BRANCH N URSE-IN-CHARGE MISS JEAN LOGGIE 884-4101 Veterinary It seems like only yesterday this was a one-room school Today, it’s one of nearly 7,000 Ontario schoolsâ€"and an excellent example of Ontario‘s dynamic growth. The learning explosion is helping Ontario achieve prosperity as rapid developments in science and technology make industry more and more competitive. The skills and train- ing our schools provide help produce more products and better products. The remarkable thing is that Ontario is just getting startedâ€"the best is yet to come. In the last five years alone, hundreds of thousands of new jobs have been created and our unemployment figure is just 2.5%.

Though the entries are terse and often impersonal much can he “read between the lines" of this old diary. It is clear that McFall was a man of great in- tegrity. devoted to his family, dissatisfied with his prospects, and determined to find a mill of his own. (Continued {mm Page 2t and Mrs. Arthur McNeil. Lot 14. Concession 6 Vaughan Town- ship. Andrew. the son of Mr. and Mrs. William McFall was born on Lot 9, Concession 9. King Township in 1838 and after attending business college, kept store in Kleinburg, and then learned mill management under Henry S.'Howland. Mr. McFall recorded the weather. noted if the mill was The Pomona Dam had prob- ably been washed out. or at least weakened by the torrential three days rain in September 1878 and leaks and breaks kept occurring. The machinery also needed attention so John Harris, son of the owner, and Mill- wrights T. Clay and W. Wiles often had to be summoned. These work stoppages were not as serious however as those caused by the want of some- thing to grind. Mixed farming had taken the place of grain growing in the Thornhill area farmer-s no longer waited in line to sell loads of wheat at the mill. In October Mr. McFall look the train to Penetang and arranged with H. H. Thompson the storekeeper there to buy wheat for him on commission. Then he went to the railway office in Toronto to dicker for favourable freight rates, and storage space at the station. Rather significantly a few days later he took the train to Catar- act in the Credit Valley to in- spect Churches Mill. From there he drove with the mail man to Alton to see McKinne’s Mill. Neither were suitable so he caught the T. G. B. train to Toronto, and the Northern to Concord, and walked home from the station.

ONTARIO’S GROWTH RECORD This year the Ontario Student Awards Program will total $13,750,000. ONTARIO Q?) GOVERNMENT TRADE CRUSADE Even before he came to Thornhill Andrew McFall had been thinking about the west where big things were happen- ing. On January 14. 1881 he bought a ticket ($28.75) for Winnipeg, “a stirring live town where property was advancing and fortunes being made in no time." Armed with letters of introduction he visited a num- ber of mills in Manitoba, and across the border in Minnesota. and North Dakota. Most were equipped with modern machin- ery, but the prices were high. and he returned_home at the end of the month without mak- ing a deal. In the following July he went‘to look over a mill near Newmarket which had had been converted to steam. It was said to be good for 200 barrels of flour a day, using seven cords of wood at $1.25 a cord. The cost of manufacturing flour was reckoned at .13c a bar- rel. Nothing came of that trip nor of a journey to a mill near Brampton but on October 7 he heard that F. G. Gardhouse wanted to sell his mill in Bolton. and knew that his quest was over. The agreement of bargain and sale was signed on the 13th and a week later Mr. McFall took his wife to see her new home. One of his last business transactions in the village pleas- ed him greatly. “In front of J. Shuter's store I sold R. H. Lym- burner 100 barrels spring flour for $5.85, to be taken away and paid for as of yore.“ We are indebted to A. David McFali, treasurer and past pre- sident of York Pioneer and His- torical Society, for allowing us to read, and use his grand-‘ father's diary. Will those read- ers who have copies of Thorn- hill An Ontario Village please inote that W. McFaul on Pages '74 and 127 should be Andrew lMcFau. John Harris was disturbed about the short notice, but re- assured when he learned that McFall had a tenant in view. John Ramsden, a local man in- spected the mill and the books and agreed to assume the lease. He was probably the last miller as the Pomona was destroyed by fire in 1885. The mill site is now occupied by the new sewage disposal plant. After twenty months in Thornhill the McFalls left {01“ Bolton on November 16. 1881. A‘ new baby Henry Stark Howland‘ McFall had been added to the‘ family, and the McFall's young- est child Charles, was born later in Bolton. His own master at last Andrew McFall installed modern roller machinery in the mill and operated it successfully until his death in 1894, after which it was taken over by his eldest son Arthur Andrew until 1924. The mill was owned by the family until 1941. Then it was sold successively to Hayhoe Bros. of Pine Grove, James Goodfellow, a Bolton farmer, and to the Woodbriclge 00-01:. It was in use until seven or eight years ago, latterly as a chopping mill. (Continued from Page 2) l the production staff and Miss Canada, Barbara Kelly. This was a truly Centennial effort, the objective being to entertain Canadian forces no matter where located, but also to entertain the Canadian High Commissioners in these countries assisting them with their own Centennial celebrations, giving many of the populace and resident Canadians the opportunity for sharing in it. And for crossing the equator from north to south and south to north. crossing the latitude in one fell swoop, every last one of “Canada Entertains” receivâ€" ed the Order of Neptunus Rex. “We had two planes.” said A]. “a Yukon for carrying equipment. including a portable stage. comâ€" plete with props, back drops, spot and stage lights. Kleig lights and a generator. The Hercules this time was a luxury plane with all the comforts, including a doctor, extra mechanics and air crews.” Al said the Hercules was like a big bus inside and that they were able to walk from one seat to another, play cards. Sometimes they “jammed it up” and the camera and sound crews had a field day film- ing and recording. The meals were excellent all the way. Health was the main concern and special pills were given to everyone to kill intestinal parasites. Even after re- turning home it was necessary to take these pills for fourteen days. They carried chlorine tablets at all times to purify the water used for drinking or brush- ing teeth. A] said they left Downsview. March 1, flew to Ottawa and gave two shows in English and French and were given an official sendoff by Minister of National Defense Paul Hellyer. DOING THE CENTENNIAL SCENES WITH AL HARRIS In order to get even a bird’s eye View. A1 made sure to get up early enough in the morning to see something of the cities visited by “Canada Enter- tains.” Here are his impressions, country by counyijy. Sweibrucken, W. Germany â€" “It was almost like advanced spring. This place had an air of real pros- perity. Stores were teeming with good things and everyone seemed well-dressed.” Cagliari, Sardinia â€"- “People should visit Sar~ dinia. It is full of historical ruins. lfound a guide to show me around so I could take pictures of the ruins. One interesting ruin was the old Roman amphitheatre at Cagliari. This was the place where according to history, the Christians were thrown to the lions. I also had the opportunity of seeing the perfectly pre- served body of one of their national saints. He was a miracle worker who was born in 1650 and died in 1707. Accra. Ghana â€" “It was hot in this country. The Ghanians are a happy people and anxious to please. I brought home a few samples of excellent carvings. (I saw some of these ebony carvings and they are beautiful). A member of the cast was a magician. He performed magic tricks for the native children. He made them laugh so hard they couldn’t laugh any more.” Rawalpindi, Pakistan â€"â€" “It took us a little longer to fly to Pakistan as our pilot had to avoid countries who didn’t like military planes flying over them. This flight I experienced my first electric storm. It was enough to make one’s heart stand still. Pakis- tan is noted for its beautiful brass work.” Dar-Es-Salaam, Tanzania â€" “Very lush. Every- thing growing here. This is another place where the natives do excellent carvings. We all went to an authentic African village to see the natives making sisal.” New Delhi-India -- “It seems as if everyone rides bicycles in India. I discovered that if vou haggle with a taxi-driver and you pay the first price he asks, he thinks you are a fool. We stayed at the beautiful Ashoka hotel. There we heard an auth- entic Indian orchestra playing their national instru- ments. For example, the sitar, a guitar-like instru- ment with a long neck and a body rounded like a banjo and plucked mandolin faghion. “Our new governor-general, Roland Michener was still high commissioner to India. He hosted “Can- ada Entertains” at the fabulous residence, in which he lived while carrying out his duties in India. Prime Minister Indira Ghandi was one of the guests." Nicosia, Cyprus -- “The oranges were out in Cyprus. The Canadian Forces Centennial Show was taken up into the mountains to a big valley. In it was a big castle with a jousting field, a reminder of past baronial splendor. History says it was built on the order of Richard the Lionhearted of England on one of his Holy Crusades. The concert was held in the jousting field.” .--. . - “no _- 'l‘hese were the irripressions'of a fine goodwill ambassador in his own right, a bonafide Airborne Earthworm and a proud member of the Order of Neptunus Rex, smiling Al Harris of Thorn- hill. Ottawa On the way back home, “Canada Entertains" put on three more shows in Germany and another in Marville, France. The show returned home after travelling 25,000 miles in lean than 25 days.
