on the lakes today. If you have ever been to Algon- quin Park you will like this story. If you are not a Park explorer, then we are quite sure you will want to be after you have read this book. , Another interesting book we’ve read twice is the ‘Algonquin Story’ by Audrey Saunders. We like the book because of its close to home atmosphere and the fact that it's about our wonderful northern park so easily accessible to all in this part of the country. The Algonquin Story opens with the coming of Champlain and car- ries on through Indians, fur, trad- ers, lumbering and up to the pres- ent day holiday camps, fishing trips and study of wild life. There's quite a lot about the Group of Seven and Tom Thomson, the artist Whose work tells so much about the true north. ' No need' to send a lot of notices about that function your club is staging. Use a “Coming Events" notice in The Liberal. Low in cost, it will command mch attention. I‘elephone TUmer 4 1261. Our answer was that there are stories right around your own home. your own district, your own city. There's no need to travel if you have a nose for news. Going through our book shelves this week, we found a most fascin- ating book about a close to home subject most of us know something about, at least all of us have seen. It’s the freighters on the Great Lakes. The book is by Marie Mc- Phedran with the title “Cargoes on the Great Lakes." A budding writer once asked us, "How does one find things to write gbout? I know I like to write but I can’t seem to find stories because I have never travelled to interest- ing places."
