The Oldsmobile has been completely restyled, with more glass area, passenger and luggage space and a host of engineering and accessory advancements. Steering is easier. There are new Air~Scoop brakes on all four wheels. Two new engines will mean greater operating economy. The windshield, with up to 570 square inches more glass, cuts deep into the roofline to give an unhindered view of overhanging traffic signals. The wide, heat~ resistant band across the top of the tinted rear window reduces heat penetration by about 84 per cent. Sculptured twin booms sweep full length along the body, highlighting Oldsmobile’s unique two-tone styling for 1959. . ommem ora fe ale loud "‘You are fully aware that. in this country, the man brought up and lnured to the labors of the field is assured of obtaining his subsistence by his labours; that the rich man who brings capital may even, by paid labor, find means of support in agriculture; but he who has neither strength nor money, if he borrow to clear the land, certain of ne'Ver repay- ing. has no other prospect than that of losing his time. his land, his liberty. his family. and his property. When the Count de Puisaye proposed to me to come with him to Canada, he told me that there would be military corps in which I should command the gentlemen emigrants who were to come there; that the Royalists who would arrive to form it would labor in common for the ofiicers as for themselves: and he required from me only a letter ot‘ request to be his author- ity in applying to the Min- ister. But the military corps in which I should have found a salary. those peasants of Brittany whose arms were to assist me were but a chimerical hope: it is only here I have obtained proof of this. This deception places me, with my family, in the most heartrending situation." Within three or four years, Accordingly. a group of some forty French Royalists and their servants arrived in Canada in the fall of 1798. The idea of a French military colony even though it consisted of Royalists evidently caused a certain amount of uneasiness among the colony’s administrators. The lands along Yonge Street to which the em- igres were consigned were there- fore purposely selected so that the settlement was a consider- able distance away from both the French Canadian centres of pop- ulation in Lower Canada and along the Detroit River. The lots granted were largely in the present townships of Mar- kham and Vaughan. south of Bond Lake and north of Rich- mond Hill. and extended back about one and one-quarter miles on each side of Yonge Street. This settlement became known as “Windham” after the Rt. Hon. William Windham. British Minis- ter of War. Among the largest land holders in addition to de Puisaye were de Chalus, D’Allegre, Marseuil, Quetton St. George, Farcy, Ren- ault,‘Sejent, Fouchard, Feuron, Langel. Bugle and Marchand. De Puisaye himself did not settle in Windham but bought property near Niagara-omthe-Lake where he erected a house which still exists. In the fall of 1799 it was reported that considerable land had been cleared at Windham and about 18 houses were in the process of erection. It was hoped that 25 buildings would be com- pleted by the following spring. However. it soon became apar- ent that these members of the ‘noblesse‘ were unprepared for the life of pioneer farmers. Noâ€" thing in their past experience fitted them for the rigours in- volved in clearing land and strug- gling with nature to produce the first crops on virgin soil. Servants were diflicult to hire and retain in a colony where it was so easy for an able-bodied emigrant to obtain his own land. One of the Royalists. in a letter written in 1799, illustrates the general disillusionment: Giving up hope for a Royal- ist victory in his native land. de Puisaye conceived the idea of a French‘ settlement in Canada. As originally planned, the settlers were to form a part of a quasi- military force consisting of two battalions. This force would divide its time between military services and clearing the land. It was evidently understood that the private soldiers of the corps would spend some of their labour on the property of the officers. This plan did not materialize. However, the Duke of Portland wrote to Peter Russell. Admin- istrator of Upper Canada, that free grants of land were to be made according to military rank in the same manner as to the American Loyalists.~ Free passage over the Altantic was provided ,and certain tools, clothing and rations were to be distributed. Later, he fled to England where he organized a military corps of emigres. In 1795 he was one of the leaders in the unsucces- sful Royalists expedition which was landed by the British fleet at Quiberon Bay in an attempt to regain control of France. tained a commission in the Swiss Guards. In the convention of the Estates-General. he was the re- presentative of the nobles of La Perche. but at first espoused the popular side. advocating reforms and supporting some of the de- mands of the lower classes. Later, he raised forces to protect the King against the revolutionaries. In 1792 he led. Royalists forces in Brittany.

Some reâ€" turned to England and, at a later date. to France and, by 1806 Windham had ceased to exist. A few remained in Canada. the most successful of whom was Laurent Quelton de St. George. He en- gaged in the fur trade with posts at Newmarket and Orillia.
