During the American Civil War a few Confederate soldiers, usin: ilCmda as their base, made a raid on the town of St. Alban‘s, Vermont, during which ‘they robbed the local banks of some $200,000. They then escaped to the vicinity of St. Johns, Que. In Octboer 1864 about half the raiders were arrested by Canadian authorities and the money confiscated. But, after a lengthy hearing, the prisonâ€" ers were released and the money returned to them beâ€" cause the presiding police magistrate decided the case was beyond the jurisdiction of Canadian courts The Canadian Government later reimbursed the plundered ‘banks. WHO WERE THE CLEAR GRITS? This was a name given in 1849 to a group within the Reform Party in the province of Canada who were critical of the administration‘s policy on a number of contentious questions. The origin of the term is attributed to David Christie, who wanted in the party "all sand and no dirt, clear grit all the way through." Members of this group eventâ€" ually supported George Brown and provided the nucleus of what came to be the Liberal Party. Theâ€"term Grit is still sometimes used to designate members of that party. ARE MOONRAKERSâ€" ROCKET SHIPS? No, they were the topmost sails sometimes used on famous Canadian clipper ships of the last century. The term clipper ship was applied to a fastâ€"flying, long, narrow vessel rigged with a cloud of sails, including topâ€"gallants, royals, skysails and moonrakers. In the 1850‘s and 1860‘s Canadian shipyards produced magnificent clipper ships, capable of loading 3600 tons deadweight. Lloyd‘s of London gave these streamlined vessels one of the highest classifications â€" 14 years A.1 â€" that was ever given to sailing ships. WHAT WAS DENISON‘S HORSE? It was the name of a voluntary unit organized by George Taylor Denison (1783â€"1853) in 1839. Denisonâ€" settled in York (Toronto) in 1796 and served in the War of 1812 as a militia officer. During the Rebellion of 1837 he comâ€" manded a troop of dragoons which was disbanded in 1839 but was immediately organized as a volunteer corps under his command and known as Denison‘s Horse. The unit later became the Governorâ€"General‘s Body Guard. WINTER‘S ON THE WAY Teaching Traffic Safety starts at home teach them to never cross from between parked cars 21 ROOSEVELT ST.

Mitzi sang "There‘s No Business Like Show â€"Business," the name of the last picture she did when she was under contract to 20th Centuryâ€"Fox. She also ° sang "Cockeyed Optimist." Mr. Lo gan was so impressed, he promâ€" ptly rushed her to Richard Rodgers‘ apartment to repeat her performance. Then she was informed that Oscar Hammerâ€" stein II was in Australia seeing the Olympic Games, and would be in Hollywood for one day. When he arrived there, she sang for him in the Crystal Room of the Beverly Hills Hotel. Weeks later came a request for her to record the numbers. A few weeks later, a secret test was made by Logan. Cinâ€" ematographer â€" Shamroy, â€" and Mitzi, had 20th Centuryâ€"Fox Musical Director Alfred Newâ€" man conducting his entire orâ€" chestra for her test.
