oad » oie v Ny May Ble Ni Bey Pay Ws Jo's JOURNAL BY JO ALDWINCKLE Women's Editor of The Times The Oshawa Fair, the "Ex", baskets of plums, peaches and tomatoes and bunches of dill outside the grocery stores all convey the same message -- the holidays are numbered. " Already many have returned from vacations, full of the adventures they have had and the sights they. have seen, It is "the thing'? of course when away from home to take in all the places of interest and it is surprising how many will pay to go nto buldings and museums in other cities who have not yet taken time to visit Oshawa's show places. ; It's hard to believe but I know some citizens who have not been inside the McLaughlin Public Library; many more who have not paid a visit to the Canadian 'Automotive Museum of which. we should all be very proud as it is a national museum as well as the story of Oshawa's industrial development, and the sanctum of our stout-hearted predecessors, the Henry House Museum, So Much To See Known to old-timers as the stone jug with a square cork, due to its construction, the Henry House is furnished with the belongings of pioneer Oshawa and district fam- ilies and two hours is barely enough time to see and understand all that is so attractively displayed. The house was built in 1848 by James Wood, harbor- master, who used limestone which had come as ballast ee hd returning from Kingston, They came to Oshawa ; grain. Mr. Wood died of cholera, the scourge of the pioneer age, which he contracted from 15 dead and dying victims who were dumped by an unknown ship on the wharf at Mr. Wood and his helpers buried the bodies at the pioneer cemetery and a few days later. died of the disease himself. The property was then sold to Mr. Thomas Henry who moved in with his wife and family in 1850, The house contains excellent examples of fine furniture made one hundred years ago in Oshawa. A spinning wheel used by Mrs. David Fleming for 70 years of her ploneer life in @ log cabin, north of Cobourg, is displayed with samples of contemporary spinning and weaving and the ki , the heart of the home in bygone days, contains a handsome, hand-hewn pine china cupboard or dresser as it was called; a butter churn, mammy rocker and all the old-fashioned kitchen utensils. Women in those days must have had the strength of giants. I noticed a knife board for polishing knives, no such thing then as stainless steel and 1 could barely lift the flat-iron which had to be heated first on the wood stove. Housewives always had a pair, because as one cooled, the other was heating. Yet they found time for fancy needlework, Life was grim and life was earnest and the women expressed their profound sentiments in their stitchcraft. A pair of em- broidered cases are inscribed 'I slept and dream- ed that life was beauty." "I woke and found that life was duty." In June 1801, Jean Dick, aged 14 years, finished a cross-stitch sampler in which she had worked: 'Redeem the misepent life that's past, Live each day as "' were thy last, And of thy talents take great care, For the Last Day thyself prepare, Live mindful of death." Poor little Jean, was she really thinking about dying at 14? No Packaged Goods One room is set up as a country store and here you can see everything from crackers in a barrel to hat pins, corks, spices and lamp chimneys. In the dairy are wooden bowls and butter prints and hand-made wooden farm implements including oxen yokes, flatls and cradle rakes. The pioneers knew how to salt down butter that would keep for two years. ' In an upstairs room is a collection of dolls and toys that were loved by children of a bygone day, There are wax dolls, china dolls and dolls made of soft white kid. Some little girls so cherished them that we are able to appreciate them today. It would take hours to study all the old prints and photographs. An enlarged photograph of John Ritson, one of the first school teachers of Oshawa and for whom Ritson toad and Ritson School were named, hangs on a wall along with his bassoon which he brought with him from Northumberland, England, when he came to this country in the early eighteen hundreds. Here in a nutshell is Oshawa's past, garnered for us by the Historical Society. Who was it said "Only those who respect the past, deserve the future'? Another thing that~holiday-making--friends--inflict_on_us is stacks of color slides and amateur movies, seasick- making movies taken from the car or the back of a bus and stills of Aunt Mabel looking at the Falls from the American side. See Oshawa First A short drive around Oshawa with a camera could produce some beautiful pictures that Oshawa tourists could proudly produce on their travels next year. Neve? have our municipal flower beds and parks looked lovelier. Despite all the dire predictions. of vandal. ism, the little statue in Lakéview Park poses unspoiled amid the spray of the fountain and the flower beds around her are colorful masses of balsam in rose and pink and white, canna lilies and Cleome, the pink spider plant. The bed against the wall of Henry House is filled with the old-fashioned kitchen garden varieties, nastur- tiums and hollyhocks and in the formal beds, the name "Henry House" is spelled in plants in one and the maple leaf flag fills another. The terraced beds at the City Hall are tumbling with bloom, marigolds, pink and white 'Magic'? petunias and Celosea, orange-yellow and dark red feathery members of the Coxcomb family, There are two beds of roses, Osh- awa's civic flower, one bed of mixed varieties with some choice blooms and one of red floribunda, Most attractive is the "carpet bedding' in the main entrance with geo- metric designs grown in red and green Alternanthera and a silvery-leaf ground cover plant. These same plants have been used to form the words "Lest We Forget" at the war memorial and here too, in the Garden of the Unforgotten, the flower beds are glowing. , _ There are flower beds at Hillsdale Manor where an ornamental pool is under construction, and flower boxes at Halliday Manor and this year four hundred géeraniums were planted at Alexandra Park. The plants are produced in the city-owned green- houses. Cuttings are taken from the geraniums in the late fall. The dahlia tubers are set out and seeds are started for spring planting. All this in Oshawa? This and more when you stay home in the summer and take time to look around, Philippine Nurses | Coming To Ontario! TORONTO (CP)--A flock of applications from furses in the Philippines wanting to move to Ontario has been received here in the 'wake of a visit to the Pa- cific islands by a team of three senior nurses.
