Printing Office For Pioneer Village The Black Creek Printing Office, the newest addition to the 25 restored, pre-Con- federation buildings at hist- orie Black Creek Pioneer Village, was officially opened dune 18, by William Kinmond, Queen's Printer and Publisher for the Province of Ontario. The Printing Office will make kmown to visitors to Black Creek the important role played by the weekly newspaper in a typical, grow- ing pioneer community. It will also bring to the visitor the philosophy of the early printers, including their desire for a free press and a news- paper which told the whole truth regardless of the conse quences. All the main aspects of the printing profession of the period around 1867 will be shown in a living atmosphere by the Black Creek printer as he operates several work- ing presses of the period. The press has had ao tre mendous influence on social and political changes which occurred in Ontario over the past 170 years, and the Black Creek Printing Office will show how local village printers helped shape and keep in healthy balance the culture of this nation as it developed. Printing equipment in the new office includes a Hoe cylinder flat bed press which was donated recently by W. B. Murkar, former publisher of the Pickering News, and two Washington flat bed presses. The Hoe press was origin- ally owned by the British Whig newspaper founded in Kingston in 1849, and was later used at the Whitby Gazette and the Pickering News. It has the capacity to print 1,250 newspapers per hour as compared to only 200 copies per hour for the Washington presses. The Printing Office is located in a portion of the Kettleby Temperance Hall, which was moved to the Village in 1967. The 1850 building is of Greek revival style architecture and has been restored to the 1867 period. It is typical of many early buildings which over a number of years were used for a variety of functions, including print- ing, since it was rot uncom- mon for a printer to move in- to a community and use any available structure for his LADY MOTORISTS!
