(WSW The Liberal's 1884 contributor “P” boarded the ship Atlantic of the Great Northern Transit Line at Collingwood for Sault Ste. Marie and Mackinaw about the middle of July for a fare of $15. Five young artists from this area were winners in an Easter coloring contest at Hillcrest Mall. The top two took home a new bicycle. The three runners- up received two tickets to Maple Leaf Gardens and an Easter rabbit. The prizes were presented to the happy boys and girls by Richmond Hill’s Acting Mayor Lois Hancey.

Manitoulin was almost all reserve land at one time and when the land was placed on the market, the Indians agreed the government should invest the proceeds for their benefit â€" the interest being distributed among them three times a year. - 'i‘he Indian agent made the payments, travelling from settlement to settlement, followed by flocks of traders. Until a few years prior to that date trading had always been by barter and the native people had been terribly victimized by the traders. However. they were learning the value of money and the relative worth of things and the traders were having a harder time taking advantage of them, “P” reported.

The name of Solihull will not be unfamiliar to many of the residents of Maple for, you may recall. a party of 21 Scouts plus leaders visited Maple in August 1973. Solihull then was a county borough with a population of 108,000 and in the County of Warwickshire. But last April. under local government reform. a new County of the West Midlands was formed taking in parts of Warwickshire, Wor- cestershire and Staf- fordshire. Solihull is a part of the new county and has itself been enlarged in area and population so it now covers nearly 200,000 and includes the very heart of England at Meriden. Scouting too has changed from the administration point of view and from the January 1975 Solihull became a Scout County with four districts, a total of 31 Groups and 2,000 members. Eighteen months ago I was Scout Leader of 6th Solihull (St. Alphege) whose troop, under my leadership, made the visit to Maple. The exchange. which started with the Maple Scouts visiting Solihull in 1972. continues its success story. Friendships were made in those two years, but friend- ships which are now_proving to be of a lasting quality. Now I am 11th Solihuil (Methodist) and Solihull East District Scout Leader. On January 15 Keith Mason revisited Maple for a period of 312 weeks. One did not have to ask him, upon his return, if he had enjoyed himself. It was written all over his face. Keith is in the Merchant Navy but, when at home, is also a Ventur Scout with the Seneca Venture Unit and a member of the Deep Sea Scouts.

The flotilla of boats accompanying the lndian Agent stayed only a short time at LaCloche, because there the payments were made in the Hudson Bay store â€" and the Indians were expected to spend their money there, either in paying up accounts or in new purchases. “Besides, some of the traders “skudgeon” (whiskey) along dared not sell it there. LaCloche described as a lovely little settlement Thé next day af Sugamug the natives wanted only skudgeon. The whites took over the cabin in the bow and relegated the Indiaps to the stern. Soon a dozen or more Indians â€" men. women and children â€" were sitting or standing on the bow. “Everything is neat about the HB Post, tidy white buildings, the beautiful rushing little river, tumbling over the rocks, spanned by a neat bridge and high above the highest peaks of the LaCloche Moun- tains,” said the report. ‘ '**u M'fhe‘boat was first into the first set- tlement‘s harbor. “And such swearing â€" the only English some knew were “cuss” words and they make use of them with a liberality that was shocking to hear. “Old, half-dressed, wetched looking men staggered about from boat to boat in search of it, the old blind chief was led down to one of the boats and became so drunk he had to be carried away.

Her cup-like chalice head held high, She seemed a Queenly bloom. Yet regal state can sometimes show A proud and haughty air; Which is not nature’s real intent For lilies pure and rare. Some angels who were passing by, Wept as they flew above; And one small tear fell in the cup, And caused the bloom to sigh. Then slowly did her head bend low Toward our Mother earth; So others followd â€" now they all Face down from whence came birth This Easter legend seems to say E’en though we shed a tear: We should raise up our heads each day To greet our Saviour dear.
